试题精析
[答案][C]warning
考点：
上下文语义理解
解析：
空格之后的宾语从句部分“technologyisreplacinghumanworkers.”结合选项，应该选择warning。
其他三项[A]boasting?
?
?
?
?
?
?
?
?
[B]denying?
?
?
?
?
?
?
?
?
?
?
?
?
[D]ensuring
均不符合此处的语境要求，故均排除。
[答案][A]inequality
考点：
上下文语义理解
空格单词后面的句意看到了贫富对比，故作为上文对其进行概括关键应选择inequality。
[答案][D]prediction
考点：
时态判断
空格之后的内容“holdsthatthefuturewillbeawastelandofadifferentsort，”该定语从句是对空格词汇的修饰与说明，既然文中用到了will这一个表示将来时态的助动词，故答案为prediction。
[答案][A]characterized
考点：
后置定语+固定搭配
one4bypurposelessness。
其他三项均不符合，故排除。
5.[答案][B]meaning
考点：
句间语义理解
Withoutjobstogivetheirlives5，peoplewillsimplybecomelazyanddepressed.空格所在句后面的表述与空格前的内容属于并列关系，由逗号连接。
答案选择meaning。
[A]wisdom?
?
?
[C]glory?
?
?
?
?
[D]freedom这些选项都表示褒义色彩和后面lazy、depressed矛盾。
6. [答案][B]Indeed
考点：
上下文逻辑关系
分析下四个选项可以看出并无体现因果关系故[A]Thus排除，另外instead，nevertheless表示转折语意，但是上下文逻辑并无体现。
?
故[A]Instead?
?
?
?
?
?
?
?
?
?
?
?
?
[C]Thus?
?
?
?
?
?
?
?
?
?
[D]Nevertheless均排除。
7.[答案][C]working
考点：
上下文语义理解
OneGalluppollfoundthat20percentofAmericanswhohavebeenunemployedforatleastayearreporthavingdepression，doubletheratefor7Americans.根据上下文对比的语意对照应该选择working。
前面提到unemployed。
此处在进行对比，故选择表示反义呼应的词working。
8.[答案][A]explanation
考点：
句内语意理解+固定搭配
someresearchsuggeststhatthe8forrisingratesofmortality，mental-healthproblems，andaddicting9poorly-educatedmiddle-agedpeopleisshortageofwell-paidjobs.
[答案][D]among
考点：
句内语义理解、介词辨析
很明显应该指前者的发生范围。
浏览四个选项，among“在....中”表示范围，符合此处语义需要，故为答案。
[答案][C]worryabout
考点：
上下文语义理解+句内语义理解
Perhapsthisiswhymany10theagonizingdullnessofajoblessfuture.
[答案][C]necessarily
考点：
上下文逻辑关系+句内语义理解
Butitdoesn’t?
11followfromfindingslikethesethataworldwithoutworkwouldbefilledwithunease.But表示转折语意。
doesn'tnecessarily不一定。
符合此处语意需要，故为答案。
12.[答案][B]downsides
考点：
上下文语义理解后置定语
Suchvisionsarebasedonthe?
12ofbeingunemployedinasocietybuiltontheconceptofemployment.
答案的线索在于空格后面的介词短语，后面提到beingunemployed。
这是贬义。
其他选项均不符条件。
[答案][A]absence
考点：
词汇复现
Inthe?
13ofwork，asocietydesignedwithotherendsinmindcould?
14strikinglydifferentcircumstancesforthefutureoflaborandleisure.
[答案][D]yield
考点：
词汇的一词多义与搭配
Inthe?
13ofwork，asocietydesignedwithotherendsinmindcould?
14strikinglydifferentcircumstancesforthefutureoflaborandleisure.该空格所选词汇的主语是asociety宾语是differentcircumstances.根据主谓一致的原则应该选择yield。
语义为：
产生。
15.[答案][C]virtue
考点：
上下文语义理解
overblown.一词为解题线索。
含义：
吹散吹倒表贬义。
后面的内容Manyjobsareboring，degrading，unhealthy，andawasteofhumanpotential，”saysJohnDanaher，alecturerattheNationalUniversityofIrelandinGalway.是对这句话的进一步解释，结合前后的上下文语义理解，应选择virtue，其他选项均排除。
16. [答案][D]scarce
考点：
上下文语义理解
becauseleisuretimeisrelatively?
16formostworkers，peopleusetheirfreetimetocounterbalancetheintellectualandemotional?
17oftheirjobs.结合常识认知及上下文理解应该选择scarce。
17. [答案][A]demands
考点：
上下文语义理解
根据语义的要求，浏览选项，只有demands符合语义要求。
18. [答案][B]tired?
?
考点：
上下文语义理解+常识
“WhenIcomehomefromahardday’swork，Ioftenfeel?
18，”Danahersays，adding，“InaworldinwhichIdon’thavetowork，Imightfeelratherdifferent”.
19. [答案][D]into
考点：
固定搭配+句内语义理解
perhapsdifferentenoughtothrowhimself?
19ahobbyorapassionprojectwiththeintensityusuallyreservedfor?
20matters.
“Throwoneselfinto......”意思是：
一头扎进；投身于，积极从事
20.[答案][B]professional
考点：
复现+呼应
perhapsdifferentenoughtothrowhimself?
intoahobbyorapassionprojectwiththeintensityusuallyreservedfor?
20matters.此处空格处答案和前面的intensity形成呼应与关联。
故此处professional符合语义需要，入选。
