【文章內(nèi)容簡介】 據(jù)文章事實進行合乎邏輯的推理判斷。4．閱讀理解 Almost none of us have the time to read everything we39。d like to read. Yet we lose countless hours to daily activities that bring us little joy like taking buses and waiting in line. What if we could turn these little blocks of unoccupied time into precious and rewarding moments for learning and reflection? Founded in 2012, iReader, a microlearning app on mobile phones, brings the biggest ideas from bestselling books through 15minute audio (音頻) and text. So far, more than 3,000 books have been included, ranging from psychology and parenting to management and economics, with new titles added every day. Reader is pioneering a new method of reading, with over 9 million users enjoying the benefits already. According to the Pew Research Center (PRC), the British read just 4 paper books a year and over 25% haven39。t read a single paper book this year, but reading isn39。t dying. There are now more ways for the British to read than ever before, due to the widespread use of ebooks and audio books. The books in iReader are rewritten to ensure it is easy to remember the main content. The way the content is edited has been specifically designed to ensure it is useful in practice. Besides, the content is rewritten with relevant examples in real life, which means users are more likely to remember and apply what is helpful to them. Holger Seim, German cofounder of this app, declares, iReader gives you the biggest ideas in the shortest possible time. It transforms great ideas into little packs you can listen to or read in just 15 minutes.（1）What does the author suggest people do in the unoccupied time? A.Read and think.B.Write and share.C.Avoid taking buses.D.Bring joy to daily routines.（2）What can we infer from the PRC findings? British benefit a lot from reading. methods are more important than before. technology are taking the place of paper books. forms of books are changing the way the British read.（3）How does iReader make the content easy to remember? bringing fun to it. making it useful. using artistic designs. taking users as examples.（4）What is the best title for the text? Prevents Reading from Dying Unites Worldwide Booklovers: The Best New App Creation: Big Ideas in Small Packages【答案】 （1）A（2）D（3）B（4）D 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，介紹了一種閱讀方式：iReader。它開創(chuàng)了一種新的閱讀方式，已經(jīng)有超過900萬的用戶享受到了這種好處，同時也正改變著英國人的閱讀方式。 （1）考查細節(jié)理解。第一段中的“Almost none of us have the time to read everything we39。d like to read.”幾乎沒有人有時間讀我們想讀的所有東西；以及最后一段中的“What if we could turn these little blocks of unoccupied time into precious and rewarding moments for learning and reflection?”可知作者認為我們應該把空閑的時間變成寶貴的、有價值的學習和反思的時間，即作者建議我們利用空閑時間來閱讀和思考，故選A。 （2）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第三段中的“There are now more ways for the British to read than ever before, due to the widespread use of ebooks and audio books.”可知由于電子書和有聲書的廣泛使用，英國人現(xiàn)在有了比以往更多的閱讀方式。即從PRC的發(fā)現(xiàn)中我們能得知新的書籍形式正在改變英國人的閱讀方式。故選D。 （3）考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第四段中的“The way the content is edited has been specifically designed to ensure it is useful in practice.”可知iReader通過使得目錄有助于實踐來讓內(nèi)容更容易記住，故選B。 （4）考查主旨大意。根據(jù)最后一段中的“iReader gives you the biggest ideas in the shortest possible time. It transforms great ideas into little packs you can listen to or read in just 15 minutes.”可知iReader能在最短的時間內(nèi)給你最大的想法。它把偉大的想法轉(zhuǎn)化成小包裝，你可以在15分鐘內(nèi)聽或讀。再結(jié)合文章內(nèi)容可知，文章主要是說明了iReader這種新的閱讀方式是小包裝里的大創(chuàng)意，故選D。 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解，推理判斷和主旨大意三個題型的考查，是一篇教育類閱讀，要求考生在捕捉細節(jié)信息的基礎(chǔ)上，進一步根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進行分析，推理，概括和歸納，從而選出正確答案。5．閱讀理解 Painkillers (止痛藥) are turning out to be a real pain: according to a new study in the British Medical Journal. Taking them for just a week can increase your risk of heart attack by 50%. The research suggested that the risk related to the use of certain drugs was greatest with higher doses (服用量) and during the first month of use. The potential risk may increase by 75% for medicines like ibuprofen (布洛芬) and naproxen, and more than 100% for rofecoxib. It all sounds bad but, your risk is very low, — say, one in a million — a 100% increase means you still only have a two in a million chance. Of course, all painkilling medication that works can have side effects — nothing is safe and effective. Paracetamol (撲熱息痛) has very few unless taken too much, in which case it can cause serious liver danger, but it isn39。t very effective. Drugs like opiates are strong painkillers but easy to be addicted and often have other bad effects. Maybe you find that you are in a dilemma now. But don39。t despair。 you can refer to a pain clinic for some professional guidance. For ongoing pain, music and exercise may be the best choices to help you reduce the feeling of it. Scientist at Harvard have recently done a quite horrible study on mice. They made the mice experience extremes of hot and cold, applied pressure to their back legs and injected the capsaicin (辣椒素) into their feet. And then they timed how long it took them to respond to the pain. Lack of sleep increased the disfort, while stimulants (興奮劑) such as caffeine made them less responsive to pain. This has been widely reported that a good night39。s sleep and a cup of coffee in the morning may help reduce pain. But anyway don39。t throw the pills away because the study also shows taking small doses of drugs, such as for short periods of time can be effective and safe as long as your heart is in good condition.（1）Which of the following painkillers has fewest sideeffects? ....（2）What does the underlined word “despair” in Paragraph 2 refer to? it seriously. any risks. hope. doubtful.（3）The example of mice is used to show that ____ can stand extreme pressure sleep and coffee may decrease pain and feet are more sensitive to pain and stimulants can help reduce pain（4）What is the text mainly about? to stop taking painkillers. new way of reducing pain. risk o
