高考英语二轮复习大题优练4 阅读理解 议论文（2份打包，解析版+原卷版）

【例题】While the arts can’t stop the COVID-19 virus or the social unrest we see in the world today, they can give us insight into the choices we make when moving through crises and chaos. The arts invite everyone to think in new ways.

We often experience works of art as something that's pleasing to our senses without a full understanding of the creative effort. Great art often shows us contradictions and crises, and we can learn a great deal from their resolutions(解决). Through our understanding of art, we can gain a deeper understanding of how we might overcome our own challenges. In understanding extremes of contrast, we can see the beauty in art with themes that are not simply pleasing for their magnificent features or qualities.

Beethoven offers a wonderful example of moving artfully through crises and chaos. He composed his Symphony No. 9 as his hearing loss became more and more pronounced. The opening of the symphony seems to come out of nowhere, from near silence in the opening to a full expression of what many consider to be the joy of freedom and universal brotherhood with Schiller’s Ode to joy(欢乐颂). Beethoven appears to have created a work of art that not only freed him from his personal struggles, but one that also speaks to the joy of living together in peace and harmony.

Have a dialogue between the two opposing parts and you will find that they always start out fighting each other until we come to an appreciation of difference—a oneness of the two opposing forces. The arts offer many lessons that can help us gain the knowledge we need to move more confidently in today’ s competitive and uncertain environment. An openness to arts-based solutions will give you more control over your future.

1．What value does art have beyond pleasing people's senses?

A．It brings people inner peace.

B．It contributes to problem-solving.

C．It reduces the possibility of crises.

D．It deepens understanding of music.

2．What can we learn about Beethoven's Symphony No. 9?

A．It celebrates freedom and unity.

B．It aims to show crises and chaos.

C．It opens with Schiller's Ode to Joy.

D．It is unfinished due to his hearing loss.

3．What is the author's suggestion on dealing with conflicting forces?

A．Leaving things as they are.

B．Making a choice between them.

C．Separating them from each other.

D．Engaging them in a conversation.

4．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A．How COVID-19 changes art

B．Essentials of Symphony No. 9

C．Moving artfully through crises

D．Joy in the eyes of Beethoven

【答案】1.B   2.A   3.D   4.C

【解析】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要介绍了在疫情影响下的世界背景中，艺术为我们提供了应对危机和冲突的创造性思路。

1．细节理解题。根据文章第二段第二句Great art often shows us contradictions and crises, and we can learn a great deal from their resolutions.(伟大的艺术作品向我们展示冲突与危机，我们能从它们的解决中获得启示。)可知，理解艺术有助于现实中问题的解决。故选B。

2．细节理解题。根据文章第三段第三句The opening of the symphony seems to come out of nowhere, from near silence in the opening to a full expression of what many consider to be the joy of freedom and universal brotherhood with Schiller’s Ode to joy.(这首交响曲的开头似乎毫无来由，从几乎寂静的开头，许多人认为是对自由的喜悦和全世界兄弟般情谊的《欢乐颂》的充分表达。) 可知，贝多芬的第九交响曲歌颂的主题是自由与团结。故选A。

3．推理判断题。根据文章第四段第一句Have a dialogue between the two opposing parts and you will find that they always start out fighting each other until we come to an appreciation of difference—a oneness of the two opposing forces.(如果你让对立的这两个部分进行对话，你就会发现它们总是从一开始就互相争斗，直到我们对它们之间的差异有了一个正确的认识——这两个对立的力量是一体的。)可推断，作者对于处理冲突各方的建议是让各方进行对话、交流。故选D。

4．主旨大意题。根据第一段While the arts can' t stop the COVID-19 virus or the social unrest we see in the world today, they can give us insight into the choices we make when moving through crises and chaos. The arts invite everyone to think in new ways.（虽然艺术无法阻止COVID-19病毒或我们今天在世界上看到的社会动荡，但它们可以让我们了解我们在应对危机和混乱时所做的选择。艺术邀请每个人以新的方式思考。）结合全文内容可知，文章主要介绍的是理解艺术对于应对现实危机与冲突的启示。所以“Moving artfully through crises(艺术地通过危机)”作为文章标题最为合适。故选C。

（一）

I’ve recently found myself wondering if I could do without Google Maps. It is, I think, the only app on my phone I’d really miss were I to swap my smartphone for a “dumb” one that handles only calls and text messages.

Why am I thinking about this? It’s because every time I try to read a book, I end up picking up my phone instead. I keep interrupting my own train of thought in order to do something that I don’t consciously want to do.

