9、.00)A great deal of attention is being paid today to the so-called digital dividethe division of the world into the information rich and the information poor. And that (1) does exist today.

As the Internet becomes more and more (6) , it is in the interest of business to universalize (使普遍化) accessafter all, the more people onli
11、ne, the more potential (7) there are. More and more (8) , afraid their countries will be left (9) , want to spread Internet access. Within the next decade or two, one to two billion people on the planet will be (10) together. As a result, I now believe the digital divide will (11) rather than widen
12、in the years ahead. And that is very good news because the Internet may well be the most powerful tool for (12) world poverty that weve ever had.Of course, the use of the Internet isnt the only way to (13) poverty. And the Internet is not the only tool we have. But it has (14) potential.To (15) adva
13、ntage of this tool, some poor countries will have to get over their outdated anti-colonial prejudices (16) respect to foreign investment. Countries that still think foreign investment is a/an (17) of their sovereignty might well study the history of (18) (the basic structural foundations of a societ

18、), when supercomputers will dramatically accelerate progress in all areas of life.Pearson has (1) together the work of hundreds of researchers around the world to produce a (2) millennium technology calendar that gives the latest dates when we can expect hundreds of key (3) and discoveries to take p
19、lace. Some of the biggest developments will be in medicine, including an (4) life expectancy and dozens of artificial organs (5) into use between now and 2040. Pearson also (6) a breakthrough in computer-human links. “By linking (7) to our nervous system, computers could pick up (8) we feel and, hop
20、efully, simulate (9) too so that we can start to (10) full sensory environments, rather like the holidays in Total Recall or the Star Trek holodeck,“ he says. But that, Pearson points (11) , is only the start of man-machine (12) : “It will be the beginning of the long process of integration that wil
21、l (13) lead to a fully electronic human before the end of the next century.“(14) his research, Pearson is able to put dates to most of the breakthroughs that can be predicted. However, there are still no (15) for when faster-than-light travel will be (16) , or when human cloning will be perfected, o
22、r when time travel will be possible. But he does (17) social problems as a result of technological advances. A boom in neighborhood surveillance (监视) cameras will, for example, (18) problems in 2010, while the arrival of synthetic (19) robots will mean people may not be able to (20) between their hu

Very few writers on the subject have e

Rather, we have a certain (7) of the American citizen, a character who is (8) if he cannot competently assess (9) his livelihood and happiness are affected by things (10) of himself.

