()1.Will all the money be stored electronic money in the future?

A.in need of
B.in the form of
C.in memory of
D.in the direction of

B

根据句意“未来所有的钱都会以电子货币的形式存储吗？”，“in the form of”表示“以……的形式”，符合语境。A项“in need of”意为“需要”；C项“in memory of”意为“为了纪念”；D项“in the direction of”意为“朝……方向”，均不符合句意。

()2.Fan Jinshi planned and the largest protection program in the history of the Mogao Caves.

A.carried out
B.tried out
C.broke out
D.turned out

A

本题考查动词短语的辨析，根据题意“樊锦诗规划并_______莫高窟历史上最大的保护项目。”应选择表示“执行、实施”的短语。
carried out 意为执行、实施，符合题意。
tried out 意为试验、测试，不符合题意。
broke out 意为爆发，不符合题意。
turned out 意为结果是，不符合题意。

()3.3D films make us we are really inside them.

A.look like
B.seem like
C.sound like
D.feel like

D

3D films（3D电影）的效果是让人有身临其境的感觉。look like（看起来像）、sound like（听起来像）不符合语境；seem like侧重“似乎像”，feel like侧重“感觉像”。此处强调“感觉自己真的在里面”，用feel like。

()4.We call the Earth "Blue " because the ocean covers about 71 percent of it.

A.Sky
B.Water
C.Planet
D.Mountain

C

根据题干中的信息“because the ocean covers about 71 percent of it”可知，因为海洋覆盖了地球大约71%的面积，所以地球被称为“蓝色星球”，Planet有“行星（指地球）”之意，这里“Blue Planet”指地球这个蓝色星球。A选项“Sky”是天、天空的意思；B选项“Water”是水的意思；D选项“Mountain”是山的意思，均不符合题意。

()5.—AI technology takes the world forward. Will it change the world?
—Well，it depends on how it is used and developed.

A.smoothly
B.completely
C.rapidly
D.properly

B

本题可根据各选项副词的含义，结合对话语境来选择合适的答案。题干中问的是“人工智能技术会______改变世界吗”，回答是“这取决于它如何被使用和开发”。
选项A：“smoothly”意为“平稳地，顺利地”，通常用来描述动作或过程的顺畅程度，放在此处“平稳地改变世界”，不符合对话逻辑。
选项B：“completely”意为“完全地”，“完全改变世界”符合询问人工智能对世界影响程度的语境，且与回答中“取决于如何使用和开发”相呼应。
选项C：“rapidly”意为“迅速地”，强调速度，而对话重点并非改变世界的速度，所以该选项不合适。
选项D：“properly”意为“适当地，正确地”，一般用来描述行为或方式的恰当性，用在此处“正确地改变世界”不符合语境。
