Mark and his brother Jason both were looking at the shining new computer enviously, Jason was determined not to go against their father’s wishes but Mark was more adventurous than his brother. He loved experimenting and his aim was to become a scientist like his father.
“Dad will be really mad if he finds out you’ve been playing with his new computer.” Jason said, “He told us not to touch it.”
“He won’t find out,” Mark said. “I’ll just have a quick look and shut it down.”
Mark had been scolded before for touching his father’s equipment. But his curiosity was difficult to control and this new computer really puzzled him.
It was a strange-looking machine — one his dad had brought home from the laboratory where he worked. “It’s an experimental model,” his father had explained, “so don’t touch it under any circumstances.” But his father’s warning only served to make Mark more curious. Without any further thought, Mark turned on the power switch. The computer burst into life and seconds later, the screen turned into colors, shifting and changing and then two big white words appeared in the centre of the screen: “SPACE TRANSPORTER.” “Yes!” Mark cried excitedly, “It’s a computer game. I knew it! Dad’s only been pretending to work. He’s really been playing games instead.” A new message appeared on the screen: “ENTER NAMES
VOYAGER 1:…
VOYAGER 2:…”
Mark’s fingers flew across the keyboard as he typed in both of their names.
“INPUT ACCEPTED. START TRANSPORT PROGRAM. AUTO-RETRIEVE INITIATED (自动回收程序已启动).”
The screen turned even brighter and a noise suddenly rose in volume.
“I think we’d better shut it off, Mark,” Jason yelled, reaching for the power switch. He was really frightened.
But his hand never reached the switch. A single beam of dazzling white light burst out of the computer screen, wrapping the boys in its glow(光芒) , until they themselves seemed to be glowing. Then it died down just as suddenly as it had burst into life. And the boys were no longer there. On the screen, the letters changed.
“TRANSPORT SUCCESSFUL. DESTINATION (目的地)：MARS. RETRIEVE DATE: 2025.”

解析

试题分析：Mark 喜欢实验，他的目标是成为像他父亲那样的科学家。 他抵挡不住电脑的诱惑，背着父亲打开了电脑，不可思议的事情发生了。
小题1:细节理解题。根据第四段第二句“But his curiosity was difficult to control and this new computer really puzzled him.(但是他的好奇心难以遏制，因为这台新的电脑真的让他感到困惑。)”，可知答案为C。
小题2:细节理解题。根据第五段的第一句话“It was a strange -looking machine — one his dad had brought home from the laboratory where he worked.(看，这是一台很奇怪的机器—— 他爸爸从他工作的实验室里带回家的。)”，并且由本句中的laboratory可以得知答案选C。
小题3:细节理解题。根据Mark 说的It’s a computer game。可知，他认为他父亲是假装在工作，实际上是在玩游戏。所以选A。
小题4:词意猜测题。文中提供了很清楚的信息为倒数第三段“He was really frightened.”“他真的非常害怕”，但无法立即确定正确答案；由倒数第四段“The screen turned even brighter and a noise suddenly rose in volume.” “屏幕变得更亮，一个噪音音量突然增大”，可知道“可能发生危险的事情”。和D项意思符合。
小题5:细节理解题。根据最后两句的意思是，男孩子不在电脑前了，而屏幕上显示他们被送上了火星。故选B。
