Perhaps you would watch an original performance of a Shakespeare’s play in Elizabethan England?What about hanging out with Laozi in the Spring and Autumn Period? Or maybe you’d voyage far ahead of the present day to see what the future holds. The possibility of time travel is indeed appealing. Stories exploring the subject have been around for hundreds of years. Perhaps the best known example is science fiction novel The Time Machine, which was written by H.G. Wells and published in 1895 for the first time. It was adapted into at least two feature films of the same name, as well as two television versions, and a large number of comic book adaptations. It is generally credited with the popularization of the concept of time travel using a vehicle that allows an operator to travel purposefully and selectively. The term “time machine”, coined 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 propose 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 physicist Stephen Hawking says you could travel into the future with a really fast spaceship—going at nearly the speed of light. Though building such a spaceship would of course be no simple task.Even if you could travel into the past, there is something called the “grandfather paradox”. 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 future?In H.G.Wells’ book, the main character travels into distant time where he arrives at a beach and is attacked by giant crabs. He then voyages 30 million years into the future where the only living thing is a black object with tentacles(触角).If that’s what’s in store,maybe we are better just living in the present day after all.【语篇解读】时光穿梭可能实现吗?有些科学家认为理论上是可能的。【答案】A D C B 1.The novel The Time Machine mentioned in Paragraph 2 aims to show 　　　. A.people’s interest in time travelB.the special feature of the bookC.the long history of time travelD.the contribution of H.G.Wells【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The possibility of time travel is indeed appealing”可知,时光穿梭的可能性的确是很吸引人,所以选A项。2.Einstein’s and Hawking’s theories 　　　. A.have similarities in many waysB.push the invention of the first spaceshipC.have proved wrong by some time travelersD.suggest the possibility to invent the time machine【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段提到的“Einstein’s theory of relativity allows time travel in extreme circumstances.And British physicist Stephen Hawking says you could travel into the future with a really fast spaceship—going at nearly the speed of light”可知,爱因斯坦的相对论允许在极端的环境下时光穿梭;英国物理学家斯蒂芬·霍金说你可以用快速的宇宙飞船到未来旅行。由此可知,两个人的理论证明了时间旅行的可能性,所以选D项。3.In Paragraph 4,“grandfather paradox” probably refers to the idea that 　　　. A.the traveler is prevented from meeting his grandfatherB.the traveler goes back in time to seek for his grandfatherC.the grandfather’s death makes the traveler’s birth impossibleD.The reunion of the traveler and his grandfather brings happiness【解析】推理判断题。根据第四段提到的“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”可知,如果时光穿梭者回到过去,他的祖父因为某种原因而被杀死,那么时光旅行者就无法出生。如果时光旅行者没有出生,他怎么回到过去?所以选C项。4.What is probably the author’s attitude towards time travel?A.Unclear. B.Skeptical. C.Supportive. D.Unconcerned.【解析】推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“If that’s what’s in store,maybe we are better just living in the present day after all”可知,如果这样的事情发生,我们还是最好活在现在,所以作者对时光穿梭持怀疑的态度,所以选B项。Ⅴ.七选五The man who could see the futureThe ability to predict the future is a rare talent. American author Isaac Asimov (1920—1992),one of the great science fiction writers of his age, had such a talent.　5　 Now that we’re here, let’s see what he got right. 　6　 Asimov thought computers would cause a revolution comparable to the industrial revolution of the 19th century. Specifically, he said that “mobile computerized objects” would be an important part of everyday life. Here, he clearly predicted our world of smartphones, tables and other devices. He also had a great deal to say about space exploration.　7　 How did Asimov develop his special sense of future developments?　8　 He read the newspapers and magazines sold in his parents’ candy store. His scientific interest gained sharper focus at Columbia University in New York. Asimov went to study chemistry, but became bored with pure laboratory science. Instead, he thought hard about the social implications(作用) of science. He wanted to communicate his ideas to the public. 　9　 Asimov had his finger on the pulse(脉搏)of both scientific and social change. He had a clear vision of what was coming around the corner for humanity in his works like the Galactic Empire series(《银河帝国系列》).“His predictions are absolutely fascinating,” Calum Chase,an English writer, told BBC News. “He was a genius.” A.As a smart boy, Asimov taught himself to read at the age of five.B. Space exploration really can make our life more convenient and comfortable.C.Back in 1983,he was asked to predict what the world would look like in 2019.D. On the role that computing would play in the future, he was amazingly accurate.E. Asimov has developed a great interest in computer programming since childhood.F.As an author, his books would feature the theme of social change caused by technology.G. The International Space Station proves his prediction that we would not simply visit space but seek to stay there.这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了科幻大师阿西莫夫和他的预言的准确性以及他是如何培养他对未来发展的特殊意识的。【答案】CDGAF【解析】5.C　上文提到“美国作家艾萨克·阿西莫夫是他那个时代最伟大的科幻作家之一,他有这样一种天赋”;下文提到“让我们看看他预测对了什么”。由此可知,空格处在本段中起承上启下的作用。故C选项“早在1983年,他就被要求预测2019年的世界会是什么样子”承上启下。6.D　根据“Asimov thought computers would cause a revolution comparable to the industrial revolution of the 19th century”可知,阿西莫夫认为计算机将引发一场与19世纪工业革命相当的革命。D项“关于计算机在未来将所扮演的角色,他惊人准确地预测了”是说明他预测的计算机的结果,与本段内容符合。7.G　根据“He also had a great deal to say about space exploration”可知,关于太空探索,他也预测了。所以空格处要接着说他预言的结果。故G选项“国际空间站证明了他的预言,我们不仅要拜访太空,还要设法留在那里”与太空探索相关,且是预测结果。8.A　根据“He read the newspapers and magazines sold in his parents’ candy store”可知,他读了父母糖果店出售的报纸和杂志。所以空格处要与下一句一起来说明阿西莫夫是如何培养他对未来发展的特殊意识的。故A选项“作为一个聪明的男孩,阿西莫夫在五岁时就开始自学”承上启下。9.F　阅读本段可知,本段主要在说作为一名作家,他的书以科技引起的社会变革为主题,故选F项。VI完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分） Madison Williams, aged 13 ,was studying in her bedroom in Dublin, Ohio.
