二、阅读理解（16分）（2018·诸暨模拟）
Earlier this year, American artist Shaheryar Malik was about to post a selfie（发自拍照） from the Brooklyn Bridge when he changed his idea. He wanted to share something different with his friends and the world.
Thinking social media（媒体） had become imperso-nal, Malik wanted to connect with people in a more meaningful way. So the Reading Project was born. He began leaving his books in famous New York City locations with a card on which were simple
9
instructions. The card was put inside each book: Take a book, read it and share your thoughts with me by e-mail.
The books themselves can be seen as works of art, and so is the process of sharing. Unlike many of the things we share today, Malik likes to keep the project off social media. So when he has left books behind, he prefers e-mail to be the only way that he learns what happens to them. The project has now taken him and his books all over the world, including London where we recently caught up with him.
“I hope people pick them up and I also hope they read them and let me know. And even if they don’t let me know, I just hope they read the books,” Malik said.
He has received thousands of messages from people in more than 30 countries around the world. For Malik, books are meaningless and lifeless if they gather dust（被尘封） on a shelf and are not read anymore. He decided to continue the project after a visit to Brazil. He wants to carry on with it in the next few years. He loves the connection the books give him to strangers across the world, something a Facebook post couldn’t achieve.
（ ）1. Why does Malik like others to connect him by e-mail?
A. Because he wants to keep the project secret.
B. Because it is a quick way to know what happens.
C. Because people want to know the process by e-mail.
D. Because he wants to keep away from social media.
（ ）2. What can we know about Malik’s project from the passage?
A. It requires readers to write thoughts on cards.
B. It is warmly welcomed by many people.
C. It was first started on Brooklyn Bridge.
9
D. It improves the relation between strangers.
（ ）3. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 refers to__________ .
A. the Reading Project
B. the visit to Brazil
C. the Facebook post
D. the connection between strangers
（ ）4. Which is the best title for this passage?
A. Read Some Books Offered by Malik
B. Change the Connection with Strangers
C. Share Books Rather than Selfies
D. Make Social Media Less Popular
