Question

【題目】第二節(jié)閱讀填空

Reading books can be a great way to pick up new vocabulary, see grammar in action and develop your understanding of a language. 【1】

【2】Avoid the classics, for they often use very old English words that are difficult to understand. Children's books are a great place to start. Dr. Seuss's books are sure to make you laugh. Dr. Seuss writes his books in rhyme and they are all very funny. Starting with something like this means you are more likely to finish the book and want to read more.

For more advanced learners, you could try the Hobbit by J.R.R.Tolkien. 【3】 If you like reading about historical events, Anne Holm ' I am David is a good read.

If you're not quite ready to read a full book, why not try Roald Dahl's Revolting Rhymes? 【4】 Or, try a very short book like one from Roger Hargeaves's Mr. Men and Little Miss series. Although they are intended for young children, they are a good way to pick up some more basic vocabulary.

My final piece of advice would be to read something that interests you. Look at the short summary of the book on the back cover and see if it looks like something that you would enjoy. Think about the type that is in your own language and find one of that type in English. 【5】

A. For beginners, I would recommend starting with something short and simple.

B. The key to success is choosing the right book for you.

C. The book isn't too long and it may be easier to follow if you've seen the film.

D. This way, you're more likely to enjoy reading, rather than see it as a headache.

E. This book contains lots of short stories, based on fairy tales, all written in rhyme.

【解析】

閱讀對(duì)于學(xué)習(xí)新詞匯、語(yǔ)法和發(fā)展語(yǔ)言理解能力是非常有幫助的，那么如何選擇適合自己的書進(jìn)行閱讀呢？這篇短文中作者給我們提了一些建議。

【1】上句話提到“讀書是學(xué)習(xí)新詞匯、學(xué)習(xí)語(yǔ)法和發(fā)展語(yǔ)言理解能力的好方法”，先點(diǎn)明了閱讀的重要性。下文則主要講述如何選擇合適的書閱讀，因此這里應(yīng)填寫點(diǎn)明文章主旨的句子，故B選項(xiàng)合適，意為“成功的關(guān)鍵是為你選擇適當(dāng)?shù)臅�”�?/span>

【2】下句話Avoid the classics, for they often use very old English words that are difficult to understand.說(shuō)的是“避免選擇古典的書籍，因?yàn)槔锩娴脑~匯難以理解”，所以應(yīng)選擇簡(jiǎn)單易懂的，故應(yīng)選A，“對(duì)于初學(xué)者，我推薦先從一些簡(jiǎn)短的開始”。

【3】上句話作者給高級(jí)的學(xué)習(xí)者推薦了《霍比特人》這本書，這也是一部電影，故承接上文，這里應(yīng)解釋推薦這本書的理由，故C選項(xiàng)合適，意為“這本書不太長(zhǎng)，如果你看過(guò)這部電影，可能會(huì)更容易理解”。

【4】根據(jù)上句話If you're not quite ready to read a full book, why not try Roald Dahl's Revolting Rhymes?，對(duì)于不想讀完整的書籍的人，作者推薦了Roald Dahl的押韻詩(shī)，E選項(xiàng)中all written in rhyme呼應(yīng)了句中的Rhymes，故應(yīng)選E。

【5】根據(jù)空前的內(nèi)容可知，作者的最后一個(gè)建議是讀一些自己感興趣的書，這樣讀起來(lái)就不會(huì)頭痛，可以享受閱讀，故D選項(xiàng)符合文意。
