奇幻文学不仅是孩子们的最爱也让成年人爱不释手。读下面的文章,了解奇幻文学的历史和现状。The very first recorded literary works in history were fantasy: Homers Odyssey,The Book of a Thousand nights and a Night and countless others.Modern literature forms are based on them.Fantasy is particularly the only form of literature that has no clear boundaries between adult fiction and childrens fiction.Lewis Carrolls books Alices Adventure in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass, for instance, were published over 100 years ago.The books were in fact written for a childthe original Alice, who was the daughter of a friend of Carrolls.However, they are just as often read by adults looking for an escape back to a simple time.A more modern example is JK.Rowlings Harry Potter series, which have caused a revolution in the publishing world.While these again are aimed at a youth market,they have become a fashion for people of all ages.Recently, fantasy has enjoyed popularity,the main reason for the popularity is the success of The Lord of the Rings series of films.Fantasy novel sales have benefited from social change,with the original The Lord of the Rings novels,the Harry Potter series becoming a force on bestseller lists.Even more recently,a work of historical fantasy,Dan Browns The Da Vinci Code, has caught the imagination of the world.The novel was on top of The New York Times hardcover fiction bestseller list on April 11,2005.It is clear that fantasy is showing no signs of reducing in popularity.阅读障碍词1boundary n边界2popularity n. 流行3hardcover adj. 精装的诱思导读1What is the very first recorded literary works in history?Fantasy.2What do you think of fantasy literatures future?It will continuously enjoy popularity.Section Warming Up,Prereading & Reading.匹配下列单词的词性及汉语意思()1.behaveAn.渴望()2.hesitate B. n怀疑()3.doubt Cn.方向()4.direction Dn.惊慌,恐慌()5.bite En.形状()6.longing Fv.表现,举动()7.arch Gv.犹豫,迟疑()8.alarm Hv.咬,咬伤()9.shape Iv.拱起,成弓形()10.roughly Jadv.大概地,粗略地答案15FGBCH610AIDEJ.选择下列句中词组的汉语意思A在中起重要作用B放下C伸出D朝走过来E走开F向扩展G注视,盯着看H四处寻找1As is known to all, nowadays the Internet is playing an important part in our daily life. 2When he saw the policeman coming up to him, he felt a little nervous. 3She held out her hand, touched the cloth and found it was smooth. 4When we find someone in trouble, we shouldnt turn away. 5Dont keep your eyes on the screen too long, its bad for your eyes. 6When you stopped eating, you should put down the knife and fork. 7When John heard the good news, a wave of excitement swept over him. 8Mr.Lee is looking around for his pet dog now.If you see it, please call him at this number. 答案15ADCEG68BFHThe Cat That VanishedWill was stupefied(神志不清的) with exhaustion(疲惫), and he might have gone on to the north, or he might have laid his head on the grass under one of those trees and slept; but as he stood trying to clear his head, he saw a cat.消失的猫威尔累得脑子都木了,他本可以继续向北走,也有可能在某棵树下头枕草地昏昏睡去;但是,正当他站在那儿,尽力让头脑清醒些的时候,他看见了一只猫。助读讲解此处as引导时间状语从句,as意为“当时候”;trying to .为现在分词短语作伴随状语。She was a tabby(斑猫), like Moxie. She padded(悄悄行走) out of a garden on the Oxford side of the road, where Will was standing. Will put down his shopping bag and held out his hand, and the cat came up to rub her head against his knuckles(掌指关节),just as Moxie did. Of course, every cat behaved like that, but all the same Will felt such a longing to turn for home that tears scalded(热泪盈眶) his eyes.