Module 2 Fantasy Literature
Philip Pullman has expressed delightedly that his work, His Dark Materials, is made into a drama on BBC One, a famous television channel in the United Kingdom.“It's been a constant source of pleasure to me to see this story adapted for different forms，” Pullman said. “It's been a radio play, a stage play, a film — and now comes this version (版本) for television.”
His fantasy novels have already been adapted for stage, radio and cinema. The 2006 film The Golden Compass is based on the first novel. Actor Daniel Craig and actress Nicole Kidman are the stars of the film.
His Dark Materials has been published in more than 40 languages and has sold nearly 17.5 million copies worldwide. The story centres on Lyra, a girl who lives at an Oxford college and who tries her best to understand a mysterious phenomenon called Dust. In the second book she is joined on her journey by Will, a boy who has a knife that can cut windows between two worlds.
The TV adaptation will be shot in Wales and is produced by Bad Wolf — a production company founded by former BBC executives (执行总监) Jane Tranter and Julie Gardner — and New Line Cinema, which is making its first move into TV production. New Line also produced The Golden Compass film, which featured Dakota Blue Richards as Lyra.
“Ever since they were first published, these books have been a huge influence on so much of my thinking and imagination and it is very inspiring to be now working on them for television adaptation，” said Tranter. “The drama series is considered as the best form to tell the story and clearly show the worlds of Lyra and Will.”

The Cat That Vanished①
Will was stupefied② with exhaustion③， and he might have gone④ on to the north, or he might have laid⑤ his head on the grass under one of those trees and slept; but as he stood trying to clear⑥ his head⑦， he saw a cat.
She was a tabby⑧， like Moxie. She padded⑨ out of a garden on the Oxford side of the road, where Will was standing⑩. Will put down? his shopping bag and held out? his hand, and the cat came up to? rub? her head against? his knuckles?， just as Moxie did. Of course, every cat behaved? like that, but all the same Will felt such a longing? to turn for home that? tears scalded? his eyes.

消失的猫
[第1～2段译文]
威尔累得脑子都木了，他本可以继续向北走，也有可能在某棵树下头枕草地昏昏睡去；但是，正当他站在那儿，尽力让头脑清醒些的时候，他看见了一只猫。
那是一只母斑猫，就像(威尔家的)莫克西一样。它轻轻地走出靠着牛津一侧街道上的一个花园，威尔正站在街边。威尔放下购物袋，伸出手，那只猫跑过来用头在他的指关节上磨蹭，正如莫克西所做的那样。当然，所有的猫都是那样的。尽管如此，威尔还是渴望回家，以至于他热泪盈眶。
Eventually this cat turned away. This was night, and there was a territory to patrol， there were mice to hunt. She padded across the road and towards the bushes just beyond the hornbeam trees, and there she stopped.
Will, still watching， saw the cat behave curiously.
She reached out a paw to pat something in the air in front of her, something quite invisible to Will. Then she leapt backwards， back arched and fur on end， tail held out stiffly. Will knew cat?behaviour. He watched more alertly as the cat approached the spot again, just an empty patch of grass between the hornbeams and the bushes of a garden hedge， and patted the air once more.

最终，这只猫转身跑开了。正值夜晚，它还要巡视自己的领地，捕捉老鼠。它轻轻地穿过马路，朝着角树林另一边的灌木丛走去，然后在那儿停了下来。
威尔继续盯着它，看到猫行为怪异。
它伸出爪子去拍打它面前空气中的某种东西，某种威尔完全看不见的东西。然后它向后一跃，脊背拱起，毛发竖立，尾巴僵直地伸着。威尔了解猫的习性。他更加警觉地看着，只见那只猫再次靠近那个地方——角树与花园树篱的灌木丛之间的一块空草地，又拍打了一下那里的空气。
Again she leapt back, but less far and with less alarm this time. After another few seconds of sniffing， touching, whisker?twitching， curiosity overcame wariness.
The cat stepped forward, and vanished.
Will blinked. Then he stood still， close to the trunk of the nearest tree, as a truck came round the circle and swept its lights over him. When it had gone past he crossed the road, keeping his eyes on the spot where the cat had been investigating. It wasn't easy, because there was nothing to fix on， but when he came to the place and cast about to look closely, he saw it.

[第6～8段译文]
它再次向后一跃，但这次跳得没有那么远，也没有那么害怕了。又是几秒钟的嗅来嗅去、爪子触碰、胡须抽动，终于好奇心战胜了警惕性。
那只猫向前一迈，然后就消失了。
威尔眨了眨眼睛。然后他站着不动，紧靠离他最近的一棵树的树干，这时一辆卡车转弯驶过来，车灯照到他的身上。卡车开过去后，他穿过马路，眼睛盯着那只猫一直在打量的地方。这并不容易，因为他无法把目光集中在某件东西上。但是当他靠近那个地方并仔细观察时，他看到了它。
At least， he saw it from some angles. It looked as if someone had cut a patch out of the air， about two metres from the edge of the road, a patch roughly square in shape and less than a metre across. If you were level with the patch so that it was edge?on， it was nearly invisible, and it was completely invisible from behind. You could only see it from the side nearest the road, and you couldn't see it easily even from there, because all you could see through it was exactly the same kind of thing that lay in front of it on this side： a patch of grass lit by a street light.
But Will knew without the slightest doubt that that patch of grass on the other side was in a different world.
He couldn't possibly have said why. He knew it at once, as strongly as he knew that fire burned and kindness was good. He was looking at something profoundly alien.
at least至少 at most至多
It looked as if ...看上去似乎……
edge/ed?/n.边，边缘
roughly/'r?flI/adv.大概地，粗略地
square/skwe?/adj.正方形的
shape/?eIp/n.形状， in shape在形状上
level/'levl/adj.同高度的
so that it was edge?on是结果状语从句。
you could see through it是定语从句，修饰不定代词all，省略关系词that。
that引导定语从句，修饰the same kind of thing。
过去分词短语作定语，修饰a patch of grass。
without the slightest doubt“毫不怀疑地”，其后的that引导同位语从句。
as ...as ...“像……一样……”，引导比较状语从句。
profoundly/pr?'fa?ndlI/adv.深深地，极度地
alien/'eIlI?n/adj.完全陌生的
[第9～11段译文]
至少，他从某些角度看到了。那儿看上去就像有人在距离路边大约两米的地方将空间切开了一块，它大体呈方形，边长不到一米。如果你与那块空间处在同等高度，从侧面看你几乎看不到它，从后面则完全看不见它。只有从最靠近马路的一边才能看到它，但也很难看清楚，因为透过它，你所看到的一切与这一边的完全相同：被一盏街灯照亮的一片草地。
但是威尔深信不疑，另一边的那块草地在一个不同的世界里。
他不可能说得出所以然来。他只是马上就知道了，就好像他知道火会燃烧、善意是美好的一样。他所注视着的是某种完全陌生的东西。
And for that reason alone, it enticed him to stoop and look further. What he saw made his head swim and his heart thump harder, but he didn't hesitate： he pushed his shopping bag through， and then scrambled through himself, through the hole in the fabric of this world and into another.
He found himself standing under a row of trees. But not hornbeam trees: these were tall palms， and they were growing, like the trees in Oxford, in a line along the grass. But this was the centre of a broad boulevard， and at the side of the boulevard was a line of cafés and small shops, all brightly lit, all open, and all utterly silent and empty beneath a sky thick with stars. The hot night was laden with the scent of flowers and with the salt smell of the sea.
entice/In'taIs/v.吸引，诱使
stoop/stu?p/v.俯身，弯腰
swim/swIm/v.眩晕，头昏眼花
thump/θ?mp/v.(由于生气、恐惧或兴奋等心脏)怦怦直跳

