　　Jerry is a world-famous mountain climber.He has climbed many high mountains in the world.Starting in 2015， he and his friends spent two years on an adventure in South America， covering 7，800 miles.He was even named Adventure of the Year by a famous geography magazine in 2018.
　　Although Jerry had achieved great success， he didn’t feel fulfilled.He asked himself， “Is it enough to climb the highest mountains？ Am I doing something helpful？ How can I turn my adventures into something that can help the world？”
　　Jerry learned that scientists need plants， rocks and water samples （樣本） from the places far away to do research.But scientists can’t get there themselves as such places are hard to reach — only the bravest adventurers can make it.Jerry thought himself could do something to help.He then came up with an idea.He set up a team of top adventures to collect samples for scientists.By studying the samples， scientists could know more about the Earth and find ways to protect it.
　　Recently Jerry and his adventurer friends have discovered a special plant life of Mountain Qomolangma.The samples they brought back have helped scientists how plants live in extreme （極端的） conditions.
　　For Jerry， this kind of adventure is most satisfying.“Such adventures had made us see life in a different way.Now， being the best climber isn’t important for me， what matters is doing something helpful while climbing the mountains.There is still much more we can do.” Jerry said to a newspaper.

　　On 7 May 2022， a mountain climber from Nepal set a new world record for climbing Mount Everest the most times.Kami Rita， who’s 52， has now climbed Mount Everest 26 times.
　　Mount Everest is the world’s highest mountain.The mountain is so high that the air is thin.This makes it hard to breathe and remain active.The ice and snow on the mountain， along with cold temperatures and strong winds， make the climb difficult and dangerous.Over 300 people have died trying to climb Mount Everest.

　　It’s not clear how long Kami Rita will continue to set climbing records.He has said that he could probably continue to climb until he’s sixty.He once said he would retire after climbing Mount Everest 25 times.
　　Kami Rita says he and his family became guides because they didn’t have money for an education.But he doesn’t want his own children to become climbing guides.He is happy that they can go to school and won’t need to be exposed to the risks and dangers of mountain climbing.

　　20 July 2009 was the 40th anniversary of Apollo 11’s historic flight to the moon， where astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first human beings to walk on the moon.40 years ago， space flight inspired such awe （敬畏） that astronauts were honoured as heroes and celebrities.40 years later none of us， besides space fanatics （狂熱者）， would likely to be able to name one astronaut in service today.
　　I got to thinking about the importance of continuing space exploration.I hear many people criticize the importance of NASA and space flight， most saying that it is a waste of time， and more importantly money.I disagree with such assessments.Space exploration is important not only to humanity’s curiosity of the great beyond， but it is also important for the future of the earth and all of us living on it.
　　The Apollo missions inspired a whole generation of kids who wanted to grow up to be astronauts， rocket scientists， and engineers.We all know that science education has been slightly lacking in the United States as of late.Don’t you think that NASA’s return to the moon， or more importantly the much anticipated manned mission to Mars will again inspire a whole new generation to reach for the stars so to speak？ I do.
　　You would think that the guys who burn a million pounds of rocket fuel wouldn’t be the most environmentally minded people in the world.However， most people don’t know that NASA does a lot of good environmental research while they are up there looking down at all of us.NASA has done a lot of work in studying air quality， climate change alternative energy， and near earth objects， which as we all know from the movies can destroy the earth any day now without warning， unless we have a group of oil drillers， a nuke， and Bruce Willis.
　　We cannot ignore the importance of space exploration， nor be complacent （自滿的） in its meaning to all of us.I hope space exploration can continue to inspire， educate， and provide for us in the next 40 years as it has the last 40 years.
9.What can we learn from the text？（　　）
A.Armstrong was the first man to fly in space in the world.
B.Science education for American students is highly developed.
C.The author considers space flight as a waste of money and time.
D.People today won’t admire astronauts as much as they did 40 years ago.
10.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to？（　　）
A.Space exploration.　 B.NASA. C.Money.　 D.Humanity.
11.How does NASA make a difference to the environment？（　　）
A.By burning less rocket fuel.
B.By finding greener energy.
C.By changing climate.
D.By making space movies.
12.What’s the best title for the text？（　　）
A.How to Be an Astronaut
B.Where to Study Flight
C.Why to Explore Space
D.How to Do Space Research
Ⅱ.閱讀七選五
　　Just like every book， science fiction offers its readers a lot.13.（　　） Whatever your favourite genre （體裁） is， there’s no question that there are plenty of reasons to read sci-fi novels.Here are some of them.
　　Warnings.
　　Sci-fi novels often show a world that depicts （描繪） our possible future.If we keep mistreating the environment， for example， we’ll live in a world with little or no natural resources.14.（　　） Most sci-fi novels have a strong message about the way we’re living.
　　Stretch imagination.
　　Sci-fi novels differ from other genres， because they contain new types of people， places， and inventions to keep things fresh.15.（　　） Having a vivid imagination can have more benefits than you realize.So why not pick up a book and start reading？
　　What if.
　　It’s natural for humans to wonder what would happen if we had run society a different way in the past.These novels explore those ideas.16.（　　） People say that they want an alien invasion， but that’s not the truth.They just love reading about it and considering how the world would react if it did actually occur.
　　For fun.
　　17.（　　） When you have free time， you don’t want to waste it.If you like reading sci-fi novels because they give you enjoyment， then you need no other reason to do so.Do whatever makes you happiest！
　　If you’ve never read sci-fi novels before， you should give them a chance.
A.This can help you to expand your imagination.
B.There are plenty of sci-fi stories that aren’t just set in space.
C.The main reason you should read anything is that you enjoy it.
D.If we keep relying on technology， robots will take control over the world.
E.It is not only entertaining， but it can also teach you something about the world.
F.Some people admit they thought some sci-fi movies were based on actual events.
G.They give us a brief idea of what life might have been like if we had acted in a certain way.

