Question

When we read books we seem to enter a new world. This new world can be similar to the one we are living in, or it can be very      . Some stories are told       they were true. Real people who live in a       world do real things; in other words, the stories are about people just like us doing what we do. Other stories, such as the Harry Potter books, are not       . They are characters and creatures that are very different from us and do things that would be       for us.

But there is more to books and writing than this. If we think about it, even realistic writing is only      . How can we tell the difference between what is real and what is not real? For example, when we read about Harry Potter, we       seem to learn something about the real world. And when Harry studies magic at Hogwarts, he also learns more about his real life than      . Reading, like writing, is an action. It is a way of      . When we read or write something, we do much more than simple look at words on a page. We use our       -- which is real-- and our imagination-- which is real in a different way --- to make the words come to life in our minds. www.zxxk.com

　　Both realism and fantasy(幻想)       the imagination and the “magic” of reading and writing to make us think. When we read       realistic, we have to imagine that the people we are reading about are just like us, even though we       that we are real and they are     . It sounds       , but it works. When we read, we fill in missing information and     about the causes and effects of what a character does. We help the writer by   52   that what we read is like real life. In a way, we are writing the book, too.

Most of us probably don’t think about what is going on in our       when we are reading. We pick up a book and lose       in a good story, eager to find out what will happen next. Knowing how we feel       we read can help us become better readers, and it will help us discover more about the real magic of books.

【解析】

試題分析：讀書和寫作一樣,既可以是對現實世界的描繪,也可以是對非現實世界的描繪,但兩者都離不開想象。

1.上文中有similar相似，or提醒我們應選與similar意義相反的詞different

2.told用在被動語態中，因而后面不可跟賓語從句，應該是方式狀語從句。句子意思是：有些故事講起來似乎就是真的。

3.usual習慣性，符合規章制度的或一貫如此的；common的意思：常見的，普通的，不足為奇的，有時可引申為“平凡”的意思；normal 正常的，正規的，標準的生活在正常世界的現實的人做實際的事。

4.換句話說，那些故事就是有關象我們這樣的人做我們所做的事。有些故事則是虛構的。

5.這些故事中的人和動物與我們不同，他們能做對我們來說是不可能的事。

6.甚至現實的作品也只是想象出來的（不是可以思考的，也不是設計出來的，更不是計劃好的）

7.語法分析。本句使用do不是強調。我們確實似乎了解。

8.當他研究魔術時，他對自己現實生活的了解也比對魔術的了解要多

9.讀書象寫作一樣，是一種行為，是一種思考的方法

10.用我們的知識（現實的知識）和想象（不同方式體現的現實）使得言語在我們的腦海中具有生命力。

11.現實和幻想用讀書和寫作的想象力和魅力使我們去思考

12.當我們讀到某些現實的東西時，我們就不得不去想象我們所讀到的有關的人就象我們一樣

13.動詞辨析。A發現B學會C知道D希望；即使我們知道我們是真的，而這些故事不是。

14.即使我們知道我們是現實的而他們是虛構的（則不是現實的）

15.形容詞辨析。A危險B認真C奇怪D可怕的；這聽起來很奇怪。

16.我們讀書的時候，可以把丟失的信息補充起來而且會思考一個人所做事情的影響和起因

17.我們只有通過自稱我們所讀到的東西就象真正的生活一樣來給作家一些幫助。某種意義上講我們也在寫作。

18.名詞辨析。A思維B生活C世界D社會；沒有思考我們腦子中在想什么

19.固定搭配。Lose oneself in…沉浸于…之中；可以轉換成be lost in…；本句是指埋頭于一則精彩的故事中。

20.我們讀書時如果知道我們的感受如何的話，那將有助于我們成為更好的讀者
