【解析】

假如现在是2060年，人们的生活会是什么样子的呢？肯定和现在有很大的不同，短文中想象了那时人们的生活。

1.句意：当然事情都变了，生活是非常不同的。

考查形容词辨析及语境。difficult困难的；different不同的；delicious美味的；dangerous危险的。根据句中 “things have changed”可知，事情都变了，所以人们的生活跟现在就不一样了。故选B。

2.句意：在月球上度假就像2010年代在欧洲度假一样简单。

考查名词辨析及语境。lesson课，教训；step步骤；shower淋浴；holiday度假，假期。根据句意和空后 “…is as easy as taking a holiday in Europe”可知，这里是把去月球度假和去欧洲度假进行比较，这里也使用了短语take a holiday。故选D。

3.句意：在月球上的很多风景胜地，修建了很多宾馆。

考查动词辨析及语境。built修建；broken打破；chosen 选择；drawn画画；吸引。根据句子结构可知，这句话的主语是many hotels“许多宾馆”，所以应表示“被修建了”，故选A。

4.句意：人们现在吃什么？

考查动词辨析及语境。doing做；eating吃；buying 买；carrying携带。根据下句话 “Still food”“仍然是食物”可知，这里问的是“吃什么”。故选B。

5.句意：但是现在很多食物都是以药丸的形式出现的，而药丸里的食物主要来自绿色植物。

考查介词辨析及语境。into到……里面；towards向，朝；from来自；along沿着，伴随。根据句意可知，这里表示“药丸里的食物来自……”，考查短语come from，故选C。

6.句意：因为今天世界上的人口比五十年前多得多，地球表面的大部分都要被填满。

考查动词辨析及语境。written写；thrown扔；taken带走；filled填满，装满。根据句意 “Because people in the world today are much more than those about fifty years ago”可知，未来地球上的人更多了，所以地球都占满了。故选D。

7.句意：收成总是很好的。

考查形容词辨析及语境。good好的；bad坏的，劣质的；terrible可怕的，很糟的；wrong错误的。根据上句话 “The deserts are irrigated (灌溉) with water and crops are no longer eaten by pests.”可知，沙漠能够用水进行灌溉，庄稼也不会被害虫吃掉了，所以收成就好了。故选A。

8.句意：当然农业是高度发达的。

考查名词辨析及语境。Shopping购物；Living居住，生活；Farming农业；Wasting浪费。根据下文 “Very few people have to work on the farm. It is possible to run the farm by just using a few computers.”可知，这里介绍的是农业的发展。故选C。

9.句意：人们现在基本上是素食主义者，他们只吃面包、蔬菜、水果等，不吃肉或鱼。

考查名词辨析及语境。beef牛肉；potato土豆；bamboo竹子；fruit水果。根据句意可知，人们大多数都是素食主义者，故A不对；空前有vegetables，故B不对；C选项不是人们吃的食物。故选D。

10.句意：你看，因为人的数量增加了，动物的数量减少了。

考查连词辨析及语境。although虽然，尽管；as随着，因为；before在……之前；until直到……时候。根据下句话 “So people have to be vegetarians”“人们不得不成为素食者”可知，这句话说的是原因，人口数量增加导致动物数量减少，应用as引导原因状语从句，故选B。
