选择性必修第四册 UNIT 1 SCIENCE FICTION
Ⅰ．阅读理解(限时7分钟)
(2025·河北张家口模拟)
A lot of scientific and technological achievements within the last 100 years was predicted within sci fi literature long before they came into physical existence．Throughout modern history，there has been a symbiotic(共生的) relationship between fiction and those in the science and technology fields．Pioneering science fiction synthesises (综合) and popularises new ideas of the imagination，which in turn can lead to others establishing the real world with such ideas．
This idea highlights the notion that these so called “fiction”writers are not just predicting the future but actually indirectly creating it．
For instance，Black Mirror：Nosedive predicted a range of technological developments．It imagined a personality rating system，which is now starting to be introduced within China，as a private credit and behaviour scoring system called “Sesame(芝麻) credit”．This system conducts behavioural analysis data based on the citizens' bill payments，abilities to hold contracts，shopping habits，online behaviour and characteristics of online friendships．Very low scores can affect people's real world lives — as described in the Black Mirror，the public is restricted from making reservations at hotels or restaurants，for example．
Something as simple as providing inspiration for an idea that an inventor can actually develop shows the shaping effect the domain can have on the world．Google Glass，self driving cars，artificial intelligence—even human genetic modification，anti aging processes，and space travel —are all ideas that appeared in science fiction before reality．Elon Musk's SpaceX plan of colonising Mars is an example that we are going to see for ourselves．
Over time，history shows that science fiction is less of a predictor of the future and more of an indirect creator．With the inspiration of many aspects of our modern life based on sci fi films，television，books，etc．，the genre itself can be seen as effectively playing a part in shaping our future．What do you think will be the next real world sci fi creation Flying cars Neural networks We can only wait to find out ．．．
1．What role does “sci fi literature”play in the real world according to the text？( )
A．A creator of the future．
B．A reflection of the real world．
C．A source of new ideas．
D．A signal of new scientific breakthroughs．
2．What is the author's purpose of writing paragraph 3？( )
A．To recommend a sci fi TV show．
B．To explain why sci fi artworks can predict the future．
C．To describe how sci fi artworks shape the future．
D．To show the importance of building the “Sesame credit”system．
3．Why does the author give an example of Elon Musk's SpaceX plan？( )
A．To tell people where the SpaceX plan came from．
B．To prove the SpaceX plan is worthy of investment．
C．To show how a sci fi idea inspires inventors to turn it into reality．
D．To emphasise the relationship between virtual and real worlds．
4．What would be the best title for this text？( )
A．How Science Fiction Is Shaping Our Future
B．Should We Be Worried About the Sci fi Artworks
C．Why Should We Encourage the Sci fi Creation
D．Technological Development Contributes to Sci fi Artworks

Science fiction，or sci fi，with more themes related to environmental issues，overpopulation，and technological growth，has explosively (爆发地) grown in popularity since the beginning of the 21st century． 1
Some Chinese Sci fi History
2 Few works were translated．And the Western world had little to no taste for it．
The history of Chinese sci fi is extensive，but the modern genre first took root during the 1900s．Authors such as Lu Xun promoted sci fi's early development in China and translated multiple Western stories like Jules Verne's From the Earth to the Moon．Following the 1970s，China began its own golden age of science fiction．Movies，clubs，magazines，societies and communities formed around this genre and became increasingly popular among Chinese readers． 3
Its Entry into the West
Chinese sci fi has become internationally recognised，mainly because of Ken Liu，who translated The Three Body Problem，the first contemporary Chinese sci fi novel to be translated into English． 4 Chinese sci fi's introduction into the West began with this novel，and it couldn't have been given a better international debut (亮相)．Liu has become a go to source for Chinese authors seeking international audiences．
What Makes Chinese Sci fi Distinctive (独特的)
The subgenre is unique for using a number of cultural and traditional objects，words，places and beliefs． 5 The stories are also different because many modern Chinese sci fi authors were heavily affected by the events of the 20th century．Their perspectives (思维方式) and ideas on morals，ethics (伦理)，government，politics，science and anything in between come from standpoints previously unknown to Western readers．
A．Published in 2014，it proved to be a huge success．
B．He is a writer，translator and computer scientist．
C．Before the 2000s，Chinese sci fi was lesser known．
D．Chinese sci fi also made its way to take the West by storm．
E．Similar to Western sci fi，it has experienced the ups and downs．
F．This laid the foundation for its eventual introduction to Western readers．
G．This makes Chinese sci fi a cultural and historical analysis of China．

