英語(yǔ)六級(jí)閱讀模擬試題及答案

　　There is a certain inevitability that ebook saleshave now overtaken paperback sales on Amazon'sUS site. Amazon's Kindle 2 is so light and so cheapthat it's easy to see why people have rushed to buyit. Though I'm still not keen on the design of the Kindle, it is a vast improvement on itspredecessor and certainly tolerable. Beyond the device itself, Amazon has done a great jobof rolling out Kindle apps, ensuring that people like me-who have an iPad but not a Kindle-canstill join in the fun. Once you're into the Kindle ecosystem, Amazon locks you in tightly-just asApple does with its iTunes/ iPod ecosystem. It's so easy to buy from Amazon's store and thebooks are so cheap that it's not worth the effort of going elsewhere.

　　While I remain opposed to Amazon's DRM (數(shù)字版權(quán)管理)-indeed, I'm opposed to DRM onany ebooks-I have to admit that the implementation is so smooth that most Kindle userswon'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 seemore and more readers move away from printed books and pick up ebooks instead. But I don'tthink that will mean the death of the printed book.

　　There are some who prefer printed books. They like having shelves filled with books they'veread and books they plan to read; they like the feel of the book in their hands and the differentweights and typefaces and layouts of different titles. In other words, they like the physical formof the book almost as much as the words it contains.

　　I can sympathise with those people. As I wrote earlier this week, my ideal situation would befor publishers to bundle ebooks with printed ones-in much the same way that film studiosbtmdie DVDs with digital copies of films. There's no reason to think that lovers of printed bookswill change their minds. There will undoubtedly be fewer of them as time goes by because morepeople will grow up with ebooks and spend little time with printed ones. However, just as thereare people who love vinyl records(黑膠唱片), even if they were born well into the CD era, therewill still be a dedicated minority who love physical books.

　　Since there are fewer of these people, that will mean fewer bookshops and higher prices forprinted books but I don't think the picture is entirely bleak. There is scope for smaller printruns of lavishly designed printed books and bookshops aimed at book lovers, rather than theStieg Larsson-reading masses. With mainstream readers out of the printed book market, booklovers might even find they get a better experience.

　　參考答案

　　56.C)。本題考查對(duì)第一段的理解。定位句指出“盡管我還是對(duì)Kindle的設(shè)計(jì)提不起興趣. 但較之第一代確實(shí)有了相當(dāng)大的改進(jìn)，還是非常不錯(cuò)的”，即Kindle 2在設(shè)計(jì)上要優(yōu)于Kindle l，故答案為 C)。

　　57.c)。本題考查作者對(duì)亞馬遜的數(shù)字版權(quán)管理持反對(duì)態(tài)度的原因。定位句提到“我不得不承認(rèn)安裝過(guò)程實(shí)在是太便捷了，以至于大多數(shù)Kindle用戶(hù)并不介意電子書(shū)無(wú)法安裝到其他設(shè)備上”，由此可知，電子書(shū)一旦安裝后，不可以在其他設(shè)備上再次使用，C)中的transfer，equipments分別對(duì)應(yīng) 定位句中的move和devices，故為答案。

　　58.B)。本題考查電子書(shū)的發(fā)展趨勢(shì)。定位句提到，電子書(shū)的發(fā)展趨勢(shì)正在無(wú)限接近頂峰。換言之，電子書(shū)的發(fā)展趨勢(shì)很快就會(huì)接近頂峰，故B)為答案。

　　59.A)。本題考查作者認(rèn)為電子書(shū)不會(huì)造成紙質(zhì)書(shū)籍消亡的原因。定位句提到“然而，正如有些生活在CD時(shí)代卻依然熱愛(ài)黑膠唱片的人一樣，會(huì)有少數(shù)人仍然堅(jiān)定地愛(ài)著紙質(zhì)書(shū)”，由此可知，仍有一部分人會(huì)堅(jiān)持購(gòu)買(mǎi)紙質(zhì)書(shū)籍，故答案為A)。

　　60.C)。本題考查紙質(zhì)書(shū)的發(fā)展趨勢(shì)。由定位句可知，面向大眾群體的斯泰格拉爾森式閱讀將被淘汰，取而代之的是針對(duì)愛(ài)書(shū)者而設(shè)的裝幀精美、數(shù)量不多的印刷本和書(shū)店。C)中的small quantity和better quality分別對(duì)應(yīng)原文的smaller print，lavishly designed，故為答案。

　　59. Why does the author believe that the surging sales of ebooks won't mean the death ofthe printed book?

　　A.Because a minority will stick to their love of printed books.

　　B.Because the majority of book lovers won't change their minds.

　　C.Because people always hold nostalgic feelings towards printed books.

　　D.Because people will return to the printed books as time goes by.

　　60. According to the author, which of the following is TRUE about the future of printedbooks?

　　A.They will be bundled with ebooks.
