【解析】这个对话就拉链这一样发明为何伟大进行了简单的讨论。

1句意:乐意效劳。前句是在问“你能帮帮我….?”这里表示同意,使用情景交际中的常用表达“With pleasure”来表示“乐意效劳”,故这里填pleasure。

2句意:它真的是一个伟大的发明吗?这里是Paul的发问,从前面的“The zipper?”表示他想要在核实一下到底是不是“拉链”,所以问“它真的是一个伟大的发明吗?故这里填really。

3句意:想想它在我们日常生活中的使用频率。“in our daily lives”表示“在我们的日常生活中”,故这里填daily。

4句意:不同发明的领先者都被在那里列出来了。这里是说Jenny发现的网站上列出了发明的开拓者、先锋,而且不止一种,故这里填复数名词pioneers。

5句意:它提到拉链是由Whitcomb Judson1893年发明的。“be invented by…”表示“由发明”,这里是在用这个短语引出拉链的发明者,故填invented。

【题目】 Read the passage carefully and answer the questions according what you’ve read.

The Book Thief was written by the Australian author Markus Zusak and it has been his most popular work. Published (出版) in 2005, it has become an international bestseller and been translated into several languages. In 2013, it was adapted into a film of the same name.

Are you wondering who the“book thief”is? It was Liesel Meminger, a 12-year-old girl living in Germany during World War II. While the Nazis were creating horrors (恐怖) all around, Liesel came across something that she couldn’t give up: books. She stole books that belonged to the mayor’s (市长的) wife, as well as books that the Nazis wanted to destroy.

A Jewish man named Max inspired Liesel’s love for books. Liesel’s family hides Max in their house. He developed a close relationship with Liesel and taught her to read in secret. Soon, Liesel realized the power of words. She not only stole books, but also wrote her own stories.

“It is not the kind of story that has you crying one moment and laughing the next,” as The Guardian reported. Instead, the sadness of Liesel’s story interests you. It makes you realize that such kinds of things have happened to many other people. And it makes you think a lot.
