题目内容

根据以下资料,回答1~4题。 The year 2000 will bring big changes in communication.Cell phones will be small enough to carry in your pocket.Videophones will let you see the person you are talking to on the phone.Tiny hand size computers will know your favorite subjects.The Internet and email will be everywhere. Technologists believe 2000 will be the year of video messaging.You will be able to see whom you're talking to. Also in the near future small wireless boxes will pick up information from satellites.In 5 years, computers won't need to be connected through wires. All of this will be good for rural areas and countries that don't have cable or telephone now. In 20 years you may only need to think about something and the computer will do it. Constance Hale is the author of Sin and Syntax, "I believe that email has been an incredible boon to communication.People are writing today where they would have been telephoning yesterday.So people are engaging with words more than they have for the last couple generations." If people use email and the Internet more, it could make people better readers and writers.Some people think the most important part of communication is to make people understand each other better.Will technology make that easier? The translator also comes in handy in medical emergencies.Tam Dinh says, "Where people are injured it's always important to get as much information as quickly as possible." Bob Parks is an Associate Editor of Wired Magazine, "Bob's morning begins at about 6:45 am.and Bob is kind of mad, because Bob usually gets up at around 7:15 and likes to cut it close with his morning commute, but I look at my radio and it says that there's a traffic jam on 101 South and I'm gonna need an extra 1/2 hour.And so my radio has got a net connection, wireless net connection as well as a good old power cord to the wall and it has received notice that there's a traffic jam and it has calculated an extra 1/2 hour commute time." Some day everything may be connected to the Internet.Your refrigerator will add milk to your Internet grocery list when the date on the carton has passed.Light bulbs will be ordered before they burn out. It's fun to try to guess the future.Usually the predictions are wrong.The one thing we know for sure is that we can't imagine how technology will change. How will wireless computers and Internet services help rural areas? A.One of the biggest barriers to Internet use is getting wires into rural areas. B.The wireless computers will be cheaper. C.People in rural areas don't have anything else to do. D.People in rural areas already have wireless boxes on their roofs.

根据以下资料,回答17~20题。 Many people catch a cold in the springtime and/or fall.It makes us wonder., if scientists can send a man to the moon, why can't they find a cure for the common cold.The answer is easy.There are literally hundreds of kinds of cold viruses out there.You never know which one you will get, so there isn't a cure for each one. When a virus attacks your body, your body works hard to get rid of it.Blood rushes to your nose and brings congestion with it.You feel terrible because you can't breathe well, but your body is actually "eating" the virus.Your temperature rises and you get a fever, but the heat of your body is killing the virus.You also have a runny nose to stop the virus from getting to your cells.You may feel miserable, but actually your wonderful body is doing everything it can to kill the cold. Different people have different remedies for colds.In the United States and some other countries, for example, people might eat chicken soup to feel better.Some people take hot baths and drink warm liquids.Other people take medicines to stop the fever, congestion, and runny nose. There is one interesting thing to note--some scientists say taking medicines when you have a cold is actually bad for you.The virus stays in you longer because your body doesn't have a way to fight it and kill it.Bodies can do an amazing job on their own.There is a joke, however, on taking medicine when you have a cold.It goes like this: If takes about one week to get over a cold if you don't take medicine, but only seven days to get over a cold if you take medicine. The reason that scientists cannot cure a common cold is __. A.we don't know how we get cold B.we aren't sure the exact kind of cold viruses C.we don't know when we will catch cold D.we aren't sure the exact scientific method