This is not accidental. Developers have become even more unashamed in their attempts to keep us hooked on our smartphones. Some of them speak in the language of addiction and behavioural psychology, though most prefer the term “persuasive tech”. In itself, persuasive tech is not a new idea — an academic named BJ Fogg has been running classes from a “persuasive tech lab” at Stanford since the late 1990s. But as smartphone ownership has rocketed and social-media sites have been born, persuasive tech has vastly expanded its reach.

One company, Dopamine Labs — named for the chemical released in the reward center of the brain — offers a service to tech businesses wanting to “keep users engaged”. Founder Ramsay Brown tells me he wants people to understand that “their thoughts and feelings are on the table as things that can be controlled and designed”. He thinks there should be more conversation around the persuasive power of the technologies being used. “We believe everyone has a right to cognitive liberty, and to build the kind of mind they want to live in,” he says.

The poster child of the resistance movement against addictive apps is former Google “design ethicist” Tristan Harris. He thinks the power to change the system lies not with app developers but with the hardware providers. In 2014, Harris founded “Time Well Spent”, a group that campaigns for more moral design practices among developers.

Any tech business that relies on advertising profits is motivated to hold its users online for as long as possible, Harris says. This means apps are specifically designed to keep us in them. Apple, on the other hand, wants to sell phones but doesn’t have a profit stream so tightly connected to the amount of time its customers spend online. Harris hopes that companies like Apple could use their influence to encourage more morally designed apps.

While I wait for Apple to sort this out, I find myself longing for something called a “Light Phone”, a credit-card-sized handset that does absolutely nothing but make and receive calls. Price tag? $150. Seems expensive. But the company’s website is very persuasive.

5．According to the author, what makes us so glued to our smartphones？

A．People's inborn behaviours. B．App developers’ intention

C．User-friendly apps D．Hardware providers

6．What does Dopamine Labs's founder believe?

A．Tech businesses have gone too far in controlling users’ minds

B．Persuasive technologies are dangerous to users’ cognitive liberty.

C．The persuasive power of the technologies deserves more attention

D．Everyone can live the life they desire by using persuasive technologies.

7．Which of the following best explains the underlined words “The poster child” in paragraph 5?

A．The advertiser B．The advocate

C．The opponent D．The founder

8．What can be a suitable title for the text?

A．Do we have a right to cognitive liberty?

B．What have persuasive tech done to us?

C．Why a dumb phone is a smart move?

D．How smartphones shape our minds?

【答案】5．B 6．C 7．B 8．C

【解析】这是一篇议论文。作者主要讲述为什么要把智能手机换成傻瓜手机。

5．细节理解题。根据第三段第一句话“This is not accidental. Developers have become even more unashamed in their attempts to keep us hooked on our smartphones.”（发生这一切不是偶然的。为了让我们一刻都离不开我们的智能手机，开发人员的手段越来越肆无忌惮了。）可知，开发人员想尽一切办法让我们离不开手机，所以我们对手机上瘾是开发人员有意为之的。故选B。

6．细节理解题。根据题干Dopamine Labs's founder定位到第四段，再根据第四段倒数第二句“He thinks there should be more conversation around the persuasive power of the technologies being used.”（他认为，应该对说服技术的使用进行更广泛的讨论。）可知C选项表达了他的看法。故选C。

7．词句猜测题。根据本句后半部分is former Google “design ethicist” Tristan Harris.（是前谷歌“设计伦理学家”特里斯坦•哈里斯。）可知，主语应该指人，再结合横线后the resistance movement against addictive apps（抵制易上瘾应用运动）以及He thinks the power to change the system lies not with app developers but with the hardware providers. In 2014, Harris founded “Time Well Spent”, a group that campaigns for more moral design practices among developers.（他认为，改变目前这一体系的力量不掌握在应用开发人员手上，而掌握在硬件提供商手中。早在2014年，哈里斯就创建了一个名叫“光阴不虚度”组织，呼吁开发公司在应用开发过程中坚持设计伦理。）可知，哈里斯是抵制易上瘾应用运动的代表人物，所以The poster child应指该运动的支持者，代表人物；A. The advertiser 顾问；B. The advocate 支持者；C. The opponent 反对者；D. The founder 创始人。故选B。

