【答案】BLKAO CEGDH
【解析】
26. B，根据原文的定冠词the，可判断空白处应填名词，且通常是名词的单数形式。根据选项conclusion（结论；总结）；respond（应答；回答）；summit（顶点；最高级会议），此处的意思是：这是一项新研究的结论。因此，此处应该选择B) conclusion（总结；结论）。
27. L，根据how respiratory viruses on airplanes可以判断空白处应该填写的是谓语动词，且该句话主语是respiratory viruses是复数形式，可见谓语部分应填写动词原形。根据选项evaluate（估计；评价）；respond（回答；回应）；spread（传播；散布），此处的意思是：呼吸道病毒是如何在飞机上传播的。因此，应该选择L) spread（传播；散步）。
28. K，空格前的very为副词，表“很、非常”的意思，通常修饰形容词。空格后的chance为名词，表“机会”的含义，通常被形容词修饰。由此可判断空白处为形容词。根据选项accurate（准确的；精确的）；either（二者选一的）；nearby（附近的；临近的）；slim（苗条的；微小的）；vulnerable（易受伤害的），此句话的意思是：根据发现，其他所有的乘客只有很小的几率会得病。因此，此处应该选择K) slim（微小的）。

33. G，根据原文的different，可判断此处应该填写名词，且应该是名词的复数形式。根据选项explorations（探索；探险）；flights（航班），此处的意思是：研究团队在流感季节期间，在美国乘坐了10个不同的航班。因此，此处应选择G) flights（航班）。
34. D，根据原文，可判断空白处应该是形容词修饰名词side（边，侧）。根据选项accurate（准确的；精确的）；either（二者选一的）；nearby（附近的；临近的）；slim（苗条的；微小的）；vulnerable（易受伤害的），此处的意思是：研究人员发现，坐在感染流感病毒的人的两边任何一边的乘客，以及那些坐在患病的人前排或后排的乘客，有80%的几率患病。因此。通过前面的two seats可判断，此处应该是两个位置当中任何一个位置，因此本题选择D) either（二者选一的）更合适。
35. H，根据原文，可判断此处应该是副词修饰形容词safe（安全的）。根据选项directly（直接的）；largely（主要地；大部分地）；vividly（生动地），此处的意思是：但是，其他乘客大多数是不会被感染的。因此，此处选择H) largely（主要地；大部分地）。

A South Korean city designed for the future takes on a life of its own
A）Getting around a city is one thing — and then there's the matter of getting from one city to another. One vision of the perfect city of the future: a place that offers easy access to air travel.
In 2011, a University of North Carolina business professor named John Kasarda published a book called Aerotropolis: The Way We'll Live Next. Kasarda says future cities should be built intentionally around or near airports. The idea, as he has put it, is to offer businesses "rapid, long-distance connectivity on a massive scale."
B）"The 18th century really was a waterborne（水运的）century, the 19th century a rail century, the 20th century a highway, car, truck century — and the 21st century will increasingly be an aviation century, as the globe becomes increasingly connected by air," Kasarda says. Songdo, a city built from scratch in South Korea, is one of Kasarda's prime examples. It has existed for just a few years." From the get-go, it was designed on the basis of connectivity and competitiveness," says Kasada. "The government built the bridge directly from the airport to the Songdo International Business District. And the surface infrastructure was built in tandem with the new airport."
C）Songdo is a stone's throw from South Korea's Incheon Airport, its main international hub（枢纽）. But it takes a lot more than a nearby airport to be a city of the future. Just building a place as an "international business district" doesn't mean it will become one. Park Yeon Soo conceived（构想）this city of the future back in 1986. He considers Songdo his baby. "I am a visionary," he says. Thirty years after he imagined the city, Park's baby is close to 70 percent built, with 36,000 people living in the business district and 90,000 residents in greater Songdo. It's about an hour outside Seoul, built on reclaimed tidal flats along the Yellow Sea. There's a Coast Guard building and a tall trade tower, as well as a park, golf course and university.
