Among the most popular books being written today are those which are usually classified as science fiction. Hundreds of titles are published every year and are read by all kinds of people.
Furthermore, some of the most successful films in recent years have been based on science fiction stories.
It is often thought that science fiction is a fairly new development in literature, but it can be found in books written hundreds of years ago. These books were often concerned with the presentation of some form of ideal society, a theme which is still often found in modern stories.
Most of the classics of science fiction, however, have been written within the last hundred years. Books by writers such as Jules Verne and H.G. Wells, to mention just two well-known
authors, have been translated into many languages. Modern science fiction writers don't write about men from Mars or space adventure stories. They are more interested in predicting the results of technical developments on society and the human mind; or in imagining future world which are a reflection of the world which we live in now. Because of this their writing has obviously political undertones.
In an age where science fact frequently overtakes science fiction, the writers may find it difficult to keep ahead of scientific advances. Those who are sufficiently clear-sighted to see the way we are going, however, may provide a valuable lesson on how to deal with the problems which society will inevitably face as it tries to master its new technology.According to the passage, we know that查看材料A.science fiction is a fairly new development in literature
B.the history of science fiction is less than a hundred years
C.the science fiction in the past is more popular than modern science fiction
D.modern science fiction usually has obviously political undertones答案：D解析：根据文章第三段最后一句，“Because of this their writing has obviously political under—tones”可知，科幻小说家的创作会有很鲜明的政治底色，故D正确。文中第二段第一句说科幻小说经常被认为是一个很新的文学形式，但是在数百年前就可以找到科幻小说，所以A项不对；根据文章第二段第一句，文中说的是“hundreds of years ago(成百上千年前)”，不是“less than a hundred years”，所以B项不对；对于C项，文章第一段说现在科幻小说很流行，并没有比较科幻小说在现在还是在过去更出名。故选D。

第一篇Electronic TeachingThe potential of closed-circuit television and other new electronic teaching tools is so great that it is fascinating to visualize" the school of tomorrow".Televised lessons will originate from a central building having perhaps four or five master studios.The lessons will be carried into classrooms all over a city,or even an entire country.After a televised lesson has been given,the classroom teacher will take over for the all important"follow-up"period.The students will ask any troublesome questions,and difficult points will be cleared up through discussion.The teacher in the classroom will have additional electronic tools.On the teacher's desk,the traditional chalk and erasers will have been replaced by a multiple-control panel and magnetic tape players.The tape machines will run pre-recorded lessons which pupils will follow by headphones. The lessons will be specifically geared to the students' levels of ability.For instance,while the class as a whole studies history,each student will receive an individual history lesson,directed to his par-ticular level of ability.Should question arise,the students will be able to talk directly to the teacher on individual intercoms without disturbing the rest of the class.In this way,the teacher will be able to conduct as many as three classes at the same time.With the rapid development of computer science,students will be aided with specially prepared multi-media software to study their subjects better. Homework will possibly be assigned and handed in via electronic mail system. Students can even take examinations on their computer linked with the teachers' and get the score instantly.They will get certificates or diplomas if they pass all the required examinations.Experts believe that this type of education will be very popular in the years ahead.When having lessons,the students will_________.A:always listen to the same pre-recorded lessons togetherB:usually have individual lessons according to their ability levelsC:control the multiple-control panel and magnetic tape playersD:receive face-to-face instructions from the teacher in the same classroom答案：B解析：根据是第二段第一句：Televised lessons will originate from a central building having perhaps four or five master studios.根据是第三段第一句：After a televised lesson has been given , the classroom teacher will take over for the all important"follow-up"period.根据是第四段第四句：The lessons will be specifically geared to the students' levels of ability.和第四段第五句：For instance , while the class as a whole studies history , each student will receive an individual history lesson,directed to his particular level of ability.根据是第五段第一句：Should question arise , the students will be able to talk directly to the teacher on individual intercoms without disturbing the rest of the class.根据是最后一段第二句：Homework will possibly be assigned and handed in via electronic mail system和第三句：Students can even take examinations on their computer linked with the teachers' and get the score instantly.可以得知A、B、C均正确。根据最后一段第四句： They will get certificates or diplomas if they pass all the required examinations.D选项是不正确的。