fabric/'f?brIk/n.结构，框架
palm/pɑ?m/n.棕榈树
boulevard/'bu?l??vɑ?d/n.林阴大道，大街
utterly/'?t?li/adv.完全地，绝对地
beneath prep.在……之下
(be) thick with ...充满/布满……的
be laden with(空气中)充溢着(某种味道)的
[第12～13段译文]
仅仅是那一个理由，就足以吸引着他俯下身子向更深处望去。他看到的一切使他头晕目眩，心跳加速，但是他却没有迟疑：他把购物袋塞了过去，继而自己也钻了过去——穿过现实世界框架上的这个洞，进入了另一个世界。
他发现自己站在一排树下。这是一些高大的棕榈树，而不是角树。像在牛津的一样，那些树木沿着草地排列成行。只是，他所处的是一条宽阔的马路的中央，路的一侧是一排咖啡馆和小商店，灯火通明，还在营业，在布满繁星的夜空下，所有的店铺都静悄悄地，无人光顾。在这个炎热的晚上，空气中弥漫着鲜花的芳香和海水咸咸的味道。
Will looked around carefully. Behind him the full moon shone down over a distant prospect of great green hills, and on the slopes at the foot of the hills there were houses with rich gardens and an open parkland with groves of trees and the white gleam of a classical temple.
Just beside him was that bare patch in the air, as hard to see from this side as from the other, but definitely there. He bent to look through and saw the road in Oxford, his own world. He turned away with a shudder： whatever this new world was， it had to be better than what he'd just felt. With a dawning light?headedness， the feeling that he was dreaming but awake at the same time， he stood up and looked around for the cat, his guide.
prospect/'pr?spekt/n.视野，景象，景色
slope/sl??p/n.斜坡，斜面
parkland/'pɑ?k?l?nd/n.公共绿地
grove/gr??v/n.(尤指树木排列成行的)树丛
gleam/ɡli?m/n.亮光，反光
bare/be?/adj.光秃秃的
as ...as ...表示“和……一样……”。
bend/bend/v.弯腰，屈身
shudder/'??d?/n.战栗，发抖
whatever this new world was是让步状语从句。
dawning/'d??nI?/adj.开始出现的，开始发展的
light?headedness/?laIt'hedIdn?s/n.头晕，眩晕
dream/dri?m/v.做梦
awake/?'weIk/adj.醒着的，清醒的
that引导同位语从句，说明feeling的具体内容。
look around for四处寻找
[第14～15段译文]
威尔仔细地环顾四周。在他身后，满月映照着远处壮丽的青山的轮廓，山脚下的斜坡上坐落着带有美丽花园的房子，还有一块树木丛生的公共绿地，一座古典风格的庙宇在其上闪着微微的白光。
空气中的那个空洞就在他身边，无论是从这边还是那边都很难看见，但确定无疑地存在着。俯身向空洞的那一边望去，他看到了自己的世界——牛津的街道。他不禁一颤，转过身来：无论这个新世界如何，总会好过他刚刚离开的那个世界。带着逐渐出现的眩晕感觉，那种处在半梦半醒之间的感觉，他站起身来环顾四周寻找他的向导——那只猫。

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Fantasies for young readers really began with the fairy tales of writers such as the Brothers Grimm. Of course, all the children who grow up reading these books and tales never, at heart, really grow up at all, for such wonderful stories are forever carved in their minds. And fairy tales are as much fun to read when we are fifty, only for memorable reasons, as they were when we were children.
But it's obvious these days that fantasies aren't only for the little ones. In 1977, 23 years after The Lord of the Rings by Tolkien was published, Terry Brooks published his first novel, The Sword of Shannara. It became the first work of fiction ever to appear on The New York Times trade paperback bestseller list, where it remained for over five months. Following the release of Tolkien's work, earlier works of fantasy, like T．H. White's The Once and Future King and E．R. Eddison's The Mezentian Gate (in 1958) came out before The Sword of Shannara, but neither had an influence quite like The Sword of Shannara. Fantasies were truly reborn.
As the popularity of fantasies began to grow quickly, the film and television industry climbed_aboard_the_bandwagon. During the 1980s, the fantasy/adventure movie was born. Detective Conan is a classic to the 1980s. Other less memorable films can still be found in video stores. The lack of really good fantasy movies in the recent past can be blamed on substandard (低于标准的) special effects. However, now, in an age of post?modern computer technology, the impossible is no longer a concern. Since the release and popularity of The Lord of the Rings, cinema screen production rights have been purchased for scores of fantasy novels, from Terry Brooks to Robert Jordan.
The future of fantasies has never looked so assured. Even children's cinema has had its own successes through the big screen release of the Harry Potter series and the classic Peter Pan. While there remains a choice to go beyond the reality we know, there will always be fantasies.

“A serious attack on the fantasy story for children comes from those who do not wish children to be frightened.” C. S. Lewis writes in an essay named Three Ways of Writing for Children. Those who say that children must not be frightened mean two things. Firstly, they mean that we mustn't do anything likely to give children fears, and secondly, they want to keep out of their minds that they are born into a world of death, violence, wounds and evil (邪恶). C. S. Lewis says he agrees with the first reason, but not the second.
He goes on to comment, “Since it is so likely that they will meet cruel enemies, let them at least hear of brave fighters and heroic courage. By limiting your child to perfect and nice stories of child life in which nothing alarming ever happens, they would fail to face fears and hardships.”“It would be nice，” he continues, “if no little boy in bed ever hears a frightening sound. But if he is to be frightened, I think St. George, or any bright champion in armor (盔甲), is a better comfort than the idea of the police.”
Bruno Bettelheim, a well?known child psychologist, also points out that fantasy stories provide children with a valuable education about good and evil. He believes that all children have many personal fantasies filled with fears and fantasy stories comfort them and offer solutions. Happy endings tell them that solutions and hope are real and model the kind of happy life children want to find.
A good fantasy suggests rather than teaches possible answers to life. It's believed that reading fantasies quickens the ability to get and put ideas from books to reality. It's what good literature does — it makes life larger.
语篇解读：本文作者反驳了一些反对儿童阅读奇幻文学的错误观点，并强调了阅读奇幻文学的必要性。
5．According to the first paragraph, C. S. Lewis thinks that ________.
A．children shouldn't read any fantasy story because it is bad

D．writing a fantasy story is the best way of writing for children
解析：选B 推理判断题。根据第一段的最后一句“C.S.Lewis says he agrees with the first reason, but not the second.”可知，他同意上面提到的“Firstly, they mean that we mustn't do anything likely to give children fears”。由此可知，他认为我们不应该做任何让孩子害怕的事情。故选B。

A．He is a policeman in real life.
B．He is a murderer caught by the police.
C．He is a brave man in a fantasy novel.
D．He is a frightening person in a story.
解析：选C 推理判断题。根据第二段的“But if he is to be frightened, I think St.George, or any bright champion in armor (盔甲), is a better comfort than the idea of the police.”可知，圣·乔治不是警察也不是令人害怕的人物，而是可以用来安慰孩子的勇敢的幻想小说中的人物。故选C。
7．Why should children read fantasy literature according to Bruno Bettelheim?
A．Because it encourages children to have a lot of fantasies.
B．Because it helps children overcome fears and find solutions.
C．Because it teaches children to write their own fantasy stories.

