一、完形填空
With the development of science and technology, great changes have taken place in our world.

Isn't it time we stop to 7 ourselves where we are going—and why?

The bad news is that we're 10 and don't know where we're going.” It's a sad fact that this becomes a true story when we talk about our modern world.
