Ⅳ.话题语篇填空
Time travel, alien invasions, and artificial intelligence have always been popular
themes in science fiction.1.However, these were never the exclusive domains of sci－
fi writers. Some scientists also have 2.an urge to explore these themes on a scientific
basis. Take time travel as an example. Many fascinating stories 3.based (base) on time
travel go 4.either backwards or forwards in time. However, the former is not really an
option. World － famous scientist Stephen Hawking once explained that
5.travelling(travel) into the past would conflict with the basic rule that cause 6.comes
(come) before effect. But it would be possible to travel into the future in a7.vastly(vast) superior spaceship approaching the speed of light. In addition to the
question of time travel, Hawking also expressed his opinions on alien invasions and
AI development. When many scientists and scholars 8.were arguing(argue) about the
pros and cons of alien 9.existence(exist) and AI development, he believed aliens
would invade Earth, and that humans 10.would be taken(take) over by AI and robots
eventually.
