B.C.D.解析：词义辨析题。exhibit 意为“展出，表

27、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。(2).A. contexts B. circumstancesC. inspections D. intuitions（分数：3.50）A.B. C.D.解析：词义辨析题。context 意为“上下文”，circumstance 意为“环境，情景”，inspection 意为“检查，视察”，intuition 意为“直觉”。由句意(见第 1 题解析)可知，此处应填

28、入一个表示“生活环境”之意的词，所以选 B。(3).A. underestimateB. undermine C. undertake D. undergo（分数：3.50）A.B.C. D.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。(4).A. specially B. particularly C. always D.

29、generally（分数：3.50）A.B.C.D. 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。(5).A. somehow B. somebody C. someone D. something（分数：3.50）A. B.C.D.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

B.C.D.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。(9).A. disappointedB. absent C. i

32、nadequate D. absolute（分数：3.50）A.B. C.D.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 意思相反的词，四个选项中只有 absent 最符合，故选 B。(10).A. creates B. produces C. loses D. protects（分数：3.50）A.B. C.D.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，

33、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。(11).A. obscure B. indistinct C. explicit D. explosive（分数：3.50）A.B.C. D.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”，explicit 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”。(12).A. for B.

34、 at C. in D. with（分数：3.50）A.B.C.D. 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。(13).A. distinguish B. distinct C. distort D. distract（分数：3.50）A. B.C.D.解析：词义辨析题。distinguish 意为“区别，辨别”

35、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.。(14).A. at B. on C. to D. under（分数：3.50）A.B. C.D.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预测能力去行动”

36、15).A. why B. how C. that D. where（分数：3.50）A.B.C. D.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。(16).A. predict B. produce C. pretend D. precede（分数：3.50）A. B.C.D.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

37、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”。此外，根据同词复现的原理，我们也能推测本题选 A。(17).A. content B. contact C. contest D. context（分数：3.50）A.B.C.D. 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

38、在情况下”。(18).A. happen B. occur C. occupy D. incur（分数：3.50）A.B. C.D.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”。(19).A. at B. on C. to D. beyond（分数：3.50）A. B.C.D.解析：短语搭配题。aim at 意为“瞄准，针对”。(20).A. purposes B. ambitions C. drives D. goals

40、ation poor. And that (1) does exist today. My wife and I lectured about this looming danger twenty years ago.

43、 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) advantage of this tool, some poor countries will have to get over their outdated anti-colonial prejudices (16) respect to foreign investment. Countries

44、 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 society) in the United States.

46、行为，故选 B。(2).A. away B. for C. aside D. behind（分数：3.50）A.B.C.D. 解析：短语搭配题。leave behind 意为“留下，超过”。(3).A. netted B. worked C. put D. organized（分数：3.50）A. B.C.D.解析：词义辨析题。前一句说现在很多国家唯恐落伍，开始拓展网络通路，紧接着这一句，作者说在接下来的十年到二十年里，全球十到二十亿人将会_在一起。结合选项可知 B“工作”、C“放置”、D“组织”都不合适，只有 net 才可以表示“网络把人们联系在了一起”，与原文意思相符。(4).A. dec

47、rease B. narrow C. neglect D. low（分数：3.50）A.B. C.D.解析：词义辨析及逻辑衔接题。decrease 意为“减少”，narrow 意为“变窄，使缩小”，neglect 意为“忽视，疏忽”，low 意为“降低”。空格所在句意为“因此，我现在认为数字鸿沟是在_而不是在拓宽”，因而应选用与 rather than 之后的 widen 意思相反的词，故选 B。(5).A. containing B. preventing C. keeping D. combating（分数：3.50）A.B.C.D. 解析：词义辨析题。contain 意为“包含，容纳”，

48、prevent 意为“防止，阻止”，keep 意为“保留，保持”，combat 意为“战斗，搏斗”。原文意为“这是个很好的消息，因为网络可能成为与世界贫困_最强有力的工具”，故应选 D。(6).A. win B. detail C. defeat D. fear（分数：3.50）A.B.C. D.解析：词义辨析题。win 意为“赢得”，其后接赢得的内容，如成功、胜利、好感或支持等；detail 意为“详述，细说”；defeat 意为“击败，战胜”；fear 意为“畏惧”。由上一句句意(见第 12 题解析)可知，此处也是指“战胜贫穷”的意思，所以 C 项最符合。(7).A. enormous B

49、 countless C. numerical D. big（分数：3.50）A. B.C.D.解析：词义辨析题。enormous 意为“巨大的，庞大的”，countless 意为“无数的，数不尽的”，numerical 意为“数字的，用数表示的”，big 意为“大的”。句意为“网络有着巨大的潜力”。potential 作为名词时为不可数，所以选项 B 不对。big 在表示“大”时，常指在尺寸、数字、质量、广度或范围上相当大的，所以选项 D 也不对。因此，既符合文意又符合语法规则的为选项 A。(8).A. bring B. keep C. hold D. take（分数：3.50）A.B.C.D. 解析：短语搭配题。take advantage of 为固定搭配，意为“利用”。(9).A. at B. with C. of D. for（分数：3.50）A.B. C.D.解析：短语搭配题。with respect to 为固定搭配，意为“关于，至于”。其中 with 也可以换成 in，表达同样的意思：in respect to/of
