47、千亿美元的投资。【微技能点拨】词义猜测题解题时往往借助上下文语境,有时也会运用构词法,大大提高词义猜测的准确性。本文中的intensify所在句的前半句说“因为世界上越来越多的人依赖太空基础设施提供上网的通路”,可知人们对于行动的需求将增强。intense,adj.非常强烈的,紧张的;intensive,adj.加强的,增强的;-fy是形容词转化为动词的一个后缀。结合前半句语意及构词法知识,可推出intensify意为“使增强”。话题词汇orbit轨道,collision 碰撞,satellite 卫星,cyber 网络的,hacker黑客,intensify增强,commercialize商
