| Among the most popular books being written today are those which are usually classified 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 in recent years have been based on science fiction stories. It is often thought that science fiction is a fairly new development in literature, but it can be found in books written hundreds of years ago. These books were often concerned with the presentation of some form of ideal society, a theme which is still often found in modern stories. Most of the classics of science fiction, however, have been written within the last one hundred years. Books by writers such as Jules Verne and H. Wells, to mention just two well-known authors, have been translated into many languages. Modern science fiction writers don't write about men from Mars 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 world which results the world we live in now. Because of this their writing has obvious political undertones. In an age where science fact frequently overtakes science fiction, the writers may find it difficult to keep ahead of scientific advances.Those who see the future clearly can teach us how to master new technology and live in a rapidly changing world. |
| 1. You can find science fiction ______. |
| A. only in modern literature B. only in books written for children C. in books written today and hundreds of years ago D. as a new development in literature |
| 2. Modern science fiction writers are interested in ______. |
| A. writing about men from Mars B. writing about everything but politics C. imagining future world with the results of technical developments D. writing space adventure stories |
| 3. It can be concluded that modern science fiction____________. |
| A. reflects social political reform B. shows the writer's viewpoints C. is not as good as that in the past D. is better than other literary forms |
| 4. Science fiction writers may provide a valuable lesson on how to deal with the problems of ______. |
| A. conflict used by different political theories B. adopting new technology and adapting quickly to its effect on society C. conflict caused by different religious beliefs D. space adventure |
| 5. Which of the following statements is NOT true？ |
| A. Science fiction often overtakes science fact. B. Writers may find it hard to keep ahead of scientific advances. C.

| According to the United States government, people are classified as homeless if they have no place to stay and no expectation of finding a place for the next thirty days. Although technically accurate, that is an impersonal assessment of an enormous and very human problem. The homeless population represents all of us Americans. It includes men and women, the elderly, children, and infants. Its members are from all ethnic groups. What they have in common is poverty. Currently in the U S, thirty-nine million people live in poverty. When money is really tight, paying the rent or buying food often becomes a choice. Government assistance in the form of food stamps does help but, as one homeless man explains, you can't pay the rent with food stamps. With no money for rent, the streets and homeless shelters become the alternative. Although men constitute the largest group within the homeless population, homeless women with children are rapidly joining them. In fact, one quarter of the homeless people in the US are teenagers and young children. People may become homeless for numerous reasons. However, there are certain factors that many of these individuals have in common. They include a lack of adequate education and job skills. A majority of the teenagers and adults have not completed high school. The abuse of alcohol and drugs is also a common factor. One third of the adult homeless population abuses alcohol. While one quarter of the same group uses drugs. Some members of this population suffer mental health problems. Within the past several years many institutions for the mentally ill have been closed and their patients sent "home". Unfortunately, a number of those people have no home to go to and they are unable to adequately look after themselves. Job loss in today's economy has also become a real factor in the loss of people's homes. The breakup of families through abandonment and divorce are also contributing factors, particularly when there are children involved. The parent who is left to care for the kids with inadequate income may be forced to depend on the homeless shelters to put a roof over their heads. |
| 1. The writer thinks that the US government's definition for the homeless reveals _____. |
| A. an insincere attitude toward the homeless B. an unbearable attitude toward the homeless C. an uncivilized attitude toward the homeless D. an unsympathetic attitude toward the homeless |
| 2. The US government helps the homeless by _____. |
| A. giving them homeless allowance B. giving them food stamps C. finding jobs for them D. finding residence for them |
| 3. People become homeless for all the following reasons EXCEPT _____. |
| A. the lack of adequate education B. the abuse of alcohol and drugs C. the closure of institutions for the mentally ill D. the poor performance of economy |
| 4. The breakup of families is likely to lead to homelessness because a parent with kids may _____. |
| A. lose his or her job in today's economy B. be unable to look after the kids C. not have enough income D. find residence at a homeless shelter |

| Many foreigners who have not visited Britain call all the inhabitants (居民) English, for they are used to thinking of the British Isles as England. In fact, the British Isles contain a variety of peoples and only the people of England call themselves English. The others refer to themselves as Welsh, Scottish, or Irish, as the case may be; they are often slightly annoyed (苦恼) at being classified as 'English'. In Scotland the sound denoted by the letter 'R' is generally a strong sound, and 'R' is often pronounced in words in which it would be silent in southern English. In the Highlands and the Western Isles the ancient Scottish language, Gaelic, is still heard. The Scots are said to be a serious, cautious, thrifty (节约的) people, rather inventive (善于创造的) and somewhat mystical. All the Celtic peoples of Britain (the Welsh, the Irish, the Scots) are often described as being more 'fiery (暴躁的)' than the English. They are often of a race that is quite different from the English. The Welsh have protected their language to a remarkable extent. The English generally look upon the Welsh as an emotional (易动感情的) people who are, however, somewhat difficult to get to know easily. Ireland is divided into two parts. The six countries of Northern Ireland are still part of Great Britain, though, in normal circumstances (环境), they have their own Parliament. The Irish are known for their charm and vivacity (活泼), as well as for the beauty of the Irish girls. Irish, often calls Erse, is a form of Gaelic. It was in danger of dying out, but when the territory (地域) of the Republic became independent, Erse was received, and is now the official first language of the Republic, English being the second. The Irish are known for their charm and vivacity, as well as for the beauty of the Irish girls. |
| 1. Why do many foreigners call the inhabitants English？ |
[ ] |
| A. Because only English live on the British Isles. B. Because only English plays a more important role than the others. C. Because all the people are glad to be regarded as English. D. Because they are used to thinking of the British Isles as England. |
| 2. Today we still can hear Gaelic--the ancient Scottish language in _____. |
[ ] |
| A. both England and Scotland B. both Wales and Ireland C. both Highland and Western Isles D. both Northern Ireland and England |
| 3. According to the passage, which of the statements is TRUE？ |
[ ] |
| A. "R" is often pronounced in words in which it would be silent in north English. B. The Welsh, the Irish and the Scots are all the Celtic peoples of Britain. C. The Celtic peoples are often of a race that is little different from the English. D. The Welsh have not protected their language very carefully. |
| 4. Irish is a form of _____, and is now the official _____ language of the Republic. |
[ ] |
| A. English; first B. Gaelic; second C. Gaelic; first D. English; second |
