Reaching millions of people, it may revolutionise the already booming audiobooks business. From 4 October, Spotify Premium subscribers in the UK and Australia have been able to access up to 15 hours of audiobook content per month – from more than 150,000 titles – at no additional cost. Bestsellers and literary classics are now housed in the same app as music and podcasts: a "seamless one-stop destination for all things audio", according to Spotify's announcement. Spotify's inclusion of audiobooks in its subscription service follows the format's continual growth in popularity and profit. According to US trade organisation Audio Publishers Association, its 28 members saw audiobook revenue grow 10% to $1.8bn in 2022, marking more than a decade of double-digit growth. While audiobooks have existed for decades, they were traditionally in cassette or CD form. The smartphone has fundamentally changed consumer behaviour. "People are more used to listening to informational content now, especially through the popularity of podcasts," says Daniel Willingham, professor of psychology at the University of Virginia, US. Yet not every group is convinced this explosion of audiobook accessibility is blanket good. Following Spotify's addition of in-app audiobooks, UK trade union the Society of Authors said it was "deeply concerned" that major publishers had agreed to streaming deals without authors being consulted on licence or payment terms, citing the sometimes negative impact music streaming has had on artists' incomes. 【词汇过关】 请写出下面文单词在文章中的中文意思。 1.booming英 [ˈbuːmɪŋ] 美 [ˈbuːmɪŋ] adj. _________________________________ 2.subscription英 [səbˈskrɪpʃn] 美 [səbˈskrɪpʃn] n. _________________________________ 3.subscribe v. _________________________________ 4.revolutionise英 [ˌrevəˈluːʃnaɪz] 美 [ˌrevəˈluːʃnaɪz] v. _________________________________ 5.premium英 [ˈpriːmiəm] 美 [ˈpriːmiəm] adj. _________________________________ 6.additional英 [əˈdɪʃnl] 美 [əˈdɪʃnl] adj. _________________________________ 7.cost英 [kɒst] 美 [kɑːst] n. _________________________________ 8.house英 [haʊz] 美 [haʊz] v. _________________________________ 9.seamless英 [ˈsiːmləs] 美 [ˈsiːmləs] adj. _________________________________ 10.seam n. _________________________________ 11.one-stop英 [ˈwʌnstɒp] 美 [ˈwʌnstɑːp] adj._________________________________ 12.double-digit英 [ˌdʌblˈdɪdʒɪt] 美 [ˌdʌblˈdɪdʒɪt] adj. _________________________________ 13.digit n. _________________________________ 14.fundamentally英 [ˌfʌndəˈmentli] 美 [ˌfʌndəˈmentli] adv.____________________ 15.accessibility英 [əkˌsesəˈbɪləti] 美 [əkˌsesəˈbɪləti] n. _____________ 16.blanket英 [ˈblæŋkɪt] 美 [ˈblæŋkɪt] n. _________________；（本文）adj. ________________ 18.licence英 [ˈlaɪsəns] 美 [ˈlaɪsəns] n. _________________________________ 19.impact英 [ˈɪmpækt] 美 [ˈɪmpækt] n. _________________________________ 【词块学习】 请从文章中找到下面中文相对应的文词块。 1._________________________________一项全面禁令 2._________________________________某事下赌注 3._________________________________为某事下大赌注 4._________________________________订阅一份杂志 5._________________________________花费 6._________________________________无需花费额外费用 7._________________________________雅俗共赏 8._________________________________一站式购物 9._________________________________两位数的增长 10._________________________________两位数的通货膨胀率 11._________________________________两位数的下跌 13._________________________________一项针对所有人的要求 14._________________________________对......