　　Jerry is a world-famous mountain climber.He has climbed many high mountains in the world.Starting in 2015， he and his friends spent two years on an adventure in South America， covering 7，800 miles.He was even named Adventure of the Year by a famous geography magazine in 2018.
　　Although Jerry had achieved great success， he didn’t feel fulfilled.He asked himself， “Is it enough to climb the highest mountains？ Am I doing something helpful？ How can I turn my adventures into something that can help the world？”
　　Jerry learned that scientists need plants， rocks and water samples （样本） from the places far away to do research.But scientists can’t get there themselves as such places are hard to reach — only the bravest adventurers can make it.Jerry thought himself could do something to help.He then came up with an idea.He set up a team of top adventures to collect samples for scientists.By studying the samples， scientists could know more about the Earth and find ways to protect it.
　　Recently Jerry and his adventurer friends have discovered a special plant life of Mountain Qomolangma.The samples they brought back have helped scientists how plants live in extreme （极端的） conditions.
　　For Jerry， this kind of adventure is most satisfying.“Such adventures had made us see life in a different way.Now， being the best climber isn’t important for me， what matters is doing something helpful while climbing the mountains.There is still much more we can do.” Jerry said to a newspaper.

　　On 7 May 2022， a mountain climber from Nepal set a new world record for climbing Mount Everest the most times.Kami Rita， who’s 52， has now climbed Mount Everest 26 times.
　　Mount Everest is the world’s highest mountain.The mountain is so high that the air is thin.This makes it hard to breathe and remain active.The ice and snow on the mountain， along with cold temperatures and strong winds， make the climb difficult and dangerous.Over 300 people have died trying to climb Mount Everest.
　　Many of the most talented guides， like Kami Rita and Tenzing Norgay， are from a group of people called Sherpas.The Sherpas live in the Himalayan mountains.They have the knowledge and the skills needed to help foreign climbers become successful in their efforts.
　　Kami Rita comes from a mountain climbing family.Kami Rita has been climbing mountains for over 35 years.He climbed Mount Everest for the first time in 1994.Since then， he has climbed the mountain almost every year.
　　In 2019， Kami Rita broke his own record twice in less than a week.He climbed Mount Everest for the 23rd time on 15 May.Just six days later， he climbed it for the 24th time.
　　Though Kami Rita is an expert on Mount Everest， he’s also climbed many other high mountains in the Himalayas.He holds the world record for climbing the most mountains taller than 8，000 meters.In all， he’s climbed 38 mountains taller than 8，000 meters.
　　It’s not clear how long Kami Rita will continue to set climbing records.He has said that he could probably continue to climb until he’s sixty.He once said he would retire after climbing Mount Everest 25 times.
　　Kami Rita says he and his family became guides because they didn’t have money for an education.But he doesn’t want his own children to become climbing guides.He is happy that they can go to school and won’t need to be exposed to the risks and dangers of mountain climbing.

