A recent story from The Wall Street Journal reported on a book club in Wellington, New Zealand, where members meet in a cafe and turn off their smartphones.They sit in comfortable chairs and read in silence for an hour.Unlike traditional book clubs, the point of the slow reading club isnt to share ideas about a certain book, but to get away from electronic devices and read in a quiet, relaxed environment. Slow readers, such as The Atlantics Maura Kelly, say a regular reading habit sharpens the mind, improves attention, lowers stress levels and deepens the ability to understand others.Some of these benefits have been backed up by science.For example, a study of 300 elderly people published by the journal Neurology last year showed that adults who take part in activities that use their brain, such as reading, suffer(遭受) less memory loss as they get older. Yet technology has made us less careful readers.Computer and phone screens have changed our reading patterns from the top-to-bottom, left-to-right reading order we traditionally used, to a wild skimming and skipping pattern as we search for important words and information.Reading text online that has many links to other web pages also leads to weaker understanding than reading plain text(純文本).The Internet may have made us stupider, says British journalist Patrick Kingsley from the Guardian, only half joking.Because of the Internet, he says, we have become very good at collecting a large number of interesting news, but we are also gradually forgetting how to sit back, think and relate all these facts to each other. Slowing reading means a return to an uninterrupted, straight pattern, in a quiet environment.Aim for 30 minutes a day, advises Kelly from The Atlantic.“You can squeeze in(擠出) that half hour pretty easily if only during your free moments—whenever you want to check your favorite site for something to pass the time—you pick up a meaningful work of literature,” Kelly said. 13.The words “backed up” in Paragraph 3 probably mean “　　　　”. A.given back B.called back C.supported D.disagreed 14.Kingsley believes that the Internet has weaken peoples ability to 　　　　. A.get key words rapidly B.share ideas about books C.collect interesting news D.think deeply about information 15.According to the passage, slow reading 　　　　. A.improves understanding among people B.treats the memory loss of elderly people C.provides people with a quiet environment D.slows down the development of electronic device 16.Whats the best title for the passage? A.Benefits of Reading Clubs B.Return of Slow Reading C.Reading of the Internet Age D.Influence of Speed Reading Ⅲ.[xx東城期末] 閱讀短文,根據(jù)短文回答問題 The Art of the Elephants If your cat walked across something you were painting and left footprints behind, would you consider your cat an artist? What if your bird held a colored pencil in its beak(喙) and painted on a piece of paper? Most people may think of animal art as a joke, but some people have been taking it very seriously. Elephants were used for hundreds of years in Thailands logging industry(伐木業(yè)).They moved wood from forests in areas where there were no roads.At the beginning of this century, when the forests of Thailand began to quickly disappear, the government put a stop to logging.All of a sudden, many elephants in Thailand no longer had a way to make a living. Some elephants were treated badly.Others had to try to live on their own and couldnt find enough food to eat.There were once tens of thousands of elephants in Thailand.Today, there are less than five thousand.When two Russian American artists, Vitaly Komar and Alex Melamid, first heard about the troubled elephants in Thailand, they knew that something had to be done to forever change the way people treated Thai elephants.Then, they came up with an idea to help these elephants. Komar and Melamid visited elephant camps in Thailand and began to show the elephant trainers how to teach the elephants to paint.At first, the trainers had to guide the elephants trunks.The elephants became more comfortable doing this with practice—and lots of sweet snacks—and finally started to paint on their own.The strange idea that Komar and Melamid had to save the elephants actually began to work.They even helped found several elephant art schools in Thailand and in other Asian countries.The elephants and their trainers go there to learn about painting and get supplies they need. Today, people begin to buy elephant artworks from galleries(畫廊) all around the world.Some are even willing to pay more than $2,000 for the works of the elephant artists! Some people compare the cheerful, brightly-colored artworks to the works of some great abstract(抽象的) painters.Some people are just happy to buy these special and original(原創(chuàng)的) artworks.Others think they are helping the troubled elephants in this way.The next time you see a piece of colorful abstract art, find out who the artist is.You just may be surprised at what you learn! 17.What may most people think of animal art? 18.What did elephants do in Thailands logging industry? 19.How many elephants are there in Thailand today? 20.What was Komar and Melamids idea to help the elephants in Thailand? 21.Please list one reason why people buy elephant artworks.  參考答案 Ⅰ.1—6　DBDADD　7—12　BCDCCC Ⅱ.[主旨大意] 在網(wǎng)絡(luò)時代,快速閱讀是很必要的一項技能,但是本文號召人們享受慢速閱讀,遠離電子設(shè)備,在安靜,放松的環(huán)境中閱讀,有規(guī)律的慢速閱讀習慣會使我們的思想更敏銳,提高注意力,減輕壓力,加深對別人的理解,號召人們在空閑時間享受慢速閱讀。 13.C　本段舉例說參加慢速閱讀這種使用腦子的活動會使我們老的時候避免少失憶,所以這些慢速閱讀的益處是被科學支持的。故選C。 14.D　根據(jù)第四段最后一句“Because of the Internet, he says, we have become very good at collecting a large number of interesting news, but we are also gradually forgetting how to sit back, think and relate all these facts to each other.”可知,因為網(wǎng)絡(luò),我們擅長收集大量的有趣的新聞,但是我們也逐漸忘記了坐下來,思考,把所有的事實連接起來。故推測網(wǎng)絡(luò)削弱了人們深度思考的能力。故選D。 15.A　根據(jù)第三段第一句“Slow readers, such as The Atlantics Maura Kelly, say a regular reading habit sharpens the mind, improves attention, lowers stress levels and deepens the ability to understand others.”可知,慢速閱讀的優(yōu)點是提高人們的理解能力。故選A。 16.B　通讀全文可知本文主要是號召人們享受慢速閱讀,關(guān)鍵詞是slow reading。 故選B。 Ⅲ.17.Most people may think of animal art as a joke. 18.They moved wood from forests in areas where there were no roads. 19.There are less than five thousand./Less than five thousand. 20.They showed elephants trainers how to teach elephants to paint. 21.Some people compare the cheerful, brightly-colored artworks to the works of some great painters./Some people are just happy to buy these special and original artworks./Some people think they are helping the troubled elephants in this way.