产生影响 拓展练习阅读理解 We may not always notice that we frequently imitate each other in conversation, using similar gestures, accents, and facial expressions. We also often reuse the words of the people we speak with. Over time, this form of engagement, known as resonance(共鸣), has increased mostly among people in higher social grades, including people in leading managerial positions in the corporate world, doctors, university lecturers and politicians, according to a study led by Dr Vittorio Tantucci, a Senior Lecturer in Linguistics at Lancaster University. It showed that over a 20-year period people from these sectors changed their behaviour—resonating with one another significantly more than they used to and moving towards a more engaging style. We talk like others to be more inclusive and resonate with them. This might, suggest the researchers, be due to the dramatic change in corporate communication and higher education in the 2000s, involving an institutional turn towards corporate social responsibility (CSR), and ideologies(意识形态) such as Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI). “This affected not only the system of values of those communities but also their interactional behaviour, now increasingly moving towards open acknowledgement of other people’ s talk,” said Dr Tantucci. “This increase is not found in workplaces where these ideologies are not routinely encouraged.” “When words and expressions are creatively reused in conversation, speakers are more engaged with each other’s speech, showing a more inclusive attitude towards what has just been said by the other party,” explains Dr Tantucci. “They make the other person’s speech sound more important.” This phenomenon—resonance—has become more obvious across higher social grades of British Society than in lower ones. This shows a significant change in how British people interact with one another and how this is reflected in different social classes. 25．What does the term “resonance” refer to in the text? A．The physical act of sound. B．The psychological phenomenon of sympathy. C．The corporate strategy of adapting to market trends. D．The behavioral pattern of imitating others in conversation. 26．Which group has shown the most significant increase in resonance? A．High school students. B．Amateur athletes. C．Leaders of companies. D．Shopping assistants. 27．What might be the reason behind the increase in resonance? A．The rise of social media. B．The influence: of popular culture. C．Advances in communication technology. D．The shift towards CSR and ideologies like EDI. 28．How does a communicator feel in a resonant conversation? A．Respected. B．Offended. C．Nervous. D．Uncomfortable. 外刊精选答案 【词汇过关】 请写出下面文单词在文章中的中文意思。 1.booming英 [ˈbuːmɪŋ] 美 [ˈbuːmɪŋ] adj. 繁荣的，迅速发展的 2.subscription英 [səbˈskrɪpʃn] 美 [səbˈskrɪpʃn] n. 订阅，订购 3.subscribe v. 订阅，订购；签名，签署 4.revolutionise英 [ˌrevəˈluːʃnaɪz] 美 [ˌrevəˈluːʃnaɪz] v. 使……发生革命性的巨变 5.premium英 [ˈpriːmiəm] 美 [ˈpriːmiəm] adj. 优质的，顶级的 6.additional英 [əˈdɪʃnl] 美 [əˈdɪʃnl] adj. 额外的，附加的 7.cost英 [kɒst] 美 [kɑːst] n. 花费 8.house英 [haʊz] 美 [haʊz] v. 为……提供住处、提供空间 9.seamless英 [ˈsiːmləs] 美 [ˈsiːmləs] adj. 无缝的，没有任何间断或者间隙的 10.seam n. 缝隙 11.one-stop英 [ˈwʌnstɒp] 美 [ˈwʌnstɑːp] adj. 一站式的 12.double-digit英 [ˌdʌblˈdɪdʒɪt] 美 [ˌdʌblˈdɪdʒɪt] adj. 