Audible now has about 30 totally new audio works in production.And it turns out that audio books, which have long been regarded as less important than ebooks, have actually been doing quite well.They are a$1，000，000，000 industry, with more than 35，000 titles published in 2013 alone. What promotes that progress is not only an evolution of technology, but more importantly, the rise of the celebrity(名人) narrator.Narrators are key to the success of an audio book and these days, producers are signing on more and more celebrities.Celebrities’ narration is like a private performance to customers, who get a feeling of closeness in listening to their voices.Many of the customers buy audio books based on the narrator.They will listen to anything a specific actor or actress reads. That is why Audible is taking the risk of not producing print books at all but starting totally new audio works.There’s another reason why the pany is expecting its risktaking action to pay off: humans have been telling stories since the beginning of time.We are taking part in a little habit that goes back thousands and thousands of years—before the first mark was ever made on a stone.Long before writing, people were telling each other stories and the audio book goes all the way back to that tradition.As Peter Allen sang softly in the 1970s, everything old is new again. 【解題導(dǎo)語】　科技進(jìn)步、大公司的推動以及人們觀念的更新使得有聲讀物從以前的不受重視到如今深受青睞。 8．The “new chapter” in Para.1 refers to a time of ________． A．producing totally new audio works B．starting audio panies C．narrating print books for audio D．creating electronic books A　解析：詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第一段第二句中的“Audible, the largest pany of audio books, has begun asking wellknown writers to create works specifically for audio, instead of inviting people to narrate already existing print books”可知，畫線詞“new chapter”指代最大的有聲讀物公司Audible讓知名的作家創(chuàng)作有聲讀物的時期，故A項(xiàng)正確。 9．What does Paragraph 2 tell about audio books? A．Their difference from ebooks. B．Their previous production. C．Their great importance. D．Their bright future. D　解析：段落大意題。根據(jù)第二段的第二句“And it turns out that audio books, which have long been regarded as less important than ebooks, have actually been doing quite well.”可知，曾被認(rèn)為沒有電子書重要的有聲讀物結(jié)果發(fā)展良好；據(jù)此可以判斷，該段主要闡述了有聲讀物光明的發(fā)展前途，故D項(xiàng)正確。 10．Customers like celebrities’ narration because ________． A．celebrities help them understand the stories B．celebrities have more attractive voices C．celebrities have better narrating skills D．celebrities seem to be within their reach D　解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段的第三句“Celebrities’ narration is like a private performance to customers, who get a feeling of closeness in listening to their voices.”可知，讀者喜歡聽名人解說是因?yàn)檫@樣似乎能與名人有近距離接觸，故D項(xiàng)正確。 11．Audible believes its risktaking action will be rewarding because ________． A．the action agrees with the storytelling tradition B．customers play an active role in the action C．the pany has spent a lot on the action D．the action has lasted for a long time A　解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段的第二句“There’s another reason why the pany is expecting its risktaking action to pay off: humans have been telling stories since the beginning of time.”可知，Audible公司預(yù)計這種冒險行動會獲得成功是因?yàn)槿藗冇兄v故事的傳統(tǒng)，故A項(xiàng)正確。 D (2018重慶調(diào)研抽測)As the world bees more connected, the number of people living outside their home country is on the rise. To find out what makes expats(移民) happy in their new hometown, the global munity network InterNations recently conducted their annual Expat Insider survey. In Malta, warm weather and nearness to Europe are the big draws for this Mediterranean nation. The climate leads to a slower pace of life. “Some shops have a ‘siesta’ early in the afternoon, and many people notice slow service at the restaurants，” said an InterNations Consul from Rome. “I remember sitting at a table around 8 p．m. once and leaving at midnight! We only had a starter and one main.” In Ecuador, friendly people, affordable healthcare and tasty, cheap food are just a few reasons as to why expats love living in Ecuador. Plus, the country’s diverse cities give expats a lot of choices. “The beauty of Ecuador is the variety，” said an InterNations ambassador. “The people who e to retire in Ecuador often look for a lower cost of living, so the coastline, the southern part of Ecuador and Ambato will fit this type of expat. In the case of business－minded or outgoing expats, Quito, Guayaquil and Cuenca are the cities to live in.” The bigger cities do e at a cost, he warned, with higher prices for rent and eating out. In New Zealand, the country’s natural beauty draws people from across the world, and with easy access to both cities and beaches, expats usually adopt the local relaxed lifestyle. An InterNations Ambassador from Hong Kong notes that a typical Kiwi works 8：30 a．m. to 5 p．m., never overtime, and enjoys meals and weekend activities, like house parties, road trips or hiking, with their family. 【解題導(dǎo)語】　本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了是什么使移民人士在新家鄉(xiāng)感到快樂的調(diào)查研究。 12．What is InterNations’ survey for?
