One survey, which asked for Britains greatest invention, named the bicycle, which received twice as many votes as the World Wide Web. Thats the past

14、, but what about the future? What inventions _1_ (shape) our lives? J.B.S. Haldane, a British scientist and not one of lifes optimists, once made his prediction for the future. He said that _2_ hadnt happened would happen and no one would be safe from it. Whether you agree or not, one thing is _3_ d

15、oubt: human beings need to invent a few things pretty quickly. Here is our own list:Number one is a new source of power. Oil is running out. A teenager, in a recent letter to a newspaper, wrote that it would take over a hundred years _4_ (produce) fresh oil. He was wrong by a few million years. Once

16、 our oil is gone, its gone forever. We have about fifty years worth left, and even less _5_ rates of industrialisation speed up. At a recent conference about the worlds future, scientist Hilary Craft said we had already found the answer: solar power. She said we could expect enormous mirrors in the

17、sky _6_ would reflect sunlight and provide the worlds electricity.Number two on our list is a waste processor. Throughout most of history, the rubbish _7_ (throw) out the back door. If the jungle didnt swallow it, wild animals would get it. Once the jungles disappeared, we started burying our waste

18、underground or dumping it into the sea. Now were running out of space. If we want to avoid _8_ (destroy) the Earth, wed better find a way to recycle more effectively. An inventor, Clara Petrovic, said she was working on equipment that would have waste _9_ (turn) into bricks and other building materi

19、al.Finally, medicine. In the past, a cold killed you. Now we are examining peoples genes for signs of future illness. _10_ (find) the disease early enough and you can prevent it.

Find【解析】【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了未来的几种发明。【1题详解】考查时态。句意：什么发明会改变我们的生活？句子描述的是将来的事，应用一般将来时，故填will shape。【2题详解】考查主语从句。句意：他说没发生的任何事情都可能会发生，没有人会安全。分析句子结构可知，“_hadnt happened”是主

21、语从句，且从句中缺少主语，表示“无论什么”应用whatever来引导主语从句，需要注意的是，no matter what虽也意为“无论什么”，但是不能引导主语从句，所以此处只能用whatever，故填whatever。【3题详解】考查介词。句意：不管你同不同意，有一点是毫无疑问的：人类需要快速地发明一些东西。without/beyond doubt是固定搭配，意为“毫无疑问”，故填without或beyond。【4题详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：一个少年，在最近写给一家报纸的信中写道，生产新鲜的石油需要一百多年。It takes/took+时间+to do是固定句型，意为“做某事花费多长时间”，

22、故填to produce。【5题详解】考查连词。句意：我们还有大约50年的时间，如果工业化速度加快，时间就更短了。分析句子结构可知，“rates of industrialization speed up”是条件状语从句，所以应用if来引导，故填if。【6题详解】考查定语从句。句意：她说我们可以期待天空中有巨大的反射阳光的镜子，它们能为世界提供电力。“_would reflect sunlight and provide the worlds electricity.”是限定性定语从句，先行词为mirrors(镜子)，指物，且定语从句中缺少主语，应用关系代词that或which来引导，故填th

23、at或which。【7题详解】考查时态和语态。句意：在历史的大部分时间里，垃圾都是从后门被扔出去的。空处是谓语，且句子描述的是过去的事，应用一般过去时，主语the rubbish(垃圾)和动词throw(扔)二者之间是被动关系，所以此处应用一般过去时的被动，且主语是不可数名词，故填was thrown。【8题详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：如果我们想避免破坏地球，我们最好找到一种更有效的回收方法。avoid doing是固定搭配，表示“避免做”，故填destroying。【9题详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：一位名叫Clara Petrovic的发明家说，她正在研究一种设备，这种设备可以将废物转化为砖

24、块和其他建筑材料。have sth. done是固定搭配，意为“使某事被做”，此处turn(转变)和waste(废物)二者之间是被动关系，所以应用turn的过去分词形式做宾语补足语，故填turned。【10题详解】考查祈使句。句意：及早发现疾病，你就能预防它。该句子是“祈使句+and+陈述句”的结构，所以此处应用动词原形，单词位于句首，首字母大写，故填Find。Section B选词填空A convincing B. correct C. discouraging D. encouraging E. festive F. increaseG. instead H. knowledge I. m