　　20 July 2009 was the 40th anniversary of Apollo 11’s historic flight to the moon， where astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first human beings to walk on the moon.40 years ago， space flight inspired such awe （敬畏） that astronauts were honoured as heroes and celebrities.40 years later none of us， besides space fanatics （狂热者）， would likely to be able to name one astronaut in service today.
　　I got to thinking about the importance of continuing space exploration.I hear many people criticize the importance of NASA and space flight， most saying that it is a waste of time， and more importantly money.I disagree with such assessments.Space exploration is important not only to humanity’s curiosity of the great beyond， but it is also important for the future of the earth and all of us living on it.
　　The Apollo missions inspired a whole generation of kids who wanted to grow up to be astronauts， rocket scientists， and engineers.We all know that science education has been slightly lacking in the United States as of late.Don’t you think that NASA’s return to the moon， or more importantly the much anticipated manned mission to Mars will again inspire a whole new generation to reach for the stars so to speak？ I do.
　　You would think that the guys who burn a million pounds of rocket fuel wouldn’t be the most environmentally minded people in the world.However， most people don’t know that NASA does a lot of good environmental research while they are up there looking down at all of us.NASA has done a lot of work in studying air quality， climate change alternative energy， and near earth objects， which as we all know from the movies can destroy the earth any day now without warning， unless we have a group of oil drillers， a nuke， and Bruce Willis.
　　We cannot ignore the importance of space exploration， nor be complacent （自满的） in its meaning to all of us.I hope space exploration can continue to inspire， educate， and provide for us in the next 40 years as it has the last 40 years.
9.What can we learn from the text？（　　）
A.Armstrong was the first man to fly in space in the world.
B.Science education for American students is highly developed.
C.The author considers space flight as a waste of money and time.
D.People today won’t admire astronauts as much as they did 40 years ago.
10.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to？（　　）
A.Space exploration.　 B.NASA. C.Money.　 D.Humanity.
11.How does NASA make a difference to the environment？（　　）
A.By burning less rocket fuel.
B.By finding greener energy.
C.By changing climate.
D.By making space movies.
12.What’s the best title for the text？（　　）
A.How to Be an Astronaut
B.Where to Study Flight
C.Why to Explore Space
D.How to Do Space Research
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
　　Just like every book， science fiction offers its readers a lot.13.（　　） Whatever your favourite genre （体裁） is， there’s no question that there are plenty of reasons to read sci-fi novels.Here are some of them.
　　Warnings.
　　Sci-fi novels often show a world that depicts （描绘） our possible future.If we keep mistreating the environment， for example， we’ll live in a world with little or no natural resources.14.（　　） Most sci-fi novels have a strong message about the way we’re living.
　　Stretch imagination.
　　Sci-fi novels differ from other genres， because they contain new types of people， places， and inventions to keep things fresh.15.（　　） Having a vivid imagination can have more benefits than you realize.So why not pick up a book and start reading？
　　What if.
　　It’s natural for humans to wonder what would happen if we had run society a different way in the past.These novels explore those ideas.16.（　　） People say that they want an alien invasion， but that’s not the truth.They just love reading about it and considering how the world would react if it did actually occur.
　　For fun.
　　17.（　　） When you have free time， you don’t want to waste it.If you like reading sci-fi novels because they give you enjoyment， then you need no other reason to do so.Do whatever makes you happiest！
　　If you’ve never read sci-fi novels before， you should give them a chance.
A.This can help you to expand your imagination.
B.There are plenty of sci-fi stories that aren’t just set in space.
C.The main reason you should read anything is that you enjoy it.
D.If we keep relying on technology， robots will take control over the world.
E.It is not only entertaining， but it can also teach you something about the world.
F.Some people admit they thought some sci-fi movies were based on actual events.
G.They give us a brief idea of what life might have been like if we had acted in a certain way.

CLIMBING QOMOLANGMA： WORTH THE RISKS？
　　Last year， hundreds of people spent good money on①an experience [1]that they knew would include crowds②， discomfort③and danger.Many [2]would become sick， due to④the extreme cold and low air pressure， and a few would even lose their lives⑤.Yet， despite⑥ all this， by the end of⑦ the trip many were already planning to return.For these people，[3]climbing Qomolangma is an experience like no other， [4]making some feel weak and [5]others， powerful.
　　[1]that引导定语从句，在从句中作主语。
　　[2]would do ...表示过去将来时；become sick意为“生病”， become是系动词，形容词sick作表语。
　　[3]climbing Qomolangma是动词-ing短语作主语。
　　[4]making some feel weak ...是动词-ing短语作定语修饰前面的experience； make sb do sth意为“让某人做某事”。
　　[5]others， powerful是省略成分，原句应该为making others powerful。
　　British mountain climber George Mallory wrote of⑧ climbing Qomolangma，“[6]What we get from this adventure is just sheer⑨ joy ... We do not live [7]to eat and make money.We eat and make money⑩ to be able to enjoy life.That is [8]what life means and what life is for.” Sadly， Mallory would die on the mountain in 1924， [9]although his body would not be found until many years later.[10]It is still not known if he succeeded in reaching the top of Qomolangma before it took his life .
　　[6]What引导主语从句，并在从句中作get的宾语。
　　[7]to eat and make money是并列状语，make前面省略了to。
　　[8]what life means and what life is for中两个what都引导表语从句。
　　[9]although引导让步状语从句，通常不和and， but， so连用。
　　[10]该句中It是形式主语，if从句是真正的主语。
　　In 2011，words similar to [11]those of Mallory were spoken by American mountain climber Alan Arnette， [12]who climbed Qomolangma in that year and was going to climb other high mountains around the world .“It brings into focus [13]what’s important to you.” He added， “There are a thousand reasons to turn around and only one to keep going.You really have to focus on the one reason [14]that’s most important and unique to you.It forces you to look deep inside yourself and figure out if you really have the physical， as well as mental， toughness to push when you want to stop.”
　　[11]those是代词，指代前面提到的words。
　　[12]who引导非限制性定语从句，修饰前面的Alan Arnette，补充说明这个人的情况。
　　[13]what引导宾语从句，并在从句中作主语。
　　[14]that引导定语从句，在从句中作主语，且不可省略。
　　[15]With the majority of attempts to climb Qomolangma resulting either in total success or failure ， is there also a scientific reason behind this risk-taking？Recent studies indicate that risk-taking may be part of human nature， with some of us more likely to take risks than others.Psychologist Frank Farley has spent years studying people who jump out of planes and drive fast cars， as well as those who climb Qomolangma.He refers to the personalities of these people as “Type T”， with the “T” standing for “thrill ”.
　　Speaking to the LA Times about the “Type T” personalities， Farley said， “They’ll say， ‘I’m not taking risks， I’m an expert ...’They don’t want to die and they don’t expect to die.”
　　Research also [16]suggests that our desire to seek risks can be connected to how much we expect to benefit from the result.
　　With this in mind， are the benefits of climbing Qomolangma worth the risks？ It’s totally up to you.
　　[15]with复合结构，即“with＋宾语＋宾语补足语”，宾语是the majority of attempts to climb Qomolangma，宾语补足语是resulting either in total success or failure。
　　[16]suggest此处意思是“表明”， that引导宾语从句。

