Question

【題目】 People read books less often in these days. With the invention of radio, television and most recently, the Internet and computer games, it seems that reading books is no longer a popular activity. However, I believe that books are an important part of our lives.

Books offer an outstanding wealth of learning and at a cheaper price than taking a course. Books can make people cleverer, because heavy readers have greater knowledge of how things work and who or what people were.

Everything in today's society requires reading. Imagine trying to do something as simple as reading the directions on a medicine bottle without good reading skills. Someone could not understand them and become very sick or even die.

Even something as simple as walking or driving through the city could become very dangerous without enough reading. Sometimes, you must be able to understand what is written and explain the meaning of them; Some people say that reading is a waste of time and we can do better things with our time.

Even if we don't read books, we still read every day, and reading books can strengthen (加強(qiáng)) our abilities. Reading is one of the greatest things we can do in our spare time.

With a book, you can travel anywhere you want, do anything you want, and talk to anyone you want. Reading is very important in our lives, no matter how old you are. So I think people should read books.

【解析】

文章主要通過幾個例子，告訴我們閱讀在我們的生活中是非常重要的。所以作者認(rèn)為人們應(yīng)該讀書。

【1】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中的第1段“With the invention of radio, television and most recently, the Internet and computer games, it seems that reading books is no longer a popular activity.”可知，隨著廣播、電視和最近的互聯(lián)網(wǎng)和電腦游戲的發(fā)明，閱讀書籍似乎不再是一種流行的活動。故選A。

【2】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中的第2段“Books offer an outstanding wealth of learning and at a cheaper price than taking a course. Books can make people cleverer， because heavy readers have greater knowledge of how things work and who or what people were.”可知，書籍可以使人更聰明。故選C。

【3】

詞義猜測題。inventions發(fā)明；instructions說明書，操作指南；instruments儀器，樂器；introductions介紹。根據(jù)劃線單詞后“on a medicine bottle without good reading skills.”可知，說的是藥瓶上的_____，結(jié)合后面的“without good reading skills. Someone could not understand them and become very sick or even die.”可知，沒有好的閱讀技能，可能會不理解怎么用，從而會導(dǎo)致生病甚至死亡，所以可以猜測，劃線部分單詞應(yīng)該是說明書。故選B。

【4】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中的第5段“Some people say that reading is a waste of time and we can do better things with our time.”可知有些人不同意讀書，是因為他們說讀書是浪費(fèi)時間。故選D。

【5】

最佳標(biāo)題題。文章主要通過幾個例子，告訴我們閱讀在我們的生活中是非常重要的；結(jié)合文中的最后一段 “Reading is very important in our lives，no matter your age. So I think people should read books.”閱讀在我們的生活中都是非常重要的，所以作者認(rèn)為人們應(yīng)該讀書；所以“為什么人們閱讀”符合文章大意。故選C。
