8、ore, ago均表示过去,ing修饰名词时应置于其前。故选B项。2A.made BproducedCcreated Dcontributed解析:选Amake predictions“做出预言”。produce“生产(产品)”;create“创造(前所未有的东西)”;contribute“贡献,捐献”。根据题意可知,B、C、D三项均不符。3A.what BhowCwhich Dthat解析:选B在该书中,弗莱德曼向世人展示了在未来一个世纪世界将如何变化。下文就世界变化的趋势做了分析,因此how符合题意。4A.changed BdoneCdiscussed Dfinished解析:选C现在世人
9、讨论的主要问题是如何养活不断增长的人口。5A.concern BfactCproblem Dchallenge解析:选D弗莱德曼认为这种关注将被人口出生率下降的挑战所取代。concern与about搭配,fact与problem不足以描述问题的严重性。6A.situation BworldCprediction Dpopulation解析:选D由上文的a growing population可知,本段在讨论人口问题,这里说的是很大一部分人口的老龄化同样是未来百年人类面临的挑战。7A.turns to Bkeeps toCes to Dlinks to解析:选C有关气候变化问题。e to“涉及,
10、论及”;turn to“转向”;keep to“遵守”;link to“联系”均与题意无关,予以排除。8A.sun BearthCmoon Dspace解析:选B本段介绍了如何利用太阳能的情况。唯一的问题是将阳光反射到地球上。也就是说在地面上接收太阳能,因此A、C、D三项错误。9A.other BanotherCthe other Dthe second解析:选C前文称有两种方法,一种是用光缆,另一种是通过微波辐射。the other“两者中的另一个”。10A.predictions BproblemsCsituations Dchallenges解析:选A本文与百年预言有关,前面讲了有关人口
11、、气候的预言,这里讲关于政治的预言。11A.Poland BMexicoCTurkey Dthe United States解析:选B由常识可知,墨西哥和美国属于北美国家。再根据下一段美国和墨西哥的争端可知,弗莱德曼预测了墨西哥将称雄北美洲的可能。12A.generally BnormallyCproperly Deventually解析:选D墨西哥对美国的霸权的憎恨最终会变得更强烈。13A.in case Beven thoughCas though Das if解析:选B从逻辑关系来看,墨西哥对美国霸权的憎恨与两国间牢固的贸易关系形成了对比,因此用表示转折关系的连词even though“
12、尽管”。in case“以防”,as though和as if都是“好像”的意思,这三项与题意无关。14A.it BthereCthat Done解析:选B弗莱德曼称未来有可能发生世界大战。这是一个there be句型,因此B项正确。A、C、D项都不表示存在。15A.time BspaceCthe space Dthe harbor解析:选B这场战争将动用空间武器。根据后面的“platforms from bases on the moon”可以判断,这将是一场空间大战。16A.war BfightCbattle Dattack解析:选D在某种意义上很像星球大战版的1941年日本偷袭美国珍珠港
13、军舰。根据前一句的attack暗示,应选D项。17A./ BthatCwhether Dif解析:选B这里是admit的两个宾语从句。第二个宾语从句的连词不可省略。admit后接的句子没有疑问或否定意义,因此不用whether或if。18A.business BaffairsCmatters Devents解析:选D本文是对未来世纪大事件的预测。而business“商务”,affairs“政务”,matters“琐事”均不符合题意。故选D项。19A.about BonCto Dfor解析:选Bfinal judgment on“对做出最终判决”。但他说对他的预言能够做出最终评判的只能是那些一百
14、年之后还活着的人了。20A.live BaliveCavailable Ddead解析:选B只有活着的人才可以对弗莱德曼的预言做出评判,因此B项正确。.阅读理解Robert Munsch is an American born Canadian author of childrens books.