CLIMBING QOMOLANGMA： WORTH THE RISKS？
　　Last year， hundreds of people spent good money on①an experience [1]that they knew would include crowds②， discomfort③and danger.Many [2]would become sick， due to④the extreme cold and low air pressure， and a few would even lose their lives⑤.Yet， despite⑥ all this， by the end of⑦ the trip many were already planning to return.For these people，[3]climbing Qomolangma is an experience like no other， [4]making some feel weak and [5]others， powerful.
　　[1]that引導定語從句，在從句中作主語。
　　[2]would do ...表示過去將來時；become sick意為“生病”， become是系動詞，形容詞sick作表語。
　　[3]climbing Qomolangma是動詞-ing短語作主語。
　　[4]making some feel weak ...是動詞-ing短語作定語修飾前面的experience； make sb do sth意為“讓某人做某事”。
　　[5]others， powerful是省略成分，原句應該為making others powerful。
　　British mountain climber George Mallory wrote of⑧ climbing Qomolangma，“[6]What we get from this adventure is just sheer⑨ joy ... We do not live [7]to eat and make money.We eat and make money⑩ to be able to enjoy life.That is [8]what life means and what life is for.” Sadly， Mallory would die on the mountain in 1924， [9]although his body would not be found until many years later.[10]It is still not known if he succeeded in reaching the top of Qomolangma before it took his life .
　　[6]What引導主語從句，并在從句中作get的賓語。
　　[7]to eat and make money是并列狀語，make前面省略了to。
　　[8]what life means and what life is for中兩個what都引導表語從句。
　　[9]although引導讓步狀語從句，通常不和and， but， so連用。
　　[10]該句中It是形式主語，if從句是真正的主語。
　　In 2011，words similar to [11]those of Mallory were spoken by American mountain climber Alan Arnette， [12]who climbed Qomolangma in that year and was going to climb other high mountains around the world .“It brings into focus [13]what’s important to you.” He added， “There are a thousand reasons to turn around and only one to keep going.You really have to focus on the one reason [14]that’s most important and unique to you.It forces you to look deep inside yourself and figure out if you really have the physical， as well as mental， toughness to push when you want to stop.”
　　[11]those是代詞，指代前面提到的words。
　　[12]who引導非限制性定語從句，修飾前面的Alan Arnette，補充說明這個人的情況。
　　[13]what引導賓語從句，并在從句中作主語。
　　[14]that引導定語從句，在從句中作主語，且不可省略。
　　[15]With the majority of attempts to climb Qomolangma resulting either in total success or failure ， is there also a scientific reason behind this risk-taking？Recent studies indicate that risk-taking may be part of human nature， with some of us more likely to take risks than others.Psychologist Frank Farley has spent years studying people who jump out of planes and drive fast cars， as well as those who climb Qomolangma.He refers to the personalities of these people as “Type T”， with the “T” standing for “thrill ”.
　　Speaking to the LA Times about the “Type T” personalities， Farley said， “They’ll say， ‘I’m not taking risks， I’m an expert ...’They don’t want to die and they don’t expect to die.”
　　Research also [16]suggests that our desire to seek risks can be connected to how much we expect to benefit from the result.
　　With this in mind， are the benefits of climbing Qomolangma worth the risks？ It’s totally up to you.
　　[15]with復合結構，即“with＋賓語＋賓語補足語”，賓語是the majority of attempts to climb Qomolangma，賓語補足語是resulting either in total success or failure。
　　[16]suggest此處意思是“表明”， that引導賓語從句。

