15.Writing a book review is not like writing a fiction,where you have your freedom to express any type of literary mood.Here,you are limited within the scope,which is related only to the book or the literature and nothing else.To write a proper literary review,you should follow some important dos and don'ts,which are discussed here.Top 3dos
Select a literature of your choice and read it thoroughly.If required,you should read it multiple times,before you really frame up the literary review in your mind.While reading,try to assimilate the thoughts and philosophy of the author behind the book and also to analyze all the characters and events described in the literary piece.Start to pen down your literary analysis only when you have a complete understanding of the book,and not before that.
Prepare your write-up based on your understanding of the book.Since you are reviewing the book,your opinion plays an important role here.If you prefer any particular character or any particular instance from the book,then expose that character or the situation in your review,to give it more importance.Also determine your preference with supporting logic.Ultimately it is your understanding of the book,and it can differ from others'viewpoint.But you should stick to your opinion.
Follow a proper format to construct your book review.It should have a proper introduction and a conclusion,other than the usual subject body.Distribute the subject body in chapters and paragraphs,to give a nice,structured look.Also,add a list of reference material at the end of the book.A structured material always carries a good impression and also,it helps the reader to go through the article at ease.
Top 3don'ts
Book reviews are not exactly meant for writing a summary on the books.The objective of writing a book review is to arouse the curiosity in the mind of the readers.If someone mentions everything in the summary then the actual intention is lost.
As mentioned earlier,one should not cross your limit to write a literary review.Do not bring up unnecessary topics to increase the length of the write-up,which is not at all related to the book.The readers want to learn about the book and not something irrelevant.Also,a smart and crisp writing helps to create a positive impression.
You can go through reference books or articles on your subject,before you start preparing your article.But that should be completely with the intention of getting help in your understanding of the book.These reference items will help to strengthen your grip on the subject.But,you should never copy a single line of text from any other document or write-up.Plagiarism(剽窃),in any form,is a punishable offence by law.It will also destroy your reputation and close all the future avenues in this field.
If you can follow the above dos and don'ts religiously to write a book review,then it is going to be more original and interesting.

分析 本文属于说明文阅读,作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了如何写书评,要仔细阅读,表达自己的意见,坚持自己的观点以及按照正确的格式来构建你的书评;不要把摘要写到文学评论中,不要用不必要的话题来增加文章的长度,可以使用有关主题的参考书或文章,但不要剽窃.
解答 70.C.词义猜测题.文中的assimilate是与thoughts和philosophy搭配,同时句中与之并列的动词是analyze,表明这里的意思是要深入理解作者的想法并加以分析,四个选项的意思分别是"激励"、"使丰富/肥沃"、"消化/理解"、"提高/加强",故选C.
71.D.细节理解题.根据文章第五段"The objective of writing a book review is to arouse the curiosity in the mind of the readers."可知写一本书的目的是唤起读者心中的好奇心,具有迷惑性的是C,C选项关键错在"on irrelevant topics;故选D.
72.B.推理判断题.根据文章第二段"Start to pen down your literary analysis only when you have a complete understanding of the book,and not before that."可知文中建议在完全理解书的内容后再写分析,不要提前写,当然也不是边看边写,所以B错误.故选B.
73.A.推理判断题.本题是要找出不属于"三不要"的建议.其实这题不用看原文只看选项就能锁定答案,因为BCD选项讲的都是不好的方式,只有A选项讲的是好的方式,换句话说A选项是属于建议大家写读后感是要做的事,故选A.
