问题     Many people seem to think that science fiction is typified by the Bug-eyed Monster, embodying every feature that most people find repulsive. This is unfortunate because it degrades a worthwhile literary endeavor. Instead, the basic interest of science fiction lies in the relation between man and his technology and between man and the universe. Science fiction is a literature of change and a literature of the future, and the aspects of human life that it considers make it well worth reading and studying for no other literary form does quite the same things. What is science fiction? To begin, the following definition should be helpful: science fiction is a literary subgenre which postulates(以……为前提) a change (for human beings) from conditions as we know them and follows the implications of these changes to a conclusion.
    The first point that science fiction is a literary sub genre--is a very important one, but one which is often overlooked or ignored in most discussions of science fiction. Specifically, science fiction is either a short story or a novel. There are only a few dramas which could be called science fiction, the body of poetry that might be labeled science fiction is only slightly larger. To say that science fiction is a subgenre of prose fiction is to say that it has all the basic characteristics and serves the same basic functions in much the same way as prose fiction in general, that is, it shares a great deal with all other novels and short stories.
    Everything that can be said about prose fiction, in general, applies to science fiction. Every piece of science fiction, whether short story or novel, must have a narrator, a story, a plot, the themes of science fiction are concerned with interpreting man’s nature and experience in relation to the world around him. Themes in science fiction are constructed and presented in exactly the same ways that themes are dealt with in any other kind of fiction. They are the result to a particular combination of a narrator, story, plot, character, setting, and language. In short, the reasons for reading and enjoying science fiction, and the ways of studying and analyzing it, are basically the same as they would be for any other story or novel.
One implication of the final sentence in the passage is that ______.

选项 A、the reader should turn next to commentaries on general fiction
B、there is no reason for any reader not to like science fiction
C、the reader should compare other novels and stories to science fiction
D、those who can appreciate prose fiction can appreciate science fiction

答案D

解析 细节推理题。文章最后一句话“In short,the reasons...any other story or novel”阅读和欣赏科幻小说的原因,以及学习和分析科幻小说的方式,基本上同其他类型的小说是相同的。由此可推断出能够欣赏小说的人同样能够欣赏科幻小说,所以正确答案为D。A读者应该求助于一般小说的评论DB任何读者都没有理由不喜欢科幻小说;C读者应该将科幻小说同其他小说进行比较;都与原文不符,为错误答案。