8．主旨大意题。通读全文，第一段作者提出It is, I think, the only app on my phone I’d really miss were I to swap my smartphone for a “dumb” one that handles only calls and text messages.（如果我要将现在的智能手机换成只能打电话、发短信的“傻瓜”手机，它(谷歌地图)可能是我唯一真正想念的一个应用了）；第二段It’s because every time I try to read a book, I end up picking up my phone instead. I keep interrupting my own train of thought in order to do something that I don’t consciously want to do.（因为每当我想读会儿书时，我最终拿起的却是手机。为了做一些我不愿做的事，我不停地打断自己的思路。）进一步说明自己想换“傻瓜”手机的理由；第三、四、五段引用科学研究理论来说明手机正试图改变你大脑中的化学成份，让你花更多时间做你不想做的事情，以及技术界试图帮助我们重新获得自控力等理论依据，可知，本文主要讲述为什么要把智能手机换成傻瓜手机。故选C。

We have to make certain our limited money is well spent. But what should we spend our money on? A 20-year study conducted by Dr. Gilovich, a professor at Cormell University, reached a powerful and straightforward conclusion: don't spend your money on things.

The trouble with things is that the happiness they provide peters out. We get used to new possessions, and what once seemed exciting quickly becomes the norm. We keep raising the bar and always look for an even better one. Possessions, by their nature, cause comparisons. We buy a new car and are thrilled with it until a friend buys a better one—and there's always someone with a better one. Most of us usually assume that the happiness we get from buying something will last as long as the thing itself. It seems intuitive(直觉的) that investing in something we can see, hear, and touch on a permanent basis delivers the best value. But it's not the case at all.

Gilovich has found that experiences deliver more-lasting happiness than things. Experiences become a part of our identity. Everyone's experience is unique. We are not our possessions, but we are the accumulation of everything we've seen, the things we've done, and the places we've been to. “Our experiences are a bigger part of ourselves than our material goods,” said Gilovich. “You can really like your material stuff. You can even think that part of your identity is connected to those things, but they remain separate from you. In contrast, your experiences really are part of you. We are the sum total of our experiences.”

Besides, we don't compare experiences in the same way that we compare things. It's hard to quantify the relative value of any two experiences, which makes them that much more enjoyable. And expectation of an experience causes excitement and enjoyment, while expectation of obtaining a possession causes impatience. Experiences are enjoyable from the very first moments of planning, all the way through to the memories you keep forever. The temporary happiness achieved by buying things can be regarded as “puddles(水坑) of pleasure.” In other words, that kind of happiness evaporates(蒸发) quickly and leaves us wanting more. Things may last longer than experiences, but the memories that remain are what matter most.

9．The underlined phrase “peters out” can be replaced by_________________.

A．dies away B．is too little C．is not real D．costs too much

10．What does Gilovich think of experiences?

A．Experiences deliver less-lasting happiness than things.

B．Experiences can exist in our memory forever.

C．Our experiences take up all parts of ourselves.

D．Our experiences are what separate us from others.

11．What can be inferred from the passage ?

A．Experiences can be compared with each other

B．Expecting an experience increases our feeling of anxiety

C．People are more likely to be impatient when buying things

D．Spiritual wealth is the most valuable for us

12．Which is the main idea of the passage?

A．How can we gain happiness with money?

B．How can we make happiness last long?

C．Why should we spend money on experiences instead of things?

D．Why do experiences achieve permanent happiness than things?

【答案】9．A 10．D 11．D 12．C

【解析】本文是一篇议论文，作者论证说明了一个道理“为什么要把钱花在经历上，而不是事物上”。

9.词句猜测题。根据划线短语所在句后一句提到“We get used to new possessions, and what once seemed exciting quickly becomes the norm.”（我们习惯了新拥有的东西，曾经令人兴奋的东西很快就变成了常态。），即可推断出新拥有的东西，能够带来的快乐是短暂的 ，很快就会“消失”，peters out对应的同义词应是“die away”，故选A。

10.细节理解题。根据第二段提到“Gilovich has found that experiences deliver more-lasting happiness than things. Experiences become a part of our identity. Everyone's experience is unique.”（吉洛维奇发现，体验比物质更能带来持久的幸福。经历成为我们身份的一部分。每个人的经历都是独一无二的。）可知，吉洛维奇（Gilovich）认为经历是个人身份的象征，个人的经历形成与他人的区别，故选D。

11.推理判断题。根据第二段首句提到“The trouble with things is that the happiness they provide peters out.” （问题是，事物所带来的快乐会逐渐消失。）及第三段首句提到“Gilovich has found that experiences deliver more-lasting happiness than things.”（吉洛维奇发现，体验比物质更能带来持久的幸福。）及最后一段最后一句提到“Things may last longer than experiences, but the memories that remain are what matter most.”（事物可能比经历更持久，但留下的记忆才是最重要的。）可推断出，在作者的观点看来，事物可能留存的时间比经历更久，但是并不能带来长久的幸福，而经历留下的精神财富才是最重要的，故选D。