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
A Writing Assignment
Mrs．Peabody，the English teacher，gave the class a writing assignment．“Write something in some way related to summer vacation，”she said．“Be as creative as you can．But，”the teacher added，“make sure you use proper spelling and grammar．”
That night Jim sat at his desk at home and stared at a blank sheet of paper．He didn't want to write about his summer vacation as usual．What could he write about，except a dog，a water park and two weeks of camp Boring．．．He'd actually been happy to get back to school．
So he wrote what he wanted．Not an essay at all but a short story，science fiction．It was about a distant planet that didn't have summer—it was spring all the time．And it didn't have vacations either．The aliens on the planet worked 24 hours a day．They wished they had vacations．
The next morning he handed in the story，but later that night he lay awake until 3 a．m．，thinking，“Why did I do that Will Mrs．Peabody think I ignored the assignment？”English was his favourite class．Maybe he would beg Mrs．Peabody for a chance to write another one，the sort she wanted．
But when he got to class the following day，it turned out that Mrs．Peabody had already read and graded the essays．
The teacher said，“I'm going to pass back your summer vacation writings in a minute．I'm afraid I've got some rather harsh words to say．Almost everyone in class simply wrote an essay about his or her summer vacation．．．Almost everyone．”
“This is bad，”Jim thought，“I'm getting an F．I know it．”
“But，”the teacher continued，“one of you had the courage to be as imaginative as I asked you to be．Jim Martin was the only one who got an A on the assignment．”
Jim couldn't believe his ears．
注意：续写词数应为150个左右。
When Mrs．Peabody invited Jim to share some thoughts on his writing，other students were all looking at him expectantly．
Mrs．Peabody thought it was time to explain Jim's grade．

(2025·河北张家口模拟)
A lot of scientific and technological achievements within the last 100 years was predicted within sci-fi literature long before they came into physical existence．Throughout modern history，there has been a symbiotic(共生的) relationship between fiction and those in the science and technology fields．Pioneering science fiction synthesises (综合) and popularises new ideas of the imagination，which in turn can lead to others establishing the real-world with such ideas．
This idea highlights the notion that these so-called “fiction” writers are not just predicting the future but actually indirectly creating it．
For instance，Black Mirror: Nosedive predicted a range of technological developments．It imagined a personality rating system，which is now starting to be introduced within China，as a private credit and behaviour scoring system called “Sesame(芝麻) credit”．This system conducts behavioural analysis data based on the citizens' bill payments，abilities to hold contracts，shopping habits，online behaviour and characteristics of online friendships．Very low scores can affect people's real-world lives — as described in the Black Mirror，the public is restricted from making reservations at hotels or restaurants，for example．
Something as simple as providing inspiration for an idea that an inventor can actually develop shows the shaping effect the domain can have on the world．Google Glass，self-driving cars，artificial intelligence—even human genetic modification，anti-aging processes，and space travel —are all ideas that appeared in science fiction before reality．Elon Musk's SpaceX plan of colonising Mars is an example that we are going to see for ourselves．
Over time，history shows that science fiction is less of a predictor of the future and more of an indirect creator．With the inspiration of many aspects of our modern life based on sci-fi films，television，books，etc．，the genre itself can be seen as effectively playing a part in shaping our future．What do you think will be the next real-world sci-fi creation Flying cars Neural networks We can only wait to find out ．．．

Science fiction，or sci-fi，with more themes related to environmental issues，overpopulation，and technological growth，has explosively (爆发地) grown in popularity since the beginning of the 21st century． 1
Some Chinese Sci-fi History
2 Few works were translated．And the Western world had little to no taste for it．
The history of Chinese sci-fi is extensive，but the modern genre first took root during the 1900s．Authors such as Lu Xun promoted sci-fi's early development in China and translated multiple Western stories like Jules Verne's From the Earth to the Moon．Following the 1970s，China began its own golden age of science fiction．Movies，clubs，magazines，societies and communities formed around this genre and became increasingly popular among Chinese readers． 3
Its Entry into the West
Chinese sci-fi has become internationally recognised，mainly because of Ken Liu，who translated The Three-Body Problem，the first contemporary Chinese sci-fi novel to be translated into English． 4 Chinese sci-fi's introduction into the West began with this novel，and it couldn't have been given a better international debut (亮相)．Liu has become a go-to source for Chinese authors seeking international audiences．
What Makes Chinese Sci-fi Distinctive (独特的)
The subgenre is unique for using a number of cultural and traditional objects，words，places and beliefs． 5 The stories are also different because many modern Chinese sci-fi authors were heavily affected by the events of the 20th century．Their perspectives (思维方式) and ideas on morals，ethics (伦理)，government，politics，science and anything in between come from standpoints previously unknown to Western readers．
A．Published in 2014，it proved to be a huge success．
B．He is a writer，translator and computer scientist．
C．Before the 2000s，Chinese sci-fi was lesser-known．
D．Chinese sci-fi also made its way to take the West by storm．
E．Similar to Western sci-fi，it has experienced the ups and downs．
F．This laid the foundation for its eventual introduction to Western readers．
G．This makes Chinese sci-fi a cultural and historical analysis of China．
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了中国科幻小说的发展历史、进入西方世界的原因及中国科幻小说的独特魅力。
1．D [根据下文“Some Chinese Sci-fi History”“Its Entry into the West”及“What Makes Chinese Sci-fi Distinctive”这些小标题可知，本文是在讲述中国科幻小说的相关内容，D项是对本文内容的概括，起到了引出下文的作用。故选D项。]
2．C [下文“Few works were translated．And the Western world had little to no taste for it．”是对C项内容的解释，与C项构成因果关系，是中国科幻小说在2000年前鲜为人知的原因。故选C项。]
3．F [上文“Movies，clubs，magazines，societies and communities formed around this genre and became increasingly popular among Chinese readers．”和F项形成内容上的承接，指出了中国科幻小说是如何一步步被本国和西方所接受的原因。故选F项。]
4．A [根据上文“Chinese sci-fi has become internationally recognised，mainly because of Ken Liu，who translated The Three-Body Problem，the first contemporary Chinese sci-fi novel to be translated into English．”可知，《三体》是第一部被翻译成英文的当代中国科幻小说，A项是对上文内容的承接，是对该书的进一步介绍。故选A项。]

