选项 A、imagination
B、dream
C、nightmare
D、fancy
答案 B
解析 此题为词语辨析类题目。70，71，72题须综合考虑。此处上下文的意思是：由于无线电天文望远镜的发明，总有一天与外星人交流的梦想会实现。A) imagination 的意思是“an unrealistic idea or notion；a fancy (空想，幻想不现实的想法或观念；幻想)”，由于上下文指出这是可以实现的，所以此处的确切含义是“梦想”，而不是“幻想”。B) dream 这里是引申义，意思是“A) condition or achievement that is longed for；all aspiration：(梦想渴望的状态或成就)”，符合文义，为正确答案。C) nightmare 是“梦魇，噩梦”的意思，与原文的意思正相反。D) fancy 为imagination 的近义词，意为“The mental faculty through which whims，Visions，and fantasies are summoned up；imagination，especially of a whimsical or fantastic nature，(想像力心智机能，能产生想法、幻想、想象；想象，尤指有异想天开或空想的特性的。)”与上下文不符。
