Question

【題目】 To encourage reading, a Chinese company placed over 10,000 books around the underground, in taxis and on planes in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. The activity got the support of many Chinese stars. The “book-dropping movement,” however, won little praise. Instead, the movement caused much criticism(批評).

Some books were left untouched. Around the underground, passengers thought the books were left there to save the seats. Some books were taken away by cleaners. People also complained that they couldn’t get to the books—the trains and buses were too crowded.

The movement led to a hot debate.

Most people thought it could do little to encourage reading. “I think the best result is that people take photos when they pick up the books and write a post in WeChat. After that, they will just bring the books back home and place them on their bookshelves,” wrote one Weibo user.

Some pointed out that, the Chinese stars who supported the movement didn’t seem to be reading much. Isn’t it embarrassing(尷尬) that the movement is supported by stars who don’t read a lot?

Murong Xuecun is a famous Chinese writer. He thought the book-sharing movement was not at all a bad thing. “In the past years, the Chinese economy(經(jīng)濟(jì)) has been developing rapidly. Everybody is busy with work. They don’t have time for reading,” said Murong. “However, just because Chinese people don’t read often, it doesn’t mean we should do nothing to encourage reading,” Murong added.

【4】A

【5】C

【解析】

本文是一篇議論文，主要講述了“丟書大戰(zhàn)”活動引發(fā)的人們的議論。大多數(shù)認(rèn)為“丟書大戰(zhàn)”對鼓勵閱讀并沒有什么作用，然而著名作家慕容雪村表示，圖書共享活動并不是一件壞事。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段“To encourage reading…The‘book-dropping movement,’”可知，“丟書大戰(zhàn)”的目的是鼓勵人們閱讀。故選B。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段“passengers thought the books were left there to save the seats. Some books were taken away by cleaners”可知，有些書被用來占座，有些書被清潔工拿走了，因此A、B兩項(xiàng)均是“丟書大戰(zhàn)”導(dǎo)致的結(jié)果，故排除。C選項(xiàng)“有些人認(rèn)為影響交通”，這在文章中并沒有提及，因此不是“丟書大戰(zhàn)”的結(jié)果。故選C。

【3】詞句猜測題。根據(jù)文章后三段的描述可知，有人認(rèn)為“丟書大戰(zhàn)”對鼓勵閱讀沒什么作用，也有人認(rèn)為這并不是一件壞事，故此處的debate意為“爭論”。故選B。

【4】主旨大意題。根據(jù)第四段“Most people thought it could do little to encourage reading”以及本段內(nèi)容的描述可知，大多數(shù)人認(rèn)為“丟書大戰(zhàn)”對鼓勵閱讀并沒有什么好處，因此本段主要講述了“丟書大戰(zhàn)”的效果不好。故選A。

【5】推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段“However, just because Chinese people don’t read often, it doesn’t mean we should do nothing to encourage reading”可知，慕容雪村認(rèn)為“丟書大戰(zhàn)”不是一件壞事，我們不應(yīng)該放棄鼓勵閱讀。故選C。