3．inspiration [考查名词。此处应用inspire的名词形式inspiration作动词drew的宾语。故填inspiration。]
4．talented [考查词性转换。修饰名词Chinese painter应用形容词。故填talented。]
5．combined [考查非谓语动词。此处为非谓语，动词combine和story之间是被动关系，用其过去分词作后置定语，(be) combined with是固定搭配。故填combined。]
6．hoping [考查非谓语动词。此处为非谓语，动词hope和主语之间是主动关系，故用其现在分词作状语。故填hoping。]
7．than [考查固定句型。more ．．．than．．．“与其说……倒不如说……；不是……而是……”，是固定搭配，符合句意。故填than。]
8．when [考查状语从句。根据句意可知，此处表示“当不上班或度假的时候”，用when引导时间状语从句。故填when。]
9．the [考查冠词。最高级highest前应有定冠词限定。故填the。]
10．after [考查介词。name．．．after．．．“以……的名字命名……”，是固定搭配。故填after。]

A Writing Assignment
Mrs．Peabody，the English teacher，gave the class a writing assignment．“Write something in some way related to summer vacation，” she said．“Be as creative as you can．But，” the teacher added，“make sure you use proper spelling and grammar．”
That night Jim sat at his desk at home and stared at a blank sheet of paper．He didn't want to write about his summer vacation as usual．What could he write about，except a dog，a water park and two weeks of camp Boring．．．He'd actually been happy to get back to school．
So he wrote what he wanted．Not an essay at all but a short story，science fiction．It was about a distant planet that didn't have summer—it was spring all the time．And it didn't have vacations either．The aliens on the planet worked 24 hours a day．They wished they had vacations．
The next morning he handed in the story，but later that night he lay awake until 3 a．m．，thinking，“Why did I do that Will Mrs．Peabody think I ignored the assignment？” English was his favourite class．Maybe he would beg Mrs．Peabody for a chance to write another one，the sort she wanted．
But when he got to class the following day，it turned out that Mrs．Peabody had already read and graded the essays．
The teacher said，“I'm going to pass back your summer vacation writings in a minute．I'm afraid I've got some rather harsh words to say．Almost everyone in class simply wrote an essay about his or her summer vacation．．．Almost everyone．”
“This is bad，” Jim thought，“I'm getting an F．I know it．”
“But，” the teacher continued，“one of you had the courage to be as imaginative as I asked you to be．Jim Martin was the only one who got an A on the assignment．”
Jim couldn't believe his ears．

【参考范文】
When Mrs． Peabody invited Jim to share some thoughts on his writing，other students were all looking at him expectantly．Jim，feeling both surprised and nervous，slowly made his way to the front of the classroom．Clearing his throat，he began，“Well，I guess I just wanted to write something different．You know，everyone else would be writing about their beach trips or family vacations，and I thought，‘Why not create a whole new world？’” He paused and then continued，“On this planet，they don't have summer or vacations，and I kind of felt sorry for the aliens there．It made me appreciate our summers even more．”
Mrs． Peabody thought it was time to explain Jim's grade．She stood up and addressed the class．“Class，Jim stretched his imagination and took a risk．That's precisely what I was hoping．Creativity and originality are qualities that are often overlooked in favour of conformity．His work reminded us all that writing is not just about meeting expectations—it's about exploring the boundaries of your imagination．That's why Jim earned an A．” The class erupted into applause，and Jim，standing tall，felt a surge of pride and a new-found confidence in his own creativity．
