1. Among the most popular books being written today are those that are usually classified(分类) as science fiction. Hundreds of titles are published every year and are read by all kinds of people. Furthermore, some of the most successful films of recent years have been based on science fiction stories.
2. It is often thought that science fiction is a fairly new development in literature, but its ancestors (先驱)can be found in books written hundreds of years ago. These books were often concerned with the presentation of some forms of ideal society, a theme that is still often found in modern stories.
3. Most of the classics of science fiction, however, have been written within the last hundred years. Books by writers such as Jules Verne and H. G. Wells, to mention just two well-known authors, have been translated into many languages.
4. Modern science fiction writers don’t write about men from Mars(火星) or space adventure stories. They are more interested in predicting the results of technical developments on society and the human mind ; or in imagining future worlds that are a reflection of the world that we live in now. Because of this their writing has obvious political undertones (涵义).
5. In an age where science fact frequently overtakes (超过)science fiction, the writers may find it difficult to keep ahead of scientific advances. Those who are sufficiently clear-sighted to see the way we are going, however, may provide a valuable lesson on how to deal with the problems which society will inevitably face as it tries to master its new technology.
A. Fairly New Development
B. Classics of Science Fiction
C. Difficulty in Keeping ahead of Scientific Advances
D. Origins of Science Fiction
E. Themes of Modern Science Fiction
Paragraph 2______
选项
答案D
解析 本题考查的是对所读材料大意与主旨的掌握。第二段第一句说科幻小说常被认为是文学中较新的一种事物，但它的先驱可以在几百年以前写的书中找到。连词but在这里起转折作用。第一句的中心词是ancestors，与origin意思相似，根据这一线索，我们得知该段是在介绍科幻小说的起源。故选D。
