Ⅳ.阅读理解

A

You know you have to“read between lines.”I want to persuade you to do something equally

important in the course of your reading. I want to persuade you to“write between the lines.”Unless

you do, you are not likely to do the most efficient(效率高的)kind of reading.

I insist that making_up_a_book is not an act of damage but of love.

There are two ways in which one can own a book. The first is the property right you have by

buying it, just as you pay for clothes and furniture. But this act of buying is only the first step to

possession. Full ownership comes only when you have made it a part of yourself, and the best way

to make yourself a part of it is by writing in it. A comparison may make the point clear. You buy a

piece of beef from the butcher's icebox. But you do not own the beef in the most important sense

until you eat it and get it into your blood. I am arguing that books, too, must be absorbed in your

blood to do you any good.

There are three kinds of book owners. The first has all the standard sets and bestsellers

unread, untouched. The second has a great many books—a few of them read through, most of

them dipped into, but all of them as clean and shiny as the day they were bought. The third has a

few books every one of them worn, shaken and loose-ended by continual use, marked from front

to back.

Why is making up a book necessary to read it?

First, it keeps you wide awake. In the second place, reading, if it is active, is thinking, and

thinking tends to express itself in words, spoken or written. The marked book is usually the

thought through the book. Finally, writing helps you remember the thoughts you had, or the

thoughts the author expressed.

1．The third kind of book owners must be________.

A．experienced readers

C．efficient readers

B．untidy readers

D．careless readers

答案：C 推理判断题。从文章第四段可以看出只有第三类读者充分阅读吸收了书中的内容。

2．The underlined phrase“making up a book”probably means________.

A．writing down difficult sentences

B．finding the extra meanings of unknown words

C．writing in the space the ideas you get through reading

D．making notes to show you understand what you have read

答案：C 语意理解题。短语making up a book的意思可由文章第三段“...and the best way

to make yourself a part of it is by writing in it.”和文章最后一句“...writing helps you remember

the thoughts you had, or the thoughts the author expressed.”综合分析得出。

3．How does the author persuade you to own a book?

A．To make it a part of yourself by writing in it.

B．To write down words and sentences that bring up rich ideas.

C．To mark puzzling questions that challenge you.

D．To note whatever disagreements you may have with the book.

答案：A 细节理解题。文章第三段第四句“...and the best way to make yourself a part of it

is by writing in it.”是关键信息。

4．One of the advantages of making up a book is to________.

A．absorb all the brilliant ideas it contains

B．keep either your thoughts or the writer's in mind

C．make yourself awake so that you can get more pleasure

D．enable yourself to pick up the book for continual reading

答案：B 细节理解题。由文章最后一段，特别是最后一句可得出结论。

B

The engineer Camillo Olivetti was 40 years old when he started the company in 1908. At his

factory in Ivrea, he designed and produced the first Italian typewriter. Today the company's head

office is still in Ivrea, near Turin, but the company is much larger than it was in those days and the

are offices all around the world.

By 1930 there was a staff of 700 and the company turned out 13,000 machines a year. Some

went to customers in Italy, but Olivetti exported more typewriters to other countries.

Camillo's son, Adriano, started working for the company in 1924 and later he became the

boss. He introduced a standard speed for the production line and he employed technology and

design specialists. The company developed new and better typewriters and then calculators(计算器). In 1959 it produced the ELEA computer system. This was the first mainframe(主机)computer

designed and made in Italy.

After Adriano died in 1960, the company had a period of financial problems. Other

companies, especially the Japanese, made faster progress in electronic technology than the Italian

company.

In 1978, Carlo de Benedetti became the new boss. Olivetti increased its marketing and

service networks and made agreements with other companies to design and produce more

advanced office equipment. Soon it became one of the world's leading companies in information

technology and communications. There are now five independent companies in the Olivetti

group—one for personal computers, one for other office equipment, one for systems and services,

and two for telecommunications.

5．From the text we learn that________.

A．by 1930 Olivetti produced 13,000 typewriters a year

B．Olivetti earned more in the 1960s than in the 1950s

C．some of Olivetti's 700 staff regularly visited customers in Italy

D．Olivetti set up offices in other countries from the very beginning

答案：A 细节理解题。由第二段第一句话可知答案为A。

6．What was probably the direct result of Olivetti's falling behind in electronic technology?

A．Adriano's death.

B．A period of financial problems.

C．Its faster progress.

D．Its agreements with other companies.

答案：B 细节理解题。由第四段第一句话可知答案为B。

7．What do we know about Olivetti?

A．It produced the best typewriter in the world.

B．It designed the world's first mainframe computer.

C．It exported more typewriters than other companies.

D．It has five independent companies with its head office in Ivrea.

答案：D 细节理解题。由第一段中“Today the company's head office is still ”以及文章最后一段“There are now five independent companies in the ”可知答案。

8．The best title for the text would be________.

A．The Origin of Olivetti

B．The Success of Olivetti

C．The History of Olivetti

D．The Production of Olivetti

答案：C 语篇解读题。通读全文可知，文章介绍了这家公司的起源，发展以及近况，故选C项最具概括性。

Ⅴ.短文填空

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余

deal with these changes in lifestyle and this had led to new kinds of sicknesses. __2__ So they are

ancestors. We eat more sugar. We eat twice as much fat but only one third as much protein and

参考范文：

I'm going to graduate from Senior High School, but I still remember when I was a volunteer a

year ago. That day, Li Yue, Zhang Hua and I went to Sunshine Nursing Home and did some

voluntary work. Upon our arrival, we were warmly welcomed, and respectfully, we presented the

elderly people with flowers and fruits. Then, we started working at once, cleaning the windows

and sweeping the floor. Everything done, we sat in the yard chatting with the elderly people.

When it was time for us to leave, they thanked us for our kindness. They said it was such a

beautiful day that they would remember it forever.

We were very happy. What we did has brought joy to others and enriched their lives. I will

remember it forever, too.
