参考范文:
Paragraph 1:
My heart beating rapidly,I headed for the register.I paid the
dollar for the three items and was about to leave when I felt a heavy
tap on my shoulder.It was a big detective."You stole something.
You will be searched,he announced.Horrified,I slid the book out
from inside the shirt and handed it over."An encyclopedia?"he
asked,somewhat surprised..“Yes,”I whispered,trembling.“Why
didn't you ask your parents to purchase it?""I did,but they didn't
have the money.With a sigh,he made me promise to tell my
parents about my wrongdoing and then let me leave.
Paragraph 2:
Back home,I told my mother what I had promised the
detective.Unexpectedly,she didn't explode as usual.She fell silent,
looking extremely anxious.Consumed with guilt,I gathered my
courage,apologized and promised that it would never ever happen
again.“All will be)K!”said my mother,wrapping me in her arms.
Then she told me that she would go to the A&.P to tell the detective
I had admitted and that I should play outside.Hours later,when I
was back home,I noticed a bag with my name on it.I opened it and
packed inside was the World Book Encyclopedia,Volume I.

用更多的机器人来取代全职工人。零工经济时代很快就会到来。

驾驶技术,会大大地减少雇用司机的工资支出,公司的运营成本
会越来越低。故B项正确。]

全职工作的优势。故B项正确。]
4.A「推理判断题。根据文章最后一段可知作者认为关闭对外贸
易并不能让工作机会回归,只会减缓全球经济发展并损害美国的

一美国作家艾萨克·阿西莫夫及其他的预测。
1.C[上文提到“美国作家艾萨克·阿西莫夫是他那个时代最伟大
的科幻作家之一,他有这样一种天赋”;下文提到“让我们看看他
预测对了什么”。由此可知,空格处在本段中起承上启下的作用。
故C远项“早在1983年,他就被要求预测2019年的世界会是什
么样子”符合语境。]
2.D[根据“Asimov thought computers would cause a revolution
comparable to the industrial revolution of the 19th century."
知,阿西莫夫认为计算机将引发一场与19世纪工业革命相当的
革命。D项“关于计算机在未来将所扮演的角色,他惊人准确地
预测到了”是说明他预测的计算机的结果,与本段内容符合。]
3.G
[根据“He also had a great deal to say about space
exploration,”可知,关于太空探索,他也预测了。所以空格处要接
着说他预测的结果。故G远项“国际空间站证明了他的预言,我
们不仅要拜访太空,还要设法留在那里”与太空探索相关,且是预
测结果。]
4.A[根据“He read the newspapers and magazines sold in his
parents'candy store.”可知,他读了父母糖果店出售的报纸和杂
志。所以空格处要与下一句一起来说明阿西莫夫是如何培养他
对未来发展的特殊意识的。故A远项“作为一个聪明的男孩,阿
西莫夫在五岁时就开始自学进行阅读”承上启下。
5.F[阅读本段可知,本段主要在说作为一名作家,他的书以科技
引起的社会变革为主题,故远F项。]
