第二部分 阅读理解(共两节,满分50分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
A
Many readers of young adult books are not,in fact,young adults.According to a new study,55% of buyers of books designated for children aged 12 to 17 are actually age 18 or older and buyers between the ages of 30 and 44 account for the largest percentage of young adult sales.
The adults are not purchasing the books for others,the study found;78% of the adults who reported buying young adult titles said they were purchasing the books to read themselves.
“The investigation into who is reading young adult books began when we noticed a disparity between the number of young adult e-books being purchased and the relatively low number of kids who claim to read e-books,” said Kelly Gallagher,head of the research.“The extent and age breakout of adult consumers of these works was surprising.And while the trend is influenced to some extent by the popularity of ‘The Hunger Games’,our data shows it’s a much larger phenomenon than readership of this single series.”
A spokesperson for Scholastic estimated that half of the 50 million buyers of Suzanne Collins’ bestselling young-adult series,“The Hunger Games”,are adults.A spokesperson for HarperCollins,publisher of Veronica Roth’s bestselling “Divergent” series,also said that 50% of the series’ readers were older than 25,based on information on the book-referral(书籍推荐的) website,GoodReads.com.
“Interestingly enough,more teens are still reading in paper pattern,but what we’re finding is that the e-book sales are really the result of 20-to 65-year-olds or over,” HarperCollins Children’s Books publisher and president,Susan Katz,told The Times in July.“A lot of our books are read by adults.We’re getting a lot of comments on our own sites where we can see there’s a lot of enthusiasm beyond just teenagers.”
31.Why does the author write this passage?
A.To make an advertisement for the bestsellers.
B.To prove that the age of young adult book readers is older than designated.
C.To explain why older people read books intended for young adults.
D.To introduce some new bestsellers for young adults.
答案:B
解析:写作意图题。文章第一句概述了本文的主题:阅读青年读物的读者并不年轻。接下来全文对这一主题进行了分析和论证。因此说本文的写作目的是证实第一段所提出的主题的。
32.What is suggested in the passage?
A.Paper books appeal to teenagers.
B.Most teenagers are interested in giving comments.
C.“The Hunger Games” is a book in the form of e-book.
D.Most adults bought young adult books for their children.
答案:A
解析:推理判断题。文章第五段说“...more teens are still reading in paper pattern”,由此判断,青少年对于纸质书籍来说仍青睐。故选A项。
33.What made Susan Katz feel interested?
A.The older they are,the more they like to read e-books.
B.The e-book sales are increasing greatly with people of all ages.
C.Adults have more enthusiasm to give comments than teenagers.
D.Older people prefer e-books while younger ones like paper books.
答案:D
解析:细节理解题。文章第五段说青少年喜欢纸质书,而年龄大的人们却更喜爱电子书,这一不合常理的情况让Susan Katz 感到有意思。故选D项。
34.Where can you most probably read this article?
A.An advertisement for books.
B.A newspaper.
C.A novel.
D.A tour book.
答案:B
解析:推理判断题。文章引用Susan Katz的话的时候,用了“told The Times in July”,由此判断本文的作者是《泰晤士报》的作者,故选B项。
B
People have been painting pictures for at least 30,000 years.The earliest pictures were painted by people who hunted animals.They used to paint pictures of the animals they wanted to catch and kill.Pictures of this kind have been found on the walls of caves in France and Spain.No one knows why they were painted there.Perhaps the painters thought that their pictures would help them to catch these animals.Or perhaps human beings have always wanted to tell stories in pictures.
About 5,000 years ago the Egyptians and other people in the Near East began to use pictures as a kind of writing.They drew simple pictures or signs to represent things and ideas,and also to represent the sounds of their language.The signs these people used became a kind of alphabet.
The Egyptians used to record information and to tell stories by putting picture-writing and pictures together.When an important person died,scenes and stories from his life were painted and carved on the walls of the place where he was buried.Some of these pictures are like the modern comic strip (连环漫画) stories.It has been said that Egypt is the home of the comic strip.But,for the Egyptians,pictures still had magic power.So they did not try to make their way of writing simple.The ordinary people could not understand it.
By the year 1,000 BC,people who lived in the area around the Mediterranean Sea had developed a simpler system of writing.The signs they used were very easy to write,and there were fewer of them than in the Egyptian system.This was because each sign,or letter,represented only one sound in their language.The Greeks developed this system and formed the letter of the Greek alphabet.The Romans copied the idea,and Roman alphabet is now used all over the world.
These days,we can write down a story,or record information,without using pictures.But we still need pictures of all kinds:drawings,photographs,signs and diagrams.We find them everywhere:in books and newspapers,in the street,and on the walls of the places where we live and work.Pictures help us to understand and remember things more easily,and they can make a story much more interesting.
