问题  
H.G.Wells was born in 1866. His energy must have been enormous, for he wrote an astonishing number of books. Many of the later ones were concerned with his idea that mankind would have to create a world state, if it was not to end up by destroying itself.     There were novels like Kipps, Love and Mr. Lewisham and The History of Mr. Polly. The best of these are now recognized as classics. But in addition, this incredible man somehow found the time and inspiration to write the stories forecasting future events that entitle him to be known as the father of science fiction.
    When The War in the Air appeared in 1908, how many people could have foreseen that within thirty years great cities were going to be destroyed by bombs dropped from aeroplanes? The First Men in the Moon was published in 1901. How many of those who read it realized that men really were going to walk on the moon within their lifetime?
    And what about The Time Machine and The Invisible Man? Are we going to wake up one morning and find that here too Wells was forecasting events which were going to come true? Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard.
16. Why does the speaker say that Wells had a lot of energy?
17. Which of the followings is not a science fiction written by H. G. Wells?
18. What happened within thirty years of the publication of The War in the Air?

选项 A、The History of Mr. Polly.
B、The War in the Air.
C、The First Men in the Moon.
D、The Time Machine.

答案A
