英語九年級(9B) Unit1 自測練習(xí)4 姓名:________ 班級:________ 成績:________ 一、閱讀單選 Someone has put forward a dream home which is so advanced(先進(jìn)的）that its kitchen can suggest what to make with certain things. Also, a Microsoft home doesn’t just warn you when you’re out of milk—it can send you a fresh gallon. But are these innovation(創(chuàng)新）just magic, or are they really coming soon to a neighborhood near you? To find out, US News asked some experts to get their opinions about the home of the near future. Here’s a look at the innovations. A great number of buildings filled with units look the same. The coming years, however, will give way to a personalized approach(個(gè)性化手段）to home construction (住宅建設(shè)). The houses will be an instrument of self-expresion. “The successful builders will be the ones that figure out how to change their production model enough to make the buyers feel like they are really getting something that is designed for them, not just a model,” says Kermit Baker, the chief economist(首席經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)家）at the American Institute of Architects. Future home will probablyshrink. “We will be building smaller but smarter houses, says Ed McMahon, a senior resident fellow(高級研究員) at the Urban Land Institute.“Instead of having a room for just one use, consumers will demand homes that make better use of space,” says Susanka, whose best-selling book, The Not So Big House, has a great influence in home design. Seldom-used quarters, such as dining and living rooms, will be replaced with space that can serve both functions. “The goal of his ‘right-size, home is to fit its owners like a specially cut suit rather than a jacket you buy in a store,” says Susanka. 1 .