攀登珠穆朗玛峰：值得冒险吗？
　　明知道会是一次拥挤、不舒适而又危险的体验，去年仍有数百人愿意为此花费大价钱。由于极端严寒与低气压，很多人会生病，甚至有少数人会丢掉性命。尽管如此，在旅程的结尾，已经有很多人在计划着重返这里。对于这些人来说，攀登珠穆朗玛峰是一项独一无二的体验，它让一些人感受到脆弱的同时也让另一些人感受到强大。
　　英国登山家乔治·马洛里曾这样记述攀登珠峰的体验：“我们从这项冒险活动中获得的是纯粹的快乐……我们活着不是为了吃饭和挣钱。我们吃饭和挣钱是为了能够享受生活。这才是生活的意义和目标。”可惜的是，1924年马洛里在登山过程中身亡，而他的遗体多年后才被找到。至今人们也不知道他生前是否成功登顶了珠峰。
　　2011年，美国登山家艾伦·阿内特也说过与马洛里类似的话。那一年他登上了珠峰，之后又准备去攀登世界各地其他的高山。“登山让你聚焦于对你而言重要的事，”他补充道，“纵使有一千个理由让你回头，但总有一个让你继续前行。你必须专注于那一个对你来说最重要也最独特的理由。它会强迫你去深入地审视自己，去思考自己的身体和心灵是否足够坚强，能在你想放弃的时候推动你继续向前。”
　　攀登珠峰的大多数尝试要么大获全胜，要么彻底失败，这一冒险行为的背后是否也有科学解释呢？近日有研究指出，冒险可能是人类天性中的一部分，而有些人比其他人更愿意去冒险。心理学家弗兰克·法利曾花费数年时间研究那些高空跳伞、飚车以及攀登珠峰的人。他把这些人的人格特征称作“T型人格”，“T”代表“刺激”。
　　在对《洛杉矶时报》描述“T型人格”时，法利说道：“他们会说‘我并不是在冒险，我是这方面的专家……’。他们并不想死，也不认为自己会死。”
　　研究还表明，我们对于冒险的渴望与我们期待从中获得多少好处有关。
　　了解这些之后，你认为攀登珠峰带来的好处值得人们去冒险吗？答案完全取决于你自己。

CLIMBING QOMOLANGMA： WORTH THE RISKS？
　　Last year， hundreds of people spent good money on①an experience
[1]that they knew would include crowds②， discomfort③and
danger.Many [2]would become sick， due to④the extreme cold and low
air pressure， and a few would even lose their lives⑤.Yet， despite⑥ all
this， by the end of⑦ the trip many were already planning to return.For
these people，[3]climbing Qomolangma is an experience like no other，
[4]making some feel weak and [5]others， powerful.
　　[1]that引导定语从句，在从句中作主语。
　　[2]would do ...表示过去将来时；become sick意为“生病”，
become是系动词，形容词sick作表语。
　　[3]climbing Qomolangma是动词-ing短语作主语。
　　[4]making some feel weak ...是动词-ing短语作定语修饰前面的
experience； make sb do sth意为“让某人做某事”。
　　[5]others， powerful是省略成分，原句应该为making others
powerful。
【读文清障】
①spend money on在……上花钱
②crowd n.人群
③discomfort n.不舒服；不安
④due to 由于
⑤lose one’s life失去某人的生命
⑥despite prep.尽管，不管
⑦by the end of到……的结尾
　　British mountain climber George Mallory wrote of⑧ climbing
Qomolangma，“[6]What we get from this adventure is just sheer⑨
joy ... We do not live [7]to eat and make money.We eat and make
money⑩ to be able to enjoy life.That is [8]what life means and what life
is for.” Sadly， Mallory would die on the mountain in 1924，
[9]although his body would not be found until many years later.[10]It is
still not known if he succeeded in reaching the top of Qomolangma
before it took his life .
　　[6]What引导主语从句，并在从句中作get的宾语。
　　[7]to eat and make money是并列状语，make前面省略了
to。
　　[8]what life means and what life is for中两个what都引导表

