高二英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

Science fiction writers create imaginary worlds. The way things work in your imaginary worlds will be based on actual science. So it’s important for you to be familiar with the scientific principles and inventions that are related to your creation. For example, if you’re writing about human living on a planet with zero gravity, then you need to know the effects of zero gravity on the human body.

Then you have to figure out the exact rules of your imaginary worlds. And you have to follow them. If humans are able to breathe underwater in Chapter 1, your character can’t drown in a swimming pool in Chapter 3. The issue here is maintaining your readers’ trust. That means the readers are willing to pretend along with you. If you start out with an ordinary detective novel and then throw in someone breathing underwater in the 6th chapter, you will pull the readers out of their imagination. The same thing happens if you change the rules halfway.

Part of your preparation work for the novel is to map out its worlds in great detail. You should decide the following issues: the history of the world, the geography, what possibilities it offers, how everything works in this new reality, and how all of these factors affect the way your characters think, feel, and react to things. You don’t have to tell your readers all the rules in the first chapter. But you have to let readers know enough to understand what’s going on. This also allows you to work out logical problems and contradictions before you start writing.

When you are writing, remember to make it feel real. You are inviting readers to visit a new world. They will want to be able to see, hear, feel, smell, and even taste what it’s like. Whether your novel is about a world without disease or an undiscovered planet, help your readers feel like they’re actually there.

1.What’s the relationship between actual science and science fiction?

A. Science fiction promotes the development of actual science.

B. Science fiction often reflects the development of actual science.

C. Actual science limits the imagination described in science fiction.

D. Actual science provides basic principles for science fiction.

2.The second paragraph is mainly developed by 　　　　 .

A. making comparisons　　 B. giving examples

C. following the time order　　 D. analyzing causes

3.Which of the following statements is TRUE?

A. It is necessary to do some scientific experiments before writing science fiction.

B. It is more difficult to write science fiction than ordinary detective novels.

C. Readers of science fiction actually pretend the writers’ rules are true.

D. It is great to leave some contradictions in your science fiction.

4.The passage is mainly about 　　　　 .

A. how to do scientific research　　 B. how to raise interest in science

C. what to expect from science fiction　　 D. how to write science fiction

It is only during the last few years that man has generally realized that in the world of nature a balance exists between all forms of life. No living thing can exist by itself. It is part of a system in which all forms of life are joined together. If we change one part of the nature order, this will almost certainly bring about changes in some other parts.

　The cutting of forests reduced the supply of oxygen. The killing of weeds and insects by chemicals led to the wide-spread poisoning of animals and birds. The throwing of waste products into the ocean hurt life in the sea, while waste gases changed the chemical balance of the atmosphere and shut out some of the sun’s necessary life-giving rays.

　And so we could go on adding more examples until in despair(绝望) we might feel like giving up the struggle to control these harmful human activities. Man is very clever at changing the world around him to satisfy his immediate needs, but he is not so clever at looking far ahead, or at thinking about what the future results of his action might be. Man may well destroy himself because of his silly action.

1.The first paragraph tells us that _____.

2.In the second paragraph the examples given are used to prove that _____.

3.The last paragraph suggests that in order to get his immediate benefits(利益) _____.

4.Which of the following is true according to the passage?

It is only during the last few years that man has generally realized that in the world of nature a balance exists between all forms of life. No living thing can exist by itself: it is a part of a system (体系) in which all forms of life are joined together. If we change one part of the natural order, this will in its turn almost certainly bring about changes in some other part.

The cutting down of forests reduces the supply of oxygen. The killing of weeds and insects by chemicals leads to the wide spread poisoning of animals and birds. The throwing of waste products into the ocean harm to life in the sea, while waste gases change the chemical balance of the atmosphere.

And so we could go on, adding more examples, until in despair (绝望) we might feel like giving up the struggle to control and keep within limits these harmful human activities. Man is very clever at changing the world around him to satisfy his immediate needs, but not so clever at looking far ahead, or at thinking about what the future results of his action might be.

Moksh Jawa, 16, a student at Washington High School in the US, has already become a legend(传奇) among students. “Why not?” might be his favorite question to ask.

As a seventh-grader, he taught himself coding(编程) by studying on the Internet.

As a high school freshman, he passed the AP Computer Science A exam with a 5, the highest score possible.

As a sophomore (高中二年级学生), he developed his own online course and helped his classmates get through it because his high school didn't teach coding.

Everything he did came from his own interest. His father sent him a link to Codeacademy, an online coding training program, in middle school. He learned a programming(编程) language all by himself after signing up to the website.

“I just fell in love with computer science,” Jawa said. Along the way, he lit a fire of curiosity and passion among classmates to learn coding too.

“All of my friends, especially the girls, were really, really afraid of computer science,” he said. But the subject and exam weren't things to be feared, he said, “Computer science is all about logic(逻辑), not about how smart you are. ”

To make his knowledge available online, Jawa set about creating his own online course, with easy-to-follow lessons. He included quizzes and tests too.

The course has so far attracted 3, 200 students across the US and in 120 countries and regions, including China, Ukraine and Algeria.　 It shows, Jawa said, the huge need for coding lessons.

When video lecturing, “I deliver it like I'm talking from one high school student to another .” Jawa said.“ It's always great to make it as clear and fun as possible, and to try to keep my voice as energetic as possible. ”

He also does that, when teaching members of the computer science club he founded at his high school.

“His tutorials(辅导) were great, ”said Taj Shaik, the club's co-president, who took the whole course last year. “I'm definitely one of the early adopters(使用者) of Moksh. ”

“He's pretty amazing, ”said Bob Moran, principal of Washington High School, who saw him lead the club. “He was just a fantastic teacher—clear, organized and entertaining. When a student got the right answer, he would throw him a candy. ”

1.Which of the following probably made Moksh Jawa a legend among students?

A.He created his own online coding course.

B.He welcomes any kind of challenge by asking, “Why not?”

C.He learned an intermediate programming language.

D.He earns a lot of money by coding for companies.

2.Which of the following would Jawa probably agree with?

A.You have to be smart to learn computer science well.

B.Interest is the most important when learning coding.

C.Computer science is not difficult to learn.

D.Coding is useful and everyone should know it.

3.According to the article, when teaching, Jawa ______.

A.is patient but strict with his students

B.likes to do things in a fixed order

C.usually applies unusual teaching methods

D.tries to make his classes simple yet interesting