那是一只母斑猫,就像莫克西一样。它轻轻地走出靠着牛津一侧街道上的一个花园,威尔正站在街的那一侧。威尔放下他的购物袋,伸出手,那只猫跑过来用头在他的指关节上磨蹭,正如莫克西所做的那样。当然,所有猫都是那样的。尽管如此,威尔还是渴望回家,以至于热泪充满了他的双眼。助读讲解此处where引导非限制性定语从句。此处such . that .引导结果状语从句,其中such修饰a longing。Eventually this cat turned away. This was night, and there was a territory to patrol(巡逻), there were mice to hunt.She padded across the road and towards the bushes just beyond the hornbeam(角树) trees, and there she stopped.Will, still watching, saw the cat behave curiously.最终,这只猫转身走开了。正值夜晚,它要巡视自己的领地,还要捕捉老鼠。它蹑手蹑脚地穿过马路,朝着角树林另一边的灌木丛走去,然后在那儿停了下来。威尔继续注视着,他看到那只猫举动异常。She reached out a paw(爪子) to pat(轻拍) something in the air in front of her, something quite invisible to Will. Then she leapt backwards, back arched and fur on end, tail held out stiffly(僵硬地).Will knew catbehaviour. He watched more alertly(警觉地) as the cat approached the spot again, just an empty patch(小块) of grass between the hornbeams and the bushes of a garden hedge(灌木), and patted the air once more.它伸出爪子去拍它面前空气中的某种东西,某种威尔看不见的东西。然后它向后一跃,脊背拱起,毛发竖立,尾巴僵直地伸着。威尔了解猫的习性。他更加警觉地观察着那只猫,只见它再次靠近那个地方角树与花园树篱的灌木丛之间的一块空草地,又拍打了一下那里的空气。助读讲解此处back arched ,fur on end,tail held out stiffly均为独立主格结构,其结构分别为“名词过去分词”,“名词介词短语”,“名词过去分词短语”。just an empty patch . a garden hedge是对前面的spot作进一步的补充说明。Again she leapt back, but less far and with less alarm this time. After another few seconds of sniffing(嗅), touching, whiskertwitching, curiosity overcame wariness(谨慎)The cat stepped forward, and vanished.Will blinked(眨眼睛). Then he stood still, close to the trunk of the nearest tree, as a truck came round the circle and swept its lights over him.When it had gone past he crossed the road,keeping his eyes on the spot where the cat had been investigating. It wasnt easy, because there was nothing to fix on, but when he came to the place and cast about to look closely, he saw it.它再次向后一跃,但这次跳得没有那么远,也没有那么惊慌了。又是几秒钟的嗅来嗅去、爪子触碰、胡须抽动之后,(最终)好奇心战胜了警惕。那只猫向前迈了迈步,然后消失了。威尔眨了眨眼睛。然后他静静地站着,紧靠离他最近的一棵树干,这时一辆卡车转弯驶过来,车灯照到他的身上。卡车开过去后,他穿过马路,眼睛盯着那只猫一直在打量的地方。这并不容易,因为他无法把目光集中在某件东西上。但是当他靠近那个地方,设法仔细观察时,他看出了端倪。助读讲解此处as引导时间状语从句,其中came和swept为并列的谓语动词。keeping his eyes .为现在分词短语作伴随状语,其中where the cat had been investigating为where引导的定语从句,修饰先行词spot。At least, he saw it from some angles. It looked as if someone had cut a patch out of the air, about two metres from the edge(边缘) of the road, a patch roughly square in shape and less than a metre across. If you were level with the patch so that it was edgeon, it was nearly invisible, and it was completely invisible from behind. You could only see it from the side nearest the road, and you couldnt see it easily even from there, because all you could see through it was exactly the same kind of thing that lay in front of it on this side:a patch of grass lit by a street light.至少,他从某些角度看到了。看上去就像有人在距离路边大约两米的地方将空间切开了一块,它大体呈方形,不到一米宽。如果你与那块空间处在同等高度,从侧面看你几乎看不到它,从后面则完全看不见它。只有从最靠近马路的一边才能看到它,但即使从那儿也很难看到,因为透过它,你所看到的一切与这边的完全相同:被一盏街灯照亮的一片草地。助读讲解It looked as if .意为“看上去似乎”,其中as if引导表语从句,从句中用了虚拟语气,谓语动词为had done的形式。