Ⅱ.閱讀理解
A
(2011·天津高考)An idea that started in Seattle's public library has spread throughout America and beyond.The concept is simple: help to build a sense of community in a city by getting everyone to read the same book at the same time.
In addition to encouraging reading as a pursuit (追求) to be enjoyed by all, the program allows strangers to communicate by discussing the book on the bus, as well as promoting reading as an experience to be shared in families and schools.The idea came from Seattle librarian Nancy Pearl who launched (發起) the “If All of Seattle Read the Same Book” project in 1998.Her original program used author visits, study guides and book discussion groups to bring people together with a book, but the idea has since expanded to many other American cities, and even to Hong Kong.
In Chicago, the mayor (市長) appeared on television to announce the choice of To Kill a Mockingbird as the first book in the “One Book, One Chicago” program.As a result, reading clubs and neighborhood groups sprang up around the city.Across the US, stories emerged of parents and children reading to each other at night and strangers chatting away on the bus about plot and character.
The only problem arose in New York, where local readers could not decide on one book to represent the huge and diverse population.This may show that the idea works best in medium-sized cities or large towns, where a greater sense of unity (一致) can be achieved.Or it may show that New Yorkers rather missed the point, putting all their energy and passion into the choice of the book rather than into discussion about a book itself.
Ultimately, as Nancy points out, the level of success is not measured by how many people read a book, but by how many people are enriched by the process, or have enjoyed speaking to someone with whom they would not otherwise have shared_a_word.
1．What is the purpose of the project launched by Nancy?
A．To invite authors to guide readers.
B．To encourage people to read and share.
C．To involve people in community service.
D．To promote the friendship between cities.
2．Why was it difficult for New Yorkers to carry out the project?
A．They had little interest in reading.
B．They were too busy to read a book.
C．They came from many different backgrounds.
D．They lacked support from the local government.
3．According to the passage, where would the project be more easily carried out?
A．In large communities with little sense of unity.
B．In large cities where libraries are far from home.
C．In medium-sized cities with a diverse population.
D．In large towns where agreement can be quickly reached.
4．The underlined words “shared a word” in Paragraph 5 probably mean ________.
A．exchanged ideas with each other
B．discussed the meaning of a word
C．gained life experience
D．used the same language
答案與解析
[語篇解讀]
本文為記敘文，向人們介紹了源自西雅圖公立圖書館，而后波及全美國的一個新思想：通過讓所有人同時讀同一本書而培養群體意識。雖然這一想法存在一定的問題，但正如 Nancy 所說：衡量成功的標準不是看讀書人的數量，而取決于有多少人從中受益。
1．B事實細節題。根據第二段第一句中 In addition to encouraging reading...allows strangers to communicate by discussing the book...promoting reading as an experience to be shared...可知B項正確。
2．C推理判斷題。根據第四段第一句 The only problem...diverse population.可知：紐約人實行這一計劃最大的困難是：人們來自許多不同的背景，所以C項正確。
3．D事實細節題。根據第四段的第二句．..the idea works best in...large towns，where a greater sense of unity (一致) can be achieved.可知D項正確。
4．A詞義猜測題。根據上文 have enjoyed speaking to someone...及 share 的意思可以推出 share a word 彼此交換意見。
B
(2011·安徽高考)George Prochnik would like the world to_put_a_sock_in_it.He makes his case in a new book，Listening for Meaning in a World of Noise.Here he explains himself (using his indoor voice)：
“We've become so accustomed to noise, there's almost a deep prejudice against the idea that silence might be beneficial.If you tell someone to be quiet, you sound like an old man.But it's never been more important to find continuing quiet.Silence focuses us，improves our health, and is a key to lasting peace and satisfaction.”
“We need to excite people about the sounds you start to hear if you merely quiet things down a little.During a Japanese tea ceremony, the smallest sounds become a kind of art—the spoons making a light ringing sound on a bowl, the edges of a kimono(和服) brushing against the floor.”
“Deaf people are very attentive (專注的)in almost every aspect of life.If two deaf people are walking together, using sign language, they constantly watch out for each other and protect each other by paying steady attention to the other.They are connected yet also fully aware of their surroundings.Even deaf teenagers! We in the hearing world can learn from them.If we remove the powerful blasts (一陣陣) of noise, we become aware of an extraordinarily rich world around us—of little soft sounds and the sound of footsteps, of bird songs and ice cracking (開裂聲)．It's astonishing how beautiful things sound when you can really listen.”
1．What does the phrase“ to put a sock in it” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A．to be quiet
B．to be colorful
C．to be full of love
D．to be attentive to someone
2．What does Prochnik say about us?
A．We are used to quietness.
B．We have to put up with noise.
C．We do not think silence to be beneficial.
D．We do not believe lasting peace to be available.
3．Which of the following is true according to Prochnik?
A．We need more sounds in our lives.
B．There is nothing to be learned from the deaf.
C．We are not aware how rich the world around us is.
D．There is too much noise at a Japanese tea ceremony.
4．It can be inferred from the text that ________.
A．we can benefit a lot from old people
B．it is a good idea to use sign language
C．there is no escape from the world of sound
D．it is possible to find how beautiful things sound
答案與解析
[語篇解讀] 本文為議論文。George Prochnik在書中表達了自己的觀點——安靜的世界對我們的健康等有諸多益處，沒有噪音，我們將享受到周圍這個豐富多彩的世界。
1．A 推理判斷題。概括全文可知，Prochnik在書中主張消除噪音，這對我們的健康有好處，可以使我們專注一些美妙的聲音。由此可以推斷出，他想擁有一個安靜的世界。故答案為A項。
2．C 推理判斷題。根據第二段開頭可知，我們持有很大的偏見，反對“安靜有益”的觀點。由此可推斷出，我們并沒有認識到安靜的益處。故答案為C項。
3．C 推理判斷題。根據最后一段可知，只有把巨大的噪音消除掉，我們才會注意到周圍這個豐富多彩的世界。但是上文提到，我們目前習慣了噪音，因此我們目前沒有注意到我們周圍世界多么豐富多彩。
4．D 推理判斷題。根據最后一段可知，只要消除噪音，我們就會注意到周圍這個格外豐富多彩的世界，包括各種美妙的聲音。由此可知，這個目標是可能實現的。
