　　But my own worry today is fess that of the overwhelming problem of elemental literacy thanit is of the slightly more luxurious problem of the decline in the skill even of the middle-classreader, of his unwillingness to afford those spaces of silence. those luxuries of domesticityand time and concentration, that surround the image of the classic act of reading. n has beensuggested that almost 80 percent of America's literate, educated teenagers can no longer readwithout an accompanying noise (music) in the background or a television screen flickering (閃爍)at the corner of their field of perception. We know very little about the brain and how it dealswith simultaneous conflicting input, but every common-sense intuition suggests we should beprofoundly alarmed. This violation of concentration} silence, solitude (獨處的狀態(tài)) goestothe very heart of our notion of literacy; this new form of part-reading, of part-perceptionagainst background distraction renders impossible certain essential acts of apprehensionand concentration, let alone that most important tribute any human being can pay to a poemor a piece of prose he or she really loves, which is to learn it by heart. Not by brain. by heart;the expression is vital.

　　Under these circumstances. the question of what future there is for the arts of reading is a realone. Ahead of us lie technical. psychic(心理的). and social transformations probably much moredramatic than thosebrought about by Gutenberg, the German inventor in printing. TheGutenberg revolution. as we now know it, took a long time; its effects are still being debated.The information revolution will touch every fact ofcomposition. publication. distribution. andreading. No one in the book industry can say with any confidence what will

　　happen to the book as we've known it.

　　1.作者描繪的美國人的閱讀能力的畫面是_________。

　　A) 很暗淡的

　　B) 很明亮的

　　C) 令人印象深刻

　　D)非常具有鼓舞性

　　[A]根據(jù)文章第1段第1句“我無需舉例說明那種令人沮喪的受教育狀況”。句中depressing的意思與bleak相近，由此可推斷作者描繪的這幅畫面是相當黯淡的。

　　2.作者最大的擔心是_____________。

　　A) 小學生對閱讀課不感興趣

　　B)美國的文盲率出奇地高

　　C) 美國人閱讀的時候需要有背景音樂

　　D) 中產(chǎn)階級的閱讀能力和閱讀行為

　　[D]根據(jù)文章第2段第1句“目前我擔心的倒不是基本文化水平這個大問題，而是一個較為奢侈的問題，即美國中產(chǎn)階級讀者閱讀藝術(shù)的衰退，即使是中級的讀者也不愿意在寂靜無聲的空間里，放下家庭事務，付出時間全神貫注地進行經(jīng)典性的閱讀”，因此，只有D才與文中所陳述的意恩相符。

　　3.有閱讀能力的大多數(shù)青少年的`一個主要問題是___________。

　　A) 他們喜歡音樂和電視節(jié)目

　　B) 他們對藝術(shù)和文學多種多樣的形式一無所知

　　D) 他們不能專注于相互沖突的內(nèi)容

　　[C]在第2段第2句和倒數(shù)第二句作者提到“大約80%的有文化、受過教育的十幾歲的年輕人沒有背景音樂和閃爍的電視屏幕的陪伴就無法閱讀”和“而這種邊閱讀邊在背景的干涉下進行理解的新方法使人們不可能對所閱讀的東西全神貫注地加以理解”，由此可推斷只有C是正確的。

　　4.作者聲稱，讀者展示對詩歌或散文青睞的最好的方法就是_______________。

　　A) 能夠理解并記得住

　　B) 分析其最根本的特點

　　C) 有意識地深刻理解它

　　D) 對其藝術(shù)價值作出公平的評價

　　[A]根據(jù)文章第2段倒數(shù)第二句“更不用說將散文或詩歌，不是用腦。而是用心背下來，這是人們欣賞他們所喜歡的詩歌或散文的最好的方式”，因此A與作者所表述的觀點一致，因而正確。
