(2023·潍坊测评) In recent years, there has been a rise in the volume of audiobook sales, which is easily aided by the dominance of the smartphone.Are there other contributors to the rise beyond technology
One thing is obvious：Reading even a short book involves a significant investment of time and prevents any other activity.You can't drive or garden while reading.Andy Miller, the author of The Year of Reading Dangerously, said, “I was hunting for a book to read.Kit Waal, my friend, said，‘You should get the audiobook Old Filth; it's fantastic.’ She was right.I could walk the dog and still be reading a brilliant novel, or have one read to me brilliantly.I love that book and I love that way of reading it.So _I'm_a_recent_convert.”
Does he worry audio provides too different an experience to reading itself “Clearly on audio you are at the mercy of the reader's skills，” he says.“But then, ego (自我) aside, the same is true of reading a book on the page.We're all at the mercy of our own skills and tastes, aren't we But on audio you are influenced by someone else's interpretation.And you might simply dislike the voice of the reader.But at its best audio offers a complementary (互补的) experience to the actual book.”
Will audiobooks distract us from the page before us Better to focus on what we might gain.As someone who frequently interviews authors on stage, I'm aware of the unique insight into a text produced by hearing someone read their own work; I've frequently reinterpreted a passage after such an experience.But that has had no impact on whether or not I'll read a book by a writer I will never hear reading.
I once met the writer Don Delillo.In response to a question about the process of writing, he remarked that he sometimes became attracted by the shape of particular letters, by the way individual words appeared before him.He sounded hippy-dippy; then it made perfect sense.Reading does start with shapes, which slowly resolve to make a certain meaning, filtered through our own subjectivity and our senses.That will never change.
语篇解读：本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲述了近年来有声读物销量增加。有声读物有其自身的优点，但它无法代替纸质读物。
4．What does Andy Miller mean by “I'm a recent convert” in Paragraph 2
A．He likes the reader's voice.
B．He enjoys his daily routines.
C．He falls in love with audiobooks.
D．He is addicted to reading novels.
解析：选C 句意理解题。根据第二段中Andy Miller所说的话可知，在朋友Kit Waal的建议下，他选择了有声读物，这让他在遛狗的时候还可以阅读，他喜欢那本有声读物和读它的那种方式。故C项“他爱上了有声读物”与画线部分意义接近。
5．What does Andy Miller think of the audiobook
A．It has a good voice.
B．It limits our interpretation.
C．It controls our skills and tastes.
D．It misleads our interpretation.
解析：选B 推理判断题。根据第三段中Andy Miller所说的“on audio you are at the mercy of the reader's skills” “But on audio you are influenced by someone else's interpretation”可知，在听有声读物时，读者被朗读者的技巧支配，会受到朗读者理解的影响，据此可以推断，有声读物可能会限制读者的理解。
6．What is Don Delillo's attitude to reading the actual book
A．Unclear. B．Objective.
C．Opposed. D．Favourable.
解析：选D 观点态度题。根据最后一段第二句可以看出，Don Delillo会被独特的字母的形状和单词出现在他面前的方式吸引，由此可见，他支持纸质书的阅读。
7．What is the best title of the text
A．Easy listening: the rise of the audiobook
B．The audiobook — a growing trend in reading
C．Slow reading — the decline of the actual book
D．A new experience: the appearance of audiobooks
解析：选A 标题归纳题。本文第一段讲述了手机的支配地位有助于有声读物销量的增加；后文介绍了其优点和不足，最后指出纸质读物永不过时。A项既讲到了有声读物的优点“easy listening”，又以问句的形式问道“有声读物兴起了吗？”，能够很好地概括文章大意，因此适合作本文的标题。

参考范文：
My favorite novel
Of all the novels I have read, I love A Dream of Red Mansions most.
It is my favorite not because it was written by Cao Xueqin, a famous novelist in Qing Dynasty.Rather, I deeply value the novel and have read it over 10 times, firstly, for the moving love story between Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu.Besides, if given enough patience and devotion, the novel will also reveal the rise and decline of a famous royal family to its readers.What I also enjoy about the novel is its language and writing style of Cao Xueqin, which had a profound effect on the writers of his times and later generations.
All in all, A Dream of Red Mansions has won my heart and I am convinced that it deserves yours too.

一、主题下的语篇训练
Ⅰ.阅读理解
(2023·常州模拟) Young people who are hooked on reading science fiction may be on to something.Contrary to a common misunderstanding that reading science fiction is an unworthy practice, reading it may help young people cope, especially with the stress and anxiety of living while developing critical thinking skills and emotional intelligence for young readers.
Historically, parents have considered literature “good” for young people if it provides moral guidance that reflects their own values.The question is how literature of science fiction performs its educational function. This is central to the conflict between parents and educators about what kids should read.Those who read it have been stigmatized (诬蔑) as geeks who can't cope with reality.
A 2015 survey found that these science fiction readers were also major consumers of a wide range of other types of books.In fact, the study noted a close connection between reading varied literary forms and an ability to understand science.Rather than limiting readers' capacity to deal with reality, reading science fiction may expand their ability to engage reality.
