考查名词辨析。suggestions建议;advantages优势;agreements协议;achievements成就。but表转折关系连词,根据but I still like traditional books“但是我仍然喜欢传统书籍”,可知,电子书虽然比传统书籍有许多的优势,但我还是喜欢传统书籍,所以空格处填advantages。故选B。
【题目】Choose the best answer(根据短文内容,选择最恰当的答案)
What will man be like in the future — in 5,000 or even 50,000 years from now? We can only make a guess, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today, for man is slowly changing all the time. Now look at the chart below, and you’ll find some differences.
Body part | Changes | Reasons |
Height | Grow taller | About 3 inches taller than 500 years ago |
Head | Larger | Man uses brains more and more |
Eyes | Grow stronger | |
Arms and legs | Grow weaker | Used less |
Fingers | Grow more sensitive | Used a great deal in modern life |
Hair | Disappear | Does not serve a useful purpose any longer |
Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature(生物) to look at! This may well be true. All the same, in spite of all these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with us. He will still be human being, with thoughts and emotions(情感) similar to our owns.
