1 . 将下列几个部分(A、B、C、D和E)按题号排序，构成一个符合逻辑的完整语篇。
A. People have always been interested in how things will change in the future. But we should remember that people have often got things wrong.
B. Undoubtedly, these predictions weren’t right. But we can be sure that developments in IT today will become the changes in our lifestyles tomorrow. It’s possible that by 2025, anything small enough to contain a microchip (微型芯片) will have one.
C. So, for example, household technology might be very different. We could have fridges which can read the use-by date on your milk. Or our washing machines could be so smart that when something goes wrong, they send a message to a service engineer about the problem.
D. In 1943, Thomas Watson, the founder of IBM, was asked what he thought about the future of technology. And he predicted that one day there might be a worldwide market “for maybe five computers”. And H. G. Wells, the writer, said that one day public transport would be moving walkways, and you’d just step on and off to go anywhere you wanted.
E. And even the things you wear could be connected to this technology. For example, a device could change your mobile to various settings, depending on whether you’re in your work or casual clothes. But if you don’t like the sound of all this, don’t worry. Even H. G. Wells got the future wrong!
