15．Writing a book review is not like writing a fiction，where you have your freedom to express any type of literary mood．Here，you are limited within the scope，which is related only to the book or the literature and nothing else．To write a proper literary review，you should follow some important dos and don'ts，which are discussed here．
Top 3dos
Select a literature of your choice and read it thoroughly．If required，you should read it multiple times，before you really frame up the literary review in your mind．While reading，try to assimilate the thoughts and philosophy of the author behind the book and also to analyze all the characters and events described in the literary piece．Start to pen down your literary analysis only when you have a complete understanding of the book，and not before that．
Prepare your write-up based on your understanding of the book．Since you are reviewing the book，your opinion plays an important role here．If you prefer any particular character or any particular instance from the book，then expose that character or the situation in your review，to give it more importance．Also determine your preference with supporting logic．Ultimately it is your understanding of the book，and it can differ from others'viewpoint．But you should stick to your opinion．
Follow a proper format to construct your book review．It should have a proper introduction and a conclusion，other than the usual subject body．Distribute the subject body in chapters and paragraphs，to give a nice，structured look．Also，add a list of reference material at the end of the book．A structured material always carries a good impression and also，it helps the reader to go through the article at ease．

Book reviews are not exactly meant for writing a summary on the books．The objective of writing a book review is to arouse the curiosity in the mind of the readers．If someone mentions everything in the summary then the actual intention is lost．
As mentioned earlier，one should not cross your limit to write a literary review．Do not bring up unnecessary topics to increase the length of the write-up，which is not at all related to the book．The readers want to learn about the book and not something irrelevant．Also，a smart and crisp writing helps to create a positive impression．
You can go through reference books or articles on your subject，before you start preparing your article．But that should be completely with the intention of getting help in your understanding of the book．These reference items will help to strengthen your grip on the subject．But，you should never copy a single line of text from any other document or write-up．Plagiarism（剽竊），in any form，is a punishable offence by law．It will also destroy your reputation and close all the future avenues in this field．

分析 本文屬于說明文閱讀，作者通過這篇文章主要向我們描述了如何寫書評(píng)，要仔細(xì)閱讀，表達(dá)自己的意見，堅(jiān)持自己的觀點(diǎn)以及按照正確的格式來構(gòu)建你的書評(píng)；不要把摘要寫到文學(xué)評(píng)論中，不要用不必要的話題來增加文章的長度，可以使用有關(guān)主題的參考書或文章，但不要剽竊．
解答 70．C．詞義猜測題．文中的assimilate是與thoughts和philosophy搭配，同時(shí)句中與之并列的動(dòng)詞是analyze，表明這里的意思是要深入理解作者的想法并加以分析，四個(gè)選項(xiàng)的意思分別是"激勵(lì)"、"使豐富/肥沃"、"消化/理解"、"提高/加強(qiáng)"，故選C．
71．D．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)文章第五段"The objective of writing a book review is to arouse the curiosity in the mind of the readers．"可知寫一本書的目的是喚起讀者心中的好奇心，具有迷惑性的是C，C選項(xiàng)關(guān)鍵錯(cuò)在"on irrelevant topics；故選D．
72．B．推理判斷題．根據(jù)文章第二段"Start to pen down your literary analysis only when you have a complete understanding of the book，and not before that．"可知文中建議在完全理解書的內(nèi)容后再寫分析，不要提前寫，當(dāng)然也不是邊看邊寫，所以B錯(cuò)誤．故選B．
73．A．推理判斷題．本題是要找出不屬于"三不要"的建議．其實(shí)這題不用看原文只看選項(xiàng)就能鎖定答案，因?yàn)锽CD選項(xiàng)講的都是不好的方式，只有A選項(xiàng)講的是好的方式，換句話說A選項(xiàng)是屬于建議大家寫讀后感是要做的事，故選A．
點(diǎn)評(píng) 考察學(xué)生的細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力，做細(xì)節(jié)理解題時(shí)一定要找到文章中的原句，和題干進(jìn)行比較，再做出正確的選擇．在做推理判斷題不要以個(gè)人的主觀想象代替文章的事實(shí)，要根據(jù)文章事實(shí)進(jìn)行合乎邏輯的推理判斷．
