Humans are naturally drawn to other life forms and the worlds outside of our own. We take delight in the existence of creatures and even whole societies beyond our everyday lives.
This sense of wonder is universal. Look at the efforts that scientists have made to find out whether life of some kind exists on Mars, and the popularity of fantasy literature or movies like The Lord of the Rings. This sense of wonder draws us to each other, to the world around us, and to the world of make-believe. But have we gone so far in creating worlds of fantasy that we are missing the pleasure of other worlds that already exist all around us?
Human beings, as biologists have suggested, possess an inborn desire to connect with and understand other life forms. However, people, especially in big cities, often lead rather isolated lives. In a study of British schoolchildren, it was found that children by age eight were much more familiar with characters from television shows and video games than with common wildlife. Without modem technology, a small pond could be an amazing world filled with strange and beautiful plants, insects, birds, and animals. When we lack meaningful interaction(交互) with the world around us, and sometimes even with our families and friends, we seek to understand and communicate with things that exist only in our imaginations or on a computer screen。
The world of make-believe is not necessarily bad. But when the world of fantasy becomes the only outlet(出路) for our sense of wonder, then we are really missing something. We are missing a connection with the living world. Other wonderful worlds exist all around us. But even more interesting is that if we look closely enough, we can see that these worlds, in a broad sense, are really part of our own.

(答案→)D 解析:【小题1】推理题:文章第二段提到《指环王》的流行,然后说:But have we gone so far in creating worlds of fantasy that we are missing the pleasure of other worlds that already exist all around us?我们对奇幻世界的好奇会不会使我们对我们现存的世界的快乐呢?推断应选D。【小题2】推理题:从其后的一句话When we lack meaningful interaction(交互) with the world around us, and sometimes even with our families and friends, we seek to understand and communicate with things that exist only in our imaginations or on a computer screen。说明当我们缺少和外界世界的有意义的交互时,我们只能和存在在我们想象中的事物交流了。言外之意就是外界可以给我们奇迹的源泉。选B。【小题3】细节题:从文章最后一段的:We are missing a connection with the living world.看出如果依赖想象世界,我们就不能享受现在生活的快乐。A【小题4】主旨题:从文章最后一段的Other wonderful worlds exist all around us. But even more interesting is that if we look closely enough, we can see that these worlds, in a broad sense, are really part of our own.意思是:我们周围的世界才是我们生活的一部分,说明作者是想警告我们不能迷失在奇幻世界中。B
