started in seattles public library has spread throughout america and beyond. the concept is simple: help to build a sense of community in a city by getting everyone to read the same book at the same time.in addition to encouraging reading as a pursuit (追求) to be enjoyed by all, the program allows strangers to communicate by discussing the book on the bus, as well as promoting reading as an experience to be shared in families and schools. the idea came from seattle librarian nancy pearl who launched (发起）the if all of seattle read the same book project in 1998. her original program used author visits, study guides and book discussion groups to bring people together with a book, but the idea has since expanded to many other american cities, and even to hongkong.in chicago, the mayor(市长）appeared on television to announce the choice of to kill a mockingbird as the first book in the one book, one chicago program. as a result, reading clubs and neighbourhood groups sprang up around the city. across the us, stories emerged of parents and children reading to each other at night and strangers chatting away on the bus about plot and character. the only problem arose in new york , where local readers could not decide on one book to represent the huge and diverse population. this may show that the idea works best in medium-sized cities or large towns, where a greater sense of unity(一致）can be achieved .or it may show that new yorkers rather missed the point ,putting all their energy and passion into the choice of the book rather than discussion about a book itself. ultimately, as nancy points out, the level of success is not measured by how many people read a book, but by how many people are enriched by the process, or have enjoyed speaking to someone with whom they would not otherwise have shared a word.16. what is the purpose of the project launched by nancy?a. to invite authors to guide readers.b. to encourage people to read and share.c. to involve people in community service.d. to promote the friendship between cities.17. why was it difficult for new yorkers to carry out the project?a. they had little interest in reading.b. they were too busy to read a book. c. they came from many different backgroundsd.t hey lacked support from the local government18. according to the passage, where would the project be more easily carried out?a. in large communities with little sense of unityb. in large cities where libraries are far from homec. in medium-sized cities with a diverse populationd .in large towns where agreement can be quickly reached19. the underlined words “shared a word” in paragraph 5 probably mean a. exchanged ideas with each otherb. discussed the meaning of a wordc. gained life experience d. used the same language20. according to nancy, the degree of students of the project is judged by_a. the careful selection of a proper bookb. the growing popularity of the writersc. the number of people who benefit from reading.d. the number of books that each person reads.【参考答案】1620、bcdac 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的a.b.c和d项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。aa company planning to open the first hotel in space says it is on target to accept its first paying guests in 2012 despite critics questioning the investment and the length of time for the multibilliondollar project.the barcelonabased architects of the galactic suite space resort say it will cost $4.4 million for a threenight stay at the hotel. this price also includes an eightweek training course on an island. during their stay, guests would see the sunrise 15 times a day and travel around the world every 80 minutes. galactic suite ltds ceo xavier claramunt says the project will put his company in a leading position of a new industry with a huge future ahead of it, and forecasts space travel will become common in the future. “its very normal to think that your children, possibly within 15 years, could spend a weekend in space” he told reuters television.a promising space tourism industry is beginning to take shape with construction in progress in new mexico of spaceport america, the worlds first facility built specifically for passengers. british industrialist richard bransons space tours firm, virgin galactic, will use the facility to send tourists to space at a cost of $200,000 a ride.galactic suite ltd, set up in 2007, hopes to start its project with a single pod (分离舱) in orbit 280 miles above the earth. “it will take a day and a half to reach the pod, and the passengers will join it for three days,” claramunt said. more than 200 people have expressed an interest in traveling to the space hotel and at least 43 people have already reserved it.the numbers are similar for virgin galactic with 300 people already paid or signed up for the trip, but unlike branson, galactic suite says they will use russian rockets to transport their guests into space from a spaceport to be built on an island in the caribbean. but critics have questioned the project, saying the length of time that will be used is unreasonable and also where the money is coming from to support the project.1. whats xavier claramunts attitude towards the space tourism industry?a.quite critical. b.slightly worried.c.highly optimistic. d.fully satisfied.2. virgin galactics guests will be transported into space by using rockets produced in_.a.spain b.americac.britain d.russia3. which of the following is one of the critics concerns about this project?a.it is hard to ensure the safety of tourists.b.there are many technical difficulties.c.it will be a waste of resources.d.it may lack support in money.4. according to the passage, traveling to the space hotel _.a.will soon be possible for common peopleb.has attracted the attention of some peoplec.will make a large profit for the tourist industryd.is considered an industry with a huge future by many people5. whats the best title for the passage?a.the worlds first space hotel is to open in 2012.b.the worlds first commercial spaceport is being built.c.space tourism：a surprising new industry.d.space travel will become common in 15 years.【参考答案】15、cbdba 阅读理解-ccyberspace,data superhighway,multimedia,for those who have seen the future,and the linking of computers,televisions and telephones will change our lives for ever.yet for all the talks of a forthcoming technological utopia,little attention has been given to the implications of these developments for the poor.as for all the new high technology,the west concerns itself with the “how”,while the question of “for whom” is put aside once again.economists are only now realizing the full extent to which the communication revolution has affected the world economy.information technology allows the extension of trade across geographical and industrial boundaries,and transnational corporations take full advantage of it. terms of trade and exchange, interest rates and money movements are more important than the production of goods.the electronic economy made by information technology allows the haves to increase their control on global markets with a destructive impact on the have-nots.for them the result is unstable. developing countries which rely on the production of a small range of goods for export are made to feel like small parts in the international economic machine. as “futures” are traded on computer screens, developing countries simply have less and less control of their destinies.so what are the options of regaining control？one alternative for developing countries is to buy in the latest computers and telecommunications. yet this leads to long-term dependency and perhaps permanent constraints on developing countries economies.communication technology is generally exported from the us, europe or japan；the patents, skills and ability remain in the hands of a few industrialized countries. it is also expensive, therefore imported products and services must be bought on credit usually provided by the very countries whose companies stand to gain.11. from the passage we know that the development of high technology is in the interests of_.athe rich countries bscientific developmentcthe local elitesdthe world economy12it can be inferred from the passage that_.ainternational trade should be expandedbthe interests of the poor countries have not been given enough considerationcthe exports of the poor countries should be increaseddcommunication technology in developing countries should be modernized13why does the author say that the electronic economy may have a destructive impact on developing countries?abecause it enables the developed countries to control the international mark
