The most important thing is to believe in yourself.” “But I can’t!” Adam ran back to his house. He thought learning to ride a two-wheeler was just too hard. The next day, Adam saw the bike in the garage (车库). “Hey, Dad! ▲ ?” “You can’t ride it, so I put it out of the way,” Dad said. Adam didn’t like seeing his bike there.

But we can do some reading with ears, too. Now, its easy to read with ears—by listening to stories, news, and novels and so on. This is audio reading (有声阅读). Many people like doing audio reading in bed before going to sleep. They like to stay in bed in the dark before they fall asleep. They think this would be the best time to do some audio reading. If you read a paper book, you have to turn on the lights and turn the pages with your hands. People can do audio reading when the legs, body and arms are busy. It is a favorite when people are exercising or doing housework. Some people would like to do audio reading in the kitchen. They think it’s boring to cook. So they can enjoy their time by listening to news or stories at the same time. Also, audio reading is helpful for blind people. They can’t see anything clearly, so it was difficult for them to do reading in the past. But now with the help of audio reading, they can listen to what they want. But be careful. Don’t make yourself and others in danger. Let’s take driving for example. If you pay much attention to listening, you can’t be a good driver. 8. What is audio reading? A. It is about doing some reading by eyes. B. It is about doing some reading by hand. C. It is about doing some reading by mouth. D. It is about doing some reading by ears. 9. What does the underlined word “this” mean in paragraph 2? A. People turn on the lights. B. People read a paper book. C. People stay in bed in the dark. D. People turn pages with hands. 10. What can we learn from the passage? A. Paper books are not useful. B. Audio reading helps you cook a nice dish. C. Audio reading makes your body busy. D. Audio reading may be very popular. 11. What can we infer (推断) from the passage? A. When a person is exercising, audio reading is a favorite. B. You have to turn on the lights when you do audio reading. C. Audio reading may be dangerous while driving a car. D. It is difficult for the blind to do some reading now. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了有声阅读的多种使用场景、对盲人群体的帮助，以及需要注意的安全问题。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据“But we can do some reading with ears, too… This is audio reading (有声阅读)”可知，有声阅读是通过耳朵进行的阅读方式。故选D。 【9题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“They like to stay in bed in the dark before they fall asleep. They think this would be the best time…”可知，“this”指代前文提到的“待在黑暗的床上准备入睡”的状态。故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。文章提到很多人喜欢睡前在床上进行有声阅读，人们在锻炼或做家务时也喜欢有声阅读，还提到有声阅读对盲人有帮助，从这些方面可以看出有声阅读受到很多人的喜爱，所以“有声阅读可能非常受欢迎”符合文意。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Don’t make yourself and others in danger… If you pay much attention to listening, you can’t be a good driver”可推知，开车时进行有声阅读可能存在危险。故选C。 D This year, Finland (芬兰) came in first in the World Happiness Report (全球幸福指数报告) for the fifth time. This may be surprising to you because Finland is famous for its cold winters and short daylight. Then learn more about the people’s life there and you may find the answer. In Finland, many people grow up going to the library. “The library is a main part of life for the people here,” Halsas, a tour guide in Finland, said. “They might do schoolwork there or just read. It is a safe environment.” Maybe the best example of this is the Oodi Helsinki Central Library opened in 2018. With different parts, it is not only a place to work but also to live in. Finns love their saunas (桑拿浴), and almost every home has one. There are over 2 million saunas in the country. “There are more saunas than cars here. In the summertime, I go every day,” Halsas said. Taking sauhas is quite good for health, such as making our heart healthier. The people of Finland also love exploring (探索) the outdoors, like going hiking or biking—the landscape (风景) is fantastic. “There is a lot of nature to enjoy and even private lands are open to everyone,” Halsas said. In winter, life doesn’t change too much because Finns are never afraid of the cold and still get around on bicycles. To them, winter just means more activities, such as ice skating, cross-country skiing. 12. What do we know about the Oodi Helsinki Central Library? A.

