Many people seem to think that science fiction is typified by the Bug-eyed Monster, embodying every feature that most people find repulsive. This is unfortunate because it degrades a worthwhile literary endeavor. Instead, the basic interest of science fiction lies in the relation between man and his technology and between man and the universe. Science fiction is a literature of change and a literature of the future, and the aspects of human life that it considers make it well worth reading and studying for no other literary form does quite the same things. What is science fiction? To begin, the following definition should be helpful: science fiction is a literary subgenre which postulates(以……为前提) a change (for human beings) from conditions as we know them and follows the implications of these changes to a conclusion.
The first point that science fiction is a literary sub genre--is a very important one, but one which is often overlooked or ignored in most discussions of science fiction. Specifically, science fiction is either a short story or a novel. There are only a few dramas which could be called science fiction, the body of poetry that might be labeled science fiction is only slightly larger. To say that science fiction is a subgenre of prose fiction is to say that it has all the basic characteristics and serves the same basic functions in much the same way as prose fiction in general, that is, it shares a great deal with all other novels and short stories.
Everything that can be said about prose fiction, in general, applies to science fiction. Every piece of science fiction, whether short story or novel, must have a narrator, a story, a plot, the themes of science fiction are concerned with interpreting man’s nature and experience in relation to the world around him. Themes in science fiction are constructed and presented in exactly the same ways that themes are dealt with in any other kind of fiction. They are the result to a particular combination of a narrator, story, plot, character, setting, and language. In short, the reasons for reading and enjoying science fiction, and the ways of studying and analyzing it, are basically the same as they would be for any other story or novel. [br] From the first paragraph, we can infer that science fiction has been most popular in the 20th century because ______.
选项
A、with the growth of literacy, the size of the reading public has increased
B、competition from television has created a demand for more exciting fiction
C、science fiction is easier to understand than other kinds of fiction
D、the increased importance of technology has given science fiction an increased relevance
答案
D
解析
细节推理题。见第一段的第三句话,“Instead,the basic interest...relation between man and his technology...the universe.”科幻小说的根本兴趣在于人与科技,人与宇宙的关系。依此推理,科幻小说之所以在20世纪(相对与之前)最受欢迎是由于科技在20世纪愈显重要。所以D为正确答案。