How often one hears children wishing they were grown up，and old people wishing they were young again. Each age has its pleasures and its pains，and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets.Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities. If a child has good parents，he is well fed，looked after and loved. It is unlikely that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. In addition，life is always presenting new things to the child-things that have lost their，interest for older people because they are too well known. A child finds pleasure in playing in the rain，or in the snow. His first，visit to the seaside is a marvelous adventure. But a child has his pains：he is not so free to do as he wishes as he thinks older people are；he is continually being told what to do and what not to do. Therefore，a child is not happy as he wishes to be.When the young man starts to earn his own living，he becomes free from the discipline of school and parents；but at the same time he is forced to accept responsibilities. With no one to pay for his food，his clothes，or his room，he has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child，he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents，he may get himself into trouble. If，however，he works hard，goes by the law and has good health，he may feel satisfied in seeing himself make steady progress in his job and in building up for himself his own position in society.Old age has always been thought of as the worst age to be；but it is not necessary for the old to be unhappy. With old age comes wisdom and the ability to help others with advice wisely given. The old can have the joy of seeing their children making progress in life；they can watch their grandchildren growing up around them；and，perhaps best of all，they can，if their life has been a useful one，feel the happiness of having come through the battle of life safely and of having reached a time when they can lie back and rest，leaving everything to others.The happiest people should be those who______.A．face up to difficulties in lifeB．hope to be young againC．enjoy life in different agesD．wish to be grown up正确答案：C解析：见第一段，每一个年龄段有快乐和烦恼，最快乐的人不会浪费他的时间去后悔，而是享受每个午龄段所带给他的。

The Biology of MusicHumans use music as a powerful way to communicate.It may also play an important role in love.But what is music,and how does it work its magic?Science does not yet have all the answers.What are two things that make humans different from animals?One is language,and the other is music. It is true that some animals.can sing(and many birds sing better than a lot of people).However,the songs of animals,such as birds and whales,are very limited.It is also true that humans,not animals,have developed musical instruments.Music is strange stuff.It is clearly different from language.However,people can use.music to communicate things-especially their emotions.When music is combined with speech in a song,it is a very powerfnl form of communication.But,biologically speaking,what is music?If music is truly different from speech,then we should process music and language in different parts of the brain.The scientific evidence suggests that this is true.Sometimes people who suffer brain damage lose their ability to process language.However,they don't automatically（自动地）lose their musical abilities.For example , Vissarion Shebalin , a Russian composer , had a stroke（中风）in 1953.It injured the left side of his brain.He could no longer speak or understand speech.He could,however,still compose music until his death ten years later.On the other hand,sometimes strokes cause people to lose their musical ability,but they can still speak and understand speech.This shows that the brain processes music and language separately.By studying the physical effects of music on the body，scientists have also learned a lot about how music influences the emotions.But why does music have such a strong effect on us?That is a harder question to answer.Geoffrey Miller,a researcher at University College,London,thinks that music and love have a strong connection.Music requires -special talent,practice,and physical ability.That's why it may be a way of showing your fitness to be someone's mate.For example,singing in tune or playing a musical instrument requires fine muscular control.You also need a good memory to remmher the notes（音符）.And playing or singing those notes correctly suggests that your hearing is in excellent condition.Finally,when a man sings to the woman he loves(or vice versa),it may be a way of showing off.However,Miller's theory still doesn't explain why certain combinations of sounds influence our emotions so deeply.For scientists,this is clearly an area that needs fuither research.The author doesn't suggest that______.A:music requires special talentB:music requires practiceC:music requires psychological ability D:music requires physical ability答案：C解析：根据第一段第一句可知，音乐可以作为高效的交流方式；根据第六段第六、十句可知，音乐可以作为一种有用的求爱工具；根据第六段第一句可知，音乐可以影响情绪。虽然第一段第三句出现了“magic”这个词，但并没有提到音乐可以用来表演魔术，故选B项。第二段第一、二句表明，导致人类与动物不同的因素有两个：一个是语言，另一个是音乐。根据第五段第一二句可知，丧失处理语言能力的人不会自动丧失音乐才能，所以A项错误；根据第五段第三、四、五、六句可知，Vissarion Shebalin在1953年患了中风，中风损伤了他的左脑，他变得不能说话或理解话语，却依然能够作曲，可知B、C两项错误；根据第五段最后一句可知，大脑对音乐和语言分别进行处理，D项正确，故选D项。根据第六段第五句可知，作者认为学习音乐需要特殊的天赋、练习以及体能。文章中并没有提到学习音乐需要某种心理素养。文章第一段提出了什么是音乐这个问题，然后指出音乐是人与动物区别的因素之一，第三段最后一句又再次提出了从生物学上来说音乐是什么这个问题，然后对此进行了分析。由此可知，本篇文章主要讲的是如何从生物学的角度来理解音乐。