攀登珠穆朗瑪峰：值得冒險嗎？
　　明知道會是一次擁擠、不舒適而又危險的體驗，去年仍有數百人愿意為此花費大價錢。由于極端嚴寒與低氣壓，很多人會生病，甚至有少數人會丟掉性命。盡管如此，在旅程的結尾，已經有很多人在計劃著重返這里。對于這些人來說，攀登珠穆朗瑪峰是一項獨一無二的體驗，它讓一些人感受到脆弱的同時也讓另一些人感受到強大。
　　英國登山家喬治·馬洛里曾這樣記述攀登珠峰的體驗：“我們從這項冒險活動中獲得的是純粹的快樂……我們活著不是為了吃飯和掙錢。我們吃飯和掙錢是為了能夠享受生活。這才是生活的意義和目標。”可惜的是，1924年馬洛里在登山過程中身亡，而他的遺體多年后才被找到。至今人們也不知道他生前是否成功登頂了珠峰。
　　2011年，美國登山家艾倫·阿內特也說過與馬洛里類似的話。那一年他登上了珠峰，之后又準備去攀登世界各地其他的高山。“登山讓你聚焦于對你而言重要的事，”他補充道，“縱使有一千個理由讓你回頭，但總有一個讓你繼續前行。你必須專注于那一個對你來說最重要也最獨特的理由。它會強迫你去深入地審視自己，去思考自己的身體和心靈是否足夠堅強，能在你想放棄的時候推動你繼續向前。”
　　攀登珠峰的大多數嘗試要么大獲全勝，要么徹底失敗，這一冒險行為的背后是否也有科學解釋呢？近日有研究指出，冒險可能是人類天性中的一部分，而有些人比其他人更愿意去冒險。心理學家弗蘭克·法利曾花費數年時間研究那些高空跳傘、飚車以及攀登珠峰的人。他把這些人的人格特征稱作“T型人格”，“T”代表“刺激”。
　　在對《洛杉磯時報》描述“T型人格”時，法利說道：“他們會說‘我并不是在冒險，我是這方面的專家……’。他們并不想死，也不認為自己會死。”
　　研究還表明，我們對于冒險的渴望與我們期待從中獲得多少好處有關。
　　了解這些之后，你認為攀登珠峰帶來的好處值得人們去冒險嗎？答案完全取決于你自己。

