Ⅴ.阅读理解
This month, science fiction magazine Lightspeed changed its normal publishing schedule to bring readers a special issue: “Women Destroy Science Fiction!”
It’s more than just a collection of stories entirely edited and written by women. It’s an exhibition of all the ways in which women are writing—and have written.
Many of the stories will be considered the best hard science fiction even by the pickiest critics(评论家). For example, Tananarive Due’s Like Daughter deals with what happens when humans have easy access to cloning. The Unfathomable Sisterhood of Ick by Charlie Jane Anders takes place in a future where changing brain chemistry is as common as taking vitamins now.
However, it is also true that the authors are more focused on the relations between people, or between people and society, or changing cultural and gender roles. There are stories that refuse to stay firmly within science fiction borders. For example, James Tiptree Jr.’s Love Is the Plan and the Plan Is Death is a mixture of horror, mystery and even love, something not commonly seen in science fiction.
So are women destroying science fiction?
If your idea of science fiction is limited to the concept formed by works like Isaac Asimov’s Nightfall and Arthur Charles Clarke’s Childhood’s End, then many of the stories within these pages may well seem like devastation.
“But the stories we read and the stories we tell shape who we are,” Pat Murphy once said in a famous speech back in 1991. “They also shape the culture they’re born into. Thus, if women keep writing such kind of science fiction, and keep calling it science fiction, the room for science fiction will expand. They will exist nicely beside other kinds of science fiction.”
I cannot agree more. Women have the right to create a space for themselves within science fiction—one filled with their dreams, experiences and realities.
( A )1.What is special about the latest edition of Lightspeed?
A.All the stories are written by female novelists.
B.It is a collection of the published love stories.
C.It has been well received by most of the critics.
D.Every story in it belongs to hard science fiction.
( D )2.Which of the following can be considered nonsciencefiction in a strict sense?
A.Like Daughter.
B.The Unfathomable Sisterhood of Ick.
C.Childhood’s End.
D.Love Is the Plan and the Plan Is Death.
( A )3.What does the underlined word “devastation” in Paragraph 6 mean?
A.Destruction. B.Progress.
C.Contribution. D.Reward.
( C )4.What did Pat Murphy mean in his speech?
A.Science fiction is an important part of our life.
B.Women are unsuitable to write science fiction.
C.The definition of science fiction should be expanded.
D.Science fiction should focus mainly on future technologies.
【语篇解读】 文章主要探讨了女性写的感性十足的科幻小说能否被称为科幻小说。
1.A 细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“It’s more than just a collection of stories entirely edited and written by women.(它不仅仅是由女性编辑和撰写的故事集。)”可知,所有的故事都是由女性小说家写的。故选A。
2.D 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“There are stories that refuse to stay firmly within science fiction borders. For example, James Tiptree Jr.’s Love Is the Plan and the Plan Is Death is a mixture of horror, mystery and even love, something not commonly seen in science fiction.(有些故事拒绝严格遵守科幻小说的界限。例如,小詹姆斯·提普垂里的《爱是计划,计划是死亡》是科幻小说中不常见的恐怖、神秘甚至爱情的混合体。)”可知,严格意义上讲,《爱是计划,计划是死亡》不能算科幻小说。故选D。
3.A 词义猜测题。根据第五段“So are women destroying science fiction? (女性在摧毁科幻小说吗?)”和第六段“If your idea of science fiction is limited to the concept formed by works like Isaac Asimov’s Nightfall and Arthur Charles Clarke’s Childhood’s End, then many of the stories within these pages may well seem like devastation.(如果你对科幻小说的理解仅限于艾萨克·阿西莫夫的《日暮》和亚瑟·查尔斯·克拉克的《童年的终结》等作品所形成的概念,那么这些书页中的许多故事可能看起来像是devastation。)”可知,画线句上文谈及女性也许在摧毁科幻小说,如果你对科幻小说的理解仅限正统科幻小说,那么女性写的科幻故事就是一种对科幻的毁灭,因此画线词与 destruction 为同义词。故选A。
4.C 推理判断题。根据第七段中Pat Murphy说的话中“Thus, if women keep writing such kind of science fiction, and keep calling it science fiction, the room for science fiction will expand. They will exist nicely beside other kinds of science fiction.(因此,如果女性继续写这样的科幻小说,并继续称其为科幻小说,科幻小说的空间就会扩大。它们将与其他类型的科幻小说完美地并存。)”可推断出,Pat Murphy 认为我们应该拓宽科幻小说的定义。故选C。

Ⅶ.语法填空
阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

Patches(贴片) placed on a person’s face detect muscle activity and then machine learning technology is used. The machine is able 2.__to_calculate__(calculate) whether or not the person has been telling lies. 3.__Invented__(invent) by Yael Hanein at Tel Aviv University in Israel, the machine showed success rate of 73 percent, implying it can catch liars with ease.
