Jeremy Fox, a retired businessman in a small city in England, recently bought an old farmhouse with a yard and a small field, some five miles out of the town. There he planned to lead a simple life with his wife, Amelia.

It was while clearing out the old barn on the far side of the yard that he made an interesting discovery. In a corner, under some old sacks, he found some large fragments (碎片) of an antique (古董) bowl. Out of curiosity, he took them into the kitchen and, much to the anger of his wife, washed the mud off them. That evening he spread newspapers over the kitchen table and carefully stuck the fragments together. However, two pieces were found missing.

Two days later, having pulled down the barn, Mr. Fox was digging over the ground in preparation for the installation (安装) of a greenhouse, when he discovered the two missing pieces. When he had stuck them in position, the bowl looked so fine that Amelia agreed to its being placed on a table in the living room, in front of the window.

“We might have something a bit special here,” he said to his wife. A few days later, Jeremy took several photographs of the bowl, which he sent off to Sotheby’s in London.

Unexpectedly, Sotheby’s was extremely interested in the bowl and sent an expert to inspect it. It turned out that it was a Chinese Ming fish bowl, dating back to around 1500, and might be expected to get a five-figure sum at an auction.

A week later still more unexpectedly, two police officers called and told the Foxes the bowl was stolen property.

So the bowl never reached the auction room, and Mr. Fox never received the five-figure sum that had been mentioned. However, he framed one of the photographs he had taken and hung it on the wall.

A. greatly annoyed at Mr. Fox’s enthusiasm

B. very much interested in the discovery

C. out of the old barn D. under the ground

43. Most likely “Sotheby’s” was ________.

A. an antique shop B. a friend of Mr. Fox’s

C. an artist D. a china store

44. According to the expert, the bowl could be sold at the price of ________.

A. five thousand pounds

B. less than ten thousand pounds

C. one thousand, five hundred and ninety pounds

D. at least ten thousand pounds

45. Which of the following is NOT TRUE?

A. Most probably Sotheby’s purchased the bowl in the end.

B. It turned out that Mr. Fox got neither the money nor the bowl.

C. Mr. Fox preferred country life to city life after his retirement.

D. Mr. Fox was fond of gardening.

Science fiction writers create imaginary worlds. The way things work in your imaginary worlds will be based on actual science. So it’s important for you to be familiar with the scientific principles and inventions that are related to your creation. For example, if you’re writing about humans living on a planet with zero gravity, then you need to know the effects of zero gravity on the human body.

Then you have to figure out the exact rules of your imaginary worlds. And you have to follow them. If humans have evolved (进化) to breathe underwater in Chapter 1, your character can’t drown in a swimming pool in Chapter 3. If your robots write poetry but not fiction, then you can’t throw a novelist robot into Chapter 8. The issue here is maintaining your readers’ trust. That means the reader is willing to pretend along with you. If you start out with an ordinary detective novel (侦探小说) and then throw in someone breathing underwater in the 6th chapter, your readers’ reaction might be, “What the h……?” The imaginative spell is broken. You’ve pulled the readers out of their imagination. The same thing happens if you change the rules halfway.

Part of your preparation work for the novel is to map out its worlds for yourself in great detail. Decide: the history of the world, the geography, what possibilities it offers, how everything works in this new reality, and how all of these factors affect the way your characters think, feel, and react to things. You don’t have to tell your readers all the rules in the first chapter. But you have to let your readers know enough to understand what’s going on. This also allows you to work out logical problems and contradictions (矛盾) before you start writing.

When you are writing, remember to make it feel real. You are inviting readers to visit a new world. They will want to be able to see, hear, feel, smell, and even taste what it’s like. Whether your novel is about a world without disease or an undiscovered planet, help your readers feel like they’re actually there.

46. What’s the relationship between actual science and science fiction?

A. Science fiction promotes the development of actual science.

B. Science fiction often reflects the development of actual science.

C. Actual science limits the imagination described in science fiction.

D. Actual science provides basic principles for science fiction.

47. The second paragraph is mainly developed by ________.

A. making comparisons B. giving examples

C. following the time order D. analyzing causes

48. Which of the following statements is TRUE?

A. It is necessary to do some scientific experiments before writing science fiction.

B. It is more difficult to write science fiction than ordinary detective novels.

C. Readers of science fiction actually pretend the writers’ rules are true.

D. It is great to leave some contradictions in your science fiction.

49. The target (目标) readers of the passage are ________.

A. young scientists B. science fiction writers

C. college students D. professional journalists

50. The passage is mainly about ________.

A. how to do scientific research B. how to raise interest in science

C. what to expect from science fiction D. how to write science fiction
