Ⅳ. Read and answer the questions.
Technology has the power to do many things, including changing the world we live in and the way we live. Here are three predictions about future life.
A. Every home will have a smart mirror that can check people’s health. Just in a minute, it will tell them about health problems or give them advice. The information might help people prepare.
B. The pollution problems are serious. In the near future, to keep people safe in the polluted environment, some high-tech masks(口罩) will be born. Those masks will help clean the air and stop viruses from the air people breathe. In the future, the masks will be far more common.
C. There won’t be sufficient space for people living in cities in the future. With large population, the city will be crowded. At that time, roads and houses will be built over the waters. When self-driving cars do all the work and are fast enough, journeys across oceans might not be unrealistic(不切实际的) either.
()1. In which part of a magazine can we read the text?
A. Culture. B. Lifestyle. C. Education. D. Technology.
()2. What are Prediction A and B about?
A. Food. B. Travel. C. Health. D. Environment.
()3. What is the closest meaning of the underlined word “sufficient”?
A. Clean. B. Useful. C. Popular. D. Enough.
4. Among the three predictions, which one do you want to try one day? Why?

解析
【分析】
首先通读全文，明确文章主题是科技对未来生活的三个预测。第1题需判断文章所属杂志板块，根据开头提及的Technology及三个预测均为科技相关内容确定；第2题分析A、B预测的核心内容，A涉及健康检查，B涉及防污染和病毒，均与健康相关；第3题通过上下文语境猜测划线词词义，后文提到城市拥挤，可推断sufficient意为“足够的”；第4题是开放性问题，结合自身选择一个预测并说明合理理由即可。
【解析】
1. 第1题：文章开篇点明Technology的作用，三个预测均围绕科技展开，因此属于杂志的Technology板块，答案选D。
2. 第2题：Prediction A提到智能镜子检查健康问题、提供健康建议；Prediction B提到高科技口罩帮助清洁空气、阻挡病毒，二者均与健康相关，答案选C。
3. 第3题：划线词所在句意为“未来城市没有足够的空间供人们居住”，结合后文“城市会拥挤”可推断sufficient表示“足够的”，对应选项D（Enough）。
4. 第4题：开放性问题，选择三个预测中的一个，阐述合理理由即可，示例选择智能镜子，理由是它能提供健康建议，帮助人们提前做好准备。
【答案】1.D 2.C 3.D；4. One possible version: I want to try the smart mirror because it can give health advice and help me prepare.
