33、 being appreciated and loved._2_ No.In addition, generally speaking, the inventions in the last 150 years have been a human effort for freedom and communication, and an effort to be able to get in control of the time and the world.Since there is still much to do in this area, this will be the focus

34、at least for the next 150 years.But why do we need to predict the future？Predicting the future is important for two reasons.First we need to start to think about what kind of future wed like for ourselves and to pass on to the next generation._3_How about the virtual worlds？It might be possible in t

38、明文。文章主要说明了如果我们想要更好地预测未来，就必须了解过去。1选D人们怎样才能知晓未来是什么样子的呢？空后介绍在过去150年里，世界发生了很大的改变，但人们的基本需求都没有改变。由此推知，空处应承上启下，此处是回答空前的问题：想要展望未来，就要了解过去，故选择D项。2选A根据空后的回答“No.”可推知，空处应是一个疑问句，且语境承接前一句，故选择A项。A项中的this指代前文所介绍的人类的基本需求在过去150年里基本没有变化的情况。3选G根据该段中的But why do we need to predict the future？Predicting the future is impor

39、tant for two reasons.可知，下文主要介绍人们想要预知未来的两个原因。空前介绍了原因之一，即人们要思考自己所需要并传承给下一代的未来是什么样子，故空处应介绍另一个原因。G项中的Then we need to与空前一句中的First we need to相呼应。4选F根据本段第一句How about the virtual worlds？可知，该段主要讲述虚拟世界的话题。空前描述了虚拟世界的体验情况，但空后点明虚拟体验永远不会取代真实的体验，故空处应选择F项。F项在逻辑上衔接上下文，与上文语意转折，同时与下文构成因果关系。5选B空后介绍了对未来50年的展望：从一个旧社会过渡到一个新社会；将会有新药物、对太空的持续探索、气候变化的挑战以及让生活变得更轻松的新发明。故B项符合语境。
