阅读下面短文,掌握其大意,然后从各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
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.
  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       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.

解析试题分析:
作者认为,阅读小说与写作一样,是一个思考的过程、一个再创作的过程。我们会根据自己的现实生活经历增补小说中没有的信息,解读小说人物言行的前因后果。最后作者建议人们阅读时要了解自己的感受,这样可以让自己成为一个更好的读者,更多地发现书籍中真正的魅力。
【小题1】上文中有similar,or提示选择与similar意义相反的词different. 故D项正确。A. possible:可能的;B. easy: 容易的; C. new: 新的。A,B,C三项不合题意。
【小题2】be told为被动语态,因而后面接的不是宾语从句而是方式状语从句。排除A,B, C三项。句子意思是:有些故事写得跟真的一样。as if / though: 似乎、好像。故D项正确。
【小题3】正常社会中真实的人们做真实的事情。normal指“符合常态或一般的标准”即“形态正常”。A. usual: 指时间上的“惯常性”。C. certain: 某个;确定的;D. common指“常见性”。故B项正确。
【小题4】上文说到,有些故事写的就是一些与我们一样的人与我们做着同样的事。此处说,有些故事则是非现实的。realistic: 现实的。故A项正确。B. reasonable: 合理的;C. moral: 道德的;D. instructive: 有指导意义的。均不合题意。
【小题5】A. difficult:困难的;B. impossible: 不可能的;C. important: 重要的;D. necessary: 必须的、必要的。这些故事中的人和动物与我们不同,他们能做我们做不到的事。故B项正确。
【小题6】A. thinkable: 可想象的;B. designed: 设计好的; C. imagined: 想象出来的;D. planned: 计划好的。虽然故事有现实和非现实之分,但都是“虚构”的。故C项正确。
【小题7】do用来加强语气。故A项正确。
【小题8】即使阅读《哈利波特》这样的非现实主义小说,我们似乎也能读到现实世界的东西。而哈利波特即使在学习魔术时,他对自己现实生活的了解也多于他对“魔术”的了解。A. lesson: 课、课文。B. dream: 梦想;C. experience: 经验; D. magic: 魔术。故D项正确。
【小题9】A. work: 工作; B. think: 思考; C. live: 生活、生存; D. understand: 理解。文章第三段 Both realism and fantasy(幻想) use the imagination and the “magic” of reading and writing to make us think. 一句提示此处填thinking. 故B项正确。
【小题10】A. knowledge: 知识;B. skill: 技能;C. word: 字词;D. grammar: 语法。用我们的知识(真实存在的或现有的)和想象(另一种真实)使得文字在我们的脑海中鲜活起来。故A项正确。
【小题11】A. make: 制造; B. get: 得到; C. use: 使用; D. have: 拥有。无论现实主义的还是非现实主义的作品,都“运用”想象及阅读和写作的魅力让读者进行思考。故选择C项。
【小题12】阅读现实主义作品时,虽然我们明知小说人物不是真实存在的,我们还是会下意识地认为他们是和我们一样的人。因形容词realistic后置,要求选择something. 故B项正确。
【小题13】我们“知道”我们是真实的存在。这个简单的事实无需了解(learn)也无需发现(find)。故选择C项。
【小题14】我们是真实的,而小说人物“不是”。选择B项。
【小题15】A. dangerous: 危险的; B. serious: 严厉的、认真的。 C. strange:奇怪的; D. terrible: 可怕的。虽然我们明知小说人物不是真实存在的,我们还是会下意识地认为他们是和我们一样的人。这听起来很“奇怪”,但情况就是这样的。故C项正确。
【小题16】A. talk: 交谈;B. learn: 学习; C. read: 阅读;D. think: 思考。阅读过程中,我们会填补小说中没有的信息,“思考”小说人物所作所为的前因后果。故D项正确。
【小题17】A. tell: 告诉;B. pretend: 假装;C. promise: 承诺; D. guess:猜测。虽然我们明知我们读的东西是虚构的,但我们还是“假定”我们读到的与现实生活是一样的。于是我们在阅读的同时也是在“帮着”作者创作,增补信息、思考因果。选择B项
【小题18】A. mind: 脑海;B. life: 生活;C. world: 世界; D. society: 社会。多数人阅读时对自己大脑中的上述活动是无意识的。A项正确。
【小题19】A. heart: 心脏; B. time: 时间; C. money: 金钱; D. ourselves: 我们自己。lose oneself in sth. 沉湎于……之中。故D项正确。
【小题20】了解自己“阅读时”的感受,有助于我们成为更好的读者。选择C项。
考点:议论文。

