答案:1.B;2.A;3.C;4.D;5.C;6.B;7.A;8.B;9.C;10.A;11.B;12.D;13.D;14.B;15.B;16.B;17.B;18.C;19.C;20.D;
解析:

(1)

只有title(標(biāo)題,題目)能與publish連用,title此處代替的是“帶有標(biāo)題的科幻小說(shuō)”。styles“風(fēng)格”;subjects“主題”;topics“話題”。

(2)

furthermore“況且”;otherwise“要不然的話”;anyway“不管怎么樣”;clearly“顯而易見(jiàn)”。前后部分的邏輯關(guān)系是遞進(jìn)關(guān)系。

(3)

be based on“建立在……基礎(chǔ)上!

(4)

a development in literature意為“文學(xué)中的一個(gè)發(fā)展”。progress是不可數(shù)名詞,“進(jìn)步”;product指“作品”。

(5)

這句話的意思是“經(jīng)常認(rèn)為科幻小說(shuō)是文學(xué)的一個(gè)新的發(fā)展,但是它的祖先可在幾百年前的書(shū)上找到”。

(6)

care for“關(guān)心,”意思是指“這些小說(shuō)關(guān)心某一個(gè)理想社會(huì)的出現(xiàn)”。

(7)

理想社會(huì),只有A項(xiàng)正確。

(8)

理想社會(huì)這個(gè)主題在現(xiàn)代小說(shuō)中也仍然經(jīng)常找到。

(9)

另起話題,用however。

(10)

只有years符合句意。

(11)

to mention just two well-known authors是插入語(yǔ),意為“提一下兩位著名的作家”。

(12)

當(dāng)代科幻小說(shuō)的作家不再寫(xiě)火星人或探險(xiǎn)故事。

(13)

from指來(lái)源,來(lái)自火星的人。

(14)

他們對(duì)預(yù)測(cè)社會(huì)科技進(jìn)步的后果和人類心理狀態(tài)更感興趣。

(15)

on“關(guān)于”。

(16)

想象的未來(lái)世界。

(17)

which引導(dǎo)定語(yǔ)從句,作live in的賓語(yǔ)。

(18)

正因?yàn)槿绱,他們的作品有個(gè)明顯的政治寓意。

(19)

catch up with“趕上……”。

(20)

由于科學(xué)事實(shí)經(jīng)常趕超了科幻小說(shuō)的預(yù)測(cè)。所以作家們很難領(lǐng)先于科學(xué)的進(jìn)步。
