10、会是什么样子,世界局势有哪些变化呢?乔治弗莱德曼在他的未来百年中做了预测。不过他的预言是否正确,只能等到一百年之后来判定了。1A.before BaheadCago Dcoming解析:选 B 通览全文可知,本文与未来百年的预言有关,ahead 可以表示将来时间,而 before, ago 均表示过去,coming 修饰名词时应置于其前。故选 B 项。2A.made BproducedCcreated Dcontributed解析:选 A make predictions“做出预言” 。produce“生产(产品) ”;create “创造( 前所未有的东西)” ;contribute“贡献,
11、捐献 ”。根据语境可知, B、C、D 三项与语境不符。3A.what BhowCwhich Dthat解析:选 B 在该书中,弗莱德曼向世人展示了在未来一个世纪世界将如何变化。下文就世界变化的趋势做了分析,因此 how 符合题意。4A.changed BdoneCdiscussed Dfinished解析:选 C 现在世人讨论的主要问题是如何养活不断增长的人口。5A.concern BfactCproblem Dchallenge解析:选 D 弗莱德曼认为这种关注将被人口出生率下降的挑战所取代。concern 与about 搭配,fact 与 problem 不足以描述问题的严重性。6A.si
12、tuation BworldCprediction Dpopulation解析:选 D 由上文的“a growing population”可知,第二段讨论人口问题,这里说的是很大一部分人口的老龄化同样是未来百年人类面临的挑战。7A.turns to Bkeeps toCcomes to Dlinks to解析:选 C 第三段讲了有关气候变化的问题。 come to“涉及,论及” ;turn to “转向”;keep to“遵守” ;link to“联系”均与语境无关,予以排除。8A.sun BearthCmoon Dspace解析:选 B 本段介绍了如何利用太阳能的情况。唯一的问题是将阳光反
13、射到地球上。也就是说在地面上接收太阳能,因此 A、C、D 三项错误。9A.other BanotherCthe other Dthe second解析:选 C 前文称有两种方法,一种是用光缆,另一种是通过微波辐射。the other“两者中的另一个 ”。10A.predictions BproblemsCsituations Dchallenges解析:选 A 本文与百年预言有关,前面讲了有关人口、气候的预言,这里讲关于政治的预言。11A.Poland BMexicoCTurkey Dthe United States解析:选 B 由常识可知,墨西哥和美国属于北美国家。再根据下一段美国和墨西哥
14、的争端可知,弗莱德曼预测了墨西哥将称雄北美洲的可能。12A.generally BnormallyCproperly Deventually解析:选 D 墨西哥对美国的霸权的憎恨最终会变得更强烈。13A.in case Beven thoughCas though Das if解析:选 B 从逻辑关系来看,墨西哥对美国霸权的憎恨与两国间牢固的贸易关系形成了对比,因此用表示转折关系的连词 even though“尽管 ”。in case“以防” ,as though 和as if 都是“好像 ”的意思,这三项与语境无关。14A.it BthereCthat Done解析:选 B 弗莱德曼称未来有
15、可能发生世界大战。这是一个 there be 句型,因此 B项正确。A、C、D 项都不表示存在。15A.time BspaceCthe space Dthe harbor解析:选 B 这场战争将动用空间武器。根据后面的 “platforms from bases on the moon”可以判断,这将是一场空间大战。16A.war BfightCbattle Dattack解析:选 D 在某种意义上很像 星球大战版的 1941 年日本偷袭美国珍珠港军舰。根据前一句的 attack 暗示,应选 D 项。17A.why BthatCwhether Dif解析:选 B 这里是 admit 的两个宾语
16、从句。第二个宾语从句的连词不可省略。admit后接的句子没有疑问或否定意义,因此不用 whether 或 if。18A.business BaffairsCmatters Devents解析:选 D 本文是对未来世纪大事件的预测。而 business“商务” ,affairs“政务” ,matters“琐事”均不符合语境。故选 D 项。19A.about BonCto Dfor解析:选 B final judgment on“对做出最终判决” 。但他说对他的预言能够做出最终评判的只能是那些一百年之后还活着的人了。20A.live BaliveCavailable Ddead解析:选 B 只有活
17、着的人才可以对弗莱德曼的预言做出评判,因此 B 项正确。.阅读理解Are you glued to your laptop or other digital devices (数码产品) day after day?They are everywhere in your life.The fancier they are, the more you will want to access them.However, technology can really isolate (隔离) you from society or the community you live in.This can