D）Chances are you've actually seen this place. Songdo appears in the most famous music video ever to come out of South Korea." Gangnam Style" refers to the fashionable Gangnam district in Seoul. But some of the video was filmed in Songdo."I don't know if you remember, there was a scene in a subway station. That was not Gangnam. That was actually Songdo," says Jung Won Son, a professor of urban development at London's Bartlett School of Planning. "Part of the reason to shoot there is that it's new and nice."
E）The city was supposed to be a hub for global companies, with employees from all over the world. But that's not how it has turned out. Songdo's reputation is as a futuristic ghost town. But the reality is more complicated. A bridge with big, light-blue loops leads into the business district. In the center of the main road, there's a long line of flags of the world. On the corner, there's a Starbucks and a 7-Eleven — all of the international brands that you see all over the world nowadays.
F）The city is not empty. There are mothers pushing strollers, old women with walkers — even in the middle of the day, when it's 90 degrees out. Byun Young-Jin chairs the Songdo real estate association and started selling property here when the first phase of the city opened in 2005. He says demand has boomed in the past couple of years. Most of his clients are Korean. In fact, the developer says, 99 percent of the homes here are sold to Koreans. Young families move here because the schools are great. And that's the problem: Songdo has become a popular Korean city — more popular as a residential area than a business one. It's not yet the futuristic international business hub that planners imagined." It's a great place to live. And it's becoming a great place to work," says Scott Summers, the vice president of Gale International, the developer of the city. The floor-to-ceiling windows of his company's offices overlook Songdo Central Park, with a canal full of kayaks and paddle boats. Shimmering（闪烁的）glass towers line the canal’s edge.
G）"What's happened is, because we focused on creating that quality of life first, which enabled the residents to live here, what has probably missed the mark is for companies to locate here," he says. "There needs to be strong economic incentives." The city is still unfinished, and it feels a bit like a theme park. It doesn't feel all that futuristic. There's a high-tech underground trash disposal system. Buildings are environmentally friendly. Everybody's television set is connected to a system that streams personalized language or exercise classes.
H）But Star Trek this is not. And to some of the residents, Songdo feels hollow." I'm, like, in prison for weekdays. That's what we call it in the workplace," says a woman in her 20s. She doesn't want to use her name for fear of being fired from her job. She goes back to Seoul every weekend. "I say I'm prison-breaking on Friday nights." But she has to make the prison break in her own car. There's no high-speed train connecting Songdo to Seoul, just over 20 miles away.
I）The man who first imagined Songdo feels frustrated, too. Park says he built South Korea a luxury vehicle, "like Mercedes or BMW. It's a good car now. But we're waiting for a good driver to accelerate." But there are lots of other good cars out there, too. The world is dotted with futuristic, high-tech cities trying to attract the biggest international companies.
J）Songdo's backers contend that it's still early, and business space is filling up — about 70 percent of finished offices are now occupied. Brent Ryan, who teaches urban design at MIT, says Songdo proves a universal principle. "There have been a lot of utopian（乌托邦的）cities in history. And the reason we don't know about a lot of them is that a lot of them have vanished entirely." In other words, when it comes to cities — or anything else — it is hard to predict the future.
36. Songdo’s popularity lies more in its quality of life than its business attraction.
37. The man who conceives Songdo feels disappointed because it has fallen short of his expectations.
38. A scene in a popular South Korean music video was shot in Songdo.
39. Songdo still lacks the financial stimulus for businesses to set up shop there.
40. Airplanes will increasingly become the chief means of transportation, according to a professor.
41. Songdo has ended up different from the city it was supposed to be.
42. Some of the people who work in Songdo complain about boredom in the workplace.
43. A business professor says that a future city should have easy access to international transportation.
44. According to an urban design professor, it is difficult for city designers to foresee what happen in the future.
45. Park Yeon So. Who envisioned Songdo, feels a parental connection with the city.
