高三英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

Have you ever had one of those days when all you wanted to do was read an emotionally powerful story that would cause you to tears? Most of us tend to be attracted by stories that reach us on multiple levels, including sadness. There are plenty of books that make you cry (and sometimes laugh) and that you can really sink your teeth into. Here are four of them.

1. The Kite Runner

This realistic and moving description of life in Afghanistan accounts for the people who were badly affected by the Taliban. You’ll cry as you get to know the familial relationships and cruelty involved, but you’ll also get a sense of hope as you quickly read through this appealing novel.

2. The Book Thief

Let’s put it this way: Death itself is the narrator. The story is about a young girl named Liesel who has to live with foster parents during World War II. On the way to her new home, her brother dies, setting the gloomy tone for the story. There is hope, however, when Liesel discovers her love for reading and makes a relationship with a young Jewish man she helps hide from the Nazis.

3. The Fault in Our Stars

This is probably the most likely book on the list to make you cry, as it records the experiences of teens who are dying from cancer and living their last days in love. Their lifestyle is tragic and disturbing at the same time, as we watch their health worsen. The real tragedy is the love story between the main characters, who know that their romance is fruitless.

4. A Child Called “It”

Easily one of the saddest stories of abuse in recent decades, A Child Called It is based on the true story of Dave Pelzer, a boy from California who suffered at the hands of his cruel family. The tears will come from both sadness and the inspiration tied to Dave’s fight for survival in an environment where he is believed worthless.

1.What do the four books have in common?

A. They are all about cruel wars.　　 B. They are all adapted from true stories.

C. They are all about suffering children.　　 D. They all probably make you cry.

2.Which book is about a young victim whose family treated him cruelly ?

A. The Kite Runner.　　 B. The Fault in Our Stars.

C. A Child Called “It”.　　 D. The Book Thief.

3.The passage is intended to __________.

A. introduce some moving books　　 B. inspire us to read more

C. explain why we love reading　　 D. advise us to buy some books
