26、   Audio Texts Signal Rise of New Literacy

Many people read physical books or e-books, but now there is a new trend—listening to audiobooks（有声读物）.

According to a recent report by the Chinese Academy of Press and Publication（CAPP）, more people are choosing to listen to audiobooks these days.

To be specific, 26 percent of adults listened to audiobooks in 2018, which was 3. 2 percentage higher than that in 2017.

Young people have been the main driver in the development of audiobooks. Some 26.2 percent of teenagers listened to audiobooks in 2018, which was 3. 5 percent higher than that in 2017.  Ximalaya noted that the value of audiobook purchases made by those aged 13 to 18 in 2018 increased by 330 percent over that of 2017, the Beijing Evening News reported.

One of the reasons that audiobooks are becoming increasingly popular is that people want to get more use out of their free time, China News Service reported. Listening to e-books frees up time for them, whether they are at the gym, on a bus, or in bed. Faster internet speeds mean that a book can be downloaded in seconds, according to Wei Yushan, director of CAPP.

Listening to audiobooks also helps with loneliness.“When I feel bored or lonely, listening to audiobooks makes me feel that there is someone accompanying（陪伴）me, ”Zhong Yan, an office worker who is obsessed with audiobooks, told the Beijing Evening News.

However, audiobooks are still far from perfect.“Listening to audiobooks doesn't make you think in the way you do when you're reading a book. It's also likely that you will miss information while you listen, ”said Zhong.

Qiang Qiang, a primary student who often listens to audiobooks, shares this perspective: " Despite（即使；尽管）its convenience, audiobooks are less detailed than physical books you read, ”he told the Beijing Evening News.

Li Yini, assistant general manager of Baicaoyuan Bookstore in Wuxi, Jiangsu province, told Jiangnan Times that people who want a book with serious content should choose a paper book or e-book, but they can choose an audiobook if the content is easy to understand.

【1】What can we learn from the first four paragraphs?

A.Audiobooks have developed quickly in recent years.

B.Audiobooks are more popular than physical books in China.

C.Ximalaya is the first choice when people listen to audiobooks.

D.About half of young people in China listened to audiobooks in 2018.

【2】According to the article, people like to listen to e-books because—·

A.they are more convenient B.they are cheaper than paper books

C.they are more relaxing than physical books D.they provide people with a better reading experience

【3】The phrase “be obsessed with" in Paragraph 6 probably means“ ___________, , .

A.be doubtful about B.be interested in

C.be careful about D.be disappointed at

【4】What can we learn from Li Yini's words?

A.Audiobooks are less detailed than physical books.

B.People should choose a book form based on its content.

C.People think differently when they listen to audiobooks.

D.Physical bookstores face a big challenge from audiobooks.

27、In order to push students to study at home as efficiently as they do in the classroom, one school in Shijiazhuang has demanded that students should attend their online courses in their school uniforms and that teachers should also, at the same time, give their lessons while wearing formal clothing. As soon as this regulation was released, it caused a heated debate.

In my opinion, whether to launch this regulation or not has arguments for and against it, depending upon one’s standpoint.

On the one hand, the practice of wearing appropriate clothing can help improve students’ sense of formality(仪式感) in their online classes, thereby making them more attentive. If all of the students were dressed in their pyjamas(睡衣) or clothes that would not be suitable for their classes at their schools, the quality of the lessons will perhaps decline as teenagers might easily become absent-minded and even feel sleepy. Therefore, the act of putting on one’s uniform while attending online classes can perhaps be quite effective as an aid and subconscious(潜意识的) reminder that they are students.

The other viewpoint is that students’ learning is their own business. Sooner or later they should be tasked with the responsibility of their own self-control. Therefore, taking online courses at home is the best opportunity for them to develop their ability of independent learning and good learning habits. The effect that online classes may have on students depends entirely on their own self-discipline(自律), so the argument about what kind of clothes they are dressed in shouldn't really be relevant.

To sum up, when we are studying from home on computers, it is both our sense of self-control and our sense of formality that can improve our studies. So it’s a matter of personal preference: You can wear a school uniform if it is of use to your own sense of learning and discipline, otherwise you shouldn't be required to show a fake or unwilling respect for your teachers and school by being forced to wear a uniform.

【1】Why are students required to wear school uniforms while attending online classes at home?

A．To show respect for teachers.

B．To push students to study efficiently.

C．To ensure students’ learning progress.

D．To show the formality of school.

【2】Which of the following is the reason why people support wearing school uniforms?

A．Students don’t have appropriate clothing besides pyjamas.

B．If students wear casual clothes in class, teachers can’t ensure the quality of lessons.

C．School uniforms can subconsciously remind students to study effectively.

D．Online classes will make students absent-minded and even feel sleepy.

【3】What is the fourth paragraph mainly about?

A．The importance of self-discipline.

B．The comparison between school uniforms and casual clothes.

C．The argument about what kind of clothes students should wear.

D．The reason why students don’t have to wear school uniforms at home.

【4】What can we infer about the author from the passage?

A．The author supports students to wear school uniforms while attending online courses.

B．The author thinks it unnecessary for students to wear school uniforms at home.

C．The author thinks it up to students whether to wear school uniforms at home.

D．The author insists on forcing students to wear uniforms.