CLIMBING QOMOLANGMA： WORTH THE RISKS？
　　Last year， hundreds of people spent good money on①an experience
[1]that they knew would include crowds②， discomfort③and
danger.Many [2]would become sick， due to④the extreme cold and low
air pressure， and a few would even lose their lives⑤.Yet， despite⑥ all
this， by the end of⑦ the trip many were already planning to return.For
these people，[3]climbing Qomolangma is an experience like no other，
[4]making some feel weak and [5]others， powerful.
　　[1]that引導定語從句，在從句中作主語。
　　[2]would do ...表示過去將來時；become sick意為“生病”，
become是系動詞，形容詞sick作表語。
　　[3]climbing Qomolangma是動詞-ing短語作主語。
　　[4]making some feel weak ...是動詞-ing短語作定語修飾前面的
experience； make sb do sth意為“讓某人做某事”。
　　[5]others， powerful是省略成分，原句應該為making others
powerful。
【讀文清障】
①spend money on在……上花錢
②crowd n.人群
③discomfort n.不舒服；不安
④due to 由于
⑤lose one’s life失去某人的生命
⑥despite prep.盡管，不管
⑦by the end of到……的結尾
　　British mountain climber George Mallory wrote of⑧ climbing
Qomolangma，“[6]What we get from this adventure is just sheer⑨
joy ... We do not live [7]to eat and make money.We eat and make
money⑩ to be able to enjoy life.That is [8]what life means and what life
is for.” Sadly， Mallory would die on the mountain in 1924，
[9]although his body would not be found until many years later.[10]It is
still not known if he succeeded in reaching the top of Qomolangma
before it took his life .
　　[6]What引導主語從句，并在從句中作get的賓語。
　　[7]to eat and make money是并列狀語，make前面省略了
to。
　　[8]what life means and what life is for中兩個what都引導表
語從句。
　　[9]although引導讓步狀語從句，通常不和and， but， so連
用。
　　[10]該句中It是形式主語，if從句是真正的主語。
⑧write of 寫到；文章中提及
⑨sheer adj.純粹的，十足的
⑩make money 賺錢
be able to do sth有能力做某事
succeed in doing sth成功做某事
take one’s life奪走某人的生命
　　In 2011，words similar to [11]those of Mallory were spoken by
American mountain climber Alan Arnette， [12]who climbed
Qomolangma in that year and was going to climb other high mountains
around the world .“It brings into focus [13]what’s important to
you.” He added， “There are a thousand reasons to turn around and
only one to keep going.You really have to focus on the one reason
[14]that’s most important and unique to you.It forces you to look deep
inside yourself and figure out if you really have the physical， as well as
mental， toughness to push when you want to stop.”
　　[11]those是代詞，指代前面提到的words。
　　[12]who引導非限制性定語從句，修飾前面的Alan Arnette，補充
說明這個人的情況。
　　[13]what引導賓語從句，并在從句中作主語。
　　[14]that引導定語從句，在從句中作主語，且不可省略。
（be） similar to與……相似
around the world全世界
bring ... into focus使……成為焦點
turn around 轉身
focus on 集中精力于
figure out 弄明白，搞清楚
as well as 和
　　[15]With the majority of attempts to climb Qomolangma resulting
either in total success or failure ， is there also a scientific reason
behind this risk-taking？Recent studies indicate that risk-taking may be
part of human nature， with some of us more likely to take risks than
others.Psychologist Frank Farley has spent years studying people who
jump out of planes and drive fast cars， as well as those who climb
Qomolangma.He refers to the personalities of these people as “Type
T”， with the “T” standing for “thrill ”.
　　Speaking to the LA Times about the “Type T” personalities，
Farley said， “They’ll say， ‘I’m not taking risks， I’m an
expert ...’They don’t want to die and they don’t expect to die.”
　　Research also [16]suggests that our desire to seek risks can be
connected to how much we expect to benefit from the result.
　　With this in mind， are the benefits of climbing Qomolangma worth
the risks？ It’s totally up to you.
　　[15]with復合結構，即“with＋賓語＋賓語補足語”，賓語是the
majority of attempts to climb Qomolangma，賓語補足語是resulting
either in total success or failure。
　　[16]suggest此處意思是“表明”， that引導賓語從句。
attempt n.努力，嘗試
either ...or ...要么……要么……
failure n.失敗
scientific adj.科學上的，與科學有關的

【參考譯文】
攀登珠穆朗瑪峰：值得冒險嗎？
　　明知道會是一次擁擠、不舒適而又危險的體驗，去年仍有數百人
愿意為此花費大價錢。由于極端嚴寒與低氣壓，很多人會生病，甚至
有少數人會丟掉性命。盡管如此，在旅程的結尾，已經有很多人在計
劃著重返這里。對于這些人來說，攀登珠穆朗瑪峰是一項獨一無二的
體驗，它讓一些人感受到脆弱的同時也讓另一些人感受到強大。
　　英國登山家喬治·馬洛里曾這樣記述攀登珠峰的體驗：“我們從
這項冒險活動中獲得的是純粹的快樂……我們活著不是為了吃飯和掙
錢。我們吃飯和掙錢是為了能夠享受生活。這才是生活的意義和目
標。”可惜的是，1924年馬洛里在登山過程中身亡，而他的遺體多年
后才被找到。至今人們也不知道他生前是否成功登頂了珠峰。
　　2011年，美國登山家艾倫·阿內特也說過與馬洛里類似的話。那一
年他登上了珠峰，之后又準備去攀登世界各地其他的高山。“登山讓
你聚焦于對你而言重要的事，”他補充道，“縱使有一千個理由讓你
回頭，但總有一個讓你繼續前行。你必須專注于那一個對你來說最重
要也最獨特的理由。它會強迫你去深入地審視自己，去思考自己的身
體和心靈是否足夠堅強，能在你想放棄的時候推動你繼續向前。”
　　攀登珠峰的大多數嘗試要么大獲全勝，要么徹底失敗，這一冒險
行為的背后是否也有科學解釋呢？近日有研究指出，冒險可能是人類
天性中的一部分，而有些人比其他人更愿意去冒險。心理學家弗蘭
克·法利曾花費數年時間研究那些高空跳傘、飚車以及攀登珠峰的
人。他把這些人的人格特征稱作“T型人格”，“T”代表“刺激”。
　　在對《洛杉磯時報》描述“T型人格”時，法利說道：“他們會
說‘我并不是在冒險，我是這方面的專家……’。他們并不想死，也
不認為自己會死。”
　　研究還表明，我們對于冒險的渴望與我們期待從中獲得多少好處
有關。
　　了解這些之后，你認為攀登珠峰帶來的好處值得人們去冒險嗎？
答案完全取決于你自己。

