问答题2.Interlocutor: Now, I'd like you to talk about something between yourselves. We're just going to listen. (Place the Picture Sheet 1 in front of both candidates.) I'd like you to imagine what will happen in the future. This is the picture for your reference. It shows four kinds of events: 1) robot servant; 2) traveling to the moon; 3) home education by computers; 4) environment-friendly automatic cars.
【正确答案】1. I would like to have a robot servant in future. Nowadays, we spend much time in doing the housework and we don't have enough time doing our work or just having a rest. Though we now have many inventions like the washing machine, the dishwasher and the dust cleaner, they are far from enough to totally liberate people from the housework. A robot can listen to my orders and do all the housework in my house. The work will be very efficient. The robot servant is especially helpful for those disabled and patients. 2. Traveling by spacecraft to the moon like those astronauts is what I expect. It will be very interesting and pleasant to look at the universe and the planets through the window. The zero gravity can also make people fly or jump around. The moon can be made as a resort, and travelers in future who are tired of the earth can go to the moon for a change. Though it's not suitable for human existence, with no air for example, it must be a precious experience to see another planet different from our own. 3. I want to see the change of education in future. The education today has many disadvantages. In future, I hope children can be self-educated at home by the computer. They can freely choose their courses and if they do well in study, they can skip to higher education even if they don't arrive at the normal age required by the school today. The computer can automatically choose the leaning materials fit for each student. Children can freely develop their own interests and decide their future career. They can communicate with their friends and classmates on the Internet. 4. It will be very exciting to have an environmental-friendly automatic car in future. Nowadays cars use oil which pollutes the air. And the oil can also be used up one day. Future cars use a new type of fuel which has no harm to the environment and is inexhaustible. Moreover, the car is driven by the computer with no human driver. This can also reduce our trouble. For example, even if the parents are busy, children can still go out in cars and parents won't be worried.
