Think of the people who belong to book groups. They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them. Now the website turns the page on the traditional idea of a book group. Members go on the site and register the books they own and would like to share. BookCrossing provides an identification number to stick inside the book. Then the person leaves it in a public place, hoping that the book will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it. Bruce Pederson, the managing director of BookCrossing, says, “The two things that change your life are the people you meet and books you read. BookCrossing bines both.” Members leave books on park benches and buses, in train stations and coffee shops. Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it. People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it. Emails are then sent to the BookCrossers to keep them updated about where their books have been found. Bruce Peterson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home. BookCrossing is part of a trend among people who want to get back to the “real” and not the virtual(虛擬 ). The site now has more than one million members in more than one hundred thirtyfive countries. 5. Why does the author mention book groups in the first paragraph? A. To explain what they are. B. To introduce BookCrossing. C. To stress the importance of reading. D. To encourage readers to share their ideas. 6. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. The book. B. An adventure. C. A public place. D. The identification number. 7. What will a BookCrosser do with a book after reading it? A. Meet other readers to discuss it. B. Keep it safe in his bookcase. C. Pass it on to another reader. D. Mail it back to its owner. 8. What is the best title for the text? A. Online Reading: A Virtual Tour B. Electronic Books: A new Trend C. A Book Group Brings Tradition Back D. A Website Links People through Books 【答案】 5. B 6. A 7. C 8. D 【解析】試題分析: 5. B 目的意圖題。作者在第一段中提出讀書也是一種社交活動,那些參加讀書小組的人經常在一起閱讀討論所讀內容,增強相互之間的理解。接著在最后一句提出 ,說明作者提到讀書小組的目的正是為了介紹網站 。故 B正確。 6. A 代詞指代題。根據(jù)本句 “... hoping that the book will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it” 可知,那些留下書的人希望自己的書能夠隨著找到它的人走得更遠??芍渲械?it 指代前半句提到的同一事物 “the book” 。故 A正確。 7. C 推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第五段最后一句 “... the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home” 可知,讓書蒙上塵土是一種很自私的行為,網站 的目的正是鼓勵人們與別人分享圖書,所以拿到書的人最可能繼續(xù)把書傳遞下去。故 C項正確。 8. D 標題概括題。根據(jù)文章第三段可知 :遇到的人和讀過的書聯(lián)系在一起。 D項內容能夠涵蓋文章的中心思想。 C A new collection of photos brings an unsuccessful Antarctic voyage back to life. Frank Hurley’s pictures would be outstan ding — undoubtedly firstrate photojournalism — if they had been made last week. In fact, they were shot from 1914 through 1916, most of them after a disastrous shipwreck(海灘 ), by a cameraman who had no reasonable expectation of survival. Many of the images were stored in an ice chest, under freezing water, in the damaged wooden ship. The ship was the Endurance, a small, tight, Norwegianbuilt threemaster that was intended to take Sir Ernest Shackleton and a small crew of seamen and scientists, 27 men in all, to the southernmost shore of Antarctica’s Weddell Sea. From that point Shackleton wanted to force a passage by dog sled(雪橇 ) across the continent. The journey was intended to achieve more than what Captain Robert Falcon Scott had done. Captain Scott had reached the South Pole early in 1912 but had died with his four panions on the march back. As writer Caroline Alexander makes clear in her forceful and wellresearched story The Endurance, adventuring was even then a thoroughly mercial effort. Scott’s last journey, pleted as he lay in a tent dying of cold and hunger, caught the world’s imagination, and a film made in his honor drew crowds. Shackleton, a oime British merchantnavy officer who had got to within 100 miles of the South Pole in 1908, started a business before his 1914 voyage to make money from movie and still photography. Frank Hurley, a confident and gifted Australian photographer who knew the Antarctic, was hired to make the images, most of which have never before been published. 9. What do we know about the photos taken by Hurley? A. They
