You can’t know your planet unless you know something about science and technology. School science courses, I remember, concentrated on the unimportant parts of science, leaving the major insights almost untouched. The great discoveries in modern science are also great discoveries of the human spirit. For example, Copernicus showed that --far from being the center of the universe, about which the Sun, the Moon, the planets, and the stars revolved in clockwise homage--the Earth is just one of many small worlds. This is a deflation of our pretensions, to be sure, but it is also the opening up to our view of a vast and awesome universe. Every high school graduate should have some idea of the insights of Copernicus, Newton, Darwin, Freud, and Einstein. (Einstein’s special theory of relativity, far from being obscure and exceptionally difficult, can be understood in its basics with no more than first-year algebra, and the notion of a rowboat in a river going upstream and downstream.)

    正确答案：
    1.将which改为where或在which前加in。 此处需要一个状语从句,而不是which引导的定语从句。
    2.√
    3.将so改为but/however/nevertheless。 根据上下文可知这里是转折关系,而不是顺承关系。
    4.去掉about。 explain是及物动词,可以直接加宾语。
    5.将you改为they。 此处的先行词是the kids。
    6.将like改为as。such as 是固定搭配,“比如,例如”。
    7.将takes改为gives。 give rise to是固定搭配,表示“引起,导致”之意。
    8.将differ改为distinguish。 differ表示“有区别”,这里要用distinguish,表示“区分,找出……的差别”。
    9.将others改为other。 he other和上文的one构成固定搭配,表示在两者中“一个……;另外一个……”。
    10.将harmful改为harmless。 这里是双重否定表肯定,若用harmful则意义相反,不能与上文形成对比关系。

    You speak, write a letter, make a telephone. Your words carry a message. People communicate with words. Do you think you can communicate without words? A smile on your face shows you are happy or friendly. Tears in your eyes tell others that you are sad.

    When you put up your hands in class, the teacher knows you want to say something or ask questions. You shake your head, and people know you are saying "No". You nod and people know you are saying "Yes". Other things can also carry messages. For example, a sign at the bus helps you to know which bus to take. A sign on the door helps you where to go in or out. Have you ever thought that there are a lot of signs around you and that you receive messages from them all the time? People can communicate in many other ways. An artist can use his drawing to tell beautiful mountains, about the blue sea and many other things. Books are written to tell about all the wonderful things in the world and also about people and their ideas. Books, magazines, TV, radio and films all help us communicate with others. They can help us to know what is going on in the world and what other people are thinking about.

    61. People communicate ________.

    A.with words only B.in many different ways

    C.in letters and drawings D.with smiles, tears and hands

  • 第18题：

    Among the most popular books being written today are those which are usually classified as science fiction. Hundreds of titles are published every year and are read by all kinds of people.
    Furthermore, some of the most successful films in recent years have been based on science fiction stories.
    It is often thought that science fiction is a fairly new development in literature, but it can be found in books written hundreds of years ago. These books were often concerned with the presentation of some form of ideal society, a theme which is still often found in modern stories.
    Most of the classics of science fiction, however, have been written within the last hundred years. Books by writers such as Jules Verne and H.G. Wells, to mention just two well-known
    authors, have been translated into many languages. Modern science fiction writers don't write about men from Mars or space adventure stories. They are more interested in predicting the results of technical developments on society and the human mind; or in imagining future world which are a reflection of the world which we live in now. Because of this their writing has obviously political undertones.
    In an age where science fact frequently overtakes science fiction, the writers may find it difficult to keep ahead of scientific advances. Those who are sufficiently clear-sighted to see the way we are going, however, may provide a valuable lesson on how to deal with the problems which society will inevitably face as it tries to master its new technology.

    According to the passage, we know that查看材料

    A.science fiction is a fairly new development in literature
    B.the history of science fiction is less than a hundred years
    C.the science fiction in the past is more popular than modern science fiction
    D.modern science fiction usually has obviously political undertones

    答案：D
    解析：
    根据文章第三段最后一句，“Because of this their writing has obviously political under—tones”可知，科幻小说家的创作会有很鲜明的政治底色，故D正确。文中第二段第一句说科幻小说经常被认为是一个很新的文学形式，但是在数百年前就可以找到科幻小说，所以A项不对；根据文章第二段第一句，文中说的是“hundreds of years ago(成百上千年前)”，不是“less than a hundred years”，所以B项不对；对于C项，文章第一段说现在科幻小说很流行，并没有比较科幻小说在现在还是在过去更出名。故选D。
