UNIT 2 Exploring English 检测6 Writing（Word练习）-【新课程学案】新教材2023-2024学年高中英语必修第一册（外研版2019）

UNIT课时检测（六）Writing Ⅰ.阅读七选五 To develop one's taste in English, the most effective way is to read English books extensively.__1__ I would like to share some of my experience. __2__ It is recommended by many English teachers and professors as an ideal book for English learners. But I had great difficulty in understanding the novel, let alone enjoying it. It's not the vocabulary that troubled me, but rather the way Austen constructs sentences, and her way of thinking, which seemed too remote to me at that time. My fading enthusiasm was much recovered after reading Hemingway's novel Farewell to Arms. I particularly liked his brief and lively style. So my first suggestion is: __3__ However, reading novels is not the only way to improve your English. English essays can at once inform you, entertain you, and improve your taste in English. The best example is Bertrand Russell's work. Its language is plain, yet you cannot help feeling the elegance and the unique sense of humor. __4__ Here comes my second suggestion: Essays are essential. Never follow other's opinions blindly, however famous or influential the person might be.__5__ With that in mind, we are sure to find out our favorite writers through reading and develop our fine taste in English. A．They are the unique characteristics of Russell's works. B．Choose some simple forms of English novels to start with. C．As a saying goes, one man's meat is another man's poison. D．My first English novel was Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. E．You'd better choose contemporary (当代的) novels instead of classical ones. F．However, one may be at a loss to choose suitable books, especially as a beginner. G．His simple language enables his philosophy (哲理) within the reach of ordinary people. 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。作者认为要学好英语必须广泛阅读英语书籍，并结合自身经历给出了一些选择英语书籍的建议。 1．选F　根据上下文可知，提高英语最好的方法就是阅读，且作者分享了自己关于如何选书的经验。由此可知，F项“然而，一个人可能会在选择合适的书时不知所措，尤其是作为初学者。”符合题意。 2．选D　下文讲的是奥斯汀的小说。D项“我的第一部英语小说是简·奥斯汀的《傲慢与偏见》”可以引领下文，D项中的“Jane Austen”呼应下文中的“Austen”。 3．选E　由上文和常识可知，简·奥斯汀
