人们总想知道未来会是什么样子的，其实要想展望未来，必须了解过去。不管世界如何变化，人们的基本需求如食物、睡眠、被欣赏和爱的感觉等不会改变，未来的虚拟世界也不会代替真实的世界。但是可以预知，未来五十年里，世界将从依靠石油的社会过渡到新的社会，人们的生活会更好。\n1．D [根据空处下文可知，在过去的150年里，世界发生了巨大的变化；结合空前一句可推知，空处承上启下，说明我们想要展望未来，就要了解过去，故D项符合语境。]2．A [根据空前一句可知，在过去的150年里，人们的基本需求如食物、睡眠、被欣赏和爱的感觉没有变化，结合空后的“No”可知，空处应是一个疑问句，并与空前一句讲人的基本需求相呼应，故A项与此处匹配。]3．G [根据该段第二句可知，该段主要讲的是预知未来的两个原因，空前一句讲的是第一个原因，即需要思考自己想要的并传递给下一代的未来是什么样的；据此可知，空处陈述第二个原因，即需要知道做出怎样的决定才能给未来带来最好的结果，故G项正确。其中G项中的“Thenweneedto”与空前一句中的“First，weneedto”相呼应。]4．F [根据空后一句可知，即使一项重大发明的价格我们可以承受，但是虚拟体验绝不会代替真实体验，结合空处上文可推知，F项符合语境，衔接上下文。]5．B

该文简单介绍了三种中国传统食物——面条、整鱼和粽子。1．are [考查时态和主谓一致。“withalonghistory”前后都有逗号，可以理解为插入语，不影响句子的主体结构，该句的主语是“Chinesefoods”，且此处是客观性的描述，故谓语用复数形式，时态用一般现在时，所以填are。]2．a [\n考查冠词。cake是可数名词，第一次在文中出现，而且没有用复数形式，又根据语境可知，此处应用不定冠词修饰；又因为birthday的发音以辅音音素开头，所以填a。]3．lit/lighted [考查with复合结构。此处为“with＋名词/代词＋分词/形容词/副词/介词短语/名词”结构，在句子中作状语。根据语境并分析句子结构可知，空处和“itscandles”存在逻辑上的动宾关系，故用light的过去分词形式lit或lighted。]4．unlucky [考查形容词。根据语境可知，此处表示“因为面条意味着长寿，所以将它们切断被认为是非常不吉利的”，所以填形容词unlucky。]5．symbolizes [考查词形转换。根据句意并分析句子结构可知，空处作谓语，和句子的主语“awholefish”构成主谓关系，且此处表示一种客观情况，故用一般现在时的单数形式，所以填symbolizes。]6．it [考查固定用法。itisbelievedthat...“据信”是固定用法，it作形式主语，that引导的从句是真正的主语，所以此处应填代词it。]7．which [考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，空处引导非限制性定语从句，修饰表示物的先行词zongzi，引导词在从句中作主语，所以填which。]8．ismade [考查动词的时态和语态。根据语境可知，此处表示“由……构成”，应用bemadeof...表示，又句子的主语为“Thistastydish”，且此处是客观性的描述，故应用一般现在时的单数形式，所以填ismade。]9．leaves [考查名词的单复数。leaf是可数名词，没有被冠词修饰，且此处表示“竹叶”，表示复数概念，故用其复数形式，所以填leaves。]10．of