12.主旨大意题。通读全文内容可知，本文主要讲述了事物能够带来的幸福是短暂，经历留下来的精神财富才是最重要的；再根据第一段首句，引出文章主题“We have to make certain our limited money is well spent. But what should we spend our money on?”（我们必须确保有限的钱花得值。但是我们应该把钱花在什么地方呢），所以本文主要想表达的主题是“为什么要把钱花在经历上，而不是事物上”，故选C。

It's common knowledge that the woman in Leonardo da Vinci's most famous painting seems to look back at observers, following them with her eyes no matter where they stand in the room. But this common knowledge turns out wrong.

A new study finds that the woman in the painting is actually looking out at an angle that’s 15. 4 degrees off to the observer's right-well outside of the range that people normally believe when they think someone is looking right at them. In other words, said the study author, Horstmann,“She’s not looking at you.” This is somewhat ironic, because the entire phenomenon of a person's gaze(凝视) in a photograph or painting seeming to follow the viewer is called the "Mona Lisa effect". That effect is absolutely real, Horstmann said. If a person is illustrated or photographed looking straight ahead, even people viewing the portrait from an angle will feel they are being looked at. As long as the angle of the person's gaze is no more than about 5 degrees off to either side, the Mona Lisa effect occurs.

Horstmann and his co-author were studying this effect for its application in the creation of artificial-intelligence avatars (虚拟头像) when Horstmann took a long look at the “Mona Lisa” and realized she wasn't looking at him. To make sure it wasn't just him, the researchers asked 24 people to view images of the “Mona Lisa" on a computer screen. They set a ruler between the viewer and the screen and asked the participants to note which number on the ruler intersected Mona Lisa’s gaze. To calculate the angle of Mona Lisa’s gaze as she looked at the viewer, they moved the ruler farther from or closer to the screen during the study. Consistently, the researchers found, participants judged that the woman in the “Mona Lisa” portrait was not looking straight at them, but slightly off to their right.

So why do people repeat the belief that her eyes seem to follow the viewer? Horstmann isn’t sure. It’s possible, he said, that people have the desire to be looked at, so they think the woman is looking straight at them. Or maybe the people who first coined the term “Mona Lisa effect” just thought it was a cool name.

13．What is generally believed about the woman in the painting “Mona Lisa”?

A．She attracts the viewers to look back.

B．She seems mysterious because of her eyes.

C．She fixes her eyes on the back of the viewers.

D．She looks at the viewers wherever they stand.

14．What gaze range in a painting will cause the Mona Lisa effect?

A． B．

C． D．

15．Why was the experiment involving 24 people conducted?

A．To confirm Horstmann's belief.

B．To create artificial-intelligence avatars.

C．To calculate the angle of Mona Lisa’s gaze.

D．To explain how the Mona Lisa effect can be applied.

16．What can we learn from the text?

A．Horstmann thinks it’s cool to coin the term "Mona Lisa effect”

B．The Mona Lisa effect contributes to the creation of artificial intelligence.

C．Feeling being gazed at by Mona Lisa may be caused by the desire for attention

D．The position of the ruler in the experiment will influence the viewers' judgment

【答案】13.D  14.B  15.A  16.C

【解析】这是一篇议论文。文章通过解析达芬奇的名画蒙娜丽莎给人的误解，来进一步解释了人们注视对方时的角度影响着被注视人的感觉。

13．细节理解题。根据文章第一段，“It's common knowledge that the woman in Leonardo da Vinci's most famous painting seems to look back at observers, following them with her eyes no matter where they stand in the room.”（人们通常认为，达芬奇名画蒙娜丽莎似乎在回视着观察者，无论他们站在屋里的什么地方），可知，蒙娜丽莎给人的感觉是，人们在注视她的同时，她也在看着人们。故选D。

14．细节理解题。根据文章“As long as the angle of the person’s gaze is no more than about 5 degrees off to either side, the Mona Lisa effect occurs.”（只要这个人凝视的视角在任何两边不超过5度，那么蒙娜丽莎的效应就会发生），可知，左右5度的范围是蒙娜丽莎效应发生的视角条件，B图符合句意。故选B。

