11.Do you forget to turn off the lights and heaters when you go out of a room?In 2040 it will not matter.They will turn themselves off and on again when you return.You will choose the temperature for each room,the lighting and the humidity.A sensor will detect the presence of a human ( and,with luck,ignore the dog!) and turn the systems on,and when the humans leave it will turn them off again.
The sensors will work through the central home computer,and they will do much more than just turn the fires and lights on and off.They will detect faulty electrical appliances,plugs or switches,isolate (切断) them so that they cannot harm anyone,and then warn you that they need repair.They will detect fire and if you are out of the house,the computer will call the fire brigade.It will also call the police if the sensors should detect an intruder (不速之客).This will not be too difficult because the locks on the outside doors will be electronic.You will open them using your personal card-the one you use for shopping-maybe using a number known only to you.
It will be impossible to lose the key,and a housebreaker will have to tamper (拨弄) with the lock or with a window.It is not very difficult to make such tampering send a signal to the computer.
The computer will be more than a fireman-policeman-servant.It will be an entertainer,and most of your entertainment will come right into your home.It does now,of course,but by 2040"entertainment"will mean much more.For one thing,you will be able to take part actively,rather than just watching…

分析 本文属于说明文阅读,作者通过这篇文章向我们介绍了在2040年的一些新技术,在那时灯和加热器会自动开关,中央家用电脑会在我们不在家时关注家中的情况,并且我们可能不再需要钥匙,在家中也会有更多可以参与的娱乐活动,这样在家中我们也不会感到无聊.
解答 66.C 细节理解题,根据第一段In 2040it will not matter.They will turn themselves off and on again when you return.You will choose the temperature for each room,the lighting and the humidity.可知在20240年灯和加热器会自动开关,故选C.
67.B 细节理解题,根据第二段They will detect fire and if you are out of the house,the computer will call the fire brigade.可知该传感器如果在你不在家的时候检测到火灾电脑会叫消防队,而不是拨打紧急电话,故选B.
68.B 推理判断题,根据第三段It will be impossible to lose the key,and a housebreaker will have to tamper (拨弄) with the lock or with a window.It is not very difficult to make such tampering send a signal to the computer.可知在2040年新技术可能会使我们不需要钥匙,这样也就不会把钥匙弄丢,故选B.
69.D 细节理解题,根据最后一段The computer will be more than a fireman-policeman-servant.It will be an entertainer,and most of your entertainment will come right into your home.It does now,of course,but by 2040"entertainment"will mean much more.For one thing,you will be able to take part actively,rather than just watching…可知多亏了电脑我们在2040年可以在家有更多的娱乐活动,你可以积极参与这些活动而不是只是观看,故选D.
