A large number of experts say that audio books can help “readers” turn what they hear into written words—and may even encourage them to pick up a pen to write stories themselves. ②“Audio books have an immersive (沉浸式的) quality that brings stories to life,” said Leanne Cartwright, one of the experts. “When children listen to books, they use their imagination to meet different characters. Audio books lead kids to hear more difficult language and grammar than they hear in daily conversation.” ③Listening to audio books can even lead children to write themselves. “A real benefit (好处) of audio books is that children can use what they hear to improve their own writing,” Dr. Adonis said. “They can move their writing on from some simple words and sentences to really exciting ways of showing big ideas.” ④“If a child is having trouble learning the skill of reading, it can become a real obstacle to his or her development of creativity and the ability to tell stories,” Dr. Adonis added. “In such a difficult situation, an audio book is really helpful. While listening to them, children are still learning about how a story is organized. They are listening to descriptions and understanding dialogue and interpreting metaphors (解释隐喻). These great tools help them tell their own stories.” ⑤Audio books are influencing children in a great way. So let’s welcome audio books to help them more and make their life more exciting. 29．What does Leanne mean by mentioning the immersive quality of audio books? A．Audio books are only suitable for children with good hearing. B．Audio books are more expensive than traditional books. C．Audio books can only be listened to in a quiet environment. D．Audio books make children feel like they are part of the story. 30．The underlined word “obstacle” in Paragraph 4 has a similar meaning to _________. A．protection B．difficulty C．medicine D．success 31．The writer’s purpose of writing this passage is to _________. A．show the relationship between reading and writing B．encourage children to listen to more audio books C．tell differences between paper books and audio books D．show the influence of the development of technology 32．How is the passage organized? A．B．C． D． 【答案】29．D 30．B 31．B 32．A 【导语】本文主要介绍了有声书对孩子们阅读和写作的帮助。 29．推理判断题。根据“When children listen to books, they use their imagination to meet different characters.”可知，Leanne Cartwright认为当孩子们听书的时候，他们会运用他们的想象力去遇见不同的人物，即有声书可以使孩子们身临其境，仿佛置身于故事里，D项符合。故选D。 30．词句猜测题。根据“If a child is having trouble learning the skill of reading”并结合选项可知，如果一个孩子在学习阅读技能方面有困难，那么这会对孩子发展创造力和讲故事能力造成障碍，所以划线部分的含义是“障碍”，B项符合。故选B。 31．主旨大意题。根据“Audio books are influencing children in a great way. So let’s welcome audio books to help them more and make their life more exciting.”可知，有声书对孩子们影响很大，所以作者鼓励孩子们多读有声书。故选B。 32．篇章结构题。通读全文可知，第一段主要讲述越来越多的孩子们在使用有声书，许多专家认为有声书对孩子们有好处；第二段到第四段主要是专家们介绍有声书对孩子们有哪些好处；最后一段总结全文，作者鼓励孩子们多读有声书，所以A项符合。故选A。 C ①According to UNESCO, there are 740 million people unable to read or write in this world.

The Global School Community makes e-books available to children all around the world, either through mobile phones, Ipads or computers, saving the cost of making books and transport. Technology also helps improve our communication skills. Through the use of technology, teachers and children around the world can meet online to share lessons and discuss ideas. Remote schooling (远程教学) is one example of the success of communication through the Internet. ③The first books a child reads can have a great influence on that child.

They can provide hours of entertainment and can connect schools all over the world. Studies have shown that children make much progress after only five months of reading e-books. Bido Hafrag, a child from Egypt, said, “Reading e-books not only helps me learn to read and write, but gives me much confidence.

There aren’t any birds there.” The little dog jumps off the bed and goes to the door. He starts barking. Dorothy follows him. She opens the door and looks out. “Oh!” she says. “What a wonderful place!” She can see a beautiful country in front of her. There’s green grass everywhere. There are tall trees with all kinds of fruit on them. There are brightly coloured birds in the branches of the trees. There are lots of flowers and pretty butterflies.

You can see her feet!” Dorothy looks and sees a pair of feet in silver shoes. She can’t see the rest of the body because it’s under the house. “I’m the Witch of the North. ” the woman says. “There are four witches in Oz, I’m a good witch. The Witch of the South is also a good witch. She lives in the land of the Quadlings. But the Witch of the West is very, very wicked (邪恶的). ” Then she picks up the silver shoes and gives them to Dorothy. “These shoes are for you,” she says. “You must wear them.

