1Module 2 Fantasy Literature Section Ⅰ Introduction Superman produced Clark Kent to disguise his superhuman origin and powers.Superman actually came from another planet, Krypton. Just before Krypton exploded，a scientist named Jor－El placed his infant son in a rocket，launching it to the earth where it landed safely. There he was seen and rescued by an elderly couple, the Kents. They took the baby to their home and brought him up as their son, Clark.A few years passed and one day the family doctor who was examining the boy was amazed to notice his extra－ordinary strength: The doctor's advice was that the family should hide this fact. As a result，Clark grew up hiding his powers. Instead of being known as the man of steel, he became the nervous but handsome Clark Kent, who was known to faint in times of crisis.Batman, another of the superheroes, was actually the fictional identity of Bruce Wayne. Wayne was a millionaire who was able to use his wealth to acquire the power needed to perform superhuman feats. Therefore, unlike Batman and Bruce Wayne, Superman was real and Clark Kent was the fictional identity. Perhaps this is why readers of the comic books quickly accepted this new hero as he battled the forces of evil and injustice.1．The “pre－super” days that the passage refers to were the days before ________.2A. heroes B.

The major factors contributing to the making of this new nation and the forming of a new culture are the hard environment, ethnic diversity(多民族) and plural religion，which is quite different from other nations in the world. What is more, these elements are still influencing the American culture.The early immigrants who were English Puritans settled down in northeast part of America. From 1607 to 1892, frontiers were pushed further west. The frontiersmen looked for a land of rich resources and a land of promise, opportunity and freedom. Actually they looked for a better life. So individualism(个人主义), self－reliance and equality of opportunity have perhaps been the values most closely associated with the frontier heritage(遗产) of America.In history, people from different countries in the world rushed to America three times. They brought their own culture to America and later on different cultures were mixed together. Thus the unique American culture is formed, a common cultural life with commonly shared values.The fundamental American belief in individual freedom and the right of individuals to practice their own religion is at the center of religious experience in the United States. The great diversity of ethnic backgrounds has produced religious pluralism; almost all of the religions of the world are now practiced in the United States.Nowadays, we can see the continual influence of the three elements in the current American society. American family is typically parents and their unmarried children. Middle－aged and elderly people generally do not live with their married children. The people in America have a very strong desire to start a new life in a new place. Quite a number of people change residences every year. The average American moves fourteen times in his lifetime.5．American culture is unique because of the following factors except 3________.A. hard environmentB. ethnic diversityC. plural religionD. advanced modernization答案与解析：D 细节理解题。用排除法。第一段提到美国独特文化形成的主要因素是“hard environment, ethnic diversity(多民族) and plural religion”，而没有提到advanced modernization，故选 D。6．We can learn from this article that ________.A. the frontiersmen left important society values for American cultureB. the early immigrants brought about the unique American cultureC. people in the world once rushed to America because of its unique cultureD. the American family members don't get along well with each other答案与解析：A 细节理解题。由第二段的叙述尤其是最后一句可知，美国的早期移民为美国文化留下了包括“individualism(个人主义)，self－reliance and equality of opportunity”在内的社会价值观(society values)。故选 A。7．What's the author's attitude towards American culture?A. He is critical of it.B. He admires it very much.C. He just states the facts.D. He looks down upon it.答案与解析：C 作者态度推断题。纵观全文可以看出，作者只是客观地叙述了美国独特的文化形成的原因、背景，以及影响当今美国文化的三大因素等，并没有对此作出评论，故选 C。8．The last paragraph is about ________.A. the family structure in American societyB. the influence of the three elements in the current American societyC. the new life style of American familyD. the reason why American people like to change residence答案与解析：B 段意推断题。在该段中，第一句是该段的中心句，全段围绕该句向我们介绍了影响当今美国社会的三大因素。故选 B。9．What might be the most suitable title of this article?A. The Immigrants in AmericaB. Why American Culture is UniqueC. The Influence of American CultureD. Plural Religion and American Culture答案与解析：B 主旨大意题。纵观全文可以看出，文章开篇点题，第一句告诉了文章的主题：American culture is unique because it is formed and developed under certain conditions.然后全文围绕这一主题展开论述，向我们讲述美国独特的文化形成的原因。故选 B。Ⅲ.