　　Ⅱ.阅读理解【人物传记类】

　　Back in the day,the local library in Athens had an eight-book checkout limit.But there were exceptions.And young John Wood was one of them.In order not to prevent his hungry reading habit,the library increased his limit to 12 and John went on his merry way,gobbling up books the way most children do candy.

　　It抯 little wonder that today this successful social businessman likes nothing more than an airplane flight.It offers the ideal chance for a good read.t

　　Mr.Wood gets lots of flying reading time these days as the founder of Room to Read,a nonprofit program that has spent the past decade building children’s libraries and promoting literacy and education in some of the world’s poorest regions.

　　Despite his love for books,there is nothing bookish about Wood.As a distance runner with a fondness for the outdoors,Wood was on a self-guided trek (长途艰苦旅行)across Nepal in 1998 when his future changed from the more usual path he had forged as a Microsoft marketing executive.

　　On the first day of the 21-day trek,Wood had a chance to meet with a local education official.As they chatted at a teahouse,the official gave him an invitation to visit a local school.Off they went the next morning.

　　While Wood was touched by the lack of the school抯 resources,he was positively heartbroken by what passed for its library: The ragged collection of used books was kept under lock and key,so precious to the school were its contents.a

　　The headmaster looked at Wood and asked loud,揚erhaps,sir,you will someday come back with books.?t

　　Come back he did.First with his father,Woody,and nearly 1,000 pounds of books.And then he came back as the founder of a nonprofit program to provide books,schools,and libraries in Nepal.揟he hardest thing is that there are 50 more countries that need Room mto Read,?says Wood.r

　　Room to Read,which opened its 10,000th library earlier this year,raises all of its funds from private donors and foundations.

　　Wood抯 technology background has made his work particularly appealing tso the philanthropists (慈善家).Earlier this year Tim Koogle,Yahoo’s founding CEO and now president of his own foundation,joined Wood on a trek in Nepal to celebrate Room to Read’s 10-year anniversary.

　　Wood sees education as the path out of poverty,but he understands that it isn抰 a quick solution.揈ducation is such a long-term one,?he says.o p

　　揚art of the problem with the aid world is that it抯 so focused on the short term.No one gets out of poverty on foreign aid.It抯 always education.?vid

　　1.Why was Wood allowed to borrow 12 books from the local library?()

　　A.Because he used to bring candy to the librarian.

　　B.Because the librarian didn’t discourage him from reading.

　　C.Because it was a rule for a businessman to borrow 12 books.

　　D.Because he liked to eat books like candy.

　　2.The students in the school Wood visited in Nepal 　. 

　　A.had no interest in the books in the library B.looked after their library books carefully

　　C.weren’t free to read books in the library D.had an urgent need for textbooks in class

　　3.The attitude of Mr.Koogle towards Room to Read was 　.

　　活页综合提升练(二十一)

　　Ⅰ.语法填空

　　语篇解读:作者讲述了自己曾经是个穷画家时,租住在嘈杂的市中心的一座公寓的经历。

　　1.lived　考查动词的时态。由时间状语years ago可知应用一般过去时lived。

　　2.because　考查连词的用法。由上下文内容可知,因为周围噪音太大,所以公寓的租金便宜,故用because。

　　3.neighborhoods　考查名词的用法。one of...结构中,of后的名词用复数形式,表示“……之一”。

　　4.so　考查副词的用法。此处不可数名词前有much,故用副词so。

　　5.one　考查代词的用法。由上下文内容可知,此处one指代bar。

　　6.to do　动词afford后接动词不定式,构成afford to do sth.,意为“负担得起,买得起……”。　

　　7.a　考查冠词的用法。take a look看看,为固定短语。

　　8.interesting　考查词性转换。我总能发现有趣的人并与其交谈,故用interesting。

　　9.doing　考查非谓语动词的用法。由空格前面的介词短语in exchange for可知,此处应用doing。

　　10.fortunate　考查词性转换。此处形容词fortunate在句中作are的表语。

　　Ⅱ.阅读理解

　　语篇解读:本文称赞了Wood在世界各地贫穷的地方建立图书馆,帮助穷孩子们读书的故事。

　　1.B　细节理解题。根据第一段可知,为了不打击他的阅读积极性,图书馆允许Wood一次可以借12本书。所以答案为B项。

　　2.C　细节理解题。根据第六段可知,在尼泊尔的这所学校,一些破旧的书都锁着。所以答案为C项。

　　3.D　细节理解题。结合倒数第三段可知, Koogle参加庆祝该组织的10周年活动,表明他对此是持赞成态度的。所以答案为D项。

　　4.A　推理判断题。根据最后一段可知,Wood认为教育是非常重要的。所以答案为A项。

　　【疑难词汇解读】

　　Far more resources are needed to improve adult literacy.

　　【长难句子分析】

　　Room to Read,which opened its 10,000th library earlier this year,raises all of its funds from private donors and foundations.

　　本句是一个主从复合句。关系代词which引导非限制性定语从句,补充说明句子的主语Room to Read的情况,which在定语从句中作主语。

　　“阅读之家”通过私人捐赠者和基金会筹集全部资金,今年早些时候开了第一万家图书馆。
