When we read books we seem to enter a new world. This new world can be similar to the one we are living in, or it can be very      . Some stories are told       they were true. Real people who live in a       world do real things; in other words, the stories are about people just like us doing what we do. Other stories, such as the Harry Potter books, are not       . They are characters and creatures that are very different from us and do things that would be       for us.

But there is more to books and writing than this. If we think about it, even realistic writing is only     . How can we tell the difference between what is real and what is not real? For example, when we read about Harry Potter, we       seem to learn something about the real world. And when Harry studies magic at Hogwarts, he also learns more about his real life than      . Reading, like writing, is an action. It is a way of      . When we read or write something, we do much more than simple look at words on a page. We use our       -- which is real-- and our imagination-- which is real in a different way --- to make the words come to life in our minds.

　　Both realism and fantasy(幻想)       the imagination and the “magic” of reading and writing to make us think. When we read       realistic, we have to imagine that the people we are reading about are just like us, even though we       that we are real and they are     . It sounds       , but it works. When we read, we fill in missing information and     about the causes and effects of what a character does. We help the writer by       that what we read is like real life. In a way, we are writing the book, too.

　　Most of us probably don’t think about what is going on in our       when we are reading. We pick up a book and lose       in a good story, eager to find out what will happen next. Knowing how we feel       we read can help us become better readers, and it will help us discover more about the real magic of books.

试题分析：

作者认为，阅读小说与写作一样，是一个思考的过程、一个再创作的过程。我们会根据自己的现实生活经历增补小说中没有的信息，解读小说人物言行的前因后果。最后作者建议人们阅读时要了解自己的感受，这样可以让自己成为一个更好的读者，更多地发现书籍中真正的魅力。

1.上文中有similar，or提示选择与similar意义相反的词different. 故D项正确。A. possible：可能的；B. easy: 容易的； C. new: 新的。A,B,C三项不合题意。

2.be told为被动语态，因而后面接的不是宾语从句而是方式状语从句。排除A，B, C三项。句子意思是：有些故事写得跟真的一样。as if / though: 似乎、好像。故D项正确。

3.正常社会中真实的人们做真实的事情。normal指“符合常态或一般的标准”即“形态正常”。A. usual: 指时间上的“惯常性”。C. certain: 某个；确定的；D. common指“常见性”。故B项正确。

4.上文说到，有些故事写的就是一些与我们一样的人与我们做着同样的事。此处说，有些故事则是非现实的。realistic: 现实的。故A项正确。B. reasonable: 合理的；C. moral: 道德的；D. instructive: 有指导意义的。均不合题意。

5.A. difficult：困难的；B. impossible: 不可能的；C. important: 重要的；D. necessary: 必须的、必要的。这些故事中的人和动物与我们不同，他们能做我们做不到的事。故B项正确。

6.A. thinkable: 可想象的；B. designed: 设计好的； C. imagined: 想象出来的；D. planned: 计划好的。虽然故事有现实和非现实之分，但都是“虚构”的。故C项正确。

7.do用来加强语气。故A项正确。

8.即使阅读《哈利波特》这样的非现实主义小说，我们似乎也能读到现实世界的东西。而哈利波特即使在学习魔术时，他对自己现实生活的了解也多于他对“魔术”的了解。A. lesson: 课、课文。B. dream: 梦想；C. experience: 经验； D. magic: 魔术。故D项正确。

9.A. work: 工作； B. think: 思考； C. live: 生活、生存； D. understand: 理解。文章第三段　Both realism and fantasy(幻想) use the imagination and the “magic” of reading and writing to make us think. 一句提示此处填thinking. 故B项正确。

10.A. knowledge: 知识；B. skill: 技能；C. word: 字词；D. grammar: 语法。用我们的知识（真实存在的或现有的）和想象（另一种真实）使得文字在我们的脑海中鲜活起来。故A项正确。

11.A. make: 制造； B. get: 得到； C. use: 使用； D. have: 拥有。无论现实主义的还是非现实主义的作品，都“运用”想象及阅读和写作的魅力让读者进行思考。故选择C项。

12.阅读现实主义作品时，虽然我们明知小说人物不是真实存在的，我们还是会下意识地认为他们是和我们一样的人。因形容词realistic后置，要求选择something. 故B项正确。

13.我们“知道”我们是真实的存在。这个简单的事实无需了解（learn）也无需发现（find）。故选择C项。

14.我们是真实的，而小说人物“不是”。选择B项。

15.A. dangerous: 危险的； B. serious: 严厉的、认真的。 C. strange：奇怪的； D. terrible: 可怕的。虽然我们明知小说人物不是真实存在的，我们还是会下意识地认为他们是和我们一样的人。这听起来很“奇怪”，但情况就是这样的。故C项正确。

16.A. talk: 交谈；B. learn: 学习； C. read: 阅读；D. think: 思考。阅读过程中，我们会填补小说中没有的信息，“思考”小说人物所作所为的前因后果。故D项正确。

17.A. tell: 告诉；B. pretend: 假装；C. promise: 承诺； D. guess：猜测。虽然我们明知我们读的东西是虚构的，但我们还是“假定”我们读到的与现实生活是一样的。于是我们在阅读的同时也是在“帮着”作者创作，增补信息、思考因果。选择B项

18.A. mind: 脑海；B. life: 生活；C. world: 世界； D. society: 社会。多数人阅读时对自己大脑中的上述活动是无意识的。A项正确。

19.A. heart: 心脏； B. time: 时间； C. money: 金钱； D. ourselves: 我们自己。lose oneself in sth. 沉湎于……之中。故D项正确。

20.了解自己“阅读时”的感受，有助于我们成为更好的读者。选择C项。
