Question

【題目】 The saying, “Don’t judge a book by its cover, means you should not guess the worth or value of something based on how it looks. That message was clear at a recent event called the Human Library Project. The event took place at the Northern Virginia, or NoVa, Community College, outside of Washington. D. C.

The Human Library began 19 years ago in Denmark. It grew from a youth organization called “Stop the Violence”. Today, it is a worldwide movement. At the NoVa event, students got the chance to learn from a person—a “human book”—instead of a library book.

Patricia Cooper organized the event. She said that human books celebrate variety by telling their life stories in an easy-going setting. “The goal of the human library is to talk to people in your community who you may otherwise not speak to because you have your own prejudices (偏見(jiàn)) and hopefully to break down some of these barriers.”

This is the third year that NoVa has held such an event. The collection of human books included a civil rights activist, a scientist from the American space agency NASA, and an opera singer.

Artist Brian Dailey was a human book. He spoke about his travels to 113 countries in seven years. Dailey said that, during his travels, he asked people whom he took pictures of for a one-word answer to a series of other words—such as love, freedom and war. He discovered that people in different countries often had very different reactions to the same word.

When Dailey asked people in Africa about the word “war” they used words like justice, liberation and peace. When he asked the same question to people in Syrian refugee camps, the answer was: “tears, hunger, fear, destruction”.

【4】B

【解析】

本文是一篇說(shuō)明文。文章介紹了一項(xiàng)人類圖書(shū)館計(jì)劃，它始于19年前的丹麥，在這項(xiàng)活動(dòng)中，學(xué)生們有機(jī)會(huì)向一個(gè)人學(xué)習(xí)，一本“人類的書(shū)”，而不是圖書(shū)館里的書(shū)。

【1】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段的第三句The goal of the human library is to talk to people in your community.（人類圖書(shū)館的目標(biāo)是與你所在社區(qū)的人們交流。）可知，真人圖書(shū)館的目標(biāo)是讓社區(qū)中的人相互交流。故選C。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第五段的第二句He spoke about his travels to 113 countries in seven years.（他講述了自己在七年內(nèi)游歷113個(gè)國(guó)家的經(jīng)歷。）可知，Brian Dailey講述了自己在七年內(nèi)游歷113個(gè)國(guó)家的經(jīng)歷。故選D。

【3】推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段的第一句When Dailey asked people in Africa about the word “war” they used words like justice, liberation and peace可知，Dailey向非洲人民詢問(wèn)“戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)”一詞時(shí)，他們使用了正義、解放和和平等詞匯。這說(shuō)明他們對(duì)戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)持積極肯定的態(tài)度。故選A。

【4】主旨大意題。根據(jù)第二段的最后一句students got the chance to learn from a person — a “human book” — instead of a library book可知，文章談?wù)摰氖且粋�(gè)人類圖書(shū)館計(jì)劃�；顒�(dòng)中，學(xué)生們有機(jī)會(huì)向一個(gè)人學(xué)習(xí)，一本“人的書(shū)”，而不是圖書(shū)館里的書(shū)。就是跟一個(gè)人交流，聽(tīng)別人談經(jīng)歷。故選B。

文章主題和中心思想的闡述往往需要大量細(xì)節(jié)信息的支持，這些細(xì)節(jié)對(duì)于理解全文內(nèi)容至關(guān)重要，同時(shí)也是歸納和概括文章中心思想的基礎(chǔ)。命題人往往會(huì)要求考生根據(jù)不同的要求閱讀文章，以獲得某些特定的信息，或準(zhǔn)確地尋求所需的細(xì)節(jié)，并對(duì)細(xì)節(jié)進(jìn)行直接或間接辨認(rèn)和理解。有一種文章細(xì)節(jié)理解題是一一對(duì)應(yīng)型。答案與題目在表達(dá)形式和意義上直接吻合，一一對(duì)應(yīng)，一目了然。屬于淺層次的閱讀試題，分?jǐn)?shù)比例較少。解答此類試題時(shí)，不必通篇細(xì)看原文，而應(yīng)采取“帶著問(wèn)題找答案”的方法，先從問(wèn)題中抓住關(guān)鍵性詞語(yǔ)（題眼），然后以此為線索，運(yùn)用略讀及查讀的技巧快速在文章中尋找與此問(wèn)題相關(guān)的：段落、語(yǔ)句，仔細(xì)品味，對(duì)照比較，確定答案。如第一小題，根據(jù)第三段的第三句The goal of the human library is to talk to people in your community.（人類圖書(shū)館的目標(biāo)是與你所在社區(qū)的人們交流。）可知，真人圖書(shū)館的目標(biāo)是讓社區(qū)中的人相互交流。故選C。
