13、razil on a world map.“Part of the problem,” argue the organizers of the survey, “is the Internet.” They say it is becoming harder to find high-quality information about world events among all the fake news and trivia (琐事) which swamp (淹没) the web. Forty-three percent of those questioned said they re

14、ad about the news on Facebook.Another problem is that most college courses do not require students to learn about international issues. If such information is not required, Richard Haass from the Council on Foreign Relations said, then the United States could have leaders like Gary Johnson. He was a

The young people also demonstrated a good understanding of climate change and renewable energy. And the majority of them said that international iss

20、day”, or online on “Cyber Monday”, Americans and people worldwide are preparing for newly popular “Giving Tuesday”.

21、ed Nations Foundation.As the name indicates, Giving Tuesday is meant to restart the charitable season and therefore observed by raising funds for local nonprofits and schools, organizing food and clothing drives, and conducting random acts of kindness.

22、together to donate $116.7 million in cash.

You can give back by volunteering at your local shelter or food bank, or even by

23、donating blood.

27、not understand or use modern technology. Activities like playing computer games，going on the Net and downloading MP3s are only for the youngsters. Isnt it unfair that older people enjoying a computer game should be frowned upon（反对）by their children and grandchildren？Nowadays older people have more c

44、（10分） According to Guglielmo Cavallo and Roger Chartier, reading aloud was a common practice in the ancient world, the Middle Ages, and as late as the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Readers were “listeners attentive to a reading voice,” and “the text addressed to the ear as much as to the eye.

45、” The significance of reading aloud continued well into the nineteenth century.Using Charles Dickenss nineteenth century as a point of departure, it would be useful to look at the familial and social uses of reading aloud and reflect on the functional change of the practice. Dickens habitually read

46、his work to a domestic audience or friends. In his later years he also read to a broader public crowd. Chapters of reading aloud also abound in Dickenss own literary works. More importantly, he took into consideration the Victorian practice when composing his prose, so much so that his writing is me

47、ant to be heard, not only read on the page.Performing a literary text orally in a Victorian family is well documented. Apart from promoting a pleasant family relationship, reading aloud was also a means of protecting young people from the danger of solitary（孤独的）reading. Reading aloud was a tool for

48、parental guidance. By means of reading aloud, parents could also introduce literature to their children, and as such the practice combined leisure and more serious purposes such as religious cultivation in the youths. Within the family, it was commonplace for the father to read aloud. Dickens read t

49、o his children: one of his surviving and often-reprinted photographs features him posing on a chair, reading to his two daughters.Reading aloud in the nineteenth century was as much a class phenomenon as a family affair, which points to a widespread belief that Victorian readership primarily meant a

50、 middle-class readership. Those who fell outside this group tended to be overlooked by Victorian publishers. Despite this, Dickens, with his publishers Chapman and Hall, managed to distribute literary reading materials to people from different social classes by reducing the price of novels. This was

51、 also made possible with the technological and mechanical advances in printing and the spread of railway networks at the time.Since the literacy level of this section of the population was still low before school attendance was made compulsory in 1650 by the Education Act a considerable number of pe

52、ople from lower classes would listen to recitals of texts. Dickenss readers, who were from such social backgrounds, might have heard Dickens in this manner. Several biographers of Dickens also draw attention to the fact that it was typical for his texts to be read aloud in Victorian England, and thu

53、s literacy was not an obstacle for reading Dickens. Reading was no longer a chiefly closeted form of entertainment practiced by the middle class at home.A working class home was in many ways not convenient for reading: there were too many distractions, the lighting was bad, and the home was also oft

54、en half a workhouse. As a result, the Victorians from the non-middle classes tended to find relaxation outside the home such as in parks and squares, which were ideal places for the public to go while away their limited leisure time. Reading aloud, in particular public reading, to some extent blurre

55、d the distinctions between classes. The Victorian middle class defined its identity through differences with other classes. Dickenss popularity among readers from the non-middle classes contributed to the creation of a new class of readers who read through listening.Different readers of Dickens were

56、 not reading solitarily and “jealously,” to use Walter Benjamins term. Instead, they often enjoyed a more communal experience, an experience that is generally lacking in todays world. Modern audiobooks can be considered a contemporary version of the practice. However, while the twentieth and twentie

57、th-first-century trend for individuals to listen to audiobooks keeps some characteristics of traditional reading aloudsuch as “listeners attentive to a reading voice” and the ear being the focusit is a far more solitary activity.1、What does the author want to convey in Paragraph 1?AThe history of re
