In boo

22、kstores, at conferences or public readings by writers, and even in university departments dedicated to the humanities, the women clearly outnumber the men. The explanation traditionally given is that middle-class women read more because they work fewer hours than men, and so many of them feel that t

23、hey can justify more easily than men the time that they devote to fantasy and illusion. I am somewhat allergic to explanations that divide men and women into frozen categories and attribute to each sex its characteristic virtues and shortcomings; but there is no doubt that there are fewer and fewer

24、readers of literature, and that among the saving remnant (剩余) of readers women predominate. This is the case almost everywhere. In Spain, for example, a recent survey organized by the General Society of Spanish Writers revealed that half of that countrys population has never read a book. The survey

25、also revealed that in the minority that does read, the number of women who admitted to reading surpasses the number of men by 6.2 percent, a difference that appears to be increasing. I am happy for these women, but I feel sorry for these men, and for the millions of human beings who could read but h

26、ave decided not to read.

29、ead to their hobby of reading.答案:B解析 根據(jù)第一段第一句“It seems clear that literature has become more and mote a female activity. ”可知，B項(xiàng)正確。A項(xiàng)與原文意思相反，根據(jù)第一段第三句“.middle-class women read more because.”可知，應(yīng)把“more”換成“fewer”；C項(xiàng)屬無中生有；D項(xiàng)有一定迷惑性，但characteristics一詞用得過于寬泛，文中也沒有直接的信息可以推斷出是女人們的性格導(dǎo)致了她們讀書的喜好。12. The author c

30、onsiders traditional explanation _.A.logicalB.not convincingC.not interestingD.totally true答案:B解析 由題干關(guān)鍵詞“explanation”定位至第一段第四句“I am somewhat allergic to explanations that divide men and women into frozen categories and attribute to each sex its characteristic virtues and shortcomings.”由此可見，作者不相信傳統(tǒng)的解

31、釋，即認(rèn)為傳統(tǒng)解釋沒有說服力，故選B。13. The author cites the example of Spain in order to _.A.explain the reasons why literature is more a female activityB.show women always devote the time to fantasy and illusionC.illustrate the phenomenon that literature is more a female activity existing in nearly every countryD.

32、show how illiterate the Spanish people are答案:C解析 由題干關(guān)鍵詞“Spain”定位至第二段前兩句“This is the case almost everywhere. ”這里的the case即指第一段第一句的內(nèi)容，因而選C項(xiàng)。A項(xiàng)具有一定的迷惑性，但是表述沒有C項(xiàng)全面；B項(xiàng)雖然在文中都有提及，但是和題干關(guān)系不大；D項(xiàng)更非作者本意，故排除。14. Whats the authors attitude towards the people who dont read?A.Pitiful.B.Angry.C.Agreeable.D.Allergic.

33、答案:A解析 由題干關(guān)鍵詞“who dont read”定位至第二段最后一句“.I feel sorry for these men, and for the millions of human beings who could read but have decided not to read. ”答案在第一段。其中“sorry”和“pitiful”意思相近，故選A。D指的是作者反感的是將男女生硬地區(qū)分對待的解釋，不合題意；B、C和這句話中所透露的作者的態(tài)度相差太遠(yuǎn)，故排除。15. It can be inferred from Para. 3 that _.A.a society whic

34、h lacks literature is an ideal societyB.if a society lacks literature, the freedom cannot be guaranteedC.literature is a luxury pastimeD.literature is not a necessity in a democratic society答案:B解析 本題就第三段進(jìn)行提問。由該段中“.is a society condemned.to jeopardize its freedom”可判斷，B是正確的。A不符合事實(shí)；由該段倒數(shù)第二行“as one of t

35、he most.mind”可知，讀書是一種基本需求，而不是奢侈的娛樂，故排除C；由該段倒數(shù)第一、二行“.an irreplaceable activity.democratic society”可知，文學(xué)對于民主社會來說是必需的，故排除D。 Some pessimistic experts feel that the automobile is bound to fall into disuse. They see a day in the not-too-distant future when all autos will be abandoned and allowed to rust.

36、Other authorities, however, think the auto is here to stay. They hold that the car will remain a leading means of urban travel in the foreseeable future. The motorcar will undoubtedly change significantly over the next 30 years. It should become smaller, safer, and more economical, and should not be

37、 powered by the gasoline engine. The car of the future should be far more pollution-free than present types. Regardless of its power source, the auto in the future will still be the main problem in urban traffic congestion. One proposed solution to this problem is the automated highway system. When

38、the auto enters the highway system, a retractable (可伸縮的) arm will drop from the auto and make contact with a rail, which is similar to those powering subway trains electrically. Once attached to the rail, the car will become electrically powered from the system, and control of the vehicle will pass

39、to a central computer. The computer will then monitor all of the cars movements. The driver will use a telephone to dial instructions about his destination into the system. The computer will calculate the best route, and reserve space for the car all the way to the correct exit from the highway. The

40、 driver will then be free to relax and wait for the buzzer that will warn him of his coming exit. It is estimated that an automated highway will be able to handle 10,000 vehicles per hour, compared with the 1,500 to 2,000 vehicles that can be carried by a present-day highway. 16.
