【解析】
阅读的时候我们似乎进入了一个新的世界,这个新的世界可能与我们生活的世界相似,也可能是不同的。读书像写作一样,是一种行为,是一种思考的方法。
【1】D上文中有similar“相似”,or提醒我们应选与similar意义相反的词different。
【2】D句意:有些故事讲起来似乎就是真的。told用在被动语态中,因而后面不可跟宾语从句,应该是方式状语从句,故选D项。
【3】B句意:生活在正常世界的现实的人做实际的事,故选B。usual“通常的”;normal“正常的”;certain“确定的”;common“共同的;常见的”。
【4】A句意:有些故事则不是真实的(realistic)。此处与上文对比。
【5】B句意:这些故事中的人和动物与我们不同,他们能做对我们来说是不可能的(impossible)事。
【6】C此处指甚至现实的作品也只是想象出来的(imagined)。thinkable“能想到的,可相信的”;designed“有计划的,愿意的”;planned“计划的”。
【7】A句意:我们似乎确实了解了真实的世界。do表示强调,意为“确实,务必,一定”。
【8】D句意:当哈里在霍格沃兹学习魔法时,他对自己现实生活的了解也比对魔法(magic)的了解要多。
【9】B句意:读书像写作一样,是一种行为,是一种思考(thinking)的方法。
【10】A上文提到读书,由此可知此处指利用我们所学到的知识(knowledge)。
【11】C句意:现实和幻想用(use)读书和写作的想象力和魅力使我们去思考。
【12】B句意:当我们读到某些现实的东西(something)时,我们就不得不去想象我们所读到的有关的人就像我们一样。
【13】C句意:即使我们知道(know)我们是现实的而他们不是。
【14】B句意参考上题。考查上下文联系。此处是把我们和书中的人物进行对比。
【15】C此处与it works为转折关系,指这种对比有些奇怪(strange)。
【16】D句意:我们读书的时候,可以把丢失的信息补充起来而且会思考(think)一个人所做事情的影响和起因。
【17】B句意:我们只有通过假装(pretending)我们所读到的东西就像真正的生活一样来给作家一些帮助。
【18】A和思考有关的是头脑(mind)。
【19】D根据eager to find out what will happen next可知此处指陶醉在精彩的故事中。lose oneself in 意为“埋头于,陶醉于”。
【20】C句意:读书时如果知道我们的感受如何的话,那将有助于我们成为更好的读者。根据语境可知此处是时间状语从句,所以选择when。
