【推荐2】With the development of technology (科技) and the Internet, audiobooks (有声图书) are becoming popular in reading. More people are choosing to listen to audiobooks these days, according to this year’s national reading report.

The report shows that audiobooks become quite popular among most readers. In 100 adults, more than 30 listen to audiobooks. They mainly use popular audio sharing platforms like Ximalaya.

Kids are also main users in the development of audiobooks. Ximalaya said that teenagers spent several times as much money on audiobooks as they did last year.

What’s more, around 26. 8% of children under eight years old listen to audiobooks. Most of them listen at least once a week. “Stories for kids” and “poetry reading” are their favorite.

Why do audiobooks become so popular? One of the reasons is that people hope not to waste their free time, as China News Service reported. Whether they are at the gym, on a bus or in bed, people can enjoy reading without a heavy paper book or e-reader. Faster Internet speeds mean one can download (下载) a whole book in just seconds (秒).

Another reason is that audio app designers invited broadcasters (播音员) and production (制作) groups to join in their production. Both the quality (质量) and the number of audiobooks improved a lot. More people can find their favorite audiobooks, as a report says.

【推荐3】阅读短文及文后选项，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Many of us like to read books. We read everything from fiction to nonfiction (非小说 文学). In the past, we could only read traditional paper books.     1    

Now, we can read e-books most of the time. They still have covers and pages, but they’re not made of paper. Instead, they’re pictures on a screen.

Some people really love e-books.     2     They can read them on their cell phones and computers. However, in another way, they’re not so great because they have changed the way people read.

    3     Sometimes, we feel like we’re in the stories and forget about the real world.

However, that’s not true with e-books. With them, we might not focus on the books and our attention may be on other things.

When we read an e-book written in a foreign language, we can look up new words right away. That takes us out of the stories and to an online dictionary.     4     We can chat with our friends, check our e-mails, surf the Internet, search for things to buy, and more.

In a word, it makes a difference on our reading habits. Our eyes stop reading everything on the page.     5     Some people don’t mind that, but for others, it takes the fun out of reading.

A．We only look for key words to get information.

B．From there, we can easily change to something else.

C．E-books are great because people can carry a “library” of books with them all the time.

D．They have front and back covers and many pages in between.

E．With traditional books, we mainly pay attention to the stories in front of us.

【推荐2】Lisa has been to Antarctica (南极洲). Here is a page from her.

Tuesday       December 2

We planned to go to Rothera that morning. We’d be staying there for the next two weeks. Because Antarctica is the windiest place on earth, sometimes you can’t fly at all.

We had a nervous wait over breakfast to find out if we’d be leaving that day. People have to stay in Stanley for weeks while the pilots wait for good weather.

It turned clear at 9: 30 and we took off at 10: 30 on a little red plane called a Dash-7. But even when we were in the air, there was still a chance we wouldn’t be able to fly the whole day.

Wednesday       December 3

After waking up in the Antarctica for the first time today, I can understand why everybody who comes here falls in love with the place. It is really beautiful.

We’re staying at Rothera Survey base with mountains of ice all around. It’s about minus 2℃ today, which for me is very cold, but the regulars here are often seen walking around in T-shirts!

Thursday   December 4

I woke up to another beautiful sunny day here in the Antarctica. I’m told it’s a bit colder today, about minus 5℃, but it’s not very windy so it   feels warmer. Those of us who are new to the base have to do a special training course before we're allowed to go off the base to other stations or to go snowboarding over the nearby hill.

Saturday   December 6

Not a cloud in the sky and it’s warm enough to sit outside (in a jacket).

The most amazing thing about this place is how the scenery changes every day. At first I thought I was going mad. I’d step outside in the morning and think, “I’m sure that big mountain of ice wasn’t there yesterday.” It’s because the sea ice is always moving—slowly thankfully.

1. Lisa   sat outside wearing a jacket on       .

A．Tuesday

B．Wednesday

C．Thursday

D．Saturday

2.             could stop Lisa from leaving Stanley for Rothera.

A．Strong winds	B．Thick clouds
C．Mountains of ice	D．Low temperatures

3. The underlined word “go off” most probably means       .

B．change

C．guard

D．watch

4. Lisa felt       during her stay in the Antarctica.

A．afraid

B．nervous

C．amazed

D．bored

5. What left Lisa a deep impression about Rothera was that       .

A．people walked around in T-shirts	B．there was a special training course
C．the weather was sometimes warm	D．the scenery changed every day

6. From the article we can know this is a page from Lisa’s       .

My biggest challenge is learning how to behave at the dinner table. As you can imagine, things are very different from the way they are at home. For example, you are not supposed to put your bread on your plate. You’re supposed to put it on the table! I thought that was pretty strange at first, but now I’m used to it. Another example is that you’re not supposed to eat anything with your hands except bread, not even fruit. You have to cut it up and eat it with a fork. Another thing is that it is impolite to say you’re full. If you don’t want any more food, you should just say, “That was delicious.”Also, you’re not supposed to put your elbows on the table. I have to say that I found it difficult to remember everything, but I’m gradually getting used to it. I don’t find French customs so strange any more.

1. You’re supposed to put your bread on the table.
2. You’re not supposed to eat anything with your hands.
3. It’s not easy for me to remember everything.
4. This passage is about American customs.
5. This passage offers three examples to behave well at the dinner table.

【推荐3】阅读材料，根据内容判断其后各个小题正误。正确的选A，错误的选B。

In ancient times, people’s only transportation means (方法) were their feet. So it was difficult for them to travel from one place to another. As a result, they knew few things about outside world. The world was too big for them to understand.

With the development of modern science and technology, more and more transportation means appear: bicycle, bus, car, train, ship, plane, etc. They carry goods and passengers to and from every corner of the world. And they shorten the distance between people. With the help of these modern facilities (设备，工具), people all over the world can get in constant touch with each other.

So it’s easier for people from different nations to understand each other, to communicate with each other. Thus, this world is getting smaller and smaller, just like one big family.

1. In ancient times, people’s feet were their only transportation means.
2. In ancient times, is was easy for people to travel from one place to another.
3. In ancient times, the world was too small for them to understand.
4. In the modern society, we have many transportation means.
5. Because of these modern transportation means, the world is getting smaller and smaller.
