45、and beyond. The concept is simple: help to build a sense of community in a city by getting everyone to read the same book at the same time.In addition to encouraging reading as a pursuit (追求) to be enjoyed by all, the program allows strangers to communicate by discussing the book on the bus, as well

46、 as promoting reading as an experience to be shared in families and schools. The idea came from Seattle librarian Nancy Pearl who launched (发起）the If All of Seattle Read the Same Book project in 1998. Her original program used author visits, study guides and book discussion groups to bring people to

47、gether with a book, but the idea has since expanded to many other American cities, and even to Hongkong.In Chicago, the mayor(市长）appeared on television to announce the choice of To Kill a Mockingbird as the first book in the One Book, One Chicago program. As a result, reading clubs and neighbourhood

48、 groups sprang up around the city. Across the US, stories emerged of parents and children reading to each other at night and strangers chatting away on the bus about plot and character.The only problem arose in New York , where local readers could not decide on one book to represent the huge and div

49、erse population. This may show that the idea works best in medium-sized cities or large towns, where a greater sense of unity(一致)can be achieved .Or it may show that New Yorkers rather missed the point ,putting all their energy and passion into the choice of the book rather than discussion about a b

50、ook itself. Ultimately, as Nancy points out, the level of success is not measured by how many people read a book, but by how many people are enriched by the process, or have enjoyed speaking to someone with whom they would not otherwise have shared a word.41. What is the purpose of the project launc

51、hed by Nancy?A. To invite authors to guide readers.B. To encourage people to read and share.C. To involve people in community service.D. To promote the friendship between cities.42. Why was it difficult for New Yorkers to carry out the project?A. They had little interest in reading.B. They were too

52、busy to read a book.C. They came from many different backgroundsD.T hey lacked support from the local government43. According to the passage, where would the project be more easily carried out?A. In large communities with little sense of unityB. In large cities where libraries are far from homeC. In

53、 medium-sized cities with a diverse populationD .In large towns where agreement can be quickly reached44. The underlined words “shared a word” in Paragraph 5 probably meanA. exchanged ideas with each other B. discussed the meaning of a wordC. gained life experience D. used the same language45. Accor

54、ding to Nancy, the degree of success of the project is judged by_A. the careful selection of a proper bookB. the growing popularity of the writersC. the number of people who benefit from reading.D. the number of books that each person reads.第二节 信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）(E涂AB, F 涂CD)阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配

78、s dream all the time, eventually succeeded in owning a horse ranch. For a person, belief, always plays an important role in his/her life.

80、in the pitchblende. In order to improve her discovery, Marie and her husband worked hard. At last they saw the dim blue light of new element radium. Her dream had come true. From my personal point of view, it can be seen that one with firmly-held belief is likely to get successful and master his own life.