解析：选B 细节理解题。根据第三段的“He believes that all children have many personal fantasies filled with fears and fantasy stories comfort them and offer solutions.”可知选B。
8．It can be inferred from the last paragraph that ________.
A．literature can give readers more frightening stories
B．fantasies can improve one's ability to solve problems

解析：选B 推理判断题。根据最后一段可知，作者认为幻想文学可以帮助孩子解决问题。故选B。
C
The Creation of Adam is Michelangelo's fresco (壁画) painted during 1508 to 1512. The painting is based on the Biblical story of creation and presents more than the artist's brave point of view. It might only be a part of the Sistine Chapel ceiling, but something about this painting makes it stand out.
In the painting, Adam is located on the left side in a relaxed fashion, and God is presented as a white?bearded elderly man, God's right arm almost touches Adam's left hand. Here Adam is receiving life directly from God, and through the life given to him — he will, in turn, give life to all humans.
Michelangelo made The Creation of Adam in such a way that the figure of Adam imitates the figure of God. Adam's body is curved (弧形的) as he reaches out to God, taking one's mind to the idea that man is made in similar appearance to God himself. The man's image appears a mirror reflection of God.
In Michelangelo's time, creation scenes were a common subject. But The Creation of Adam broke the rules that were set in the field of art. God has always been thought of as a powerful ruler of mankind. One would expect such a personality to be painted wearing royal clothing and such, but Michelangelo reduced him to a simple old man in simple clothes with most of his body exposed. God is shown to be accessible, touchable, and close to his creation.
There are still many explanations regarding the meaning of the painting. Geographers have considered it to be similar to two lands joined but separated by a huge canal. Scientists have analyzed the picture might symbolize (象征) the birth of mankind. Why did Michelangelo make the hands in that way? Why was a space left between two fingers? It is hard to think about it. This one detail is the entire reason why this painting is famous.
9．The image of God and Adam reaching out to each other symbolizes ________.
A．love to be passed
B．life to be passed
C．the struggle of life
D．equality of humans
解析：选B 细节理解题。根据第二段“Here Adam is receiving life ... give life to all humans.”可知，亚当和上帝将手伸向对方的画面代表着生命的传递。
10．How did Michelangelo paint God in a creative way?
A．He painted God as a poor old man.
B．He painted God as an ordinary man.
C．He described God as a powerful ruler.
D．He made God touched by humans.
解析：选B 推理判断题。根据第四段“Michelangelo reduced him to a simple old man in simple clothes ... accessible, touchable, and close to his creation”可推测，米开朗基罗在画中对上帝进行了创造性的呈现，把他刻画成了普通人。
11．According to the author, what makes the painting so famous?
A．Its location in the Sistine Chapel.
B．Its theme that was commonly used.
C．Its special color that was seldom used.
D．Its secret meaning that is hard to understand.
解析：选 D 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Why did Michelangelo ... is the entire reason why this painting is famous.”可推测，作者认为这幅壁画之所以这么有名，主要在于其意义难以猜透。
12．What is the text mainly about?
A．A Biblical story of creation.
B．The talents of Michelangelo.
C．The value of The Creation of Adam.
D．An introduction to The Creation of Adam.
解析：选D 主旨大意题。本文主要介绍了米开朗基罗的著名壁画作品《创造亚当》的一些细节信息。

Encouraging others is an important part of being part of a family, a group of people and a community. Everyone is doing his/her best in this world and sometimes, a kind word of encouragement can help others realize that they're not alone. __1__ Take some time out today to encourage someone who crosses your path.
Encourage even the smallest effort. Small efforts may appear little for most of the time. __2__ It can be enough to produce the motivation to continue with a challenge. It could even be a way of helping a small effort grow into something large.

Ⅱ.短文改错
My wife and I were having a walk when we saw a large black bear heading down same path in our direction. I hurried looked around with trees that might be climbable. Remembering that bears are excellent tree climber as well, I decided that our best plan for escape might be to just go to a different direction. The unexpected thing was what as we backed away from the bear's route, we saw another bear within about 90 yards. Look back, I felt a bit foolish. I remembered anyone once said, “If a black bear follows you, and you should stand still and try to frighten the black bear by shouting or throwing rocks”.

The Story of J．K. Rowling and Harry Potter
The elder stateswoman① of British fantasy literature is J．K. Rowling, the gifted② creator of Harry Potter. Joanne Rowling's roots③ are in the southwest of England, where she grew up④. But the idea for Harry Potter came to her⑤ while she was on a delayed train⑥ between Manchester and London. She wrote down⑦ her ideas on the back of an envelope. She then went to teach English in Portugal, where she continued to add flesh⑧ to the bones of the first Harry Potter story⑨. But her name is forever associated with⑩ Edinburgh in Scotland, where she lived and developed the format? for the whole series of seven books?.

J．K.罗琳与哈利·波特的故事
[第1段译文]
哈利·波特的天才般的创造者——J.K.罗琳，是英国魔幻文学的元老。乔安妮·罗琳在老家——英格兰西南部长大。而关于哈利·波特的想法是在从曼彻斯特开往伦敦的一列晚点的火车上闯入她的脑海的。她在一个信封的背面写下了她的想法。随后她前往葡萄牙教英语，在那里，她继续给她的第一部哈利·波特小说的框架添加情节。但是她的名字却永远与苏格兰的爱丁堡联系在一起，她生活在那儿，并在那儿把整个系列7本书的框架构思出来。
There are many anecdotes? about how, in 1990, J．K. Rowling began the first draft? of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. She had the extra burden? of looking after her baby daughter while she worked, and because she was too poor to? own a typewriter, she wrote by hand?. She spent many hours over a single cup of coffee in a warm cafeteria in Edinburgh because she had no money to pay for? the heating? at home.
Success was not swift? and Rowling might have given up. But she was stubborn and overcame all the difficulties. It was only in 1997 that she completed the first Harry Potter story， which, because the publishers in the USA requested an adjustment to the title, was also known as Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.
Rowling always intended that her output would be a book every year until she had finished the series. In fact, it took her about ten years to complete. But after the first book, the success of each of the following titles was automatic. The fifth book, The Order of the Phoenix sold about seven million copies the day it was published.

might have done sth.本来可能做某事
stubborn/'st?b?n/adj.顽强的，坚持的
It was ...that ...是强调句型。
adjustment/?'d??stm?nt/n.调整
intend v．打算， intend to do sth.打算做某事
output/'a?t?p?t/n.(文学等的)作品数量
It takes sb. some time to do sth.做某事花费了某人多长时间。
automatic/???t?'m?tIk/adj.自动的，习惯性的，自然发生的
the day相当于连词，在此引导时间状语从句。
publish v．发行，出版
[第2～4段译文]
关于J.K.罗琳1990年如何开始她的第一部《哈利·波特与哲学家的石头》的初稿有许多奇闻。她在工作的同时还要肩负另外的责任，那就是照顾她幼小的女儿。由于贫穷，她买不起打字机，她只好手写书稿。因为没钱支付家里的取暖费用，她会在爱丁堡一家温暖的自助餐厅里要上一杯咖啡，然后待上很长时间。
成功不是一蹴而就的，罗琳本可能会放弃。但她是顽强的，她克服了所有的困难。直到1997年她才完成第一部哈利·波特小说。由于美国的出版商要求调整书名，这本书也被称作《哈利·波特与魔法石》。
罗琳一直计划每年出一本书直到完成整个系列。事实上，她却花了大约10年的时间来完成。但是第一本书问世之后，该系列接下来的每一本书的成功就显得自然而然了。第5本书《凤凰社》仅在发行的当天就售出了约700万册。
Rowling's style has been a target for some criticism， but what makes the books so important is that， because they appeal to readers of all ages, they create a special literary bond between parents and children. In an age of computer games and television programmes, it is also claimed they are responsible for a renewed interest in reading. Harry Potter has even become part of the school curriculum， much to the pleasure of the schoolchildren.
And the Harry Potter effect is not just restricted to the English?speaking world. Rowling's books have been translated into more than 55 languages, and it has been estimated that more than 250 million copies have been distributedaround the world. In 2005 it was estimated that Rowling had accumulated more than one billion dollars on deposit in her bank. She has thus attained the status of being the first writer to become a billionaire.
target/'tɑ?gIt/n.(批评等的)对象
criticism/'krItI?sIz?m/n.批评，评论
what makes the books ...是主语从句。
that引导表语从句，中间被because ...隔开了。

attain/?'teIn/v.达到，得到
status/'steIt?s/n.身份，地位
billionaire/?bIlj?'ne?/n.亿万富翁，巨富
[第5～6段译文],罗琳的写作风格成了一些批评的对象，但是这些书之所以重要是因为它们在父母和孩子之间建立起了一条特殊的文学纽带，因为它们吸引了各个年龄段的读者。同时，也证实了在电脑游戏和电视节目时代，它们掀起了新的读书热潮。哈利·波特甚至已经成为学校课程的一部分，这使得学生们特别开心。
哈利·波特的影响不仅仅局限于讲英语的国家。罗琳的书已被翻译成55种以上的语言版本，据估计，全世界已售出超过2.5亿册。2005年，估计罗琳的银行存款累计已超过10亿美元。因此她成了第一位亿万富翁作家。

