1．句意：当他还是个孩子的时候，他被迫一次又一次地离开他的国家。
When当……时；Before在……之前；After在……之后；While当……时。根据“he was a child, he was forced to leave his country again and again”可知，在孩子时不断离开国家，force是短暂性动词，用when引导的时间状语从句，故选A。

九、阅读理解
A
With the development of technology and the Internet, there is a new trend in reading—audio-books. More people are choosing to listen to audio-books these days, according to this year's national reading report.
The report was released by the Chinese Academy of Press and Publication(CAPP). It shows that audiobooks have become quite popular among most readers. One in three adults listen to audiobooks. They mainly use popular audio sharing platforms(平台) like Ximalaya.
Kids have also been a main driver in the development of audiobooks. Ximalaya noted that the value of audiobook purchases made by those aged 13 to 18 in 2018 increased by 330 percent over that of 2017, Beijing Evening News reported.
In addition, around 26.8 percent of children under 8 years old listen to audiobooks. Most of them listen at least once a week. Their favorite categories(分类) are “stories for kids” and “poetry reading”.
One of the reasons audiobooks have taken off is that people want to get more use out of their free time, China News Service reported. Whether they're at the gym, on a bus, or in bed, people can enjoy reading without a heavy paper book or e-reader. Faster Internet speeds mean one can download a whole book in just seconds, according to Wei Yushan, director of CAPP.
Audio app content designers have invited broadcasters(播音员) and production(制作) groups to join in content production. Both the quality and number of audiobooks being offered have greatly improved. More people can find the audiobooks they like the most, the report says.
1.How many adults listen to audiobooks these days
A. Over 30 percent. B. Around 26.8 percent. C.330 million. D.13 to 18 million.
2.What's the Chinese meaning of the underlined word “driver”
A.司机 B.牧人 C.驱赶者 D.驱动力
3.Which age group likes poetry reading in audiobooks the most
A. Elderly people. B. Adults. C. Young kids. D. Teenagers.
4.According to Wei Yushan, _________help(s) the growth of audiobooks.
A. the need to make use of one's free time
B. faster Internet speeds
C. the large number of audiobook production groups
D. the development of audio sharing platforms
5.What can we infer from the passage
A. Audiobooks have replaced printed books among young people.
B. More kids start to listen to audiobooks this year than last year.
C. Most people listen to audiobooks at least once a week.
D. Audio apps are working hard to produce more good audiobooks.
【答案】ADCBD
【解析】 随着科技和互联网的发展,越来越多的人选择听有声读物。成年人喜欢用流行的音频共享平台;13至18岁的年轻人购买力大增;8岁以下的儿童成为听故事和诗歌的主流。有声读物能让人们充分利用空闲时间。随着有声读物的质量和数量的提高,更多的人可以找到他们最喜欢的有声读物。
1.A 细节理解题。根据第二段中“One in three adults listen to audiobooks.”可知,三分之一的成年人听有声读物。故A项“Over 30 percent.”(超过30%)符合此数据。
2.D 词义猜测题。根据第三段中“the value of audiobook purchases made by those aged 13 to 18 in 2018 increased by 330 percent over that of 2017”可知,2018年13至18岁的年轻人有声读物的购买力比2017年增长了330%。据此推测,孩子是有声读物发展的主要“驱动力”。
3.C 细节理解题。根据第四段中“…around 26.8 percent of children under 8 years old listen to audiobooks…Their favorite categories are ‘stories for kids’ and ‘poetry reading’.”可知,大约26.8%的8岁以下的孩子最爱听故事类和诗歌类有声读物。
4.B 推理判断题。根据第五段中“Faster Internet speeds mean one can download a whole book in just seconds…”可知,更快的网速意味着一个人可以在几秒钟内下载完整本书。故推断,更快的网速有助于有声读物的发展。
5.D 推理判断题。最后一段叙述了audio apps的发展使有声读物质量提高、数量增加,故D项正确。
B

With the development of technology and the Internet, there is a new trend in reading—audio-books. More people are choosing to listen to audio-books these days, according to this year's national reading report.
The report was released by the Chinese Academy of Press and Publication(CAPP). It shows that audiobooks have become quite popular among most readers. One in three adults listen to audiobooks. They mainly use popular audio sharing platforms(平台) like Ximalaya.
Kids have also been a main driver in the development of audiobooks. Ximalaya noted that the value of audiobook purchases made by those aged 13 to 18 in 2018 increased by 330 percent over that of 2017, Beijing Evening News reported.
In addition, around 26.8 percent of children under 8 years old listen to audiobooks. Most of them listen at least once a week. Their favorite categories(分类) are “stories for kids” and “poetry reading”.