40、（分数：70.00）A.exhibit B.exaggerateC.examineD.exceed解析：词义辨析题。exhibit 意为“展出，表现，显示”，exaggerate 意为“夸张，扩大”，examine 意为“检查，调查”，exceed 意为“超越，胜过”。原句意为“实际上，人们都会对未来的生活_一定的愿望”。此处所填单词应含有“怀有”或“展示出”之意，故选 A。A.contextsB.circumstances C.inspectionsD.intuitions解析：词义辨析题。context 意为“上下文”，circumstance 意为“环境，情景”，inspection 意
41、为“检查，视察”，intuition 意为“直觉”。由句意(见第 1 题解析)可知，此处应填入一个表示“生活环境”之意的词，所以选 B。A.underestimateB.undermineC.undertake D.undergo解析：词义辨析题。underestimate 意为“低估，看轻”，undermine 意为“破坏”，undertake 意为“承担，担任”，undergo 意为“经历，遭受”。原句意为“大多数人倾向于用因果推理的方式来_这个任务”。undertake a task 为常见搭配，意为“开始进行一项任务”，所以选 C。A.speciallyB.particularlyC.
42、alwaysD.generally 解析：词义辨析题。specially 意为“特别地”，particularly 意为“独特地，显著地”，always 意为“总是，始终”，generally 意为“一般地，通常”。原句意为“首先，我们_认为将来的生活环境是由现在的生活决定的”。选项 C、D 看似均可，但 always 用在这里显得有些武断，所以选 D。A.somehow B.somebodyC.someoneD.something解析：逻辑衔接题。分析空格所在句发现句子结构基本上是完整的，因此可初步推断此处应填入表示方式或程度的副词，故选 A。somehow 意为“不知何故，以某种方式”。A
43、.enactB.affect C.reflectD.inflect解析：词义辨析题。enact 意为“制定法律，颁布”，affect 意为“影响”，reflect 意为“反映”，inflect 意为“弯曲”。原句意为：“我们都知道受教育的程度会影响我们日后能挣多少钱。”A.meetingB.occurrenceC.encounter D.contact解析：词义辨析题。meeting 意为“会议，集会”，occurrence 意为“发生，出现”，encounter 意为“遭遇，遇到”，contact 意为“接触，联系”。原句意为：“在暗礁上游泳更容易遇见鲨鱼。”A.patterns B.des
44、ignsC.arrangementsD.pictures解析：词义辨析题。pattern 意为“式样，模式”，design 意为“设计，图案”，arrangement 意为“排列，安排”，picture 意为“图画，图片”。第一段中提到过人们习惯用因果关系去推断，这是一种思考模式，因此选 A。A.disappointedB.absent C.inadequateD.absolute解析：词义辨析题。disappointed 意为“失望的”，absent 意为“缺少的，不在的”，inadequate 意为“不充分的”，absolute 意为“绝对的”。根据原文中的意思我们应该选一个与 occur
45、 意思相反的词，四个选项中只有 absent 最符合，故选 B。A.createsB.produces C.losesD.protects解析：词义辨析题。create 意为“创造，创作”，produce 意为“产生，得到”，lose 意为“损失，浪费”，protect 意为“保护”。原句意为“学生们知道努力学习在大多数情况下_高的分数”，这里需要填入一个有“产生，得到”之意的词，故选 B。A.obscureB.indistinctC.explicit D.explosive解析：词义辨析题。obscure 意为“朦胧的，模糊的”，indistinct 意为“不清楚的，朦胧的”，explici
46、t 意为“外在的，清楚的”，explosive 意为“爆炸的，爆发的”。原文提到“科学使因果性和可能性的观念变得更加_”，结合常识可知，填入的词应该是“清楚的”。A.forB.atC.inD.with 解析：短语搭配题。deal in 意为“经营”，如：He deals in a small shop(他经营一家小店。)deal with 意为“处理，安排”，如：Science provides techniques to deal with this problem(科学为解决这一难题提供了方法。)结合上下文可知选 D。A.distinguish B.distinctC.distortD.d
47、istract解析：词义辨析题。distinguish 意为“区别，辨别”，distinct 意为“清楚的，明显的”，distort 意为“扭曲，歪曲”，distract 意为“转移”。原文意为“考虑到常人的质疑，我们需要_预言与理解”，这里我们应该填入有“区别，辨别”之意的词；另外，distinguish between 为常用搭配，意为“区别和”，即 tell me difference between.。A.atB.on C.toD.under解析：短语搭配题。on the basis of 是介词的短语搭配，意为“以为基础”。原句意为“即使我们不理解为什么，我们也愿意根据一些被证明了的
48、预测能力去行动”。A.whyB.howC.that D.where解析：语法结构题。drive 在此为名词，意为“动力”。分析句子结构可知，空格后部分是对 drive 进行修饰，因而选关系代词 that 引导定语从句。A.predict B.produceC.pretendD.precede解析：词义辨析题。predict 意为“预言，预知”，produce 意为“生产”，pretend 意为“假装，装扮”，precede 意为“在之前”。原句提到“不论最开始激励人们的动力是什么，使人类获得满足在很大程度上有赖于人们对未来环境的_能力”。因为这里提到是针对未来环境的一种能力，所以应选择“预言”
49、。此外，根据同词复现的原理，我们也能推测本题选 A。A.contentB.contactC.contestD.context 解析：词义辨析题。content 意为“内容，容量”，contact 意为“接触，联系”，contest 意为“争论，竞赛”，context 意为“上下文”。原句意为“推测是在知识和理解力相结合的情况下进行的”，选项中只有 context 才能完整表达原文的意思，所以选 D。in the context of 意为“在情况下”。A.happenB.occur C.occupyD.incur解析：词义辨析题。happen 意为“发生，碰巧”，occur 意为“发生，出现”，occupy 意为“占用，占领”，incur 意为“招致”。原文意为“如果你能理解为什么某种固定的模式会_”，显然，应该填入“出现”。A.at B.onC.toD.beyond解析：短语搭配题。aim at 意为“瞄准，针对”。A.purposesB.ambitionsC.drivesD.goals 解析：词义辨析题。purpose 意为“目的，意图”，ambition 意为“野心，雄心”，drive 意为“推动力，驱