Extract from The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe
And then she saw that there was a light ahead of⑩ her; not a few inches away where the back of the wardrobe ought? to have been, but a long way off. Something cold and soft was falling on her. A moment later she found that she was standing in the middle of a wood at nighttime ?with snow under her feet and snowflakes falling through the air?.
Lucy felt a little frightened?， but she felt very inquisitive? and excited as well?. She looked back over her shoulder? and there, between the dark tree trunks, she could still see the open doorway of the wardrobe and even catch a glimpse of? the empty room ?from which she had set out?. (She had, of course, left the door open， for she knew that it was a very silly thing to shut oneself into a wardrobe.) It seemed to be still daylight there. “I can always get back if anything goes wrong，” thought Lucy. She began to walk forward, crunch?crunch over the snow and through the wood towards the other light. In about ten minutes she reached it and found it was a lamppost. As she stood looking at it, wondering why there was a lamppost in the middle of a wood, and wondering what to do next， she heard the pitter?patter of feet coming towards her. And soon after that a very strange person stepped out from among the trees into the light of the lamppost.

《狮子、女巫与魔衣橱》节选
[第1～2段译文]
然后，她看见前面有一道光，离它不远处可以看到魔衣橱的后面，但走起来却很远。冰冷而柔软的东西不停地落在她身上。片刻之后，她发现她正站在晚间的树林中间，积雪踩在脚下，雪片从空中飘来。
露西有点害怕，但同时她也很好奇、很兴奋。她扭头向后望去，在黑色的树干之间，仍然可见魔衣橱的入口处，她甚至还能瞥见她走出的那个空房间。(当然，她一直让门开着，因为她知道把自己关在衣橱里是很傻的。)那里似乎还是白天。“如果发生了什么事，我还可以回去，”露西想。她开始往前走，伴着踩在积雪上发出的嘎吱嘎吱声穿过森林，朝着另一处亮光走去。大约十分钟之后她到了那里，发现那是一根灯柱。当她站在那里，看着灯柱时，她开始感到奇怪，为什么森林中间会有根灯柱，她不知所措，这时她听见劈里啪啦的脚步声，(有人正)朝她走来。随后，一个非常奇怪的人从森林里走到了灯光下。
He was only a little taller than Lucy herself and carried over his head an umbrella, white with snow. From the waist upwards he was like a man, but his legs were shaped like a goat's (the hair on them was glossy black) and instead of feet he had goat's hoofs. He also had a tail, but Lucy did not notice this at first because it was so neatly caught up over the arm that held the umbrella so as to keep it from trailing in the snow. He had a red woollen muffler round his neck and his skin was rather reddish too. He had a strange, but pleasant little face, with a short pointed beard and curly hair, and out of the hair there stuck two horns, one on each side of his forehead. One of his hands, as I have said， held the umbrella; in the other arm he carried several brown?paper parcels. With the parcels and the snow it looked just as if he had been doing his Christmas shopping. He was a Faun. And when he saw Lucy he gave such a start of surprise that he dropped all his parcels.
“Goodness gracious me！” exclaimed the Faun.

[第3～4段译文],他只比露西略高一点，头上撑着一把伞，伞上满是雪。他腰部以上像人，而腿却像山羊腿?腿上是有光泽的黑毛?，脚不是人脚而是羊蹄。他还有一条尾巴，但露西起初没有注意到，因为它整齐地缠在撑伞的手臂上，免得它拖到雪地上。他脖子上围着一条红色羊毛围巾，他的皮肤也略带红。他有一张奇特却相当好看的小脸，短短的胡子很显眼，头发打着卷。两只羊角从卷发处伸出来，长在前额的两侧。正如我所说的，他的一只手拿着伞；而另一只手拿着几个棕色的纸包。通过纸包和他身上的雪来看，他刚才好像去买圣诞礼物了。他是一个半人半羊的农牧神。看到露西他吃了一惊，包裹都掉了下来。,“天哪！”他惊叫道。

二、勤练高考题型，多练自能生巧
Ⅰ.阅读理解
You see them in the halls, in a daze, walking toward their classes. Their faces are pale with tiredness, their backs are bent under the weight of a dozen textbooks. They are the ones struggling to hold back a yawn during class, the ones crazily rereading their notes on the nature of light.
They are the few, the chosen. They are the AP (Advanced Placement) students. The truth is that honors students are no longer a select few. Over half of students hoping to enter colleges will take AP classes, and of these, most take at least two. The AP
system makes them believe that their college success depends on taking as many advanced courses as possible, but is it really worth it？“On average, I spend three to four hours each day on homework，” says one high school student, who is taking five AP classes.
With increasing pressure to apply for AP courses, not only for college credit but also for the weighted GPA (Grade Point Average), it is no wonder that students often find their grades suffering and their stress levels increasing. In reality, AP courses have become mere trophies (奖杯), adding little to the competitive college application.
One of the major disadvantages in the AP system is that every class is shaped for a standardized test. The result is that comprehensive learning is replaced by test preparation, with teachers spending the most time on topics likely to appear on the AP exam. “It would be nice to sit back and learn for the sake of learning, not just to get a five on the test in May.” says one high school student.
And just because a student receives a high grade on the AP test does not mean he or she will receive college credit. Many universities now don't consider an AP class in high school can replace an actual undergraduate college?level class, which is usually a three?hour, lecture?based course with changing degrees of homework. Perhaps more high schools should consider offering their students the opportunity to take actual college courses through the local university.
语篇解读：为了能够在成绩上获得优势，许多高中学生在进入大学前会选修AP课程。但是这种课程真能帮助学生学到知识吗？
1．Who are more likely to take AP classes?
A．College students.
B．Employees who want to improve themselves.
C．Teachers who intend to guide their students.
D．High school students who want to apply for universities.
解析：选D 细节理解题。根据第二段的“Over half of students hoping to enter colleges will take AP classes，and of these, most take at least two.”以及下文内容可知，选修AP课程的多数为报考大学的高中生。
2．What can we learn from Paragraph 3?
A．Students who take AP courses are poor in study.
B．It is very difficult for students to apply for AP courses.
C．The role of AP courses in applying for colleges is small.
D．Students take AP courses only to win more trophies.
解析：选C 推理判断题。根据第三段的“AP courses have become mere trophies (奖杯), adding little to the competitive college application.”可知，AP课程在竞争激烈的大学申请中起到的作用很小。
3．What is the author's concern about AP system?
A．It would add more homework to students.
B．It is too expensive for students to afford it.
C．It aims for the tests but not for a wide?ranging knowledge.
D．It would increase the competition of applying for colleges.
解析：选C 细节理解题。根据第四段的“One of the major disadvantages in the AP system is that every class is shaped for a standardized test. The result is that comprehensive learning is replaced by test preparation ...”可知，作者对于AP系统的忧虑是：它只是为考试做准备的，而不是以教给学生更多的知识为目的。
4．What is the most colleges' attitude to the AP system?
A．Supportive. B．Negative.
C．Uninterested. D．Worried.
解析：选B 观点态度题。根据最后一段的“Many universities now don't consider an AP class in high school can replace an actual undergraduate college?level class ...”可知，现在许多大学认为AP课程无法替代大学阶段的课程，因而可以看出，许多大学对AP课程的态度是消极的。
Ⅱ.语法填空
Hawaii is a unique and unpredictable (不可预测的) place. Perfectly clear conditions can turn stormy __1__ (rapid). So when I learned that I was one of the five disabled athletes who __2__ (select) to compete in the Ironman World Championship in Kona, Hawaii, I knew I had to expect the unexpected.

