On the bus, on the subway, every head is lowered to a cell phone, iPad, or other digital device. But does this mean more and more people are getting into reading the digital way?

According to the National Reading Survey, before the 17th World Reading Day on April 23, only 1.2 percent of Chinese people said they read a lot. But 38.6 percent said they read on digital devices like cell phone and e-books. This is a 17.7 percent increase from 2010.

Many experts are talking about a trend toward fragmented reading ––reading many short messages or items on a digital device like a cell phone instead of one long text in a book.

 Zhao jianmin, a professor at Shanghai University, said fragmented reading was part of modern life. “The fast pace of life leaves many people no time to sit and read a whole book,” he said. “So making use of fragmented time to read is sure to be a trend”

Fragmented reading has its advantages. People can enjoy large amounts of information, knowledge and entertainment in a short time. Digital reading is faster than traditional deep reading.

However, some experts fear the trend of digital reading will lead people to read in a simple way. Xu Guosheng, at a Chinese Academy of Press and Publication, says fragmented reading makes it harder for people to think more about what they read. He also warned fragmented reading could make people lazy about remembering facts because they know they can always just search for answers online.

“Fragmented reading is sometimes good, but don’t let it take all your time,” suggested Tian Zhilng, an editor. He said it was important to read quality books in a deeper way, and we should read for knowledge, for practical use and for pleasure. He suggested people choose easy books first, then move onto more difficult ones.

1. How many disadvantages of fragmented reading have been mentioned?

A. 1              B.2                   C. 3                       D.4

2. How does Tian Zhiling think about people should read?

A. They should spend more time reading on digital device.  

B. They should spend days reading whole novels at a time.

C. They should read both on digital devices and quality books.    

D. They should read a fun way instead of a traditional way.

3. The underlined word “pace” means _________ in Chinese.

A. 行走                       B.步骤                              C. 节奏                       D. 步测

4.What can we learn from the article?

A. Chinese people read in a simple way these days.

B. Students should read more to get high marks.

C. Reading on a digital device is harmful to health.               

D. People’s reading habits are changing.

5.What is the main idea of the article?

A. The results of a national reading survey.               

B. An explanation of a new trend in reading.    

C. The advice on how to read the digital way.            

D. A call to return to traditional deep reading.

5.B

【解析】

试题分析:短文大意:本文主要介绍了一种新的阅读趋势。上海大学的教授赵建民说支离破碎的阅读是现代生活的一部分。“快节奏的生活使很多人没有时间坐下来读一本书,”他说。“所以利用零碎时间阅读肯定是一个趋势”。支离破碎的阅读也有它的好处。人们可以享受大量的信息,在很短的时间,知识和娱乐。数字阅读比传统的深阅读速度。然而,一些专家担心,数字阅读的趋势将导致人们简单的阅读方式。中国科学院出版社的徐国盛说支离破碎的阅读使人们很难想更多地了解他们所读的。

1.细节理解题。根据文中fragmented reading makes it harder for people to think more about what they read和fragmented reading could make people lazy about remembering facts可知文章指出了两种分散阅读的缺点,所以选B。 

2.细节理解题。根据Fragmented reading is sometimes good(分散有时候读书是好的)和He said it was important to read quality books in a deeper way(他说重要是以一种更深的方式读好书)可知选C。

3.词义猜测题。根据The fast pace of life leaves many people no time to sit and read a whole book快节奏的生活使很多人没有时间坐下来读一本书,可知pace的词义是节奏,所以选C。

4.推理判断题。根据短文可知,人们的阅读习惯在改变,所以选D。

5.主旨大意题。短文主要是在说阅读的新趋势,所以选B。

A school bus is one that is used to take children to and from school.
In the USA, about 450,000 school buses take more than 25 million children to and from school. The yellow school bus is a US icon (象征). Yellow became the color of school buses in the USA in 1939. Dr. Frank got the good idea. He said it was easy for people to see yellow buses and the black letters on them in early morning or late afternoon. That would make children safer.
There are not many school buses in Britain, and they are not yellow. They have trackers (追踪器) on them, so kids are being tracked while they travel to and from school by bus. The trackers let parents know where the school bus is and whether their kids are on the bus.
Kindergarten (幼儿园) is a difficult time for some kids. It's the first time for them to go away from their parents. To make kids love their school, Japanese kindergartens and schools have colorful buses. The buses can easily make children want to take them--and then, go to school. Even some parents want to take them, too!
School buses are becoming more and more popular in China now.  It saves a lot of time for students to take a school bus. It's said that there will be 3,000 yellow school buses on the road by the end of this year in Chongqing.
【小题1】According to Dr. Frank,           school buses are safer for the students.

 In England recently three foreign gentlemen came to a bus stop and waited . About five minutes later, the bus they wanted came along. They were just going to get on when suddenly there was a loud noise behind them. People rushed onto the bus and tried to push them out of the way . Someone shouted at them. The bus conductor came rushing down the stairs to see what all the trouble was about. The three foreigners seem all at sea and looked embarrassed (窘迫的 . No one had told them about the British custom (习惯)of lining up for a bus that the first person who arrives at the bus stop is the first person to get on the bus .

  Learning the language of a country isn't enough. If you want to have a pleasant visit, find out as much as possible about the manners and customs of your host country. You will probably be surprised just how different they can be from your own. A visitor to India would do well to remember that people there consider it impolite to use the left hand for passing food at table. The left hand is supposed to be used for washing yourself. Also in India, you might see a man shaking his head at another to show that he doesn't agree. But in many parts of India a shake of the head means agreement. Nodding (点头) your head when you are given a drink in Bulgaria will most probably leave you thirsty .

  In that country, you shake your head to mean 'yes'— a nod means 'no' . At a meal in countries on the Arabic Peninsula, you will find that your glass is repeated refilled as soon as you drink up . If you think that you have had enough , you should take the cup or glasses in your hand and give it a little shake from side to side or place your hand over the top.

  In Europe it quite usual to cross your legs when you are sitting talking to someone even at an important meeting. Doing this in Thailand, however, could bring about trouble . Also, you should try to avoid (避免)touching the head of an adult (成人) ——it's just not done in Thailand .

1.The British people tried to push the three gentlemen out of the way, because the gentlemen______

A.were foreigners                        B.didn't have tickets

C.made a loud noise                       D.didn't line up for the bus

2. According to the article, if you want to have a pleasant journey in a foreign country, you should ____ 

A.learn the language of the country

B.understand the manners and customs of the country

C.have enough time and money

D.make friends with the people there

3.In India it is considered impolite ___________.

A.to use the right hand for passing food at table.

B.to pass food with the left hand.

C.to eat food with your hands.

D.to help yourself at table.

4.To cross one's legs at an important meeting in Europe is _______.

A.a common (平常的) habit                 B.an important manner

C.a serious (严重的) trouble                 D.a bad manner