The survey about childhood in the Third World shows that the struggle for survival is long and hard. But in the rich world, children can       from a different kind of poverty — of the spirit.   , one Western country alone now sees 14, 000 attempted suicides ( 自杀 ) every year by children under 15, and one child      five needs psychiatric (心理上的) advice.
There are many good things about       in the Third World. Take the close and constant relation between children and their parents, relatives and neighbors for example. In the West, the very nature of work puts distance between      and children. But in most Third World villages mother and father do not go miles away each day to work in offices.   , the child sees mother and father, relations and neighbors working      and often shares in that work..
A child       in this way learns his or her role through joining in the community's       :helping to dig or build, look after animals or babies -- rather than      playing with water and sand in kindergarten, keeping pets      playing with dolls.
These children may grow up with a less oppressive sense of space and time than the      children. Their sense of days and time has a lot to do with the change of seasons and positions of the sun or the moon in the sky. Children in the rich world,         , are provided with a watch as one of the      signs of growing up, so that they can      along with their parents about being late for school times, meal times, bed times, the times of TV shows …
Third World children do not usually      to stay indoors, still less in high-rise apartments. Instead of dangerous roads, "keep off the grass" signs and "don't speak to strangers", there is often a sense of        to study and play. Parents can see their children outside rather than observe them      from ten floors up.
     , twelve million children under five still die every year through hunger and disease. But childhood in the Third World is not all

Our Future Homes
 What kinds of homes will we live         the future? Nobody can be sure,         architects, and scientists are         new ideas now.
  Some architects are thinking about          whole cities under huge glass domes. Of course, complicated heating and        systems will be necessary to control the climate in the domes.        , there will never be any rain      snow, and the temperature will be always        .
  Perhaps everyone will live in vertical(立体的)       . High rises are so large that they can contain all the necessities of life. Since vertical cities will use        land than horizontal cities, and provide homes for more people, they will be       for small countries that have     populations.
Another idea that will be helpful to        countries (and island countries) is
the      city. Monaco has already built homes, stores, and offices         the water of the Mediterranean Sea. And a Japanese       has made a plan for constructing buildings on bridges over Tokyo Bay.
  There are some people who think we will go back to living in       . But the caves of the future will be quite      the caves of the Stone Age. Computers will control light and climate. Farms and parks will be on the land      the cave city. When people want to go to the country or to a park, a short ride in       will take them there.

It was the summer of my freshman year of college. Instead of heading home for a nice long   1 , my friends and I had decided to   2  and take some extra courses. We had   3  the top floor of an old house to live in. My bed was   4   into a stuffy (愁闷的)former laundry room and each night was a new   5  in humidity. Still, it felt   6  to be in my own place for the first time. After the first few weeks,   7  , the thrill faded and   8  set in. I found myself sitting alone each night   9  my home and my parents.
My summer holidays had always been a   10  time. I spent hours playing basketball and swimming. I talked to my Mom while she tended her flowers. I   11  helping my Dad drag firewood for the winter. And every night I sat at a dinner table full of delicious food   12  with love while my family filled the room with the sound of sweet   13 . Now I found myself missing them   14  than ever.
Finally when my   15  were at their lowest, I heard a   16  at the door. I opened it and was   17  to see my parents standing there with big smiles to fill my   18  heart and a box full of food to feed my hungry friends. We spent the afternoon eating   19  , and just being together. It felt so good, and I felt so loved.
Victor Hugo wrote that, “The supreme happiness of life is the   20  that one is loved; loved for oneself, or better yet, loved despite oneself.” It was that gift of happiness that my parents gave me that afternoon and every day of my life.

My friend Tom came across an accident when driving in darkness. His legs were so hurt that he couldn’t move. What was           was that he found himself unable to ask for help—his mobile phone went out of       as a result of exhausted battery. Nothing could be done but          in the cold wilderness. It was 8 hours later that day broke and then the       of the rescue team.
It is almost          that he could stand the horror in the darkness for so long. Even more surprising was his       . “First of all I checked my   conditions and found myself not in danger. As there was no        to call for help, I leaned(斜靠)back in my seat trying my best to keep the wound from       . In this way I dozed(打盹)off.”
His story put an end to my regret for the         of an exploration that happened last year. A group of young men          to explore a mountain cave and got lost.         to find a way out in the dark cave they were frightened and ran anxiously without a sense of        . Finally, they fell dead in fear and exhaustion. According to the       team that found them, the place where they got lost was only about 10 meters away from the       of the cave. If they stayed on the spot when they lost their way and tried to      themselves, they would probably have sensed a faint light glowing(发出) not far away.
Don’t you think that you can compare it with       itself? When you meet with difficulties in life, you are lost in darkness. Focus that it’s unclear to you yet and you needn’t put up struggle     . It seems to be a negative attitude,     a person who can do so must have foresight as well as a great        in the first place.