I continued swimming as quickly as possible. At one point, my guide clocked me at just 9 __7__ (mile) per hour. But I kept __8__ (push) forward. It reminded me of my earlier military life: Giving up isn't a choice. You should do the work __9__ you complete it.
I finally crossed the finish line, and when I felt the weight of the medal around my neck, I __10__ (hear) one of the organizers told me, “Michael, congratulations, you are an Ironman.” Well, that feeling of joy was difficult to describe.

Section Ⅴ Writing— 如何写科幻故事
科幻故事是开放式作文的一种，一般给出一段材料，要求我们充分发挥想象力来拓展原材料内容，运用逻辑推理的方法，沿着材料的纵横方向延伸，给故事添加开头、结尾或中间过程。想象必须合理而且内容丰富，要抓住主题，运用恰当的词汇、句型与语句间的连接成分写出连贯的表达，语言要流畅、具有美感。
一、写作流程
写科幻故事需要遵循以下步骤：
1．仔细审题，确定文章结构
科幻故事的写作一般可分为三部分：第一部分为故事的开始；第二部分为故事发展的过程及结果；最后一部分提出故事的教育意义。
2．根据需要确定时态
科幻故事通常是发生在过去，因此应以一般过去时为主。
3．筛选词汇
科幻故事一般为虚构的故事，要求语言比较夸张，为了吸引读者，故事的语言要生动、富于虚幻性。
二、增分佳句
(一)科幻故事的开端
1．Once upon a time, there lived a king.
很久以前，有一位国王。
2．With science and technology developing, our lives have changed a lot in the 21st century.
随着科技的发展，21世纪我们的生活发生了很大改变。
(二)科幻故事的发展和高潮
1．The ring suddenly began to speak, which made the brave young man very amazed.
戒指突然开始说话了，这使得这位勇敢的年轻人很惊异。
2．No one liked to talk to Wilbur, a weak pig, except a spider named Charlotte, who treated Wilbur as her good friend.
除了蜘蛛夏绿蒂，没有人喜欢和身体虚弱的小猪韦尔伯说话，夏绿蒂把韦尔伯当作她的好朋友。
3．In 2146, we are flying in the air, conveying signals through our minds.
在2146年，我们在空中飞翔，用意识传递信息。
(三)科幻故事的结局
They finally defeated the evil witch, living a happy life.
他们最终战胜了邪恶的女巫，过上了幸福的生活。
[题目要求]
某英文报社正在举行英文科幻故事大赛，请你根据所给出的故事的开头(不计入总词数)，续写一篇100词左右的科幻小故事参赛。
Once upon a time, a young man was walking through a wood when he saw a shining ring lying on the ground. He just stood, wondering and then the ring said, “Young man, a kind girl is trapped by a witch in the castle ahead. If you are brave enough to rescue her, you will gain happiness. Put on me and I will help you.”
第一步：审题构思很关键

2．确定人称：主体为第三人称；
3．确定时态：以一般过去时为主。
二、构思
第一部分为故事的开始。
第二部分为故事发展的过程。
最后一部分提出故事的结果。

7．with_the_help_of_... 在……的帮助下
8．remove 使消失
9．together_with 和……一起
10．defeat 打败
第三步：由词扩句雏形现
1．年轻人没有犹豫，戴上了这枚戒指。(简单句)
The_young_man_didn't_hesitate_and_put_the_ring_on_his_finger.
2．他吃惊地发现自己消失了，其他人都看不见他。(that宾语从句)

4．一靠近城堡，他就戴上了戒指，进入了城堡。(as soon as)
As_soon_as_he_approached_the_castle,_he_put_on_the_ring_and_entered_the_castle.
5．最终他找到了那个女孩，她被女巫施了魔咒。(“介词＋关系代词”定语从句)
Eventually,_he_found_the_girl,_on_whom_the_witch_had_put_a_spell.
6．他了解到除非有人将女巫的魔棒(magical club)毁掉，否则女孩永远不能动。(unless条件状语从句)
He_learned_that,_unless_someone_destroyed_the_witch's_magical_club,_the_girl_couldn't_move_forever.
7．在戒指的帮助下，他在一个金盒中找到了魔棒。并成功地将其毁掉，解除了女巫对女孩施的魔咒。(and连接多个并列动词)
With_the_help_of_the_ring,_he_found_the_magical_club_in_a_golden_box,_destroyed_it_successfully,_and_removed_the_spell_put_on_the_girl_by_the_witch.
8．这个年轻人和女孩一起打败了女巫，他们幸福地生活在一起。(简单句)
The_young_man,_together_with_the_girl,_defeated_the_witch,_and_they_lived_a_happy_life_together.
第四步：句式升级造亮点
1．将句1和句2合并成用动词?ing形式作状语的句子
The_young_man_didn't_hesitate_to_put_the_ring_on_his_finger,_surprisingly_discovering_that_he_disappeared,_invisible_to_other_people.
2．用on＋动词?ing形式改写句4
On_approaching_the_castle,_he_put_on_the_ring,_and_entered_the_castle.
3．用动词?ing形式作状语改写句7
With_the_help_of_the_ring,_he_found_the_magical_club_in_a_golden_box,_and_destroyed_it_successfully,_thus_removing_the_spell_put_on_the_girl_by_the_witch.
第五步：过渡衔接联成篇
Once upon a time, a young man was walking through a wood when he saw a shining ring lying on the ground. He just stood, wondering and then the ring said, “Young man, a kind girl is trapped by a witch in the castle ahead. If you are brave enough to rescue her, you will gain happiness. Put on me and I will help you.”

Ⅱ.阅读理解
Writing poetry can seem frightening. However, with the right inspiration (灵感) and approach, you can write a poem that you can be proud to share with others in class or with your friends.
A poem might start as a piece of a verse, a line or two that seems to come out of nowhere, or an image you cannot get out of your head. You can find inspiration for your poem by doing writing exercises and using the world around you. Once you have inspiration, you can then shape your thoughts into a poem.
You may also be inspired by going for a walk in your neighborhood or to your favorite spot in the city. You may observe people on a park bench or in a public square and use moments from your observations as the inspiration for a poem. You could try writing a poem about a person who is important to you in your life, such as your mother or your best friend. You could use the person as inspiration for your poem.
You can start your poem by focusing on a specific (特定的) theme or idea that you find attractive or interesting. Picking a specific theme or idea to focus on in the poem can give your poem a clear goal or point. This can make it easier for you to limit what images and descriptions you are going to use in your poem. For example, you may decide to write a poem around the theme of “love and friendship”. You may then think about specific moments in your life when you experienced love and friendship as well as how you would characterize love and friendship based on your relationships with others.
There are many different poetic forms that you can use, from free verse to sonnet to rhyming couplet. You may go for a poetic form that you find easy to use, such as free verse, or a form that you find more challenging, such as sonnet. Choose one poetic form and stick to that structure so your poem feels cohesive (连贯的) to your readers.
1．When it comes to poem writing, both Paragraph 2 and Paragraph 3 show the importance of ________.
A．looking for inspiration around us
B．having a gift for poem writing
C．knowing the structures of poems
D．being supported by people around us
解析：选A 细节理解题。根据第二段的“Once you have inspiration, you can then shape your thoughts into a poem.”以及第三段的“You may also be inspired by going for a walk in your neighborhood or to your favorite spot in the city.”可知这两段都强调了寻找灵感的重要性。
2．What does the example of writing a poem around the theme of “love and friendship” show?
A．Inspiration is everywhere around us.
B．We can be encouraged by love and friendship.
C．Picking a specific theme or idea is important.
D．We should write about things we're familiar with.
解析：选C 推理判断题。根据第四段的“Picking a specific theme or idea to focus on in the poem can ...going to use in your poem.”可知这个例子是为了表明选择一个特定的主题的重要性。
3．Who would most probably try writing a sonnet?
A．Someone who wants to feel cohesive to his/her readers.
B．Someone who wants to try a difficult form of poetry.
C．Someone who tries to write a poem the first time.
D．Someone who dislikes the structure of poems.
解析：选B 细节理解题。根据第五段的“... a form that you find more challenging, such as sonnet.”可知想要体验更难的诗歌体裁的人会尝试十四行诗这种体裁。
4．What does this passage mainly talk about?
A．Some forms of poems.
B．Some tips to write poems.
C．The author's experience of writing poems.
D．Some tips to overcome the fear of writing poems.
解析：选B 主旨大意题。综合全文内容可知，本文主要向我们介绍了一些写诗歌的方法。

