【題目】 Are you a bookworm? Is your head permanently stuck in a book? 【1】 There are many benefits to reading. Getting into a good novel improves our literacy. But who or what encourages us to pick up a book and start reading?

Of course, when we are young, our parents and teachers inspire us by introducing us to characters that we love or hate. As a child, I loved books written by Roald Dahl, such as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and The Twits. 【2】 They are popular with children even today, despite competition from contemporary authors.

One modern-day children's author is J. K. Rowling, who's known for her books about the wizard, Harry Potter. 【3】 The UK's National Literacy Trust awarded her the title for “turning a generation of children into readers”.

【4】 It can also help people in difficult circumstances. The author Pat Winslow worked as a writer in prisons and found reading and discussing stories helped prisoners reflect on their patterns of behavior. She says, “very often we would have discussions about the moral compass of a character. What was the motivation of somebody? Why did they behave that way?”

Today I like to read factual books such as biographies, where you get an insight into the lives of important and well-known people. I also enjoy looking at travel books and learning about journeys and new destinations. 【5】

But the main benefit of reading is the improvement it brings to our literacy. The more we do it, the better we get and who knows—one day you may become the next Tolstoy, Jackie Collins or even William Shakespeare.

A.If so, that's a good thing for you.

B.It's a good substitute if you can't visit in person.

C.Good writing can really capture our imagination.

D.Reading books is more than an enjoyable leisure time.

E.These fictional stories were funny, twisted and slightly evil.

F.Who are your favorite authors and which are your favorite books?

G.She was named as a “l(fā)iteracy hero” for improving people's love of reading.

【答案】

【1】A

【2】E

【3】G

【4】D

【5】B

【解析】

這是一篇說明文。文章主要講述閱讀帶來的好處。

【1】空格前面是兩個一般疑問句，向讀者發(fā)出提問，空格后面一句是，閱讀有很多好處，那空格處需要承上啟下，A. If so, that's a good thing for you.如果是這樣，那對你來說是一件好事情，前半句回應(yīng)了那兩個問句，后半句為什么是好事情況呢，正好引出了空格的后一句，因?yàn)殚喿x有很多好處。所以選A項(xiàng)

【2】空格后一句，出現(xiàn)代詞“They”說明空格處也應(yīng)該是復(fù)數(shù)而且空格前一句“I loved books written by Roald Dahl, such as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and The Twits.”我喜歡羅爾德·達(dá)爾寫的書，比如查理、巧克力工廠和小樹枝。是介紹了幾本我喜愛的書，所以空格處依舊是要寫這幾本書有關(guān)的東西，故E項(xiàng)“這些虛構(gòu)的故事情節(jié)有趣的、扭曲的，還有點(diǎn)邪惡”切題。故選E項(xiàng)。

【3】空格前一句是介紹“J. K. Rowling” ，空格后是英國國家文學(xué)給她頒獎，因此空格處還是要圍繞她來說，故G選項(xiàng) “她因提高人們對閱讀的熱愛而被稱為 “掃盲英雄” 切題。故選G項(xiàng)。

【4】空格后一句話是“It can also help people in difficult circumstances.”它也幫助處在困難的人，說明空格處是講的好事，同時也要與“difficult circumstances”呼應(yīng)，故D項(xiàng)“讀書不僅僅是一個愉快休閑的時光”切題。故選D項(xiàng)

【5】空格前主要講了作者喜歡看比如像自傳的一些書，在這些書里可以看到名人的生活。同時作者也喜歡看一些旅游的書并且了解旅行和新的地方。這些都是作者不能親自體驗(yàn)的，是作者通過閱讀來體會的，結(jié)合選項(xiàng)，故B項(xiàng)“如果你不能親自前往，它也會是一個很好的替代物”切題。故選B項(xiàng)。

七選五的解題技巧之一是根據(jù)上下文詞匯來鎖定線索。即文中要關(guān)注前空后的代詞。在本文中，第2小題空格后的“they”，均與上下文或選項(xiàng)中有相呼應(yīng)的詞語。

【題目】 Jim Denevan is an amazing artist whose work is admired by all, but owned by none — that’s because all of Jim’s art is created on an unusual canvas (畫布) — the soft sand. He sometimes spends days working on a piece, only to see it washed away by the sea or a storm and that is just the way he likes it.