How would our facial expressions give 4.__away__ our lies? According to researchers from the University of British Columbia, Canada, some of the muscles in our faces change “behaviour” when we are lying. Liars 5.__usually__(usual) raise their eyebrows. They also blink a lot and hold 6.__their__(they) eyes closed longer. 7.__Closing__(close) the eyes is a way to buy time for the liar so that they can better perfect their story.
Liars often blush(脸红). Blood flows into the cheeks as they become nervous about the 8.__truth__(true) possibly being revealed.
Liars also have fake smiles. 9.__A__ real smile often causes the eyes to light up or become smaller. This is because more muscles are used 10.__when__ we are happy. A fake smile is often accompanied by “dead” eyes instead.
【语篇解读】 本文介绍了科学家们开发了一种新的人工智能机器,它可以通过分析人脸上的肌肉来判断他是否在说谎。
1.have developed 考查时态和主谓一致。句意:在过去的几年里,科学家们开发了一种新的人工智能技术,可以通过分析某人脸上的肌肉来判断他是否在说谎。结合时间状语“Over the past few years”可知,时态用现在完成时;主语为复数可数名词scientists,谓语动词用复数形式。故填have developed。
2.to calculate 考查非谓语动词。句意:这台机器能够计算出这个人是否一直在说谎。固定搭配be able to do sth,意为“能够做某事”。故填to calculate。
3.Invented 考查非谓语动词。句意:该机器由以色列特拉维夫大学的Yael Hanein发明,成功率为73%,这意味着它可以轻松地抓到说谎者。分析句子结构可知,主句的谓语动词为“showed”,因此invent需用非谓语动词形式,invent和其逻辑主语“the machine”之间为动宾关系,故用过去分词形式。位于句首,invented的首字母需大写。故填Invented。
4.away 考查副词。句意:我们的面部表情如何暴露我们的谎言?固定搭配give away意为“泄露;暴露”。故填away。
5.usually 考查副词。句意:说谎者通常会扬起眉毛。修饰动词raise,需用副词形式作状语。故填usually。
6.their 考查代词。句意:他们还经常眨眼,而且闭上他们眼睛的时间更长。空后为名词“eyes”,故空处应用形容词性物主代词作定语。故填their。
7.Closing 考查非谓语动词。句意:闭上眼睛是为说谎者争取时间的一种方式,这样他们就可以更好地完善他们的故事。空处为动名词短语作主语,表示一般性的行为;位于句首,closing的首字母需大写。故填Closing。
8.truth 考查名词。句意:当他们对真相可能被揭露感到紧张时,血液就会流入脸颊。根据空前的定冠词“the”可知,空处应用名词,true的名词形式为truth,为不可数名词。故填truth。
9.A 考查冠词。句意:真正的微笑通常会使眼睛发亮或变小。此处泛指一个真正的微笑,real 以辅音音素开头,且位于句首。故填A。
10.when 考查状语从句。句意:这是因为当我们快乐的时候会用到更多的肌肉。空处应填连词,引导时间状语从句。故填when。