W: Just tell me the number and I'll try it for you.
(Text 2)
W: Tom!
M: Yes?
W: Could you please take this tape recorder to my office for me?
M: With pleasure. And let me carry some of these exercise books for you.
(Text 3)
W: Nice weather we're having.
M: Yes. Isn't it a nice surprise? At this time it's usually much colder and raining already.
W: Well, this weather will probably end soon; all the leaves on the trees are brown, and it's been pretty cold at night.
(Text 4)
M: Hurry up, Jenny. It's already seven. We'll be late for the film.
W: Don't worry dear, we still have twenty minutes. And it takes us only fifteen minutes to get there. We'll be there just in time.
(Text 5)
M: Would you remind me when we get to Buckingham Palace, Please?
W: Sure, no problem! Now we are at Oxford Street, and we can get there in thirty minutes.
(Text 6)
W: Slow down. Why are you in such a hurry?
M: Hi, Cindy. I was just looking for you. Do you know your painting was chosen to be exhibited at the City's Student Art Show?
W: Really? Who told you that?
M: I just learned it from the principal's office.
W: Are you sure you heard it right?
M: Of course. I saw the notice with my own eyes. I wanted to be the first person to bring the news to you. That's why I rushed here.
W: I really can't believe it.
M: Well, I'm glad I am the first to congratulate you.

W: So do I. No other city has as many good restaurants or as much good music.
M: Is San Francisco your hometown?
W: I am from a very small town in Pennsylvania. I wouldn't want to live there again, either. I don't like to live in a small town very much.
M: Neither do I. But small towns have their advantages: less traffic.
W: And friendlier people. You know, I'm beginning to feel homesick. By the way, where are you from?
M: China.
W: China? But you speak English like a native speaker. I didn't have any idea.

(Text 9)
W: Good morning. Can I help you?
M: Yes, please. I want to find out about the bus service between here and my home in Detroit. I came here last week by train, but I think I want to return by bus. I like to try different ways of traveling.
W: I'll try to help you. Here is our timetable. It shows that we have eight buses a day that leave Cleveland for Detroit. I think you'll find that service is cheaper than the train's.
M: Yes, it looks as though the tickets are quite a bit cheaper than the train tickets. Why is that?
W: The bus trips take a little longer than the train trips, and we don't have a dining car or a waiting room. We do have a rest room, however, the bus is air?conditioned. The trip should be comfortable.
M: How long is the trip?
W: We have an express bus that takes a little more than three hours, and we have a bus that stops at several cities along the way. It's of course cheaper, but it takes a little more than four hours. If you don't mind the extra traveling time, it's our best bargain.
M: Can I use my return ticket from the train to pay for my bus ticket?
W: No, you'll have to take that ticket back to the train station. That's a different company. They'll give your money back, and then you can buy a ticket from me here for the bus.
M: Thank you, Madam. I want to talk this over with my aunt and uncle before I make the final decision. Thanks for your help.

