【题目】Time Travel

If you could travel in time, where would you go? Perhaps you would watch an originalperformance of a Shakespeare’s play in Elizabethan England?

What about hanging out with Laozi in the Spring and Autumn Period? Or maybe you’d voyage far ahead of the present day to see what the future holds.

The possibility of time travel is indeed appealing. Stories exploring the subject have been around for hundreds of years. Perhaps the best known example is science fiction novel The Time Machine, which was written by H.G.Wells and published in 1895 for the first time. It was adapted into at least two feature films of the same name, as well as two television versions, and a large number of comic book adaptations. It is generally credited with the popularization of the concept of time travel using a vehicle that allows an operator to travel purposefully and selectively. The term “time machine”, coined by

Wells, is now universally used to refer to a vehicle transporting people into the far future.

But could time travel actually be possible? Some scientists say yes, in theroy. They propose using cracks in time and space called“wormholes”,which could be used as shortcuts to other periods．Einstein's theory of relativity allows time travel in extreme circumstances．And British physicist Stephen Hawking says you could travel into the future with a really fast spaceship—going at nearly the speed of light．Though building such a spaceship would of course be no simple task．

Even if/span> you could travel into the past, there is something called the “grandfather paradox”．It asks what would happen if a time traveler were to go back in time and have his own grandfather killed for some reason, and therefore prevent himself from being born．If the time traveler wasn't born, how would he travel back in time？

And would you really like to visit the future？In H．G．Wells' book,the main character travels into distant time where he arrives at a beach and is attacked by giant crabs．He then voyages 30 million years into the future where the only living thing is a black object with tentacles（触角）.

If that's what's in store, maybe we are better just living in the present day after all．

【1】The novel The Time Machine mentioned in Paragraph 2 aims to show___________．

A．People's interest in time travel

B．the special feature of the book

C．the long history of time travel

D．the contribution of H．G．Wells

【2】Einstein's and Hawking's theories_________．

A．have similarities in many ways

B．push the invention of the first spaceship

C．have proved wrong by some time travelers

D．suggest the possibility to invent the time machine

【3】In Paragraph 4,“grandfather paradox”probably refers to the idea that__________．

A．the traveler is prevented from meeting his grandfather

B．the traveler goes back in time to seek for his grandfather

C．the grandfather's death makes the traveler's birth impossible

D．The reunion of the traveler and his grandfather brings happiness

【4】According to the passage, what is probably the author's attitude towards time travel？

A．Unclear． B．Skeptical．

C．Supportive．D．Unconcerned．

【答案】

【1】A

【2】D

【3】C

【4】B

试题分析: 本文提到对于时光穿梭的理论的解释及他的可行性

【1】A 考查细节理解题。第二段提到The possibility of time travel is indeed appealing时光穿梭的可能是的确是很吸引人，故选A项。

【2】D 考查细节理解题。根据第三段提到Einstein's theory of relativity allows time travel in extreme circumstances．And British physicist Stephen Hawking says you could travel into the future with a really fast spaceship—going at nearly the speed of light．可知爱迪生的相对论允许在时光穿梭在特定的环境下，英国物理学家斯蒂芬·霍金说你可以用快速的宇宙飞船到未来旅行，可知两个人的理论有共同之处，故选D项。

【3】C 考查推理判断题。根据第四段提到It asks what would happen if a time traveler were to go back in time and have his own grandfather killed for some reason, and therefore prevent himself from being born如果时光穿梭者按时回来，他的祖父因为某种原因而被杀死，会发生什么样子，因此阻止自己重生，故选C项。

【4】B 考查推理判断题。根据最后一段提到If that's what's in store, maybe we are better just living in the present day after all如果这样的事情发生，我们还是最后活在现在比较好，所以对时光穿梭是怀疑的态度，故选B项。

The old saying “The early bird catches the worm” show us the importance of planning, working hard and trying constant. To achieve outstanding results, the most people must plan ahead and work hard to overcome all kind of difficulties.

That has been my own experience, either. When I first started at high school, I seldom passed my exams, so I never prepared well. Later, my teacher, Mr Black, advised me plan everything in advance. She asked me to study hard as well. After a year of putting his advice to practice, I can now easily pass all my exams.

There are no direct roads to succeed.