七选五阅读In order to characterise a work as fantasy literature, I would argue, there are six traits which must be present to some degree: story, common characters, another world, use of magic and the superpower, a clear sense of good and evil, and the quest. __1__The second trait of fantasy literature is that the central characters are of a common nature. In the fantasy tale they might be any one of us and that is precisely the point. We are asked not to stand on the outside and survey this tale. __2__ Thus we find characters quite like ourselves.Even though we may all like to play Superman, in literature it seems that we stand outside the larger－than－life hero. He is well equipped, after all to 4fight his own battles. __3__ But with common characters we recognise their shortcomings, and want to come to their aid. When a character gets knocked down, which occurs frequently, we would like to help—from the safety of our easy chair. Maybe between us we can pull it off.__4__ First, common characters have not lost the childlike trait of wonder, the willingness to engage adventure. Often the characters of fantasy are children, since authors have found in children a universal, common human nature—curiosity to the adult world. The second reason for the use of a common character has to do with heroism. In literary history the hero has often been a figure who acts for us. __5__ The theme in fantasy literature is that anyone may be called on to become the hero.A. Moreover, a story must move through a beginning, a middle and in the process it must move the reader.B. We should enter it so that the story becomes ours.C. He or she stands in our place in the face of danger.D. In fact, we usually know who will win; we're just not certain how.E. Story seeks to free the imagination, to allow it for a time to live in another world.F. There are two other considerations that account for the trait of the common character.G. The point of a fantasy is not to hand us tidy morals, but to provide us with growth by experience.答案：1.A 2.B 3.D 4.F 5.C1Module 2 Fantasy Literature Section Ⅱ GrammarⅠ.用括号内动词的适当形式填空1．________ (not recognize) the voice，he refused to give the person his address.2．________ (be) so angry，he couldn't go to sleep.3．________ (hold) guns, the soldiers rushed out.4．The children went out of the school, ________ (talk) and ________ (laugh)．5．The fish can eat a man in a few minutes, ________ (leave) only the bones.6．________ (walk) along the valley，we came across a large cave.7．________ (not know) his telephone number, I couldn't get in touch with him.8．I ran out of the house ________ (shout)．9．________ (arrive) at the worksite，she found them busy laying bricks.10．When ________ (leave) the airport, they waved again and again to us.答案：1.Not recognizing 2.Being 3.Holding 4.talking; laughing 5.leaving 6.Walking 7.Not knowing8．shouting 9.Arriving 10.leavingⅡ.句型转换1．When he worked in the factory, he was an advanced worker.________________， he was an advanced worker.2．As I didn't know his telephone number，I couldn't get in touch with him.________ ________ his telephone number，I couldn't get in touch with him.3．If you play all day，you will waste your valuable time.________ ________ ________， you will waste your valuable time.4．Though it rained heavily, it cleared up very soon.________ ________ ________， it cleared up very soon.5．As she had been there many times, she knew the place quite well.________________， she knew the place quite well.答案：1.Working in the factory 2.Not knowing3．Playing all day 4.Though raining heavily 5.Having been there many timeⅢ.完形填空Anyone with ears would have to admit that 71－year－old opera singer Luciano Pavarotti, who died last week, could sing. __1__ was he an artist or a pop star?The New York Times called Pavarotti both “a __2__ of pop culture” and “a link to an art form __3__ which many had only a little familiarity”．At 19, Pavarotti could __4__ read music. But that didn't stop him from __5__ the nickname “King of the High Cs” and becoming the “__6__ his generation”．“There were tenors(男高音) and there was Luciano Pavarotti， ” Italian director Franco Zeffirelli told The Guardian newspaper. “He loved music in the most total __7__ of the word. His greatest merit(优点) was __8__ with it totally, from opera to pop.”__9__ singing as one of the Three Tenors, he also took the __10__ with rock stars like Elton John, Sting and Bono. However, some say this was the time __11__ Pavarotti sang the wrong tune.“It's hard to __12__ feeling that he never completely __13__ his potential， ” wrote New York Times critic Anthony Tommasini. He fears Pavarotti 2allowed his manager to __14__ him from a hardworking artist into a spoiled(惯坏的) __15__ foolish superstar sometimes.Maybe the above remarks are __16__. But to put it simply, the man could sing—and still __17__ in hearts, on CDs, records and iPods, and, one __18__， in heaven.“He is so outstanding that he will shame all heavenly choirs， ” __19__ one mourner(悼念者) in __20__ on the New York Times website.1．A.

