第一节（共4小题；每小题5分，满分20分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

In 1900, an American engineer called John Elfreth Watkins made a number of predictions about what the world would be like in 2000. So what did Watkins get right and wrong 100 years later?

1. Digital color photography

"Photographs will be telegraphed from any distance. If there is a battle in China a hundred years hence, snapshots of its most striking events will be published in the newspapers an hour later _ Photographs will reproduce all of nature's colors."

Watkins did not, of course, use the word "digital" or describe precisely how digital cameras and computers would work, but he accurately predicted how people would come to use new photographic technology. When Watkins was making his predictions, it took a week for a picture of something happening in China to make its way into Western papers.

2. Mobile phones

"Wireless telephone and telegraph circuits will span the world. A husband in the middle of the Atlantic will be able to converse with his wife sitting in her boudoir in Chicago. We will be able to telephone to China as readily as we now talk from New York to Brooklyn."

International phone calls were unheard-of in Watkins's, day. It was another 15 years before the first call was made, by Alexander Bell even from one coast of the US to the other.

The idea of wireless telephony was truly revolutionary.

3. Pre-prepared meals

"Ready-cooked meals will be bought from establishments similar to our bakeries of today.“

The popularity of ready meals in supermarkets and takeaway shops suggests that Watkins was right although he supposed that the meals would be delivered on plates which would be returned to the cooking establishments to be washed.

4. Hothouse vegetables

"Winter will be turned into summer and night into day by the farmer with electric wires under the soil and large gardens under glass."

Large gardens under glass were already a reality, but he was correct to predict the use of electricity. Although colored lights and electric currents did

not take off, they were probably experimented with.

1. In 1900, Watkins predicted accurately _______.

A. a war would break out in China one century later

B. photos would reach the other side of the earth via the Internet

C. how digital cameras and computers would work

D. people would use new photographic technology

2. According to the second prediction, we can surely say 100 years ago_______ .

A. people had easy access to international telephone calls

B. people could conveniently make a call from New York to Brooklyn

3. What can we infer from the passage?

A. Ready-cooked meals were popular 100 years ago.

B. Watkins predicted plates would be washed before they were returned.

C. Watkins would carry out experiments to test his predictions.

D. Large gardens under glass had been put in use 100 years ago.

3. What will most probably be discussed in the next part of the passage?

A. Some wrong predictions from Watkins.

B. Some predictions for the next century.

C. Great changes that took place in the 20th century.

D. Comments on Watkins ' s predictions from all walks of life.
