分析 短文大意：
   2020年我们的生活会是什么样子？或许谁也不知道．因为我们从不知道将来要发生什么事，但是做一些预测是非常有趣的．这里就有一些令人兴奋的预测．
   语言
  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做第二语言来学习．
   水
   由于许多河流将消失，水和石油可能会一样贵．我们必须节约用水，尤其注重节约洁净水．
   教育和科学
  学生们不用去学校里上学．他们将呆在家里在网上学习．来自世界各地的学生会在因特网上一起学习．我们将要吃更多的转基因食品，我们周围将会有更多的机器人．许多危险的家务活会让机器人去做．
   起居
  人们有可能会在海里生活和工作．在海下面可能会出现大的城镇、工厂和农场．每个人都会随身携带一个袖珍电脑．这个电脑会给人们回答所有问题的答案．每个人也会随身携带这手机，他们能够和全世界的朋友用电话进行交谈．

解答 71：as，on．推理判断题．根据English should still be the most popular language，but Chinese should be the second．Now，many foreign people are studying Chinese    A   their second language．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做第二语言来学习．故填as意思是：作为．根据They will stay at home and study online．Students from all over the world may study together    B   the Internet．可知，来自世界各地的学生会在因特网上一起学习．故填on意思是：在…上．
72：许多河流将消失，水和石油会一样贵．细节理解题．根据We will have  to save water and pay more for clean water．可知，我们将不得不节约水、更关注清洁的水．因为：许多河流都消失了，水和石油一样贵．故答案为：许多河流将消失，水和石油会一样贵．
73：danger改成dangerous．细节理解题．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．故答案为danger改成dangerous．
74：The computer will give people the answers to all their problems．或：The computer will give people all the answers to their problems．推理判断题．根据③computer，the，answers，will，all，the，to，their，people，problems，give．可知，每个人带着一个袖珍电脑，这个电脑会给人们回答所有问题的答案．故答案为The computer will give people the answers to all their problems．或：The computer will give people all the answers to their problems．
75：C．主旨大意题．根据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．故选C．the life in the future．