you could see through it为省略了that的定语从句,修饰先行词all;that lay in front of it on this side为that引导的定语从句,修饰先行词thing;lit by a street light为过去分词短语作后置定语修饰a patch of grass,相当于定语从句which/that was lit by a street light。But Will knew without the slightest doubt that that patch of grass on the other side was in a different world.He couldnt possibly have said why. He knew it at once,as strongly as he knew that fire burned and kindness was good.He was looking at something profoundly(极度地) alien(完全陌生的)但是威尔深信不疑,另一边的那块草地在一个不同的世界里。他不可能说得出所以然来。他只是马上就知道了,就好像他知道火会燃烧、善意是美好的一样。他所注视的是某种极为陌生的东西。助读讲解without the slightest doubt为介词短语作状语,后面是that引导的宾语从句作knew的宾语。And for that reason alone, it enticed(引诱) him to stoop(俯身) and look further. What he saw made his head swim(眩晕) and his heart thump(怦怦直跳) harder, but he didnt hesitate: he pushed his shopping bag through, and then scrambled(爬) through himself, through the hole in the fabric(框架) of this world and into another.仅仅因为这一个理由,就足以吸引他俯下身子向更深处望去。他看到的一切使他头晕目眩,心跳加速,但是他却丝毫没有迟疑:他把购物袋塞了过去,继而自己也爬了过去穿过现实世界的框架上的这个洞,进入了另一个世界。助读讲解What he saw为what引导的主语从句。made his head swim and his heart thump harder为“make宾语宾补”结构。He found himself standing under a row of trees. But not hornbeam trees: these were tall palms(棕榈树), and they were growing, like the trees in Oxford, in a line along the grass.But this was the centre of a broad boulevard(林阴大道), and at the side of the boulevard was a line of cafs and small shops, all brightly lit, all open, and all utterly(完全地) silent and empty beneath a sky thick with stars. The hot night was laden with the scent of flowers and with the salt smell of the sea.Will looked around carefully. Behind him the full moon shone down over a distant prospect(视野) of great green hills, and on the slopes(斜坡) at the foot of the hills there were houses with rich gardens and an open parkland(公共绿地) with groves(树丛) of trees and the white gleam(亮光) of a classical temple.Just beside him was that bare patch in the air, as hard to see from this side as from the other, but definitely there. He bent(弯腰) to look through and saw the road in Oxford, his own world. He turned away with a shudder(战栗):whatever this new world was, it had to be better than what hed just left.With a dawning lightheadedness, the feeling that he was dreaming(开始出现的) but awake(醒着的) at the same time,he stood up and looked around for the cat, his guide.他发现自己站在一排树下。那是一些正在生长的高大的棕榈树,而不是角树。像牛津的树一样,那些棕榈树沿草地排成一行。只是,他所处的位置是一条宽阔的林阴大道的中央,林阴大道的一侧是成行的咖啡馆和小商店全都灯火通明,都在营业,在布满繁星的夜空下,所有的店铺都静悄悄的,无人光顾。在这个炎热的晚上,空气中弥漫着鲜花的芳香和海水咸咸的味道。威尔仔细地环顾四周。在他身后,满月映照着远处壮丽的青山,山脚下的斜坡上坐落着带有宜人的花园的房子,还有一块树木丛生的公共绿地,绿地上一座古典风格的庙宇闪着微微的白光。空中的那个缺口就在他身边,无论是从这边还是那边都很难看见,但它确定无疑地存在着。他俯身望去,看到了牛津的街道他自己的世界。他不禁一颤,转过身来:无论这个新世界如何,总会好过他刚刚离开的那个。带着逐渐出现的晕眩感觉,那种处在半梦半醒之间的感觉,他站起身来环顾四周寻找他的向导那只猫。助读讲解此处whatever“无论什么”,引导让步状语从句。此处that引导同位语从句,用于解释说明feeling。第一步速读了解文章主题和段落大意速读P1617教材课文,匹配段落大意1Para.1AWill found where the cat had vanished.2Paras.27 BDescription of the patch in the air.3Para.8 C What he saw in another world.4Para.9 DThe strange behaviour of the cat.5Paras.1011 EWill went to another world.6Para.12 FWill found a different world.7Paras.1315 GWill saw a cat.答案15GDABF67EC第二步细读把控文章关键信息细读P1617教材课文,选择最佳答案1How did Will feel before he saw the cat?AExcited.BCurious.CTired.
