[江西赣州多校 2024 高二联考]Frank Herbert's science fiction *Dune* was the first coming - of - age story that helped me survive my lonely junior high school. At age 12, my life was the tiny, boring cycle of home, school and my parents' store. *Dune* *cracked* it all open and led me to a universe that made my little world a lot more bearable. Unlike Holden Caulfield in *The Catcher in the Rye* who kept breaking windows, *Dune*'s main character, Paul Atreides, equipped me with a junior - high survival guide.
Paul is not a classic *underdog*. He's the son of a king. He's been trained since birth in war arts, politics and critical survival skills by a group of smart and experienced men with impossible - to - pronounce names. But when his world is turned upside down—when he leaves his home, loses his father and enters a physically and politically *hostile* environment—he doesn't complain and cry. He adapts.
To this day, I still can recite his words against fear: "I must not fear. Fear is the mind - killer. Fear is the little - death that brings total obliteration (完全毁灭). I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."
The steady diet of literary fiction assigned by my teachers was *escapist* and the very act of reading (whatever the content) usually took me out of a given moment, but didn't provide much advice on how to face my daily conflicts and painful insecurity.
*Dune* was escapist, too. However, it was *expansive* and literally *redefined* possibility for me, who had been struggling along with eyes on the ground, just trying to make it through another day of boredom and hardship of being a teenage girl. Paul lifted my eyes up so I could see the stars.

D. Pleasant.
2. What is probably the author's deepest impression of Paul?

3. What does the author say about herself as a teenager?
A. She was an optimistic girl.
B. She was not loved by her parents.
C. She had a carefree childhood.
D. She felt insecure and unconfident.
4. What is the best title for the text?

答案： 【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。作者在文中回顾了科幻小说《沙丘》曾对她产生的影响。
1.B 词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句“But when his world is turned upside down—when he leaves his home, loses his father and enters a physically and politically hostile environment—he doesn’t complain and cry.”可知，enters a physically and politically hostile environment 应该与“leaves his home, loses his father”并列，指一种不好的境地。再结合前文提到他所在的环境是很优渥的且 But 表转折可推知，hostile 意为“不友好的；不利的”，和B项意思相近。故选B项。
巧贴士：做阅读理解词义猜测题时，要多留意 and、but 等表示逻辑关系的词，有助于快速推断出画线词的词义。
2.C 推理判断题。第二段中提到保罗处于不利境地时没有抱怨和哭而是适应了，结合第三段中作者引用的保罗面对恐惧时的话可推断，保罗面对恐惧的勇气给作者留下了最深刻的印象。故选C项。
3.D 推理判断题。根据第四段内容“The steady diet of literary fiction... but didn’t provide much advice on how to face my daily conflicts and painful insecurity.”及最后一段中的“However... just trying to make it through another day of boredom and hardship of being a teenage girl. Paul lifted my eyes up so I could see the stars.”可推断，那时候的作者是个缺乏安全感、很不自信的女孩子。故选D项。
4.C 主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“Frank Herbert’s science fiction Dune was the first coming-of-age story that helped me survive my lonely junior high school.”并综观全文可知，科幻小说《沙丘》给作者提供了许多初中时期的生存指南，所以C项适合做本文的最佳标题。故选C项。
