Module 2 Fantasy Literature 單元小結(jié)Mary was gifted in writing, always dreaming of becoming a writer like JK. Rowling and writing a series of novels associated with fantasy to accumulate a big fortune. Thus she set out to write, but her manuscripts were rejected again and again by presses. And at one point she was burdened with rent. She began to doubt if writing is beyond her power. It was her boyfriend that played an important part in her writing. With his help, Mary made adjustments in time, overcame all kinds of difficulties, and turned to writing love stories. It was not long before her first love story was published and distributed by a press, and her work appealed to thousands of readers. Soon she possessed her own big house, and she never doubted her ability to attain her target.,瑪麗在寫(xiě)作上很有天賦，她一直夢(mèng)想著成為一位像J.K. 羅琳一樣的作家，寫(xiě)一系列與幻想有關(guān)的小說(shuō)，積累一大筆財(cái)富。因此她開(kāi)始著手寫(xiě)作，但是她的稿件一次次地被出版社拒絕。而且她曾一度為房租所累。她開(kāi)始懷疑是否寫(xiě)作超出了她的能力范圍。是她的男朋友在她的寫(xiě)作方面起了重要的作用。在他的幫助下，瑪麗及時(shí)做出了調(diào)整，克服了各種困難，改寫(xiě)愛(ài)情小說(shuō)。不久，她的第一部愛(ài)情小說(shuō)就被一家出版社出版發(fā)行，并且她的作品吸引了成千上萬(wàn)的讀者。很快她擁有了自己的大房子，她不再懷疑她有能力實(shí)現(xiàn)自己的目標(biāo)。加餐練(一)完形閱讀組合練.完形填空When I was young, I read only comic books.

However, with the right inspiration (靈感) and approach, you can write a poem that you can be proud to share with others in class or with your friends.A poem might start as a piece of a verse, a line or two that seems to come out of nowhere, or an image you cannot get out of your head. You can find inspiration for your poem by doing writing exercises and using the world around you. Once you have inspiration, you can then shape your thoughts into a poem.You may also be inspired by going for a walk in your neighborhood or to your favorite spot in the city. You may observe people on a park bench or in a public square and use moments from your observations as the inspiration for a poem. You could try writing a poem about a person who is important to you in your life, such as your mother or your best friend. You could use the person as inspiration for your poem.You can start your poem by focusing on a specific (特定的) theme or idea that you find attractive or interesting. Picking a specific theme or idea to focus on in the poem can give your poem a clear goal or point. This can make it easier for you to limit what images and descriptions you are going to use in your poem. For example, you may decide to write a poem around the theme of “l(fā)ove and friendship”. You may then think about specific moments in your life when you experienced love and friendship as well as how you would characterize love and friendship based on your relationships with others.There are many different poetic forms that you can use, from free verse to sonnet to rhyming couplet. You may go for a poetic form that you find easy to use, such as free verse, or a form that you find more challenging, such as sonnet. Choose one poetic form and stick to that structure so your poem feels cohesive (連貫的) to your readers.1When it comes to poem writing, both Paragraph 2 and Paragraph 3 show the importance of _.Alooking for inspiration around us Bhaving a gift for poem writingCknowing the structures of poemsDbeing supported by people around us解析：選A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段的“Once you have inspiration, you can then shape your thoughts into a poem.”以及第三段的“You may also be inspired by going for a walk in your neighborhood or to your favorite spot in the city.”可知這兩段都強(qiáng)調(diào)了尋找靈感的重要性。2What does the example of writing a poem around the theme of “l(fā)ove and friendship” show?AInspiration is everywhere around us.BWe can be encouraged by love and friendship.CPicking a specific theme or idea is important.DWe should write about things were familiar with.解析：選C推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段的“Picking a specific theme or idea to focus on in the poem can .going to use in your poem.”可知這個(gè)例子是為了表明選擇一個(gè)特定的主題的重要性。3Who would most probably try writing a sonnet?ASomeone who wants to feel cohesive to his/her readers.BSomeone who wants to try a difficult form of poetry.CSomeone who tries to write a poem the first time.DSomeone who dislikes the structure of poems.解析：選B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第五段的“. a form that you find more challenging, such as sonnet.”可知想要體驗(yàn)更難的詩(shī)歌體裁的人會(huì)嘗試十四行詩(shī)這種體裁。4What does this passage mainly talk about?ASome forms of poems.BSome tips to write poems.CThe authors experience of writing poems.DSome tips to overcome the fear of writing poems.解析：選B主旨大意題。綜合全文內(nèi)容可知，本文主要向我們介紹了一些寫(xiě)詩(shī)歌的方法。加餐練(二)主觀題規(guī)范增分練.語(yǔ)法填空Hemingway once said that all modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain _1_ (call) The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.

And let me carry some of these exercise books for you. (Text 3)W: Nice weather were having.M: Yes. Isnt it a nice surprise? At this time its usually much colder and raining already.

Now we are at Oxford Street, and we can get there in thirty minutes.(Text 6)W: Slow down. Why are you in such a hurry? M: Hi, Cindy. I was just looking for you. Do you know your painting was chosen to be exhibited at the Citys Student Art Show? W: Really? Who told you that? M: I just learned it from the principals office.W: Are you sure you heard it right?M: Of course. I saw the notice with my own eyes. I wanted to be the first person to bring the news to you. Thats why I rushed here. W: I really cant believe it.M: Well, Im glad I am the first to congratulate you.W: Thanks, Lester, for bringing me the good news.(Text 7)W: Hello, glad to see you. Come in, please.M: Thanks. It looks like the party is exciting and all are in high spirits. W: Yeah. And theyre enjoying all kinds of French foods here. Well, Id like you to meet my brother, Tom.

W: Are you going somewhere or meeting someone? M: I am on my way to Washington. And you? W: I am on my way to San Francisco. M: Really?

But you speak English like a native speaker. I didnt have any idea. M: Thank you! Oh, excuse me. Its time for my flight. Well, its been nice talking with you. W: You too. Bye! (Text 9)W: Good morning. Can I help you? M: Yes, please. I want to find out about the bus service between here and my home in Detroit. I came here last week by train, but I think I want to return by bus. I like to try different ways of traveling. W: Ill try to help you. Here is our timetable. It shows that we have eight buses a day that leave Cleveland for Detroit. I think youll find that service is cheaper than the trains. M: Yes, it looks as though the tickets are quite a bit cheaper than the train tickets. Why is that? W: The bus trips take a little longer than the train trips, and we dont have a dining car or a waiting room. We do have a rest room, however, the bus is airconditioned. The trip should be comfortable. M: How long is the trip? W: We have an express bus that takes a little more than three hours, and we have a bus that stops at several cities along the way. Its of course cheaper, but it takes a little more than four hours. If you dont mind the extra traveling time, its our best bargain. M: Can I use my return ticket from the train to pay for my bus ticket? W: No, youll have to take that ticket back to the train station. Thats a different company. Theyll give your money back, and then you can buy
