He is also a productive writer of outstanding short fiction, which is collected in many volumes over the last forty years, most recently in The Best of Gene Wolfe.‎ Although Wolfe is not as wellknown to readers as he once was, he has been the receiver of great praise, including three World Fantasy Awards, two Nebulas, and eight Hugo Award nominations (提名)．Scifi author Harlan Ellison has called him, “no less than one of the finest, most original writers in the world today”， and the Encyclopedia of Science Fiction names him “quite possibly the most important” writer in the field of science fiction.‎ Born in 1931, New York, Gene Wolfe moved frequently as a child，but spent most of his growingup years in Texas.Wolfe began writing fiction in 1956, selling his first story, The Dead Man，to Sir magazine in 1965.He produced a vast amount of short ‎ 7‎ fiction during the 1960s and 1970s, many of which were published in Damon Knight's Orbit anthologies.In 1972 Wolfe's groundbreaking The Fifth Head of Cerberus appeared.The story of human conquest (征服) upon two distant planets, the book examines issues of identity, individuality, and the results of colonialism upon both the colonized and the colonizer.The novel was later listed in David Pringle's 1985 list of The 100 Best Novels in science fiction for the period 1949～1984.‎ Many of his novels, The Shadow of the Torturer included, rely on a diary or letter to tell his story.In addition, Wolfe's early interest in mystery novels shines through in his ability to drop cleverly hidden clues (线索) that allow the reader to grasp at the possible narrative behind the narrative.‎ By 1984 Wolfe was able to retire and devote himself fulltime to his writing.Yet despite (尽管) all this，and despite the continuing respect of his colleagues, his work has become somewhat unfamiliar.Wolfe's admirers hope this fact will be at least somewhat improved by his most recent offering, The Wizard Knight, which falls within the fantasy type that is currently popular.‎ ‎【解题导语】　本文是记叙文。文章主要介绍了美国科幻、奇幻小说家吉恩·沃尔夫。‎ ‎1．What is Harlan Ellison's attitude toward Gene Wolfe?‎ A．Concerned.　　　　　　 B．Sympathetic.‎ C．Admiring.　　 D．Regretful.‎ 解析：选C　观点态度题。由第二段中的“Scifi author Harlan Ellison has called him，‘no less than one of the finest, most original writers in the world today’”可知，科幻作家Harlan Ellison对吉恩·沃尔夫赞誉有加。‎ ‎2．What do we know about The Fifth Head of Cerberus?‎ A．It was well received.‎ B．It was Gene Wolfe's first novel.‎ C．It was published in Sir magazine.‎ D．It was coauthored by David Pringle.‎ 解析：选A　推理判断题。由第三段中的“The novel was later listed in David Pringle's 1985 list of The 100 Best Novels in science fiction for the period 1949～1984.”可知，吉恩·沃尔夫的《刻耳柏洛斯的第五个头》受到读者的好评。‎ ‎3．Which has great influence on Gene Wolfe's writing style?‎ A．His understanding of life.‎ B．His childhood experiences.‎ C．His colleagues' suggestions.‎ 7‎ D．His love for mystery fiction.‎ 解析：选D　推理判断题。由倒数第二段中的“...Wolfe's early interest in mystery novels shines through in his ability...”可知，吉恩·沃尔夫早期对推理小说的兴趣极大影响了他的写作风格。‎ ‎4．What can we infer about Gene Wolfe from the last paragraph?‎ A．His work has become less popular.‎ B．He became famous for The Wizard Knight.‎ C．His fans were disappointed to some degree.‎ D．He stopped fantasy writing after his retirement.‎ 解析：选A　推理判断题。由最后一段中的“his work has become somewhat unfamiliar”可知，吉恩·沃尔夫的作品变得有些不太为人所知。‎ B Sometimes people call each other“scaredcat”. But have you ever thought about this expression? When a cat is frightened, its heart starts beating faster，its muscles get tense and there are changes in the chemicals in its bloodstream. Although the cat doesn't realize this, its body is getting ready for action. If the danger continues，the animal will do one of two things. It will protect itself，or it will run away as fast as it can.‎ Something like this also happens to people. When we are excited, angry or scared by other feelings，our bodies go through many physical changes. Our hearts beat faster，and our muscles get tense. All of these changes make us more alert and ready to react. We，too，get ready to defend ourselves or run.‎ Human beings, however，have a problem that animals never face. If we give way to our feelings and let them take over，we can get into trouble. Have you ever said something in anger or hit somebody and regretted it later? Have you ever shouted at a teacher，told somebody you were lonely，or said you were in love，and then wished later you had kept your mouth shut? It isn't always clever to express your feelings freely.‎ Does this mean that it's smarter to always hide our feelings? No! If you keep feelings of anger，sadness hidden away or bottled up inside，your body stays tense. Physical illness can develop, and you can feel disturbed badly inside. It can actually be bad for your health. It isn't good to keep pleasant feelings inside either; all feelings need to be expressed.‎ Feelings that you keep all bottled up inside don't just go away. It's as if you 7‎ ‎ bought some bananas and put them in a cupboard. You might not be able to see them，but before long you'd smell them. And if you opened the cupboard，chances are that you'd see little fruit flies flying all over them. They are bad.‎ You can try to treat feelings as if they were bananas in the cupboard. You can hide them and you can pretend they don't exist，but they'll still be around. And at last you'll have to deal with them, just like those bananas.‎ ‎【解题导语】　本文是一篇说明文，由猫面对害怕而表现出的行为引出人类有同样遭遇时的表现，但人类不能控制感情的时候会陷入困境。由此，作者告诉我们应该以一种明智而恰当的方式对待这种情况，即合理地表达感受。‎ ‎5．When people and animals are aroused by fear，________.‎ A．they feel very regretful immediately B．their muscles get neither tense nor relaxed C．their hearts beat either faster or slower D．they may get ready to attack or run away 解析：选D　细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“If the danger continues, the animal will... as fast as it can.”及第二段中的“We, too, get ready to defend ourselves or run.”可知，当人或动物产生恐惧心理时，他们会攻击或逃跑。‎ ‎6．Why do human beings get into trouble according to the passage?‎ A．They are usually not as alert as animals.‎ B．They sometimes can't control their feelings.‎ C．They always do something wrong to other people.‎ D．They don't pay attention to their physical changes.‎ 解析：选B　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“If we give way to our feelings and let them take over，we can get into trouble.”可知，人们陷入困境是因为他们有时不能控制自己的感情，因此选B。‎ ‎7．What can we infer from the passage?‎ A．Holding in your feelings may lead to unpleasant results.‎ B．Bananas stay fresh longer when they are in a cupboard.‎ C．Feelings will gradually disappear when you hold them in.‎ D．It's good for your health to keep pleasant feelings inside.‎ 解析：选A　细节理解题。根据第四段中的“If you keep feelings of anger...It can actually be bad for your health.”可知，把感情隐藏在内心会导致不好的结果。‎ ‎8．What is the purpose of this passage?‎ A．To tell us that people's feelings are like bananas in a cupboard.‎ 7‎ B．To give us some advice on how to express our feelings.‎ C．To help us deal with feelings in a wise and proper way.‎ D．To prove that it isn't always wise to express our feelings freely.‎ 解析：选C　写作意图题。通读全文可知，这篇文章的目的是帮助我们明智而恰当地处理我们的感情。‎ Ⅲ.语法填空 At my workplace there aren't enough 1.________ (opportunity) to be different.
