I,A,[语篇解读]这是一篇说明文。人类一直对时间
旅行很感兴趣,从理论上来说时间旅行是可以的,但是
时间旅行未必是好事。
1.D[考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“The possibili-
ty of time travel is indeed appealing.Stories exploring
the subject have been around for hundreds of years..
published in 1895 for the first time”可知,时间旅行的
可能性确实很吸引人,探索这个主题的故事已经出现
几百年了。小说The Time Machine就是一个例子。
由此可知,在第二段中提到这部小说就是想表明人们
对时间旅行的兴趣。故D选项正确。]
2.A[考查细节理解。根据第三段中的“Einstein's
theory of relativity allows time travel in extreme cir-
cumstances...with a really fast spaceship going at
nearly the speed of light'”可知,爱因斯坦的相对论使
得在极端情况下可以进行时间旅行,霍金说你可以用
一艘非常快的宇宙飞船以接近光速的速度到未来旅
行。由此可知,爱因斯坦和霍金的理论证明了时间旅
行的可能性。故A选项正确。]
3.B[考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段内容可知,
“grandfather paradox”指的是如果一个时间旅行者回
到过去,由于某种原因杀死了他的祖父,那么时间旅
行者就无法出生。故B选项正确。]
4.A「考查观点态度。根据最后一段中的“If that's
what's in store.,day after all”可知,作者认为也许我
们还是活在当下更好。由此可知,作者对时间旅行存
在怀疑。故A选项正确。]
B.[语篇解读]这是一篇说明文。随着科学技术的不
断发展,机器能做的事情越来越多。它们不仅能帮人类
干活,甚至在某种程度上还能代替牧羊犬放牧。
5.B[考查词义猜测。由画线部分所在句可知,DJI
Mavic Enterprise无人机有一个功能,它可以让机器
录下声音,并通过扩音器播放。由上文中的“The ro-
bots have not replaced the dogs entirely,Radio New

答案
Zealand reports,but they have appropriated )one
of the animal's most powerful tools:barking”可知,这
种机器人已经盗用了狗的最有效的工具之一:犬吠。
由此可推知,此处表示这种机器人可以模仿狗。故
选B。]
6.C[考查细节理解。根据第四段的第二句可知,这些
机器人可以让农民从远处监测土地、水和投饲量,并
在不打扰动物的情况下检查它们的健康状况,由此可
知,无人机是多功能的且不会打扰到动物,故选C。]
7.D[考查细节理解。根据最后一段可知,目前仍然需
要牧羊犬,主要是因为它们的寿命比无人机长,可以
在恶劣天气下工作,不需要每隔几个小时充一次电,
故D项符合题意。」
8.B[考查观点态度。本文介绍了在新西兰,农民使用
无人机放牧和监测牛羊的事实,并没有夹杂作者个人
的观点,客观地表达了无人机的优缺,点,故选B。]
Ⅱ.[语篇解读]本文讲述未来人们到月球旅行的可能
性,以及所需要的各种设施。
1.D[上文介绍了一家日本公司就组织月球旅行进行
了数年的研究,因而承接下文的是D项。实现这一愿
望有可能就在随后的十年里。]
2.C[文章2、3、4段分别介绍了实现月球旅行的三个
步骤(stage)3、4段分别为next stage和final stage.

