22、未来会是什么样子的，其实要想展望未来，必须了解过去。不管世界如何变化，人们的基本需求如食物、睡眠、被欣赏和爱的感觉等不会改变，未来的虚拟世界也不会代替真实的世界。但是可以预知，未来五十年里，世界将从依靠石油的社会过渡到新的社会，人们的生活会更好。1D根据空处下文可知，在过去的150年里，世界发生了巨大的变化；结合空前一句可推知，空处承上启下，说明我们想要展望未来，就要了解过去，故D项符合语境。2A根据空前一句可知，在过去的150年里，人们的基本需求如食物、睡眠、被欣赏和爱的感觉没有变化，结合空后的“No”可知，空处应是一个疑问句，并与空前一句讲人的基本需求相呼应，故A项与此处匹配。3G根据该段
23、第二句可知，该段主要讲的是预知未来的两个原因，空前一句讲的是第一个原因，即需要思考自己想要的并传递给下一代的未来是什么样的；据此可知，空处陈述第二个原因，即需要知道做出怎样的决定才能给未来带来最好的结果，故G项正确。其中G项中的“Then we need to”与空前一句中的“First，we need to”相呼应。4F根据空后一句可知，即使一项重大发明的价格我们可以承受，但是虚拟体验绝不会代替真实体验，结合空处上文可推知，F项符合语境，衔接上下文。5B根据空处下文可知，该段介绍了对未来五十年的展望：从依靠石油的社会过渡到新的社会；未来的生活更好。故B项与此处匹配。.语法填空If youve

30、ntinuing或continued或continual。3surroundings考查名词。分析句子结构可知，空处被形容词性物主代词your修饰，应用名词形式，所以填surroundings“环境”。4ignored考查动词的语态。分析句子结构可知，此处与句子主语Repeating information构成被动关系，故应用被动结构，即bedone；另句中已有be，所以填ignored。5closed考查非谓语动词。with复合结构为“with名词/代词分词/形容词/副词/介词短语/名词”在句子中作状语。your eyes和动词close构成逻辑上的动宾关系，所以填closed。6to st
31、art考查非谓语动词。此处考查固定句型“it takes some time to do sth.”，其中it作形式主语，不定式短语为真正的主语。7when/as/while考查状语从句。根据语境并分析句子结构可知，空处引导一个状语从句，意为“当的时候”，所以填when或as或while。8a考查冠词。researcher是可数名词，又是第一次在语境中出现，表泛指，故用不定冠词修饰，又researcher的发音以辅音音素开头，故用a。9exposure考查名词。分析句子结构可知，空处应为名词，作动词limit的宾语，所以填exposure。10in考查介词。be helpful in doing sth.“有助于做某事”是固定用法，所以填介词in。
