三、 阅读理解
21. Chinese people read less than eight books last year, including both print and e-books, but the average(平均) time spent on mobile reading has for the first time exceeded one hour per day, showed statistics(数据） published by Chinese Academy of Press and Publication on Monday.
This is the academy’s 13th report regarding Chinese people’s reading habits in 17 years. The survey looked at the reading habits of both adults and children from 0 – 80, placing them in four different age groups, across 29 provinces in China.
The number of print books the average person read last year was 4.58, which basically remained the same level as that in 2014. The figure is rather low compared with other countries, with France being 12, South Korea being 11, Japan being 9 and the US being about seven, according to a report by Xinhua last year.
However, in contrast to the tiny increase in books being read last year, people’s interest in mobile reading has seen a rise. The average time Chinese people spent reading on their cellphones is 62.21 minutes, which nearly doubles the previous year’s average time of 33.82 minutes.
And more people are reading via their WeChat app as well. The most popular social networking phone app in China has also been providing public account services, which allow people to read comparatively long articles using the app. In 2015, 51.9% Chinese adults had used WeChat to read, a 17.5% increase on 2014.
But does that mean e-reading is replacing traditional reading in China? 
Wei Yushan, president of the Academy of Press and Publication told People’s Daily that it doesn’t seem likely to him. “Having gone through a rapid development between 2011 and 2013, e-books are seeing a slowdown in their sales. Taking the US as an example, the sales growth of e-books has fallen behind that of print books in the past year.” In China, nearly 60% of people still prefer traditional reading to e-reading....
5. What does the underlined word “exceeded” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. rejected
B. designed
C. outnumbered
D. explained
6. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?
A. The time spent on e-reading is more than that on traditional reading.
B. Extra services have been provided to allow people to read short articles.
C. Compared with Chinese readers, the number of Americans is larger.
D. An increase in the interest of mobile reading has been seen.
7. How does the writer develop the text?
A. By giving explanations.
B. By analyzing reasons.
C. By listing figures(数据）.
D. By comparing books.
8. What does the last paragraph talk about?
A. All Chinese people like print books better.
B. Print books still gain popularity of readers.
C. The Sales of E-books have been improved.
D. Wei Yushan isn’t willing to give up e-reading.
参考答案：
5. C    6. D    7. C    8. B
本文主要告诉我们中国人对纸质图书的阅读量偏低，但对电子图书的阅读兴趣逐渐增加，不过即便如此，纸质图书仍然在中国广受欢迎。

6. 考查文章细节理解，根据第四段“However, in contrast to the tiny increase in books being read last year, people’s interest in mobile reading has seen a rise.”， 然而，与去年人们所阅读书目的小数量增长相比，人们对电子阅读的兴趣已经增加了，故选D.
7. 考查文章整体把握，文章首段就用数据向我们展示了中国人的阅读现状，接着第三段用数据向我们证明了中国人对纸质图书的阅读量相对于其他国家偏少，然后用时间数据和微信阅读的人数比例数据，告诉我们中国人对电子阅读的兴趣有所增长，最后，用人数比例数据向我们证明了传统阅读仍然在中国广受欢迎，所以全篇都是通过列举数字来论证作者的观点的，故选C.
8. 考查文章段落大意，根据最后一段最后一句“In China, nearly 60% of people still prefer traditional reading to e-reading.”，在中国，有接近60%的人仍然喜欢传统阅读超过电子阅读，所以纸质图书仍然受到读者的欢迎，故选B.
【名师点睛】主旨要义型题范围一般包括：短文标题、主题大意或段落大意等。
此题型要求考生在理解文章后归纳文章要点，概括中心思想。考生需要分析文章的篇章结构，抓住文章的开头或结尾，从而找出能概括文章的主题句。主题句的特点：(1)语言特点：归纳性、概括性、抽象性；(2)位置特点：主题句常出现在“总结性”语言的“信号词”后，如：in summary, in a word, as a result, finally, in short, in conclusion和in brief等；主题句常出现在“转移话题式”语言的“信号词”后，如：but, however, nevertheless，hence等。例如：本题中的第4小题。
【解题剖析】该小题属于段落大意。根据本段的最后一句话：“In China, nearly 60% of people still prefer traditional reading to e-reading.” 在中国，有接近60%的人仍然喜欢传统阅读超过电子阅读，此句是本段的主题句；且根据倒数第二段的这一疑问句“But does that mean e-reading is replacing traditional reading in China? ”，但那就意味着在中国电子阅读在取代传统阅读吗？这一“转移话题式”的句子后面跟的就是中心段，而最后一句真好回答了这一问题，故选项B“纸质图书仍然受到读者的欢迎”正确。

    Like a flower with a pleasant scent, your smile can draw people close enough to see inside you. That's Smile Power. A smile has the power to radiate the qualities that make you beautiful on the inside - kindness, friendship, honesty, respect, patience, and self-control. So please give smiles away like flowers. Let your smile be an invitation for others to get to know the great person behind the smile. Then let people see that your smile doesn't stop at your mouth. It goes all the way to your heart. On the other hand, we are drawn to people who smile and we want to know a smiling person and figure out what is so good. Frowns, scowls and grimaces all push people away -- but a smile draws them in.

62.

Next time you are feeling down, try putting on a smile. There's a good chance you mood will change for the better. Smiling can trick the body into helping you to have a good feelings. So smile is a good state of mind, you have a smile, then you will have a better feelings. So when you are smiling you lighten up the room, change the moods of others, and make things happier.

63.   

The muscles we use to smile lift the face, making a person appear younger. Don't go for a face lift, just try smiling your way through the day -- you'll look younger. Then you will feel better and have more confident, thus are more likely to be promoted, and more likely to be approached. Put on a smile at meetings and appointments and people will react to you differently because of your confidence.

64. 

Stress can really show up in our faces. Smiling helps to prevent us from looking tired, worn down, and overwhelmed. When you are stressed, take time to put on a smile. This is because when you smile, there is a measurable reduction in your blood pressure. You can sit for a few minutes, take a reading. Then smile for a minute and take another reading while still smiling. You will be happy to see your stress disappears quickly. 

65.  

Now try to think of something negative without losing the smile. It's hard. When we smile our body is sending the rest of us a message that "Life is Good!" Stay away from depression, stress and worry by smiling. So smile is a positive state of mind, every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing and then other people will also answer your smile.
