阅读强化训练(十六) (建议用时：25分钟) 阅读理解Don Quixote，the classic by Spanish Renaissance writer Cervantes，has inspired literary movements from the 18thcentury picaresque novels to the most special works of the 21stcentury postmodernism and has provided the power for critical works by everyone from Thackeray to Ortegay Gasset.Shakespeare paid Cervantes(his contemporary) the rare compliment of using Quixote as source material for one of his later plays，Cardenio.The concept of the novel is simple：Alonso Quijano，a landowner from La Mancha，is attracted by the books about knights(骑士)Driven mad by the special plots，characters and philosophy in these 17thcentury novels，Quijano decides to bring dignity back to the lost profession of knight under the name Don Quixote.He carries a sword，a suit of armor(盔甲) and a horse，and sets out into Spain.The first few scenes involve Quixote alone against the world，meeting various people，but before a hundred pages Cervantes introduced Sancho Panza，Quixotes talkative squire(侍从)In the endless discussions，Quixotes crazy conception of the world is brought crashing to earth by Sanchos practical ideas.The reader faces，at the same moment，an ideal view of the world and the cruel facts of the actual world.Quixotes insistence on his own reality in the face of arguments to the contrary makes him an interesting character because we know that Quixote is just wrong.Yet，despite all of the pain he suffers in pursuit of that wrong，he continues to believe that hes right.So we read on page after page，waiting to see how much more the man who considers himself a knight is able to take before he gives in.Just as Quixote builds his castles from criminal campfires，we build our understanding of Cervantes Spain，which was so cruelly real and so dreamlike.We，like Don Quixote，are driven to hallucinate(产生幻觉) by what might be，in the end，just a very good story.【解题导语】本文主要介绍了西班牙文艺复兴代表作家塞万提斯的著作堂吉诃德。1We can learn from the first paragraph that Don Quixote _Ais not very
