Future Kitchen

In a house, the kitchen is most likely to change in the future. The refrigerator may be able to talk to the owner when some part of it wears out. So before it stops working, the refrigerator itself" may let you know that there's a problem. In addition, your fridge will also be able to tell you what are inside it. You don't need to stand in front of an open refrigerator and look for what you want. When you have taken out the food from your refrigerator, your table may suggest recipes based on what you put on it. How is this possible? The reason is the tiny computer chips, called RFIDs. They will be put in all the equipment in your kitchen, and even in furniture.
Besides refrigerator and table, other equipment in your kitchen will benefit you because of the chips. The washing machine will know how to wash plates cleaner. And you will be able to control your oven with your cell phone. You put your dinner into the oven before you leave home, and your phone will tell the oven when to start cooking, so that the meal has been ready when you get home. When you go to a grocery store, the RFIDs will also help you a lot. You put the chips in your shopping bag before leaving home, and then they wild tell you what you already have in your refrigerator. And the chips will charge your credit card, so that you don't need to wait for a long lime before the cash desk any more.
If you love all the things today's kitchen can do for you, you'll love what tomorrow's kitchen will do for you.

单选题 The main purpose of the passage is to ______.

【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】[解析] 主旨题。依据是第一段第一句话：In a house, the kitchen is most likely to change, in future。接下来就分别从refrigerator，table，washing equipment, oven等方面来说明厨房未来的发展趋势。文章并非是为了教大家如何使用厨房，只是介绍厨房的发展前景而已；B选项过于宽泛：D选项太狭窄，不足以概括本文写作的目的。

【答案解析】[解析] 细节题。依据是第二段的第六句：You put the chips in your shopping bag before leaving home, and then they will tell you what you already have in your refrigerator．B选项和文中when you go to a grocery store相矛盾；文中第二段最后一句：And the chips will charge your credit card, so that you don't need to wait for a long time before the cash desk any more说的是芯片会自动从信用卡上扣除钱，并没有说不用花钱就能买东西，B选项不正确；第二段提到your phone will tell the oven when to start cooking, so that the meal has been ready when you get home并不是说没有RFIDs我们就不会使用烤箱，只是说RFIDs使我们可以更有效率地使用烤箱，因此C不对。
