倒数第8天(5月29日)(2020新课标全国卷)It happened to me recently.I was telling someone how much I had enjoyed reading Barack Obamas Dreams From My Father and how it had changed my views of our President.A friend I was talking to agreed with me that it was，in his words，“a brilliantly(精彩地) written book”However，he then went on to talk about Mr.Obama in a way which suggested he had no idea of his background at all.I sensed that I was talking to a book liar.And it seems that my friend is not the only one.Approximately two thirds of people have lied about reading a book which they havent.In the World Book Days “Report on Guilty Secrets”，Dreams From My Father is at number 9.The report lists ten books，and various authors，which people have lied about reading，and as Im not one to lie too often (Id hate to be caught out)，Ill admit here and now that I havent read the entire top ten.But I am pleased to say that，unlike 42 percent of people，I have read the book at number one，George Orwells 1984.I think its really brilliant.The World Book Day report also has some other interesting information in it.It says that many people lie about having read Jane Austen，Charles Dickens，Fyodor Dostoevsky (I havent read him，but havent lied about it either) and Herman Melville.Asked why they lied，the most common reason was to “impress” someone they were speaking to.This could be tricky if the conversation became more indepth!But when asked which authors they actually enjoy，people named JK.Rowling，John Grisham，Sophie Kinsella (ah，the big sellers，in other words)Fortytwo percent of people asked admitted they turned to the back of the book to read the end before finishing the story (Ill come clean：I do this and am astonished that 58 percent said they had never done so)1How did the author find his friend a book liar?ABy judging his manner of speaking.BBy looking into his background.CBy mentioning a famous name.DBy discussing the book itself.解析推理判断题。根据文章第一段的最后两句“However, he then went on to talk abour Mr.Obama in a way which suggested he had no idea of his background at all.I sensed that I was talking to a book liar.”可以推断出通过讨论这本书的内容作者进而发现朋友在撒谎，故选D。其中，选项A在文中没有体现；选项B偷梁换柱，利用文中出现的his(Mr.Obama) background来迷惑考生；选项C看似在文中首段第二、三句有所体现，但它并不能很好地回答题干所提出的问题，答非所问，故排除。答案D2Which of the following is a “guilty secret” according to the World Book Day report?ACharles Dickens is very low on the topten list.B42% of people pretended to have read 1984.CThe author admitted having read 9 books.DDreams From My Father is hardly read.解析细节理解题。根据文章第二段最后两句“But I am pleased to say that, unlike 42 percent of people, I have read the book at number one, George Orwells 1984.I think its really brilliant.”可知答案。选项A和D提到的细节在文中是有出现，但是选项的内容无法从文章中得出结论；选项C的信息作者在本文没有叙述。答案B3By lying about reading，a person hopes to_.Acontrol the conversationBappear knowledgeableClearn about the bookDmake more friends解析推理判断题。根据文章第四段第一句“Asked why they lied, the most common reason was to impress someone they were speaking to.”可知答案为B项。答案B4What is the authors attitude to 58% of readers?AFavorable.
