科目:高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源:甘肅省天水一中2012屆高三第一階段考試英語(yǔ)試題 題型:050

閱讀短文,從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)(A、B、C和D)中,選出最佳選項(xiàng)。

  Harry Porter has turned a whole new generation of children on to reading but editors at the Frankfurt Book Fair said the boy Wizard was proving a hard act to follow for authors.According to a poll(問(wèn)卷)among children between the ages of 9 and 15.68 percent said that Harry Potter had made them feel like reading.

  It is a happy event, it has developed the children's book market and not only helped books of that particular kind, but other genres(體裁)too.A competitor in the French market, Actes Sud Junior, said it had also felt the effect of the J.K.Rowling phenomenon among French children, though its current success was a German series translated as“Les Enquetes dea Main Noire”that gave junior readers mind riddles not magic.

  In the United States, the same thing happened.If you go into a bookshop, you are told“read this while you wait for the next Harry Potter”or“if you have liked the last Harry Potter, you will like this too”.It has changed the market and become a way of selling books.And of course everybody is waiting to see what the next big thing will be.

  “But Harry Potter has helped all of us.In England it is exactly the boys in the age group that were reading less that are now reading him.”Said Victoria Wilkins from Robert Frederick publishers.

  And Gallimard's Pasquet says people are wrong to confine(把……限制在)the Potter books to the magic genre.“This is not the main thing in the books, they are first and foremost about relations between people.That is what makes them universal”

  Other editors admit Harry Potter is still by far the biggest thing on the market and if they cannot match its great success-more than 300 million copies were sold even before the sixth book hit the shelves in July-they cannot complain either.
