英語(yǔ)六級(jí)的閱讀練習(xí)

　　But my own worry today is fess that of the overwhelming problem of elemental literacy thanit is of the slightly more luxurious problem of the decline in the skill even of the middle-classreader, of his unwillingness to afford those spaces of silence. those luxuries of domesticityand time and concentration, that surround the image of the classic act of reading. n has beensuggested that almost 80 percent of America's literate, educated teenagers can no longer readwithout an accompanying noise (music) in the background or a television screen flickering (閃爍)at the corner of their field of perception. We know very little about the brain and how it dealswith simultaneous conflicting input, but every common-sense intuition suggests we should beprofoundly alarmed. This violation of concentration} silence, solitude (獨(dú)處的狀態(tài)) goestothe very heart of our notion of literacy; this new form of part-reading, of part-perceptionagainst background distraction renders impossible certain essential acts of apprehensionand concentration, let alone that most important tribute any human being can pay to a poemor a piece of prose he or she really loves, which is to learn it by heart. Not by brain. by heart;the expression is vital.

　　Under these circumstances. the question of what future there is for the arts of reading is a realone. Ahead of us lie technical. psychic(心理的). and social transformations probably much moredramatic than thosebrought about by Gutenberg, the German inventor in printing. TheGutenberg revolution. as we now know it, took a long time; its effects are still being debated.The information revolution will touch every fact ofcomposition. publication. distribution. andreading. No one in the book industry can say with any confidence what will

　　happen to the book as we've known it.

　　C) 令人印象深刻

　　D)非常具有鼓舞性

　　[A]根據(jù)文章第1段第1句“我無(wú)需舉例說(shuō)明那種令人沮喪的受教育狀況”。句中depressing的意思與bleak相近，由此可推斷作者描繪的這幅畫(huà)面是相當(dāng)黯淡的。

　　A) 小學(xué)生對(duì)閱讀課不感興趣

　　B)美國(guó)的文盲率出奇地高

　　D) 中產(chǎn)階級(jí)的閱讀能力和閱讀行為

　　[D]根據(jù)文章第2段第1句“目前我擔(dān)心的倒不是基本文化水平這個(gè)大問(wèn)題，而是一個(gè)較為奢侈的問(wèn)題，即美國(guó)中產(chǎn)階級(jí)讀者閱讀藝術(shù)的衰退，即使是中級(jí)的讀者也不愿意在寂靜無(wú)聲的空間里，放下家庭事務(wù)，付出時(shí)間全神貫注地進(jìn)行經(jīng)典性的閱讀”，因此，只有D才與文中所陳述的意恩相符。

　　3.有閱讀能力的大多數(shù)青少年的`一個(gè)主要問(wèn)題是___________。

　　A) 他們喜歡音樂(lè)和電視節(jié)目

　　B) 他們對(duì)藝術(shù)和文學(xué)多種多樣的形式一無(wú)所知

　　C) 他們?nèi)狈ψ⒁饬突A(chǔ)的知識(shí)

　　D) 他們不能專注于相互沖突的內(nèi)容

　　[C]在第2段第2句和倒數(shù)第二句作者提到“大約80%的有文化、受過(guò)教育的十幾歲的年輕人沒(méi)有背景音樂(lè)和閃爍的電視屏幕的陪伴就無(wú)法閱讀”和“而這種邊閱讀邊在背景的干涉下進(jìn)行理解的新方法使人們不可能對(duì)所閱讀的東西全神貫注地加以理解”，由此可推斷只有C是正確的。

　　4.作者聲稱，讀者展示對(duì)詩(shī)歌或散文青睞的最好的方法就是_______________。

　　A) 能夠理解并記得住

　　B) 分析其最根本的特點(diǎn)

　　C) 有意識(shí)地深刻理解它

　　D) 對(duì)其藝術(shù)價(jià)值作出公平的評(píng)價(jià)

　　[A]根據(jù)文章第2段倒數(shù)第二句“更不用說(shuō)將散文或詩(shī)歌，不是用腦。而是用心背下來(lái)，這是人們欣賞他們所喜歡的詩(shī)歌或散文的最好的方式”，因此A與作者所表述的觀點(diǎn)一致，因而正確。

　　5.對(duì)于閱讀藝術(shù)的未來(lái)，作者感到__________。

　　A) 沮喪

　　B) 不確定

　　C) 警覺(jué)