　　[9]although引导让步状语从句，通常不和and， but， so连
用。
　　[10]该句中It是形式主语，if从句是真正的主语。
⑧write of 写到；文章中提及
⑨sheer adj.纯粹的，十足的
⑩make money 赚钱
be able to do sth有能力做某事
succeed in doing sth成功做某事
take one’s life夺走某人的生命
　　In 2011，words similar to [11]those of Mallory were spoken by
American mountain climber Alan Arnette， [12]who climbed
Qomolangma in that year and was going to climb other high mountains
around the world .“It brings into focus [13]what’s important to
you.” He added， “There are a thousand reasons to turn around and
only one to keep going.You really have to focus on the one reason
[14]that’s most important and unique to you.It forces you to look deep
inside yourself and figure out if you really have the physical， as well as
mental， toughness to push when you want to stop.”
　　[11]those是代词，指代前面提到的words。
　　[12]who引导非限制性定语从句，修饰前面的Alan Arnette，补充
说明这个人的情况。
　　[13]what引导宾语从句，并在从句中作主语。
　　[14]that引导定语从句，在从句中作主语，且不可省略。
（be） similar to与……相似
around the world全世界
bring ... into focus使……成为焦点
turn around 转身
focus on 集中精力于
figure out 弄明白，搞清楚
as well as 和
　　[15]With the majority of attempts to climb Qomolangma resulting
either in total success or failure ， is there also a scientific reason
behind this risk-taking？Recent studies indicate that risk-taking may be
part of human nature， with some of us more likely to take risks than
others.Psychologist Frank Farley has spent years studying people who
jump out of planes and drive fast cars， as well as those who climb
Qomolangma.He refers to the personalities of these people as “Type
T”， with the “T” standing for “thrill ”.
　　Speaking to the LA Times about the “Type T” personalities，
Farley said， “They’ll say， ‘I’m not taking risks， I’m an
expert ...’They don’t want to die and they don’t expect to die.”
　　Research also [16]suggests that our desire to seek risks can be
connected to how much we expect to benefit from the result.
　　With this in mind， are the benefits of climbing Qomolangma worth
the risks？ It’s totally up to you.
　　[15]with复合结构，即“with＋宾语＋宾语补足语”，宾语是the
majority of attempts to climb Qomolangma，宾语补足语是resulting
either in total success or failure。
　　[16]suggest此处意思是“表明”， that引导宾语从句。
attempt n.努力，尝试
either ...or ...要么……要么……

