Ⅴ.阅读理解
People read books less often these days. With the invention of radio, television and most recently, the Internet and computer games, it seems that reading books is no longer a popular activity. However, I believe that books are an important part of our lives.
Books offer an outstanding wealth of learning and at a lower price than taking a course. Books can make people cleverer, because heavy readers have greater knowledge of how things work and who or what people were.
Everything in today's society requires reading. Imagine trying to do something as simple as reading the directions on a medicine bottle without good reading skills. Someone could not understand them and become very sick or even die.
Even something as simple as walking or driving through the city could become very dangerous without enough reading. Sometimes, you must be able to understand what is written and explain the meaning of them.
Some people say that reading is a waste of time and we can do better things with our time. Even if we don't read books, we still read every day, and reading books can strengthen(加强) our abilities. Reading is one of the greatest things we can do in our spare time.
With a book, you can travel anywhere you want, do anything you want, and talk to anyone you want. Reading is very important in our lives, no matter what your age is. So I think people should read books.
26.What activity is less popular these days than before
A.Reading books.
B.Listening to the radio.
C.Watching TV.
D.Surfing the Internet.
27.We can learn from the second paragraph that 　　　　.
A.reading can improve your memory
B.reading can make you interesting and attractive
C.reading can make you smarter
D.reading can reduce stress
28.The underlined word “them” in the third paragraph refers to 　　　　.
A.the books they are reading
B.the directions on a medicine bottle
C.the good reading skills
D.the words a doctor tells a sick person
29.Some people don't agree to read books because they think 　　　　.
A.walking in the city also needs reading skills
B.driving along the road is dangerous
C.reading books is very helpful for our abilities
D.reading books just wastes their time
30.The best title of the passage can be 　　　　.
A.People Should Enjoy Themselves

D.What We Love Doing in Spare Time
答案 26-30
【熟词生义】 heavy
【熟词】 adj. 重的
The box is too heavy for him to carry.
这个箱子太重了,他搬不动。
【生义】 ①adj. 大(量)的;②adj.(做某事)超出一般的,过度的