15．推理判断题。根据文章第三段“To make sure it wasn't just him, the researchers asked 24 people to view images of the “Mona Lisa” on a computer screen.”（为了确认不只是他有这样的感觉，他邀请了24个人去看电脑屏幕上的蒙娜丽莎图像），可知，他用24个人去做实验，只是为了验证自己的想法。故选A。

16．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段，“It’s possible, he said, that people have the desire to be looked at, so they think the woman is looking straight at them.”（他说，很可能是人们有被注视的渴望，所以他们认为这个女人在看着他们），可知，大多数人觉得蒙娜丽莎看着自己，其实都是自己的错觉。故选C。

Getting stuck with gifts we do not want is no small problem. In a survey across 14 countries in Europe, meanwhile, 1 in 7 said they were unhappy with what they received for Christmas, yet more than half simply kept the gifts.

Why can’t more gifts be passed along to people who appreciate them? People in a study published in the Journal of Consumer Behaviour, for instance, used such words as guilty, lazy, thoughtless and disrespectful in describing their feelings about regifting. Popular culture casts it as taboo (禁忌), as well.

However, our research with Francis J. Flynn, a professor of organizational behavior at Stanford University’s Graduate School of Business, suggests the shame associated with regifting is largely unwarranted. Indeed, our research consistently tells us that people overestimate the negative consequences.

We asked people to imagine themselves as a “giver,” who gives someone a gift card and later learned it had been regifted. The general attitude of the original givers was: “It’s your gift, do what you want with it.” Next, we asked givers to compare regifting a supposed wristwatch with throwing it in the trash. For the original givers, regifting the watch was a much less offensive act than trashing it.

Finally, we invited to our lab at Stanford people who had recently received presents, and divided the people into two groups. When we gave the first group an opportunity to regift that present, 9% did so. When we gave the second group the same opportunity, we added that it was “National Regifting Day”. It wasn't really National Regifting Day, but the group didn’t know that: 30% of them agreed to regift.

Everyone has received unwanted gifts in their lives, and generally we will receive more in the future. Our research offers a simple solution to that problem. This holiday season, consider regifting, and encourage receivers of your gifts to do the same if what you gave them isn't quite what they hoped for.

17．Why does the author mention the study in Journal of Consumer Behaviour?

A．To highlight the importance of regifting.

B．To show people’s attitudes to regifting.

C．To challenge the rightness of regifting.

D．To express his concern for regifting.

18．What is the meaning of the underlined word “unwarranted”?

A．Unnecessary. B．Uncertain.

C．Unimportant. D．Unconscious.

19．What do we know about the research?

A．9% simply kept unwanted gifts.

B．30% didn’t know National Regifting Day.

C．Givers generally didn’t mind regifting.

D．Receivers tended to trash unwanted gifts.

20．What can we conclude from the text?

A．Regifting is offensive. B．Regifting is forbidden.

C．Regifting is popular. D．Regifting is acceptable.

【答案】17．B 18．A 19．C 20．D

【解析】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了人们对转送礼物的看法和态度以及对此进行的调查研究。

17．推理判断题。根据第二段的People in a study published in the Journal of Consumer Behaviour, for instance, used such words as guilty, lazy, thoughtless and disrespectful in describing their feelings about regifting.可知，在《消费者行为杂志》上发表的一项研究中，人们用罪恶，懒惰，轻率和无礼的词语来形容他们对转送礼物的感觉。从而推断出，作者在《消费者行为杂志》中提到该研究是想表明人们对转送礼物的态度。故选B。

18．词义猜测题。根据第二段的Popular culture casts it as taboo (禁忌), as well.可知，大多数人认为把得到的礼物转送出是一个禁忌，也就是不应该送出去。而第三段就使用了however这个词进行了转折，然而没那么多人觉得这是禁忌，表示这种情况是被高估了的。再根据第三段Indeed, our research consistently tells us that people overestimate the negative consequences.可知，研究表明人们高估了与转送礼物相关的耻辱的负面后果。可以猜测出上一句意思是：但是，与转送礼物相关的耻辱在很大程度上是没有必要的。因为我们高估了它。所以可以猜出unwarranted的意思是“不必要的”。故选A。

19．细节理解题。根据第四段的The general attitude of the original givers was: “It’s your gift, do what you want with it. “可知，原始送礼者的总体态度是：“这是您的礼物，随您便吧。”由此可知，一般来说，送礼者都不介意把礼物给别人。故选C。

20．推理判断题。根据最后一段的This holiday season, consider regifting, and encourage receivers of your gifts to do the same if what you gave them isn't quite what they hoped for.鼓励收到你的礼物的人可以将不喜欢的礼物转送给别人。由此可知，这是在鼓励人们转送礼物，即转送礼物是可以接受的。故选D。

I have a special place in my heart for libraries. I have for as long as I can remember. I was always an enthusiastic reader, sometimes reading up to three books a day as a child. Stories were like air to me and while other kids played ball or went to parties, I lived out adventures through the books I checked out from the library.

