It became well-known for publishing Allen Ginsberg's influential poem Howl and Other Poems. Having been a gathering place for American literary icons (偶像), like Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg, this “Literary Landmark” attracts book lovers from across the country and around the world. El Ateneo Grand Splendid, Buenos Aires, Argentina Occupying a 1920s theatre in the city's downtown, El Ateneo Grand Splendid has kept the original furnishings — original balconies, painted ceilings, shining carvings and deep red stage curtains — and added books. The former theatre boxes became reading rooms. Putting your fingers to pages, enjoying the cosy atmosphere of the cafe on the stage between red velvet curtains, will be definitely perfect time. Livraria Lello, Porto, Portugal First opened in 1906, it is in Portugal's second city, Porto. Its front with a beautiful design, complicated decoration and volumes of books attract many admirers. The lazy red staircase is the centerpiece of this amazing shop, which winds up to the first floor like a flower. Books are available in English, Portuguese and French. A small cafe upstairs is a great place to quietly read your new book and enjoy a selection of coffees, wine and cigars. Shakespeare & Company, Paris, France Originally established in 1919 by Sylvia Beach, it is a combination of a bookstore and a reading library, specializing in English-language literature. In the 1920s, the store was a meeting point for literary icons such as Ezra Pound, Ernest Hemingway and James Joyce. Located in the 5th District, in Paris's Left Bank, the current store was opened in 1951, named after and in honor of the earlier store closed during World War Ⅱ. It is a cosy place to admire the packed shelves and poetic posters. 语篇解读:本文是一篇应用文,介绍了四家世界上最美的书店。 21.In which bookstore can people admire the flower-like staircase in the center? A.City Lights.

D.Its comfortableness. 解析:选A 细节理解题。根据第二家书店下的“Occupying a 1920s theatre in the city's downtown, El Ateneo Grand Splendid has kept the original furnishings”可知,这家书店的特色就是保留了以前剧院的家具。因此选A。 23.Which bookstore also publishes books? A.City Lights. B.El Ateneo Grand Splendid. C.Livraria Lello. D.Shakespeare & Company. 解析:选A 细节理解题。根据第一家书店下的“City Lights, a bookstore-publisher combination”可知,这家书店既是书店又是出版机构。 24.What do City Lights and Shakespeare & Company have in common? A.They pack the shelves. B.They provide good coffees. C.They were opened early. D.They received famous writers. 解析:选D 推理判断题。根据第一家书店下的“Having been a gathering place for American literary icons (偶像)”和第四家书店下的“the store was a meeting point for literary icons”可知,这两家书店都是作家的聚集地,即它们都接待一些著名的作家。 B (2018·江西省红色七校联考)The media has negative effects on the physical and psychological well-being of society.People spending hours in front of a television or surfing the Internet experience eye problems.Lack of physical activity leads to obesity problems.The media influences public opinion and impacts the choices that people make.The media has led to a general opinion that thin is in and fat is out.This makes the overweight feel out of place.They are ready to starve themselves to lose weight, which has led to increasing cases of eating disorders. The media has, in its own way, changed people's outlook on life.It is the interface (界面) through which millions look at the world outside. The media claims to describe the “today”, but not all types of media show the truth.With the intention of stressing 3
their point or grabbing greater attention from the masses, the media exaggerates (夸大) things to a certain degree.Not everyone is able to filter_out that element.Most believe everything to be real, especially kids and teenagers. Media sources are so many in number and all of them so convincingly make their point that it is hard to distinguish between right and wrong.Thus while a certain amount of exposure to the media is essential for introducing ourselves to the world outside, excessive exposure, uncontrolled access and belief without thought won't lead us anywhere.They will only make the negative effect of the media more obvious. Media descriptions give rise to stereotypes, affecting your mindset.Advertisements carry subliminal (潜意识的) messages influencing buyers' psychology, or carry direct messages that bear a negative influence.It's not possible to protect yourself completely from the effects of the media, even if you limit the exposure.And these are so many things you see around you, without choosing to watch them.The only way to protect yourself from them is to not allow them to influence you.Don't take media descriptions at their word.Don't believe in them without thinking.Think twice before following or falling for anything. 语篇解读:媒体为了达到某一目的,往往会对人们造成误导,其负面影响很大。因此人们对媒体所传达的信息要进行理智的思考和判断,决不能盲目相信。 25.How does the media affect people's health? A.It misshapes people's concept of beauty. B.It disturbs people's sleeping routines. C.It makes people addicted to junk food. D.It raises people's awareness of exercise. 解析:选A 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The media influences public opinion and impacts the choices that people make.The media has led to a general opinion that thin is in and fat is out ...”可知,媒体影响公众的观点以及人们所作出的选择,媒体导致公众认为“瘦是时尚,胖是落伍”,这使得肥胖的人觉得自己格格不入,于是他们准备饿肚子来减肥,从而导致饮食紊乱。由此可知,媒体会使人们形成有关美的错误观念。故选A。 26.Which word can replace the underlined part “filter out” in Paragraph 2? A.Accept. B.Convey. C.Remove. D.Interpret. 解析:选C 词义猜测题。根据文章第二段中的“With the intention of stressing their point or grabbing greater attention from the masses, the media exaggerates (夸大) things to a certain degree.”“Most believe everything to be real, especially kids and teenagers”可知,为了吸引大众更多的关注,媒体会在一定程度上夸大事物,而不是每个人都能够去除“夸张”这种因素的影响。大部分人认为一切都是真的,尤其是孩子和青少年。由此可推知画
