11．An idea that started in Seattle's public library has spread throughout America 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 as promoting reading as an experience to be shared in families and schools．The idea came from Seattle librarian Nancy Pearl who launched （發(fā)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 together with a book，but the idea has since expanded to many other American cities，and even to Hong Kong．
In Chicago，the mayor 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 neighborhood 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 diverse 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 book itself．
Ultinatelas 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．

分析 這篇文章主要講述的是由 Nancy發(fā)起的一項(xiàng)活動(dòng)，其目的是鼓勵(lì)人們多閱讀和學(xué)會(huì)與人分享．
解答 32-35．BCDC
32．B 細(xì)節(jié)題．由第二段第一句"…encouraging reading as a pursuit to be enjoyed by all，…，as an experience to be shared in families and schools．"中的關(guān)鍵詞 encourage 和 share 可知鼓勵(lì)人們閱讀和分享，正確答案為B．
33．C 細(xì)節(jié)題．由第四段第一句"The only problem arose in New York，where local readers could not decide on one book to represent the huge and diverse population．"中的關(guān)鍵詞 diverse population 可知，紐約人口的文化背景差異很大，這正是該項(xiàng)活動(dòng)推行困難的原因，故正確答案為C．
34．D 細(xì)節(jié)題．由第四段第二句"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．"可知，在意識(shí)形態(tài)更一致的中等城市或大城鎮(zhèn)更容易推行該項(xiàng)活動(dòng)，故正確答案為D．
35．C 細(xì)節(jié)題．由最后一段"…the level of success is not measured by how many people read a book，but by how many people are enriched by the process…"可知，Nancy 認(rèn)為這個(gè)項(xiàng)目成功的程度不是用多少人讀一本書來衡量，而是由多少人從這個(gè)過程中受益來決定的．A、B、D項(xiàng)的敘述與原文不符，故正確答案為C．
點(diǎn)評(píng) 做閱讀時(shí)經(jīng)常犯錯(cuò)的主要原因是，僅憑讀過文章后殘留在腦海中的一絲印象來勾選答案，這樣便很容易掉入出題人故意設(shè)布下的題目陷阱．所謂閱讀理解，對(duì)于題目的理解一定要忠實(shí)于原文，因此，每一道題都應(yīng)該與原文作全面的對(duì)比與核查，再得出答案．也就是說，閱讀理解的每一道題目，在原文都應(yīng)該有明確的出處，我們把這一出處叫做原文相關(guān)句，（1）排除與原文相關(guān)句主題不一致的選項(xiàng)（2）排除與原文相關(guān)句態(tài)度相反的選項(xiàng) （3）排除用于過于極端或負(fù)面的選項(xiàng)（4）注意結(jié)合文章主旨和主題去排除．
