【导语】　她的科幻小说颠覆传统，将科学与哲理融入冒险故事。凭借《时间的皱纹》荣获纽伯瑞奖，Madeleine L'Engle开创了儿童文学的新境界。
A daring adventure through space
The highest honor in children's literature, the Newbery Medal, went to A Wrinkle in Time in 1963. Madeleine L'Engle's work pushed the boundaries① of what children's books could be.
An artistic author
Madeleine L'Engle was born in 1918 in New York City. Growing up, she played the piano, acted in plays, and loved to read.When she ran out of books at home, she began writing her own stories. [1]L'Engle won a poetry contest in fifth grade, whereas② when she submitted③ poems and stories to publishers, she received so many rejections that she nearly gave up writing.Fortunately, she kept trying.
Creating a classic
After reading a book about Albert Einstein，L'Engle was inspired to invent a world based on scientific theories.[2]She wrote A Wrinkle in Time in three months, basing the main character④，Meg Murry，on her childhood self.With her brother and friend，Meg seeks to find her missing scientist father.To create the novel, L'Engle had to do research on physics theories and included ideas she found interesting.At the time，some people thought the science fiction was too advanced for children to read. At least 26 publishers rejected it.Finally，the first copies were printed in 1962.
The story continues
L'Engle wrote more than 60 books in her lifetime. She followed A Wrinkle in Time with four more novels about the Murry family: A Wind in the Door, A Swiftly Tilting Planet, Many Waters, and An Acceptable Time —known together as the Time Quintet. The first book remained the most successful and has been turned into two movies, a play, an opera, and a graphic novel⑤. In October 2022, it was declared that A Wrinkle in Time would be adapted into a Broadway musical⑥.

(改编)
拉里·贝尔蒙特在一家生产机器人的公司工作。最近，该公司开始对一个家用机器人进行试验。这个机器人将由拉里的妻子克莱尔测试。
克莱尔并不想让这个机器人进她家，特别是当她丈夫将要出差三周的时候，但是拉里劝她说机器人不会伤害她，也不会让她受到伤害。这会是个意外的收获。然而，她初次见到机器人的时候就感到担心。机器人名叫托尼。他看起来更像一个人，而不是一台机器。他虽然面部表情毫无变化，但是个子高大，相貌英俊，头发平整，声音低沉浑厚。
第二天早晨，托尼给她端来了早餐，然后问她是否需要帮忙穿衣打扮。她感到非常尴尬，很快就打发他走了。现在她正在被一个看起来这么像人类的机器人照顾，这让人很不安。
有一天，克莱尔提到她觉得她自己不聪明。托尼则说，她一定是很不高兴，才会说出这样的话来。克莱尔认为一个机器人对她表示同情十分荒谬，但她逐渐欣赏他的智慧和正直，并开始信任他。他对待她总是很敬重。她告诉托尼自己多么的不高兴，因为拉里认为家里不够雅致，拉里想通过更高的薪水来提高自己的社会地位。她跟格拉迪丝·克拉芬不一样，格拉迪丝是周围最有钱有势的女人之一。
作为一项恩惠，托尼答应帮助克莱尔，使她变得更漂亮，也使她的家变得更雅致。于是克莱尔从图书馆借来一些书给托尼阅读，更确切地说，给他浏览一下。她惊奇地看着他的手指翻动着书页。她在想，这是多么荒唐啊。他只不过是一台机器呀。
托尼给克莱尔换了新发型，还改进了她的妆容。由于他不被允许陪她去商店，他就列了一张物品清单，上面写了他装修房子所需要的东西。克莱尔去市区买了这些东西。她还预约了做美甲，然后走进了一家高档服装店。那里的女售货员对她很粗鲁，所以她打电话给托尼，告诉他自己受到了恶劣对待。他跟那个售货员通话，之后售货员立刻改变了态度。克莱尔对托尼表示感谢，称托尼为“亲爱的”。当她转过身来，却看到格拉迪丝·克拉芬正站在那里。克莱尔想，被格拉迪丝发现了，这多么难堪啊。从她脸上的表情来看，克莱尔知道，格拉迪丝认为她有婚外情。毕竟她知道克莱尔的丈夫叫拉里，而不叫托尼。尽管她与托尼之间完全是清白的，克莱尔还是有负罪感。
克莱尔回到家里，哭了起来。格拉迪丝是她竭力想成为的对象。托尼对克莱尔说，她这样想有点敏感，其实她就像格拉迪丝一样好。他建议克莱尔邀请格拉迪丝和她的朋友到家里来玩，时间就定在托尼离去和拉里回家之前的那个晚上。到那时，托尼预计这栋正在彻底改造的房子能完工。
托尼有条不紊地搞着装修。克莱尔试图帮忙安装天花板上的吊灯，但她从梯子上摔了下来。尽管托尼当时在隔壁房间，但他还是及时赶过来把她接住了。当他抱着她时，她感觉到了他身上的温暖。她尖叫了起来，把他推开，跑回了自己的房间。
聚会的那天晚上到了。时钟敲响八点。客人们很快就要到了，克莱尔让托尼结束了当晚的工作。就在这时，托尼把她抱在怀里，把脸贴近她。她听到他说，他第二天不想离开她，而且他不仅仅是想讨她的欢心。这时，前门的门铃响了。

