Question

【题目】根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。，选项中有两项为多余选项。

Everyone needs a break, and vacations are not meant for serious study. 【1】 The Spring Festival is coming up so this is the perfect time to discuss some great English language literature to take on a long train journey.

Before getting into the recommendations, you need to determine your English reading comprehension level. If you’re at the beginner level, there are two options: reading a children’s book or reading a book that you’ve read in Chinese translation. 【2】If you’re at the intermediate level, popular books like pop fiction, mysteries and thrillers are good options. For advanced readers, classic works of literature or modern prize winners (Nobel, Pulitzer) are good options.

【3】 When I pick up a book I like, even though the first few chapters are really hard to get through, I would try to get accustomed to the language the author uses. Generally, after the first few chapters, things get a lot easier, especially if I get involved in the story.

Another great way to keep yourself motivated is to find a friend who’s interested in reading the same book. You can make goals that you both want to achieve. 【4】

Some quick recommendations: Harry Potter, start with the first book and go on from there; the Narnia series; anything by US writer Michael Crichton; and if you like horror, US writer Stephen King is always unusual and fun. 【5】 Happy reading!

A. If you pick a book which is so challenging, it will be too stressful.

B. The most important thing is to pick a book that you’re really interested in.

C. You may also enjoy your reading when hanging out with your family.

D. You should just find a topic or author you’re interested in, and the rest will go from there.

E. You can also discuss plot lines or vocabulary issues with each other by SMS or e-mail.

F. Instead, they’re a great way to take a break and enjoy a good book.

G. This will help you get over any unfamiliar words or phrases, since you’re already familiar with the story.

1.根据上下文的语境来确定选项。一般在空格的上一句或下一句，也许是上、下句中会有暗示。比如第40.小题5 D上文提到了Harry Potter, the Narnia series, Michael Crichton, Stephen King 都是推荐读的书目及作者，而且也提到了horror，这是一个topic，都包括在D项内，所以D项正确。

2.根据常识解题。比如第37小题G根据常识可知读者读过中译本，则会be familiar with the story, 故选G项。
