At first，I felt a bit silly going on a hunt for a book designed for someone half my age，but then I realised that everyone has to start somewhere．As children，we are given these basic texts to familiarise our brains with certain vocabulary and writing structures，and from there，we can learn and develop．I started with books which are taught to us as children in the UK．I managed to find Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens and James and the Giant Peach by Roald Dahl．
The beauty of reading books that were introduced to you as a child is that you are already familiar with the plot．Therefore you can work out some words with your knowledge of the story．At first，I used to read with the book in one hand and a dictionary in the other，but this did not work well．The method I would recommend is to read a chapter first and at the end of that chapter，highlight the new words and then look up the definitions．If you can wait a bit before using a dictionary，you may be surprised what you can understand merely from the context．Additionally，a lot of children's books have pictures which may give you a clue as to what or to whom the passage is referring．
If you can find a translation of the books you have read as a child，I would strongly advise reading those if you are a complete beginner．However，if you feel a bit more confident reading in English，I would personally recommend the series of 'Harry Potter' books by J．K．Rowling or any of the Roald Dahl children's books．
（1）What makes it hard for the author to learn German？
A．The author had a poor memory．
B．The author had no interest in it．
C．The author had no one to ask for help．
D．The author couldn't read books fluently．
（2）What did the author think of reading children's books in the target language at first？
A．Interesting．
B．Stupid．
C．Helpful．
D．Boring．
（3）What does the author try to express mainly in Paragraph 3？
A．How to deal with new words while reading．
B．Why it is helpful to read children's book at first．
C．How to choose a proper book to match your level．
D．How to form the habit of reading in the target language．
（4）Why does the author write this text？
A．To give tips on how to learn a new language．
B．To persuade the readers to learn a new language．
C．To stress the importance of reading in language learning．
D．To share the author's stories of learning a new language．發(fā)布：2025/1/30 8:0:1組卷：5引用：1難度：0.53．Scottish Storytelling Centre，Edinburgh The Centre's idea is summed up nicely by the old Scottish proverb， "The story is told eye to eye，mind to mind and heart to heart".The main draw is its programme of spoken-word performances，most of which take place in its 100-seat basement jye.aiatre.The storytelling doesn't just happen on stage，though.The ground floor has a large，airy room used for exhibitions，workshops as well as a monthly story session for tots （Tiny Tales for one- to three-year-olds）.

After dinner，whether dining alone or entertaining guests，Dahl would pass around a little red plastic box full of Mars Bars，Milky Ways，Maltesers，Kit Kats and much more．
He knew the history of all the sweets and could tell you exactly when they were invented． =1937 was a big year when Kit Kats （his favorite），Rolos，and Smarties （his dog，chopper's favorite） were invented．He wrote a history of chocolate，lecturing schoolchildren to commit such dates to memory，such as 1928 when "Cadbury's Fruit and Nut Bar popped up on the scene"，saying don't bother with the Kings and Queens of England．All of you should learn these dates instead．Perhaps the Headmistress will see from now on that it becomes part of the major teaching in this school．
According to Dahl，the Golden Years of Chocolate were 1930-1937．In 1930，Roald Dahl was 14 years old．He was a student at Repton，a famous boys' boarding school in England．It was a tough environment：Those in authority were more interested in controlling than educating the students．
Ironically，it was at this difficult period that chocolate became Dahl's passion．Near Repton was a Cadbury chocolate factory．Every so often，Cadbury would send each schoolboy a sampler box of new chocolates to taste and grade．They were using the students - "the greatest chocolate bar experts in the world" to test out their new inventions．
This was when Dahl's imagination took flight．He pictured fiactories with inventing rooms with pots of chocolate and fudge （軟糖）and "all sorts of other delicious fillings bubbling away on the stoves"．
"It was lovely dreaming those dreams…when I was looking for a plot for my second book for children，I remembered those little cardboard boxes and the newly-invented chocolates inside them，and I began to write a book called Charlie and the Chocolate Factory．"
For the record，Roald Dahl did not like chocolate cake or chocolate ice cream．He said， "I prefer my chocolate straight．"
（1）What can we learn about Roald Dahl？
A．He treated himself with various chocolates after dinner secretly．
B．He has a good knowledge of chocolate，especially its history．
C．He used to lecture schoolchildren of a boys，boarding school．
D．He only wrote some books related to the history of chocolate．
（2）What happened during the Golden Years of Chocolate？
A．It was a great time for children to get educated．
B．Those years stopped Dahl's interest in chocolate．
C．Students could become chocolate experts then．
D．Roald Dahl's passion for chocolate was lit up then．
（3）Which of the following can best replace the underlined phrase？

C．picked up
D．took off
（4）What gave Roald Dahl inspiration to write Charlie and the Chocolate Factory？
A．The dreams about chocolates．

Many people used "World Book Day"to express thanks for Dr Seuss'books．One person tweeted "Thank you for making life more colorful"．Others honored other favorite authors，including Roald Dahl，Maurice Sendak and J．K．Rowling．
For bookworms，however，every day may seem like a World Book Day．A "bookworm"is an informal name for someone who loves to read．As one person tweeted， "In my world，every day is World Book Day"．