She busied herself so early in the morning, cleaning the house. She was so tired __1__ she felt pain in her waist and on the back. Drops of sweat fell from her forehead. She did not finish cleaning the house __2__ dusk.__3__ (look) at the clean and tidy drawing room, she released a sigh with a 4smile on her face. The guests were coming! Entering the drawing room, they __4__ (attract) by the fresh flowers. Surprisingly pleased, they cheered in praise, “Oh, what beautiful flowers！”“How colorful and fragrant！”“Just have a look at them, and life is full of pleasure！”Then they went on to express their thanks __5__ the hostess for her __6__ (delicate) arranged flowers.With an embarrassed smile, the hostess said, “I am glad you like them. Thank you for your praise. I was __7__ bit surprised about them. I __8__ make detailed arrangement for your honor. I was busy the whole day cleaning and mopping. As for the flowers in the vase, it is a piece of cake. I did them by just lifting my hand. Now you are __9__ (aware) of my hard work and praise __10__ highly for my easiest effort. It is beyond my expectation.”答案：1.that 2.until/till 3.Looking 4.were attracted 5.to 6.delicately 7.a 8.did 9.unaware10．me1Module 2 Fantasy Literature Section Ⅲ Integrating Skills they create a bond between parents and children.6．A beautiful woman comes out and the king falls ________ love ________ her.7．Mother warned the boys not to associate ________ bad persons.8．The sale of alcohol is restricted ________ people under the age of 18.9．I can't help you—I'm afraid it's not ________ my power.10．Seeing a doctor is a burden ________ a person if he is out of work.答案：1.in 2.of 3.on 4.Without 5.to 6.in; with7．with 8.to 9.within 10.toⅢ.阅读理解A“A serious attack on the fantasy story for children comes from those who do not wish children to be frightened， ” C. S. Lewis writes in an essay named Three Ways of Writing for Children. Those who say that children must not be frightened mean two things. Firstly, they mean that we mustn't do anything likely to give children fears, and secondly, they want to keep out of their minds that they are born into a world of death, violence(暴力), wounds and evil(邪恶). C．S. Lewis says he agrees with the first reason, but not the second.He goes on to comment, “Since it is so likely that they will meet cruel(残酷的) enemies, let them at least hear of brave fighters and heroic courage. By limiting your child to perfect and nice stories of child life in which nothing alarming ever happens, they would fail to face fears and hardships.” “It would be nice， ” he continues, “if no little boy in bed ever hears a frightening sound. But if he is to be frightened, I think St. George, or any bright champion in armor(盔甲), is a better comfort than the idea of the police.”2Bruno Bettelheim, a well－known child psychologist, also points out that fantasy stories provide children with a valuable education about good and evil. He believes that all children have many personal fantasies filled with fears and fantasy stories comfort them and offer solutions. Happy endings tell them that solutions and hope are real and model the kind of happy life children want to find.A good fantasy suggests rather than teaches possible answers to life. It's believed that reading fantasies quickens the ability to get and put ideas from books to reality. It's what good literature does—it makes life larger.1．According to the first paragraph, C. S. Lewis thinks that ________.A. children shouldn't read any fantasy story because it is badB. adults shouldn't do things that may frighten their childrenC. death and badness should be kept out of children's mindsD. writing a fantasy story is the best way of writing for children答案与解析：B 推理判断题。根据第一段的 C. S. Lewis says he agrees with the first reason, but not the second.可知，他同意上面提到的 Firstly, they mean that we mustn't do anything likely to give children fears，由此可知，他认为我们不应该做任何让孩子害怕的事情。故选 B。2．What probably is St. George according to the text?A. He is a policeman in real life.B. He is a murderer caught by the police.C. He is a brave man in a fantasy novel.D. He is a frightening person in a story.