【译林湖南版】2011高考英语一轮复习提能训练 Module 2 Unit 3 Amazing peopleⅠ.填词 Do you ever imagine yourself on a quest(追寻)to unlock the secrets of civilization？If you do，Dan Brown’s new novel，The Lost Symbol，may be just the ticket.The novel is the third in Brown’s hugely popular adventure series.It follows Angels and Demons and The Da Vinci Code. In Angels and Demons，Professor Robert Langdon races through Rome，saving the city from an explosion(爆炸)．In The Da Vinci Code，he solves a mysterious death in Paris and uncovers religious(宗教的)secrets that rock Christianity(基督教)． In the new book Langdon is invited to Washington DC，the US capital，to give a lecture，following an invitation by a friend.He arrives to find the lecture has been cancelled(取消)． There may be no audience but our hero does find a strange object，a severed(断开的)hand patterned with strange symbols pointing to a picture of George Washington，America’s first president.Langdon sees it as invitation to mysterious knowledge. But the path to this knowledge is a difficult one.Langdon has to deal with soldiers who trail(跟踪)after him and the kidnapping(绑架)of a close friend. Fans of Dan Brown’s writing will not be able to wait to get their hands on this latest of his books.It’s another exercise in the formula(模式)that proved so successful in The Da Vinci Code and Angels and Demons. |
