The speaker is talking about______. [br]
Fantasy is a tough sell in the twentieth century. The world has been tully discovered and fully mapped. Popular media has effectively minimized the legend and the fantastic rumor, though to make up for this it has generated falsities not as lavish but just as interesting. Satellites have mapped and studied the earth, leaving only a space frontier that is as yet unreachable. But standing out is a charming fantasy the modern world has yet to verify or condemn: the lost continent of Atlantis. The father of the modern world’s perception of Atlantis is Plato. The Greek philosopher spoke in his works Timaeus and Critias of a continent in the Atlantic ocean larger than Africa and Asia Minor combined which rivaled Athens as the most advanced in the world. According to the legend surrounding Plato’s dialogues, the island of Atlantis was violently thrown into the sea by the forces of nature, and its few survivors managed to swim ashore and relate their story. There the legend was passed by word of mouth until an Egyptian priest related the story to Solon, a character in Timaeus. The priest admired the achievements of prehistoric Athenians, because when the rulers of Atlantis threatened to invade all of Europe and Asia, the Athenians, on behalf of all Greeks, defeated the Atlanteans to avoid enslavement.
选项
A、More and more people are becoming less and less interested in fantasy.
B、Modern science and technology has almost left little room for fantasy.
C、Most of the fantasies are false, as humans have exhausted the unknown.
D、Media has almost created and distributed falsities in the place of fantasy.
答案
C
解析
根据讲话,人们对fantasy不是很感兴趣是因为现代科技和媒体已经给fantasy没有留下多大的生存空间,所以媒体就创造虚假的事物来取代古老的幻想。但是,人类还没有完全穷尽一些未知领域,如讲话里提到的宇宙空间。
