Ⅳ.阅读理解

A

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?

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.

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 unheard­of in Watkins' day.It was another 15 years

before the first call was made， by Alexander Bell， even from one coast of the US to 2018-2019学年高二英语人教版必修五练习：Unit 3 课下能力提升（十） Word版含答案

the other.The idea of wireless telephone was truly revolutionary.

Pre。prepared meals

“Ready。cooked meal 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。

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.

语篇解读:1900年，美国工程师John Elfreth Watkins对人类100年后将会出现的事物做出了预测，他的许多预测如今已经实现。

1．The writer wrote the above paragraphs mainly to ________。

A．tell us what the world was like 100 years ago

B．explain how Watkins made so many predictions

C．introduce what Watkins predicted right

D．encourage us to make more predictions

解析:选C 写作意图题。一百年前，美国工程师Watkins做出了许多预言，本文主要介绍了得到应验的部分预言。

2．According to the second prediction， we can surely say 100 years ago ________。
