浙江瑞安县2016高考英语（二轮）阅读理解精练（4）【2015高考复习】阅读理解 “one city one book” is a generic name (通称) for a community reading program that attempts to get everyone in a city to read and discuss the same book.popular book picks have been harper lees to kill a mockingbird，ernest gainess a lesson before dying，and ray bradburys fahrenheit 451.“one city one book” programs take the idea of a localized book discussion club and expand it to cover a whole city.the first such program was “if all of seattle read the same book” in 1998，started by nancy pearl at seattle public librarys washington center for the book.the book chosen for the program was the sweet hereafter by russell banks，written in 1991.other cities copied the idea，and the library of congress listed 404 programs occurring in 2007.each citys program has its own goals；these typically include building a sense of community and promoting literacy.nancy pearl warns against expecting too much from a program：“keep in mind that this is a library program，its not an exercise in civics，and that its not intended to have literature cure the racial divide.this is about a work of literature.” programs typically involve more than having everyone read the same book.some other activities that have been included are：book discussion sessions，scholarly lectures on the book or related topics，a visit by the author，exhibits，related arts programming (especially showing a movie of the book if there is one)，and integration into school curricula.in boston the “one city one story” program used shorter stories and distributed tens of thousands of free copies of the story over the course of a month.american library association puts out a detailed stepbystep guide on how to organize a local program，including the critical step of picking the one book.the center for the book at the library of congress tracks all known programs and the books they have used.【语篇解读】本文是说明文，介绍了美国开展的“一个城市，一本书”的读书活动。4“one city one book” programs_.aask everyone in a

saying that has had a great effect on rock-and-roll music. that saying is “a rolling stone gathers no moss（苔藓）”it has several meanings. one meaning is that a person who never settles down in one place will not be successful. anotheris that someone who is always moving, with no roots in one place, avoids responsibilities.this proverb was said to be first used in the 1500s. but in the 1960s, the expression “rolling stone” became famous in the world of rock-and-roll music. it became the name of a song, a rock group and a magazine.experts say it all started with a song by the american singer and guitarist muddy waters. he was one of the countrys top blues musicians until his death in 1983. his music influenced singers like elvis presley and bob dylan. in 1950, muddy waters recorded a song called “rolling stone”a british rock group is said to have taken its name from muddy waters song. the rolling stones performed for the first time in 1962.the groups members called themselves “theworlds greatest rock-and-roll band”in 1965, bob dylan released （发行）his song “like a rolling stone”it is one of his best known and most influential works.it is an angry song about a woman who was once rich and successful. but now she is on her own, “with no direction home, like a complete unknown, like a rolling stone”.in 1967, a young man named jann wenner started a magazine and he named it “rolling stone”. the magazine reported on rock music and the popular culture that the music created. by 1971, “rolling stone” had become the leading rock music and counterculture publication. it is

english speakers on both sides of the atlantic deal with commonly misspelt words.sixtytwo percent of americans got “embarrassed” wrong，against 54 percent of britons who struggled with the word in a survey last year.adults in the us performed less well on most of the ten words tested，including millennium (52 percent wrong，against 43 percent in the uk)，liaison (61 percent to 54 percent) and “accommodation” (42 percent to 36 percent )only “definitely” and “friend” were spelt correctly by more americans.jack bovill of the spelling society，which sponsored (发起) the research，said the high inaccuracy rates in both countries showed the need for the english spelling system to be modernized.“when asked，only a quarter of adults thought they had a problem with spelling.the answers in the test prove that this_is_far_from_the_case，” he said.“what is holding the uk and the usa back is the irregular spelling system.”professor edward baranowski，one academic consultant for the project，said，“we have different spellings for the same sound，and a system which reflects how english was spoken in the 13th to 15th centuries，not how it is spoken today.so many sound changes have occurred in the language，which is not reflected in modern spelling，that we are left with a fossilized (僵化的) system.”the study found that 40 percent of the respondents would support updating words that caused problems while 16 percent opposed the idea.and 31 percent said it didnt matter.the us survey involving a sample of 1,000 adults was carried out online by ipsos mori last month，with the method based on a survey of 1,000 britons in april last year.【语篇解读】 一项调查发现，美国人在单词拼写方面不如英国人。1the underlined word “inaccuracy” in paragraph 3 can best be replaced by _.asuccess berror ccorrectness dgrowth答案b词义猜测题。根据本句的“showed the need for the english spelling system to be modernized”，联系第二段英美成年人较高的拼写错误率，可知inaccuracy可用error来代替，都是“错误”的意思。2the underlined part “this is far from the case” in paragraph 3 implies that _.amost of the americans can spell correctlybthere are more people having spelling problemscadults perform worse in spelling than kidsdit is difficult to create a new spelling system答案b推理判断题。联系上一句“when asked，only a quarter of adults thought they had a problem with spelling”可知，bovill是想说，这项研究表明，实际上很多人都存在拼写问题。3professor baranowski seems to agree that _.aspelling should represent the sound of wordsbwe should learn how english was spoken centuries agocdifferent countries should have different spellingsdsound changes have nothing to do with spelling答案a推理判断题。根据第四段baranowski所说的话可知，他认为拼写应该表现单词的发音。represent意为“表现”，reflect意为“反映”，此处两者含义一致。4what would be the most suitable title of the passage?awho is responsible for our spellingbthe english language to be blamedcamericans embarrassed by their spellingsdwords needed to be modernized答案c主旨大意题。c项标题一语双关，embarrassd一词既表明了美国人拼写的尴尬现状，又涉及了拼写调查的部分内容。阅读理解(每题2分，满分8分)(2012广东卷)“have a nice day！” may be a pleasant gesture or a meaningless expression.when my friend maxie says “have a nice day” with a smile，i know she sincerely cares about what happens to me.i feel loved and secure since another person cares about me and wishes me well.“have a nice day.next！” this version of the expression is spoken by a salesgirl at the supermarket who is rushing me and my groceries out the door.the words come out in the same tone (腔调) with a fixed procedure.they_are_spoken_at_me，not to me.obviously，the concern for my day and everyone elses is the managements attempt to increase business.the expression is one of those behaviors that help people get along with each other.sometimes it indicates the end of a meeting.as soon as you hear it，you know the meeting is at an end.sometimes the expression saves us when we dont know what to say.“oh，you just had a tooth out？im terribly sorry，but have a nice day.”the expression can be pleasant.if a stranger says “have a nice day” to you，you may find it heartwarming because someone you dont know has tried to be nice to you.although the use of the expression is an insincere，meaningless social custom at times，there is nothing wrong with the sentence except that it is a little uninteresting.the salesgirl，the waitress，the teacher，and all the countless others who speak it without thinking may not really care about my day.but in a strange and comfortable way，its nice to kn
