【文章內(nèi)容簡(jiǎn)介】 h 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(shuō)明文，介紹了一種閱讀方式：iReader。它開(kāi)創(chuàng)了一種新的閱讀方式，已經(jīng)有超過(guò)900萬(wàn)的用戶享受到了這種好處，同時(shí)也正改變著英國(guó)人的閱讀方式。 （1）考查細(xì)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(méi)有人有時(shí)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(rèn)為我們應(yīng)該把空閑的時(shí)間變成寶貴的、有價(jià)值的學(xué)習(xí)和反思的時(shí)間，即作者建議我們利用空閑時(shí)間來(lái)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(shū)和有聲書(shū)的廣泛使用，英國(guó)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(shū)籍形式正在改變英國(guó)人的閱讀方式。故選D。 （3）考查細(xì)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(guò)使得目錄有助于實(shí)踐來(lái)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(shí)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(tīng)或讀。再結(jié)合文章內(nèi)容可知，文章主要是說(shuō)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(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解，推理判斷和主旨大意三個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇教育類(lèi)閱讀，要求考生在捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息的基礎(chǔ)上，進(jìn)一步根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進(jìn)行分析，推理，概括和歸納，從而選出正確答案。5．閱讀理解 Why is it that many people who have suffered a major shock, such as divorce or death of a family member, seem to be weaker against a variety of major and minor illness? One mon idea among psychologists has been that people could deal with suffering more effectively if they were able to understand and accept it. Indeed, many experts stress the value of expressing thoughts and feelings connected with upsetting events. Recently, a team of medical researchers studied the links between describing psychologically painful events and longterm health. In one experiment healthy college students were asked to write about either personally disturbing experiences or ordinary topics over a period of four days. In the months afterwards, students who had chosen to show their inner thoughts and feelings in their writing visited the health center for illness much less often than those who had written about everyday topics. In an experiment that followed, another group of healthy students were given the fourday writing exercises. Some chose to write about highly personal and upsetting experiences (including loneliness, problems with family and friends, and health). When questioned immediately afterwards, they said that they did not feel any better. However, their blood samples(樣本) taken before and after the experiment showed evidence of an improved resistance to illness. The white cells that fight off bacteria and viruses had increased their reaction and sensitivity to these invaders. This trend continued over the following six weeks, when another blood sample was taken. Individuals who showed the best results were those who wrote about topics that they had actively kept from telling others about. The researchers suggested that failure to face up to painful experience can be a form of stress itself, and can increase the possibility of illness. It follows, then, that actively dealing with a major shock makes possible its understanding and acceptance. The answer is not to suffer in silence. It may not always be possible to talk about personal problems, but writing them down will help the body to fight disease in the long run.（1）In the first experiment, the students who wrote about painful events ________. to suffer psychological problems sharing their inner thought and feelings less likely to seek treatment for sickness39。t deal with suffering effectively（2）People who wrote about personal problems in the second experiment ________. more bacteria and viruses in their blood decreased feelings of loneliness an improved white cell reaction better in their writ
