課時跟蹤檢測（一） Introduction & Reading Pre-reading閱讀理解A“A serious attack on the fantasy story for children comes from those who do not wish children to be frightened.” CS. 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 mustnt 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 (暴力), wounds and evil (邪惡). CS. 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 (殘酷的) 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 wellknown 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. Its believed that reading fantasies quickens the ability to get and put ideas from books to reality. Its what good literature does it makes life larger.語篇解讀：本文作者反駁了一些反對兒童閱讀奇幻文學(xué)的錯誤觀點(diǎn)，并強(qiáng)調(diào)了閱讀奇幻文學(xué)的必要性。1According to the first paragraph, CS.

It was a rather boring programme. I was more interested to read an article about someone who found a bottle on a beach with a message inside. Like the drift bottles, it had been thrown into the sea but 21 years before. I decided to find out more about such bottles, and I started work on this intriguing (非常有趣的) research.An early message in a bottle was thrown into the sea by Christopher Columbus during a terrible storm. He wrote about his discovery of America and expected that his message would be sent to the Queen of Spain. He wanted the news to reach her, but he thought he might be drowned (淹死) in the storm. In fact, he survived but the bottle was never found.I would be excited to find a message in a bottle, but in the 16th century, it could be dangerous. In those days, the British Navy (海軍) used messages in bottles to send information about the enemy. When Queen Elizabeth found out that a boatman had opened a bottle containing one of these secret messages, she created a new job, Uncorker of Ocean Bottles. I was amazed to learn that anyone else who opened a bottle could be sentenced to death. It seems very strange to us now.A long time ago, before dating websites existed to help people find partners, a sailor in Sweden put this message in a bottle “To someone beautiful and far away.” It was found by a young woman in Sicily. She answered the message “I am not beautiful, but it seems a miracle (奇跡) I found your message.” They began to write letters to each other, and eventually got married.Nowadays its easy to communicate with anyone anywhere in the world, but I think people will still go on throwing bottles with messages into the ocean and guessing where the winds and the waves will carry them. And how romantic it would be to find a bottle with a message inside!語篇解讀：漂流瓶是人們穿越廣闊大海進(jìn)行交流的一種有趣的交流方式。投進(jìn)大海的漂流瓶不知道將漂向何方、被何人撿到，充滿著未知的神秘氣息。4Why did the author do some research on bottles thrown into the sea?AHe had found a message in one.BHe had read an article about one.CHe had to do a project on them at college.DHe had watched a TV programme about them.解析：選B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第一段中的“I was more interested to read an article about someone . I decided to find out more about such bottles”可知，作者讀到一篇關(guān)于21年前被扔到海里的漂流瓶被發(fā)現(xiàn)的故事后對漂流瓶產(chǎn)生了極大的興趣，從而開始了對漂流瓶的研究工作。5Christopher Columbus put a message into a bottle to _.Astudy ocean currentsBreport his discoveryCask for rescueDtry his luck解析：選B推理判斷題。由第二段中的“He wrote about his discovery of America . He wanted the news to reach her”可知，哥倫布在信上寫下他發(fā)現(xiàn)了美洲，希望這一信息能送到西班牙女王手上。6Why did the young woman in Sicily reply to the Swedish sailors message?AShe wanted to have a pen friend.BShe felt she fitted his description.CShe failed to access a dating website.DShe was impressed by the bottles journey.解析：選D推理判斷題。由倒數(shù)第二段中的“I am not beautiful, but it seems a miracle (奇跡) I found your message”可知，西西里島的這位年輕女子認(rèn)為她能撿到來自瑞典水手的漂流瓶是一個奇跡。CRobert Frost (18741963) is one of Americas most beloved poets. He was a contemporary of many modernist poetic movements, but he wasnt associated (與有聯(lián)系) with any particular group of poets. He stuck to his own literary beliefs, and as a result, he attracted a good deal of criticism from the literary world. But, it is just because he was such a person and his voice was so original that Frost became so beloved. If you are to choose one of his poems and read it aloud on a busy street, we are sure that many people will recognize the poem immediately as Frosts.Mending Wall, which is the first poem in North of Boston, Frosts second book of poetry, is one of his most popular poems. It is a poem about two neighbors who fix a rock wall that lies between their homes. “I” want to destroy the wall, and the “neighbor” wants to leave it standing.We just cant get enough of walls, can we? People love boundaries (界線). We love them when were little, protecting our precious toys from our troublesome (令人煩惱的) brothers and sisters. As we get older, we begin to throw around the gentle term “personal space”， as in “GET OUT OF MY ROOM！” In college, we really learn how the idea of “My house is your house” doesnt always result in happy roommate relationships. After we become adults with good jobs and a lot of cool things, we often put up fences, gates, walls, or doors to protect our stuff and keep the peace.Walls help us protect ourselves, but their downside is that they often keep people from communicating with each other. Mending Wall makes us take a look at how we use our walls and boundaries, and why we use them the way we do. This poem sends a wakeup call to the universe.There are walls between our hearts.語篇解讀：本文是一篇詩歌評論。文章介紹了美國著名詩人
