Question

Our Future Homes

　What kinds of homes will we live         the future? Nobody can be sure,         architects, and scientists are         new ideas now.

　　Some architects are thinking about          whole cities under huge glass domes. Of course, complicated heating and        systems will be necessary to control the climate in the domes.        , there will never be any rain      snow, and the temperature will be always        .

　　Perhaps everyone will live in vertical（立體的）       . High rises are so large that they can contain all the necessities of life. Since vertical cities will use        land than horizontal cities, and provide homes for more people, they will be       for small countries that have      populations.

Another idea that will be helpful to        countries (and island countries) is

the      city. Monaco has already built homes, stores, and offices         the water of the Mediterranean Sea. And a Japanese       has made a plan for constructing buildings on bridges over Tokyo Bay.

　　There are some people who think we will go back to living in       . But the caves of the future will be quite      the caves of the Stone Age. Computers will control light and climate. Farms and parks will be on the land      the cave city. When people want to go to the country or to a park, a short ride in       will take them there.

【解析】

試題分析：文章敘述了建筑師對未來家園的幾種設想：圓頂的城市，立體的城市，漂浮的城市，山洞城市。

1.C考查介詞。句意: 在將來我們住在什么樣的房子里呢？因為賓語是房子，live居住，是不及物動詞，帶賓語時需加in，再有就是關鍵詞the future，構成短語：in the future，所以C正確。

2.C考查連詞。句意:沒有人能夠確定，但考古學家和科學家正在想出新的想法呢。根據前后兩句之間的關系應該是轉折關系，but是連詞，而however是副詞，因為前后是兩個句子，應該用連詞，所以Ｃ正確。

3.A考查動詞短語辨析。句意: 但考古學家和科學家正在設計新的想法呢。A. working out          設計出，計算出       B. working at從事             C. working on     從事     D. thinking認為，根據句意應該是設計出，所以A正確。

4.D考查動詞辨析。句意:一些考古學家正在考慮在巨大玻璃圓頂下建一座城市。A. burying        埋 B. destroying毀壞C. founding成立         D. building建造，根據句意所以D正確。

5.A考查詞義辨析。句意:當然了，復雜的加熱和冷卻系統將是必要的。把握關鍵詞and，前后連接并列成分，前面是加熱，后面應該是冷卻，A. cooling  冷卻B. cold      冷的C. living     生活D. social社會的，社交的，所以A正確。

6. C考查副詞。句意:將不會有雨也不會有雪，根據前后句之間當然是因果關系，A. So 因此（連詞）B. However然而 C. Therefore因此（副詞）D. Even if（即使），根據空后的逗號，所以是副詞，所以C正確。

7.A考查連詞。句意: 將不會有雨也不會有雪，根據句意是連續否定，所以用or .

8.D考查形容詞。句意:溫度將是總是讓人舒服的。根據前句既有圓頂，又有冷卻和加熱系統，A. pleased 高興的    B. happy高興的C. content滿意的D. comfortable舒適的，所以D正確

9.D考查名詞。句意:或許大家都愿意住在立體的城市里。根據后線索：Since vertical cities will use        land than horizontal cities,，所以是城市，D正確

10.D考查形容詞和語境理解。句意:由于立體的城市將比地面上的城市使用更少的土地。根據句意和語境理解，因為是立體的，所以使用的土地更少，所以D正確。

11.A考查形容詞。句意:由于用地少，為更多的人提供的家園，所以對于人口多的小城市來說更加實用。A. practical實用的B. expensive昂貴的      C. unnecessary不必要的D. useless無用的，所以A正確

12.D考查形容詞。句意: 對于人口多的小城市來說更加實用。根據固定用法：人口的多少不用many，much，而應該用large和small，所以D正確

13.B考查語境理解。句意:對于小的國家和島國有幫助的另外一個想法就是漂流的城市。根據前線索：they will be      for small countries，float意思為"漂浮"，此處為現在分詞短語作定語。所以B正確

14.C考查語境理解。句意: 對于小的國家和島國有幫助的另外一個想法就是漂流的城市，根據后線索：and offices         the water of the Mediterranean Sea.，所以C正確

15.D考查介詞。句意: 摩納哥已經在地中海的海面上建了家園，商店和辦公室。因為是漂在水面上的，所以用on，所以D正確

16.D考查名詞和語境理解。句意:一個日本的建筑師做了一個跨越東京灣建房的計劃。. A. teacher老師B. sailor       船員C. doctor  醫生D. architect建筑師，所以D正確。

17.B考查名詞。句意:還有人認為我們將回到山洞里居住。go back to doing sth.意思為"重操舊業"。這里是指又重新生活在洞穴里，所以B正確。

18.A考查形容詞短語。句意未來的山洞和石器時代的山洞很不同。根據后線索Computers will control light and climate，當然是不同了，所以A正確。

19.C考查介詞。句意:農田和公園將在山洞城市的上面A. under在。。。下面 B. in        在。。。里C. over      在。。。上方      D. far from遠離，over是指在洞穴的上方，所以C正確

20.C考查名詞。句意:當人們想去鄉村或者公園時坐電梯一會就到。根據前線索：Farms and parks will be on the land      the cave city，是往上走，所以C正確。

考點：社會生活類短文理解。
