Reading books can help us see the world through different eyes.Russia， as one of the most important countries in the world， has great books and great writers. Let’s learn about some of them.
Leo Tolstoy
“If you want to be happy，be happy.”said Leo Tolstoy(1828—1910)，one of the greatest writers not only in Russia but also in the world. Tolstoy wrote some of the best books including Anna Karenina，War and Peace and The Death of Ivan Ilyich，which are still popular today.
Maxim Gorky
Aleksey Maksimovich Peshkov(1868—1936)came from a Russian working-class family. So he got a deep understanding of the dark side of Russian life，which he showed in his stories，novels and plays.The sadness of his early life led to his pen name，Gorky，which means sad.Among his most famous works is the autobiographical(自传体的)trilogy(三部曲)—My Childhood，In the World and My Universities.
Alexander Pushkin
No writer in Russia is loved more than Alexander Pushkin(1799—1837). As one of Russia’s greatest writers，he is seen as the founding father(创始人)of the modern Russian language. His works show the life of poor people，and poor people’s fighting against the system. His most famous works are the plays Boris Godunov，Eugene Onegin and Ode to Liberty.

Ⅲ.任务型阅读。
My favourite great book is The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain. Tom lives with his aunt Polly in the quiet streets of St Petersburg， Missouri.He’s a lively and clever young boy， and he finds himself in many exciting adventures. He runs away with his two friends， Huck Finn and Joe， to an island in the middle of the Mississippi River for several days. With Huck he goes looking for treasure， with Becky he gets lost in a cave， and finally they find a box of gold.
My favourite scene in the book is when everyone thinks Tom is dead.He decides to go to his own funeral. He hides and watches for a time， and then suddenly he appears. Everyone is surprised to see him but they’re also pleased to see him alive.
Tom is the hero of the story， but there are other important characters. Huck is an outsider and everyone is afraid of him. Becky is pretty with fair hair， Joe is Tom’s best friend， and Injun Joe is the bad man of the story.
The theme(主题) of the story is about children growing up. It describes how strangers are seen in small towns of America. Finally， it talks about freedom， social rules and how people are punished for bad behaviour.
Why do I think Tom Sawyer is a great book？Mark Twain wrote the story in 1876， but it’s still read and loved by people all over the world today. And although it’s only a story， Twain， wrote it in the everyday English of the southern states of America in the 19th century. So it sounds very real. Today it’s thought to be one of the greatest books in American Literature. Go on—read it！I know you will enjoy it， too.

1.Where does Tom run away with his two friends？(不超过5个词)

The story took place one afternoon in a town.Tom was required(需要) to paint the 3-yard-long fence by Aunt Polly. It was such hard work that Tom actually was unwilling to complete it.Suddenly， he thought of an idea. When his friend passed by， Tom pretended to enjoy painting the fence and it was great fun to do it. Therefore， his friend became interested and begged Tom for a try. Later on， more boys were tricked into painting the fence and even offered their food and toys.At last， the fence got 3 coats of paint.

Ⅴ.(山西中考改编)阅读理解。
Bell used to work as a children’s bookseller and helped young people of all ages find their perfect books.During lunch breaks， she wrote her first book， which came out in 2016. Then she published a series of magic books.
In the 2024 book， we meet a boy. He is taken into a secret world filled with strange animals with magic. He soon discovers he can call out those animals by using his energy connected with different feelings. The idea behind the book came from Bell’s strong wish to learn more about the mysteries of science.Bell says，“Even though the book has magic， it is rooted in science.”
Bell’s favourite subject at school was science， and she has always believed that magic has a lot to do with science. “People study science. It is full of mystery and the unknown.That feels a lot like magic，” she says.
In the 2025 book， we join the boy again as he learns how to improve his skills to call out the animals at a school. Bell says that if she could choose any animal to call out， it would be an “everwing”， which is born from hope. “I can fly， on its back！Hope and imagination have great power. They give me wings to realize my dream.”
Bell says science also comes from human curiosity(好奇心) and imagination， which are similar to the hope that creates magic in the story. She hopes her books can encourage young readers to learn more about science.
( )1.When did Bell’s first book come out？
A. In 2016. B. In 2024.
C. In 2025. D. In 2020.
( )2.Which can best explain the underlined words “is rooted in”？
A. Gets ideas from.
B. Pays attention to.
C. Makes progress in.
D. Looks forward to.
A
A
( )3.Why would Bell like to choose “everwing”？
A. Because it can’t teach her to fly.
B. Because it can lead her to achieve more.
C. Because it can take her away from her busy life.
D. Because it is the strongest animal in her books.
B
( )4.How does Bell feel about the relationship between science and magic？
A. Science depends on magic.
B. Magic can be turned into science.
C. Science and magic have something in common.
D. Magic is more interesting than science.

Ⅵ.［人与自我·学习方法］(新疆中考)阅读理解。
It is believed that reading is not only good for our self-development but also quite easy to do. There are so many benefits(好处) to read books.
Reading is a good way to deal with stress. In one study， reading was found to be effective(有效的) in reducing stress.When you are reading books， you can keep the noisy world out and needn’t worry about the problems that bother you. This means that reading can help you feel relaxed.
Reading protects brain health. If you read at least once a week， you probably have a better ability in understanding at an old age than those who do not.Because when you are reading， you actually keep thinking even imagining.And that is a good exercise for your mind.
Reading is an excellent bedtime activity. On one hand， reading before bed can help you fall asleep in a shorter time. On the other hand， it is better for your eyes to hold a book while going to bed instead of your mobile phone.
All in all， there is no doubt that reading is good for you. Why not pick up a book to read right now？

Gulliver’s Travels is a famous novel by Jonathan Swift. It tells the adventures of Lemuel Gulliver， a ship’s doctor who loves sailing and exploring the world. During one of his voyages， his ship meets a terrible storm and is wrecked. Gulliver is the only survivor and swims to a strange island.
When he wakes up， he finds himself tied to the ground by many tiny ropes. He soon discovers he is in the land of Lilliput， where the people are only about six inches tall！The Lilliputians are initially afraid of this “giant”， but they soon realize Gulliver is friendly. He learns their language and helps them in their war against a nearby island by stealing the enemy’s ships.
Later，Gulliver travels to other strange lands.In one place， he meets the Houyhnhnms， who are intelligent horses that can talk. They are the masters of the land， while the ugly， human-like creatures called Yahoos are their servants. The Houyhnhnms live a simple and peaceful life， and they are shocked by Gulliver’s stories about war and human society.
Gulliver’s Travels is more than just an adventure story. Through Gulliver’s eyes， Swift makes fun of the foolishness and bad habits of 18th-century English society. The book makes readers think about human nature and the world we live in.
