[阅读理解提速练]
A
The chance of a snowy holiday season in most American cities is practically impossible this year, so any festive atmosphere to be enjoyed will have to be the imaginary sort. Luckily, there are books for that.
The Complete Fairy Tales by Hans Christian Andersen
Any reader of fairy tales knows Andersen's responsible for the  snowy scenes in TheSnowQueen, the story of children Kay and Gerda, who must face the goddess­like woman who controls all snowflakes  after Kay is kidnapped.
Family Life by Akhil Sharma
It's a beautiful yet tragic novel about an Indian family immigrating  to America, only to face entirely new hardships. Sharma's novel isn't entirely set in the wintertime, but his poetic descriptions of winter weather as lovely yet isolating make it a great choice for a December read.
Frankenstein by Mary Shelley
Go ahead and give up the movie adaptation that has been produced recently and read or re­read the classic itself. You know the story: a scientist driven by his ambition discovers a method for creating life, and spends two years cobbling together a living creature, who later
feels angry with him.
An American Childhood by Annie Dillard
Dillard's first book is, as its title suggests, about her change from being a self­centered child to being an adult more concerned with the world around her than with her own personal concerns. Her parents are key figures in the story. One famous scene takes place during what the author calls “a big snow”， in 1950.
1．Who wrote a novel about TheSnowQueen?
A．Annie Dillard.          B．Mary Shelley.
C．Akhil Sharma.    D．Hans Christian Andersen.
解析：选D　细节理解题。根据文中介绍第一本书时说的“Any reader of fairy tales knows An
dersen's responsible for the  snowy scenes in TheSnowQueen ...”可知，《冰雪女王》的作者是安徒生。故选D项。
