　　Ⅱ.阅读理解

　　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 (发起) 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 (市长) 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 medium­sized 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 medium­sized 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

　　答案与解析

　　[语篇解读]

　　本文为记叙文，向人们介绍了源自西雅图公立图书馆，而后波及全美国的一个新思想：通过让所有人同时读同一本书而培养群体意识。虽然这一想法存在一定的问题，但正如 Nancy 所说：衡量成功的标准不是看读书人的数量，而取决于有多少人从中受益。

　　1．B事实细节题。根据第二段第一句中 In addition to encouraging reading...allows strangers to communicate by discussing the book...promoting reading as an experience to be shared...可知B项正确。

　　2．C推理判断题。根据第四段第一句 The only problem...diverse population.可知：纽约人实行这一计划最大的困难是：人们来自许多不同的背景，所以C项正确。

　　3．D事实细节题。根据第四段的第二句．..the idea works best in...large towns，where a greater sense of unity (一致) can be achieved.可知D项正确。

　　4．A词义猜测题。根据上文 have enjoyed speaking to someone...及 share 的意思可以推出 share a word 彼此交换意见。

　　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 (专注的)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 (一阵阵) 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 (开裂声)．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

　　答案与解析

　　[语篇解读]　本文为议论文。George Prochnik在书中表达了自己的观点——安静的世界对我们的健康等有诸多益处，没有噪音，我们将享受到周围这个丰富多彩的世界。

　　1．A　推理判断题。概括全文可知，Prochnik在书中主张消除噪音，这对我们的健康有好处，可以使我们专注一些美妙的声音。由此可以推断出，他想拥有一个安静的世界。故答案为A项。

　　2．C　推理判断题。根据第二段开头可知，我们持有很大的偏见，反对“安静有益”的观点。由此可推断出，我们并没有认识到安静的益处。故答案为C项。

　　3．C　推理判断题。根据最后一段可知，只有把巨大的噪音消除掉，我们才会注意到周围这个丰富多彩的世界。但是上文提到，我们目前习惯了噪音，因此我们目前没有注意到我们周围世界多么丰富多彩。

　　4．D　推理判断题。根据最后一段可知，只要消除噪音，我们就会注意到周围这个格外丰富多彩的世界，包括各种美妙的声音。由此可知，这个目标是可能实现的。
