Unit 8 Wonderland 单元视野拓展阅读 一、阅读理解 (An extract from Gulliver’s Travels) I ran away from the huge living thing as fast as possible, and did not stop until I found myself in some fields. The grass was about seven metres high and the crops were about thirteen metres high. It took me an hour to cross just one field. The field had bushes at least forty metres high. ① The trees around were much taller. I was trying to find a hole in the bushes, so that I could get into the next field. I saw another huge man coming towards me. He seemed as tall as a mountain, and his feet were as long as about ten metres. In great fear and surprise, I hid in the crops, and only hoped he would not notice me.② He seemed to be a master and shouted in a voice like thunder. Then seven other huge men came here.The master asked them to cut down the crops in the field while I was hiding. As they moved towards me, I moved away, but at last I came to a part of the field without crops. There was not anywhere for me to hide, and I was afraid that the huge men would cut me into pieces with their knives. I lay down and prepared to die. I could not stop myself thinking of Lilliput.There, I myself was also a huge man and became famous for helping the people in that small country. ③ I began to understand how a very small living thing felt. Suddenly, I noticed that one of the huge men was next to me. As his huge foot rose over my head, I screamed as loudly as I could. He looked around on the ground, and finally saw me. He looked at me for a moment, and then very carefully, he picked me up with fingers and looked at me.I was now twenty metres up in the air, and I hoped he would not throw me to the ground. ④ I did nothing but spoke politely to him. Of course, I knew he did not understand any of my language. He took me to his master. They soon found that I was not an animal, but a smart living thing. The master carefully put me in his pocket and took me home to show to his wife. When she saw me, she screamed and jumped back in fear, maybe thinking I was an insect. But after a couple of days, she became used to me, and was very kind to me. 1. Gulliver crossed the fields to _______.

However, when I entered middle school, I began listening to audiobooks ( 有声读物) and grew to love it. Now, I manage to finish a couple of audiobooks each month. While reading a printed book allows more freedom to re-read paragraphs that you don’t quite catch, go back to look something up from earlier in the book or even write down some notes in the margin (页边空白), audiobooks have their own benefits（好处）. They are especially enjoyable and convenient (方便的) for both kids and adults. Besides, you can multitask while listening and get through books faster. I often listen to audiobooks before reading paper ones in order to better understand some difficult parts. Listening is necessary for all kinds of learning, including reading. I can now enjoy longer books that I might not have had the patience (耐心) to read, and my ability to focus on audiobooks carries over to my skill in focusing on a written text. To me, the coolest thing about audiobooks is the role of the narrator. When you listen to audiobooks, the narrators do much of the “work” for you, which can be very pleasing when they are skilled. I like the sense of reading with someone who understands and loves the material. I remember listening to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory narrated by the author (作者) himself. It was a truly magical experience! Audiobooks have become a big part of my life. At home, I love sitting on the sofa, losing myself in a good story, and then I share my thoughts with my parents. It’s not just about enjoying a good book; it’s about creating shared moments and talks. Audiobooks have changed my life. They make reading fun by bringing stories to life through skilled narrators and discussing audiobooks with family adds a joyful richness to my everyday moments. 1. When did the writer begin listening to audiobooks? _____________________________________________ 2. Why does the writer often listen to audiobooks before reading paper ones? _______________________________________________ 3. What kind of narrators does the writer like? _______________________________________________ 4. Do you like listening to audiobooks? Why or why not? (Please give two reasons.) _______________________________________________ 三、阅读下面短文，根据语境、音标或所给单词的提示，在每个空格内填入一个适当的词，要求所填的词意义准确、形式正确，使短文意思完整、行文连贯。 People around the world often eat noodles.
