Never think about your age, it’s not too late to make your life more interesting. I know a house wife who became a famous industrial designer; I know a retired electrical engineer who has become a highly paid artist.

B

I believe in the power of science fiction, not just for its capacity to transform dreams into reality, but also for its power to bond together those who share a common vision of the future. For me, that’s true for my relationship with my dad. Some fathers and sons bond over sports, fishing or hunting, but my dad and I bond over Star Trek. We tried a trip to Disney World, but one of my earliest memories wasn’t Mickey, but a Klingon battle cruiser(巡洋舰)on the screen.

Over the years, nearly every setting and situation has become far away for my dad and me. When it’s warm at night, we’re not driving along some dark streets in Indiana, but going at a slow speed with stars dimly shining. Both of us are thinking of them, without needing to say a word. All these visions of other universes have together created a private universe for my dad and me.

Gene Rodenberry, creator of Star Trek, once said, “Science fiction is a way of thinking, a way of logic that bypasses( 绕 过 )a lot of nonsense. It allows people to look directly at important subjects.” A lifetime of science fiction has influenced more than just my relationship with my dad, but has also helped me shape my own hopes for the future. I’m now a science writer.

Yes, science fiction has made me into a “nerd” (书呆子), and it also has been a source of joy for my family, making me an optimist while enabling me to think critically about the danger of technology. Thank those authors who have shared their visions; the world and my family are better for it. Thank my dad, who is both the best storyteller and the best man I have ever known because he helped me realize the truth of Tennyson’s words, “Since I dipped into the future, I saw the vision of the world, and all the wonders that would be.” 24. What is the special bond between the author and his father? A. Their similar dreams. B. Their love for each other. C. Their common interest.

D. Their hatred for science.

25. What does the author mainly show in paragraph 2? A. His deep impression on his dad. B. His feeling of staying with his dad. C. His earliest memory of his dad. D. His good relationship with his dad.

26. How does science fiction help the author at present? A. It leads him to pursue a desirable career. B. It brings him the courage to live better. C. It helps him solve the danger of technology. D. It makes him become a source of his family’s joy. 27. What may be the best title for the text? A. The Wonders of Science B. The Power of Science Fiction C. The Versions of Science Fiction D. The Time together with My Father

【答案】24. C 25. D 26. A 27. B 【解析】

这是一篇记叙文。作者和父亲都热爱科幻小说，它不仅帮助作者和父亲建立了深厚的感情，而且帮助作者实现了梦想。 【24题详解】

细节理解题。根据第一段中Some fathers and sons bond over sports, fishing or hunting, but my dad and I bond over Star Trek.可知有些父亲和儿子喜欢运动、钓鱼或打猎，但我父亲和我喜欢《星际迷航》。由此可知，作者和他父亲之间的特殊关系是他们的共同兴趣。故选C。 25题详解】

推理判断题。根据第二段中When it’s warm at night, we’re not driving along some dark streets in Indiana, but going at a slow speed with stars dimly shining. Both of us are thinking of them, without needing to say a word. All these visions of other universes have together created a private universe for my dad and me.可知晚上天气暖和的时候，我们不是在印第安纳州一些黑暗的街道上开车，而是在星光暗淡的情况下，以缓慢的速度行驶。我们两个人都在想着他们，不用说一句话。所有这些其他宇宙的景象一起为我和爸爸创造了一个私人的宇宙。由此
