31、篇解读】文章预测了未来的人类和现在的人类会有哪些方面的不同。1E空前一句中“he will be different from what he is today”说明未来的人类和今天的人类不同；E项中“Thats because.”表示原因，“man is slowly changing all the time”是解释未来的人类和今天的人类不同的原因。E项顺承空前一句的话题。故选E。2D上文提到“man will continue to grow taller(人类的身高不断变高)”和 “we shall need even larger ones(我们将需要更大的脑容量)”，这些都是身体上
32、的变化，D项中“This”指代上文的“我们将需要更大的脑容量”；空后一句“The head, in particular the forehead, will grow larger(头部，尤其是前额，会变大)”是具体说明D项中“physical changes”。故选D。3A空后一句“we use them so much.(我们使用它们太过频繁，以至于它们变得很弱，我们不得不戴眼镜)”说明我们现在经常使用眼睛；A项中“our eyes are in constant use(我们的眼睛在不断地被使用)”，“in constant use ”与空后一句中“use them so much”语
33、义一致。故选A。4C空前一句“we tend to make less use of our arms and legs.”说明我们较少使用胳膊和腿；C项中“these”指代上一句中的“our arms and legs”；“grow weaker”与“make less use of”相呼应。故选C。5G空后一句提到“He will still be a human being, with thoughts and emotions similar to our own.(他仍然是人类，有着和我们相似的思想和情感)”，其中“similar to our own”与G项中“have a lot in common with us(与我们有很多共同之处)”语义一致；G项中“future man will still.”与空后一句中“He will still.”句式并列。故选G。
