60题答案是A,为什么C不行
59题答案是B,为什么D不行
Matt Mason has seen the future—and it’s fun. Mason likes thinking about how machines can make our lives easier by doing the work we hate, such as cleaning. He shows a hard floor cleaning system(系统)that’s built into the wall: it will blow dirt to a part of the room where it will be collected by a vacuum(吸尘器). Then the system will drop some cleaner on the floor and an arm will mop(用拖把擦)it up. “This may trouble you,” says Kara, an expert in Mason’s company. “But you can program it to come on at 3 a. m., and it will just wet-mop the floor for you.”
When it comes to the kitchen, Bruce Beihoff, another expert at Whirlpool, is sure that in a few years, robots will be doing most of the boring work, freeing us to relax. “More than just fun, future kitchens will be environmentally friendly,” he says. “A new system will be built in the house which can recycle energy(能量)lost from your kitchen to make the whole home warm.”
“The fridge will be the center of the home,” says Daniel Lee, a market expert. The fridge will have a touch screen (触摸屏幕)where you can watch TV, surf the Internet, check your e-mail, keep a shopping list and order vegetables. “Your fridge is the first place you go in the morning and the last place at night,” says Lee.
Ever wonder why a 1.9-meter man and a 1.6-meter woman have to cook meals on counters(工作台)of the same height. “The height was decided over 50 years ago, according to the height of ordinary women,” says Jane Langmuir, an expert of cooking machines. “But times have changed. We have made a new counter where you press a button and it moves to whatever height you want.” At the same time, Ted Selker at MIT’s Counter lab has made the Dishmaker which lets you make dishes and bowls out of plastics at home. After each meal, the dishes are changed straight back into plastics.

在这段阅读材料中,提到了几种发明,不仅仅谈论了fridge.这是其一,
其二,把C:.the fridge can be found in the center of a future house 和描述fridge 的地方做对比:
The fridge will be the center of the home,” says Daniel Lee,a market expert.The fridge will have a touch screen (触摸屏幕)where you can watch TV,surf the Internet,check your e-mail,keep a shopping list and order vegetables.“Your fridge is the first place you go in the morning and the last place at night,” says Lee.
这段说的是fridge 是家庭的中心,家庭的核心,重要的活动中心,并非如C,所说:冰箱在家的中心地带找到.
归纳起来,各种发明将把人从枯燥的家务中解放出来,使人有更多的休闲娱乐时间.
A.people will have more and more time enjoying themselves59题的答案不是B吗?你怎么打出A来不好意思,忽略了文章主题了.59题实际上问的是通过一个侧面反映文章的主题,在开头:Matt Mason has seen the future—and it’s fun. Mason likes thinking about how machines can make our lives easier by doing the work we hate, such as cleaning.接下来文章里列举的发明,都是支持这个主题的,比如:a hard floor cleaning system(系统)that’s built into the wall:robots will be doing most of the boring work,The fridge will be the center of the home,” says Daniel LeeWe have made a new counter where you press a button and it moves to whatever height you want.” 有了这些发明,家务活动,都将会是更容易做,更好玩的,包括厨事在内,这是家务的一个方面.家务,按常识,如文中的一个词描述的:the work we hate,天天作饭,一般来说,也很令人生厌,所以,即使是在将来,有了许多新发明,炊事,也是劳动,首先不应该是娱乐方式: ACD,几个选项里的形容词,就应该排在B选项里的形容词来描述,比较温和客观,也符合文章的主题.
