Science Fiction The science fiction type of entertainment is considered by most to be fathered by Jules Verne (A Journey to the Center of the Earth and Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea) and H.G.Wells (The Time Machine and The War of the Worlds).Sci-Fi, as it is commonly shortened, is a fictional story in which science and technology have a significant influence on the characters and plot.Many such works are guesswork about what the future holds and how scientific findings and technological advances will shape humankind.
Writing in the late 1800s, Jules Verne was remarkably successful in his 10 guesses about future technologies of air conditioning, automobiles, the Internet, television, and underwater, air, and space travel.Unbelievably, of all places from which to choose, Jules Verne guessed Tampa, Florida, USA as the launching site of the first project to the Moon, which was only 200 kilometers away from the actual 1969 location at Cape Canaveral, Florida.
One of the best-known science fiction books is Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell.Published in 1949, it was not meant as a prediction, but as a warning: Orwell was describing what he saw as the outcome of the ideas, trends, and emerging technologies of his time.Many invented terms from this novel have become common in everyday use, such as “big brother” and “doublethink”.Even the author’s name has been made into an adjective—Orwellian—and has become a warning descriptor for situations where privacy is lost and the individual becomes sacrifice under a totalitarian(極權(quán)主義)government.Nineteen Eighty-Four was translated into sixty-five languages within five years of its publication, setting a record that still stands.
What helps bring science fiction into being is usually a new discovery or innovation.The author creates an analysis of the potential influence and consequences and then wraps it in a pleasant story.For example, the beginning of space exploration was followed a few years later by the Star Trek television program and movie series.Advances in genetics(遺傳學(xué))cause fantasies of the end of disease, horrors of eugenics(優(yōu)生學(xué)), and thrillers where creatures disappearing long ago are brought back to life.The science fiction author’s self-determined role is that of field glasses for humanity—searching the world of future possibilities upon the road which we are traveling.
1.What can science fiction offer to people?
A.A forecast of how a new discovery could influence mankind.
B.A thoughtful look at the present drawbacks of technology.
C.An analysis of why a new technology could be used to harm human.
D.A thoughtful look at the past and what brought us to this point in history.
2.Which of the following best summarizes the description of Nineteen Eighty-Four?
A. A prediction of future technologies
B. A warning of cruel and unfair ruling
C. The consequence of scientific findings
D. An imaginary perfect world of freedom.
3.From the passage we can learn that _____.
A. Nineteen Eighty-Four adopted some popular terms
B. H.G.Wells predicted the Internet in the late 1800s
C. Cape Canaveral was mentioned in Jules Verne’s fiction
D. Star Trek movie series were based on space exploration
4.According to the author, what is the role of science fiction in society?
A.A moral compass
B.A reference of technology
C.A record of science development
D.A consideration of possibilities

Twelve-year-old Leonardo was born in a poor family in Bambamarca in Peru. He knew how to read but he had never seen a book in his life. So he asked the new priest(牧師)in his village to give him one. But there was no electricity. So Leonardo borrowed candles from the church and sat up all night reading it. The next morning, he was at the door of the priest asking for another book to read.
John Medcalf, the priest,was moved. He also realised that people would love to read if given a chance. But he knew how difficult it was for Leonardo and those in his village to get books. And yet, no one can be taught to read and write without books. To make people in a poor, faraway area grow to love books,they have to be with them. So he thought the only way was to bring books to people.
But how could this be done? Mobile libraries or car libraries would be too expensive and difficult to continue in the rocky, hilly land of Peru. So what other methods could be used?
Medcalf got a new idea from the barefoot(赤腳)doctors of China. And that was how the barefoot librarians(圖書管理員)first appeared in the villages of northern Peru,almost thirty years ago.
The librarians began by going from village to village, lending books to villagers. They helped start The Rura1 Library Network of Peru.
At first,they were teachers of the village schools which these faraway libraries belonged to. But the teachers were not very interested in the job because it meant a lot of hard work. So, village leaders took on the job themselves.
Today, there are 600 village libraries across Peru. The barefoot librarians who walk up to 15 hours a day with bags of books are their lifeline.
1.The first paragraph tells us that Leonardo ______ .
A. had a lot of books
B. bought candles from others
C. enjoyed reading books
D. lived in the church
2.The underlined word "this" in Paragraph 3 probably refers to “______ ”
A. to grow to love books B. to bring books to people
C. to read and write D. to build a new library
3.The passage doesn't mention ______.
A. when the barefoot librarians appeared
B. who worked as village librarians at first
C. where Medcalf met Chinese doctors
D. how many village libraries Peru has today
4.It can be inferred(推斷)from the passage that ______.
A. the first church in Peru was set up by John Medcalf
B. car libraries used to be popular in Leonardo's village
C. teachers were interested in bringing books to villagers
D. the barefoot librarians are important to village libraries

When I was having a walk through the park today, I met a friend I hadn’t seen for ages. She stared at me curiously. “You have kept this umbrella for years; it's old and out of date. I wonder why you keep it and take it wherever you go.” I smiled, “it means a great deal to me.” I simply gave her my shortest answer. Honestly speaking, I, either, could not understand the reason why I kept it.
Then all of a sudden, fallen leaves darkened my eyes with a strong wind. I grabbed the umbrella instinctively. The rain poured down. Thanks to my umbrella, I didn’t get wet at all.
“Why have I kept it for so long?” I asked myself, staring at my umbrella. I couldn’t remember when and where I bought it, for I’m always tired and lazy to answer questions. It could protect me from the heavy rain, I told myself eventually. Looking at the people rushing through the street, I felt safe. This might be another reason.
It is always so. We know a thunderstorm comes unexpectedly and goes without a warning. The sky cleared up. The sun shone brightly. Just as usual, I seized the umbrella with my left hand. Still there’s water dropping down. I walked among the noisy crowd and listened to what they were murmuring in their heart. “Today I will ask for a rise, or I'll leave this company.” Good luck to you, I smiled to him. “I’ll manage to make you live forever.” A little boy held a pet dog close to him. “She’ll be all right, because she is blessed.” I heard angels singing in this city.
The moment my fingertips touched the umbrella, I felt it’s dry, and it’s warm. Soon it became hot. I held it up to avoid harmful sunshine. Do I need a reason to explain why? Maybe I should think about it. I need my umbrella when it is sunny as well as when it is rainy.
1.Which of the following words best describes the author?
A. Watchful. B. Hard-working.
C. Clever D. Strange
2. From the author's feelings with people among the noisy crowd, we can see that _____.
A. he is sensible enough to understand others’ murmur
B. he is sorry for people who can’t foresee their difficulties
C. he is warm-hearted even to care for unfamiliar people
D. he is kind enough to hope everyone will plan their life well
3.What’s the most suitable title for the passage?
A. Try to notice every passer-by.
B. Umbrellas are important.
C. Always be prepared.
D. Weather changes unexpectedly.
