【解析】

本文是一篇應(yīng)用文，介紹Elon Musk對(duì)未來科技發(fā)展的幾項(xiàng)預(yù)測(cè)。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。 根據(jù)Trips to the moon部分中的SpaceX, Musk’s rocket and space exploration company, failed to deliver on its promise.(馬斯克的火箭和太空探索公司SpaceX未能兌現(xiàn)承諾)可知，Musk關(guān)于Trips to the moon現(xiàn)在還沒有實(shí)現(xiàn)。A. Trips to the moon.符合以上說法，故選A項(xiàng)。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Hyperloop and Loop部分的you can alleviate any arbitrary level of urban congestion with a 3D tunnel network(你可以通過環(huán)形軌道緩解任意程度的交通阻塞)可知，成立The Boring Company的目的是為了緩解交通阻塞。B. solve traffic problems(解決交通問題)符合以上說法，故選B項(xiàng)。

【3】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段Elon Musk is famous for making bold claims and big bets.(馬克斯以大膽斷言和豪賭聞名)和下文內(nèi)容可推測(cè)，馬斯克非常關(guān)注未來世界，所以才會(huì)做出那么多對(duì)于未來世界的推測(cè)。B. Musk is concerned about the future of the world.(馬斯克關(guān)心未來世界)符合以上推測(cè)，故選B項(xiàng)。
