问题     Are we at the beginning of another Age of Exploration? Perhaps even more important, are we at the beginning of【C1】______Age of Colonization? As the population of the world increases towards the point【C2】______the earth can no longer support all the people【C3】______on it, the second question becomes urgent. Will we discover a new world, 【C4】______Columbus did, on which human life will be possible? At this point in the space age, no one can really answer these questions. We can say, 【C5】______that we will not see tomorrow the kind of space travel that【C6】______fiction and the movies have shown. It will be a long time before we have flight that run【C7】______to human colonies on the moon or on, one of the planets. We are not even going to be able to【C8】______immediate advantages of the minerals that we may find on the planets【C9】______our own solar system.

选项 A、inhabited
B、crowded
C、borne
D、rushed
答案 B
解析 动词词义辨析。inhabited“居住”；crowded“拥挤”；borne“出生”；rushed“冲到，猛冲”。本句的谓语是support，要选择过去分词形式修饰people。inhabit为及物动词，后面必须加宾语，不能用做过去分词作定语。crowded填入此处，意为“拥挤在这个地球上的人们”，符合逻辑。故答案为B。