Denevan discovered his artistic talents about ten years ago, when he was wandering aimlessly on the beach with a stick. He ended up drawing a 12-foot-long fish. Since then, Jim has traveled over 1,800 miles while creating over 600 pieces of sand art.

Over the years, his drawings have become bigger, but the tools he uses haven’t changed — All he needs is a stick, a garden rake (耙) and most importantly, his lively imagination!

Just like any good artist, Jim is quite particular about the “quality” of his canvas, sometimes walking for miles, in search of perfect sand. His latest piece of work, which is also the world’s largest freelance (自由職業(yè)的) drawing, was created in the desert sands of Nevada. It took Jim three trips, eight days and over 100 miles of walking to create this 3-mile work of art. It took the storm just one night to destroy it! However, Jim says he actually enjoys watching the waves or rain wash his paintings away.

Jim’s art has become very popular over the years and was even the topic of a documentary named “Sandman” in 2005. Jim Denevan is not just about art in the sand — he is also an excellent cook and founder of an organization called “Outstanding in the Field”, whose motto (座右銘) is to celebrate food at its source. Accordingly, group dining events are held outdoors on farms, with the diners being treated to a delicious meal. The events, which are held in different farms throughout America, are always sold out the minute the schedule is announced.

【1】What do we know about Denevan?

A.He used to be a cook.

B.He has a gift for creating sand art.

C.He puts his work on show regularly.

D.He showed artistic talents at a very young age.

【2】What can we learn from the text?

A.Denevan walks a lot to complete his work.

B.It is not hard for Denevan to find suitable sand.

C.It takes a long time for the storm to destroy Denevan’s work.

D.Denevan is very particular about his drawing tools.

【3】What does Denevan enjoy about his work according to the text?

A.Walking a long distance.B.Waiting for the storm to come.

C.Looking for a suitable canvas.D.Watching nature destroy his work.

【4】Which of the following can best describe Denevan?

A.Generous.B.Open-minded.

C.Imaginative.D.Traditional.

【題目】 There are plenty of things to do while at home, from watching heartwarming TV to indoor fitness, but if you want to do something with the whole family, a board game is the perfect activity.

Telestrations

It is like a combination of the whisper game Telephone and Pictionary. Players draw a word and pass their sketch to the player next to them, who writes down the word they think the first player draws. The next player draws the word the previous player writes down, and the game continues in this way until the final drawing or description comes out wildly different from the original one. It is most popular among kids.

Catan

A slightly more involved game than Risk or Monopoly, Catan, previouly known as Settlers of Catan or Settlers, has become popular in the past decade or so beyond board game enthusiasts. In the game, which has many expansions available if you get bored with the original, players become “settlers”, each trying to build up individual settlements while trading resources. The bigger your settlement, the more points, and the first to a set number wins.

Ticket to Ride

It is an easy-to-understand game that is about something as simple as trains. Players use colored train cars that they are able to obtain by collecting cards of the same color to create train routes across a map of the U. S. Expansion packs have many other maps to choose from. Bigger train routes give you more points, as do building the routes shown on the secret ticket cards you draw at the beginning of the game.

Lords of Waterdeep

This board game from the makers of Dungeons Dragons is definitely more complex but is one of the most enjoyable games once you understand all the rules. Beautifully designed in fantasy style, Waterdeep is a “worker placement game”, in which players use agents to gather resources to complete quests, which generate victory points. Whoever has the most at the end of the game wins.

【1】In which of the following board games is drawing needed?

A.Telestrations.

B.Catan.

C.Ticket to Ride.

D.Lords of Waterdeep.

【2】Who will be the winner in Catan?

A.The one becoming the first settler.

B.The one getting needed points first.

C.The one gathering the most resources.

D.The one creating the most train routes.

【3】What do the four board games have in common?

A.They have many expansions.

B.They ask players to get points.

C.They involve more than one player.

D.They are easy to understand and play.
