    In the United Kingdom,the day is recognized on the first Thursday in March.On 3rd March 2016 children of all ages in the UK will come together to appreciate reading.Sometimes,reading a modern novel can be tough ( Booker Prize winner The Luminaries runs to 832 pages!),especially if reading is not your strong suit.In fact,one in six people in the UK never pick up a book because they've experienced difficulties or are out of the habit of reading for pleasure.
    The Galaxy Quick Reads series are designed to introduce reluctant readers to bestselling short funny novels,which bring the joy of reading without demanding hours of concentrated time.They cover a range of subjects,from romance to comedy.
    Jojo Moyes's Paris For One is a romantic adventure in which 26-year-old Nell books a weekend away to Paris with her lazy,neglectful boyfriend.When he fails to turn up,she is alone in the city.That is,until she meets Fabien,who shows her the charms of the French capital--in more ways than one.
    Adele Geras's moving story Out In The Dark was set in World War I,in which young Rob came back from the battlefields.Determined to find the officer's widow to return the photo of her and their daughter that the captain kept with him,he traveled several thousand miles but never gave up.
    Dead Man Talking is a fantastic tale of Pat,who had a terrible fight with his best friend,Joe,ten years ago--but now hears that Joe is dead,and he must attend his funeral.But Joe is not going quietly that very night--he's lying in his coffin being very chatty indeed.

分析 本文是一篇說明文閱讀.作者通過這篇文章說明了世界讀書日鼓勵人們閱讀,然而有些書讓不善于閱讀的讀者望而卻步.文章向讀者推薦了銀河快速閱讀系列并列舉了其中幾本讀物,使讀者能更方便的閱讀.

解答 32.B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題,根據(jù)第一段It is a yearly event on 23rd April,organized by the United Nations Educational,Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO),to promote reading.可知世界圖書日的目的是鼓勵人們多看書,故選B.
33.A  細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)文章第二段Sometimes,reading a modern novel can be tough (Booker Prize winner The Luminaries ran to 832 pages!),especially if you lack confidence in your reading skills.可知不擅長閱讀的人讀這本長達(dá)832頁的The Luminaries會吃力,很可能不去讀它,故選A.
34.B  推理判斷題.根據(jù)文章第三段They cover a range of subjects,from romance to comedy.可知該系列讀物包括愛情故事、喜劇等各種故事,文章已經(jīng)列舉了愛情故事、感人的故事以及恐怖故事,因此如果文章還可以舉一個讀物的話,應(yīng)該是喜。蔬xB.
35.B  細(xì)節(jié)理解題. 根據(jù)文章第四段Jojo Moyes's Paris For One is a romantic adventure in which 26-year-old Nell books a weekend away to Paris with her lazy,neglectful boyfriend.When he fails to turn up,she is alone in the city.可知Paris For One講述的是Nell 和Fabein 在法國巴黎的浪漫故事,因此B正確;誤解分析:根據(jù)文章第二段The Luminariess是Booker Prize 的一個獲獎作品,而不是書中人物,故排除A項.Out In The Dark 講述的是一戰(zhàn)期間的故事,故排除C項.Dead Man Talking 講述的是Pat 的朋友葬禮上的恐怖事情,故排除D項;故選B.
