[吉林长春外国语学校2022高二开学考试]I believe in the power of science fiction, not only for its capacity to transform dreams into reality, but also for its power of bonding together those who share a common vision of the future. For me, that's true for my relationship with my dad. Some fathers and sons bond over sports, fishing or hunting, but my dad and I bond over Star Trek. We tried a trip to Walt Disney World, but one of my earliest memories wasn't Mickey, but a Klingon battle cruiser (战列巡洋舰) on the screen.
Over the years, nearly every setting and situation has become far away for my dad and me. When it’s warm at night, we’re not driving along some dark streets in Indiana, but walking at slow speed with stars dimly shining. Both of us are thinking of them, without needing to say a word.All these visions of other universes have together created a private universe for my dad and me.

Gene Roddenberry, creator of Star Trek, once said, “Science fiction is a way of thinking, a way of logic that bypasses (绕过) a lot of nonsense. It allows people to look directly at important subjects.” A lifetime of science fiction has influenced more than just my relationship with my dad, but has also helped me shape my own hopes for the future. I’m now a science writer.
Yes, science fiction has made me into a “nerd (书呆子)”, and it also has been a source of joy for my family, making me an optimist while enabling me to think critically about the danger of technology. Thank those authors who have shared their visions; the world and my family are better for it. Thank my dad, who is both the best storyteller and the best man I have ever known because he helped me realise the truth of Tennyson’s words, “When I dipped into the future, I saw the vision of the world, and all the wonders that would be.”

[福建福州八县(市)协作校2022高二期末联考]The Internet, search engines, virtual worlds—have you ever got the feeling that you’re living in a science fiction fantasy
Well, indeed you are.
For more than a century, inventors have been driven to create what sci fi writers have imagined long before. Buck Rogers inspired a generation of scientists excited about space exploration. Ray Bradbury predicted home theatre systems. William Gibson dreamed up the Internet while writing Neuromancer on a typewriter. Not long after him, Neal Stephenson predicted virtual worlds in his 1992 novel Snow Crash. One of his readers was Philip Rosedale, who loved it so much that he wanted to build a virtual world based on it.
By the late 1990s, technology caught up with the novel, and Rosedale built the virtual world Second Life based on the “Metaverse” from the novel. With millions of active users, Second Life offers virtual shops, bars, houses and even virtual television studios with virtual celebrities (名人) on virtual talk shows.
Part Ⅱ 拓展阅读训练
刷阅读理解
“I think it is pretty much what I imagined,” Stephenson says.“I just shoot for the stars, while Rosedale makes great things happen.”
But Snow Crash is a dark book. The world in the novel is filled with criminals, violence and environmental problems.
“Science fiction not only puts stars in our hands, it also helps us see the meaning of our work,” Philip Rosedale admits.“It makes it possible for us to see what all of our efforts could eventually lead to.”
In fact, most science fiction authors admit that their works are usually cautionary (警告的). “While the inventors are rushing ahead and excited about this possibility or that possibility, we're always standing there going, ‘Hang on just a second. Let’s think about this a little more,’” author Connie Willis says. “But most of them will ignore you because they think they already know what they think about any given hot topic of the day. But if you can convince them that you’re talking about a planet millions of miles away and hundreds of years in the future or the past, you can actually get them to examine more closely what’s going on right now.”

1.Who was inspired by Neal Stephenson’s work

B.It is a very violent virtual world.
C.It is not based on his fiction strictly.
D.More activities should be added to it.

