　　2016年湖北武汉市高考英语阅读理解二轮基础训练（43）（含答案）

　　【阅读理解】

　　The multi­million pound new Library of Birmingham(LoB)will be the most visible sign of the way the city is accepting the digitalization(数字化)of everyday life.

　　Set to open in 2017, the ￡188m LoB is already beginning to take shape next to the Birmingham Repertory Theatre, with which it will share some equipment.

　　As digital media(媒介)is important to its_idea,_the project is already providing chances for some of the many small new local companies working at the new technologies.

　　Brian Gambles, the LoB project director, says it is about giving people the right tools for learning：“The aim is to mix the physical with the digital, providing 24­hour services which can be used through many different ways. It is important to enable us to reach more people, more effectively.”

　　The digital library will, he says, be as important as the physical one, allowing the distant use of the services, making sure that it is never closed to the public.

　　Even before the LoB is complete, the public has been able to go online to visit the Virtual(虚拟的)LoB, designed by Baden, the Birmingham virtual worlds specialists. Not only have the public been able to learn about the LoB, but the virtual one has also enabled those working on the LoB to understand the building and how it will work before it even opens.

　　Two other small Birmingham­based digital companies are also working on the LoB projects. Substrat, a digital design company, is developing what it calls an example of an “enlarged reality” project. It is about the use of an exciting smart phone, an important part of the LoB which is in the early stages of development. And The People's Archice is an online library of historical figures of the city being built up by a digital content company in Cahoots, in which users will be encouraged to add to and comment on the material.

　　Gambles says: “Technology will enable us to make the library's

　　content and services open to citizens as never before.”

　　投资数百万英镑的伯明翰新建图书馆将会是目前很有代表性的数字化图书馆，在这样的图书馆，人们将会体验新的阅览工具，并且能够真正做图书馆的主人，即：能够参与图书内容的增补与建议。

　　(2015 年山西忻州四校联考)

　　Have you ever heard of a great Chilean poet? He was of all classes, he is one of the most widely read and respected poets in history. And this year is the 110th birthday of Pablo Neruda(1904-1973).

　　Born with the name Neftali Ricardo Reyes Basoalto, he was a tall, shy and lonely boy. He loved to read and started to write poetry when he was ten. The American poet Walt Whitman, whose framed picture Neruda later kept on his table, became a major influence on his work.

　　However, his father did not like the idea of having a poet for a son and tried to discourage him from writing. To cover up the publication of his first poem, he took the pen name Pablo Neruda.

　　In 1924 Neruda gained fame with his most widely read work “Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair”. Yet his rich experience as a diplomat and exile made him go beyond the theme of love. His work also reflected the political struggle of the left and development of South America. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1971.

　　Neruda loved the sea which he saw as creative, destructive and forever moving. He found inspiration in the power and freedom of the waves and the seabirds on the coast.” I need the sea because it teaches me,” he wrote. “I move in the university of the waves.” He loved how the sea forever renewed itself, a renewal echoed(共鸣) in his work.

　　The underlined word “Picasso” can probably be replaced by “

　　Which of the following is not the theme of his works?

　　D. Development of South America.

　　4. the last paragraph mainly tells us

　　本文介绍了获得诺贝尔文学奖的智利诗人聂鲁达。他是一个受人们尊敬的诗人，曾经被誉为诗坛泰斗。1924年成名于他的作品“二十首情诗和绝望的歌”， 他的作品主题涉及爱情，还反映了美国南部的政治斗争。

　　B 词义理解题。“Picasso”（毕加索）是现代艺术的创始人，西方现代派绘画的主要代表。由此推断他在文学界的地位是非常重要的。

　　D 细节理解题。 根据第三段To cover up the publication of his first poem, he took the pen name Pablo Neruda. 可知，他使用笔名的目的是为了不让他的父亲知道。

　　A 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段Yet his rich experience as a diplomat and exile made him go beyond the theme of love. His work also

　　reflected the political struggle of the left and development of South America. 可知，他的诗歌主题不包括社会改革（social reform）在内，故选A。

　　B 细节理解题。根据最后一段He found inspiration in the power and freedom of the waves and the seabirds on the coast.可知，大海给予他灵感。
