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。它開創(chuàng)了一種新的閱讀方式，已經(jīng)有超過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.”可知由于電子書和有聲書的廣泛使用，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。8．閱讀理解 As we reflect on the evolution of fitness over the centuries, and the emergence of a well organized and growing fitness market and industry, it is well to ask ourselves: what have we lost, and what have we gained? Obviously, much good has e out of these recent developments: there39。s widespread awareness of the importance of regular exercise, nearly every munity has a gym or fitness club where people can go or pay to work out, and we understand more about how the human body works. Yet despite the many health and fitness methods, programs, and resources, the general population has never been so physically sedentary (久坐的)and outofshape. A recent World Health Organization report indicates that life expectancy (壽命)in the U. S. dropped for the first time since 1993. The health of modem people is declining, despite highly advanced medical technologies and the booming health and fitness industry. How could that be? A large part of it is motivation. People are simply not as motivated to move their body and get healthy as they were in the past. We live in a society where the inability to operate one39。s body in a practical and effective manner is no longer an embarrassing condition. The fitness industry no matter how good each new program claims to be, has failed to get the majority of people to value, practice, and enjoy physical exercise. So, should we expect the answer to this dilemma to e from even more varied, or more technologically advanced programs and equipment? Or will the solution e from a different mindset, a simpler approach and practice, and overall a new culture?（1）What does the author tell us about fitness industry in paragraph 2? provides better technology. is supported by most people. brings about positive effects. costs people too much money.（2）What is the main reason why people fail to do physical exercise? enough equipment. of inner drive. instructions. living conditions.（3）What does the author seem to agree with? attitudes to fitness. on standard practice. more potential customers. to more advanced programs.（4）What is the best title for the text? in fitness about fitness of fitness of fitness【答案】 （1）C（2）B（3）A（4）A 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說(shuō)明文，分析了健身市場(chǎng)的發(fā)展帶來(lái)的好處，盡管醫(yī)療技術(shù)高度發(fā)達(dá)，健康健身產(chǎn)業(yè)蓬勃發(fā)展，但現(xiàn)代人的健康水平卻在下降。問題產(chǎn)生很大一部分原因是人們?nèi)狈?nèi)在動(dòng)機(jī)。作者建議應(yīng)當(dāng)改變對(duì)健康的態(tài)度。 （1）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的“Obviously, much good has e out of these recent developments: there39。s widespread awareness of the importance of regular exercise, nearly every munity has a gym or fitness club where people can go or pay to work out, and we understand more about how the human body works.”顯然，這些最新的發(fā)展帶來(lái)了很多好處:人們普遍意識(shí)到定期鍛煉的重要性，幾乎每個(gè)社區(qū)都有一個(gè)健身房或健身俱樂部，人們可以去那里或花錢去那里鍛煉，我們對(duì)人體如何工作了解得更多，可知健身產(chǎn)業(yè)帶來(lái)了積極的影響。故選C。 （2）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的“A large part of it is motivation.”其中很大一部分是動(dòng)機(jī)，可知人們不鍛煉身體的主要原因是缺乏動(dòng)機(jī)或內(nèi)在驅(qū)動(dòng)力。故選B。 （3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段中的“Or will the solution e from a different mindset, a simpler approach and practice, and overall a new culture?”或者，解決方案將來(lái)自一個(gè)不同的心態(tài)，一個(gè)更簡(jiǎn)單的方法和實(shí)踐，以及一個(gè)全新的文化?可推知作者似乎同意改變對(duì)健康的態(tài)度。故選A。 （4）考查主旨大意。根據(jù)第一段“As we reflect on the evolution of fitness over the centuries, and the emergence of a well organized and growing ‘fitness’ market and industry, it is well to ask ourselves: what have we lost, and what have we gained?”當(dāng)我們回顧幾個(gè)世紀(jì)以來(lái)健身運(yùn)動(dòng)的演變，以及一個(gè)組織良好、不斷發(fā)展的“健身”市場(chǎng)和行業(yè)的出現(xiàn)，我們有必要捫心自問:我們失去了什么，又得到了什么?以及文章主要內(nèi)容為分析健身市場(chǎng)的發(fā)展帶來(lái)的好處，以及其中存在的問題和問題產(chǎn)生的原因。故選A。 【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，是一篇健康類閱讀，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。9．閱讀理解 For a generation now, school reform has meant what students must be taught and carried out by standardized(標(biāo)準(zhǔn)化的)tests. Here39。s a thought experiment. Suppose that next year almost every student passed the tests. What would the reaction be from people? Would they shake their heads in respect and say, Damn, those teachers must be good!? Of course not. Such remarkable success would be used as evidence that the tests were too easy and it needs to raise standards. High standards really means standards that all students will never be able to meet. My little thought experiment uncovers a truth that we have been taught to respond with doubt whenever all members of any group are successful. In America, su
