五、阅读并回答问题
2025 苏州工业园区期末 When I was in college, I took English literature classes. Every month, we read and discussed a classic novel. The books had different themes, but we always asked the same question: What did the writer want people to get from the story? For the first few months, I kept wondering: If a writer wants to express a message, why not do it directly? Why did Ernest Hemingway, for example, write about an old man fighting a big fish? Didn't he just want to tell people to keep going when things get hard?
The more I read, the more I understood why. Great writers don't tell; they show. Nobody likes a lecture. Just think about how you feel when your parents tell you not to waste money on blind boxes. But everybody enjoys a good story. While discussing a story, we uncover its deeper meanings. A good story makes a book a classic.
After all these years of editing work, I've become a better writer. In many of my articles, I chose to "show" rather than "tell". For example, I didn't directly tell you to exercise more. Instead, I shared an experience that pushed me to change some habits.
Classic novels have taught me many other lessons. I've picked up lots of useful words. I've also learned to write with my readers in mind. You can also read to write better. Walk into a great "castle" and find out what makes it great. Over time, you'll be ready to build a great "castle" of your own.
1. What question did the writer ask after finishing every classic novel?

2. What has the writer learned by reading classic novels?

3. If you are in a book "castle", which book will you choose? Give the name of the book and explain your reason.

【分析】

2. 第2题同样是细节理解题，需定位到文章最后一段关于经典小说带来的收获的内容，从中提取作者学到的具体要点。
3. 第3题为开放性试题，解题时需选择一本经典书籍，结合书籍的特色（如语言风格、主题内涵、对写作的启发等）阐述理由，只要表述合理、逻辑通顺即可。
【解析】
1. 根据第一段内容“Every month, we read and discussed a classic novel. The books had different themes, but we always asked the same question: What did the writer want people to get from the story?”，可直接得出作者读完每本经典小说后会问的问题。
2. 从最后一段“Classic novels have taught me many other lessons. I've picked up lots of useful words. I've also learned to write with my readers in mind.”，提取出作者从经典小说中学到的两项核心内容。
3. 开放性题目示例：选择《傲慢与偏见》，结合其诙谐的对话和对人际关系的深度探索，说明它能启发自己在写作中更注重细节与层次感，表述合理即可。
【答案】
1. What did the writer want people to get from the story?
2. The writer has learned lots of useful words and to write with readers in mind.
