Question

【題目】The House at Pooh Corner

by A. A. Milne

I bought a box set of four Winnie the Pooh books while on holiday when I was eight years old. I adored Pooh, Piglet, Tigger and Eeyore. They became very real to me and I credit them with starting a lifelong love of reading.

I still have the box set, and loved reading the stories to my children when they were small. Part of me secretly believes A. A. Milne’s wonderful characters are all alive and well and still having their adventures in the Hundred Acre Wood.

Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights

by Charlotte and Emily Bront

I can never separate Charlotte Bront’s Jane Eyre and Emily Bront’s Wuthering Heights when I think about books that have stayed with me. Both had a deep impact on me when I read them as a teenager.

They were the first classic books I read purely for pleasure, rather than because I had to for school.

I grew up in Yorkshire, not far from where the Bronts lived, so part of me really understood that depressing landscape. That close geographical connection led to a lifelong interest in the authors as much as in the books themselves.

I wrote a high-school essay on the contrasts and similarities between Charlotte and Emily and their heroines. I’d be fascinated to read that essay now to see what conclusions I reached as a 17-year-old.

【解析】文章大意：本文講述了《小熊維尼的房子》《簡愛》《呼嘯山莊》這三本書對讀者的影響。

【1】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一部分I bought a box set of four Winnie the Pooh books while on holiday when I was eight years old可知，作者在八歲的時候買的小熊維尼的書，另外I still have the box set, and loved reading the stories to my children when they were small可知，作者仍舊保留著小熊維尼的書，在孩子們還小的時候讀給他們聽，所以小熊維尼是給孩子創(chuàng)作的，故選C。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二部分中I grew up in Yorkshire, not far from where the Bronts lived, so part of me really understood that depressing landscape.可知，作者在距離勃朗特姐妹居住地不遠(yuǎn)的約克郡長大，所以很能理解書中那種令人沮喪的景觀，故選D。

【3】主旨大意題。本文講述了《小熊維尼的房子》《簡愛》《呼嘯山莊》這三本書對不同人的影響，可知作者寫這篇文章的目的是去解釋這些書對讀者的影響，故選D。
