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.
The underlined word "overtakes" in the last paragraph means______.
选项
A、takes the place of
B、is more meaningful than
C、develops more quickly than
D、develops more slowly than
答案
C
解析
词义题。定位于文中最后一段第一句话“In an age where science fact frequently overtakes science fiction,the writers may find it difficult to keep ahead of scientific advances.”,科幻小说家很难保持在科学进步的前端,应该是由于这个时代科学发展太快了,导致科学事实超过了科学幻想。故选C。
