【解析】
试题分析:本文主要讲述了人们对未来城市生活情况的猜测。
【1】is;考查be动词。根据making predictions is a risky business做预测是一项冒险的事情,句子中缺乏谓语动词,故为be。
【2】recycled;本句的含义为我们将使用许多循环的材料,本题表示过去,故本句空格处填循环的过去式recycled。
【3】natural;考查形容词。根据后文的名词and we will waste fewer natural resources我们浪费的自然资源会越来于少。
【4】on;本句的含义为我们将更多的依靠非传统的能源,rely on表示依靠的含义,故本句空格处填on。
【5】a;考查定冠词。由于后面所接名词为university,故用a。
【6】how;根据句意,一位老师问他的学生他们在2025年会如何管理拥有50000人口的城市。可见句中不缺乏成分,故为how.
【7】preventing;考查非谓语动词。由于前文中有谓语动词,且prevent environmental problems 阻止环境问题为主动形式。
【8】it;考查固定搭配,it is possible to do sth.做某事是有可能的。
【9】having;考查with短语的复合结构。根据句意:每个城市有它自己的远程诊所。可知为主动形式。
【10】attached;考查过去分词。根据句意,人们头上戴着高科技相机,便可以去世界任何地方,可知camera与attach是被动关系,故用过去分词。
【题目】根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选页中有两项为多余选项。Roger Sperry and Robert Ornstein of the California Institute of Technology, Nobel prize winners, discovered that the human brain has two sides, and each side has different work to do.The left side of the brain controls language and number and it analyses and reasons.【1】It controls our appreciation of music and our sense of rhythm. It is also the right side of our brain which daydreams.Leonardo da Vinci was the great painter and sculptor. He was also an architect, a scientist and an inventor!【2】When he invented machines he used both his imaginative ability and his analytical ability.【3】Albert Einstein enjoyed art, playing the violin and sailing. Indeed, Einstein said his scientific discoveries grew from his imagination rather than from analysis, reason and language. He said that written and spoken words were not important in his thinking. The story goes that Einstein was daydreaming one summer's day while sitting on a hill. He imagined that he was riding on sunbeams to the far distance of the universe. Then he found that he had returned to the sun. So he realized that the universe must curve(弯曲).【4】He then used the left side of his brain to apply analysis, number and reason. And finally he used language to explain it.Traditional education in schools encourages us to use the left side of our brains. Language, number, analysis and reason are given more importance in our schools than imagination and daydreaming. Why don' t we give more value to visual thinking? Why jump on one foot if we have two perfectly good legs !【5】We need to use our imagination to think of solutions to problems and to enjoy emotional and artistic experiences. And we need to be logical able to analyze and organize in order to survive day by day.

B. We all need both sides of our brain. |
C. He got this idea by using his imagination. |
D. Great scientists and great artists are similar. |
E. He was considered crazy for his strange ideas. |
