试题分析：2020年我们的生活会怎样？谁也不知道。但是我们可以在这些方面预测一下。1.未来人们用什么语言？很可能是英语和汉语；2.干净的淡水会很贵；3.学生们会在家里和全世界的学生一起通过因特网学习；机器人会做很多家务；4.人们有可能会生活和工作在海里。电脑和手机会随身带。
小题1:根据English should still be the most popular language, but Chinese should be the second. Now, many foreign people are studying Chinese    A    their second language.可知，未来英语应该是最普及的语言，其次应该是汉语。因为现在许多外国人在把汉语当做第二语言来学习。所以填as意思是：作为；根据They will stay at home and study online. Students from all over the world may study together    B    the Internet.可知，来自世界各地的学生会在因特网上一起学习。所以填on意思是：在……上。
小题2:根据We will haveto save water and pay more for clean water.可知，我们将不得不节约水、更关注清洁的水。因为:许多河流都消失了，水和石油一样贵。所以翻译是：许多河流将消失，水和石油会一样贵。
小题3:根据②Lots of danger housework will be done by them.（许多危险的家务活会让机器人做。）可知，housework是名词，前面应该用形容词修饰。所以把名词，danger改成形容词，dangerous.。
小题4:根据③computer, the, answers, will, all, the, to, their, people, problems, give.可知，每个人带着一个袖珍电脑，这个电脑会给人们回答所有问题的答案。所以排序是The computer will give people the answers to all their problems. 或：The computer will give people all the answers to their problems.。
小题5:根据What will our world be like in 2020?和全文的预测可知，本文主要讨论的是未来的生活。所以 选C. the life in the future。