My first job was working at the Ukiah Library when I was 16 years old .It was a dream job and I did everything from shelving books to reading to the children for story time.

As I grew older and became a mother, the library took on a new place and an added meaning in my life. I had several children and books were our main source(来源) of entertainment. It was a big deal for us to load up and go to the local library, where my kids could pick out books to read or books they wanted me to read to them.

I always read ,using different voices ,as though I were acting out the stories with my voice and they loved it !It was a special time to bond with my children and it filled them with the wonderment of books .

Now, I see my children taking their children to the library and I love that the excitement of going to the library lives on form generation to generation.

As a novelist, I’ve found a new relationship with libraries. I encourage readers to go to their local library when they can’t afford to purchase a book. I see libraries as a safe haven(避风港) for readers and writers, a bridge that helps put together a reader with a book. Libraries, in their own way, help fight book piracy(盗版行为) and 1 think all writers should support libraries in a significant way when they can. Encourage readers to use the library. Share library announcements on your social media. Frequent them and talk about them when you can.

21. Which word best describes the author’s relationship with books as a child?

A. Cooperative. B. Uneasy. C. Inseparable. D. Casual.

22. What does the underlined phrase “an added meaning” in paragraph 3 refer to?

A. Pleasure from working in the library.

B. Joy of reading passed on in the family.

C. Wonderment from acting out the stories.

D. A closer bond developed with the readers.

23. What does the author call on other writers to do?

A. Sponsor book fairs. B. Write for social media.

C. Support libraries. D. Purchase her novels.

24. Which can be a suitable title for the text?

A. Reading: A Source of Knowledge

B. My Idea about writing

C. Library: A Haven for the Young

D. My Love of the Library

【答案】21. C    22. B    23. C    24. D

【解析】本文是夹叙夹议文。文章讲述了作者是一个热情的读者，孩提时热衷读书，第一份工作在图书馆。有了孩子以后，一家人去图书馆读书，阅读的习惯代代传承下去。作为小说家，作者呼吁其他作家支持图书馆，宣传图书馆。

21.推理判断题。根据第一段的 I was always an enthusiastic reader，sometimes reading up to three books a day as a child. Stories were like air to me and while other kids played ball or went to parties. I lived out adventures through the books I checked out from the library.(我一直是一个热情的读者，孩提时，有时候每天读多达三本书。故事对我来说就像空气，而其他孩子则打球或参加聚会。我通过从图书馆借阅来的书籍经历冒险)可推断，作者小时候与书是密不可分的。故选C。

22.词句猜测题。根据上文As I grew older and became a mother可知，我长大了成了一位母亲，结合下文I had several children and books were our main source (来源) of entertainment. It was a big deal for us to load up and go to the local library, where my kids could pick out books to read or books they wanted me to read to them(我有几个孩子，书是我们娱乐的主要来源。对于我们来说，坐上车去当地的图书馆是件大事，在那里我的孩子们可以挑选要阅读的书或者想让我给他们读的书)可推断，作者成了母亲以后，带着孩子去图书馆，孩子挑选书籍来阅读，或者作者读给他们听，因此可知图书馆在作者的生活中又增添了新的意义，阅读的乐趣在家庭中代代相传”。故选B。

23.细节理解题。根据最后一段的I think all writers should support libraries in a significant way when they can. Encourage readers to use the library. Share library announcements on your social media. Frequent them and talk about them when you can.( 我认为所有的作家都应该在他们可以的时候以有意义的方式支持图书馆。鼓励读者使用图书馆。在社交媒体上分享图书馆公告。可以的时候常去图书馆，谈论图书馆)可推断，作者呼吁其他的作家们支持图书馆。故选C。

24.主旨大意题。纵观全文可知，文章讲述了作者是一名热情地读者，孩提时喜欢阅读，工作在图书馆。有了孩子以后，一家人去图书馆读书，阅读的习惯代代传承下去，作为小说家，作者呼吁其他作家支持图书馆，宣传图书馆。因此推断全文围绕“作者对图书馆的爱”展开讲述。故D项“我对图书馆的爱”为最佳标题。故选D。