　　Jerry is a world-famous mountain climber.He has climbed many high
mountains in the world.Starting in 2015， he and his friends spent two
years on an adventure in South America， covering 7，800 miles.He was
even named Adventure of the Year by a famous geography magazine in
2018.
　　Although Jerry had achieved great success， he didn’t feel
fulfilled.He asked himself， “Is it enough to climb the highest
mountains？ Am I doing something helpful？ How can I turn my
adventures into something that can help the world？”
　　Jerry learned that scientists need plants， rocks and water samples
（樣本） from the places far away to do research.But scientists can’t get
there themselves as such places are hard to reach — only the bravest
adventurers can make it.Jerry thought himself could do something to
help.He then came up with an idea.He set up a team of top adventures to
collect samples for scientists.By studying the samples， scientists could
know more about the Earth and find ways to protect it.
　　Recently Jerry and his adventurer friends have discovered a special
plant life of Mountain Qomolangma.The samples they brought back have
helped scientists how plants live in extreme （極端的） conditions.
　　For Jerry， this kind of adventure is most satisfying.“Such
adventures had made us see life in a different way.Now， being the best
climber isn’t important for me， what matters is doing something helpful
while climbing the mountains.There is still much more we can do.” Jerry
said to a newspaper.

　　On 7 May 2022， a mountain climber from Nepal set a new world
record for climbing Mount Everest the most times.Kami Rita， who’s
52， has now climbed Mount Everest 26 times.
　　Mount Everest is the world’s highest mountain.The mountain is so
high that the air is thin.This makes it hard to breathe and remain
active.The ice and snow on the mountain， along with cold temperatures
and strong winds， make the climb difficult and dangerous.Over 300
people have died trying to climb Mount Everest.
　　Many of the most talented guides， like Kami Rita and Tenzing
Norgay， are from a group of people called Sherpas.The Sherpas live in
the Himalayan mountains.They have the knowledge and the skills needed
to help foreign climbers become successful in their efforts.
　　Kami Rita comes from a mountain climbing family.Kami Rita has
been climbing mountains for over 35 years.He climbed Mount Everest for
the first time in 1994.Since then， he has climbed the mountain almost
every year.
　　In 2019， Kami Rita broke his own record twice in less than a
week.He climbed Mount Everest for the 23rd time on 15 May.Just six
days later， he climbed it for the 24th time.
　　Though Kami Rita is an expert on Mount Everest， he’s also
climbed many other high mountains in the Himalayas.He holds the world
record for climbing the most mountains taller than 8，000 meters.In all，
he’s climbed 38 mountains taller than 8，000 meters.
　　It’s not clear how long Kami Rita will continue to set climbing
records.He has said that he could probably continue to climb until he’s
sixty.He once said he would retire after climbing Mount Everest 25 times.
　　Kami Rita says he and his family became guides because they didn’t
have money for an education.But he doesn’t want his own children to
become climbing guides.He is happy that they can go to school and
won’t need to be exposed to the risks and dangers of mountain climbing.

