(2013·新課標(biāo)全國(guó)卷)It happened to me recently.I was telling someone how much I had enjoyed reading Barack Obama's Dreams From My Father and how it had changed my views of our President.A friend I was talking to agreed with me that it was，in his words，“a brilliantly(精彩地) written book”.However，he then went on to talk about Mr.Obama in a way which suggested he had no idea of his background at all.I sensed that I was talking to a book liar.
And it seems that my friend is not the only one.Approximately two thirds of people have lied about reading a book which they haven't.In the World Book Day's “Report on Guilty Secrets”，Dreams From My Father is at number 9.The report lists ten books，and various authors，which people have lied about reading，and as I'm not one to lie too often (I'd hate to be caught out)，I'll admit here and now that I haven't read the entire top ten.But I am pleased to say that，unlike 42 percent of people，I have read the book at number one，George Orwell's 1984.I think it's really brilliant.
The World Book Day report also has some other interesting information in it.It says that many people lie about having read Jane Austen，Charles Dickens，F(xiàn)yodor Dostoevsky (I haven't read him，but haven't lied about it either) and Herman Melville.
Asked why they lied，the most common reason was to “impress” someone they were speaking to.This could be tricky if the conversation became more in-depth!
But when asked which authors they actually enjoy，people named J.K.Rowling，John Grisham，Sophie Kinsella (ah，the big sellers，in other words).Forty-two percent of people asked admitted they turned to the back of the book to read the end before finishing the story (I'll come clean：I do this and am astonished that 58 percent said they had never done so).
1.How did the author find his friend a book liar?
A.By judging his manner of speaking.
B.By looking into his background.
C.By mentioning a famous name.
D.By discussing the book itself.
解析 推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第一段的最后兩句“However, he then went on to talk about Mr.Obama in a way which suggested he had no idea of his background at all.I sensed that I was talking to a book liar.”可以推斷出通過(guò)討論這本書的內(nèi)容作者進(jìn)而發(fā)現(xiàn)朋友在撒謊，故選D。其中，選項(xiàng)A在文中沒(méi)有體現(xiàn);選項(xiàng)B偷梁換柱，利用文中出現(xiàn)的his(Mr.Obama) background來(lái)迷惑考生;選項(xiàng)C看似在文中首段第二、三句有所體現(xiàn)，但它并不能很好地回答題干所提出的問(wèn)題，答非所問(wèn)，故排除。 答案 D
2.Which of the following is a “guilty secret” according to the World Book Day
report?
A.Charles Dickens is very low on the top-ten list.
B.42% of people pretended to have read 1984.
C.The author admitted having read 9 books.
D.Dreams From My Father is hardly read.
解析 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第二段最后兩句“But I am pleased to say that, unlike 42 percent of people, I have read the book at number one, George Orwell's 1984.I think it's really brilliant.”可知答案。選項(xiàng)A和D提到的細(xì)節(jié)在文中是有出現(xiàn)，但是選項(xiàng)的內(nèi)容無(wú)法從文章中得出結(jié)論;選項(xiàng)C的信息作者在本文沒(méi)有敘述。
答案 B
3.By lying about reading，a person hopes to________.
A.control the conversation
B.appear knowledgeable
C.learn about the book
D.make more friends
解析 推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第四段第一句“Asked why they lied, the most common reason was to ‘impress’ someone they were speaking to.”可知答案為B項(xiàng)。 答案 B
4.What is the author's attitude to 58% of readers?
A.Favorable.
C.Doubtful. B.Uncaring. D.Friendly.
解析 作者態(tài)度題。結(jié)合文章大意，以及文中最后出現(xiàn)的“...am astonished that 58 percent said they had never done so”可知，作者對(duì)58% of readers持懷疑態(tài)度，故C項(xiàng)(懷疑的)符合文意。選項(xiàng)B(不予關(guān)注的)，顯然錯(cuò)誤，作者若不予以關(guān)注就不會(huì)寫出這篇文章。
