解析：

(1)	只有title(標(biāo)題，題目)能與publish連用，title此處代替的是“帶有標(biāo)題的科幻小說”。styles“風(fēng)格”；subjects“主題”；topics“話題”。
(2)	furthermore“況且”；otherwise“要不然的話”；anyway“不管怎么樣”；clearly“顯而易見”。前后部分的邏輯關(guān)系是遞進(jìn)關(guān)系。
(3)	be based on“建立在……基礎(chǔ)上。”
(4)	a development in literature意為“文學(xué)中的一個發(fā)展”。progress是不可數(shù)名詞，“進(jìn)步”；product指“作品”。
(5)	這句話的意思是“經(jīng)常認(rèn)為科幻小說是文學(xué)的一個新的發(fā)展，但是它的祖先可在幾百年前的書上找到”。
(6)	care for“關(guān)心，”意思是指“這些小說關(guān)心某一個理想社會的出現(xiàn)”。
(7)	理想社會，只有A項正確。
(8)	理想社會這個主題在現(xiàn)代小說中也仍然經(jīng)常找到。
(9)	另起話題，用however。
(10)	只有years符合句意。
(11)	to mention just two well-known authors是插入語，意為“提一下兩位著名的作家”。
(12)	當(dāng)代科幻小說的作家不再寫火星人或探險故事。
(13)	from指來源，來自火星的人。
(14)	他們對預(yù)測社會科技進(jìn)步的后果和人類心理狀態(tài)更感興趣。
(15)	on“關(guān)于”。
(16)	想象的未來世界。
(17)	which引導(dǎo)定語從句，作live in的賓語。
(18)	正因為如此，他們的作品有個明顯的政治寓意。
(19)	catch up with“趕上……”。
(20)	由于科學(xué)事實經(jīng)常趕超了科幻小說的預(yù)測。所以作家們很難領(lǐng)先于科學(xué)的進(jìn)步。
