【题目】 The saying, “Don’t judge a book by its cover, means you should not guess the worth or value of something based on how it looks. That message was clear at a recent event called the Human Library Project. The event took place at the Northern Virginia, or NoVa, Community College, outside of Washington. D. C.

The Human Library began 19 years ago in Denmark. It grew from a youth organization called “Stop the Violence”. Today, it is a worldwide movement. At the NoVa event, students got the chance to learn from a person—a “human book”—instead of a library book.

Patricia Cooper organized the event. She said that human books celebrate variety by telling their life stories in an easy-going setting. “The goal of the human library is to talk to people in your community who you may otherwise not speak to because you have your own prejudices (偏见) and hopefully to break down some of these barriers.”

This is the third year that NoVa has held such an event. The collection of human books included a civil rights activist, a scientist from the American space agency NASA, and an opera singer.

Artist Brian Dailey was a human book. He spoke about his travels to 113 countries in seven years. Dailey said that, during his travels, he asked people whom he took pictures of for a one-word answer to a series of other words—such as love, freedom and war. He discovered that people in different countries often had very different reactions to the same word.

When Dailey asked people in Africa about the word “war” they used words like justice, liberation and peace. When he asked the same question to people in Syrian refugee camps, the answer was: “tears, hunger, fear, destruction”.

1Why was the human library organized?

A.To replace the traditional library

B.To offer a lot more information to readers.

C.To make people communicate with each other

D.To improve the living conditions of neighbors.

2What do we learn from the human book of Brian Dailey?

A.His struggle for human rights.

B.His reactions to different cultures.

C.His great achievements in science.

D.His international travel experiences.

3What was the attitude of African people towards war?

A.Positive.B.Critical.

C.Disapproving.D.Uncaring.

4What can be a suitable title for the text?

A.Prefer a Human Book rather Than a Real Book

B.Talk With a Fellow Human from This Library

C.Treat Each Other Kindly to Avoid the Violence

D.Enjoy Reading with the Help of Others

【答案】

1C

2D

3A

【解析】

本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项人类图书馆计划,它始于19年前的丹麦,在这项活动中,学生们有机会向一个人学习,一本人类的书,而不是图书馆里的书。

1推理判断题。根据第三段的第三句The goal of the human library is to talk to people in your community.(人类图书馆的目标是与你所在社区的人们交流。)可知,真人图书馆的目标是让社区中的人相互交流。故选C

2细节理解题。根据第五段的第二句He spoke about his travels to 113 countries in seven years.(他讲述了自己在七年内游历113个国家的经历。)可知,Brian Dailey讲述了自己在七年内游历113个国家的经历。故选D

3推理判断题。根据最后一段的第一句When Dailey asked people in Africa about the word “war” they used words like justice, liberation and peace可知,Dailey向非洲人民询问战争一词时,他们使用了正义、解放和和平等词汇。这说明他们对战争持积极肯定的态度。故选A

4主旨大意题。根据第二段的最后一句students got the chance to learn from a person — a “human book” — instead of a library book可知,文章谈论的是一个人类图书馆计划。活动中,学生们有机会向一个人学习,一本人的书,而不是图书馆里的书。就是跟一个人交流,听别人谈经历。故选B

文章主题和中心思想的阐述往往需要大量细节信息的支持,这些细节对于理解全文内容至关重要,同时也是归纳和概括文章中心思想的基础。命题人往往会要求考生根据不同的要求阅读文章,以获得某些特定的信息,或准确地寻求所需的细节,并对细节进行直接或间接辨认和理解。有一种文章细节理解题是一一对应型。答案与题目在表达形式和意义上直接吻合,一一对应,一目了然。属于浅层次的阅读试题,分数比例较少。解答此类试题时,不必通篇细看原文,而应采取“带着问题找答案”的方法,先从问题中抓住关键性词语(题眼),然后以此为线索,运用略读及查读的技巧快速在文章中寻找与此问题相关的:段落、语句,仔细品味,对照比较,确定答案。如第一小题,根据第三段的第三句The goal of the human library is to talk to people in your community.(人类图书馆的目标是与你所在社区的人们交流。)可知,真人图书馆的目标是让社区中的人相互交流。故选C

【题目】 He has been called France’s youngest leader since Napoleon Bonaparte. Emmanuel Macron, age 39, swept to victory in France’s second-round of presidential election which was held on May 7, 2017. He defeated Marine Le Pen by a large margin of 62% of votes. He was inaugurated (就职) as President.

Both of Macron’s parents were doctors, and he attended one of the most prestigious (有声望的) schools in France, Lycee Henri . From there, he became an investment banker and economy minister. Unlike the other presidential candidates, he has always worked outside of the government.

In April 2016, he created his own political movement, called En Marche! (On the Move!), recruiting (招募) more than 20,000 members. His party’s ideals were neither right-or left-winged, but more independent. As his party became more and more successful, Macron began to think about presidency, something he’d always been interested in. In November 2016, he announced his decision to run in the 2017 election.

Macron’s campaign relied on his political movement. He struggled to win votes from both parties in France, as well as from the working class. In addition, he was the only candidate that was pro-EU, or supportive of European Union.

While in office, Macron’s biggest focus will be on improving the economy. A total of 50 billion will be dedicated to job training and creating green and sustainable energy. Macron also plans to cut down on corporate taxes, improve the public education system, and lower the unemployment rate by 2.7%.

Following the election is the selection of the president’s cabinet (内阁). The Prime Minister position was given to Edouard Philippe, mayor of Northern Le Havre. However, Macrons cabinet is surprising—one France has never seen before: a gender-balanced cabinet. Out of the 22 seats available, 11 will be taken by women and 11 will be filled by men. This percentage is much higher than other European countries.

With each change of leadership come new ideals and changes to the country. Macron needs a parliament (议会) that will support his hopes and dreams for the future of France.

1What did Macron work as before the election?

A.A manager.B.A teacher.

C.A doctor.D.A banker.

2According to the text, Macron ________.

A.founded his party for presidencyB.had no interest in politics before election

C.was on behalf of the working classD.was a supporter of EU

3What is the biggest challenge for Macron?

A.Economy.B.Politics.

C.The private education system.D.The gender discrimination.

4What is special about Macron’s cabinet?

A.Its members are all from his party.

B.It has more women members than other European countries.

C.Most of its members are men.

D.It has chosen a woman as the prime minister.
