V. 阅读理解 （每小题2分，共计20分）
A
People read books less often in these days. With the invention of radio, television and most
recently, the Internet and computer games, it seems that reading books is no longer a popular
activity. However, I believe that books are an important part of our lives.
Books offer an outstanding wealth of learning and at a cheaper price than taking a course.
Books can make people cleverer, because heavy readers have greater knowledge of how things
work and who or what people were.
Everything in today’s society requires reading. Imagine trying to do something as simple as
reading the directions on a medicine bottle without good reading skills. Someone could not
understand them and become very sick or even die.
Even something as simple as walking or driving through the city could become very dangerous
without enough reading. Sometimes, you must be able to understand what is written and explain
the meaning of them.
Some people say that reading is a waste of time and we can do better things with our time. Evenif we don't read books, we still read every day, and reading books can strengthen (加强) our
abilities. Reading is one of the greatest things we can do in our spare time.
With a book, you can travel anywhere you want, do anything you want, and talk to anyone you
want. Reading is very important in our lives, no matter your age. So I think people should read
books.
46. What activity is less popular these days than before?
A. Reading a book.
B. Listening to the radio.
C. Watching TV.
D. Surfing the Internet.
47. We can learn from the second paragraph that _______.
A . reading can improve your memory
B. reading can make you interesting and attractive
C. reading can make you smarter
D. reading can reduce stress
48. The underlined word "them" in the third paragraph refers to ________.
A. the books they are reading
B. the directions on a medicine bottle
C. the good reading skills
D. the words a doctor tells a sick person
49. Some people disagree to read books because they think _________.
A. walking in the city also needs reading skills
B. driving along the road is dangerous
C reading books is very helpful for our abilities
D. reading books just wastes their time
50. The best title of the passage can be _________.
A. People Should Enjoy Themselves
B. How We Improve Reading Skills
C. Why People Should Read Books
D. What We Love Doing in Spare Time
