解答 46．A 細節(jié)理解題．從第一段第一句Queen ElizabethⅡis not only the queen of the United Kingdom，but she is also the queen of other 16 countries，including…女王伊麗莎白二世不僅是英國的女王，也是另外的16個國家的女王，可知選A．
47．D 細節(jié)理解題．從第三段第一句As Princess Elizabeth grew older，she started to play a part in British public life．隨著伊麗莎白公主逐漸成熟，她開始在英國的公眾生活中發(fā)揮作用．可知選D．

15．Are you a bookworm？Is your head stuck in a book for long？If so，that's a good thing．There are many benefits to reading．Getting into a good novel improves our literacy（讀寫能力）．But who or what encourages us to pick up a book and start reading？
    Of course，when we are young，our parents and teachers inspire us by introducing us to  characters that we love-or love to hate．And there are the authors-the people who invent and write about these characters．Good writing can really catch our imagination．
    One modern-day children's author is J．K．Rowling，who's known for her books about the wizard，Harry Potter．Last year she was named as a‘literacy hero'for her part in improving people's love of reading．The UK's National Literacy Trust awarded her the title for"turning a generation of children into readers．"
    The Trust also honoured schoolchildren，a librarian and teachers for their effort in trying to get people to read．The actor，Henry Winkler，who has dyslexia（閱讀障礙），Was also named for the books he has written about a boy with learning difficulties．
    Reading books is more than an enjoyable pastime；it can also help people in difficult circumstances．The author Pat Winslow worked as a writer in prisons and found reading and discussing stories helped prisoners reflect on their patterns of behaviour．She says"Very often we would have discussions about the moral compass of a character，what was the motivation of
somebody，why did they behave that way？"
    Today I like to read factual books such as biographies，where you get an insight into the lives of important and well-known people．I also enjoy looking at travel books and learning about journeys and new destinations．It's a good substitute if you can't visit in person．
    But the main benefit of reading is the improvement it brings to our literacy．The more we do it，the better we get and who knows-one day you may become the next Tolstoy，Jackie  Collins or even William Shakespeare．

46．How does the author introduce the topic of this text？A
A．By asking questions．   
B．By giving examples．
C．By offering suggestions．
D．By doing experiments．
47．What does the second paragraph mainly talk about？D
A．How teachers help US learn about characters．
B．Why parents love telling stories in our childhood．
C．What kinds of writings are suitable for teens to read．
D．Who or what encourages US to be interested in reading．
48．Why was the author J．K．Rowling called a‘literacy hero'？B
A．For her struggle against unfortunate life．
B．For her inspiring children to love reading．
C．For her experience of learning difficulties．
D．For her well-known books of Harry Potter．
49．Reading and discussing stories with prisonersD．
A．help them enjoy their pastime
B．1ead them to be prison writers
C．guide them to gain new knowledge
D．instruct them to start to a new life
50．For what purpose does the author like to read factual books？B
A．Because they are more interesting．
B．Because they supply inspirations for life．
C．Because they help people save a lot of money．
D．Because they completely take the place of personal travel．
