Interestingly,his vision of the future has barely aged.For example,life in Sri Lanka inspired his 1979 novel,featuring a “space elevator”,a planet-to-space transportation system that would do away with the need for rocket travel.Those human settlements on Mars or Venus are decidedly behind schedule (we humans were expected to have set foot on both by 1980),and we’re still looking for the key that should have fully unlocked the languages of whales and dolphins by 1970. It’s a way of thinking that was likely fuelled by his inability to be anything other than utterly absorbed in all that interested him.At the very start of his career,he shared a flat on London’s Gray’s Inn Road with fellow science fiction writers who nicknamed him “Ego” because of his talent for turning out (关掉) distraction.Once he’d become a big enough name to be interviewed,he’d send journalists home loaded with research papers. He once said,“Trying to predict the future is a discouraging and risky occupation.” If a prediction sounds at all reasonable,technological progress is sure to leave it seeming “ridiculously conservative”.But if,by a miracle,a person were to be able to describe the future exactly as it will unfold,“His predictions will sound so absurd and far-fetched that everybody would laugh him to scorn (轻蔑).” 1.What can we infer from the first paragraph? A.Clarke is an imaginative science fiction writer. B.Clarke is crazy about the future devices. C.Clarke is expert at telling one’s fortune. D.Clarke is a rarely talented inventor. 2.The examples in paragraph 2 prove 　　　.  A.there is no need for rocket travel in future B.unlocking the languages of animals is ahead of time C.humans were expecting to settle on Mars by 1980 D.Clarke’s predictions still seem impossibly distant 3.Why was Clarke called “Ego” by his fellows? A.He could focus all his mind on something. B.He cared more about himself than others. C.He was absorbed in what interested him. D.He was proud of being a big name. 4.What does Clarke stress in the last paragraph? A.The rapid progress of technology. B.The absurdness of some predictions. C.The difficulty of predicting the future. D.The miracle of dependable predictions.

lips,and space stations.”可知,Arthur C.Clarke是一位科幻小说家,他在他的作品中成功预测了未来会出现的发明创造,由此可推测出,他是一位富有想象力的科幻小说家。故选A项。 2.D　推理判断题。第二段首句“Interestingly,his vision of the future has barely aged.”指出他的预测并没有过时。再据下文的“For example,life in Sri Lanka inspired his 1979 novel...unlocked the languages of whales and dolphins by 1970.”可知,他在小说中预测的“太空电梯”、火星或金星上的人类定居点、解锁鲸鱼和海豚的语言,这些东西在现在仍然没有实现,由此可推出,他的预测仍然似乎遥不可及。故选 D项。 3.C　推理判断题。根据文章第三段中的“At the very start of his career,he shared a flat on London’s Gray’s Inn Road with fellow science fiction writers who nicknamed him ‘Ego’ because of his talent for turning out(关掉) distraction.”可知,因为Clarke有排除分心的天赋,所以其他科幻小说家给他起了个绰号“Ego”。由此可推测出,他能够专注于感兴趣的东西。故选C项。 4.C　推理判断题。根据最后一段可知,预测未来是令人沮丧且有风险的工作,听起来合理的预测会被认为保守,而大胆预测则会被人认为荒谬。由此可推测出,预测未来并不容易。故选C项。 Ⅴ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者37年前上平面几何课的经历,Dalton老师鼓励作者勇敢表达自己的观点,这让作者受益匪浅。 1.B　根据上文的“I was a quiet kid.I neither got in much trouble nor got”可知,作者是一个安静的孩子,所以既不会惹麻烦也不会被注意到。故选B项。 2.D　根据下文“I completed 24 problems quickly”可知,作者很快地完成24道题,说明作者突然明白Dalton老师的平面几何课。故选D项。 3.A　根据下文“gave us a 25-question true/false nationally standardized test”可知,Dalton老师组织了一次测试,目的是评估一下学生们的知识。故选A项。 4.D　根据上文“The test presented each problem with a conclusion shown.”和下文“the result using our theorems”“I spent thirty minutes on that proof”可知,测试题先给出了结论,然后要求学生用定理去证明它。故选D项。 5.C　根据下文“I spent thirty minutes on that proof”可知,作者花了30分钟来证明第17题,所以此处表示第17题是一个棘手的问题。故选C项。 6.A　根据上文“I spent thirty minutes on that proof”和下文“I made it with all my efforts”可知,作者花了30分钟来证明,所以此处表示最终作者成功了。故选A项。 7.C　根据上文“I made it with all my efforts”可知,作者最终证明出来了,所以此处表示作者很满意。故选C项。 8.B　根据上文“my score was a 96”可知,作者的分数是96分,所以此处表示第17题被记错,导致作者丢分。故选B项。 9.B　根据上文“my score was a 96,and number seventeen was 　　　wrong!When Mr Dalton asked if there were any questions,for the first time,my hand ”可知,作者对自己的分数有疑问,所以此处表示作者第一次举手提问。故选B项。  10.D　根据下文“that this was a nationally standardized test...with an encouraging smile on his face”可知,Dalton先生鼓励作者上前证明,所以他没有争辩,而是给了作者机会。故选D项。 11.B　根据下文“using the whole board and three different colors of chalk”可知,Dalton老师把粉笔递给了作者,让作者去黑板上写解析。故选B项。 12.A　根据下文“my proof”可知,此处表示作者走到黑板前证明自己的答案。故选A项。 13.C　根据下文“I ended up with a grade of 104”可知,Dalton先生认可了作者的答案,作者的分数变成了104分,所以Dalton先生为作者的第17题答案给了作者学分。故选C项。 14.B　根据下文“Alzheimer’s”可知,阿尔茨海默症侵蚀了Dalton先生的大脑。故选B项。 15.C　根据下文“allowing me to challenge his authority and empowering me to speak up as long as I think I’m right”可知,Dalton先生允许作者挑战他的权威,作者很感激他。故选C项。 Ⅵ.1.As/When　2.possibilities　3.at　4.showing　5.are
