11、sent from the vantage point of the future; the freedom to feel unencumbered by the past and more emotionally attached to things to come. “America is therefore the land of the future,” the German philosopher Hegel wrote. “The American lives even more for his goals, for the future, than the European.”
12、 Albert Einstein concurred. “Life for him is always becoming, never being.”In 2012, America will still be the place where the future happens first, for that is the nations oldest tradition.

The country remains a magnet for the future-minded from other nations. One
19、 in 12 Americans has enjoyed the thrill and challenge of starting his own business.

We are discovering that there are many things that human beings do easily that computers

32、经历的季节之中。我似乎更冷静地持怀疑态度，对所有那些在电信未来上输了钱的IPO傻瓜们_。）这句话通过后面的sucker“容易上当受骗的人”以及who lost their money“那些输钱的人”可以看出，对他们应该是抱有鄙夷的态度的，因此D选项ridicule“嘲笑，奚落”正确。A选项appreciate“欣赏”；B选项praise“称赞”；C选项shun“避开”都不正确。50.事实细节题。根据题干关键词定位到第八段We dont know exactly what the next future-minded frenzy win look like.

47、ack for critical appraisal of the scientific method, maybe even long enough to vote on whether to go on with it or not.（对于测试一种人类互动的新方法来说，三百年似乎太长了，足够让人们回过头来对科学方法进行批判性评估，甚至可能足够让人们投票决定是否继续使用它。）通过这句话可以得出，三百年的时候足够长，以至于人们开始批判性的评估科学了，因此C选项“几个世纪以来，科学发现一直受到人类世界的一致欢迎”，是和文章不符合的，因为科学已经开始被质疑了，因此C选项当选。A选项“过去三百年的科学实验产生了许多有价值的东西”，是文章中提到的；B选项“三百年来，有人对科学持敌对态度”，是文章的观点；D选项“三百年的时间不足以让我们回过头来对科学方法进行批判性的评价”，这个虽然与原文看似不符合，但是后文有一句There is an argument.“但是这是有争议的。”可以看出这句话是有争议的，因此D选项是有争议的，
