11、來(lái)會(huì)被認(rèn)為是我們所認(rèn)為的原始人，正如石器時(shí)代的狩獵者和我們相比一樣。可知要預(yù)測(cè)較為遙遠(yuǎn)的未來(lái)是一件困難的事情。3c這是一道通過(guò)上下文猜想詞義的題目。從上下文可知，這邊四個(gè)詞匯是作者杜撰的，用以形象地表示祝賀10，000年后未知的事物和行為。4a這是一道邏輯推理題。文中提及現(xiàn)在即開(kāi)始想像，是基于兩點(diǎn)理由：人生是有限的；我們可能得到我們沒(méi)有得到的新穎的見(jiàn)解。文中還提及如果我們因粗心大意和貪得無(wú)厭而把地球弄得一塌糊涂而不能居住，我們的子孫們就不難找到遷怒于我們的理由。 考題 2 (典型例題海, b) martha had been working for miller laboratories fo
