【題目】How to Form a Positive Reading Habit

Books are a source of joy, learning, insight and imagination. How we choose what to read says a lot about our preferences and passions. 【1】

Give old favorites a re-read

There is a particular kind of pleasure that comes with easing open a well-worn book, flipping through pages you have thumbed before, maybe multiple times. 【2】 It can bring you back to the time in your life when you last met those characters. You’re left with a rich reflection on who you were, who you are and where you turn for meaning and inspiration.

Learn something new

If you are a lover of novels, think about what your favorites have in common.【3】 That can send you down a glorious rabbit hole of non-fiction books that will brighten your understanding of times, places and people who already live in your imagination.

【4】

Book clubs are positive on so many levels, not least of which is that they open your mind to books you might not otherwise have considered. If you don’t belong to one — and even if you do — try to think about your reading choices in a public way. Ask friends what they are reading and go with any recommendations that interest you.

Give yourself permission to move on

Sometimes you just can’t get through a book — and that’s okay. Just like living positively means acknowledging when it’s time to let go of something that isn’t serving you well, reading positively means giving yourself permission to close a book that isn’t keeping you interested or inspired. 【5】. The positive pleasure of reading is indeed unending.

A.Get social

B.Set up a book club

C.There are unlimited choices to turn to instead, after all

D.Here are some tips for making reading a positive habit in your life

E.Reading books that you enjoy helps maintain your habit and become a life-long reader

F.Re-reading favorite books can do more than bring you back into beloved worlds and stories

G.A particular time in history, region of the world or type of character may become a new theme

【答案】

【1】D

【2】F

【3】G

【4】A

【5】C

【解析】

這是一篇說明文。文章介紹“如何養(yǎng)成積極的閱讀習(xí)慣”。

【1】根據(jù)上文提示“我們?nèi)绾芜x擇閱讀內(nèi)容，很大程度上反映了我們的偏好和熱情。”承接上文，D項(xiàng)Here are some tips for making reading a positive habit in your life（這里有一些使閱讀成為你生活中積極的習(xí)慣的建議）切題。故選D。

【2】根據(jù)上文提示“打開一本破舊的書，翻看你以前翻看過的書頁，也許是翻看過很多遍，會帶來一種特別的快樂。”再根據(jù)下文提示“它可以把你帶回到你生命中最后一次見到這些人物的時候。”承接上下文，F項(xiàng) Re-reading favorite books can do more than bring you back into beloved worlds and stories（重讀你喜歡的書不僅能把你帶回到你喜歡的世界和故事里。）切題。故選F。

【3】根據(jù)上文提示“如果你是小說愛好者，想想你最喜歡的小說有什么共同點(diǎn)。”再根據(jù)下文提示“這會讓你進(jìn)入一個非小說類書籍的極好的愛的拐點(diǎn)，讓你對生活在你想象中的時間、地點(diǎn)和人物有更深刻的理解。”承接上下文，G項(xiàng)A particular time in history, region of the world or type of character may become a new theme（一個特定的歷史時期，世界的地域或人物的類型可能成為一個新的主題）切題。故選G。

【4】此空是小標(biāo)題，應(yīng)該用短小精悍的祈使句，在A、B中選擇。再根據(jù)下文提示“讀書俱樂部在很多方面都是積極的，其中最重要的一點(diǎn)是，它能讓你敞開心扉，閱讀那些你可能從未考慮過的書籍。”由此可知A項(xiàng)Get social（交際起來）切題。故選A。

【5】根據(jù)下文提示“閱讀的積極的樂趣確實(shí)是無止境的。”承接下文，C項(xiàng)There are unlimited choices to turn to instead, after all（畢竟，我們有無限的選擇可以去選。）切題。選C。

【題目】 On my fourth day in a self-driving car, I finally felt comfortable enough to let it stop itself. Before then, I'd allowed the car-a Volvo S90 sedan-to control the direction, with my hands still on the wheel, and to adjust speed in traffic. By Day 4, I was ready to make a jump into the future.

With the car traveling on a busy road, I activated the driverless mode. Soon, a traffic light turned red. For a split second, I prepared to get on the brakes. There was no need. The cameras and computers in the Volvo recognized the traffic conditions and smoothly began applying the brake.

If you're anything like most people, you're familiar with this anxiety. Almost 80 percent of Americans fear traveling in a self-driving car, a recent survey found.

Researchers at the University of Chicago have conducted some clever experiments studying the phenomenon. They asked participants to complete tasks and compare their performance with a computer system's. After the computer made a mistake, people were unwilling to use it again. After the people made mistakes, their self-confidence wouldn't change. It didn't matter that the human beings made more mistakes than the computer. So it is with driving. More than 37,000 Americans died in crashes last year, most from human error. The death count from cars goes beyond that from guns. So if you are shocked and angry by guns and want things to change, you should feel the same about car crashes.

Technology creates an opportunity to save lives. Computers don't get drunk or distracted by text messages, and they don't have blind spots. Just look at commercial airlines: Automation has helped all but get rid of deadly crashes among American air carriers. The last one happened in 2009.

The technology for self-driving cars still isn't good enough. But it is improving rapidly. Within a few years, many cars will have advanced crash-avoidance systems and driving will be revolutionized sooner than many people now understand.

【1】How does the author introduce the topic?

A.By offering a piece of news.B.By giving background information.

C.By describing an experience.D.By introducing a latest car.

【2】What can be learnt about the participants of the experiments?

A.They tended to accept the computer's faults.

B.They seemed to care little about their own mistakes.

C.They felt less confident after making mistakes.

D.They performed better than computer systems.

【3】The author mentioned commercial airlines___________.

A.to prove the advantage of technologyB.to assess the security of driverless cars

C.to find fault with computersD.to advertise for the commercial airlines

【4】What does the author expect of the self-driving car?

A.I'll avoid deadly crashes entirely.B.It'll occupy the market in a short time.

C.It'll be bettered in every possible way.D.It'll be popularized sooner than expected.
