Question

【題目】Listen to your books

With the development of technology and the Internet, there is a new trend（趨勢）in reading audiobooks. More people are choosing to listen to audiobooks these days, according to this year's national reading report.

The report was released by the Chinese Academy of Press and publication (CAPP ). It shows that audiobooks have become quite popular among most readers. One in three adults listen to audiobooks. They mainly use popular audio sharing platforms（平臺）like Ximalaya.

Kids have also been a main driver（主要驅(qū)動力）in the development of audiobooks. Ximalaya noted that the value of audiobook purchases (購買）made by those aged 13 to 18 in 2018 increased by 330 percent over that of 2017, the Beijing Evening News reported.

In addition, around 26. 8 percent of children under 3 years old listen to audiobooks. Most of them listen at least once a week. Their favorite categories（分類）are "stories for kids" and "poetry reading".

One of the reasons audiobooks have taken off is that people want to get more use out of their free time, China News Service reported. Whether they're at the gym, on a bus, or in bed, people can enjoy reading without a heavy paper book or an e-reader. Faster internet speeds mean one can download a whole book in just seconds, according to Wei Yushan, director of CAPP.

Audio app content designers have invited broadcasters (播音員）and production(制作）groups to join in content production. Both the quality and number of audiobooks being offered have greatly improved. More people can find the audiobooks they like the most, the report says.

本文講述了現(xiàn)在有聲讀物越來越流行，還介紹了有聲讀物的優(yōu)點(diǎn)：有聲書大受歡迎的原因之一是人們想充分利用空閑時間；快的網(wǎng)速使人們可以在幾秒鐘內(nèi)下載一整本書。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“ One in three adults listen to audiobooks.”可知三分之一的成年人聽有聲讀物，故選A。

【2】推理判斷題。根據(jù)“Kids have also been a main driver in the development of audiobooks...around 26. 8 percent of children under 3 years old listen to audiobooks...Their favorite categories are ‘stories for kids’ and ‘poetry reading’.”可知兒童是有聲讀物的主要推動力，大約26.3%的3歲以下兒童聽有聲讀物，他們最喜歡的是兒童故事和詩歌朗讀，因此可推測出是小孩子可能最喜歡詩歌，故選B。

【3】推理判斷題。根據(jù)“Faster internet speeds mean one can download a whole book in just seconds, according to Wei Yushan, director of CAPP.”可知更快的網(wǎng)速意味著你可以在幾秒鐘內(nèi)下載一整本書，因此快的網(wǎng)速會幫助有聲讀物成長。故選B。

【4】推理判斷題。根據(jù)“They mainly use popular audio sharing platforms（平臺）like Ximalaya.”可知他們主要使用流行的音頻分享平臺像Ximalaya，與選項(xiàng)A內(nèi)容相符；根據(jù)“Kids have also been a main driver in the development of audiobooks.”可知兒童是主要推動者，與選項(xiàng)B內(nèi)容不符；根據(jù)“ Whether they're at the gym, on a bus, or in bed, people can enjoy reading without a heavy paper book or an e-reader.”可知無論是在健身房，在公交車上，還是在床上，人們都可以享受閱讀的樂趣，而不需要沉重的紙質(zhì)書或電子閱讀器，與選項(xiàng)C內(nèi)容相符；故選B。

【5】推理判斷題。根據(jù)“Audio app content designers have invited broadcasters (播音員）and production(制作）groups …More people can find the audiobooks they like the most, the report says.”可知音頻應(yīng)用程序內(nèi)容設(shè)計師邀請播音員和制作團(tuán)體加入內(nèi)容制作，更多的人可以找到他們最喜歡的有聲讀物，可推測出音頻應(yīng)用程序正在努力制作更多好的有聲讀物。故選C。
