Unit 2 English around the world Ⅰ.阅读理解 [2017·江西南昌摸底] When it comes to the choice of books，I always manage to find a hidden jewel or two，which led to my journey to Earthsea.Ursula K．Le Guin has her own voice in fantasy literature—thats something I had to admit as soon as I passed the first page.She doesnt imitate anybody—she is herself.I followed Geds adventures and his gradual transformation from a wild and proud kid into a wise，powerful wizard. A Wizard of Earthsea begins in Geds own village where he，a kid of 7，learns his first magic from his aunt.Five years later he starts to learn from Ogion the Wizard.But Ogion teaches him patience—not magic—so Ged leaves him and sails to the island of Roke to learn the art in a real School of Magic.There the boy is so proud that he plays with forbidden spells(咒语)—he frees into this world a terrible shadow that horns the land of the dead，leading to the death of Nemmerle，the head of the school.Now Ged must try to overcome this shadow before it controls him.Finally，Ged guesses its secret and saves the world—and himself—from a terrible danger.He knows now the patience is indeed the greatest of arts，and names Ogion his only true master.Ursula K．Le Guin makes every word sing—her language is more poetic than poetry and more musical than some music.She draws the readers attention without effort.Shes made me want to try my own hand at fantasy—and I might one day. 1．The author considers Ursula K．Le Guins writing style________.
