【解析】本文讲述了作者阅读了 George Orwell在1940年所著的小说 《1984》后所引发的自己对未来84年后生活的畅想。
【1】考查过去分词作定语的用法。设空处作后置定语,因为write与novel之间是逻辑上的动宾关系,表示被动,而且write所表示的动作已完成,故填written。
【2】考查名词。设空处作宾语,且其前有a few限定,应用名词复数形式,故填predictions。
【3】考查关系代词。设空处引导非限制性定语从句补充说明主句内容,“我们与其他星球上生命的联系会改变我们”。且在从句中作主语,故填which。
【4】考查形容词作定语的用法。设空处作定语修饰outcomes,表示“不同的”,应该用形容词。故填different。
【5】考查介词。新科技对人类社会有很大的影响。have a(n)... influence on/upon...意为“对……有……的影响”。
【6】考查固定结构。Simply speaking意为“简单来说”。
【7】考查不定式作宾语补足语的用法。我们会面临很多挑战需要我们去抉择。force sb. to do...意为“迫使某人做……”。
【8】考查连词。是改变我们的生活方式还是死亡。由whether可知,change the way we live与die之间是选择关系,故填or。
【9】考查形容词比较级。设空处作定语修饰world,因设空处前有much修饰,应用比较级形式,故填better。设空处所在句句意:我们必须利用科技来促成一个更好的世界。
【10】考查副词。如若我们不能成功解决我们的问题。设空处作状语修饰动词solve,故填successfully。