两位数的 13.digit n. （0到9中的任一）数字 14.fundamentally英 [ˌfʌndəˈmentli] 美 [ˌfʌndəˈmentli] adv. 在所有重要或基本的方面 15.accessibility英 [əkˌsesəˈbɪləti] 美 [əkˌsesəˈbɪləti] n. 可接触性，易得到性 16.blanket英 [ˈblæŋkɪt] 美 [ˈblæŋkɪt] n. 毯子，毛毯；（本文）adj. 影响所有人的，把一切都包 17.括在内的 18.licence英 [ˈlaɪsəns] 美 [ˈlaɪsəns] n. 许可，准许 19.impact英 [ˈɪmpækt] 美 [ˈɪmpækt] n. 影响 【词块学习】 请从文章中找到下面中文相对应的文词块。 1.a blanket ban 一项全面禁令 2.bet on something为某事下赌注 3.bet big on something 为某事下大赌注 4.subscribe to a magazine 订阅一份杂志 5.at a cost of 花费 6.at no additional cost 无需花费额外费用 7.a seamless blend of art and entertainment 雅俗共赏 8.one-stop shopping 一站式购物 9.double-digit growth 两位数的增长 10.double-digit inflation 两位数的通货膨胀率 11.double-digit decline 两位数的下跌 12.way that is important or basic） 13.a blanket requirement 一项针对所有人的要求 14.have impact on something 对......产生影响 【全文翻译】 为什么Spotify押注于有声书行业的蓬勃发展 Spotify已将有声书纳入其订阅模式。作为触达数百万用户的平台，Spotify可能会彻底改变业已蓬勃发展的有声书业务。 自10月4日起，英国和澳大利亚的Spotify付费用户每月可从超15万本书中选择收听长达15小时的有声书内容，且无需支付额外费用。当下，畅销书和文学经典，与音乐和播客共同存放在同一个应用程序之中，如Spotify的声明所说，这是一个“无缝覆盖所有音频内容的一站式目的地”。 在被Spotify纳入订阅服务之前，有声书已显现出在受欢迎程度和盈利方面的持续增长。根据美国行业组织有声书协会（Audio Publishers Association）的数据，2022年，其28个会员机构的有声书收入增长了10％，达到18亿美元，这标志着超过十年的两位数增长。 有声书已存在了几十年，但传统上是以盒式磁带或CD的形式传播。智能手机从根本上改变了消费者行为。弗吉尼亚大学心理学教授丹尼尔·威林厄姆（Daniel Willingham）表示：“现在人们更习惯于用收听的方式获取信息内容，特别是随着播客的普及。” 然而，并非每个群体都认为有声书的爆发性普及是全然有益的。Spotify在应用内加入有声书之后，英国行业工会作家协会（Society of Authors）表示对此“深感担忧”，认为主要出版商在流媒体协议达成之前，可能并未与作者就版权和付款条款进行协商，对此，他们援引了音乐流媒体对艺术家收入间或产生负面影响的现象作为例证。 拓展练习阅读理解 25．D 26．C 27．D 28．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了是指在谈话中模仿他人的行为模式—共鸣。 25．推理判断题。根据文章第一段“We may not always notice that we frequently imitate each other in conversation, using similar gestures, accents, and facial expressions. We also often reuse the words of the people we speak with.(我们可能没有注意到，我们经常在谈话中模仿对方，使用相似的手势、口音和面部表情。我们也经常重复使用和我们交谈的人说过的话。)”可知，“共鸣”是指在谈话中模仿他人的行为模式。故选D。 26．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Over time, this form of engagement, known as resonance(共鸣), has increased mostly among people in higher social grades, including people in leading managerial positions in the corporate world, doctors, university lecturers and politicians, according to a study led by Dr Vittorio Tantucci, a Senior Lecturer in Linguistics at Lancaster University.(兰开斯特大学语言学高级讲师维托里奥·坦图奇博士领导的一项研究表明，随着时间的推移，这种被称为共鸣的参与形式主要在社会地位较高的人群中增加，包括企业界的高级管理职位、医生、大学讲师和政治家。)”可知，企业领导人的共鸣增长最为显著。故选C。 27．推理判断题。根据文章第四段“This might, suggest the researchers, be due to the dramatic change in corporate communication and higher education in the 2000s, involving an institutional turn towards corporate social responsibility (CSR), and ideologies(意识形态) such as Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI).(研究人员认为，这可能是由于2000年代企业沟通和高等教育发生了巨大变化，包括机构转向企业社会责任(CSR)，以及平等、多样性和包容(EDI)等意识形态。)”可知，可能是由于2000年代企业沟通和高等教育发生了巨大变化可能是共鸣增加的原因。故选D。 28．推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段““When words and expressions are creatively reused in conversation, speakers are more engaged with each other’s speech, showing a more inclusive attitude towards what has just been said by the other party,” explains Dr Tantucci. “They make the other person’s speech sound more important.”(坦图奇博士解释说:“当词汇和表达在谈话中被创造性地重复使用时，说话者会更投入到对方的演讲中，对对方刚刚说的话表现出更包容的态度。”“它们让对方的讲话听起来更重要。”)”可知，说话者会更投入到对方的演讲中，对对方刚刚说的话表现出更包容的态度，可知，沟通者在有共鸣的谈话中感到被尊重。故选A。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
