This is unfortunate because it demeans and (2) a worthwhile and even important literary endeavor. In (3)to this unwarranted stereotype, science fiction rarely emphasizes sex, and when it (4), it is more discreet than other contemporary fiction.(5), the basic interest of science fiction lies in the(6)between man and his technology and between man and the universe. Science fiction is a literature of change and a literature of the future, and while it would be foolish to(7)that science fiction is a major literary genre at this time, the(8)of human life that it considers make it well worth reading and studying for(9)other literary form does quite the same things.The question is: what is science fiction? And the answer(0)be, unfortunately, that there have been(1)attempts to consider this question at any length or with much seriousness; it may well be that science fiction will resist any comprehensive definition of its(12). To say this, however, does not mean that there are no ways of defining it, (13)that various facets of its totality cannot be clarified. To begin with, the following(14)should be helpful: science fiction is a literary subgenre which postulates a change (for human beings) from conditions as we know them and follows the(15)of these changes to a conclusion. Although this definition will necessarily be modified and(16), it covers much of the basic groundwork and provides a(17)of departure.The first pointthat science fiction is a literary subgenreis a very important one, but one which is often overlooked or(18)in most discussions of science fiction. Specifically, science fiction is cither a short story or a novel.(19)are only a few dramas which could be(20)science fiction, with Karel Capeks RUR (Russums Universal Robots)(21)the only one that is well-known; the body of poetry that might be labeled science fiction is only slightly larger. To say that science fiction is a subgenre of prose fiction is to say that it has all the basic characteristics and serves that same basic(22)in much the same way as prose fiction(23), that is, it shares a great deal with all other novels and short stories.Everything that can(24)about prose fiction, in general, applies to science fiction. Every piece of science fiction, (25)short story or novel, must have a narrator, a story, a plot, a setting, characters, language and theme. And(26)any prose, the themes of science fiction are concerned with(27)mans nature and experience in relation to the world around him. Themes in science fiction are constructed and(28)in exactly the same ways that themes are dealt with in any other kind of fiction. They are the result of a particular(29)of narrator, story, plot, character, setting, and language. In short, the reasons for reading and enjoying science fiction, and the ways of studying and analyzing it, are basically the same as they would(30)for any other story or novel.问题1选项A.expressionB.featureC.characterD.merit问题2选项A.desertsB.advocatesC.degradesD.reduces问题3选项A.regardB.contrastC.relationD.accordance问题4选项A.wasB.isC.didD.does问题5选项A.InsteadB.HoweverC.ThereforeD.Also问题6选项A.bondsB.communicationC.relationD.alliance问题7选项A.claimB.swearC.requestD.confirm问题8选项A.dimensionsB.walksC.aspectsD.roles问题9选项A.noneB.someC.anyD.no问题10选项A.shouldB.mustC.willD.cant问题11选项A.fewB.a

That would be great, wouldnt it?New “fake fat” products appeared on store shelves in the United States recently, but not everyone is happy about it. Makers of the products, which contain a compound called olestra, say food manufacturers can now eliminate fat from certain foods. Critics, however, say the new compound can rob the body of essential vitamins and nutrients and can also cause unpleasant side effects in some people. So its up to consumers to decide whether the new fat-free products taste good enough to keep eating.Chemists discovered olestra in the late 1960s, when they were searching for a fat that could be digested by infants more easily. Instead of finding the desired fat, the researchers created a fat than cant be digested at all.Normally, special chemicals in the intestines “grab” molecules of regular fat and break them down so they can be used by the body. A molecule of regular fat is made up of three molecules of substances called fatty acids.The fatty