答案:46. B 47. E 48. C 49. D 50. A
解析
46.B [解析]該空格的前一句是"architects are trying to preclict(the houses of the future)",從第2段起是對未來房子的描述。此處填"what will our home be like then?"最為合適,起到承上啟下的作用。
47.E [解析]根據(jù)第2段內(nèi)容,可以看出此處需要填的內(nèi)容和"families grow aldchange with children arriving growing up anclleaving home"有關(guān),因此選E"The house of the future will llave to grow and change with the family"。
48.C[解析]第3段講未來的廚房是智能的,我們可以和廚房里的機器交談,因此選C"And the machine will tell us that food we will have to buy and how to cook it"。
49.D [解析]這一段講房子可以自己改變顏色,所以選項D"You will be able to claangethe color of the wall easily"是正確答案。
50.A [解析]選項F"The kid might take tlaeir bedrooms with them as tlaey leave"放在此處顯得唐突,因為文章沒有對臥室進行描寫。而選項A"The only thing you won’t be able to do ismove the llouse somewlaere else"是對未來房子整體上的描述,適合做文章的結(jié)尾。