1.D 细节理解题。根据第三段最后两句以及第四段中的By the late 1990s, technology caught up with the novel, and Rosedale built the virtual world Second Life based on the “Metaverse” from the novel.可知,菲利普·罗斯戴尔受到了尼尔·斯蒂芬森的作品《雪崩》的启发,构建了虚拟世界“第二人生”。故选D项。

刷7选5
Writing a great science fiction novel is a long, hard process. As with any novel, you'll want to construct a satisfying plot, develop interesting characters, and write polished, vivid prose. __1__
Remember that science fiction is about ideas. Different from other genres (体裁), a good science fiction story depends on a great imagination. __2__ In sci fi, those questions can be implicit (含蓄的) or explicit. For example, many early sci fi works make their questions obvious. In War of the Worlds, the question is: What would happen to human society if it were invaded by technologically advanced aliens
__3__ It’s one thing to have a great idea or situation, but that doesn’t mean you have a story. While science fiction novels are often thought to be experiments, they also can’t just be experiments. That means you’re going to have to come up with an appealing story that brings these questions to life. Ask yourself: What is the change that will occur over the course of your story, either in the world or in the life of the main character
Part Ⅱ 拓展阅读训练
刷7选5
Create an interesting world. __4__ The intricately (错综复杂地) imagined details that make up your world should flow in some way from the idea at the heart of your story. In that way, the world you create in your sci fi novel also reveals something about your point of view on the real world. Even the most fantastically imagined story is still a reflection of real world questions and problems.
Make sure the rules of your world are consistent. One of the qualities that set sci fi novels apart from fantasies and surrealism (超现实主义) is that no matter how strange or fantastic the world is, it still obeys an internally consistent logic. __5__ But it must be understandable in order for it to feel believable to the reader.

A.Focus on character development.
B.Make sure you’re telling a good story.
C.That said, writing science fiction requires many unique considerations.
D.That logic will necessarily be different from the logic that governs reality.
E.Before you start writing, have some sense of the question your novel is asking.
F.World building is one of the most important parts of creating a compelling sci fi story.
G.Sci fi novels set in a technologically backward world would violate the rules of the reality.

【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章说明了在科幻小说的创作中需要考虑的几个独特的因素。
答案及解析
3.B 该空位于段首,应是该段的主题句。该段是说明科幻小说要有吸引人的故事情节。根据下文It’s one thing to have a great idea or situation, but that doesn't mean you have a story.可知,有了好的想法和故事背景并不意味着有好的故事;B项中telling a good story与下文中的have a story以及 come up with an appealing story 相呼应。故选B项。
2.E 根据下文In sci fi, those questions can be implicit or explicit.可知,在科幻小说中,这些问题可以是含蓄的,也可以是被明确表达的。其中those questions与E项中的the question your novel is asking相呼应;下文举例说明科幻小说《世界之战》提出的问题。故选E项。
1.C 根据空前的construct a satisfying plot, develop interesting characters, and write polished, vivid prose可知,写科幻小说和写其他任何小说一样,你都想要构建令人满意的情节,描绘有趣的人物,并写出优美、生动的文字。C项中的That said引出进一步解释,requires many unique considerations是对上一句的补充说明,同时表明下文与在写科幻小说时要考虑的几个因素有关。C项承上启下。故选C项。

5.D 根据上文no matter how strange or fantastic the world is, it still obeys an internally consistent logic可知,无论你构建的世界多么奇怪或荒诞,它仍然遵循内在一致的逻辑;D项中That logic是承接上一句中的an internally consistent logic。故选D项。
4.F 该段主题句是Create an interesting world.,而F项中的World building与主题句相呼应;下文中的the world you create in your sci fi novel also reveals something about your point of view on the real world说明科幻小说中创造出来的世界反映了你对现实世界的看法。F项符合该段的主题。故选F项。

4.when 句意为:直到1997年,“深蓝”打败了国际象棋世界冠军,人工智能才取得了重大突破。分析句子结构可知,本句为时间状语Not until 1997提前至句首的倒装句。设空处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词为1997,关系词在从句中作时间状语,所以用关系副词when引导该从句。

