Answer 1

分析 本文主要講述了被認(rèn)為是美國(guó)的"三大"西方科學(xué)小說(shuō)的作者羅伯特海因萊的故事，他早期作品強(qiáng)調(diào)冒險(xiǎn)針對(duì)年輕讀者，后來(lái)的作品專(zhuān)為成人而寫(xiě)，他多次提出社會(huì)主題的重要性，每個(gè)人的自信和職責(zé)都?xì)w功于社會(huì)．作者寫(xiě)這篇文章是為了告訴我們社會(huì)對(duì)我們自信與職責(zé)的重要性．

解答 41．A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題，由第一段and served   as all officer in the Navy．This experience had a strong influence on his character and writing．可知他的海軍生活影響了他的寫(xiě)作，故選A．
42．D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題，由第三段 Heinleiu's early works emphasized adventure，and were aimed at young readers．可知他的早期作品在年輕讀者中很受歡迎，故選D．
43．C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題，由第四段One of his best-known works is the novel Stranger in a Strange Land，published inl961．A few years later it was adopted by the"Peace and Love"generation．可知這個(gè)作品是Stranger in a Strange Land，故選C．
44．A 理解推斷題，由最后一段In his fiction，Heinlein coined words that have become part of the English language，including"grok"and"waldo"．可以推測(cè)出他創(chuàng)造的單詞已經(jīng)成為英語(yǔ)的一部分，所以劃線(xiàn)詞應(yīng)為創(chuàng)造，故選A．
45．B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題，由最后一段Heinlein repeatedly addressed such   social themes as the importance of self-confidence and the duties each person owes to the   society．可知海萊茵強(qiáng)調(diào)與道德修養(yǎng)有關(guān)的話(huà)題，故選B．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 考點(diǎn)：本文考察學(xué)生的記敘類(lèi)閱讀水平，需要學(xué)生先把握文體特征，抓住題干關(guān)鍵詞，采用尋讀的方法查找細(xì)節(jié)，要求能理解原文中某個(gè)短語(yǔ)或句子的含義，從而找到與答案意思相同的詞語(yǔ)和句子．
