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】

试题分析：读书和写作一样,既可以是对现实世界的描绘,也可以是对非现实世界的描绘,但两者都离不开想象。

1.上文中有similar相似，or提醒我们应选与similar意义相反的词different

2.told用在被动语态中，因而后面不可跟宾语从句，应该是方式状语从句。句子意思是：有些故事讲起来似乎就是真的。

3.usual习惯性，符合规章制度的或一贯如此的；common的意思：常见的，普通的，不足为奇的，有时可引申为“平凡”的意思；normal 正常的，正规的，标准的生活在正常世界的现实的人做实际的事。

4.换句话说，那些故事就是有关象我们这样的人做我们所做的事。有些故事则是虚构的。

5.这些故事中的人和动物与我们不同，他们能做对我们来说是不可能的事。

6.甚至现实的作品也只是想象出来的（不是可以思考的，也不是设计出来的，更不是计划好的）

7.语法分析。本句使用do不是强调。我们确实似乎了解。

8.当他研究魔术时，他对自己现实生活的了解也比对魔术的了解要多

9.读书象写作一样，是一种行为，是一种思考的方法

10.用我们的知识（现实的知识）和想象（不同方式体现的现实）使得言语在我们的脑海中具有生命力。

11.现实和幻想用读书和写作的想象力和魅力使我们去思考

12.当我们读到某些现实的东西时，我们就不得不去想象我们所读到的有关的人就象我们一样

13.动词辨析。A发现B学会C知道D希望；即使我们知道我们是真的，而这些故事不是。

14.即使我们知道我们是现实的而他们是虚构的（则不是现实的）

15.形容词辨析。A危险B认真C奇怪D可怕的；这听起来很奇怪。

16.我们读书的时候，可以把丢失的信息补充起来而且会思考一个人所做事情的影响和起因

17.我们只有通过自称我们所读到的东西就象真正的生活一样来给作家一些帮助。某种意义上讲我们也在写作。

18.名词辨析。A思维B生活C世界D社会；没有思考我们脑子中在想什么

19.固定搭配。Lose oneself in…沉浸于…之中；可以转换成be lost in…；本句是指埋头于一则精彩的故事中。

20.我们读书时如果知道我们的感受如何的话，那将有助于我们成为更好的读者