acids are absorbed by the intestines and bring with them the essential vitamins A, D, E and K. When fat molecules are present in the intestines with any of those vitamins, the vitamins attach to the molecules and are carried into the bloodstream.Olestra, which is made from six to eight molecules of fatty acids, is too large for the intestines to absorb. It just slides through the intestines without being broken down. Manufacturers say its that ability to slide unchanged through the intestines that makes olestra so valuable as a fat substitute. It provides consumers with the taste of regular fat without any bad effects on the body. But critics say olestra can prevent vitamins A, D, E, and K from being absorbed. It can also prevent the absorption of carotenoids, compounds that may reduce the risk of cancer, heart disease, etc.Manufacturers are adding vitamins A, D, E, and K as well as carotenoids to their products now. Even so, some nutritionists are still concerned that people might eat unlimited amounts of food made with the fat substitute without worrying about how many calories they are consuming.1.We learn from the passage that olestra is a substance that ( ).2.The result of the search for an easily digestible fat turned out to be ( ).3.Olestra is different from ordinary fats in that ( ).4.What is a possible negative effect of olestra according to some critics?5.Why are nutritionists concerned about adding vitamins to olestra?问题1选项A.contains plenty of nutrientsB.makes foods fat-free while keeping them deliciousC.makes foods easily digestibleD.renders foods caloric-free while retaining their vitamins问题2选项A.commercially uselessB.just as anticipatedC.somewhat controversialD.quite unexpected问题3选项A.it prevents excessive intake of vitaminsB.it helps reduce the incidence of heart diseaseC.it facilitates the absorption of vitamins by the bodyD.it passes through the intestines without being absorbed问题4选项A.It may increase the risk of cancer.B.It may impair the digestive system.C.It may affect the overall fat intake.D.It may spoil the consumers appetite.问题5选项A.It may lead to the over-consumption of vitamins.B.The function of the intestines may be weakened.C.People may be induced to eat more than is necessary.D.It may trigger a new wave of fake food production.【答案】第1题:B第2题:D第3题:D第4题:A第5题:C【解析】1.【试题解析】细节事实题。由题干关键词olestra可以定位到文章第六段中“It just slides through the intestines without being broken down.”中文翻译为:它(即奥利斯特拉)滑过肠道而不被分解,以及“It provides consumers with the taste of regular fat without any bad effects on the body.”中文翻译为:它(即奥利斯特拉)为消费者提供一般脂肪的味道而不对身体产生有害作用。可以得知B项“在让食品可口的同时,不让其含有脂肪”符合题意。2.【试题解析】细节事实题。由题干可以定位到原文第三段“Instead of finding the desired fat, the researchers created a fat than cant be digested at all.”中文翻译为:研究者没有发现期望的脂肪,相反他们创造了一种根本不被消化的脂肪。因此可知D选项“很意外的”为正确答案。3.【试题解析】细节事实题。由题干关键词olestra可以定位到文章第六段“It just slides through the intestines without being broken down.”中文翻译为:它(即奥利斯特拉)滑过肠道而不被分解。可以得知D选项“它穿过肠道而不被吸收”符合题意。4.【试题解析】推理判断题。由题干关键词olestra可以定位到文章第六段中“It can also prevent the absorption of carotenoids, compounds that may reduce the risk of cancer, heart disease, etc.”中文翻译为:它(即奥利斯特拉)也可能阻止类胡萝卜素的吸收,而该化合物可能降低忠癌症、心脏病等的风险。故选A“它可能增加患癌症的风险”。5.【试题解析】推理判断题。根据题干可以定位到文章尾段“Even so, some nutritionists are still concerned that people might eat unlimited amounts of food made with the fat substitute without worrying about how many calories they are consuming.”中文翻译为:即使如此,一些营养学家仍然担心人们可能在不用担心自己正消耗多少热量的情况下,无限制地吃用脂肪替代物制成的食品。判断出答案为C项“人们可能被引诱去吃多出需要的食品”。8.单选题The schoolmaster( )the girls bravery in his opening speech.问题1选项A.applaudedB.enhancedC.elevatedD.clapped【答案】A【解析】考查动词词义辨析。A选项applaud“赞同;称赞”;B选项enhance“提高;加强;增加”;C选项elevate“提高;举起;抬高”;D选项clap“拍手;鼓掌;轻轻拍打某人”。句意:校长在开幕致辞上称赞了这个女孩的勇敢行为。因此A选项正确。9.单选题A popular way of keeping fit is to go ( ), which is a kind of slow-to medium-paced running.问题1选项A.trottingB.saunteringC.strollingD.jogging【答案】D【解析】【试题解析】考查动词辨析。A选项trot“小跑”;B选项saunter“漫步;闲逛”;C选项stroll“漫步;闲逛;巡回演出”;D选项jog“慢跑;轻推,轻撞”。句意:保持健康的流行方式是去慢跑,其是一种缓慢到中等步伐的跑步。结合此处语境,D选项正确。10.单选题After a number of disagreements with the committee, the helpless chairman( ).问题1选项A.retiredB.dismissedC.desertedD.resigned【答案】D【解析】考查动词词义辨析。A选项retire“退休;离开;收回”;B选项dismiss“解散;解雇;不予理会”;C选项desert“遗弃;放弃;逃跑”;D选项resign“辞去职务;放弃;委托;使听从”。句意:在与委员会产生很多分歧后,这位无助的主席辞去了自己的职务。结合此处语义,D选项正确。
