    参考答案：

    第5部分：补全短文

    46.A[解析]该空格的前一句…architects are trying to predict(the houses of the future)，从第二段起是对未来房子的描述。此处填"What will our home be like then?"最为合适，起到承上启下的作用。

    47.E[解析]根据第二段内容，可以看出此处需要填的内容和"grow and claange withthe family"有关，因此选E。

    48.B [解析]第三段讲未来的厨房是智能的，我们可以和厨房里的机器交谈，因此选B。

    49.C[解析]这一段讲房子可以自己改变颜色，所以C是正确答案。

    50.D[解析]选项F放在此处显得唐突，因为文章没有对卧室进行描写。而选项D是对未来房子整体上的描述，适合做为文章的最后一句话。

　　E. However, it will probably still be noticed, and people will know you’re not pleased.

　　Posture. A good posture makes you feel better about yourself. __4__. This makes breathing more difficult, which in turn can make you feel nervous or uncomfortable.
