第2题：
There is a certain inevitability that ebook sales have now overtaken paperback sales on Amazon’s US site.Amazon’s
Kindle 2 is so light and so cheap that it’s easy to see why people have rushed to buy it.Though I’m still not keen on the design of the Kindle,it is a vast improvement on its predecessor and certainly tolerable.Beyond the device itself,Amazon has done a great job of rolling out Kindle apps,ensuring that people like me-who have an iPad but not a Kindle can still join in the fun.
Once you’re into the Kindle ecosystem,Amazon locks you in tightly-just as Apple does with its iTunes/iPod ecosystem.It’s so easy to buy from Amazon’s store and the books are so cheap that it’s not worth the effort of going elsewhere.
While I remain opposed to Amazon’s DRM(数字版权管理)-indeed,I’m opposed to DRM on any ebooks-I have to admit
that the implementation is so smooth that most Kindle users won’t care at all that their ebooks can’t be moved to other
devices.
The ebook trend is nowhere near peaking.Over the next five years we can expect to see more and more readers move away from printed books and pick up ebooks instead.But I don’t think that will mean the death of the printed book.
There are some who prefer printed books.They like having shelves filled with books they’ve read and books they plan to
read;they like the feel of the book in their hands and the different weights and typefaces and layouts of different titles.In other words,they like the physical form of the book almost as much as the words it contains.
I can sympathize with those people.As I wrote earlier this week,my ideal situation would be for publishers to bundle
e-books with printed ones-in much the same way that film studio DVDs with digital copies of films.There’s no reason to think
that lovers of printed books will change their minds.There will undoubtedly be fewer of them as time goes by because more
people will grow up with ebooks and spend little time with printed ones.However,just as there are people who love vinyl
records(黑胶唱片),even if they were born well into the CD era,there will still be a dedicated minority who love physical books.
Since there are fewer of these people,that will mean fewer bookshops and higher prices for printed books but I don’t think the picture is entirely bleak.There is scope for smaller print runs of lavishly designed printed books and bookshops aimed at
book lovers,rather than the Stieg Larsson-reading masses.With mainstream readers out of the printed book market,
booklovers might even find they get a better experience.
According to the passage,the reason why the author opposes to Amazon’s DRM is that______.《》（）A.ebooks can only be purchased on Amazon.com
B.Kindle books are not compatible with other electronic reading devices
C.once implemented,ebooks can’t be transferred to other equipments
D.ebooks installed on Kindle 2 can’t be edited freely答案：C解析：本题考查细节。
由题干中的Amazon's DRM定位到第二段第一句提到“我不得不承认安装过程实在是太便捷了，以至于大多数Kindle用户并不介意电子书无法安装到其他设备上”，由此可知电子书一旦安装后，不可以在其他设备上再次使用，C 中的transfer，equipments分别对应定位句中的move和devices，综上，C选项正确。
A选项，“电子书只能在亚马逊网站上购买”原文并未提及，故排除。
B选项，“Kindle电子书与其他电子阅读设备不兼容”是对定位句的曲解，故排除。
D选项，“在Kindle 2上安装的电子书不能随意编辑” 原文并未提及，故排除。
故正确选项为C。 -

第5题：
问答题Directions:In this section, there is one passage followed by a summary. Read the passage carefully and complete the summary below by choosing a maximum of three words from the passage to fill in the spaces 76 - 80. Remember to write the answers on the Answer Sheet. Questions 1- 5 are based on the following passage. Lack of culture, or rather an excess of the wrong sort of culture, is often considered to be synonymous with disadvantage. Most commonly associated with low cultural standards are low levels of reading, and some thirteen per cent of all twenty-three-year-olds feel they have trouble with reading and writing. One way of compensating such disadvantaged young people is thought to be to provide them with the culture they lack: in particular, high quality reading material. Whereas forty to fifty per cent of young people aged sixteen to twenty rarely read a book, the majority appear to read comics. In 1991 sales of Viz, a UK comic exceeded one million copies per issue, making it the fourth best-selling periodical in Britain. The reading of comics, however, is not restricted to young people: by 1992 it was estimated that two out of three men aged eighteen to fifty-three read Viz. The number of imitators of this comic has spawned, including Zit, Gas, BrainDamageand Swiz,indicates the extent of the influence it wields. The reading of comics was traditionally regarded by the educational establishment with considerable suspicion. Whereas the received arts were always assumed to exert an improving or