第2题：
Among the most popular books being written today are those which are usually classified as science fiction. Hundreds of titles are published every year and are read by all kinds of people.
Furthermore, some of the most successful films in recent years have been based on science fiction stories.
It is often thought that science fiction is a fairly new development in literature, but it can be found in books written hundreds of years ago. These books were often concerned with the presentation of some form of ideal society, a theme which is still often found in modern stories.
Most of the classics of science fiction, however, have been written within the last hundred years. Books by writers such as Jules Verne and H.G. Wells, to mention just two well-known
authors, have been translated into many languages. Modern science fiction writers don't write about men from Mars or space adventure stories. They are more interested in predicting the results of technical developments on society and the human mind; or in imagining future world which are a reflection of the world which we live in now. Because of this their writing has obviously political undertones.
In an age where science fact frequently overtakes science fiction, the writers may find it difficult to keep ahead of scientific advances. Those who are sufficiently clear-sighted to see the way we are going, however, may provide a valuable lesson on how to deal with the problems which society will inevitably face as it tries to master its new technology.

B.The Popularity of Science Fiction
C.The Origin of Science Fiction
D.The Themes of Science Fiction答案：A解析：选项A最具有概括性，能概括全文所讲的内容。 -

Bbelieves in both Animism and Zoroastrianism

态度题。从第七段最后一句提到的“But as to Freud’s claims upon truth, the judgment of time seems to be running against him.”，可知对于弗洛伊德自称的真理，时间的证明似乎对其不利。因此选项D描述的“作者认为真理并不非掌握在弗洛伊德手中”为正确答案。 -

C.the science fiction in the past is more popular than modern science fiction
D.modern science fiction usually has obviously political undertones答案：D解析：根据文章第三段最后一句，“Because of this their writing has obviously political under—tones”可知，科幻小说家的创作会有很鲜明的政治底色，故D正确。文中第二段第一句说科幻小说经常被认为是一个很新的文学形式，但是在数百年前就可以找到科幻小说，所以A项不对；根据文章第二段第一句，文中说的是“hundreds of years ago(成百上千年前)”，不是“less than a hundred years”，所以B项不对；对于C项，文章第一段说现在科幻小说很流行，并没有比较科幻小说在现在还是在过去更出名。故选D。 -
