When we read books we seem to enter a new world. This new world can be similar to the one we are living in, or it can be very 36 . Some stories are told 37 they were true. Real people who live in a 38 world do real things; in other words, the stories are about people just like us doing what we do. Other stories, such as the Harry Potter books, are not 39 . They are characters and creatures that are very different from us and do things that would be 40 for us.

But there is more to books and writing than this. If we think about it, even realistic writing is only 41 . How can we tell the difference between what is real and what is not real?

Reading, like writing, is an action. It is a way of 44 . When we read or write something, we do much more than simple look at words on a page. We use our 45 -- which is real-- and our imagination-- which is real in a different way --- to make the words come to life in our minds.

　　Both realism and fantasy(幻想) 46 the imagination and the “magic” of reading and writing to make us think. When we read 47 realistic, we have to imagine that the people we are reading about are just like us, even though we 48 that we are real and they are 49 . It sounds 50 , but it works. When we read, we fill in missing information and 51 about the causes and effects of what a character does. We help the writer by 52 that what we read is like real life. In a way, we are writing the book, too.

　　Most of us probably don’t think about what is going on in our 53 when we are reading. We pick up a book and lose 54 in a good story, eager to find out what will happen next. Knowing how we feel 55 we read can help us become better readers, and it will help us discover more about the real magic of books.

36. A. possible B. easy C. new D. different

37. A. that B. what C. whether D. as if

38. A. usual B. normal C. certain D. common

39. A. realistic B. reasonable C. moral D. instructive

第三部分 阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）

第一节: 阅读下面的短文，从每题所给的A，B，C，D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

A

A couple had a son eleven years after they married. They were a loving couple and the boy was the apple of their eye. When the boy was around four years old, one day the father was very tired after work so he asked his wife to pick up their son. The mother, who was very busy in the kitchen, totally forgot about it.

Later the boy lost his way on the street. When the son was found missing, the mother hurried to look for him, but she didn’t find him. The mother felt very sad and didn’t know how to face her husband.

When the father went to the police station after hearing that the son was missing, he looked at his wife and said just four words. What do you think the four words were? The husband just said "I love you, darling."

The son was missing. If she had picked him up earlier, this would not have happened. There is no point in blaming (责备) anyone. His wife had also lost her only child. What his wife needed at that moment was comfort and understanding from her husband. That is what the husband gave his wife. Several weeks later, with the help of the police, the couple finally found their lost son. The family’s relationship became stronger over that time.

Sometimes we spend lots of time asking who is to blame. We miss many chances to give each other support and let each other feel the warmth of human relationships. Get rid of all your unwillingness to forgive, selfishness, and fears and you will find the world is much more wonderful.

56. What is the meaning of the underlined phrase “the apple of their eye”

A. A person who always has a sweet smile in their opinion.

B. A person who is as pretty as an apple in their opinion.

C. A person who is