Suddenly the house hits the ground. Dorothy wakes up.”可知是房子撞击地面的声音叫醒了Dorothy。故选C。 38．细节理解题。根据“Suddenly the house hits the ground…The house isn’t moving now…The little dog jumps off the bed and goes to the door…She opens the door and looks out. ‘Oh!’ she says. ‘What a wonderful place!’ She can see a beautiful country in front of her…Then Dorothy sees some people. They are coming towards the house. There are three men and one woman…‘Look!’ the old woman says. ‘She’s there! Under your house!

At that time, he came to know Dee. Dee is a character based on the historical person Di Renjie from the Tang dynasty. 42 He loved the book so much that he put it into English. And then he used its style (风格) to make up his own stories about Judge Dee. Between 1950 and 1967, Robert wrote 16 novels (小说) and 8 short stories. In the stories, he described matters solved by Judge Dee. He also introduced culture and traditions of the Tang dynasty in his book. 43 Now it has been put into over 10 languages and has sold millions of copies worldwide. It has greatly helped the western people get a better understanding of China. “ 44 It didn’t mean very much to me at that time. In later life, I have re-read the stories several times and found how special Judge Dee was described by my father. Between the lines, there is a lot of wisdom (智慧) in the writing,” said Thomas van Gulik, son of Robert van Gulik. In the eyes of Thomas, it’s fantastic that his father brought the master detective (大侦探) of the Tang dynasty, Di Renjie, back to life in the Judge Dee crime novels. “ 45 If he were still living in the world now, I think he would be also very glad that his stories are now so popular,” he said.

The poor animal cried for hours before his owner finally found him. The farmer tried hard to pull him out from the well but failed. He felt very sorry for the donkey but after carefully thinking about the situation, he decided that he would not save the donkey. Since the donkey was too old and it was not worth the trouble of saving. So he invited his neighbours to help him bury (埋葬) the old donkey in the well so that it would make him end his pain. Hearing many people coming to help, the old donkey was excited at first. As they began to scoop the dirt into the well with shovels (铲子), he soon realized what was happening. He felt very upset and cried sadly again. As the farmer and his neighbours continued throwing the dirt on his back, he suddenly had a good idea. Some time later, when the farmer finally looked down into the well, he was surprised at what he saw: every time the dirt landed on his back, he shook it off and took a step (步) up! Soon, everyone was amazed when the donkey stepped proudly over the edge of the well and ran away quickly! It seemed that it would bury him at first, but it actually helped him later because of the manner in which he faced his trouble. That is life! Just like the donkey, life is going to throw dirt on us, all kinds of dirt. As long as we face our problems in an active way, and refuse to give in to any trouble, each dirt is like a stepping stone with which we get out of the deepest wells. Never stop and never give up. Success is just on the way. 66．What did the farmer decide after carefully thinking about the situation? 67．Why did the farmer invite his neighbours to help bury the old donkey in the well? 68．How did the donkey’s feelings change in paragraph two? 69．What did the donkey do when people threw the dirt on his back? 70．What can we learn from the story?（自拟一句话） 【答案】66．He decided that he would not save the donkey. 67．Because the donkey was too old and it was not worth the trouble of saving. 68．It felt excited at first but when it realized what was happening it felt very upset. 69．He shook it off and took a step up. 70．We shouldn’t give up when we have problems. 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。通过讲述驴掉进了一个干枯的井里，最后利用土救了自己的故事，告诉我们：生活中我们身处逆境的时候不要放弃，也许成功很快就会到来。 66．根据“He felt very sorry for the donkey but after carefully thinking about the situation, he decided that he would not save the donkey.”可知，农民决定不救这头驴了。故填He decided that he would not save the donkey. 67．根据“Since the donkey was too old and it was not worth the trouble of saving. So he invited his neighbours to help him bury the old donkey in the well so that it would make him end his pain.”可知，因为这头驴太老了，不值得救，所以农民请邻居帮忙将它埋了。故填Because the donkey was too old and it was not worth the trouble of saving. 68．根据“Hearing many people coming to help, the old donkey was excited at first. As they began to scoop the dirt into the well with shovels, he soon realized what was happening.

