Question

【題目】

Taking a bus or subway in the United States, you can often see people reading books on their way to school or work. But in China, I hardly ever see people reading during their free time.

Are people’s attitudes (態(tài)度) toward reading different here? Not really. Data (數(shù)據(jù)) from Amazon China in December 2017 show that Chinese people still read a lot. They just like e-books better than traditional books.

However, other data show that reading is still more popular in the US than in China. Is there a reason for this difference? I’m not sure. What I do know is that China has a rich history of literature from great Chinese literature like Romance of the Three Kingdoms (《三國(guó)演義》) to the modern science-fiction epic The Three-Body Problem (《 三 體 》). Chinese writers have created many wonderful written works.

Perhaps the difference starts from childhood. Reading textbooks and doing homework can make you feel quite tired. By the time you finish it, you might not feel like reading for fun. Chinese students have to read more and do more homework than US students. So that's why they might not want to read much in their free time.

But learning to love reading can be great. Reading can open doors to places, people and ideas that you cannot think of. Even just a small book has the magic to change your own personal thoughts and attitudes. Where will your next book take you?

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Taking a bus or subway in the United States, you can often see people reading books on their way to school or work.可知，美國(guó)人經(jīng)常在乘坐公共汽車(chē)或地鐵時(shí)讀書(shū)。故選B。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Perhaps the difference starts from childhood.可知，中國(guó)人和美國(guó)人在閱讀方面的差異可能始于兒童時(shí)期，故選A。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Chinese students have to read more and do more homework than US students. So that's why they might not want to read much in their free time.可知，中國(guó)學(xué)生要比美國(guó)學(xué)生讀更多的書(shū)，做更多的作業(yè)。所以這就是為什么他們?cè)诳臻e時(shí)間可能不想讀太多書(shū)的原因。故選B。

【4】推理判斷題。根據(jù)Reading can open doors to places, people and ideas that you cannot think of. Even just a small book has the magic to change your own personal thoughts and attitudes.可知，閱讀可以打開(kāi)門(mén)，通往你想不到的地方、人和想法。即使是一本小書(shū)也有改變你個(gè)人思想和態(tài)度的魔力。因此閱讀使你充實(shí)。故選A。