All-powerful robots and artificial intelligence (AI) have long been the subjects of science fiction (小说).Now such technology means that fact is more strange than fiction.A science fiction story，The Land of Machine Memories，recently received a literary award.
It tells of a relationship between a human and AI.Li Xiao，the hero，is an explorer in the meta-verse (元宇宙) but she works as an engineer in the real world.In an experiment that has gone wrong，she loses all of her memories about her family.To recover them，she steps out onto a journey to explore the land of machine memories with her AI friend Neura.Li eventually regains her memories，gaining a deeper understanding and experience of the universe.
The novel was compiled using AI by Shen Yang，a professor in the School of Journalism and Communication at the Tsinghua University in Beijing.The story was awarded second prize at the fifth youth popular science and science fiction competition，organized by the Jiangsu Popular Science Writers Association in Nanjing，Jiangsu Province.
Fu Changyi，director of the Science Fiction Committee of the Jiangsu Popular Science Writers Association，said he was aware of Shen's long-term involvement in AI research，so he invited Shen to take part in the competition.Fu kept the fact that The Land of Machine Memories was generated by AI from the judges.He wanted to see if judges could realize what they were reading was the product of a machine.
For Fu，the outcome came as a surprise.Only one judge found out the story was produced by AI.Three out of the six judges voted for The Land of Machine Memories.By competition rules，works recommended by five judges can win a special prize，and works recommended by three judges can win a second prize.
One of the judges who were impressed by the AI story was Wang Yanzhong，a science fiction novelist.“At first I didn't realize that it was created by AI.There's no doubt that AI does better than many humans in terms of richness of pared with the works of beginners，it's outstanding，” he said.

Praised writer Jessica Khoury was only four years old when she began to write.Today，she has printed several books for young people，including The Mystwick School of Musicraft Series，The Corpus Trilogy，and The Forbidden Wish.Her latest novel is called The Ruby Code.
I recently spoke with Khoury about her new science fiction for middle-graders.The book，she told me from her home in South Carolina，is for anybody who has ever thought，“What would it be like for a video game world to come to life？”
Set in a future New York City，the book is，in Khoury's words，“a high-action scary book.” Readers are introduced to 13-year-old Ash，a silent young gamer.His life circles around his love for virtual (虚拟的) reality games.They offer a chance to stay away from his bad stepfather and the cold-hearted people who laugh at him.
Ash's life takes an unexpected turn when he is given a small metal box after helping a man in need.It contains an old-style video game called “The Glass Realm”.To his surprise，Ash meets a character named Ruby who was created by artificial intelligence (AI).Her abilities are so huge that she can even rewrite the game.
Ruby's secret knowledge leads Ash on a painful but exciting adventure.At last，he is able to learn the truth behind a dishonest company.
In The Ruby Code，Khoury seeks the advantages and disadvantages of rapid technological progress.Like many people，she wonders how AI will change life.
“As a writer，” Khoury said，“I think all the time about how long it will be before the robots take my job.But I'm not a person who's scared of technology.I like to consider not just the worst-case situation but also the best-case situation.”

Ⅱ.阅读七选五(每小题2.5分，共12.5分)

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 recognized，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.He is a writer，translator and computer scientist.
B.Published in 2014，it proved to be a huge success.
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 makes Chinese sci-fi a cultural and historical analysis of China.
G.This laid the foundation for its eventual introduction to Western readers.
