F. Scott Fitzgerald, born on September 24, 1896, an American novelist, was once a student of St. Paul Academy, the Newman School and attended Princeton University for a short while.
In 1917 he joined the army and was sent to Alabama, where he met his future wife Zelda Sayre. Then he had to make some money to impress her.
His life with her was full of great happiness, as he wrote in his diary: “My own happiness in the past often approached such joy that I could share it even with the person dearest to me but had to walk it away in quiet streets and take down parts of it in my diary.”
This side of Paradise, his first novel, was published in 1920. Encouraged by its success, Fitzgerald began to spend more time on his writing. Then he continued with the novel the Beautiful and Damned (1922), a collection of short stories Tales of the Jazz Age (1922), and a play The Vegetable (1923). But his greatest successful novel, The Great Gatsby, published in 1925, which quickly brought him praise from the literary(文学) world. Yet it failed to give him the needed financial security. Then, in 1926, he published another collection of short stories All the Sad Young Men.
However, Fitzgerald’s problems with his wife Zelda affected his writing. During the 1920s he tried to reorder his life, but failed. By 1930, his wife had her first mental breakdown and went to a Swiss hospital. During this period he completed novels Tender Is the Night in 1934.

Reading is getting more popular among young Chinese. A new survey says that 85% of young people in China read at least 1 book last year. The number of young people who are reading has been rising in recent years, especially for teenagers, who read an average(平均) of 11.5 books.
The data(数据) shows that teenagers spend much more time reading from school textbooks to some other reading materials, such as novels, e— books, magazines and so on. But younger children (ages 2—8) are mainly reading for fun. Compared with the past, the time teenagers spend on pleasure reading has dropped.
When it comes to technology and reading, the server suggests little.It does point out that many parents control the time of electronic reading, mainly because of worrying about increased screen time. However, most Chinese parents are helping their children to develop a reading habit. They are served as examples for their children. More than 70% of Chinese parents spend at least 20 minutes a day reading to their children aged 0 to 8 years old, and visit bookstores with them an average of three times a year. Data shows that kids and teens who do a lot of reading, compared to those who don’t like reading, have more books in the home, and more books brought for them. Their parents read more often, and would like to spare time to read with them.
When was the last time you read a book If you’re one of the countless people who don’t develop a habit of reading, you might be missing out. Everything you read fill your head with new bits of information, and you never know then it might be useful. The more knowledge you have, the better equipped you are to deal with any challenge you’ll face. Remember that although you might lose something else, knowledge can never be taken away from you.
Now open a book, and feed your soul.
36．Why do many parents control the time of their children’s electronic reading

第二节、阅读回答问题（10分）
I liked reading when I was a boy. I would read every word on everything I saw. Most of the time when other kids were playing outside, I enjoyed reading books alone at home. Even now, that reading habit has been with me. I always have at least one book being read books. And I’m always talking about real books, books made of paper and you can hold in your hand to read at the table or on the underground.
However, the number of people reading books is dropping. A recent survey tells us that on average (平均), each American only reads three books a year and in China, about half of the people say they didn’t read a book last year! So what’s stopping people from reading
The answer is the changes that the phone brings to our life. Why read a book when we can watch a movie or a TV play on our smart phones or iPads For young people, books may not be as exciting as online games.
But we can still fall in love with books easily. We all have this thing called imagination. It is more powerful than any computer. In fact, any online game is written
in words as a story by its writer at first. It’s all about his or her imagination.
So we need to read—if we do not read, it will be hard for us to improve our ability (能力) to have an imagination. Reading is a process(过程) in which we need to compare and connect other things we read and saw in the past. If we do not read, this will influence our study as well as our social life in the future.
So why not follow me to enjoy reading now
1. What are real books, in the writer’s opinion
2. How many books does each American read a year according to a survey
3. What’s more exciting than books for young people
4. Why do we still fall in love with books easily
5. What will be influenced if we do not read

F. Scott Fitzgerald, born on September 24, 1896, an American novelist, was once a student of St. Paul Academy, the Newman School and attended Princeton University for a short while.
In 1917 he joined the army and was sent to Alabama, where he met his future wife Zelda Sayre. Then he had to make some money to impress her.
His life with her was full of great happiness, as he wrote in his diary: “My own happiness in the past often approached such joy that I could share it even with the person dearest to me but had to walk it away in quiet streets and take down parts of it in my diary.”
This side of Paradise, his first novel, was published in 1920. Encouraged by its success, Fitzgerald began to spend more time on his writing. Then he continued with the novel the Beautiful and Damned (1922), a collection of short stories Tales of the Jazz Age (1922), and a play The Vegetable (1923). But his greatest successful novel, The Great Gatsby, published in 1925, which quickly brought him praise from the literary(文学) world. Yet it failed to give him the needed financial security. Then, in 1926, he published another collection of short stories All the Sad Young Men.
However, Fitzgerald’s problems with his wife Zelda affected his writing. During the 1920s he tried to reorder his life, but failed. By 1930, his wife had her first mental breakdown and went to a Swiss hospital. During this period he completed novels Tender Is the Night in 1934.

