阅读理解二轮训练（4）【2020高考复习】阅读理解Public bookshelves are appearing across Germany on street corners，city squares and in suburban supermarkets.In these freeforall libraries，people can grab whatever they want to read，and leave behind anything they want for others.Theres no need to register，no due date，and you can take or give as many as you want.“This project is aimed at everyone who likes to read.It is open for everybody，” Michael Aubermann，one of the organizers of the free book exchange said.The western citys latest public shelf was put up next to Bayenturm.It is the fourth free shelf that Aubermanns group，the Cologne Citizens Foundation，has placed outside.“We set up our other outdoor shelves last year and its been working really well，” said Aubermann.The public bookshelves，which are usually financed by donations and cared for by local volunteer groups，have appeared independently of each other in many cities，suburbs and villages.Each shelf holds around 200 books and it takes about six weeks for a complete turnover，with all the old titles replaced by new ones.Even commercial book stores and online book sellers seem to support the idea of free book exchanges.“We see this project rather as a sales promotion than as competition，” said Elmar Muether.“If books are present everywhere，it helps our business，too.”So far，the Cologne book group has had few problems with damage or other problems.Aubermann said，“Propaganda (宣传) is the only kind of literature we do not allow here.”At another bookshelf in the Bayenthal neighborhood，the lower shelves are reserved for childrens literature only.“It is important that we make it easy for everyone to participate in this reading culture on the streetfrom old readers to kids to immigrants，” Aubermann said.While most of the shelves have so far been put up in upscale_neighborhoods，Aubermann and the 20 volunteers who help look after the project are planning to put up future shelves in poor neighborhoods，where citizens often dont have as much access to literature.【语篇解读】在德国的城市街角、广场和郊区超市，一排排公共书架出现在人们的视野中。你可以随意取阅或捐赠图书。这项免费换书活动得到了人们的支持。1Which of the following is TRUE about the public bookshelves?APeople can take the books and leave their

written after his father had been knifed to death outside his school gate，must have touched everyones heart.Lucien went on to say that without his father he couldnt see the stars in the sky.When those whom we love depart from us，we cannot see the stars for a while.But Lucien，the stars are still there，and one day，when you are older and your tears have gone，you will see them again.And，in a strange way，I expect that you will find your father there，too，in your mind and heart.I find that my parents，who died years ago，still figure in many of my dreams and that I think of them perhaps more than I ever did when they were alive.I still live to please them and Im still surprised by their reactions.I remember that when I became a professor，I was so proud，or rather so pleased with myself that I couldnt wait to cable my parents.The reply was a long time in coming，but when it did，all my mother said was “I hope this means that now you will have more time for the children！” I havent forgotten.The values of my parents still live on.It makes me pause and think about how I will live on in the hearts and minds of my children and of those for whom I care.Would I have been as ready as Philip Lawrence have been to face the aggressors，and to lay down my life for those in my care？How many people would want me back for Christmas？Its a serious thought，one to give me pause.I pray silently，sometimes，in the dead of night，that ancient cry of a poet “Deliver my soul from the sword，and my darling from the power of the dog.” Yet I know the death comes to us all，and sometimes comes suddenly.We must therefore plan to live forever，but live as if we will die tomorrow.We live on，Im sure，in the lives of those we love，and therefore we ought to have a care for what they will remember and what they will treasure.If more parents knew this in their hearts to be true，there might be fewer knives on our streets today.【语篇解读】一个孩子在圣诞节对已经去世的父亲撕心裂肺的呼唤让人情不能已，潸然泪下。孩子，虽然亲人与我们两世相隔，可是他们永远活在我们心中，恍如昨天。虽然世人难免一死，但是如果大家互相关怀，没有了暴力和谋杀，世界岂不更加美好？1According to the whole text we can see that the first paragraph_.Aputs forward

super-strict parenting - Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother has raised fierce debates in the US.Amy Chua is a Yale Law School professor and the mother of two teenage girls. She is the daughter of Chinese immigrants. In the Chinese culture, the tighter represents strength and power. In her book, Ms. Chua writes about how she demanded excellence from her daughters. Chua writes that her daughters, Sophia and Louisa, were never allowed to go on a date, be in a school play, watch TV or play computer games. They couldnt choose their own after-class activities or get any grade less than an A. They had to play piano or violin - and no other musical instruments.She writes that if a Chinese child gets a B - which she says would never happen - there would be a screaming, hair-tearing explosion. She describes making her 7-year-old daughter play a piano piece perfectly - yelling and not letting her leave the bench even to use the bathroom - until it was.Many people have criticized Amy Chua. Some say her parenting methods were abusive. She even admits that her husband, who is not Chinese, objected to her parenting style. But she says that was the way her parents raised her and her three sisters.Stacy Debroff, who has written four books on parenting, says Amy Chuas parenting style is not limited to Chinese families. She says it represents a traditional way of parenting among immigrants seeking a better future for their children. But she also sees a risk. When children have no time to be social or to follow their own interests, they might not develop other skills that they need to succeed in life. Stacy Debroff advises parents not to just repeat the way they were raised.Alison Lo, an assistant professor of marketing at the University of Washingtons Bothell campus, said. I dont think Amy is advocating a best practice of parenting style, or that success and achievements are critical yardsticks of a good life. But I can imagine how strong her daughters college applications are going to be. For many parents whose dreams are seeing their kids graduating from a competitive university, Amy is sharing with the readers that it is achievable by persistent, dedicated parental guidance, Lo said. In that sense, a young adults giftedness can be born, or made.41. We can learn that Amy Chua is _.A. an assistant professor B. an easy-going womanC. A cruel teacher D. A demanding mother42. What are Sophia and Louisa allowed to do?A. Getting an A minus B. Playing the guitarC. Dating with boys D. Playing the piano43. What do you know about Amy Chuas husband?A. He came from China B. He is against her parenting styleC. He approved of her parenting style D. He thinks her parenting methods are abusive44. Stacy Debroff advises parents to _.A. follow Amy Chuas parenting styleB. develop their own style of parentingC. be strict with childrenD. seek a better future for their children45.

Eastbound trips start in Russias capital Moscow, where we have plenty of time to explore. We travel on to Volgograd-better known as Stalingrad-where the Soviets turned the course of the Second World War, before heading for far remoter places that own their importance to a time much further back in history.The Kara Kum desert is followed by the amazing 2,500 year-old cities of Khiva and Bukhara-considered so important by UNESCO that it supported their restoration-and then Samarkand, “the Rome of the East”. Much admired by Alexander the Great, Samarkand is home to Registan Square, a spectacular open space surrounded by beautiful Islamic buildings and considered one of the most inspirational sights in central Asia. In between Khiva and Bukhara we take a two-day excursion into Turkmenistan and visit the
