M: Heather learned how to surf from her father. It was just like riding a motorcycle in California. At first, she was scared. But by the end of her first day, she could already stand up on her board, and she told all her friends that night that she would be a great surfer. Half a year later, she bought her own board from a website. Almost every weekend morning, she drove from her house in Los Angeles to San Diego and hit the beach. Heather went surfing every minute she was free. But one afternoon, she noticed a big shark coming near her. It was getting closer and closer to her. It was coming straight at her. She tried to swim out of its way, but it came at her again. Heather knew she had only one advantage: her surfboard. She threw it as hard as she could in the direction of the shark. Amazingly, it hit the shark in the nose, and it left her alone! Heather smiled. Surfing had saved her life!

语法填空答案
答案：56.the 57.yourself 58.reasons 59.importance 60.to read 61.what 62.in 63.are borrowed 64.faster 65.Setting
解析：①考查冠词。句意:我想我应该多读些书，越多越好。the more... the better...是固定结构,表示"越多越好"。故填the。
②考查反身代词。句意:在你开始阅读之前，问问你自己为什么要读这本书。逗号后面的句子是一个祈使句。祈使句的主语是第二人称。因此作为ask的宾语, you应使用反身代词。故填yourself.
③考查名词复数。句意:大多数人读书有两个主要原因，即获得阅读的快乐和知识。reason是一个可数名词， 它的前面有数字two修饰，因此应使用复数形式。故填reasons。
④考查名词。句意:提醒自己为什么阅读这本书是重要的。介词of后面应该使用名词来作宾语。great是形容词，它修饰名词作定语，"be of+名词+to"是一个固定结构，意为"……有(重要性、意义、帮助、好处等) "。故填importance。
⑤考查不定式。句意:你会决定更快地读完这本书。decide to do是固定短语,意为"决定做某事"。故填to read。
⑥考查宾语从句。句意:不管你在读什么,受你读的东西是很重要的。动词enjoy后面是一个宾语从句。 宾语从句中缺宾语应使用连接代词，指的是阅读的东西，应使用what。故填what。
⑦考查介词。句意:你的朋友可能会告诉你他们感兴趣的书,但那些书可能不是你喜欢的。分析句子结构可知，books后面是一个定语从句。 先行词books在从句中作宾语，这里be interested in是一个固定短语， 它缺少了介词。故填in。
⑧考查时态和语态。句意:从图书馆借来的书比我买的书读得快。分析句子结构可知books后面是一个定语从句。 先行词在从句中作主语，books 与borrow之间为被动关系，根据上下文可知，从句的时态使用一般现在时，主语books为复数。 故填are borrowed。
⑨考查副词的比较级。句意:从图书馆借来的书比我买的书读得快。由than可知， 此处应使用比较级。故填faster。
⑩考查动名词。句意:设定一个阅读目标可以帮助你计算出一周甚至一天需要阅读多少。作句子的主语应用动名词形式，首字母大写。故填Setting。

When we’re in the early months or years of learning another language, it can be hard to find good novels to read that can help us learn. But there are some books in English that experts think might be just right for beginners. Here are four of them.

Animal Farm by George Orwell
This book was published in 1945 in America. Although it’s now quite old, it’s also quite short, and was written in a. very clear way. Orwell said writers shouldn’t use unnecessary words, and his story of talking animals taking over a farm is easy to follow.
No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency by Alexander McCall Smith
This is the name of the first book in a series of detective (侦探) stories. First came out in 1998, the series is recommended by the International language school EF Education, which says that funny characters, interesting stories and simple language make these books great for learners. The stories take place in Botswana, and there are now more than 20 books in the series.
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon
Donaghy also recommends this popular novel published in 2003. Although it’s not really for children, it’s told from the point of view of a young boy, and this means the language is easy to understand. In the book, the boy, named Christopher, tries to find out what happened to his neighbor’s dog.

It was hard not to notice the 8-year-old boy Brooke across the street who stormed in and out of his own house. He did it so often that a neighbor, Chris, wondered what was going on in his life. So Chris asked him.
“He told me that he didn’t have a father,” says Chris, now 58, “and I realized there might be something I could do for him.”
That something was fishing, and Chris’s father taught him how to fish. “Fishing always brought me peace and it taught me how to be patient. When you’re on the water, you can forget about your problems and just appreciate the moment,” Chris said.
One Saturday afternoon on the water led to another, and soon he was teaching other kids in their neighborhood, Lakeland, Florida, how to fix a line, hold a pole, and roll in a big catch. That was 16 years ago.
Since then, Chris has taken groups of kids out almost every weekend to fish. Then, in 2018 he started the nonprofit Take a Kid Fishing Inc. He and a small group of volunteers have introduced more than 2, 500 kids — most without fathers around — to the calming peace found on the water and the excitement of catching a fish.
One of those kids was Jayden, who struggled emotionally when his father died in a car accident in January 2020.
“He was really close to his dad,” says Jayden’s mother, Terra. “And with two younger sisters, he felt he needed to take over the man-of-the-house role. He was trying to be strong for everyone and didn’t show his emotion. I was wondering what to do to help him, and then I learned about Take a Kid Fishing Inc.”
Jayden, now 13, has become a devoted fisherman and credits Chris with helping him mature.
“There’s nothing like feeling that first tug (猛拉) on the line and seeing a kid light up with a smile,” Chris says. “I feel lucky to witness that every weekend.”
28．What can we learn about Brooke from the first paragraph
A．He tended to be restless. B．He had an ambitious mind.
C．He longed to have a father. D．He was interested in fishing.
29．Why did Chris setup Take a Kid Fishing Inc
A．Because he enjoyed the company of children.
B．Because he had to raise some volunteers to help kids.
C．Because he wanted to light up fatherless children’s life.
D．Because he considered teaching children to catch fish fun.
30．What’s the purpose of the author mentioning Jayden
A．To present the benefits of Chris’s act.
B．To show Jayden’s mother’s appreciation.
C．To promote the popularity of fishing together.
D．To make readers donate money to Chris’s organization.
31．What conclusion can be made from Chris’s work
A．Fishing can strengthen family connections.
B．Fathers play an important role in kids’ life.
C．Family kids are the future of a strong nation.
D．Proper and timely guidance makes a mature kid.
