It was when I was attending high school that I first read Asimov’s stories. At the time, a few science fiction magazines began to introduce this author, and to translate a few pieces from his “Robot Series”. Of Asimov’s works, the one that left the deepest impression on me was Pebble in the Sky. This novel directly influenced my early science fiction writing. Asimov was one of the leading writers of western science fiction’s Golden Age, so although his writing may not have a direct influence on writers of today, his underlying (潛在的) influence on many levels is undeniable — the famous Three Laws of Robotics, and many classic writing techniques, for example. Asimov’s novels are marked by a fully integrated (完整的) logical system, and his stories are a pleasure to read. This is the reason his novels still attract readers today. Naturally, western science fiction has few people these days who follow Asimov’s creative methods. But still the majority of Chinese science fiction readers would rather read the classic works of Asimov. Compared with the “Robot Series”, Asimov’s “Foundation Series” is a little less well-known in China. In fact, the “Foundation Series” creates an entire world, even grander than that of the “Robot Series”; this science fiction had a direct influence on later western science fiction, the most famous example being Star Wars.
小題1:We learn from the passage that the writer is probably a _________.
A．science fiction writerB．science fiction publisher
C．high school studentD．science fiction fan
小題2:The purpose of the passage is to _________.
A．compare Asimov with other science fiction writers
B．advise people to read Asimov’s stories
C．give some comments on Asimov’s influence
D．explain why Asimov is popular in China
小題3:According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A．Asimov is criticized by today’s science fiction writers.
B．Asimov still has many readers in China.
C．Asimov wrote Star Wars in his later life.
D．Asimov’s writing techniques are still widely used.
小題4:In the writer’s opinion, Asimov’s “Foundation Series” _________.
A．was not as successful as his “Robot Series”
B．is better known to readers than his “Robot Series”
C．was more logically organized than his “Robot Series”
D．was written better than his “Robot Series” in some ways

“Mum, what does it mean when someone tells you that they have a skeleton (骨骼) in the closet (衣櫥)？”Jessica asked. “A skeleton in the closet?” her mother paused thoughtfully, “Well, it’s something that you would rather not have anyone else know about. For example, if in the past, someone in Dad’s family had been arrested for stealing a horse, it would be ‘a skeleton in his family’s closet’. He really wouldn’t want any neighbor to know about it.”
“Why pick on my family?” Jessica’s father said with anger. “Your family history isn’t so good, you know. Wasn’t you great – great grandfather a prisoner who was transported to Australia for his crimes?”“Yes, but people these days say that you are not a real Australian unless your ancestors arrived as prisoners.”“Gosh, sorry I asked. I think I understand now,” Jessica cut in before things grew worse.
After dinner, the house was very quiet. Jessica’s parents were still quite angry with each other. Her mother was ironing clothes and every now and then she glared at her husband, who hid behind his newspaper pretending to read. When she finished, she gathered the freshly pressed clothes in her arms and walked to Jessica’s closet. Just as she opened the door and reached in to hang a skirt, a bony arm stuck out from the dark depths and a bundle of white bones fell to the floor. Jessica’s mother sank into a faint (暈倒), waking only when Jessica put a cold, wet cloth on her forehead. She looked up to see the worried faces of her husband and daughter.
“What happened? Where am I?” she asked. “You just destroyed the school’s skeleton, Mum,” explained Jessica. “I brought it home to help me with my health project. I meant to tell you, but it seemed that as soon as I mentioned skeletons and closets, it caused a problem between you and Dad.” Jessica looked in amazement as her parents began to laugh madly. “They’re both crazy,” she thought.
小題1:According to Jessica’s mother, “a skeleton in the closet” means         .
A．a family honorB．a family secret
C．a family storyD．a family treasure
小題2:What can we learn about some Australian’s ancestors from Paragraph 2?______.
A．They were brought to Australia as prisoners.
B．They were the earliest people living in Australia.
C．They were involved in some crimes in Australia.
D．They were not regarded as criminals in their days.
小題3:Jessica’s mother fell down into a faint because she was          .
A．knockedB．frightenedC．injuredD．surprised
小題4:Why did Jessica bring a skeleton home? _________.
A．She was curious about it.B．She planned to keep it for fun.
C．She needed it for her school task.D．She intended to scare her parents.
小題5:Jessica’s parents laughed madly at the end of the story probably because        .
A．they were crazy
B．they were overexcited
C．they realized their misunderstanding
D．they both thought they had won the quarrel
