社會進(jìn)步與人類文明.閱讀理解(2021·鄭州模擬)Every morning I walk outside and bring in the morning newspaper. There was a time when every house on both sides of the street had a newspaper in the driveway. There was also a time when every house had a landline telephone, but not anymore. Not for a long time.My husband is less willing to accept the downward trend of print-edition newspapers, as he has worked in newspapers since the age of 16. Even before that, he was what you would call an “independent publisher”.Recently, we were at a Chicago park with our grandchildren. My husband had a newspaper folded under his arm. He sat down and put the paper on the bench beside him. A young girl walked over, looked at the newspaper, picked it up and asked, “What's this?”I thought he was going to fall over. The color faded from his face. His eyes rolled back in his head and his_legs_were_giving_out. I rolled up his paper and waved it under his nose. The smells from the ink woke him up.Some people simply love paper — the feel, the portability, and the pleasure of piling them higher and higher until their wife cries, “Enough!” My husband was happy when he spent time with our youngest daughter and her husband. When they lived with us, they raced to pull the crossword puzzle from the paper every day. It's hard to do a crossword online. Pencil doesn't come off a computer screen as easily as you might think.Now my husband will be very excited that I have found further proof that there may still be hope for the survival of print. I was chatting with a young mother who subscribes to the daily newspaper. I asked why she did something so conservatively. She looked shocked. “Because it's print!” she said. “I love print! When the paper didn't come one day, would you believe I called the main number to let them know and the lady said, ‘Why don't you just subscribe to the online version?’” She shook her head in disbelief.My husband will be so thrilled that he might write this young woman into his will. I say we leave her all our piles of old newspapers.語篇解讀:本文是一篇記敘文。作者的丈夫從16歲時起就從事與報紙有關(guān)的工作,文章講述了作者的丈夫與一些人關(guān)于報紙的故事,表達(dá)了作者的丈夫?qū)Α坝∷蠹垺庇篮愕膼邸?/span>1.How did the author's husband feel when a girl asked a question in the park?A.Shocked.         B.Thrilled.C.Disappointed.  D.Confused.解析:選A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段可知,他在聽到女孩的問題時,震驚地要暈倒了。A項(xiàng)(震驚的)符合文章描述,故選A項(xiàng)。2.What does the author probably mean by saying “his legs were giving out” ?A.He was feeling tired and needed a rest.B.He was very old and unable to stand long.C.He almost lost his balance and became unconscious.D.He was annoyed with the girl and played a trick on her.解析:選C 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段可知,作者說his legs were giving out(他的腿在抽搐)是想表達(dá)出他在知道小女孩竟然不知道他最在意的報紙是什么東西時,幾乎要失去了平衡,失去了知覺。故選C項(xiàng)。3.What does the author intend to tell us with the example of the young mother?A.Many young people follow an old-fashioned lifestyle.B.It's inconvenient for the old to read online newspapers.C.There're still young people who love printed newspapers.D.Printed newspapers will be replaced by online newspapers.解析:選C 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第六段中的“a young mother who subscribes to the daily newspaper”及“Because it's print!” she said. “I love print!”可知,這位年輕的母親喜歡印刷報紙,由此可推測出作者是為了表達(dá)還是有年輕人喜歡印刷報紙的。故選C項(xiàng)。4.What does the author mainly talk about in the passage?A.The new rise of digital newspapers on the line.B.A man's everlasting love for printed newspapers.C.The pleasure of looking through daily newspapers.D.A family's memory of reading printed newspapers.解析:選B 主旨大意題。根據(jù)第二段中的“My husband is less willing ... age of 16.”及最后一段中的“My husband will be so thrilled that he might write this young woman into his will.”及通讀全文可知,文章講述了作者丈夫與一些人關(guān)于報紙的故事,表達(dá)了作者丈夫?qū)Α坝∷蠹垺庇篮愕膼?。故選B項(xiàng)。.完形填空Days after New Jersey residents were ordered to stay at home last week because of the coronavirus,Sandy and John Driska were running __1__on groceries.Then Sandy Driska, 72, hear through a friend that an acquaintance who __2__ the local newspaper, found a typed note __3__up in her morning paper.“My name is Greg Dailey and I deliver your newspaper every morning,” the note __4__. “I understand during these __5__times it is difficult for some to get out of their house to get everyday __6__I would like to offer my services__7__to anyone who needs groceries.”It included his phone number.She was skeptical,but she___8___anyway because she was feeling desperate.Sandy said,“I called Greg, and he deliveredD|S302 of groceries to the front of my garage the very next day without charging me a penny __9__.”Dailey,50,is a self-described“shy guy”.But when he noticed that an older customer didn't want to walk down to the sidewalk to __10__her morning newspaper after the coronavirus pandemic arrived, it made him think there must be plenty of people on his __11__who were afraid to leave their home — even for groceries.Some grocery stores deliver,but it can__12__days or weeks.Customers have to figure out how to__13__their orders online, which can be__14__, and then there are delivery __15__to pay, a financial__16__ for many.Dailey sat down at his computer and typed out a(n)__17__ to shop for all 800 of his newspaper customers and __18__else in his delivery area that might need a little help.A few days ago, he received another thank-you note from a longtime subscriber,“You're the __19__thing to an angel I've ever seen.”“Do you know what that does to your heart?
