B．easyC．new D．different答案：D根據上文中的similar及or可知此處選與similar意義相反的詞。故選different。2．A.that B．whatC．whether D．asif答案：D句意：有些故事講起來像真的一樣。由句意可知，aretold后面接的不是賓語從句，而是方式狀語從句，故排除A、B、C三項。asif/though“似乎，好像”，常引導方式狀語從句。3．A.usual B．normalC．certain D．common答案：B句意：生活在正常社會中的真實的人們做真實的事情。normal表示“符合常態(tài)或一般的標準”，符合語境。usual指時間上“通常的”；certain“某個；確定的”；common“常見的”。4．A.realistic B．reasonableC．moral D．instructive答案：A上文提到，有些故事寫的就是一些與我們一樣的人，做著和我們同樣的事。此處說有些故事則是非現實的。realistic“現實的”，符合語境。5．A.difficult B．impossibleC．important D．necessary答案：B句意：他們是與我們不同的人物和創(chuàng)造物，他們能做我們不可能(impossible)做到的事。故B項正確。6．A.thinkable B．designedC．imagined D．planned答案：C'thinkable“能想到的”；designed“設計好的”；imagined“想象出來的”；planned“計劃好的”。雖然故事有現實和非現實之分，但都是“想象”的。故C項正確。7．A.do B．makeC．have D．are答案：Ado在此處用來加強語氣，強調謂語動詞seem。8．A.lessons B．dreamsC．experience D．magic答案：D句意：例如，即使閱讀《哈利·波特》，我們似乎也能讀到有關現實世界的東西。而哈利在霍格沃茲魔法學校學習魔法的同時，也學會了更多關于現實生活的東西。故D項正確。9．A.working B．thinkingC．living D．understanding答案：B根據文章第三段中的“Bothrealismandfantasy__11__theimaginationandthe‘magic’ofreadingandwritingtomakeusthink.”可知此處選B項。10．A.knowledge B．skillC．words D．grammar答案：A句意：我們用我們的知識(真實存在的)和想象(以一種不同的方式真實存在的)使得文字在我們的腦海中變得鮮活起來。故A項正確。11．A.make B．getC．use D．have答案：C句意：無論現實主義還是非現實主義的作品，都運用(use)想象及閱讀和寫作的“魔力”讓我們(讀者)進行思考。故選C項。12．A.recall B．ensureC．imagine D．understand答案：C由上一句中的“Bothrealismandfantasy”及“theimaginationand...”可知此處應填imagine。13．A.find B．learnC．know D．hope答案：C我們知道(know)我們是真實存在的，而書中人物則不是真實的。故選C項。14．A.too B．notC．all D．so答案：B根據句意，我們是真實的，而書中人物則不是真實的。故選B項。15．A.dangerous B．seriousC．strange D．terrible答案：C句意：這聽起來很奇怪(strange)，但這方法是可行的。故C項正確。16.A.talk B．learnC．read D．think答案：D句意：在閱讀過程中，我們會填補書中沒有的信息，思考(think)書中人物行為的前因后果。由前面提到的“...readingandwritingtomakeusthink”也可找到解題線索，故選D項。17.A.telling B．pretendingC．promising D．guessing答案：B雖然我們明知我們讀的東西是虛構的，但我們還是“假裝”(pretending)我們讀到的與現實生活是一樣的。于是我們在閱讀的同時也是在創(chuàng)作，增補信息，思考因果。18．A.mind B．lifeC．world D．society答案：A句意：我們多數人閱讀時也許不會想我們的頭腦中究竟在想什么。mind“想法；頭腦”，符合語境。19．A.what B．howC．when D．why答案：C句意：了解自己閱讀時的感受，有助于我們成為更好的讀者……。when“當……時候”，符合語境。20．A.writers B．fansC．professors D．readers答案：D本文討論的是閱讀，且由文章最后一句“這樣做幫助我們發(fā)現書的真正魔力”可知，此處指如何成為一個更好的讀者，故選D項。Ⅱ.閱讀理解AAbookreviewtellsnotonlywhatabookisabout,butalsohowsuccessfulitisatwhatitistryingtodo.Professorsoftenassignbookreviewsaspracticeincarefulanalyticalreading.Asareviewer,youbringtogetherthetwopartsofaccurate,analyticalreadingandstrong,personalresponsewhenyouindicatewhatthebookisaboutandwhatitmightmeantoareader.Inotherwords,reviewersanswernotonlytheWHATbuttheSOWHATquestionaboutabook.Thus,inwritingareview,youcombinetheskillsofdescribingwhatisonthepage,analyzinghowthebooktriedtoachieveitspurpose,andexpressingyourownreactions.Mostbookreviewsstartwithaheadingthatincludesallthebasicinformationaboutthebook,like：Title.Author.Placeofpublication,publisher,dateofpublication.Numberofpages.Thereviewusuallybeginswithanintroductionthatletsyourreadersknowwhatthereviewwillsay.Thefirstparagraphusuallyincludestheauthorandtitleagain,soyourreadersdon'thavetolookuptofindthisinformation.Youshouldalsoincludeaverybriefdescriptionofthecontentsofthebook,thepurposeoraudienceforthebook,andyourreactionandevaluation.Thenyoumoveintoasectionofbackgroundinformationthathelpsplacethebookincontextanddiscusseshowtojudgethebook.Next,youshouldgiveasummaryofthemainpoints,quotingandexplainingkeyphrasesfromtheauthor.Finally,yougettotheheartofyourreview—yourevaluationofthebook.Inthissection,youmightdiscusssomeofthefollowingissues：?Howwellthebookhasachieveditsgoal.?Whatpossibilitiesaresuggestedbythebook.?Whatthebookhasleftout.?Howthebookcompareswithothersonthesubject.?Whatpersonalexperiencesyou'vehadrelatedtothesubject.Itisimportanttouselabelstocarefullydistinguishyourviewsfromtheauthor's,sothatyoudon'tconfuseyourreaders.Then,likeotheressays,youcanendwithadirectcommentonthebook,andtietogetherissuesraisedinthereviewinaconclusion.Thereis,ofcourse,nosetform,butageneralruleisthatthefirstone－h(huán)alftotwo－thirdsofthereviewshouldsummarizetheauthor'smainideasandatleastone－thirdshouldevaluatethebook.篇章導讀：本文是一篇說明文。文章就如何寫書評提出了幾點建議。1．Accordingtothetext,thepersonalresponseofabookreviewerrefersto________.A．accurateandanalyticalreadingB．thereviewer'sunderstandingaboutthebackgroundofthebookC．thereviewer'sindicationofwhatthebookisaboutandwhatitmeanstoareaderD．skillsofdescribingwhatisonthepage答案：C細節(jié)理解題。根據第二段第一句“Asareviewer,youbringtogetherthetwopartsofaccurate,analyticalreadingandstrong,personalresponsewhenyouindicatewhatthebookisaboutandwhatitmightmeantoareader.”以及下文的內容可知，書評作者在寫書評時應將分析性閱讀與個人反應結合起來，不僅要指出書的內容，還要指出書對于讀者可能意味著什么。故選C項。2．Whatisthemostimportantpartofabookreview?A．Theheading. B．Theevaluation.C．Theconclusion. D．Theintroduction.答案：B細節(jié)理解題。根據文中的“Finally,yougettotheheartofyourreview—yourevaluationofthebook.”可知，最重要的部分就是評論部分。故選B項。3．Readerswillgetpuzzledif________.A．thereisnoheadinginabookreviewB．thebookreviewisnotcomplexenoughC．thereviewer'spointofviewismixedwiththeauthor'sD．therearesomedifferentissueslistedinthebookreview答案：C細節(jié)理解題。根據倒數第三段內容可知，要把自己的觀點和作者的觀點區(qū)分開來，否則會讓讀者感到困惑。故選C項。4．Whatdoesthetextmainlytellus?A．Stepstoreadabook.B．Tipsforwritingabookreview.C．Thewaytodevelopyouridea.D．Thingsnottobeavoidedinabookreview.答案：B主旨大意題。全文主要是針對如何寫書評提出了幾點建議，故選B項。BTheworldmovessoquicklynowadays.Withsomanydailyresponsibilities,someofuscanhardlykeepourheadsabovewater.Shouldwemaketimeforstudyingorappreciatingthearts?Manypeoplewouldsaytheartsarenice,butnotnecessary.Inschool,studentsshouldfocusonlanguages,mathandscience.Painting,dramaandmusicarefrills.Aftergraduation,listeningtoMozartwon'tleadyoutoabetter－payingjob.Intruth,spendingtimelearningtoappreciatetheartsmaybemoreworthwhilethanyouthink.ArecentBritishstudyexaminedthesalariesandjobsofpeoplewhospenttimeenjoyingtheartswhengrowingup.Theresearchersfoundthosewhoenjoyedtheartsfromanearlyagehadbetterjobsandhighersalariesthanthosewhodidn't.What'sthelink?Howcouldvisitingamuseum,enjoyingasymphony,orhoningpaintingskillsleadtocareersuccess?Itturnsoutthattheartshelpusdevelopmanyusefulskills.Otherstudieshavefoundstudentsstudyingtheartsexercisetheirreasoningability.Thisskillhelpswithproblem－solving.Creativeandcritical－thinkingabilitiesarealsodevelopedthroughartstudy.Moreover,thosewhoenjoytheartshavemoremotivationtoachieve.Studentswhopracticeanartexperiencetherewardsthatcomefrompersistenceandgoal－setting.Thesebenefitsalsoextendtothosewhomaketimetoappreciatetheartsbeyondtheirschoolyears.Thebestkindofartstirsourimaginationandmakesusthink.Paintingsaren'tjustprettypictures.Theytellstoriesaboutthelivesofthesubjectsorabouttheexperienceofthepainter.SeeMichelangelo'sart,andyou'lltastethepowerofhisfaith.LookattheworldfromPicasso'spointofview,andyouseeeverydaylifeinnewways.Thosewhoappreciatetheartsalsogainabroaderperspectiveontheworld.Theartsrevealandexplaintheworldbeyondourownpersonalknowledgewhichcanhelpusbettercommunicateandcooperatewithotherpeople.Ifyouwanttobetteryourself,goandenjoythearts.Checkoutanartgalleryoramuseum.Takeinaplay.Youwon'tregretitanditwilldoyoumoregoodthanyoucanimagine.篇章導讀：本文是一篇議論文。人們普遍認為學校教育應重文化成績而輕藝術，然而本文通過列舉事實證據論證了藝術能帶給我們諸多好處，且對我們將來事業(yè)的成功產生積極的影響。5．Theunderlinedword“frills”inParagraph1probablymeans“________”．A．decorations B．necessitiesC．fillings D．possessions答案：A詞義猜測題。根據第一段第四句“Manypeoplewouldsaytheartsarenice,butnotnecessary.”可知，藝術并非必需品，只是裝飾而已，故A項正確。6．ThebenefitsofenjoyingartsareallofthefollowingEXCEPT________.A．communicatingskillsB．highpositionsC．problem－solvingabilitiesD．creationandimagination答案：B細節(jié)理解題。根據第四段第二、三句“Thisskillhelpswithproblem－solving.Creativeandcritical－thinkingabilitiesarealsodevelopedthroughartstudy.”及第七句“Thebestkindofartstirsourimaginationandmakesusthink.”以及本段最后一句“...whichcanhelpusbettercommunicateandcooperatewithotherpeople”可知，A、C、D三項均為欣賞藝術的好處；第二段中提到欣賞藝術能使人擁有好的工作和高薪，但并未提及高的地位，故選B項。7．Howisthepassagedeveloped?A．Byprovidingexamples.B．Byanalyzingcauses.C．Bylistingthefacts.D．Bycomparingthefacts.答案：C推理判斷題。通讀全文可知，文章在論述藝術鑒賞的好處時列舉了大量的事實證據，故C項最為恰當。8．Whatistheauthor'sattitudetowardartappreciation?A．Doubtful. B．Opposed.C．Critical. D．Supportive.答案：D推理判斷題。由第四段提及的欣賞藝術的眾多好處，以及末段“Ifyouwanttobetteryourself,goandenjoythearts.”及“Youwon'tregretitanditwilldoyoumoregoodthanyoucanimagine.”可推測出作者對藝術鑒賞持支持態(tài)度，故選D項。Ⅲ.短文改錯IhavemetmanyteacherssinceIbeginmyschooling.Ofallmyteachers,MrsGreenistheonewhoimpressesmemost.Thoughsheis50,shelooksveryyoungatherage.Comparingwithotherteachers,MrsGreenpaysmoreattentiontoherwayofteaching.Shetriesvariouswaystomakeherclasslivelyandinterestingly.Inheropinion,wewillnotonlyknow“what”butalsounderstand“why”.Soinsteadofgivingusanswerimmediately,sheencouragesustothinkcarefullyeverytimewhensheputsforwardquestions.Withherhelp,wehavelearnedhowtoanalyzeandsettledproblems.Whattheamazingworldof“why”sheleadsus!Sheissuchalearnedpersonthatwealladmirehimverymuch.答案：IhavemetmanyteacherssinceIeq\o(begin,\s\do14(①began))myschooling.Ofallmyteachers,MrsGreenistheonewhoimpressesmemost.Thoughsheis50,shelooksveryyoungeq\o(at,\s\do14(②for))herage.eq\o(Comparin