　　20 July 2009 was the 40th anniversary of Apollo 11’s historic flight
to the moon， where astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became
the first human beings to walk on the moon.40 years ago， space flight
inspired such awe （敬畏） that astronauts were honoured as heroes and
celebrities.40 years later none of us， besides space fanatics （狂熱
者）， would likely to be able to name one astronaut in service today.
　　I got to thinking about the importance of continuing space
exploration.I hear many people criticize the importance of NASA and
space flight， most saying that it is a waste of time， and more
importantly money.I disagree with such assessments.Space exploration is
important not only to humanity’s curiosity of the great beyond， but it is
also important for the future of the earth and all of us living on it.
　　The Apollo missions inspired a whole generation of kids who wanted
to grow up to be astronauts， rocket scientists， and engineers.We all
know that science education has been slightly lacking in the United States
as of late.Don’t you think that NASA’s return to the moon， or more
importantly the much anticipated manned mission to Mars will again
inspire a whole new generation to reach for the stars so to speak？ I do.
　　You would think that the guys who burn a million pounds of rocket
fuel wouldn’t be the most environmentally minded people in the
world.However， most people don’t know that NASA does a lot of good
environmental research while they are up there looking down at all of
us.NASA has done a lot of work in studying air quality， climate change
alternative energy， and near earth objects， which as we all know from
the movies can destroy the earth any day now without warning， unless we
have a group of oil drillers， a nuke， and Bruce Willis.
　　We cannot ignore the importance of space exploration， nor be
complacent （自滿的） in its meaning to all of us.I hope space
exploration can continue to inspire， educate， and provide for us in the
next 40 years as it has the last 40 years.

Ⅱ.閱讀七選五
　　Just like every book， science fiction offers its readers a lot.13.
（　　） Whatever your favourite genre （體裁） is， there’s no
question that there are plenty of reasons to read sci-fi novels.Here are
some of them.
　　Warnings.
　　Sci-fi novels often show a world that depicts （描繪） our possible
future.If we keep mistreating the environment， for example， we’ll
live in a world with little or no natural resources.14.（　　） Most sci-fi
novels have a strong message about the way we’re living.
　　Stretch imagination.
　　Sci-fi novels differ from other genres， because they contain new
types of people， places， and inventions to keep things fresh.15.
（　　） Having a vivid imagination can have more benefits than you
realize.So why not pick up a book and start reading？
　　What if.
　　It’s natural for humans to wonder what would happen if we had run
society a different way in the past.These novels explore those ideas.16.
（　　） People say that they want an alien invasion， but that’s not the
truth.They just love reading about it and considering how the world would
react if it did actually occur.
　　For fun.
　　17. （　　） When you have free time， you don’t want to waste
it.If you like reading sci-fi novels because they give you enjoyment， then
you need no other reason to do so.Do whatever makes you happiest！
　　If you’ve never read sci-fi novels before， you should give them a
chance.
A. This can help you to expand your imagination.
B. There are plenty of sci-fi stories that aren’t just set in space.
C. The main reason you should read anything is that you enjoy it.
D. If we keep relying on technology， robots will take control over the
world.
E. It is not only entertaining， but it can also teach you something about
the world.
F. Some people admit they thought some sci-fi movies were based on
actual events.
G. They give us a brief idea of what life might have been like if we had
acted in a certain way.
語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹了科幻小說值得一讀的幾
個原因。
13. E　根據空前一句可知，和其他書一樣，科幻小說的讀者也受益
良多。E項（它不僅有趣，還能教你去認識世界）對此做出進一步說
明，符合語境。E項中的It指代空前的science fiction。
14. D　根據本段小標題Warnings.可知，本段介紹了科幻小說的
警示作用，D項（如果我們繼續依賴科技，那么機器人就會掌控這
個世界）與小標題相呼應，符合語境，且D項與設空處前一句構成
并列關系。
語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹了科幻小說值得一讀的幾
個原因。
15. A　空前一句指出：科幻小說包含新的人物、地點和發明，給讀
者帶來新鮮感；空后一句指出：擁有生動的想象力的好處比你意識到
的要多，故A項（這有助于豐富你的想象力）符合語境。A項中的
imagination與小標題和空后一句中的imagination是原詞復現。
16. G　根據空前兩句可知，人類總會好奇，如果我們的社會以前是
以不同的方式運轉的，那會發生什么事情呢？這就是科幻小說的內
容。G項承接上文，進一步做出說明，符合語境。G項中的They指代
空前一句中的These novels。
17. C　根據本段小標題For fun.可知，本段內容圍繞樂趣展開，C項
（你應該閱讀的主要理由是你很欣賞它）符合語境。C項中的enjoy it
與本段中的enjoyment和happiest相呼應。
謝謝觀看！
