25、天赋；再根据后一句可推知，空处在本段中起到承上启下的作用。故C项“早在1983年，他就被要求预测2019年的世界会是什么样子”切题。2D由空后句可知，阿西莫夫认为计算机将引发一场可与工业革命相比的革命，根据第一段可知，下文叙述阿西莫夫预测的事情，故D项“对计算机在未来所扮演的角色方面，他的预测极其准确”与本段内容符合，故选D。3G由空前句可知，他对太空探索进行了很多预测，所以空处要继续谈论他预言的结果。G项“国际空间站印证了他的预言我们不仅要进入太空，还要设法留在那里”与太空探索话题相关，而且是预测的事情。故选G。4A由下一句“He read the newspapers and magazi
26、nes sold in his parents candy store. ”可知，他读了父母的糖果店出售的报纸和杂志。A项“阿西莫夫是一个聪明的孩子，在五岁时就开始自学阅读”与下面一句都在讲阅读，衔接紧密。这两句共同解释上面的问题，即首句内容“阿西莫夫是如何培养他对未来发展的特殊意识的？”。故选A。5F由该空所在位置判断此处应填入本段的主旨句。由下文可知，阿西莫夫能把握科学和社会变革的脉搏。他在银河帝国系列等作品中清楚地预见了人类即将面临的事情。故F项“作为一名作家，他的书的特色是以科技引起的社会变革为主题”作为本段主旨句最为合适。完形填空One year after Tom was born