【参考译文】
攀登珠穆朗玛峰：值得冒险吗？
　　明知道会是一次拥挤、不舒适而又危险的体验，去年仍有数百人
愿意为此花费大价钱。由于极端严寒与低气压，很多人会生病，甚至
有少数人会丢掉性命。尽管如此，在旅程的结尾，已经有很多人在计
划着重返这里。对于这些人来说，攀登珠穆朗玛峰是一项独一无二的
体验，它让一些人感受到脆弱的同时也让另一些人感受到强大。
　　英国登山家乔治·马洛里曾这样记述攀登珠峰的体验：“我们从
这项冒险活动中获得的是纯粹的快乐……我们活着不是为了吃饭和挣
钱。我们吃饭和挣钱是为了能够享受生活。这才是生活的意义和目
标。”可惜的是，1924年马洛里在登山过程中身亡，而他的遗体多年
后才被找到。至今人们也不知道他生前是否成功登顶了珠峰。
　　2011年，美国登山家艾伦·阿内特也说过与马洛里类似的话。那一
年他登上了珠峰，之后又准备去攀登世界各地其他的高山。“登山让
你聚焦于对你而言重要的事，”他补充道，“纵使有一千个理由让你
回头，但总有一个让你继续前行。你必须专注于那一个对你来说最重
要也最独特的理由。它会强迫你去深入地审视自己，去思考自己的身
体和心灵是否足够坚强，能在你想放弃的时候推动你继续向前。”
　　攀登珠峰的大多数尝试要么大获全胜，要么彻底失败，这一冒险
行为的背后是否也有科学解释呢？近日有研究指出，冒险可能是人类
天性中的一部分，而有些人比其他人更愿意去冒险。心理学家弗兰
克·法利曾花费数年时间研究那些高空跳伞、飚车以及攀登珠峰的
人。他把这些人的人格特征称作“T型人格”，“T”代表“刺激”。
　　在对《洛杉矶时报》描述“T型人格”时，法利说道：“他们会
说‘我并不是在冒险，我是这方面的专家……’。他们并不想死，也
不认为自己会死。”
　　研究还表明，我们对于冒险的渴望与我们期待从中获得多少好处
有关。
　　了解这些之后，你认为攀登珠峰带来的好处值得人们去冒险吗？
答案完全取决于你自己。

　　Jerry is a world-famous mountain climber.He has climbed many high
mountains in the world.Starting in 2015， he and his friends spent two
years on an adventure in South America， covering 7，800 miles.He was
even named Adventure of the Year by a famous geography magazine in
2018.
　　Although Jerry had achieved great success， he didn’t feel
fulfilled.He asked himself， “Is it enough to climb the highest
mountains？ Am I doing something helpful？ How can I turn my
adventures into something that can help the world？”
　　Jerry learned that scientists need plants， rocks and water samples
（样本） from the places far away to do research.But scientists can’t get
there themselves as such places are hard to reach — only the bravest
adventurers can make it.Jerry thought himself could do something to
help.He then came up with an idea.He set up a team of top adventures to
collect samples for scientists.By studying the samples， scientists could
know more about the Earth and find ways to protect it.
　　Recently Jerry and his adventurer friends have discovered a special
plant life of Mountain Qomolangma.The samples they brought back have
helped scientists how plants live in extreme （极端的） conditions.
　　For Jerry， this kind of adventure is most satisfying.“Such
adventures had made us see life in a different way.Now， being the best
climber isn’t important for me， what matters is doing something helpful
while climbing the mountains.There is still much more we can do.” Jerry
said to a newspaper.

　　On 7 May 2022， a mountain climber from Nepal set a new world
record for climbing Mount Everest the most times.Kami Rita， who’s
52， has now climbed Mount Everest 26 times.
　　Mount Everest is the world’s highest mountain.The mountain is so
high that the air is thin.This makes it hard to breathe and remain
active.The ice and snow on the mountain， along with cold temperatures
and strong winds， make the climb difficult and dangerous.Over 300
people have died trying to climb Mount Everest.
　　Many of the most talented guides， like Kami Rita and Tenzing
Norgay， are from a group of people called Sherpas.The Sherpas live in
the Himalayan mountains.They have the knowledge and the skills needed
to help foreign climbers become successful in their efforts.
　　Kami Rita comes from a mountain climbing family.Kami Rita has
been climbing mountains for over 35 years.He climbed Mount Everest for
the first time in 1994.Since then， he has climbed the mountain almost
every year.
　　In 2019， Kami Rita broke his own record twice in less than a
week.He climbed Mount Everest for the 23rd time on 15 May.Just six
days later， he climbed it for the 24th time.
　　Though Kami Rita is an expert on Mount Everest， he’s also
climbed many other high mountains in the Himalayas.He holds the world
record for climbing the most mountains taller than 8，000 meters.In all，
he’s climbed 38 mountains taller than 8，000 meters.
　　It’s not clear how long Kami Rita will continue to set climbing
records.He has said that he could probably continue to climb until he’s
sixty.He once said he would retire after climbing Mount Everest 25 times.
　　Kami Rita says he and his family became guides because they didn’t
have money for an education.But he doesn’t want his own children to
become climbing guides.He is happy that they can go to school and
won’t need to be exposed to the risks and dangers of mountain climbing.

