different story. apart from a few indian novels and the australian and south african book, my literature collection consisted of british and american titles. worse still, i hardly ever read anything in translation. my reading was limited to stories by english-speaking authors.so, at the start of 2012, i set myself the challenge of trying to read a book from every country in a year to find out what i was missing. as i was unlikely to find publications from nearly 200 nations on the shelves of my local bookshop, i decided to ask the planets readers for help. i created a blog called a year of reading the world and put out an appeal for suggestions of titles that i could read in english.the response was amazing. before i knew it, people all over the planet were getting in touch with ideas and offers of help. some posted me books from their home countries. others did hours of research on my behalf. in addition, several writers sent me unpublished translations of their novels, giving me a rare opportunity to read works otherwise unavailable to the 62% of the british who only speak english. even so, selecting books was no easy task. with translations making up only around 4.5 percent of literary works published in the uk and ireland, getting english versions (版本)of stories was difficult.but the effort was worth it. i found i was visiting the mental space of the storytellers. these stories not only opened my mind to the real life in other places, but opened my heart to the way people there might feel.and that in turn changed my thinking. through reading the stories shared with me by bookish strangers around the globe, i realised i was not alone, but part of a network that spread all over the planet. 21. which of the following might be found on the blog a year of reading the world?a. lists of english version books. b. research on english literature.c. unfinished novels by british writers.d. comments on english literature.22. why was it hard for the author to select the right books to read? a. the author had a busy schedule.b. the author was only interested in a few topics.c. the author could only read books written in english.d. most books recommended are not available in local bookshops.23. the author is probably from_.a. americab. the ukc. australiad. canada24. which of the following words can best describe the authors experience?a. fast and effortless b. challenging but rewardingc. hopeless but beneficiald. meaningful but fruitless【参考答案】21-24 acbb【河北省邯郸市2014一模试题】bmy oldest child, emma, just returned to campus after a long holiday break to finish up her last period of college. these days, friends and family have begun flooding me with one question: what is she going to do after graduation?the job market is, after all, awfully tough. just this month thefederal reservebank published a studyshowing that “recent graduates are increasingly working in low-paidjobsor working part-time.” the bright spot, according to the study, is for students who majored(主修) in stem science, technology, engineering and mathematics areas in which recent graduates “have tended to do relatively well”. but emma is a student of the humanities(人文) at a small college. shes an american studies major with a focus on the politics and culture of food. for quite a while, i think her field of study is so fashionable right now that im not the least bit worried she will find a good job.yet the more ive thought about it, the more ive decided to be honest. “im not sure what emma is going to do,” i now say. “but shes gotten a great education and has really found her interest. and i know those things will serve her well over the course of her life.”nowadays, more and moreuniversities and collegesare being measured by the salaries of their recent graduates. in this climate, encouraging your kid to study the humanities, seems, at best, unwise or, at worst, unconcerned with earning a living. but a college is not a vocational(职业) school. and promoting stem subjects should not be societys only answer to helping the next generation grow in a competitive world.from the beginning, we never urged emma to pick a college or a major with an eye on its expectedreturn on money, as more and more families are doing.to emma, what really matters will be something that we may not be able to measure for quite a long time: emmas contribution to the world and how happy she is in it.25. the authors friends and familya. are worried about emmas safetyb. have been worrying about the floodc. are concerned about emmas futured. are worried about the job market 26. what can we learn from paragraph 2?a. the number of the graduates is increasing.b. stem graduates can be better employees.c. stem graduates are in relatively greater demand.d. more and more graduates like to do a part-time job.27. why did emma choose a major in the humanities?a. because she is interested in it.b. because her mother told her to.c. because it is increasingly popular.d. because she wants further education.28. according to the author, what matters most in choosing a major is that_. a. it should be among the stem b. it should be fashionable and interestingc. it should allow a good job and a high salaryd. it should bring achievements and happiness【参考答案】25-28 ccad【河北省邯郸市2014一模试题】crecently a study, led by pedro hallal of the federal university, suggests that nearly a third of adults, 31%, are not getting enough exercise. that rates of exercise have declined is hardly a new discovery. since the beginning of the industrial revolution, technology and economic growth have helped to create a world in which taking exercise is more and more an option rather than a necessity. but only recently have enough good data been collected from enough places to carry out the sort of analysis dr hallal and his colleagues have engaged in.there are common themes in different places. unsurprisingly, people in rich countries are less active than those in poor ones, and old people are less active than young ones. less obviously, women tend to exercise less than men34% are inactive, compared with 28% of men. but there are exceptions. the women of croatia, finland, iraq and luxembourg, for example, move more than their male countrymen.malta wins the race for most slothful country, with 72% of adults getting too little exercise, and swaziland and saudi arabia are in close behind, with 69%. in bangladesh, just 5% of adults fail to exercise enough. surprisingly, six americans in ten are active enough according to dr hallals study, compared with fewer than four in ten british. these high rates of inactivity are worrying. human beings seem to have evolved(进
