题组层级快练3 Unit 3 Travel journal

Ⅰ. 阅读理解

For years, Hamzeh AlMaaytah supported a community of book lovers in Jordan, keeping his bookstore in Amman's old center open around the clock, encouraging customers to stay for a long time over rare treasures and often allowing them to set the price for a purchase.

His supporters recently had a chance to repay him when the local landmark was threatened with closure, following a sudden illness that put him out of action for several months as bills were piling up. By April, 330 people from more than 20 countries had contributed $18,000 in a crowd-funding (众筹) campaign launched by two friends.

The money allows AlMaaytah to repair his small space and expand to a storefront next to it, where he hopes to set up a literary salon, a display of rare books and a reading corner. Up to now, much of the store's activity has taken place outdoors, with books laid out under a sheet on the sidewalk.

Despite the recent financial scare, the 36-year-old shopkeeper is sticking to his “pay as you please” busines s model, applied to most books. Customers can also pay a small amount of fee to borrow books or read rare editions in the store.

“It's risky. But it's also an adventure,” said AlMaaytah. “You would be surprised what putting your trust in people can do. It doesn't just make more room for generosity. They also want to come back for more. More books, more conversations.”

AlMaaytah recently renamed his branch“Mahall al-Maa,” loosely translated as “Source of Water”, to reflect his belief that books—like water—are a necessity and should be accessible to all.

Such access has been a problem in Jordan, which lacks government-funded community libraries, forcing readers to buy expensive books or go to university libraries, said Sara Qudah, the culture editor of the Al-Rai newspaper.

1. What did AlMaaytah advise people to do according to Paragraph 1?

A. To work hard for good pay.

B. To keep valuable jewelry.

C. To enjoy some rare books.

D. To go to look for treasures.

2. What did people do to repay AlMaaytah?

A. People donated some money to him.

B. People paid almost all his bills.

C. People decorated his bookstore for him.

D. People launched crowd-funding campaigns.

3. Why has much of the store's activity been held outdoors?

A. Because there is a reading corner outdoors.

B. Because all the books are put outdoors now.

C. Because the store tries to attract customers.

D. Because the store is small and being repaired.

4. What's AlMaaytah's attitude to books?

A. People want to be put your trust in wherever they live.

B. Books are a necessity and should be accessible to all.

C. More room should be made for people to show generosity.

D. People want to read more books and make more conversations.

1. 答案 C

解析细节理解题。根据第一段可知阿勒迈塔在约旦建立了一个读书爱好者的圈子,他在安曼老城中心经营着一家24小时营业的书店。他鼓励顾客在稀有书籍前驻足阅读。故可知阿勒迈塔建议人们读稀有书籍,C项正确。

2. 答案 A
