【正文】 aloud Therefore, my organization, LitWorld, created a grassroots movement World Read Aloud Day in 2010 to honor this young boy39。s wish for everyone to be able to have a read aloud every day. Since the day he shared that good idea with us, World Read Aloud Day has bee a worldwide event reaching over one million people in more than 65 countries around the world. This year we are over 600 cities strong, a number that is growing every day. Children who grow up as readers bee engaged citizens of the global world, and every child deserves the right to read. When I say that reading aloud will change the world, I know it sounds simple. But one of the many great things about giving kids access to the power of stories and sharing them together is that it is simple. It is also cheap and easily done. And the impact is huge. （1）How did the author39。s parent change her life? A.By reading aloud to her.B.By listening to her reading.C.By buying many books for her.D.By encouraging her to read aloud.（2）According to Paragraph 3, the author was probably the little boy39。s . A.motherB.teacherC.best friendD.favorite writer（3）What does the small child39。s idea in Paragraph 3 refer to? A.To start a holiday.B.To reduce poverty.C.To found LitWorld.D.To overe loneliness.（4）What can we know about World Read Aloud Day from Paragraph 5? A.Its origin.B.Its future.C.Its purpose.D.Its development.（5）What can we infer from the last paragraph? A.Sticking to reading isn39。t easy.B.Reading gives a high rate of return.C.Reading aloud isn39。t actually simple.D.Kids should try to change the world.【答案】 （1）A（2）B（3）A（4）D（5）B 【解析】【分析】短文大意：本文主要介紹了大聲閱讀對孩子們的巨大影響，以及World Read Aloud Day的開端以及后來的發(fā)展。 （1）細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段最后兩句I remember as if it were yesterday, hearing her voice at my side on a cold wintry night. My mother39。s voice changed my world. 可知父母親大聲朗讀改變了作者的一生。故A項正確。 （2）推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段第一句Years later, I was reading aloud a picture book to a small child in a classroom. 可知作者是在教室里向一個小孩大聲朗讀一本圖畫書。通常只有老師才會這樣做，由此可知作者最可能是一位老師。故B項正確。 （3）推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段第一句What he said was this: Mrs. Allyn, let39。s make sure everyone knows how good this feels. Let39。s have a holiday for the read aloud可知小男孩的主意是出去度假來宣傳read loudly的好處。故A項正確。 （4）推理判斷題。根據(jù)本段第一句Since the day he shared that good idea with us, World Read Aloud Day has bee a worldwide event reaching over one million people in more than 65 countries around the world可知本段主要介紹了World Read Aloud Day的開始以及后來的發(fā)展。故D項正確。 （5）推理判斷題。根據(jù)本文最后一句And the impact is huge. 可知大聲閱讀對孩子們未來的發(fā)展影響很大。故B項正確。 【點評】查閱讀理解。本文涉及細節(jié)題、推斷題兩種常考題型，細節(jié)題要注意從文中尋找答案；推斷題需要聯(lián)系上下文，推斷出需要的信息。8．閱讀短文，從每題所給的A、B、C和D四個選項中，選出最佳選項。 Almost every second of every day an older adult falls in the United States. That39。s approximately 29 million falls per year and nearly 27, 000 deaths, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Still in the stating stage, the Active Pelvis Orthosis (APO) system in Switzerland wants to make a lightweight, wearable exoskeleton (外骨骼) that could detect signs of balance loss and assist with balance recovery to keep the elderly wearer from falling, only when needed. Other exoskeletons, either in development or on the market today, assist with movement and make heavy objects feel lighter. Mobilityimpaired people can walk again. But none of these devices predict what the wearer is going to do next and take measures to correct an unsteady move. The 3 kilogram ( pound) exoskeleton was built entirely from scratch by the research team and is designed to be worn on the lower half of the body. A waistband connects to two movable carbon fiber braces (支架), each one positioned on the outer side of a leg. Tiny motors and socalled adaptive oscillators (適配振蕩器) in the puter circuits use a special process to detect the, wearer39。s unique paces. That part takes just a few minutes. While wearing the exoskeleton, a person may feel the braces and the motors pushing slightly on their legs. If their paces go against normal, the motors create a force in the braces that cause them to stiffen up and push a little more strongly against the legs, which provides stability. In the next three years, the APO hopes to develop something that is mercially available.（1）Why is the new exoskeleton invented? A.To slower users39。 walking paces.B.To improve users39。 walking abilityC.To promote users39。 sense of balance.D.To prevent users from falling（2）What39。s the feature of the new exoskeleton? A.It keeps users warm.B.It is worn on the back.C.It helps users move around.D.It corrects an unsteady move.（3）What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A.How the new exoskeleton works.B.Where the braces are positioned.C.How long it takes to detect the user39。s paces.D.What the new exoskeleton was built from.（4）What is the purpose of the author in writing this text? A.To call on care for the elderly.B.To introduce a new invention.C.To advertise new device.D.To bring hope for the elderly.【答案】 （1）D（2）D（3）A（4）B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，介紹了一款新設備，能夠預測外骨骼佩戴者下一步會做什么，同時采取措施糾正不穩(wěn)定的移動來防止老年人佩戴者摔倒。 （1）考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的“…to make a lightweight, wearable exoskeleton (外骨骼) that could detect signs of balance loss and assist with balance recov
