Gene Rodenberry,creator of Star Trek,once said,"Science fiction is a way of think- ing,a way of logic that bypasses()a lot of nonsense.It allows people to look directly at important subjects."A lifetime of science fiction has influenced more than just my rela- tionship with my dad,but has also helped me shape my own hopes for the future.I'm now a science writer.

A.The Wonders of Science B.The Power of Science Fiction C.The Versions of Science Fiction D.The Time Together with My Father C The "Father of Science Fiction,"Jules Verne,lived in the era of steamships and tele- graphs,but was able to imagine technologies that wouldn't be invented for over a century. Verne isn't the only science fiction writer to envision()inventions and cultural changes long before they became a part of everyday life.Aldous Huxley predicted antide- pressants in his novel Brave New World,published in 1932.John Brunner predicted elec- tric cars in his book,Stand on Zanzibar,published in 1968. But really,reading up on Verne's novels made me wonder how he was able to predict so much and write so technically when he wasn't a trained scientist,physicist or engineer. How did he do it? Like a lot of people,Verne's parents had their own ideas about his career.They had their hearts set on Verne becoming a lawyer.He knew he wanted to be a writer,but played along and went to school to become a lawyer like his father. Really,Verne was mostly pretending to study law in Paris while holing up in the Na- tional Library of France and poring over()articles on discoveries in geology and sci- ence.Eventually,he came clean with his family that he wanted to write in a new genre( that combined travel and science. While he studied scientific journals and let all of the age's cutting-edge discoveries feed the fires of his imagination,Verne surrounded himself with people who could be useful for his writing. 英语8-2 His brother was a naval officer,and Verne would often ask him to double-check what he had written about ships and maritime travel.He also asked his cousin,a math profes- sor,to look at his equations()and a mining engineer friend to help him with physics, according to author Walter James Miller,who wrote annotations()to Verne's Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea. "He predicted a lot of things that have happened,but that's because he was reading a lot and talking with people who knew what was going on in the world around him,so why should we be surprised?"according to Rosalind Williams,a historian at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT)."It wasn't magic.He was just paying attention to things, she said. 8.What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A.The achievements of Verne's novels. B.Science fiction writers'writing process. C.Examples of writers who predicted the future. D.The differences between Verne's works and other writers'works. 9.What do we know about Verne? A.He predicted electric cars. B.He lived up to his parents'expectations. C.He preferred studying law rather than geology. D.He spent most of his time reading about scientific discoveries. 10.Why did Verne surround himself with people who could be useful for his writing? A.He drew inspiration from them. B.He wanted to borrow money from them. C.He planned to create figures based on them. D.He asked them to check the scientific facts in his novels. 11.What did Rosalind Williams say about Verne? A.He succeeded because he put a lot of effort into his writing. B.He made a big contribution to technological advances. C.He made some mistakes in his novels. D.He predicted the future by chance. D Frankenstein,written by Mary Shelley,turned over 200 years old!It has been called the first true work of science fiction and the first English horror novel.The story has been told over and over again-not just in books,but in movies and television shows.To celebrate, New York City's Morgan Library &Museum has a special exhibit on the writer and the book. The reason for the success is that the biologist Frankenstein and his creature,the monster,live on in numerous remakes,shows,and even comic books. Mary Shelley's classic is one of the most famous horror stories of all time.But Fran- kenstein is so much more than that.It presents ideas or themes that are still important to- day.Knowing something about her suffering can help readers have a good knowledge of her work.Shelley wrote the book when she was only 18 years old.And it relates to her own sad life.Her mother died 10 days after she gave birth to her.She knew what it meant to be a child without a mother.It is no surprise that Shelley wrote a story about a motherless crea- ture,one that is very much alone in the world. Losing her mother shortly after her birth in 1797 was only part of her life story.Mary Shelley gave birth to four children,but only one child survived to adulthood. Around the age of 17,she fell in love with the poet Percy Shelley.The two writers got married in 1816.However,the marriage of Percy and Mary Shelley was short-lived.Her husband died in a sailing accident in 1822.She was still in her twenties when she became a widow.In some ways,it's not entirely surprising that she ended up with a story about a monster without a mother. 英语8-3 After the publication of Frankenstein,Mary Shelley continued to write.She died from brain cancer on February 1,1851.Her most important legacy is a monster that is still very much alive today. 12.What do we know about Frankenstein? A.It exists in different forms of art. B.It is romantic fiction. C.It is not popular with modern readers. D.It has been made into the most interesting science fiction movie. 13.What did Shelley and the monster have in common? A.They were quite creative. B.They felt lonely. C.They had the same character. D.They behaved badly at home. 14.Why did the author mention Shelley's suffering? A.To show pity for her. B.To introduce her to readers. C.To make readers understand her novel better.D.To show her difficulty in writing the novel. 15.What is the main idea of the text? A.Success comes from the struggle. 踪 B.Hardship creates a great person. C.Shelley's experiences contribute to the success of Frankenstein. D.Frankenstein comes into the market.
