文章大意：文章講了我們現(xiàn)在所使用的科技產(chǎn)品早就在科幻書或者電影當(dāng)中上提到了，比如電子書、機(jī)器人，而且有一些電影也是由書籍改編的。

【1】內(nèi)容推斷題，根據(jù)"Ebook readers didn't appear until 1999，but as long ago as 1961，author Stanislaw Lem wrote about them in his book，Return from the Stars"電子書直到1999年才出現(xiàn)，但早在1961年，作家斯坦尼斯拉夫萊姆就在他的著作《重返星球》中提到了電子書，文章講了我們現(xiàn)在所使用的科技產(chǎn)品早就在書中提到了，比如電子書，而《重返星球》就是一部科幻小說(shuō)，因此，這些故事更有可能是一些科幻小說(shuō)，故答案選B。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題，根據(jù)"Did you know that a lot of the technology we use today appeared in books before scientists invented it"你知道我們今天使用的許多技術(shù)在科學(xué)家發(fā)明它之前就已經(jīng)出現(xiàn)在書中了嗎，且下文又提及了電子書和取款機(jī)，可知這些事物現(xiàn)在在人們的現(xiàn)實(shí)生活中已經(jīng)存在了，故答案選A。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題，根據(jù)"his mother is given an android which looks and behaves exactly like a real boy． The robot loves her like a son"可知android是一個(gè)機(jī)器人，故答案選D。

【4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題，根據(jù)"Iron Man Marvel Comics （1963）Marvel films （2008 onward）"可知鋼鐵俠是根據(jù)漫畫改編的，故答案選C。

【5】細(xì)節(jié)理解題，根據(jù)"Back to the Future Part II， Steven Spielberg （1989）When Marty and his friend travel to the future， one of the most amazing machines they find is flying cars"可知回到未來(lái)2中出現(xiàn)的是會(huì)飛的汽車，故答案選A。

【6】內(nèi)容推斷題， 根據(jù)"Minority Report short story by Philip K． Dick （1956）and a film by Steven Spielberg "可知電影Minority Report是由Dick的短篇小說(shuō)改編，導(dǎo)演是Steven Spielberg ，A項(xiàng)：我喜歡它以母親和孩子為中心主題，我喜歡它把一個(gè)匹諾曹式的童話故事融入成人內(nèi)容的方式，但是這個(gè)電影不是以親子為中心的，而是以犯罪為中心的。B項(xiàng)：它從頭到尾都充滿了不間斷的動(dòng)作場(chǎng)面，是兒童電影中最好的一部，我喜歡它以系列電影的形式出現(xiàn)的方式，也是有史以來(lái)最棒的漫威電影之一，這部影片應(yīng)該不屬于兒童電影，也不是系列電影。

C項(xiàng)：通過將Dick的故事改編成驚悚片，Spielberg忠實(shí)地演繹了這個(gè)故事．他把黑暗可怕的東西變成了柔軟舒適的東西 ，導(dǎo)演是 Spielberg ，作家是Dick，符合文章給出的提示。D項(xiàng)：我喜歡它的原因是時(shí)間旅行在這里運(yùn)用得非常好。他們提出的想法很有趣，交流也很好，但是這部電影沒有講到時(shí)間旅行，不符合題意。故答案選C。