They walked there because the park was not far from their house. The father wanted his son to learn to ride a bike at the park. But Adam was afraid of falling down. “I can’t do it!” He sat next to his bike. “You can,” his dad said, “Maybe not the first time you try, or even the second time. The most important thing is to believe in yourself.” “But I can’t!” Adam ran back to his house. He thought learning to ride a two-wheeler was just too hard. The next day, Adam saw the bike in the garage (车库). “Hey, Dad! ▲ ?” “You can’t ride it, so I put it out of the way,” Dad said. Adam didn’t like seeing his bike there. He closed his eyes and tried to picture himself riding it. Then he said, “Dad, I believe I can do it now!” It took some more tries, but Adam didn’t give up. Before the day was over, he could ride like the wind. 4. Why did Adam refuse to learn to ride at first? A. He ran a lot and he was so tired. B. He thought it’s hard to learn to ride. C.

Now, its easy to read with ears—by listening to stories, news, and novels and so on. This is audio reading (有声阅读). Many people like doing audio reading in bed before going to sleep. They like to stay in bed in the dark before they fall asleep. They think this would be the best time to do some audio reading. If you read a paper book, you have to turn on the lights and turn the pages with your hands. People can do audio reading when the legs, body and arms are busy. It is a favorite when people are exercising or doing housework. Some people would like to do audio reading in the kitchen. They think it’s boring to cook. So they can enjoy their time by listening to news or stories at the same time. Also, audio reading is helpful for blind people. They can’t see anything clearly, so it was difficult for them to do reading in the past. But now with the help of audio reading, they can listen to what they want. But be careful. Don’t make yourself and others in danger. Let’s take driving for example. If you pay much attention to listening, you can’t be a good driver. 8. What is audio reading? A. It is about doing some reading by eyes. B. It is about doing some reading by hand. C. It is about doing some reading by mouth. D. It is about doing some reading by ears. 9. What does the underlined word “this” mean in paragraph 2? A. People turn on the lights. B. People read a paper book. C. People stay in bed in the dark. D. People turn pages with hands. 10. What can we learn from the passage? A. Paper books are not useful. B. Audio reading helps you cook a nice dish. C. Audio reading makes your body busy. D. Audio reading may be very popular. 11. What can we infer (推断) from the passage? A. When a person is exercising, audio reading is a favorite. B. You have to turn on the lights when you do audio reading. C. Audio reading may be dangerous while driving a car. D. It is difficult for the blind to do some reading now. D This year, Finland (芬兰) came in first in the World Happiness Report (全球幸福指数报告) for the fifth time. This may be surprising to you because Finland is famous for its cold winters and short daylight. Then learn more about the people’s life there and you may find the answer. In Finland, many people grow up going to the library. “The library is a main part of life for the people here,” Halsas, a tour guide in Finland, said. “They might do schoolwork there or just read. It is a safe environment.” Maybe the best example of this is the Oodi Helsinki Central Library opened in 2018. With different parts, it is not only a place to work but also to live in. Finns love their saunas (桑拿浴), and almost every home has one. There are over 2 million saunas in the country. “There are more saunas than cars here. In the summertime, I go every day,” Halsas said. Taking sauhas is quite good for health, such as making our heart healthier. The people of Finland also love exploring (探索) the outdoors, like going hiking or biking—the landscape (风景) is fantastic. “There is a lot of nature to enjoy and even private lands are open to everyone,” Halsas said. In winter, life doesn’t change too much because Finns are never afraid of the cold and still get around on bicycles. To them, winter just means more activities, such as ice skating, cross-country skiing. 12. What do we know about the Oodi Helsinki Central Library? A. It is really a famous library with a long history. B. It is the best library in Finland. C. It’s the safest place to work and live in. D. It’s a nice place for Finns to enjoy their time 13.

Most people in Finland can’t stand the cold weather and short daylight. C. Finns like taking saunas because it’s good for health. D. Finland is famous for its cold winters and short daylight. 15.
