“Well, no one knows. But it’s very interesting 2 (guess),” says Tom. “In the year 2050, everybody will have a pocket computer. The computer will give people the 3 (answer) to all their problems.
We will all have telephones in 4 (we) pockets too. We will not only be able to talk to our friends, 5 also see them all over the world on the phones. Perhaps there will be 6 (town), factories and farms under the sea too.
Machines will do most of the work so people will have 7 (many) holidays. Robots will take the place of housewives. They will do most of the housework, 8 washing, cooking and cleaning. We will work only two or three days 9 week. We will be able to fly to the moon by spaceship and spend our holidays there.”
“We are 10 (look) forward to the year 2050. We hope we will fly to the moon,” says Tom.
“Maybe we will be able to live with fish under the sea some day. Won’t that be very interesting? Just like a fish!” says Fred.

本文是汤姆和弗雷德之间的对话，他们谈论2050年将会发生些什么事情。
1. asks 根据空格后的Tom可知，主语是第三人称单数，所以谓语动词ask要用第三人称单数形式，故此处答案应该填asks。
2. to guess 此处是“It's +形容词+ to do sth.”句型，故此处答案应该填to guess。
3. answers 根据all their problems可知，此处用名词answer的复数形式answers。
4. our 此处用形容词性物主代词our来修饰名词。
5. but 此处用固定搭配“not only ... but also ...”，意为“不但……而且……”，故此处答案填but。
6. towns 空前没有冠词，故此处填复数形式towns。
7. more 机器将完成大部分的工作，因此人们会有更多的假期。此处需要用many的比较级形式来修饰名词holidays。
8. like 根据句意理解可知，此处需要填介词like，意为“例如”。
9. a 此处用短语two or three days a week表示频率，故此处应该填冠词a。
10. looking 此处用现在进行时，由“be动词+动词的-ing形式”构成，故此处的动词look应该填现在分词形式looking。