Science fiction does not need to provide real stories about serious social and political issues.Instead, it offers a distance between them.This distance gives readers an approach to coping with complexity and use their imagination to manage real-life challenges.It is why they are powerful and where their value lies.What better way to deal with the uncertainty in life than with science fiction, which explores uncertainty and depicts young people as brave characters, survivors and shapers of their own fates
Let them read science fiction.In it, young people can see themselves — coping, surviving and learning lessons — that may enable them to create their own strategies for life.But the critical thinking and wise habits of mind prompted by this type of literature may actually produce creativity that everyday life and reality typically do not.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了有研究发现，阅读科幻小说可能会扩大读者接触现实的能力，而不是限制他们处理现实的能力。
1．Why is science fiction rejected by many parents as a proper type of reading
A．It lacks the educational functions they need.
B．It agrees with the common belief in society.
C．It seldom develops critical and creative thinking.
D．It results in too many expectations from parents.
解析：选A 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The question is how literature of science fiction performs its educational function.”可知，很多父母拒绝把科幻小说作为一种合适的阅读类型，是因为科幻小说缺乏他们所需要的教育功能。
2．What is the author trying to convey with the findings of 2015 survey
A．Literature has a negative effect on understanding science.
B．More other types of reading are consumed than science fiction.
C．Reading science fiction boosts the young's ability to cope with reality.
D．Science fiction reading restricts readers' capacity to deal with stress.
解析：选C 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“reading science fiction may expand their ability to engage reality”可知，作者试图通过2015年的调查结果表明：阅读科幻小说能提高年轻人应对现实的能力。
3．What does the underlined word “depicts” in Paragraph 4 mean
A．Criticizes. B．Employs.
C．Describes. D．Suspects.
解析：选C 词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句可知，科幻小说探索不确定性，将年轻人描述成勇敢的人物、幸存者和自己命运的塑造者。故画线词意为“描述”，与C项词义相近。
4．What's the best title of the passage
A．Why science fiction is so appealing to the young readers
B．How science fiction turns into the literature
mainstream
C．What stories science fiction is bringing to the young people
D．How reading science fiction helps kids tackle reality
解析：选D 标题归纳题。通读全文，尤其是根据第三段可知，有研究发现阅读科幻小说可能会扩大读者接触现实的能力，而不是限制他们处理现实的能力。文章还介绍了科幻小说是如何帮助年轻人更好地应对现实的。故D选项“阅读科幻小说如何帮助孩子应对现实”适合作文章标题。
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
(2023·杭州质量检测) Reading is essential but how can one choose the right books to read and where can one find them A few famous people may give you some helpful tips.
Read books from past eras.
__5__ Otherwise, you'd be “completely dependent on the prejudices and fashions of your times”， just as Albert Einstein put it.“Somebody who reads only newspapers and at best books of contemporary authors looks to me like an extremely near-sighted person who scorns (鄙视) eyeglasses，”he said.
__6__
Reading too wide a variety in too short a time would keep the teachings from leaving a lasting impression on you.Seneca the Younger, a first-century Roman philosopher, suggested that “you must linger (持续看) among a limited number of master thinkers, and digest their works, if you would derive ideas which shall win firm hold in your mind”．
Shop at second-hand bookstores.
Virginia Woolf believed the works in second-hand bookstores have an attraction which the usual volumes of the library lack.Browsing through these books gives you the chance to run into something that wouldn't have risen to the attention of librarians and booksellers.__7__
Check out authors' reading lists.
In his 1940 guide How to Read a Book, American philosopher Mortimer J．Adler talked about how to choose books.He attached importance to those that other authors consider worth reading.__8__ Mortimer wrote that “one way to understand them is to read the books they read”．
Make the final decision by yourself.
__9__ It's you who should choose what, how and when to read.Theodore Roosevelt recommended choosing books on subjects that interest you and letting your mood guide you to your next great read.
A．Interest is the best teacher.
B．Great authors are great readers.
C．Leave some room for older works.
D．Learn more about those great authors.
E．Don't jump too quickly from book to book.
F．There's no “best books” list that everyone should follow.
G．Usually they are much more selective in organizing their collections than second-hand book owners.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了多位名人给出的一些与阅读有关的有用建议。
5．解析：选C 根据该段小标题“Read books from past eras”并结合该段内容可知，你需要阅读一些过去的书，而不是只读报纸和当代作家的书籍。所以C项“给老作品留些空间”符合语境。
6．解析：选E 根据文章结构可知，此处为小标题。结合该段内容可知，本段主要讲述了不要在太短时间内阅读太多种类的书籍，所以E项“不要太快地从一本书跳到另一本书”符合语境。
7．解析：选G 根据该段的关键词“second-hand bookstores”可知，该段主要讲述了二手书店里的作品具有图书馆通常的藏书没有的吸引力，能给人带来些许惊喜。所以G项“通常他们在整理藏书时比二手书商更有选择性”符合语境。选项中的“they”指代上文提到的 “librarians and booksellers”。
8．解析：选B 根据上文可知，需要重视那些其他作家推荐的值得阅读的书；再结合下文内容可知，理解作家的一个方式就是读他们读过的书。故B项“伟大的作家是伟大的读者”符合语境。
9．解析：选F 本段主要讲述了最后的决定需要自己做。再结合空后的内容可知，F项“没有每个人都可以遵循的‘最好的书’的清单”符合语境，说明每个人的选择都是个性化的。