25、isperceptions J. otherwise K. untrueChanging Someones Mind at the Dinner TableFamily gatherings can bring up topics we prefer to avoid. With the _11_ season in full swing it might be hard to stay away from some annoying relatives. At some point, you know they will say something like: “Genetically mo

26、dified foods are not safe to eat” or “Climate change is a conspiracy (阴谋)”. (Again, all these statements are_12_.)If this happens, you dont have to just sit there quiet. “Is it worth making an effort to _13_ people?” says Jason Reifler at the University of Exete, who studies ways of challenging _14_

27、. “I think so.”Obviously, it is far more difficult to prove false beliefs wrong than to spread them. Anyone can spread a lie, but it usually takes a bit of time and _15_ to explain why a statement is wrong.Take a classic: “The climate has always changed, its nothing to do with humans.” To fight this

28、, you need to explain how the world is now warming at an alarming rate, when _16_ it would be cooling slightly were it not for our carbon dioxide emissions.But sometimes there are shortcuts to make your point _17_. “Parallel” arguments can often highlight logical errors very effectively, says John C

29、ook of George Mason University. For instance, the “climate is always changing” myth is like claiming that because people have always stolen from each other, leaving your house unlocked wont _18_ the risk of burglary (入室抢劫).But you need to be aware of the backfire effect. This is the idea that trying

30、 to change someones false belief can make them believe it more strongly. This was _19_ news for the fight against false beliefs. “The last thing you want to do when debunking (驳斥) misinformation is make matters worse,” wrote Cook and Stephan Lewandowsky at the University of Bristol, in The Debunking

31、 Handbook, a short guide published in 2011. However, more recent studies are far more _20_. “Its not as common as we initially thought,” says Lewandowsky.【答案】11. E 12. K 13. B 14. I 15. H 16. J 17. A 18. F 19. C 20. D【解析】【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了我们应不应该对别人的错误观点进行纠正。【11题详解】考查形容词。句意：随着节日的到来，要远离一些烦人的亲戚，这可能会很难

32、。由上文“Family gatherings(家庭聚会)”和下文“season”可知，此处表示“节日的”，用形容词作定语修饰名词season(季节)，festive意为“节日的”，故选E。【12题详解】考查形容词。句意： 在某种程度上，你知道他们会说：“转基因食品不安全”或“气候变化是一个阴谋”。（再说一遍，这些陈述都是不真实的。）由上文“Genetically modified foods are not safe to eat” or “Climate change is a conspiracy (阴谋)”.”可知，“转基因食品不安全”或“气候变化是一个阴谋”等这些陈述都是不真实的，所以

33、此处应用形容词untrue做表语，意为“不真实的”，故选K。【13题详解】考查动词原形。句意：Exete大学的Jason Reifler说，“值得去纠正别人吗？”，Jason Reifler研究了挑战误解观念的一些方法。由上文“If this happens, you dont have to just sit there quiet.(如果发生这种事，你不能只是坐在那里。)”可知，当别人所说的观点是错误的，你应该纠正，由此可知，此处表示“纠正”，应用动词correct，且由前面的不定式to可知，此处应用动词原形，故选B。【14题详解】考查名词。句意：Exete大学的Jason Reifler

34、说“值得去纠正别人吗？”，Jason Reifler研究了挑战误解的一些方法。由上文“who studies ways of challenging”和下文“misinformation(错误信息)”可知，Jason Reifler研究了挑战误解观念的一些方法，所以此处应用名词misperceptions(误解)做宾语，故选I。【15题详解】考查名词。句意：任何人都可以散布谎言，但是要解释为什么一个陈述是错误的，通常需要一点时间和知识。由上下文“but it usually takes a bit of time and_5_to explain why a statement is wron

