【解析】

本文為說明文。最新報告表明，假如經(jīng)濟(jì)不考慮環(huán)境因素而接著快速增長，世界將在二十一

世紀(jì)面臨生態(tài)和經(jīng)濟(jì)崩潰，世界很可能會走向災(zāi)難，為此付出昂揚的代價。假如我們不加限

制，那么那時的氣溫會比今日高出很多，海平面會相當(dāng)高，極端天氣比以往任何時候都更常

見、更具破壞性。

[21題詳解】

考查表語從句。句意：但這是已經(jīng)發(fā)生的事情。分析句子Yetthatisessentially___1___

hashappened.可知，表語從句中缺少主語，依據(jù)上下文的語境可知，要用what。故填what。

【22題詳解】

考查固定搭配。may/mightwelldo…為固定搭配,意為“很有可能"。主要用于加強推想的

語氣，表示具有較大的可能性。本處是指“世界很可能會走向災(zāi)難”。故填may/might。

【23題詳解】

考查謂語動詞的時態(tài)。依據(jù)卜文的“Infact,thereportarguedthat…waschosen…”可

知，本句是用一般過去時。此處是指“很多人錯誤地將'限制增長'說明為對不受限制的經(jīng)

濟(jì)擴張的攻擊”。故填interpreted0

[24題詳解】

考查語境及連接詞。事實上，報告認(rèn)為，假如選擇無限增長的路徑，就須要協(xié)助性政簧(包

括資金)去愛護(hù)地球布限的生命支持系統(tǒng)。分析語境可知，此處是一個假設(shè)，因此要用if。

【25題詳解】

考查固定搭配。句意：假如選擇無限增長路徑，就須要協(xié)助性政策(包括資金)去愛護(hù)地球

有限的生命維持系統(tǒng)。require…t。do…，為固定搭配，意為“須要…..去做…”，因此本

空要用動詞不定式，故填topreserveo

【26題詳解】

考查語境。依據(jù)下一句"Instead,theworldhascontinuedtopursuefastgrowthn可

此，此處是指“這個論點始終被忽視”，因此要用現(xiàn)在完成時。主語Thisargument與謂語

動詞ignore二者是被動關(guān)系，是指論點被忽視，要用現(xiàn)在完成時的被動語態(tài)，故填hasbeen

ignoredo

【27題詳解】

考杳語境及連詞。句意：這使我們在削減貧困、延長壽命和增加財寶方面取得了巨大進(jìn)展。

但它對社會的形成和地球的紀(jì)原付出了昂揚的代價。分析前后兩句可知，兩句的內(nèi)容是轉(zhuǎn)折

的，故填But。

【28題詳解】

考查非謂語作定語。句意：人類活動，特殊是經(jīng)濟(jì)活動，已經(jīng)成為影響地球氣候和環(huán)境的主

要因素。分析句子whumanactivity—inparticular,economicactivity—hasbeenthe

dominantfactor_8(influence)Earth*sclimateandenvironmentw可知，本空在

句中作定語，修飾表語factor,而factor與動詞influence二者是主動關(guān)系，故要填

influcncingo

【29題詳解】

考查定語從句。句意：我們可能會不行逆轉(zhuǎn)地走在通往“溫室地球”的道路上一一那兒的溫

度比今日高很多。分析句子可知，本句是定語從句。其中的situation是先行詞，在定語從

句中作地點狀語，因此要填關(guān)系副詞where。

【30題詳解】

考查比較級。句意：極端天氣比以往任何時候都更常見、更具破壞性。依據(jù)最終一句"andmore

destructive—thanever.M可知，此處是用比較級，因此填morecommon/commoner,

37.D38.K

39.C40.I

【解析】

本文為說明文。主要敘述了一個革命性的技術(shù)：用思想又限制機器。肩膀以下癱瘓了的科切

瓦先生，在他右臂植入了電極后，他可以用思想的力氣限制他的手臂。這聽起來像不像是科

幻小說？但這是事實！30多萬人通過植入耳蝸來助聽，通過刺激視覺區(qū)域來幫助盲人，在中

風(fēng)患者身卜.建立新的神經(jīng)連接等，這種革命性的技術(shù),讓人們可以用思想來與他人溝通,也

可以與機器溝通。

[31題詳解】