7.our 句意为:虽然智能机器人在未来的某一天会对我们有利,但这些毋庸置疑的好处也带来了担忧和恐惧。设空处修饰名词advantage,应用形容词性物主代词。故填our。work to one's advantage为固定用法,意为“对某人有利”。
10.but/yet 句意为:确实,让机器人为我们做所有的工作是很棒的,但我们不应该太贪婪,而应该小心我们的愿望。前后句之间为转折关系,所以用表示转折关系的连词but/yet。
答案及解析
8.to 句意为:我们会成为人工智能的受害者吗? fall victim to为固定搭配,意为“成为……的牺牲品/受害者”。故填to。
9.warnings 句意为:这样的警告值得我们注意。warning在此为可数名词,其前无冠词修饰,根据谓语动词可知,此处表示不止一个,所以用复数形式。故填warnings。

[广东东莞2022高二期末]Robots can be programmed to move a car and even perform some operations. However, when it comes to picking up something that they have not touched before, such as an egg, they often fail. Now, engineers have invented an artificial fingertip (指尖) which overcomes that limitation. It enables machines to sense objects as a human fingertip does.
Engineers have been working hard to make robots flexible and sensitive. When researchers from a university began designing an artificial fingertip in 2009, they used human skin as a guide.Their first fingertip was about the size of a Coke can. By 2018, 3D printing made it about the size of an adult’s big toe, with the multi layered structure like human skin. The latest breakthrough is called TacTip. Scientists include artificial nerve networks into the fingertip, which enables a robot to quickly process what it’s sensing and react accordingly like a real finger.

“A lot of our sense of touch is decided by our skin,” says Professor Benjamin, leader of the research team. In our fingertips, nerve endings will deform when the skin touches an object and then sends the signals to the brain about what’s happening. Similarly, the nerve networks of TacTip pick up and translate those signals into the fingertip’s actions, telling robots to handle objects of all shapes and sizes without programming, according to Benjamin.
Some scientists doubt whether TacTip is only just skin like. The signals from the artificial and human fingertips are not quite the same, as the signals in real skin are more intense. Other scientists think highly of this breakthrough. “At least it helps clarify how human touch works and is a necessary step to improve robotic touch,” says Professor Smith, a material scientist.

1.Why does the writer mention “an egg” in Paragraph 1
A.To find a solution for engineers.
B.To show robots have limitations.
C.To tell how robots sense objects.
D.To explain why robots often fail.
2.Which of the following plays the most important role in the latest breakthrough
A.Artificial nerve networks. B.3D printing.
C.Multi layered structure. D.Human skin.
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍科学家打造出能让机器人拥有近乎人类触感的人工指尖。
1.B 推理判断题。根据第一段中的However, when it comes to picking up something that they have not touched before, such as an egg, they often fail.可知,作者提到鸡蛋是为了举例说明机器人无法将之前没有触碰过的东西拿起,这属于机器人的局限。故选B项。
2.A 细节理解题。由文章第二段中的The latest breakthrough is called TacTip.Scientists include artificial nerve networks into the fingertip… 可知,最新的突破是科学家将人工神经网络植入指尖。故选A项。

3.What does the underlined word “deform” mean in Paragraph 3
A.Develop. B.Stop working.
C.Decrease. D.Change shapes.

3.D 词义猜测题。由画线词后面的when the skin touches an object and then sends the signals to the brain about what’s happening可知,当我们的皮肤一接触物体,就会有信号传到大脑;再根据下文中的Similarly可知,TacTip的神经网络系统与人的皮肤神经作用原理类似,这种人工神经网络系统会通过信号将所触碰物品的形状、大小都传递给机器人。由此可推知,画线处所在句应该是表示人类指尖的神经末梢在触摸到物品之后,发生“变形”,将相关的信号传递给大脑。deform是“(使)变形”的意思,故选D项。

[浙江绍兴诸暨中学2022高二期中]If you could travel in time, where would you go 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 The Time Machine, which was written by H. G. Wells and published in 1895 for the first time. It was adapted for at least two feature films of the same name, as well as two television versions, and a large number of comic book adaptations.The term “time machine”, invented 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 theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking says you could travel into the future with a really fast spaceship—going at nearly the speed of light.
Even if you could travel into the past, there is something called the “grandfather paradox”. It asks what would happen if a time traveller 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 traveller 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. He arrives at a beach where he 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.

