He couldn't just ignore the warning. He went to the town's public library and spent hours researching both chemical plants and solar farms, gathering facts about environmental impact and economic benefits. He compiled his findings into a clear, one-page report. Then, with a pounding heart, he emailed the report to every town council member he could find an address for, introducing himself as a concerned student. He mentioned the book only as "a source of inspiration," focusing instead on the solid evidence he had collected. Paragraph 2: The day of the council vote arrived, and Leo stood outside the town hall, holding the mysterious book. To his surprise, a local reporter approached him, having heard about a student's passionate research. Nervously, Leo shared his story about the book and his fears for "Future B." The reporter was skeptical but intrigued. When the council members filed in, one of them, an elderly woman, stopped. She looked at Leo and his book, smiled softly, and said, "I received your email. Well-researched." She then walked inside. Leo didn't know if his actions would change anything, but he felt he had turned the book's passive warning into real-world action. 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ Unit1 Science Fiction单元测试卷 考试时间：90分钟 总分：100分 班级： 姓名： 学号： 第一部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（共12小题；每小题2.5分，满分30分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A Science fiction, often called "sci-fi", is more than just stories about robots and spaceships. It is a mirror that reflects our hopes and fears about the future. By imagining worlds shaped by new technologies or scientific discoveries, science fiction allows us to explore "what if" questions in a safe, fictional space. For example, stories about artificial intelligence often discuss the ethics of creating thinking machines, while tales of climate disaster warn us about the consequences of ignoring our planet. Thus, sci-fi is not an escape from reality, but a tool to better understand it and ourselves. 1. What is the main purpose of science fiction according to the author? A. To provide an escape from daily life. B. To predict the future with perfect accuracy. C. To explore the implications of science and technology on society. D. To teach readers complex scientific facts. 2. The phrase "a mirror that reflects" in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to: A. A tool that predicts. B. A surface that shows an image. C. A barrier that separates. D. A light that illuminates. 3. Why does the author mention stories about artificial intelligence and climate disaster? A. To prove that sci-fi is more popular than other genres. B. To give examples of how sci-fi tackles real-world issues. C. To argue that these are the only important sci-fi themes. D. To show that sci-fi writers are usually scientists. B I was 12 when I first read "The Time Machine" by H.G. Wells. The concept was simple yet mind-blowing: a scientist invents a machine that can travel through time. He journeys to the distant future and finds a world divided into two species: the gentle but weak Eloi and the monstrous, subterranean Morlocks. But the story wasn't just an adventure. It made me think deeply about social class, evolution, and the ultimate fate of humanity. Wells used a fantastical premise to criticize the social divisions of his own Victorian era. That book did more than entertain me; it opened my eyes to the power of literature to question and critique. It sparked a lifelong love for stories that use imagination to illuminate truth. 4. What is the main reason the author appreciated "The Time Machine"? A. It was the first science fiction book he ever read. B. It contained exciting descriptions of future technology. C. It used an imaginative story to explore serious social ideas. D. It accurately predicted the problems of the future. 5. According to the passage, the two species in the future world represent: A. Different planets in the solar system. B. The past and the present of humanity. C. The division between social classes. D. The conflict between humans and machines. 6. What lasting impact did the book have on the author? A. He decided to become a scientist. B. He developed a fear of the future. C. He learned to appreciate literature that questions reality. D. He started writing his own science fiction novels. C The term "science fiction" encompasses a wide range of stories, but they generally share one core element: speculation based on logical scientific or technological principles. This is what distinguishes it from pure fantasy. For instance, a story about a wizard casting a spell is fantasy. A story about a person using a genetic engineering kit to modify their own DNA is science fiction—it extrapolates from existing science. Science fiction can be "hard" or "soft". Hard sci-fi focuses intensely on scientific accuracy and technical detail. Authors like Arthur C. Clarke, who co-wrote the screenplay for *2001: A Space Odyssey*, are known for this approach. Soft sci-fi places greater emphasis on human characters, society, and psychology, using science more as a backdrop. Ursula K. Le Guin's works, which often explore anthropological themes on alien worlds, are prime examples. Both sub-genres are valuable, offering different paths to explore the human experience in the face of change. 7. What is the key feature that defines science fiction? A. Stories set in the future or in space. B. The presence of aliens or robots. C. Speculation rooted in scientific possibility. D. Complex and unpredictable plots. 8. How does the author distinguish science fiction from fantasy? A. By the quality of the writing. B. By the time period in which it is set. C. By its reliance on logical scientific principles. D. By its popularity among readers. 9. According to the passage, Ursula K. Le Guin's work is an example of: A. Hard sci-fi focused on technical accuracy. B. Fantasy unrelated to science. C. Soft sci-fi exploring social and psychological themes. D. Historical fiction with scientific elements. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Science fiction has a remarkable track record of inspiring real-world innovation. Many scientists and engineers credit sci-fi with sparking their initial interest in science. 10. ____ Perhaps the most famous example is the communicator from Star Trek. 11. ____ In the 1990s, the inventor of the first flip phone explicitly stated that the show's device was his inspiration. Similarly, concepts for tablets, voice-controlled computers (like Alexa or Siri), and even video calling were commonplace in sci-fi decades before they became reality. This relationship is a two-way street. 12. ____ As our understanding of quantum physics grows, stories about quantum computing and parallel universes become more sophisticated. The discovery of exoplanets has fueled countless new narratives about alien life. So, is science fiction a prediction of the future? Not exactly. 13. ____ It presents possible futures based on current trends. Sometimes it gets the details wrong, but often it gets the direction right. More importantly, it shapes our collective imagination. By vividly depicting a future with certain technologies, it makes society more receptive to them and even directs research toward making them real. 14. ____ A. It was a handheld device used for wireless communication. B. Sci-fi writers often strive for absolute scientific accuracy. C. It is more like a thought experiment or a warning. D. Science also provides new ideas for science fiction. E. Therefore, sci-fi's greatest power may be as an engine of inspiration. F. Modern scientists have little interest in fictional stories. G. The genre's imaginative ideas often plant seeds in the minds of future creators. 第二部分：语言知识运用（共两节，满分35分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1.5分，满分22.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 My grandfather was an aerospace engineer, but on weekends, he transformed.

Among the dusty shelves, Leo found a book with no title, bound in strange, metallic leather. As he opened it, the pages were blank at first. Then, words began to appear, as if being written in real time by an invisible hand. "Hello, Leo," the first sentence read. "Do not be alarmed. I am a chronicle from a possible future." Intrigued, Leo took the book home. That night, under his desk lamp, the book presented a story. It described his own town, but fifty years in the future. It was a thriving, green city with clean energy and harmony. However, the book stated this was only one possible future, "Future A." It mentioned a crucial decision point happening next week: the town council would vote on whether to build a large chemical plant or a solar energy farm. The book warned that the plant would lead to "Future B," a polluted, struggling version of the town. Leo was stunned. Could this be true? He was just a high school student. Who would believe him? Paragraph 1: The next morning, Leo decided he had to try. Paragraph 2: The day of the council vote arrived, and Leo stood outside the town hall, holding the mysterious book. 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
