选修6Unit 16Stories能力提升题组训练(A).阅读(2019吉林东北师大附中高三三模)The science fiction type of entertainment is considered by most to be fathered by Jules Verne (A Journey to the Center of the Earth and Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea) and H.G.Wells (The Time Machine and The War of the Worlds).Sci-Fi,as it is commonly shortened,is a fictional story in which science and technology have a significant influence on the characters and plot.Many such works are guesswork about what the future holds and how scientific findings and technological advances will shape humankind.Writing in the late 1800s,Jules Verne was remarkably successful in his 10 guesses about future technologies of air conditioning,automobiles,the Internet,television,and underwater,air,and space travel.Unbelievably,of all places from which to choose,Jules Verne guessed Tampa,Florida,USA as the launching site of the first project to the Moon,which was only 200 kilometers away from the actual 1969 location at Cape Canaveral,Florida.One of the best-known science fiction books is Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell.Published in 1949,it was not meant as a prediction,but as a warning: Orwell was describing what he saw as the outcome of the ideas,trends,and emerging technologies of his time.Many invented terms from this novel have become common in everyday use,such as “big brother” and “doublethink”.Even the authors name has been made into an adjectiveOrwellianand has become a warning descriptor for situations where privacy is lost and the individual has no power and is completely controlled by the government.Nineteen Eighty-Four was translated into sixty-five languages within five years of its publication,setting a record that still stands.What helps bring science fiction into being is usually a new discovery or innovation.The author creates an analysis of the potential influence and consequences and then wraps it in a pleasant story.For example,the beginning of space exploration was followed a few years later by the Star Trek television program and movie series.The science fiction authors self-determined role is to search the world of future possibilities upon the road which we are traveling.1.From the first paragraph,we know that science fiction might be .A.a forecast of how a new discovery could influence mankindB.a brief review of the present drawbacks of technologyC.a thoughtful look at the past and a prediction of the futureD.an analysis of how a new technology could be used to harm human.2.Which of the following best describes Nineteen Eighty-Four?A.A prediction of future technologies.B.A warning of unfair and cruel ruling.C.The motive of scientific development.D.An imaginary perfect world of freedom.3.From the passage we can learn that .A.H.G.Wells predicted the Internet in the late 1800sB.Nineteen Eighty-Four adopted some popular termsC.Star Trek movie series were based on space explorationD.Cape Canaveral was mentioned in Jules Vernes fiction4.According to the author,what is the role of science fiction in society?A.A reference of technology.B.A moral compass.C.A record of science development.D.A form of thinking about possibilities.语篇解读:本文是说明文。介绍了过去的几部科幻小说对未来的预测和对人类的影响。答案及剖析:1.A细节理解题。根据第一段中的Many such works are guesswork about what the future holds and how scientific findings and technological advances will shape humankind.可知,科幻小说主要是对未来的预测和对人类的影响,故选A。 2.B细节理解题。根据第三段中的it was not meant as a prediction,but as a warning 以及Even the authors name has been made into an adjectiveOrwellianand has become a warning descriptor for situations where privacy is lost and the individual has no power and is completely controlled by the government.可知,这部小说是对社会上的不公平和残酷制度的一种警告,故选B。3.C细节理解题。根据最后一段中的For example,the beginning of space exploration was followed a few years later by the Star Trek television program and movie series.可知,星际迷航系列就是以太空探险为原形的,故选C。4.D推理判断题。根据文章最后一句The science fiction authors self-determined role is to search the world of future possibilities upon the road which we are traveling.可知,作者认为科幻小说是对未来可能性的一种推测,故选D。.七选五(2019河北唐山高三一模)Children who have developed leadership skills are sure to have a bright future.1.

plants.The scientists are working with several universities and research centers as part of a group called SUBCULTRON.The European Union gives money to the project as part of its Horizon 2020 program whose aim is to take great ideas from the lab to the market and support science and innovation(创新) in Europe,and the scientists want to use the artificial intelligence of the robots to help humans understand what is happening under the water of the Venice Lagoon(泻湖) as well.SUBCULTRON,a collective artificial intelligence project,plans to create the biggest shoal(鱼群) of robot fish in the world.The projects aim is to improve knowledge of the seabed and try to turn human abilities into hi-tech items.Alexandre Campo,a computer scientist,says the scientists have looked at the way animals learn to work in groups to understand how robots can learn to work together.The SUBCULTRON project wants its robots to learn to work together so they can watch out for changes and new problems in the water.One problem the researchers had in the beginning was how the robots would communicate with each other.Another problem was charging batteries.The robots come up to the waters surface and stay near a boat or a power station to charge without any electrical cables.The health state of the Lagoon is pretty good.There are no industrial polluters,and the city now has a modern sewer(污水管)system.The robots in Venice will continue their work.The SUBCULTRON project hopes they develop into “an artificial society underneath the water surface” that serves “a human society above the water”.4.What can we learn about the project in Paragraph 1?A.Its researchers are all from universities.B.The European Union has financially supported it.C.It uses robots to clean the waters in and around Venice.D.It is aimed to support science and innovation worldwide.5.What can we infer according to Alexandre Campo?A.Scientists have got an idea f
