【答案】

【1】F

【2】as

【3】许多河流将消失，水和石油会一样贵。

【解析】

试题2020年我们的生活会怎样？谁也不知道。 但是我们可以在这些方面预测一下。1.未来人们用什么语言？很可能是英语和汉语；2.干净的淡水会很贵；3.学生们会在家里和全世界的学生一起通过因特网学习；机器人会做很多家务；4.人们有可能会生活和工作在海里。电脑和手机会随身带。

【1】根据第一段和下文的小标题可知，本文主要对未来世界“语言、水、教育与科学”等方面的预言。所以 “本文主要谈论了教育与科学” 是不符合文意的。所以答案为：F。

【2】根据小标题Languages 中 English should still be the most popular language, but Chinese should be the second.可知，未来英语应该是最普及的语言，其次应该是汉语。因为现在许多外国人在把汉语当作第二语言来学习。as介词，意思是“作为”。所以答案为：as。

【3】water名词，水；become动词，变得；as expensive as oil 和油一样贵；because因为，引导原因状语从句；many rivers许多河流；will disappear将会消失。所以答案为：许多河流将消失，水和石油会一样贵。

【4】根据②Lots of danger housework will be done by them.（许多危险的家务活会让机器人做。）可知，housework是名词，前面应该用形容词修饰。所以把名词danger改成形容词dangerous。

【5】根据第一句“What will our world be like in 2020?”和全文的预测可知，本文主要讨论的是未来的生活。所以the life in the future符合文意。所以答案为：The life in the future。
