Question

【題目】閱讀理解
"Listen carefully to what I say," the time traveler said, "I shall tell you something that you will not agree."
"Why will we not agree?" I asked.
"Because the science and mathematics you know are not correct," he said. "You believe there are only three dimensions(三維空間)-length, breadth(寬) and thickness."
"There is nothing to argue with that, " the youngest member of our little group said.
"Exactly!" the time traveler answered, "But there is also a fourth dimension - time."
"We all know about time, " another member of the group said. "Time passed."
"I do not agree," the time traveler said, "Length, breadth and thickness do not pass. They stay in the same place in space. We move about them. I can prove that time is the same. It does not pass. We move in time the same way that we move in breadth, length and thickness."
None of us believed the time traveler, and we argued with him for many hours.
"If we could travel back in time," the scientist said, "We could do things to change the future."
"If we could travel forward in time," the doctor(博士) said, "we could do things that change our present."
The time traveler smiled, "It is clear," he said, "that there is only one way I can show you that I am right. We must do an experiment. Please wait here."
He left the room and soon returned, carrying what looked like a clock.
"This is a model of a time machine. It took me two years to make it," the time traveler said. "I want all of you to understand that when I start the machine, it will immediately travel in time and disappear from the present."
He turned to the youngest of all. "Give me your hand," he said.
The young man put out his hand. The time traveler took it and placed it on the machine. Immediately, there was a sudden wind, and the little machine disappeared.
I was certain this was not a trick, but the doctor was not so sure.
"Are you asking us to believe," he said, "that the machine is now in a different time?"
"Certainly! In my laboratory, a full-size machine is almost complete. As soon as it is complete, I shall send myself on a journey through time. Would you like to see my machine?"
"Are you serious about this?" the doctor asked.
"I have never been more serious about anything," the time traveler said, "Come."
We followed him to his laboratory. There, we saw the actual machine, not quite complete, but large enough for a man to sit in.
（1）How many dimensions did the time traveler say there are?
A.Two.
B.Three.
C.Four.
D.Five.
（2）How long did it take the time traveler to make his model time machine?
A.Two years.
B.Two months.
C.Twenty years.
D.All his life.
（3）Which is the right order of what happened in the story?
a. The model time machine disappeared with a wind.
b. The time traveler came back to the room with a model time machine.
c. The members of the group argued with the time traveler for many hours.
d. The time traveler showed them a full-size time machine which was not quite complete.
e. The youngest man's hand was placed on the model time machine.
A.e c a d b
B.b c e a d
C.c e b a d
D.c b e a d
（4）What can we infer(判斷) from the passage about the time traveler?
A.He believed that they could move in time.
B.He was playing a trick on a group of people.
C.He sent the young man to the future in the model time machine.
D.He would possibly send himself on a journey through time.
（5）What kind of story do you think the passage is?

B.A science fiction.
C.A romantic fiction.
D.A horror story.

（4）D
（5）B
【解析】這篇短文是一個科幻小說的節(jié)選，給我們介紹了一個時間旅行者和一群人在爭論，人們都認(rèn)為我們的世界是三維空間，即長、寬、高，但是時間旅行者認(rèn)為應(yīng)該是思維空間，還有一個是時間。他還用他制作的時間機器做實驗來證明。
（1）C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文中"Because the science and mathematics you know are not correct," he said. "You believe there are only three dimensions(三維空間)-length, breadth(寬) and thickness."和"But there is also a fourth dimension - time."可知，時間旅行者認(rèn)為除了我們知道的三維空間-長、寬、高之外，還有第四個空間，那就是時間。故應(yīng)選C。
（2）A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文中"This is a model of a time machine. It took me two years to make it," the time traveler said.可知，時間旅行者拿出了一個時間機器，他說這是他花費兩年的時間制作而成的。由此可知選A。
（3）D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)題干中給出的五個選項，我們可以知道答案在原文第8段開始往后敘述，we argued with him for many hours.時間旅行者和一群人爭論了好幾個小時，然后He left the room and soon returned, carrying what looked like a clock，是時間旅行者拿出了一個時間機器，接著He turned to the youngest of all. "Give me your hand," he said，他讓一個年齡最小的人把手放在時間機器上，時間機器就消失了，最后In my laboratory, a full-size machine is almost complete，他帶著這些人去看正常尺寸是的時間機器。由此可知正確答案是D。
（4）D推理判斷題。根據(jù)短文中I can prove that time is the same. It does not pass. We move in time the same way that we move in breadth, length and thickness."可知，時間旅行者認(rèn)為時間就像其他的三維空間一樣是可以移動的，他還用時間機器做了一個實驗，讓人們相信他的看法。由此我們可以推斷，時間旅行者就是通過時間來旅行的。故應(yīng)選D。
（5）B主旨大意題。這篇短文給我們介紹了一個時間旅行者和一群人在爭論，人們都認(rèn)為我們的世界是三維空間，即長、寬、高，但是時間旅行者認(rèn)為應(yīng)該是思維空間，還有一個是時間。他還用他制作的時間機器做實驗來證明。從大意來看，這篇短文是一個不真實的科幻小說，故應(yīng)選B。