A．leads her to a magical world
B．sends her to a special pet store

It is difficult for me to decide on specific authors who inspire me. This is not because they do not impress me; it is because they all impress me.
I can tell you, however, that I am wholly impressed by William Goldman's ability to interest all the audience. Years later, his audience still google search for the complete version of The Princess Bride. They still e?mail the publisher, asking for the unpublished love scene. His ability to make all of these people, myself included, believe that each of the different story lines is true is a pure skill.
J．R.R. Tolkien also inspires me, specifically in world?building. Not only is Middle?earth a real place (map and all) to anyone who has heard of the book, it also has its own language. Cancel that; it has many languages. You can buy a dictionary! I'm simply astonished.
Margaret Atwood also earns a place on this_list. She is a well read, literary author of science fiction. Let me repeat that: she is a well read, literary author of science fiction. She also includes subjects such as feminism and depression, and regularly makes her characters question authority. I think I have a crush. She is everything I want to be. I feel that I may fall more to the genre fiction (通俗小说) side than the literary fiction side. However, I also believe that a genre fiction book that is written well enough can become a literary fiction. This is my goal.
Nancy Mehl also inspires me. I am lucky enough to know her. It's amazing to know someone who succeeds in his/her art, and she inspires me for doing so. She has also managed to work her faith into her novels, which is important to her. However, she has managed to do so without pushing it upon the readers in an uncomfortable way.
To each of you I say, “Thank you.” Thank you for what you do, for your dedication (奉献) to the craft, for making it real, for connecting me to someone I never would have known without you.
25．How do readers react when reading William Goldman's The Princess Bride?
A．They feel they've been understood.
B．They consider it a complete book.
C．They think it has too many story lines.
D．They think its stories have really happened.
解析：选D 细节理解题。根据第二段的“His ability to make all of these people, myself included, believe that each of the different story lines is true is a pure skill.”可知读者会认为《公主新娘》这本书里的故事是真实发生过的。
26．What does the underlined part “this list” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A．Writers who are special.
B．Writers who are famous.
C．Writers who inspire the author.
D．Writers who've written great books.
解析：选C 代词指代题。根据第一段的“It is difficult for me to decide on specific authors who inspire me.”以及文章内容，可知这几位作家都是鼓舞过作者的。
27．According to Paragraph 4, what does the author want to achieve?
A．To interest an entire audience.
B．To write as many fictions as possible.
C．To be famous as a writer of serious literature.
D．To be a great author of genre fiction.
解析：选D 细节理解题。根据第四段的“Let me repeat that: she is a well read, literary author of science fiction.”以及“I feel that I may fall more to the genre fiction (通俗小说) side than the literary fiction side.”可知作者想要成为一名通俗小说作家。
28．What can we learn about Nancy Mehl?
A．She wants all her books to be inspiring.
B．She doesn't think books should teach lessons.
C．She can work her faith into her novels naturally.
D．She writes books that are uncomfortable to read.
解析：选C 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“She has also managed to work her faith into her novels”以及“However, she has managed to do so without pushing it upon the readers in an uncomfortable way.”可知她能很自然地把自己的信念融入到她的作品里面。
C
We can express thoughts and feelings, and send sounds and pictures on our smartphones today. We can't send tastes, smells or touch, of course. But scientists in Britain are trying to develop a way for smartphones to do just that.
David Cheoka, a professor at City University in London, wants people to experience communication using all of their senses.
To give users a sense of taste, researchers designed two electrodes (电极) that are placed on the tongue. When users put their tongues in between, a chemical process can create different tastes through molecules (分子) on the surface of the tongue and this chemical process sends electrical signals to make users get a taste, convincing the brain that a person is tasting something. They have already created sour, salty, sweet and bitter tastes.
A device called “Scentee” permits users to have the sense of smell. Scentee plugs into a smartphone and can spray tiny clouds of fragrances (芳香), including flowers, fruits and coffee, etc. With the help of an app, the device, when connected to your mobile phone, will send out a scent. Scentee holds a container with about 100 different smells. The container must be replaced when all the scents run out.
The sense of touch comes from a ring?like device. It is connected wirelessly to the smartphone. The device sends a soft and electrical press when a person on the other end of a telephone conversation does the same. Professor Cheoka says this permits a kind of wireless touch communication. For example, you can be in London and your friend is in Tokyo. You press your finger and then your friend will get a press on his finger.
Professor Cheoka says he hopes devices like these will someday be added to houses, which may change the future of long?distance communication.
29．What's the purpose of the two electrodes?
A．To create and send a user's taste.
B．To test the sense of a user's tongue.
C．To convince the reaction of a user's brain.
D．To tell the differences among sour, salty, sweet and bitter.
解析：选A 细节理解题。根据第三段中提到这两个电极的作用是“a chemical process can create different tastes”可知，与A项意思一致。
30．What does the underlined word “scent” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A．Cloud. B．App.
C．Smell. D．Container.
解析：选C 词义猜测题。根据本段语境可知，它主要讲的是关于如何传递气味的，故应选C项。
31．How can the ring?like device make you feel the touch?
A．Through wireless communication.
B．Through a telephone conversation.
C．With the help of a smartphone.
D．With the press of the ring on our finger.
解析：选C 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段可知，传递触觉实际上是靠手机以及一种“wireless touch communication”来完成的，但手机是不可或缺的。
D
Jane Austen ever popular
This summer, the UK will honor one of its favorite writers, Jane Austen (1775－ 1817), by making her the face of the new ￡10 note. In the 200 years since her death, Austen's fame has increased to global fame.
Yet Austen's works are so very English that it's rather strange she should be so popular all over the world. Her novels are so of her time that it's remarkable that she's still appreciated in this very
different age. Her most famous works — including Pride and Prejudice (《傲慢与偏见》), the one for which she is most known — are set in the world of the English gentry (上流社会人士) in the early 19th century.
Most of her fiction is about young women of that time. Women of the gentry could not work, so their chances of happiness or even basic living depended upon finding a husband. This is a very serious subject, of course, but the joy of Austen's stories is her ability to make wonderful, but also touching comedy out of something so serious.
Take Pride and Prejudice as an example. The main plot of the novel is driven by the love?hate relationship between Elizabeth and Mr Darcy, a wealthy man. At first, they don't get on. Elizabeth finds Darcy too proud; she feels he thinks he is better than everyone else. She thinks that he looks down upon her family in particular. Darcy, while admiring Elizabeth, believes that she has taken unfairly to him. The pleasure of the novel is reading how these difficulties are overcome and how the comical and unexpected ending is achieved.
If we think about this story, it's obvious why Jane Austen is still popular 200 years after her death, and why readers can still have the same feelings with characters from the long dead world of the 19th century English gentry. Although there have been many changes since that time, it's still the greatest challenge in life for men and women to find the partner of their dreams.
语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。作者在文中分析了简·奥斯汀的文学作品现在仍然受欢迎的原因。
32．It can be concluded from Paragraph 2 that the author ________.
A．believes Jane Austen's works are ahead of her time
B．thinks that everyone should read Jane Austen's works
C．has doubts about Jane Austen's popularity all over the world
D．is surprised that Jane Austen's works are still so popular
解析：选D 推理判断题。根据第二段的“it's rather strange”以及“Her novels are so of her time that it's remarkable that she's still appreciated in this very different age.”可知，作者认为简·奥斯汀的作品是非常英式的，具有她那个时代的特点，但是很奇怪在这个完全不同的年代她的作品依旧能在全世界继续流行，故第二段得出的结论是作者很惊讶简·奥斯汀的作品仍然流行，故选D。
33．According to the text, Pride and Prejudice ________.
A．has a sad and unexpected ending
B．deals with a serious social issue in a light?hearted way
C．centers on poor people's struggles in the early 19th century
D．tells readers that everyone can succeed through hard work
解析：选B 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“This is a very serious subject ... comedy out of something so serious.”以及第四段中的“The pleasure of the novel is ...how the comical and unexpected ending is achieved.”可知，作者认为《傲慢与偏见》以轻松的形式来处理严肃的社会问题，因此选B。
34．We can learn from the text that Jane Austen remains popular today because ________.
A．readers enjoy reading love stories about wealthy people
B．readers are attracted by the way people deal with difficulties in the stories
C．readers can always find something new from her novels
D．her works deal with problems many of today's readers still face
解析：选D 细节理解题。根据最后一段内容，尤其是最后一句可知，简·奥斯汀的作品至今仍然流行的原因是尽管时代变了，但是寻求合适的伴侣仍然是人们生活中面临的最大挑战，而这个问题也是简·奥斯汀的作品探讨的问题。因此选D。
35．The text is mainly written to ________.
A．tell us why Jane Austen is chosen to be on the new ￡10 note
B．introduce the story of Pride and Prejudice
C．explain why Jane Austen is still popular today
D．introduce Jane Austen's creative writing style
解析：选C 写作意图题。文章开头先借简·奥斯汀的头像要被用在英国新的10磅钞票上这个新闻引出简·奥斯汀，第二段提出简·奥斯汀的作品在200年后的今天仍然广受欢迎，随后通过《傲慢与偏见》分析了她的作品吸引读者的地方，结尾升华表明她的作品所探讨的问题仍然是当今读者所关心的问题，以上均是对简·奥斯汀如今仍然很流行的探讨，因此选C。

2．有人认为噪音影响了自己的生活；
3．请你给出两个赞成广场舞的理由。
注意：1.词数100左右；
2．可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。
参考范文：
Square dancing is becoming increasingly popular in China nowadays. As everyone can see, in some public places like squares, parks, and even the narrow streets between buildings, a large number of old ladies dance to joyful music happily. However, some people think the music they dance to is too noisy and that it seriously affects their life.
Frankly speaking, I don't agree with them. On the one hand, most of the ladies are retired women, who finally have free time to do what they like. By dancing together, they can make more friends and share the same interest with them. On the other hand, those places are public for anyone who uses them for entertainment or relaxation.

二、勤练高考题型，多练自能生巧
Ⅰ.阅读理解
You see them in the halls, in a daze, walking toward their classes. Their faces are pale with tiredness, their backs are bent under the weight of a dozen textbooks. They are the ones struggling to hold back a yawn during class, the ones crazily rereading their notes on the nature of light.
They are the few, the chosen. They are the AP (Advanced Placement) students. The truth is that honors students are no longer a select few. Over half of students hoping to enter colleges will take AP classes, and of these, most take at least two. The AP
system makes them believe that their college success depends on taking as many advanced courses as possible, but is it really worth it？“On average, I spend three to four hours each day on homework，” says one high school student, who is taking five AP classes.
With increasing pressure to apply for AP courses, not only for college credit but also for the weighted GPA (Grade Point Average), it is no wonder that students often find their grades suffering and their stress levels increasing. In reality, AP courses have become mere trophies (奖杯), adding little to the competitive college application.
One of the major disadvantages in the AP system is that every class is shaped for a standardized test. The result is that comprehensive learning is replaced by test preparation, with teachers spending the most time on topics likely to appear on the AP exam. “It would be nice to sit back and learn for the sake of learning, not just to get a five on the test in May.” says one high school student.
And just because a student receives a high grade on the AP test does not mean he or she will receive college credit. Many universities now don't consider an AP class in high school can replace an actual undergraduate college?level class, which is usually a three?hour, lecture?based course with changing degrees of homework. Perhaps more high schools should consider offering their students the opportunity to take actual college courses through the local university.
语篇解读：为了能够在成绩上获得优势，许多高中学生在进入大学前会选修AP课程。但是这种课程真能帮助学生学到知识吗？
1．Who are more likely to take AP classes?
A．College students.
B．Employees who want to improve themselves.
C．Teachers who intend to guide their students.
D．High school students who want to apply for universities.
解析：选D 细节理解题。根据第二段的“Over half of students hoping to enter colleges will take AP classes，and of these, most take at least two.”以及下文内容可知，选修AP课程的多数为报考大学的高中生。
2．What can we learn from Paragraph 3?
A．Students who take AP courses are poor in study.
B．It is very difficult for students to apply for AP courses.
C．The role of AP courses in applying for colleges is small.
D．Students take AP courses only to win more trophies.
解析：选C 推理判断题。根据第三段的“AP courses have become mere trophies (奖杯), adding little to the competitive college application.”可知，AP课程在竞争激烈的大学申请中起到的作用很小。
3．What is the author's concern about AP system?
A．It would add more homework to students.
B．It is too expensive for students to afford it.
C．It aims for the tests but not for a wide?ranging knowledge.
D．It would increase the competition of applying for colleges.
解析：选C 细节理解题。根据第四段的“One of the major disadvantages in the AP system is that every class is shaped for a standardized test. The result is that comprehensive learning is replaced by test preparation ...”可知，作者对于AP系统的忧虑是：它只是为考试做准备的，而不是以教给学生更多的知识为目的。
4．What is the most colleges' attitude to the AP system?
A．Supportive. B．Negative.
C．Uninterested. D．Worried.
解析：选B 观点态度题。根据最后一段的“Many universities now don't consider an AP class in high school can replace an actual undergraduate college?level class ...”可知，现在许多大学认为AP课程无法替代大学阶段的课程，因而可以看出，许多大学对AP课程的态度是消极的。
Ⅱ.语法填空
Hawaii is a unique and unpredictable (不可预测的) place. Perfectly clear conditions can turn stormy __1__ (rapid). So when I learned that I was one of the five disabled athletes who __2__ (select) to compete in the Ironman World Championship in Kona, Hawaii, I knew I had to expect the unexpected.
I was __3__ (surprise) right away during a swim. I always count my strokes (划水次数)，__4__ helps me to imagine the distance I've covered.