【题目】Written in the first chapter of the book Pride and Prejudice is an extraordinary sentence of which even a person who has had only a brief look upon the book will not fail to receive a deep impression — It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife. In terms of Sherlock Holmes, we’d better alter the sentence into “It is a fact universally accepted by readers throughout the world that an excellent book in possession of our famous detective Sherlock Holmes is undoubtedly a masterpiece of all times.” Perhaps this is one of the most obvious explanations for the unrivaled popularity of “Holmes series” in the field of detective stories. Overwhelmed by the recommendations provided by my friends, I decided to take a look on this Sherlock Holmes and the Duke’s Son originally published by Oxford University Press.

As a whole, this book is about a case concerning the Duke’s missing son. Arthur, the Duke’s son, was found out in a certain morning to have disappeared, accompanied with which was also the disappearance of the German teacher. The school master Dr. Huxtable then turned to the famous detective of the time Sherlock Holmes for help. Realizing how tough and important the case is, Holmes immediately made up his mind to accept the case and followed Dr. Huxtable back to Mackleton by train. Having formed a rough idea about the whole matter, Holmes probed into the case immediately and had a careful investigation of the entire area shortly after the arrival, during the process of which he discovered the body of the German teacher Heidegger. Finally, primarily due to his prominent ability as a detective, he managed to unravel the mystery.

Having once started reading this fiction, I was completely immersed in the mysterious story. At the beginning, unlike other detective stories, this story first delineates the client’s strange behavior at length to indicate the severity of the incident in order to attract the readers to continue reading it. As is known to all, vivid depiction is essential to detective stories as it makes the story more authentic and attractive. Therefore, trying to present a “real world” to his readership, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, author of the original “Holmes series”, has skillfully arranged the plots of the whole story from the perspective of Dr. Watson, a friend of Homes’. In this way, he elaborately (精心)depicted every scene and character in the book. Apart from the special start, the ending of the whole story, being dramatic but reasonable, is certainly an outstanding one. After all, except the author himself, who knows that the Duke’s seemingly ordinary secretary is in fact the Duke’s bastard(私生子)? In addition, who knows that the Duke actually has already been acquainted with the whole thing before Holmes solves this complicated problem? Yet, surprising as it is, this ending seems so natural that it fits all the plots of the story perfectly well. Closing my eyes, I can even “see” the story happening just like watching a film.

As far as I am concerned, nothing is more admirable and surprising in the hero Sherlock Homes than his profound knowledge which has certainly assisted him a lot when he was studying the case. Take the bicycle tyres for instance, Holmes is capable of recognizing 42 different varieties of bicycle tyres. Except for his illimitable knowledge, Holmes also specializes in arranging the facts in order and then finding the fact leading him to a great discovery or even the truth itself. In this case, after getting rid of unrelated facts, Sherlock Homes eventually grasped the clue and discovered the amazing fact.

Needless to say, as a world-renowned masterpiece, Sherlock Holmes and the Duke’s Son has attracted and is still charming numerous readers from all corners of the world and people from all walks of life. The “Holmes series” has already set up a standard against which all the following detective fictions are measured. Sherlock Holmes, beyond all doubt, has been a name firmly rooted in people’s memories. Although Dr. Watson’s closing The Case Book of Sherlock Holmes in 1927 was a great pity to the readers, the discontinuance of the entire “Holmes series” may have actually added to the legendary stature of Sherlock Holmes.

【1】Why does the author mention the book Pride and Prejudice?

A. To show his/her impression on it.

B. To change a sentence in it to evaluate the Holmes series.

C. To quote a sentence to directly illustrate its impressiveness.

Dear dad,

You’re such busy every day that you don’t pay much attention to your health. I really worry about my health all the time. I’d like to give you some suggestion. As far as I’m concerned, walking is good sport. Your company was not far from our home. Why not walk to the office? You had better take exercise in least once a week, like playing tennis in the gym. Go to swim is also a nice choice. Besides, it’s necessary to have health food.

Try not to staying up too late. Having enough sleep can make your brain to work better.

Best wishes to you!

Your loving son,

Tom

I’ve been dancing since I am five. My parents, that were very strict with me, put me in many famous dance studio. I must go to dance almost every day, and only rested in Sundays. My parents wanted me learn every kind of dance so that when he owned my dance studio, I could teach other students. I loved dancing or sometimes they pushed me so hard that I hated it. Anyhow, I thanked them for pushing me and make me an excellent dancer. When I was 20 I opened my own dance studio with their help. Now I’m glad to be able to teach different people what to dance.