[湖北宜昌一中、荆州中学、龙泉中学2022高二联考]In 2019, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that 55 million people in the US are “gig workers”, which account for more than 35% of the US workforce. That number would be projected to jump to 43% by 2020.
People are drawn to gig work (零工) because it brings in a little extra income without a major time commitment. And recent technologies like Skype, Slack, and Dropbox have made the gig life a reality, giving you maximum freedom, an ideal work life balance, and the chance to pursue your passions.
If you’re thinking of joining the gig economy, it’s never been easier. One of the greatest things about the gig economy is that you don’t have a boss breathing down your neck. As a freelancer, you no longer have to cater to a company culture or a work schedule that might cause physical or emotional stress. Instead, you get to choose the type of work you do and the people you work with. But this degree of freedom requires a corresponding amount of discipline. With no boss to make sure you're on a task, it’s all up to you.

A lot of gig workers start their careers by hopping on a project because the employer is desperate and in need of help. For the employers, it’s tough to take on people for higher management positions when the pool of talent is full of gig workers who haven’t been given an opportunity to improve their skills. Businesses have to evolve to learn how to adapt to an influx (涌入) of temporary workers. It is harder for gig workers to become skilled and get promoted.
The workforce is becoming more advanced and educated. You have to keep learning and keep up with industry trends to maintain a competitive edge. This is true even for people in traditional office settings, but it’s critical if you’re your own boss.

A Dream About the Future
People were busy in their own laboratories on Mars.Turtex told me, “Let us go to the Earth to have a cup of coffee.”
I laughed at such a childish joke and I also jokingly asked him, “Is there no coffee shop on Mars ”
He replied, “It has but they can’t prepare coffee as tasty as that on the Earth.”
However, for a while I thought it would be better to take a cup of tasty coffee from Ramu’s Coffee Shop located at our village, Kushmandi.
Turtex told me to enter a room near his laboratory. We entered there and found that the room was internally coated with some materials like sponge.Turtex closed the door of the room with a clap. I saw some colourful buttons inside the room. After a few seconds I heard another clap and noticed that the door opened.
Turtex said, “Come with me.”
I asked, “Where ”

He replied, “Now we are at Kushmandi.”
I shouted, “What ”
We came out of the room and I astonishingly viewed the skyscrapers around me.Turtex said loudly, “What’s wrong with you Come with me.”
Eventually we entered a coffee club designed like a five star restaurant. Suddenly I noticed a display board with electronic text on, “Welcome to Kushmandi. Now you are in famous Ramu's Coffee Shop. Enjoy the taste of the best coffee on the Earth.”
Suddenly many hazy and crazy questions came to my mind.
“What was the nearby room of the lab How was it possible to travel an enormous distance from Mars to the Earth Is it like opening my favourite TV channel with a remote How did the poor coffee stall of our village turn into a five star coffee club In which century were we ”

【参考范文】
Thinking such hazy things, I followed Turtex into the coffee club. The delicious smell of coffee rushed into my nose. Oh, my loveable tasty coffee. How eager I was to have a cup of it at once! “Come here,” Turtex said. Still absorbed in those hazy questions, I followed Turtex and sat beside a table, which was coated with strange materials, waiting to enjoy the best coffee on the Earth.
The waiter brought us two cups of coffee and left. Impatiently I took one and took a sip. “Oh my gosh.” It was so hot that it seemed that my mouth got burnt. But then I heard a hair cutting sound. I slowly opened my eyes and found that a nurse was cutting my hair and putting it into a tray beside my bed and telling me, “Nothing serious. It needs just two stitches on your forehead and you will be OK within a week.” I finally realised that it was our village hospital at Kushmandi that I was in, not at the coffee club.