考查形容詞作定語。分析句子This___1___progressispartlythankstoelectrodes,

implantedinhisrighterm,可知，本空格在句中作定語，修飾名詞progress,修飾名詞要

用形容詞。依據(jù)上下文的語境可知，科切瓦先生在事故后肩膀以下癱瘓了，但他還是月自己

的手來養(yǎng)活自己.但真正的魔力是科切瓦先生可以用思想的力氣限制他的手臂。由此可知，

這是個“顯著的/非凡的”進(jìn)步。分析選項可知remarkable符合題意，故選J。

【32題詳解】

考查語境及名詞。句意：他的運動意圖反映在他運動區(qū)域的神經(jīng)活動中。依據(jù)上文內(nèi)容可知,

科切瓦先生可以用思想的力氣限制他的手臂。所以此處是指“他的運動意圖反映（reflect）

在神經(jīng)活動中”。因此要用reflects,故選F。

【33題詳解】

考查被動語態(tài)。句意：這些信號通過他的大腦植入物被檢測出來，并被處理成指令，激活他

手臂上的電極。分析句子“thesesignalsarcdetectedbyimplantsinhisbrainand

_3___intocommandstoactivatetheelectrodesinhisarms.n可知,本空格是指信

號被處理，分析選項可知process有“數(shù)據(jù)處理，加工”之意，本空與前面的主語these

signals是被動關(guān)系，要填processed,故選A。

【34題詳解】

考查語境及固定用法。依據(jù)語境可知，此處是指有30多萬人植入了耳蝸，通過將聲音轉(zhuǎn)換成

信號并發(fā)送到大腦來助聽?！鞍选D(zhuǎn)換為……”為固定搭配transform-into-w；by

doingsth.為固定用法,意為“憑借?通過”因此此處要填transforming,故選H。

【35題詳解】

考查謂語動詞的時態(tài)及語態(tài)。句意：科學(xué)家已經(jīng)將數(shù)據(jù)“注入”猴子的頭部，指示它們通過

電脈沖來執(zhí)行動作。依據(jù)空格后“dataintomonkeysheads”可推斷出,數(shù)據(jù)“注入”頭部,

分析選項可知inject有“注入"之意,而inject與主語scientists是主動關(guān)系。分析語境

可知，木空是現(xiàn)在完成時，要填injected,故選G。

【36題詳解】

考查語境。依據(jù)空格后的“美國軍隊和硅谷都起先把留意力放在大腦上”?？赏茢喑觥皩CIs

的探討步伐和規(guī)模正在不斷增加(increase)”。分析語境可知，空格處要用進(jìn)行時，要填

increasing.故詵B。

【37題詳解】

考查語境及動詞的ing形式作賓語。依據(jù)后面的內(nèi)容“企業(yè)家們設(shè)想了一個世界，在這個世

界里，人們可以用思想、彼此和機器進(jìn)行溝通”可知，此處是指“Facebook幻想著文字來表

達(dá)思想"，意即“從思想到文本的打印“，因此此處可填type。分析句子Facebookdreams

ofthought-to-text7_"可知，本空在句中作of的賓語，因此要用動詞的ing形式，

所以填typing,故選D。

【38題詳解】

考查語境。依據(jù)后面的“s」chashearingatveryhighfrequencies.**可知，此處是指“有

超人的實力”，是在“在特別高的頻率下的聽覺”，因此此句是指“企業(yè)家們設(shè)想了這樣一

個世界:在這個世界里，人們可以用思想來溝通，可以與他人溝通，也可以與機器溝通，或者

獲得超人(superhuman)的實力，比如在特別高的頻率下聽覺。”填superhuman,故選K。

【39題詳解】

考查語境。上文主要敘述了新科技在神經(jīng)活動中的運用。因此此處是指“但在那之前，1^1可

以為奇異的新應(yīng)用(applications)打開大門。”此處填applications最合適，故選C。

【40題詳解】

考查語境。分析本段的內(nèi)容可知，此處是指“刺激視覺區(qū)域來幫助盲人，在中風(fēng)患者身上建

立新的神經(jīng)連接"。makeconnections意為“建立連接/關(guān)系”，此處填connections,故