B ①With the development of science and technology, more and more kids are using audio books (有声书). A large number of experts say that audio books can help “readers” turn what they hear into written words—and may even encourage them to pick up a pen to write stories themselves. ②“Audio books have an immersive (沉浸式的) quality that brings stories to life,” said Leanne Cartwright, one of the experts. “When children listen to books, they use their imagination to meet different characters. Audio books lead kids to hear more difficult language and grammar than they hear in daily conversation.” ③Listening to audio books can even lead children to write themselves. “A real benefit (好处) of audio books is that children can use what they hear to improve their own writing,” Dr. Adonis said. “They can move their writing on from some simple words and sentences to really exciting ways of showing big ideas.” ④“If a child is having trouble learning the skill of reading, it can become a real obstacle to his or her development of creativity and the ability to tell stories,” Dr. Adonis added. “In such a difficult situation, an audio book is really helpful. While listening to them, children are still learning about how a story is organized. They are listening to descriptions and understanding dialogue and interpreting metaphors (解释隐喻). These great tools help them tell their own stories.” ⑤Audio books are influencing children in a great way. So let’s welcome audio books to help them more and make their life more exciting. 29．What does Leanne mean by mentioning the immersive quality of audio books? A．Audio books are only suitable for children with good hearing. B．Audio books are more expensive than traditional books. C．Audio books can only be listened to in a quiet environment. D．Audio books make children feel like they are part of the story. 30．The underlined word “obstacle” in Paragraph 4 has a similar meaning to _________. A．protection B．difficulty C．medicine D．success 31．The writer’s purpose of writing this passage is to _________. A．show the relationship between reading and writing B．encourage children to listen to more audio books C．tell differences between paper books and audio books D．show the influence of the development of technology 32．How is the passage organized? A．B．C． D． C ①According to UNESCO, there are 740 million people unable to read or write in this world. And 250 million children of primary school age have no basic reading and writing skills. However, reading makes everything possible in life: education, work and escaping poverty(贫困). Considering that, the Global School Community aims to bring digital books to all the children of the world and their families. ②Digital technology makes a real difference. It can reach across the world and is fairly inexpensive. The Global School Community makes e-books available to children all around the world, either through mobile phones, Ipads or computers, saving the cost of making books and transport. Technology also helps improve our communication skills. Through the use of technology, teachers and children around the world can meet online to share lessons and discuss ideas. Remote schooling (远程教学) is one example of the success of communication through the Internet. ③The first books a child reads can have a great influence on that child. The greater the influence, the more likely the child is to continue reading and learning throughout his life. E-books, which are actually the electronic versions of printed books, not only provide knowledge and information, but help people grow healthily in mind. They can provide hours of entertainment and can connect schools all over the world. Studies have shown that children make much progress after only five months of reading e-books. Bido Hafrag, a child from Egypt, said, “Reading e-books not only helps me learn to read and write, but gives me much confidence. It also helps me have a better understanding of the world.” ④The Global School Community has a huge e-book library for every school to enter. It aims to bring digital books to all children and their families, and helps schools, colleges and universities to connect with each other.

Suddenly the house hits the ground. Dorothy wakes up. “Good morning, Toto,” she says. Toto wakes up too and puts his cold little nose in her face. The tornado (龙卷风) has stopped. The house isn’t moving now. Dorothy looks around and listens. It’s light now and the room is full of sunshine! She can hear birds. “Where are we, Toto?” She says. “We aren’t in Kansas. There aren’t any birds there.” The little dog jumps off the bed and goes to the door. He starts barking. Dorothy follows him. She opens the door and looks out. “Oh!” she says. “What a wonderful place!” She can see a beautiful country in front of her. There’s green grass everywhere. There are tall trees with all kinds of fruit on them. There are brightly coloured birds in the branches of the trees. There are lots of flowers and pretty butterflies.

Her dress is also white and it’s covered with silver stars. She walks up to Dorothy and says, “Welcome to the land of the Munchkins! Thank you for killing the Wicked Witch of the East for us. Now our people are free.” “You’re very kind but you’re wrong,” Dorothy replies. “I don’t know the Wicked Witch of the East.” “Look!” the old woman says. “She’s there! Under your house! You can see her feet!” Dorothy looks and sees a pair of feet in silver shoes. She can’t see the rest of the body because it’s under the house. “I’m the Witch of the North. ” the woman says. “There are four witches in Oz, I’m a good witch. The Witch of the South is also a good witch. She lives in the land of the Quadlings.
