Question

All the wisdom of the times, all the stories that have delighted mankind for centuries, are easily and cheaply available to all of us in books, but we must know how to make use of this treasure. The unluckiest people in the world are those who have never discovered how satisfying it is to read good books.

I’m very interested in people and finding out about them. Some of the most amazing people I’ve met could only  be found in a writer’s imagination, then in his book, and then, again, in my imagination. I’ve found in books new friends and new worlds.

Reading is fun, not because the writer is telling you something, but because it makes your mind work. Your own imagination works along with the writer’s or even goes beyond his. Your experience, compared with his, brings you to the same or different conclusions, and your ideas develop as you understand his.

Every book stands by itself, like a one-family house, but books in a library are like houses in a city. Although they are separate(分開的), in some way they are connected with each other. The same ideas, or related(相關(guān)的) ones, appear in different places; the human problems that repeat themselves in life repeat themselves in books, but with different solutions(解決方法) according to different writings at different times. Books influence each other. They connect the past, the present and the future and have their own generations (age groups), like families. Wherever you start reading, you connect yourself with one of the families of ideas, and in the end, you not only find out about the world and the people in it, you find out about yourself, too.

Reading can only be fun if you expect it to be. If you concentrate on(專注于) books somebody tells you “ought” to read, you probably won’ t have fun. But if you put down a book you don’t like and try another till you find one that means something to you, and then relax with it, you will almost certainly have a good time — and if you become, as a result of reading, better, wiser, kinder, or more gentle, you won’t suffer during the process.

1.Which of the following ideas may the writer of this article agree with?

A．You will never meet amazing people in your life unless you read.

B．You think actively instead of getting facts passively（被動(dòng)地）when reading.

C．You will get much delight from any book that you are told to read.

D．You can relax yourself by reading because it involves little thinking.

2.What can we learn from Paragraph 4?

A．We can often find something connected with ourselves in books.

B．Different writings at different times share the same characteristics.

C．The same problems will appear in different books with similar solutions.

D．Reading books which are written for your generation is more helpful to you.

3.What’s the writer’s purpose of writing this article?

A．To advise us to enjoy ourselves by reading.

B．To encourage us to make full use of libraries.

C．To encourage us to find out solutions in books.

D．To advise us to discuss books with other people.

 

Answer 1

【答案】

1.B

2.A

3.A

【解析】

試題分析：這篇短文中作者主要就讀書問題發(fā)表了自己的幾點(diǎn)看法，告訴我們讀書不應(yīng)該是被動(dòng)的讀書，而是要積極的思考。書本內(nèi)容就是現(xiàn)實(shí)生活的反應(yīng)，通過(guò)各種形式同我們的生活聯(lián)系在一起，我們要學(xué)會(huì)在閱讀中尋找自己的快樂。

1.根據(jù)短文第二三段描述，可知作者認(rèn)為讀書時(shí)不應(yīng)該被動(dòng)的接受事實(shí)，而是應(yīng)該積極的思考。故選B。

2.根據(jù)本段Wherever you start reading, you connect yourself with one of the families of ideas, and in the end, you not only find out about the world and the people in it, you find out about yourself, too.描述，可知選A。

3.根據(jù)短文最后一段可知作者寫作的目的就是為了讓我通過(guò)閱讀來(lái)獲得快樂。故選A。

考點(diǎn)：關(guān)于讀書問題的議論文閱讀

點(diǎn)評(píng)：本文中長(zhǎng)句較多，一時(shí)很難讀懂句子含義，注意多讀幾遍，不要強(qiáng)求非得理解一詞一句的含義，能把握文章大意就行。然后帶著問題閱讀短文，一般就能順利找出答題依據(jù)。對(duì)于不能直接找到根據(jù)的問題注意聯(lián)系上下文，根據(jù)短文中心總結(jié)出正確答案。