I finally crossed the finish line, and when I felt the weight of the medal around my neck, I __10__ (hear) one of the organizers told me, “Michael, congratulations, you are an Ironman.” Well, that feeling of joy was difficult to describe.

课时跟踪练(一) Introduction & Reading — Pre- reading
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Fantasies for young readers really began with the fairy tales of writers such as the Brothers Grimm. Of course, all the children who grow up reading these books and tales never, at heart, really grow up at all, for such wonderful stories are forever carved in their minds. And fairy tales are as much fun to read when we are fifty, only for memorable reasons, as they were when we were children.
But it's obvious these days that fantasies aren't only for the little ones. In 1977, 23 years after The Lord of the Rings by Tolkien was published, Terry Brooks published his first novel, The Sword of Shannara. It became the first work of fiction ever to appear on The New York Times trade paperback bestseller list, where it remained for over five months. Following the release of Tolkien's work, earlier works of fantasy, like T．H. White's The Once and Future King and E．R. Eddison's The Mezentian Gate (in 1958) came out before The Sword of Shannara, but neither had an influence quite like The Sword of Shannara. Fantasies were truly reborn.
As the popularity of fantasies began to grow quickly, the film and television industry climbed_aboard_the_bandwagon. During the 1980s, the fantasy/adventure movie was born. Detective Conan is a classic to the 1980s. Other less memorable films can still be found in video stores. The lack of really good fantasy movies in the recent past can be blamed on substandard (低于标准的) special effects. However, now, in an age of post?modern computer technology, the impossible is no longer a concern. Since the release and popularity of The Lord of the Rings, cinema screen production rights have been purchased for scores of fantasy novels, from Terry Brooks to Robert Jordan.
The future of fantasies has never looked so assured. Even children's cinema has had its own successes through the big screen release of the Harry Potter series and the classic Peter Pan. While there remains a choice to go beyond the reality we know, there will always be fantasies.

“A serious attack on the fantasy story for children comes from those who do not wish children to be frightened.” C. S. Lewis writes in an essay named Three Ways of Writing for Children. Those who say that children must not be frightened mean two things. Firstly, they mean that we mustn't do anything likely to give children fears, and secondly, they want to keep out of their minds that they are born into a world of death, violence, wounds and evil (邪恶). C. S. Lewis says he agrees with the first reason, but not the second.
He goes on to comment, “Since it is so likely that they will meet cruel enemies, let them at least hear of brave fighters and heroic courage. By limiting your child to perfect and nice stories of child life in which nothing alarming ever happens, they would fail to face fears and hardships.”“It would be nice，” he continues, “if no little boy in bed ever hears a frightening sound. But if he is to be frightened, I think St. George, or any bright champion in armor (盔甲), is a better comfort than the idea of the police.”
Bruno Bettelheim, a well?known child psychologist, also points out that fantasy stories provide children with a valuable education about good and evil. He believes that all children have many personal fantasies filled with fears and fantasy stories comfort them and offer solutions. Happy endings tell them that solutions and hope are real and model the kind of happy life children want to find.
A good fantasy suggests rather than teaches possible answers to life. It's believed that reading fantasies quickens the ability to get and put ideas from books to reality. It's what good literature does — it makes life larger.

The Creation of Adam is Michelangelo's fresco (壁画) painted during 1508 to 1512. The painting is based on the Biblical story of creation and presents more than the artist's brave point of view. It might only be a part of the Sistine Chapel ceiling, but something about this painting makes it stand out.
In the painting, Adam is located on the left side in a relaxed fashion, and God is presented as a white?bearded elderly man, God's right arm almost touches Adam's left hand. Here Adam is receiving life directly from God, and through the life given to him — he will, in turn, give life to all humans.
Michelangelo made The Creation of Adam in such a way that the figure of Adam imitates the figure of God. Adam's body is curved (弧形的) as he reaches out to God, taking one's mind to the idea that man is made in similar appearance to God himself. The man's image appears a mirror reflection of God.
In Michelangelo's time, creation scenes were a common subject. But The Creation of Adam broke the rules that were set in the field of art. God has always been thought of as a powerful ruler of mankind. One would expect such a personality to be painted wearing royal clothing and such, but Michelangelo reduced him to a simple old man in simple clothes with most of his body exposed. God is shown to be accessible, touchable, and close to his creation.
There are still many explanations regarding the meaning of the painting. Geographers have considered it to be similar to two lands joined but separated by a huge canal. Scientists have analyzed the picture might symbolize (象征) the birth of mankind. Why did Michelangelo make the hands in that way? Why was a space left between two fingers? It is hard to think about it. This one detail is the entire reason why this painting is famous.
9．The image of God and Adam reaching out to each other symbolizes ________.
A．love to be passed
B．life to be passed
C．the struggle of life
D．equality of humans
解析：选B 细节理解题。根据第二段“Here Adam is receiving life ... give life to all humans.”可知，亚当和上帝将手伸向对方的画面代表着生命的传递。
10．How did Michelangelo paint God in a creative way?
A．He painted God as a poor old man.
B．He painted God as an ordinary man.
C．He described God as a powerful ruler.
D．He made God touched by humans.
解析：选B 推理判断题。根据第四段“Michelangelo reduced him to a simple old man in simple clothes ... accessible, touchable, and close to his creation”可推测，米开朗基罗在画中对上帝进行了创造性的呈现，把他刻画成了普通人。
11．According to the author, what makes the painting so famous?
A．Its location in the Sistine Chapel.
B．Its theme that was commonly used.
C．Its special color that was seldom used.
D．Its secret meaning that is hard to understand.
解析：选 D 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Why did Michelangelo ... is the entire reason why this painting is famous.”可推测，作者认为这幅壁画之所以这么有名，主要在于其意义难以猜透。
12．What is the text mainly about?
A．A Biblical story of creation.
B．The talents of Michelangelo.
C．The value of The Creation of Adam.
D．An introduction to The Creation of Adam.
解析：选D 主旨大意题。本文主要介绍了米开朗基罗的著名壁画作品《创造亚当》的一些细节信息。
