In 1977, Bridge to Terabithia (《仙境之桥》) was published ( 出版), offering a new answer. Like other boys in his class, Jesse Aarons’ dream is to become the fastest runner in fifth grade. He has been practicing all summer. But on the first day of school, a girl crosses over to the boys’ side of the playground and runs faster than everyone. That’s not a very good beginning for a friendship, but Jesse and Leslie Burke soon become best friends. With endless imagination and optimism (乐观), Leslie brings happiness to Jesse, who has been lonely and blue. Together, they create Terabithia, a magical kingdom in the woods where they act as a king and a queen. Unfortunately, a terrible thing happens one morning. Jesse hurts his heart. However, this tragedy (悲剧) makes him understand the courage Leslie has given him. Having had an unhappy childhood herself, Katherine Paterson, this book’s writer, would usually give her characters a lonely life. Then she would give them rising hope and happiness. But in order to create “ups and downs” and show her own ideas, the US writer would take away what those characters had gained, and end the book with a deep theme (主题). Paterson is good at showing characters’ feelings. Readers can feel the sadness when characters lose something beautiful. Paterson writes novels for teenagers, so their language is not hard for Chinese students. Why not try to read the book? 1. What kind of writing is this passage? A. A short novel. B. A letter. C. A book review (评论). D. An email. 2. What do we know from Paragraph 2? A. Jesse dreams of being a runner in the future. B. Leslie is Jesse’s best friend from the kindergarten. C. Leslie runs even faster than Jesse. D. Jesse is always optimistic and happy. 3. What does the underlined word “blue” mean in this passage? A. Unhealthy. B. Surprised. C. Tired. D. Sad. 4. What does “this tragedy” refer to? A. Jesse hurts his heart. B. Leslie hurts Jesse’s heart. C. Jesse hurts Leslie’s heart. D. Leslie hurts her heart. 5. Who does Paterson write novels for ? A. Teenagers. B. Women. C. Girls. D. Adults. 参考答案 一、1.confident 2.actresses 3.excellent 4.doubts, risky 5.fears 二、1.risky 2.seconds 3.actress, acts/acted 4.stuck 5.impossible 三、1.one of the fastest athletes 2.made history 3.chose to 4.the fear of, hold you back 5.as long as, stick to 四、1.Olympics 2.athlete 3.zero 4.superman 5.second, succeed 五、1-5 BDABC 6-10ACDAB 六、1-5CCDAA 学科网(北京)股份有限公司 $$
