Words：313 难度系数：★★★建议用时：8分钟
(2010·高考重庆卷)Humans are naturally drawn to other life forms and the worlds outside of our own.We take delight in the existence of creatures and even whole societies beyond our everyday lives.
This n of wonder is universal.Look at the efforts that scientists have made to find out whether life of some kind exists on Mars，and the popularity of fantasy(幻想) literature or movies like The Lord of the Rings.This n of wonder draws us to each other，to the world around us，and to the world of makebelieve.But have we gone so far in creating worlds of fantasy that we are missing the pleasure of other worlds that already exist all around us?
Human beings，as biologists have suggested，posss an inborn desire to connect with and understand other life forms.However，people，especially in big cities，often lead rather isolated lives.In a study of British schoolchildren，it was found that children by age eight were much more familiar with characters from television shows and video games than with common wildlife.Without_mo我坚信
dern_technology，a_small_pond_could_be_an_amazing_world_filled_with_strange_and_beautiful_plants，incts，birds，and_animals.When we lack meaningful interaction (交互) with the world around us，and sometimes even with our families and friends，we ek to understand and communicate with things that exist only in our imaginations or on a computer screen.
The world of makebelieve is not necessarily bad.But when the world of fantasy becomes the on ly outlet (出路)for our n of wonder，then we are really missing something.We are missing a connection with the living world.Other wonderful worlds exist all around us.But even more interesting is that if we look cloly enough，we can e that the worlds，in a broad n，are really part of our own.

【解题导语】本文是一篇科技说明文。本文主要讲述了奇迹和幻想的不同。幻想是人的天性，而奇迹的意义比较广泛。由于好奇，我们往往对我们日常生活以外的事物非常感兴趣，就像科学家们为了找到火星上是否存在生命一样。好奇使我们对周围的世界产生幻想，其结果就是人们相互缺少交流和沟通，试图理项目整合管理
解并和仅存在于想象中的事物进行沟通，严重偏离了客观事实，从而告知我们绝对不能沉浸于虚幻的世界。5．The popularity of The Lord of the Rings proves________.
A．the clo connection between man and the fantasy world
B．the wonderful achievements of fantasy literature
C．the fine taste of moviegoers around the world
D．the general existence of the n of curiosity
解析：选D。推理判断题。文章第二段主要讲述了好奇心的普遍性。作者引用电影《指环王》目的就是为了证明好奇就是普遍存在的。信息词the popularity of fantasy(幻想)literature or movies like The Lord of the Rings(幻想文学的流行或像电影《指环王》的流行)就表明了好奇的普遍存在。故只能选D。A(人类和幻想世界之间的紧密联系)、B(幻想文学的巨大成就)和C(全球电影爱好者的品味)都没有提到流行性，都不符合题意。
6．What can we infer from the underlined ntence in Paragraph 3?
A．People are far less familiar with the world of fantasy.
B．The world around us could rve as a source of wonder.
C．The world of fantasy can be mirrored by a small and lively pond.
D．Modern technology prevents us from developing our n of wonder.
解析：选B。推理判断题。句意：没有现代技术，一个小小的池塘可以是一个充满奇特、美丽动植物和飞禽走兽的奇妙世界。由句意可知，这里指我们周围的世界就可当作一种好奇资源，就地取材。根据第三段．..it was found that children by age eight were much more familiar with characters from (我们发现8岁的小孩都对电视剧里的人非常熟悉)可排除A；C(小小的池塘可以当作一面镜子)不合句意；D(现代技术阻止我们理解好奇的意义)偏离了主题。
7．If our n of wonder relies totally on the world of makebelieve，we will________. A．fail to appreciate the joy in our lives
入党誓词宣誓
B．be confud by the world of makebelieve
C．miss the chance to recognize the fantasy world
D．be trapped by other worlds existing all around us
解析：选A。推理判断题。最后一段告诉我们，假设的世界不一定很糟，但是当幻想世界变成我们理解好奇的唯一出路时，那么我们就真正地错过了一些美好的事物。我们就渐渐地和我们生存的世界失去联系。从而判断如果我们好奇的意义仅限于假设的世界，我们将无法感受到真正生活的乐趣。故选
芥菜饭A。信息词missing something可推测，这里只是失去生活的真正意义，而非B(被幻想世界所迷惑)、C(失去识别幻想
世界的机会)和D(被存在于我们周围的其他世界所困)。
8．What is the main purpo of the passage?
A．To show us the hidden beauty in our world.
B．To warn us not to get lost in the fantasy world.
C．To argue against the misu of the n of wonder.
D．To discuss the influence of the world of makebelieve.
解析：选B。主旨大意题。由文章最后一段，特别是第二句But when the world of fantasy becomes the only outlet(出路)for our n of wonder，then we are really missing something(但是当幻想世界变成我们理解好奇的唯一出路时，那么我们就真正的错过了一些美好的事物)和最后一句But even more interesting is that if we look cloly enough，we can e that the worlds，in a broad n，are really part of our own(最有趣的是如果我们仔细看看，广义来讲，这世界真正是我们的世
界)推测出，告知我们千万不能沉浸于虚拟的幻想世界。故选B。而A(展示我们周围隐藏的美妙之物)、C(辩论好奇意义的滥用)和D(讨论幻想世界的影响)都是很片面的。

Amy Tan, the American-born daughter of Chine immigrants, received the Commonwealth Club Gold Award in 1989 for her first work of novel, the best-lling Joy Luck Club. The sixteen interrelated stories that make up the work switch between the tales of four Chine immigrant mothers and their Americanized daughters, in an exploration of the generational and cultural tensions experienced by many first-generation daughters of immigrants.
Tan's parents, like many immigrants, had high expectations for their children and often t confusing standards, expecting Amy and her two brothers to think like Chine but to speak perfect English, excellent at school, and take advantage of every chance that might lead to success. Tan, however, rebelled against her parents' expectations, which included such respected professions as neurosurgery, and devoted herlf to being thoroughly American and dreaming of being a novelist.
Tan got a bachelor's degree in English and linguistics and a master's degree in linguistics and finally established herlf as a highly successful business writer. Tan, however, was not satisfied in spite of her material success. Turning to her life-long dream, she wrote her first short story, "Endgame," and then a cond, "Waiting between the Trees." In 1987 Tan visited her