civilizing influence, comics were thought to “rot children’s brains”, to lower educational standards and to threaten morality. They were, and are, assumed to be an inferior cultural form; their readers assumed to come from the lower social classes, to be low educational attainers and to be easily led astray. Over the past decade, perceptions of comics have shifted. Since the 1970s, the comic format has been commonly used to represent the interests of various disenfranchises groups—community groups, the unemployed, welfare recipients of—who became more conscious of a climate conditioned by other contemporary movements such as civil rights, consumerism, self-help and de-institutionalization. As cultural signifiers, comics have become the subject matter of academic courses in cultural and media studies. Indeed, young people’s cultural activities, grounded in the commercial rather than the subsidized sector, are beginning to merit the attention of the arts establishment. Summary: Low cultural standards，such as 1 of reading，a difficulty experienced by many young adults, are often associated with disadvantage. While around half of sixteen to twenty-year-olds rarely read books，most will read comics. Although many comics in Britain are 2 and have lots of readers，the educational establishment sill considers them to be an 3 appealing only to the lower levels of society. However, attitudes are beginning to change as the format has been adopted to 4 of disenfranchised groups. Certain comics have been included in the courses of 5 studies. Young people’s cultural activities are beginning to attract the attention of the arts establishment.正确答案：
1.low levels 第一段中间提到Most commonly associated with ... they have trouble with reading and writing.与低文化标准相关联的往往是较低的阅读水平,在年龄为23岁的年轻人中有大约13%的人感觉他们在读写方面有困难。
2.best-selling periodicals 摘要中空格的后半句提到and have lots of readers,由此可知空格处应该填与其意思相同的词。文章的第二段指出漫画的销售量很好。所以应该填best-selling periodicals。
3.inferior cultural form 文章的第三段提到The reading of comics was traditionally regarded by the educational establishment with considerable suspicion...They were, and are, assumed to be an inferior cultural form,教育家对人们读漫画书持怀疑态度,漫画书被认为是一种次等的表现文化的形式,漫画书腐蚀人们的心灵,漫画书的阅读者被人们认为来自于较低的社会阶层。由此可知摘要中应该填inferior cultural form。
4.represent the interests 本题答案在文章最后指出“漫画书代表了许多无选举权的团体的利益”,即represent the interests。
5.cultural and media 文章最后一段倒数第二句指出comics have become the subject matter of academic courses in cultural and media studies.漫画已经成为文化和媒体领域中的一门重要课程。故答案为cultural and media。解析： 暂无解析 -

第三篇
People have been painting pictures for at least 30,000 years.The earliest pictures were painted by people who hunted animals.They used to paint pictures of the animals they wanted to catch and kill.Pictures of this kind have been found on the walls of caves in France and Spain.No one knows why they were painted there.Perhaps the painters thought that their pictures would help them to catch these animals.Or perhaps human beings have always wanted to tell stories in pictures.
About 5,000 years ago,the Egyptians and other people in the Near East began to use pictures as kind of writing. They drew simple pictures or signs to represent things and ideas,and also to represent the sounds of their language.The signs there people used became a kind of alphabet.
The Egyptians used to record information and to tell stories by putting picture-writing and pictures together. When an important person died,scenes and stories from his life were painted and carved on the walls of the place where he was buried.Some of these pictures are like modern comic strip stones.It has been said that Egypt is the home of the comic strip.But for Egyptians,pictures still had magic power. So they did not try to make their way of writing simple.The ordinary people could not understand it.
By the year 1000 BC,people who lived in the area around the Mediterranean Sea had developed a simpler system of writing. The signs they used were very easy to write,and there were fewer of them than in the Egyptian system.This was because each sign,or letter,represented only one sound in their language.The Greeks developed this system and formed the letters of the Greek alphabet.The Romans copied the idea and the Roman alphebet is now used all over the world.
These days,we can write down a story,or record information,without using pictures.But we still need pictures of all kinds:drawing,photographs,signs and diagrams.We find them everywhere:in books and newspapers,in the street,and on the walls of the places where we live and work.Pictures help us to understand and remember things more easily,and they can make a story much more interesting.Pictures of animals were painted on the walls of caves in France and Spain because______.
