Ada Palmer is a prfessr f Eurpean histry at the University f Chicag. Her science-fictin series, Terra Ignta, was inspired by 18th-century philsphers such as Vltaire and Didert. “I wanted t write a stry that Vltaire might have written if Vltaire had been able t read the last 70 years’ wrth f science fictin and have all f thse tls available(可获得的) fr his use,” Palmer says in a radi prgram called Geek’s Guide t the Galaxy.
Palmer says that Vltaire culd actually be cnsidered the first sci-fi writer, thanks t a shrt stry he wrte in 1752. “Vltaire has a shrt stry called Micrmégas, in which an alien frm Saturn and an alien frm a star near Sirius cme t Earth. They are extremely big in size. They explre Earth and have truble finding life frms because t them a whale is the size f a flea (跳蚤),” she says. They eventually realize that the tiny little spt f wd n the grund is a ship, and it’s full f living things, including humans, and they make cntact. S it’s a first-cntact stry.
Mary Shelley’s 1818 nvel Frankenstein is ften cnsidered the first sci-fi nvel. Vltaire was writing much earlier than Shelley, s shuld he have the title instead? It depends n yur definitin (定义) f science fictin. “Micrmégas desn’t invlve technlgy,” Palmer says, “s if yu define science fictin as depending upn technlgy—and being abut, in the sense f Frankenstein. ‘Is man’s knwledge giving us access t pwers beynd what we’ve had befre? What des that mean?’—it isn’t asking that. But ‘aliens and first cntact’ is a very significant science fictinal element.”
S there’s n bvius answer t the questin f wh shuld be cnsidered the first sci-fi writer. Palmer says it’s mre imprtant t ask the questin than t arrive at any particular answer. “I dn’t want t argue, ‘Yes, definitely, everybdy’s histry f science fictin shuld start with Vltaire,’” she says. “But I d want t argue that everybdy’s histry f science fictin will be richer by discussing whether Vltaire is the beginning f science fictin, r whether it’s earlier r whether it’s later, because that gets at the questin f what science fictin is.”
32.What d we knw abut Micrmégas accrding t the text?
A.It is widely accepted as a science-fictin stry.
B.It has a big influence n tday’s science fictin.
C.Its main characters have truble finding humans.
D.Its cntent is abut humans’ explratin f space.
33.Why des Ada Palmer regard Vltaire as a sci-fi writer?
A.One f his stries fcuses n technlgy.
B.His stry invlves aliens frm ther planets.
C.He described human-alien cntact in a stry.
D.Her science fictin was inspired by his writing.
34.What des Ada Palmer really want t discuss when it cmes t science fictin?
A.Its true rigin. B.What it can cver.
C.Its clurful expressins. D.Why it is interesting.
35.What can be a suitable title fr the text?
A.Ada Palmer and science fictin
B.Was Vltaire the first sci-fi authr?
C.Technlgy’s rle in science fictin
D.What is science fictin really abut?

33.C 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“But ‘aliens and first cntact’ is a very significant science fictinal element.”可知,Ada Palmer认为“外星人和首次接触”是一个非常重要的科幻元素,所以认为Micrmégas是科幻小说,从而认为伏尔泰是一位科幻作家。故选C。
34.C 推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可知,谈到科幻小说,Ada Palmer认为提出问题比得到特定的答案更重要,通过讨论问题,每个人的科幻历史都会更丰富,说明她更希望讨论多元化的表达,而不是为科幻小说或者第一个科幻小说家下定义。故选C。
35.B 主旨大意题。文章第一段介绍了Ada Palmer的科幻系列小说Terra Ignta受到了伏尔泰的启发。在第二段中,Ada Palmer认为伏尔泰实际上可以被视为第一位科幻作家,并介绍了他的一篇短篇小说Micrmégas。在第三段中,Ada Palmer提出问题——考虑到伏尔泰的写作时间早于Shelley,是否应该给他第一位科幻作家的头衔?在第四段中,Ada Palmer认为提出谁是第一位科幻小说家的问题比得到任何特定的答案更为重要。综上所述,本文主要讨论了伏尔泰是不是第一个科幻作家,以及通过讨论这个问题,能给读者带来的好处,所以B项“伏尔泰是第一个科幻作家吗?”适合作为本文标题。故选B。
第二节
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了自助书籍的作用。
36.B 细节句。根据空后的Hwever可知,设空处与空后一句是转折关系,空后一句提到自助书籍的信息和功能是无价的,B项“这些书可能定价很高”符合语境,故选B项。
37.D 过渡句。空前一句提到自助书籍很有帮助是因为它们有几个优点,后文提到希望和积极的期望的意义,所以设空处应该承上启下,指出给予希望和积极的期望是自助书籍的一个优点,D项“首先,它们建立希望和积极的期望”符合语境,其中hpe和psitive expectatins为原词复现。故选D项。
38.A 主旨句。根据Fr example可知,后文举例说明设空处的内容,设空处应是本段的主旨句。后文提到关于改变性格、克服害羞或其他问题的书籍是由社会学家或心理学家撰写的,关于如何在特定职业中取得成功的书籍通常是由那些有丰富现实生活经验的人写的,由此可知,自助书籍的作者都是专业人士,A项“自助书籍是由专家撰写的”符合语境。故选A项。
39.E 细节句。根据空前两句可知,自助书籍的作者都是专业人士,设空处位于段尾,应是对前文进行总结,E项“因此,(这)使自助书籍更加可信”与前文衔接紧密,符合语境。故选E项。
40.G 细节句。上文提到自助书籍帮助你打开思想和世界,让你从一个新的角度看事情,下文提到它可以帮助你重新审视自己的处境,激励你找到解决问题的新方法,由此可知,本段介绍自助书籍对思维的帮助,G项“这样,你就能用一种新的思维方式来理解事情”也是在说自助书籍对思维的作用,符合语境。故选G项。