Time Travel
If you could travel in time,where would
you go?Perhaps you would watch an original
performance of a Shakespeare's play in Elizabe-
than England.What about hanging out with
Laozi in the Spring and Autumn Period?Or
世英语
maybe you'd voyage far ahead of the present
day to see what the future holds.
间
The possibility of time travel is indeed ap-
纠错空间
pealing.Stories exploring the subject have been
around for hundreds of years.Perhaps the best
known example is science fiction The Time Ma-
chine,which was written by H.G.Wells and
published in 1895 for the first time.It was
adapted for at least two feature films of the
same name,as well as two television versions,
and a large number of comic book adaptations.
The term“time machine'”,invented by Wells,
is now universally used to refer to a vehicle
transporting people into the far future.
But could time travel actually be possible?
Some scientists say yes,in theory.They pro-
pose using cracks in time and space called
"wormholes",which could be used as shortcuts to
other periods.Einstein's theory of relativity allows
time travel in extreme circumstances.And British
theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking says you
方法总结
could travel into the future with a really fast
spaceship going at nearly the speed of light.
Even if you could travel into the past,
there is something called the "grandfather para-
dox".It asks what would happen if a time
traveler were to go back in time and have his
own grandfather killed for some reason,and
therefore prevent himself from being born.If
the time traveler wasn't born,how would he
travel back in time?
And would you really like to visit the fu-
ture?In H.G.Wells'book,the main character
travels into distant time.He arrives at a beach
where he is attacked by giant crabs.He then
voyages 30 million years into the future where
the only living thing is a black object with ten-
tacles(触角).If that's what's in store,maybe
we are better just living in the present day after
all.
1.Why is the novel The Time Machine mentioned in
Paragraph 2?
A.To praise the contribution of H.G.Wells.
B.To state the story's different features.
C.To prove the long history of time travel.
D.To show people's interest in time travel.
选择性必修第四册
2.What can we know about Einstein's and
Hawking's theories?
A.There is the possibility to invent the time
machine.
B.They push the invention of the first space-
ship.
C.They have been proved wrong by some
time travelers.
D.There are differences in many ways be-
tween them.
3.What does the“grandfather paradox”in Par
agraph 4 refer to?
A.The traveler is prevented from meeting his
grandfather.
B.The grandfather's death makes the traveler's
birth impossible.
C.The traveler goes back in time to seek for
his grandfather.
D.The reunion of the traveler and his grand-
father brings happiness.
4.According to the passage,what is probably
the author's attitude towards time travel?
A.Skeptical.
B.Unclear.
C.Supportive.
D.Unconcerned.
B
You have probably read about robots repla-
cing human labour as a new era of automation
takes root in one industry after another.How-
ever,a new report suggests humans are not the
only ones who might lose their jobs.
In New Zealand,farmers are using drones
(无人机)to herd and monitor cows and sheep,
taking up the position that highly intelligent
dogs have held for more than a century.The
robots have not replaced the dogs entirely,Ra-
dio New Zealand reports,but they have appro-
priated(盗用)one of the animal's most power-
ful tools:barking.The DJI Mavic Enterprise,a
3,500 drone favored by farmers,has a fea-
ture that lets the machine record sounds and
play them over a loudspeaker,giving the ma-
chine the ability to imitate its canine counter-
parts.
Corey Lambeth,a shepherd on a farm,told
RNZ the machines are surprisingly effective."That's
the one thing I've noticed that when you're mov-
ing cows the old cows stand up to the dogs,but
UNIT 1 SCIENCE FICTION
with the drones,they've never done that,he
said,noting the drones move cows faster,with
less stress,than the dogs do.
The drones come in handy for more than
just herding cows and sheep.The robots allow
farmers to monitor their land from afar,moni-
toring water and feed levels and checking on the
animals'health without disturbing them.Jason
Rentoul told RNZ that a two-hour herding job
that used to require two people and two teams
of dogs could be accomplished in 45 minutes u-
sing a single drone."On a hilly farm where a
lot of stuff is done by farmers on foot,the
drones really save a lot of man hours,he said.
For now,farmers say,there is still a need
for herding dogs,primarily because they have a
longer lifespan than drones,can work in bad
weather and do not require an electrical socket
every few hours to recharge.
5.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2
refer to?
A.Farmers.
B.Dogs.
C.Sheep.
D.Loudspeakers.
6.Which of the following statements is suppor-
ted by the passage?
A.Herding dogs will gradually lose their po-
sition on the farmland.
B.The drones can help monitor weather con-
ditions with the current technology.
C.The drones are multifunctional and leave
the animals undisturbed.
D.The market for the DJI Mavic Enterprise is
pretty small because of its high price.
7.Why can't the drones replace the dogs entirely?
A.The drones can't bark as loudly as the
dogs do
B.Cows are not used to seeing the drones.
C.The drones are much more expensive.
D.The drones'power is limited and they need
charging.
8.What is the author's attitude towards the
drones in the passage?
A.Supportive.
B.Objective.
C.Critical.
D.Doubtful.
Ⅱ.阅读填句
Fancy a holiday to the moon?Sounds cra-
zy?Not really.A Japanese company has been
working on how to organize holidays to the
moon for several years now.1

Trying to make the holiday possible will
not be an easy task,and the Japanese company
plans to make it in stages.2 A transport

system,like the space shuttle(航天飞机)used
纠错空间
by NASA,at the moment is likely to be devel-
oped for this purpose.
The next stage is to build a big hotel orbit-
ing 500 km above the earth.The hotel will or-
bit the earth once every four or five hours,
which will offer visitors some fascinating views
年44号年11号月月卡5号月开444号开行
of the earth.3 While this may not seem
very exciting at first,think about new sports
that can be designed for people to play in zero
gravity.
The final stage in the plan is the construc-
tion of a hotel on the surface of the moon itself.
As solar energy would be used to provide pow-
er,it would be important to build the hotel near
one of the poles of the moon in order to gather
as much solar energy as possible.4 It is al-
so important to find a part of the moon which is
flat,as a long runway will need to be built for

the space shuttle to land on.Meanwhile,the
company has already developed ways to make
cement(水泥)on the moon.5_The compa-
ny plans to produce water from oxygen ele-

ments,which can be found in moon rocks,and
hydrogen(氢),which will have to be imported
from earth.
So perhaps in a few years you might be en-
joying yourselves on the moon.

A.Next,the hotel will have a wide range of
sporting activities.
B.Tourists who want to travel into space can
stay at a big hotel.
C.The first thing to do is to organize trips
around the earth for a few hours.
D.There would probably be holidays to a moon
hotel within the next ten years.
E.There is plenty of sand,but the big problem
will come with producing water.

F.This part of the development plan does not
seem to be too difficult to carry out.
