Ⅱ.阅读理解Every day we are exposed to images,videos,music and news.In this age of visual and aural hyper-stimulation (过度刺激),the medium of radio is making a great comeback.“We’re at the beginning of a golden age of audio,”said US-based podcaster Alex Blumberg in an article in The Sydney Morning Herald.In the last month alone,15 percent of US adults listened to a radio podcast (播客).The term “podcast” was invented in 2004,but the trend only started gaining popularity in recent years.With the sharp increase in consumer demand for smartphones and tablets,podcast sales have jumped.The appeal of the podcast partly lies in its various platform deliveries andon-demand functions.You can listen during those extra minutes of the day when you’re walking to the shops,waiting in a queue or riding the subway.Similar to television shows,podcasts are generally free to download and most offer new content every week.Donna Jackson,22,media graduate of the University of Sydney,listens to podcasts two or three times a week,via iTunes.“I listen while I’m wandering around the house doing something else.It makes completing a boring task much more enjoyable.And it’s an easy way of keeping in touch with what’s going on in the rest of the world,”she said,“I mainly listen to BBC podcasts,but recently I’ve also been listeningto This American Life and Serial.They have a special skill to really draw you in.”Unlike television and music,this kind of audio has the potential to create a deep impression on readers.Blumberg says this owes to the podcast’s ability to create close relationship and emotional connection.The University of Sydney undergraduate Hazel Proust,majoring in social work and arts,agrees.“When you’re listening,itfeels as if the voice of the podcast’s storyteller is talking directly to you. It’s comforting,”said Proust.It seems the age-old tradition of storytelling is very much alive and well.1.From the first two paragraphs,we can learn that .A.the medium of radio is disappearingB.Americans love listening to the radioC.smartphones sell well because of podcastsD.more people are interested in podcasts today2.The writer mentions Donna Jackson mainly to .A.tell how young people entertain themselvesB.explain why young people like podcastsC.introduce what programs podcasts are presentingD.show how popular podcasts are3.According to the passage,we can learn that .A.more people are increasingly interested in visual and aural hyper-stimulationB.television has the potential to create a deep impression on readersC.the popularity of podcasts involves the sharp increase in smartphones and tabletsD.15 percent of US teenagers like listening to radio podcast4.What is probably the best title of the passage?A.Opinions of PodcastsB.Popularity of Radio PodcastsC.Features of RadioD.Technology of Podcasts语篇解读:本文介绍了播客的强势回归。