Reading is getting more popular among young Chinese. A new survey says that 85% of young people in China read at least 1 book last year. The number of young people who are reading has been rising in recent years, especially for teenagers, who read an average(平均) of 11.5 books.
The data(数据) shows that teenagers spend much more time reading from school textbooks to some other reading materials, such as novels, e— books, magazines and so on. But younger children (ages 2—8) are mainly reading for fun. Compared with the past, the time teenagers spend on pleasure reading has dropped.
When it comes to technology and reading, the server suggests little. It does point out that many parents control the time of electronic reading, mainly because of worrying about increased screen time. However, most Chinese parents are helping their children to develop a reading habit. They are served as examples for their children. More than 70% of Chinese parents spend at least 20 minutes a day reading to their children aged 0 to 8 years old, and visit bookstores with them an average of three times a year. Data shows that kids and teens who do a lot of reading, compared to those who don’t like reading, have more books in the home, and more books brought for them. Their parents read more often, and would like to spare time to read with them.
When was the last time you read a book If you’re one of the countless people who don’t develop a habit of reading, you might be missing out. Everything you read fill your head with new bits of information, and you never know then it might be useful. The more knowledge you have, the better equipped you are to deal with any challenge you’ll face. Remember that although you might lose something else, knowledge can never be taken away from you.
Now open a book, and feed your soul.
36．Why do many parents control the time of their children’s electronic reading
A．E— books are expensive. B．It may harm children’s health.
C．It’s very hard to order. D．It could be a waste of time.

B．Buy more books for them in bookstores or borrow some from libraries.
C．Ask them to read more books every day through setting up reading groups.

38．What’s the survey mainly about
A．Teenagers’ after— class activities. B．Parents— child relationships.

39．Which one of the following is most probably to be discussed next
A．Introduce some books for young people to read. B．Encourage parents to read more after work.

【答案】BDCAC
【解析】这是一篇议论文，文章主要讲述了调查发现阅读在中国年轻人中越来越受欢迎。父母阅读对孩子们的影响，呼吁读者打开一本书开始阅读，喂饱自己的灵魂。
36．推理判断题。根据第三段“It does point out that many parents control the time of electronic reading, mainly because of worrying about increased screen time”很多父母控制电子阅读的时间主要是因为担心增长的屏幕使用时间，可知担心它可能伤害孩子们的健康。故选B。
37．推理判断题。根据第三段“They are served as examples for their children. More than 70% of Chinese parents spend at least 20 minutes a day reading to their children aged 0 to 8 years old, and visit bookstores with them an average of three times a year”及“Their parents read more often, and would like to spare time to read with them”作为他们的孩子的榜样，超过70%的中国父母每天至少花20分钟给孩子们读书，每天和孩子们花平均三个小时去书店。可知为了鼓励他们的孩子阅读得更多，他们做孩子的榜样，为他们自己读书,为他们的孩子读书。故选D。
38．细节理解题。根据第一段“Reading is getting more popular among young Chinese. A new survey says that 85% of young people in China read at least 1 book last year. The number of young people who are reading has been rising in recent years, especially for teenagers, who read an average of 11.5 books”可知，这个调查是关于年轻人们的阅读习惯。故选C。
39．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Now open a book, and feed your soul”现在打开一本书，喂饱你的灵魂吧。此处作者建议读者们开始读书可知，下一步可能介绍一些供年轻人阅读的书。故选A。
40．词义猜测题。根据“When was the last time you read a book”你最后一次阅读是什么时候，及“people who don’t develop a habit of reading, you might be missing out” 可知,如果你是无数没有养成阅读习惯的人中的一员，你可能会迷失。可推知此处countless的含义是“无数的”。故选C。

A conversation in a foreign language doesn’t always go easily. Sometimes your partner talks too fast and you find it difficult to follow. Don’t worry.

第二节、阅读回答问题（10分）
I liked reading when I was a boy. I would read every word on everything I saw. Most of the time when other kids were playing outside, I enjoyed reading books alone at home. Even now, that reading habit has been with me. I always have at least one book being read books. And I’m always talking about real books, books made of paper and you can hold in your hand to read at the table or on the underground.
However, the number of people reading books is dropping. A recent survey tells us that on average (平均), each American only reads three books a year and in China, about half of the people say they didn’t read a book last year! So what’s stopping people from reading
The answer is the changes that the phone brings to our life. Why read a book when we can watch a movie or a TV play on our smart phones or iPads For young people, books may not be as exciting as online games.
But we can still fall in love with books easily. We all have this thing called imagination. It is more powerful than any computer. In fact, any online game is written
in words as a story by its writer at first. It’s all about his or her imagination.
So we need to read—if we do not read, it will be hard for us to improve our ability (能力) to have an imagination. Reading is a process(过程) in which we need to compare and connect other things we read and saw in the past. If we do not read, this will influence our study as well as our social life in the future.
So why not follow me to enjoy reading now
1. What are real books, in the writer’s opinion
2. How many books does each American read a year according to a survey
3. What’s more exciting than books for young people
4. Why do we still fall in love with books easily
5. What will be influenced if we do not read
【答案】
1.In his/her opinion, real books are books made of paper and we can hold in our hand to read at the table or on the underground.
2.Each American reads three/3 books a year.
3.Online games are more exciting than books for young people.
4.We still fall in love with books easily because of the imagination of writers of books.
5.If we don’t read, our study as well as our social life in the future will be influenced.