　　20 July 2009 was the 40th anniversary of Apollo 11’s historic flight
to the moon， where astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became
the first human beings to walk on the moon.40 years ago， space flight
inspired such awe （敬畏） that astronauts were honoured as heroes and
celebrities.40 years later none of us， besides space fanatics （狂热
者）， would likely to be able to name one astronaut in service today.
　　I got to thinking about the importance of continuing space
exploration.I hear many people criticize the importance of NASA and
space flight， most saying that it is a waste of time， and more
importantly money.I disagree with such assessments.Space exploration is
important not only to humanity’s curiosity of the great beyond， but it is
also important for the future of the earth and all of us living on it.
　　The Apollo missions inspired a whole generation of kids who wanted
to grow up to be astronauts， rocket scientists， and engineers.We all
know that science education has been slightly lacking in the United States
as of late.Don’t you think that NASA’s return to the moon， or more
importantly the much anticipated manned mission to Mars will again
inspire a whole new generation to reach for the stars so to speak？ I do.
　　You would think that the guys who burn a million pounds of rocket
fuel wouldn’t be the most environmentally minded people in the
world.However， most people don’t know that NASA does a lot of good
environmental research while they are up there looking down at all of
us.NASA has done a lot of work in studying air quality， climate change
alternative energy， and near earth objects， which as we all know from
the movies can destroy the earth any day now without warning， unless we
have a group of oil drillers， a nuke， and Bruce Willis.
　　We cannot ignore the importance of space exploration， nor be
complacent （自满的） in its meaning to all of us.I hope space
exploration can continue to inspire， educate， and provide for us in the
next 40 years as it has the last 40 years.

Ⅱ.阅读七选五
　　Just like every book， science fiction offers its readers a lot.13.
（　　） Whatever your favourite genre （体裁） is， there’s no
question that there are plenty of reasons to read sci-fi novels.Here are
some of them.
　　Warnings.
　　Sci-fi novels often show a world that depicts （描绘） our possible
future.If we keep mistreating the environment， for example， we’ll
live in a world with little or no natural resources.14.（　　） Most sci-fi
novels have a strong message about the way we’re living.
　　Stretch imagination.
　　Sci-fi novels differ from other genres， because they contain new
types of people， places， and inventions to keep things fresh.15.
（　　） Having a vivid imagination can have more benefits than you
realize.So why not pick up a book and start reading？
　　What if.
　　It’s natural for humans to wonder what would happen if we had run
society a different way in the past.These novels explore those ideas.16.
（　　） People say that they want an alien invasion， but that’s not the
truth.They just love reading about it and considering how the world would
react if it did actually occur.
　　For fun.
　　17. （　　） When you have free time， you don’t want to waste
it.If you like reading sci-fi novels because they give you enjoyment， then
you need no other reason to do so.Do whatever makes you happiest！
　　If you’ve never read sci-fi novels before， you should give them a
chance.
A. This can help you to expand your imagination.
B. There are plenty of sci-fi stories that aren’t just set in space.
C. The main reason you should read anything is that you enjoy it.
D. If we keep relying on technology， robots will take control over the
world.
E. It is not only entertaining， but it can also teach you something about
the world.
F. Some people admit they thought some sci-fi movies were based on
actual events.
G. They give us a brief idea of what life might have been like if we had
acted in a certain way.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了科幻小说值得一读的几
个原因。
13. E　根据空前一句可知，和其他书一样，科幻小说的读者也受益
良多。E项（它不仅有趣，还能教你去认识世界）对此做出进一步说
明，符合语境。E项中的It指代空前的science fiction。
14. D　根据本段小标题Warnings.可知，本段介绍了科幻小说的
警示作用，D项（如果我们继续依赖科技，那么机器人就会掌控这
个世界）与小标题相呼应，符合语境，且D项与设空处前一句构成
并列关系。
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了科幻小说值得一读的几
个原因。
15. A　空前一句指出：科幻小说包含新的人物、地点和发明，给读
者带来新鲜感；空后一句指出：拥有生动的想象力的好处比你意识到
的要多，故A项（这有助于丰富你的想象力）符合语境。A项中的
imagination与小标题和空后一句中的imagination是原词复现。
16. G　根据空前两句可知，人类总会好奇，如果我们的社会以前是
以不同的方式运转的，那会发生什么事情呢？这就是科幻小说的内
容。G项承接上文，进一步做出说明，符合语境。G项中的They指代
空前一句中的These novels。
17. C　根据本段小标题For fun.可知，本段内容围绕乐趣展开，C项
（你应该阅读的主要理由是你很欣赏它）符合语境。C项中的enjoy it
与本段中的enjoyment和happiest相呼应。
谢谢观看！