答案与解析：C 推理判断题。根据第二段的 But if he is to be frightened, I think St. George, or any bright champion in armor, is a better comfort than the idea of the police.可知， St. George 不是警察也不是令人害怕的人物，而是可以用来安慰孩子的勇敢的幻想小说中的人物。故选 C。3．Why should children read fantasy literature according to Bruno Bettelheim?A. Because it encourages children to have a lot of fantasies.B. Because it helps children overcome fears and find solutions.C. Because it teaches children to write their own fantasy stories.D. Because it gives children a happy memory when they grow up.答案与解析：B 细节理解题。根据第三段的 He believes that all children have many personal fantasies filled with fears and fantasy stories comfort them and offer solutions. 可知选 B。4．It can be inferred from the last paragraph that ________.A. literature can give readers more frightening storiesB. fantasies can improve one's ability to solve problemsC. personal fantasies can help children get away from dangerD. most children can understand what fantasy literature is答案与解析：B 推理判断题。根据最后一段可知，作者认为幻想文学可以帮助孩子解决问题。故选 B。5．What does the writer think of reading fantasy stories?A. It's necessary and helpful.B. It's harmful and helpless.C. It's useless but enjoyable.D. It's frightening but exciting.答案与解析：A 推理判断题。根据最后一段以及作者引用的其他人的话可知，作者认为读幻想故事是有必要的、有益的。故选 A。B3Beijing is the most beautiful city in China and Hong Kong the safest and second most beautiful, according to a study by the China Institute of City Competitiveness.The capital came in ahead of 558 other mainland cities and the two SARs(特别行政区), with a score of 0.756 points out of one for its impressive historical monuments and tourist attractions. Gui Qiangfang, the institute's chairman, said, “The capital has a rich history and culture, which have been key to its development.” The assessment took into consideration the cities' urban design, infrastructure, architecture, culture and natural beauty.Factors including the preservation of historical monuments, forest coverage, air quality, the transportation network, city life, public space and GDP were also considered. Hong Kong, which ranked second with 0.666 points, won praise for its skyscrapers, Victoria Harbor and the development of its service industry. Shenzhen took third spot with 0.664 points, scoring highly for its role as the pioneer of China's opening up and reform policies. Shanghai finished fourth with 0.663 points for being the country's financial center.In the voting for the safest city, which assessed the social, economic and ecological(生态的) development, Hong Kong came first with 0.849 points. In this category, the cities' crime rates, stability of financial policies, authority of the government, industrial accident rate, food safety and pollution situation, were considered. The institute said Hong Kong had low crime, and the number of work－related casualties(伤亡) is only 18.4 per 1,000 workers last year.Shanghai ranked second in the safest city poll with 0.712 points, followed by Nanjing with 0.666 points. The institute said Shanghai is developing a harmonious society ahead of the 2010 World Expo.6．Why was Beijing voted for the most beautiful city in China?A. Because it is the capital city.B. Because it has a rich history and culture.C. Because it develops fastest.D. Because it is the most harmonious city in China.答案与解析：B 因果推断题。由文章第二段第二句“Gui Qiangfang, the institute's chairman, said, ‘The capital has a rich history and culture, which have been the key to its development. ’可知，北京悠久的历史和浓厚的文化底蕴是它获得一这称号的重要原因。 ”7．Hong Kong was voted for the safest city because of the following EXCEPT ________.A. ecological developmentB. tourist attractionsC. low crime rateD. low industrial accident rate答案与解析：B 细节判断题。由文章第四段内容可知，文中提到了 A、C、D 项，唯独没有提到 B 项“旅游业” 。8．________ ranked third in the safest city poll.A. Shanghai B. ShenzhenC. Guangzhou D. Nanjing答案与解析：D 细节推断题。由文章最后一段中“Shanghai ranked second in the safest city poll with 0.712 points，followed by Nanjing with 0.666 points.”可知，上海名列第二，紧随其后的是南京，所以南京名列第三。9．The best title for the passage would be “________” ．A.
