Verne's Accurate Previw of the Future
Since the beginning of time,man has been interested in the moon.The Romans designed a special day to show admiration and respect to the moon.They called it“Moonday”,or “Monday”,as we know it today.Later,the great mind of Leonardo da Vinci studied the moon and designed a machine to carry a human to the moon.Leonardo said that one day a great machine bird would take a person to the moon and bring great honor to the home where it was born.
Four and a half centuries later,Leonardo's idea was realized.Apollo Ⅱ took three
Americans一Collins,Aldrin,and Armstrong一to the moon.The mission did fill the whole world with great surprise,as Leonardo had said it would.Numerous essays,articles,and books were written about man's first moon mission.But perhaps the most interesting story was one written before the event一over 100 years ago.
In 1865,French author Jules Verne wrote a story about the first journey to the moon.His story was very similar to the 1969 Apollo Ⅱ mission.
Verne's spacecraft also contained three men一two Americans and a Frenchman.The spacecraft was described as being almost the same size as Apollo Ⅱ .The launch site in Verne's story was also in Florida.The spacecraft in Verne's story was named the“Columbiad”aa.The Apollo Ⅱ command ship was called“Columbia”.His account of sending the space-craft into the space could easily have been written about how Apollo Ⅱ was sent into the space.
Verne's story was the same as the actual event in several other respects.The speed of Verne's spacecraft was 36,000 feet per second；Apollo's was 35,533 feet per second.Verne's spacecraft took 97 hours to reach the moon；Apollo's time was 103 hours.Like Apollo's spacemen,Verne's spacemen took pictures of the moon's surface,relaxed on their seats, cooked with gas,and experienced weightlessness.They also came down in the Pacific and were picked up by an American warship.
What were the reasons for Jules Verne's extreme accuracy in describing an event 100 years or more before it actually occurred?He based his writings on the laws of physics and astronomy（天文学）.Nineteenth-century science and the vivid Verne's imagination gave people an unbelievable accurate preview of the greatest events of the 20th century.The passage suggests that Jules Verne______.
A:developed the laws of physics
B:based his writing on the works of Leonardo da Vinci
C:was very lucky in what he had described about the future
D:knew a great deal about the laws of physics and astronomy答案：D解析：题干意为“Leonardo da Vinci说一个巨大的机器飞鸟将……”。利用题干中 的细节信息词/短语Leonardo da Vinci, a great machine bird作为定位线索，在第一段中找到 相关句：Since the beginning of time, man has been interested in the moon.The Romans designed a special day to show admiration and respect to the moon.They called it“Moonday”, or“Monday”,as we know it today.Later,the great mind of Leonardo da Vinci studied the moon and designed a machine to carry a human to the moon.Leonardo said that one day a great machine bird would take a person to the moon and bring great honor to the home where it was born．意为“Leonardo说将来有一天，一个巨大的机器飞鸟将把人带到月球上去，并因此给它所诞生的国家带来荣誉”，由此可知答案为D，把人带到月球上。

第10题：
问答题Now Internet has almost become the symbol of information age. Some think that it is a very great invention because by it, they can do many things that were impossible before. But some view Internet with much disapproval because it distracts people's attention rather than help people do things better. What is your opinion about the influence of Internet on the modern society? Write an essay of about 400 words on the following topic:Internet and the Modern SocietyIn the first part of your writing you should present your thesis statement, and in the second part you should support the thesis statement, with appropriate details. In the last part you should bring what you have .written to a natural conclusion or a summary. Marks will be awarded for content, organization, grammar and appropriateness. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks.正确答案：
The Internet and the Modern Society Recently the influence of Internet has attracted much public attention. People worry about the time wasted on it, the damage caused by virus spread on it, and most of all, some violent crimes committed due to the violent games played on it. All these concerns may be reasonable. But if we take a broader perspective, we may find that Internet has had many positive impacts on the modern society.
First of all, Internet has made the access to information more convenient. In .the past, people could get information they wanted through only limited channels, such as newspaper, radio, and television. This means that only a certain amount of people could get the information at a certain time and in a certain place. But now with the help of internet, people can get information no matter when they want. As a researcher has pointed out, information explosion means that people live in the ocean of information, and Internet has been essential to make that true.
Besides, Internet has also made communication more convenient. Sociologists agree that communication is vital to maintain harmonious human relation, but the communication was rather inconvenient in the past despite the continuous improvement of technology. Letters have been so slow as to be nicknamed snail mail; telegraph and telephone may be quicker, but they have been very costly. But now many new communication tools developed on the basis of the Internet, such as e-mail, msn and QQ, have made talking to a person extremely quick, convenient, and virtually free of charge. This will undoubtedly improve the human relation in the modern world.
The most important impact, however, is that Internet has made social interaction more convenient. Before the Internet era, various social institutes had only limited options to choose from if they wanted to reach the public, and naturally the result was usually unsatisfactory. But now in the Internet era, all these institutes can set up their own websites, which can not only provide the public with information but also collect reaction from the public. For example, the government can collect people's opinion about a certain project through the Internet, producers can promote products through Internet, and universities can clarify admission policies through Internet. The result is that Internet can help to bring about a more open, fair and interactive society.
In a word, more convenient social interaction, personal communication and access to information are the three major changes the Internet has made in the modern society. Although there do exist some problems with the Internet, these positive influences certainly are more important. What we should do is to find measures to solve the problems rather than just talk about them. Just as the proverb goes, we should not stop eating for fear of being choked.解析：
本题的题目首先列举了人们对互联网的两种看法，然后要求考生谈论自己对关于“互联网对现代社会的影响”。本文的引言段采用的是转折式(self-refutation)。作者先列举了互联网的一些问题，然后话锋一转，提出互联网的影响主要是积极的这一观点。在正文段落中，作者分别从三个方面阐述互联网的影响，即获取信息更方便、人际交流更方便和社会互动更方便。这一顺序非常合理，从个人到社会，符合范围从小到大、水平从低到高的规律。前面两段的衔接词分别为first of all和besides，第三段则使用了the most important impact，however，这起到了很好的强调作用。另外，第一段中的专家证言和第二段中的例子都使得文章的内容更加丰富。结论段使用in a word开始，作者在一句话中完成了summary。Final comment中的格言的使用，也为文章添色不少。 -
