12.Mark and his brother Jason both were looking at the shining new computer enviously.Jason was determined not to go against their father's wishes but Mark was more adventurous than his brother.He loved experimenting and his aim was to become a scientist like his father.
"Dad will be really mad if he finds out you've been playing with his new computer."Jason said,"He told us not to touch it."
"He won't find out."Mark said,"I'll just have a quick look and shut it down."
Mark had been scolded before for touching his father's equipment.But his curiosity was difficult to control and this new computer really puzzled him.
It was a strange-looking machine-one his dad had brought home from the laboratory where he worked."It's an experimental model,"his father had explained,"so don't touch it under any circumstances."But his father's warning only served to make Mark more curious.Without any further thought,Mark turned on the power switch.The computer burst into life and seconds later,the screen turned into colors,shifting and changing and then two big white words appeared in the center of the screen:"SPACE TRANSPORTER."
"Yes!"Mark cried excitedly,"It's a computer game.I knew it!Dad's only been pretending to work.He's really been playing games instead."A new message appeared on the screen:
"ENTER NAMES
VOYAGER 1:…
VOYAGER 2:…"
Mark's fingers flew across the keyboard as he typed in both of their names.
"INPUT ACCEPTED.START TRANSPORT PROGRAM.AUTO-RETRIEVE INITIATED(自動回收程序已啟動)."
The screen turned even brighter and a noise suddenly rose in volume.
"I think we'd better shut it off,Mark,"Jason yelled,reaching for the power switch.He was really frightened.
But his hand never reached the switch.A single beam of dazzling white light burst out of the computer screen,wrapping the boys in its glow (光芒),until they themselves seemed to be glowing.Then it died down just as suddenly as it had burst into life.And the boys were no longer there.On the screen,the letters changed.
"TRANSPORT SUCCESSFUL.DESTINATION(目的地):MARS.RETRIEVE DATE:2025."

分析 本文講的是一個科幻故事,講述的是兄弟倆對父親的電腦很好奇,打開之后按照程序進(jìn)行輸入,結(jié)果通過電腦,穿越到火星上去的科幻故事.
解答 56.C 考查細(xì)節(jié)理解.根據(jù)第四段"Mark had been scolded before for touching his father's equipment.But his curiosity was difficult to control and this new computer really puzzled him."可知,他很難控制自己的好奇心,而且這臺新的電腦真的讓他很困惑,選項C是這句話的同義表達(dá)----He was so much attracted by it:他完全被電腦給吸引住了.所以本題選C.
57.C 考查細(xì)節(jié)推理.根據(jù)第一段中的"become a scientist like his father"和第五段中的"from the laboratory where he worked"及下文發(fā)生的情況可知,他父親最有可能在科研中心工作.選C.
58.A 考查細(xì)節(jié)理解.從第六段的"It's a computer game."可知,Mark認(rèn)為它是一個電腦游戲的名字.選A.
59.D 考查細(xì)節(jié)理解.從倒數(shù)第三段的"Jason yelled,reaching for the power switch.He was really frightened."可知,Jason非常害怕會有危險的事情發(fā)生.所以選D.

點評 文章對細(xì)節(jié)的描寫很到位,題目也自然是針對這些因素了.本文考查細(xì)節(jié)題為主,細(xì)節(jié)題可以在文章中直接找到與答案有關(guān)的信息或是其變體.搜查信息在閱讀中非常重要它包括理解作者在敘述某事時使用的具體事實、數(shù)據(jù)、圖表等細(xì)節(jié)信息.在一篇短文里大部分篇幅都屬于這類圍繞主體展開的細(xì)節(jié).做這類題一般采用尋讀法,即先讀題,然后帶著問題快速閱讀短文,找出與問題有關(guān)的詞語或句子,再對相關(guān)部分進(jìn)行分析對比,找出答案.
