Answer 1

【主旨大意】本篇短文為我們描繪了３０年后世界所發(fā)生的變化。

36Ｃ　三十年后生活會與現在不同．Same 相同；difficulty困難；be后跟形容詞，故答案應選Ｃ。

37Ｄ根據前一句，人口增長很快，那么世界上就會越來越多。More and more是固定短語，故答案應選Ｄ。

38A在四個選擇項中，只有much能修飾形容詞比較級，故答案應選Ａ。

39B因為電腦的重要，所以電腦的學習必將成為學校學習的重要科目。故排除Ｃ，Ｄ；又因one of+復數名詞，故答案應選Ｂ。

40D much 修飾形容詞比較級，故答案應選Ｄ。

41A go for holiday 去度假是固定短語，故答案選Ａ。

42Ｂbe used for doing 被用作干某事也是個固定用法。更多的土地被用來建新城鎮(zhèn)和房子，故答案應選Ｂ。

43Ｂ根據上文，土地少了，牛羊就少了生存的空間。所以Ｃ，D可以排除；又因room做空間講時，是不可數名詞，故答案應選Ｂ。

44Ｃ根據句意，艱苦的工作將會被機器人代替。故本句應用被動語態(tài)，又因將來時的被動語態(tài)構成為will be+過去分詞，故答案應選Ｃ。

45Ｄwork做“工作”講為不可數名詞，故排除A，Ｂ；enough修飾名詞，應放在名詞的前面，故答案應選D。
