2021高考英语二轮阅读理解一百六十集选练（80）

阅读理解。阅读下列短文,从每题所给出的四个选项(A,B,C 和 D)中,选出最佳选项。

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(幻想) 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 modern 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.

( ) 1. The popularity of The Lord of the Rings proves___________ A. the

close connection between man and the fantasy world B. the wonderful

achievements of fantasy literature C. the fine taste of moviegoers around the

world D. the general existence of the sense of curiosity
