B)根据短文内容,从所给选项中选出能够填入空白处的最佳选项。(有两项多余)(2025·江苏徐州新沂期中)
What will our life be like in 50 years? No one knows the answer exactly, but we are sure that it will be very different from the life today. My brother Jill White makes some predictions. 12
First, people will have less work to do, and robots will do most work. People will use robots to make cars, do the housework, look after sick people and teach students. 13 So people will become stronger and healthier, and they will live to be about 200 years old.
Second, cars will become very small and computers will control(控制) their speed. 14 Planes will be very popular and most people would like to take them to travel.
Third, people will be able to live in the sea, on the moon or on Mars. 15 So there will be much space for people to plant trees. There will be less pollution, and the air will become much fresher.
Finally, water shortage will become one of the most serious problems. If people don't save water now, there will be water wars in 50 years.

【分析】
这是一篇初中英语的短文补全（七选五）题型，核心主题是对50年后未来生活的预测。解题时首先通读全文，理清文章是总分结构：首段引出Jill的预测，后文分四个维度展开具体说明。接下来逐空定位上下文逻辑：12空在首段末尾，需要找总起下文四点预测的过渡句；13空要衔接前文“机器人承担绝大多数工作”和后文“人类更健康长寿”的因果逻辑；14空要承接前文汽车的智能化变化，自然过渡到后文飞机出行普及的内容；15空要衔接前文“人类可居住在海洋、月球、火星”和后文“陆地有更多空间种树、污染减少”的逻辑，最后排除两个多余选项即可匹配出正确答案。
【解析】
12. 空处位于首段结尾，前文点明Jill White做出了相关预测，后文立刻用First、Second等标识展开四点具体预测，此处需要填入引出下文具体预测的总起过渡句，对应选项A。
13. 空处前文介绍机器人会承担造车、做家务、照料病人、授课等绝大多数人类工作，后文推导得出人类会更强健、寿命可达200岁的结论，此处需要填入衔接“机器人替代人类劳作”和“人类健康长寿”逻辑的内容，对应选项E。
14. 空处前文说明未来汽车体积很小、由电脑控制车速，后文提到飞机将非常普及，多数人选择搭乘飞机出行，此处需要承接汽车的相关特性，顺理成章引出飞机成为更受欢迎的出行方式，对应选项D。
15. 空处前文提到未来人类可以选择居住在海里、月球或者火星上，后文指出会有大量空余空间用来植树、污染降低空气更清新，此处需要填入说明人类不再全部聚居在地球陆地、陆地空间得到释放的内容，对应选项B。
【答案】
12. A 13. E 14. D 15. B
【知识点】
七选五阅读，逻辑推理，语篇衔接
