‎2020届二轮复习 阅读理解专题话题训练学案二十四：文学与艺术 Part A　Reading　‎ Passage 1‎ 题材:文学　词数:364　建议时间:7分钟 Success is often measured by the ability to overcome adversity.But it is often the belief of others that gives us the courage to try.‎ J.K.Rowling, author of the Harry Potter book series, began writing at age 6.In her biography, she remembers with great fondness when her good friend Sean, whom she met in secondary school, became the first person to encourage her and help her build the confidence that one day she would be a very good writer.‎ ‎“He was the first person with whom I really discussed my serious ambition(志向) to be a writer.He was also the only person who thought I was bound to be a success at it, which meant much more to me than I ever told him at the time.”‎ Despite many setbacks, Rowling persevered in her writing, particularly fantasy stories.But it wasn’t until l990 that she first came up with the idea about Harry Potter.As she recalled(回忆), it was on a long train journey from London to Manchester that the idea of Harry Potter simply fell into her head.“To my great disappointment, I didn’t have a functioning pen with me, and I was too shy to ask anybody if I could borrow one.I think, now, that this was probably a good thing, because I simply sat and thought, for four (delayed train) hours, and all the details bubbled up in my brain, and this scrawny, black-haired, bespectacled(戴眼镜的)boy who didn’t know he was a wizard became more and more real to me.”‎ That same year, her mother died after a ten-year fight with serious diseases, which deeply affected her writing.She went on to marry and had a daughter, but separated from her husband shortly afterwards.‎ During this time, Rowling was diagnosed with depression.Unemployed, she completed her first novel in area cafes, where she could get her daughter to fall asleep.After being rejected by l2 publishing houses, the first Harry Potter novel was sold to a small British publishing house.‎ Now with seven books that have sold nearly 400 million copies in 64 languages, J.K.Rowling is the highest earning novelist in history.And it all began with her commitment to writing that was fostered by the confidence of a friend!‎ ‎　　　　　　 　　　　　　 　　　　　　 ‎ ‎1.Rowling first came up with the idea about Harry Potter　　　. ‎ A.at the age of 6 B.on a train journey C.after her mother’s death D.in her secondary school ‎2.It can be concluded from Paragraph 5 and 6 that Rowling is　　　. ‎ A.open-minded B.warm-hearted C.good-natured D.strong-willed ‎3.The text mainly tells us　　　. ‎ A.adversity makes a good novelist B.the courage to try is a special ability C.you can have a wonderful idea everywhere D.encouragement helps one succeed Passage 2‎ 题材:文学　词数:389　建议时间:9分钟 Walt Disney is credited for creating such wonderful things as Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse.However, he cannot take the credit for creating other well-loved characters, such as Cinderella and Snow White.They are almost automatically associated with Disney because Disney turned old fables(寓言) into cartoon movies.‎ The original Cinderella varies very much from the Disney version we know today.It started off with the girl mourning her mother’s death and going to her tomb three times a day.In addition, there were only birds that helped Cinderella; there was no such thing as a fairy godmother or helpful mice, nor was there mention of a horse and carriage.‎ The stepsisters were cruel: they always threw Cinderella’s food into the ashes of the fire and made her sleep on the ashes on the floor, hence(因此)her name.‎ In the original story, the king’s ball actually lasted for three days.With the help of the birds, the girl, beautifully dressed, danced with the prince on all three nights and the prince fell in love with her.However, she broke away from him to rush back home each night.On the last night, the prince placed something sticky on the stairs; as Cinderella made her escape, a shoe got stuck on it.‎ Here now is where the story becomes unpleasant: when the prince went to the house looking for the girl whose foot fit the shoe, the wicked(邪恶的) stepmother told one of her two daughters to cut off her big toe to fit into the shoe.The daughter did as told.So the prince took her away to be his bride.But, when they passed the tomb of Cinderella’s mother, the birds called out to the prince,‎ ‎“Turn and peep, there’s blood in the shoe;‎ The shoe is too small, the true bride waits for you.”‎ Realizing he had been tricked, the prince returned the daughter to her mother; the other then had to cut off part of her heel in order to fit into the shoe, with the same result.Only Cinderella’s foot fit perfectly and so the prince chose to marry her.The story ends with the wedding day: as Cinderella’s two stepsisters followed her, pretending to be devoted to her so that they could enjoy the king’s riches, two birds flew by and plucked(啄) out their eyes.Because of their wickedness and falsehood, they had to spend the rest of their days blind.‎ The original Cinderella is so different from the Disney version.Thank goodness Disney made such changes; it indeed was a wise move.‎ ‎1.What does the underlined word“They”in the first paragraph refer to?‎ A.Such wonderful things. B.Other well-loved characters.‎ C.Old fables.
