(C)☑对标KET能力 幻想未来 阅读短文内容，判断下列句子的正(T)误(F)。(10分)
In 1964, Isaac Asimov wrote an article, trying to predict(预测) what the world would look like in 2014. Now, in 2026, let's read a few of his most interesting ideas.
Seeing the person you call
Asimov believed that by 2014, people would be able to see each other during phone calls. In 1964, some early mobile phones existed. But they looked nothing like the ones we know today. Instead, they were large and difficult to use. Today, video calls are common.
Cars that can drive by themselves
Back in 2014, plans were being made for self-driving cars. And now companies are leading the way with driverless cars. In China, Guangzhou has over 500 self-driving cars running across the city. It seems that Asimov was onto something!

Unmanned spaceships to Mars
Since 1964, several rovers(火星探测车) have reached Mars. Now, scientists worldwide are working to bring Martian rocks back to the Earth. China is leading the space race and the country's Tianwen-3 mission(任务) plans to carry out two launches(发射) around 2028.
Although Asimov's predictions seemed crazy at the time, some ideas have come true. This also reminds us that today's wild ideas could be tomorrow's reality. With creativity, courage, and action, anything is possible. So keep dreaming—your ideas might just shape the future.
()1. Asimov wrote an article in 2014 to guess the future life.
()2. The mobile phones in 1964 looked like the ones we use today.
()3. The underlined words "was onto something" can be replaced with "had the right idea".
()4. From the passage, we can know two launches for the Tianwen-3 mission will be carried out.
()5. The writer wants to remind us "Dream big, and make it happen".

【分析】本题为英语阅读理解判断正误题，解题思路是：先通读短文把握主旨（Asimov对未来的预测及实现情况），再针对每个小题的表述，回到原文定位相关语句，将选项表述与原文内容逐一对比，判断是否一致，从而得出正确答案。
【解析】1. 原文明确说明Asimov是在1964年写文章预测2014年的世界，而非2014年，故该题错误（F）；2. 原文提到1964年的早期手机和现在的样子完全不同，故该题错误（F）；3. 前文提到自动驾驶汽车已成为现实，说明Asimov的想法是正确的，“was onto something”可替换为“had the right idea”，故该题正确（T）；4. 原文指出天问三号任务计划在2028年左右进行两次发射，故该题正确（T）；5. 原文最后一段强调要坚持梦想，想法可能塑造未来，作者意图是提醒我们大胆梦想并实现，故该题正确（T）。
【答案】1.F 2.F 3.T 4.T 5.T