A:the hunters wanted to see the pictures
B:the painters were animal lovers
C:the painters wanted to show imagination
D:the pictures were thought to be helpful答案：D解析：本题是细节考查题。原文是“无人知晓为何会画在那里，或许画画的人认为这些图能帮他们捉住这些动物，或者人类总是通过图画来叙述故事”。选项A“猎人想看到这些图画”；选项B“画图的人喜爱动物”；选项C“画图的人想展现自己的想象力”；选项D“图画被认为是有用的”。根据文章第一段可知，答案为D。
本题是细节考查题。原文是“他们画出简单的图或符号来代表事物和思想，以及他们所用语言的发音。这些人用的符号就成为了字母表”。选项A“物品”；选项B “字母表，'；选项C“思想”；选项D“所用语言的发音”。由此可知答案为B。
本题是细节考查题。题目问：希腊字母表比埃及的简单，以下哪个不是其原因？选项A“希腊字母更易写”；选项B“希腊字母数量更少”；选项C“希腊字母更好发音”, 这一点文章未提及；选项D“每个符号仅代表一个发音”。由此可知答案为C。
本题是细节考查题。选项A“埃及人用的符号后来变成一种字母表”，选项B“埃及人喜欢画漫画故事”；选项C"罗马字母表由埃及的演变而来”；选项D“希腊人模仿埃及人的书写系统”。综观全文可知，答案为A。
本题是综合阅读能力考查题。选项A“应该让人容易理解”；选项B“应该有趣”；选项C“在生活中很有用”；选项D“从生活中消失了”。由本文最后一段可知，答案为C。 -

第21题：
问答题Practice 2 A good book is often the best urn of a life enshrining the best that life could think out; for the world of a man’s life is, for the most part, but the world of his thoughts. Thus the best books are treasuries of good words, the golden thoughts, which, remembered and cherished, become our constant companions and comforters. “They are never alone,” said Sir Philip Sidney, “that are accompanied by noble thoughts.” The good and true thought may in times of temptation be as an angel of mercy purifying and guarding the soul. It also enshrines the germs of action, for good words almost always inspire to good works. Books possess an essence of immortality. They are by far the most lasting products of human effort. Temples and statues decay, but books survive. Time is of no account with great thoughts, which are as fresh today as when they first passed through their author’s minds, ages ago. What was then said and thought still speaks to us as vividly as ever from the printed page. The only effect of time has been to sift out the bad products; for nothing in literature can long survive but what is really good. Books introduce us into the best society; they bring us into the presence of the greatest minds that have ever lived. We hear what they said and did; we see them as if they were really alive; we sympathize with them, enjoy with them, grieve with them; their experience becomes ours, and we feel as if we were in a measure actors with them in the scenes which they describe. The great and good do not die even in this world. Embalmed in books, their spirits walk abroad. The book is a living voice. It is an intellect to which one still listens. Hence we ever remain under the influence of the great men of old.正确答案： 参考译文
好书常如最精美的宝器,珍藏着人的一生思想的精华。人生的境界,主要就在于他思想的境界。所以,最好的书是金玉良言的宝库,若将其中的崇高思想铭记于心,就成为我们忠实的伴侣和永恒的慰籍。菲利普·悉尼爵士说得好:“有高尚思想与之做伴的人永不孤独。”
当我们面临诱惑的时候,优美纯真的思想会像仁慈的天使一样纯洁,并保卫我们的灵魂。优美纯真的思想也蕴育着行动的胚芽,因为金玉良言几乎总会启发善行。
书籍具有不朽的本质,是人类勤奋努力的最为持久的产物。寺庙会倒坍,神像会朽烂,而书却经久长存。对于伟大的思想来说,时间是无关重要的。多少年代前初次闪现在作者脑海里的伟大思想今天依然清新如故。他们当时的言论和思想刊于书页,如今依然那么生动感人。时间惟一的作用是淘汰不好的作品,因为只有真正的佳作才能经世长存。
书籍引导我们与最优秀的人物为伍,使我们置身历代伟人巨匠之间,如闻其声,如观其行,如见其人。同他们情感交融,悲喜与共。他们的感受成为我们自己的感受,我们觉得有点像是在作者所描绘的人生舞台上跟他们一起演出了。
即使在人世间,伟大杰出的人物,也是永生不灭的,他们的精神载入书册,传之四海。书是人们至今仍在聆听的智慧之声,永远充满着活力。所以,我们永远都是在受着历代伟人的影响。解析： 暂无解析 -
