问题 Among the most popular books being written today are those which are usually classified as science fiction. Hundreds of titles are published every year and are read by all kinds of people. Furthermore, some of the most successful films in recent years have been based on science fiction stories. It is often thought that science fiction is a fairly new development in literature, but it can be found in books written hundreds of years ago. These books were often concerned with the presentation of some form of ideal society, a theme which is still often found in modern stories. Most of the classics of science fiction, however, have been written within the last hundred years. Books by writers such as Jules Verne and H.G. Wells, to mention just two well-known authors, have been translated into many languages. Modern science fiction writers don't write about men from Mars or space adventure stories. They are more interested in predicting the results of technical developments on society and the human mind; or in imagining future world which are a reflection of the world which we live in now.

选项 A.science fiction is a fairly new development in literature B.the history of science fiction is less than a hundred years C.the science fiction in the past is more popular than modern science fiction D.modern science fiction usually has obviously political undertones

答案 D

解析根据文章第三段最后一句，“Because of this their writing has obviously political under—tones”可知，科幻小说家的创作会有很鲜明的政治底色，故D正确。文中第二段第一句说科幻小说经常被认为是一个很新的文学形式，但是在数百年前就可以找到科幻小说，所以A项不对；根据文章第二段第一句，文中说的是“hundreds of years ago(成百上千年前)”，不是“less than a hundred years”，所以B项不对；对于C项，文章第一段说现在科幻小说很流行，并没有比较科幻小说在现在还是在过去更出名。故选D。