35、g.”可知，要解释为什么一个陈述是错误的，是需要时间和知识的，knowledge意为“知识”，为不可数名词，故选H。【16题详解】考查副词。句意：为了对抗这个问题，你需要解释，为什么世界正在以惊人的速度变暖，否则，如果不是因为我们的二氧化碳排放，世界会稍微变冷。此处应用副词作状语，表示“否则”，应用otherwise，故选J。【17题详解】考查形容词。句意：但有时候有些捷径可以让你的观点更有说服力。由上文“there are shortcuts to make your point”和下文“Parallel” arguments can often highlight logical erro

36、rs very effectively, says John Cook of George Mason University. (乔治梅森大学的约翰库克表示，“平行”论点通常能够非常有效地突出逻辑错误。)”可知，一些方法能让你的观点更加有说服力，所以此处应用形容词convincing做宾语补足语，意为“有说服力的”，故选A。【18题详解】考查动词原形。句意：例如，“气候总是在变化”的错误观点就像是在说，因为人们总是互相偷东西，所以你不锁门是不会增加被盗的风险。由下文“the risk of burglary”可知，此处表示“增加被盗的风险”，应用动词increase (增加)，由前面的wont

37、可知，此处用动词原形，故选F。【19题详解】考查形容词。句意：这是一个打击错误信念的令人沮丧的消息。由下文“for the fight against false beliefs”可知，当你改变别人的错误观点时，你在打击他的错误观念，这是令人沮丧的，由此可知，此处应用形容词discouraging做定语，修饰名词news，意为“令人沮丧的”，故选C。【20题详解】考查形容词。句意：然而，最近的更多研究是很鼓舞人心的。由However (然而)可知，上下文是转折关系，上文提到纠正别人的错误观念会让事情变糟糕，而下文提到纠正别人的错误观念会让事情变糟糕也不是那么普遍，由此可知，最近的研究是鼓舞人心

38、的，所以设空处表示“令人鼓舞的”，应用形容词encouraging作表语，故选D。III. Reading ComprehensionSection AIt is early days for the idea that toys shaped humanity, but Felix Riede, at Aarhus University in Denmark, and his colleagues recently published a paper outlining some interesting case studies. _21_, examining the records of

39、 communities living in Greenland from around 4500 years ago, they found that the early colonisers _22_ toys and also showed little innovation in their material culture, but the Thule, who migrated into Greenland around 800 years ago, had many tiny objects that appear to have been designed specifical

40、ly for childs _23_, including toy weapons and dolls. Their appearance seemed to coincide with an explosion of new adult technologies, such as advanced designs for boats and elaborate clothes. The records arent _24_ enough to determine which emerged first, the toys or the advanced technology, but Rie

41、de thinks the two may have grown together, with the richer material culture inspiring new play objects, which _25_ equipped the young minds for further innovation.The team also points to sites in Western Cape, South Africa, dating back 60,000 to 80,000 years ago. Analyses of rocks show that children

42、 were imitating the adults stone striking, producing _26_ useless copies of real tools. This “play-copying” again seems to coincide with new technologies, including the first arrowheads, suggesting that the childhood games might have _27_ greater cultural innovation.It is the invention of the wheel,

43、 however, that offers the most persuasive _28_ for Riedes idea. The oldest evidence of wheeled vehicles suggests that the technology _29_ around 5500 years ago, across western Eurasia in the northern Caucasus, Mesopotamia and central and northern Europe. But some two centuries beforehand, we _30_ sm

44、all models of animals with holes drilled through their feet for an axle (车轴), and ceramic (陶瓷) discs that served as wheels. But given their _31_ and the fact that small animals are playthings in many modern cultures, Riede believes that they were toys. “You could easily call them quite cute,” he say

45、s.If so, like any kid with a train set today, children playing with those toys would have been exploring the _32_ of spinning motion. They might have used their toys to carry various objects, and practised different ways of driving them from the front or the back, or letting them roll down a slope.

46、They might even have _33_ wheels of different sizes, or made from different materials to see different results. As the children grew up, those same _34_ would have helped them make the cognitive leap necessary to imagine a wagon, but a society that lacked those toys would have _35_ to think of a wor
