Wildlife Protection*閱讀理解。We know a lot about the advantages and disadvantages of reading a hardcopy book vs. reading electronically. The problem is, many of us refuse to listen.Dont get me wrong: Digital reading has some real advantages. Ask people what they like most about reading on digital screens, and you hear over and over again about convenience. More points for digital reading：ebooks tend to be cheaper. Theres also the environmental argument. Think of the trees!Yet the soundness of this case is arguable. The earth metals to build ereaders are not just rare but highly poisonous. And think about all that energy needed to run servers and cooling fans. And remember, trees are a renewable resource.Then, theres the appeal of a hard copy. Many people prefer print when reading both for pleasure and for school or work. Drawing examples from my own research, some of the reasons are aesthetic(美學(xué)的). Others involve a sense of acplishment, ease of annotation(“I can write on the pages”), and navigation(“easy to locate where I was”). Meanwhile, I hear abundant plaints about eye strain(眼疲勞) and headaches when using screens.Much of what students liked about reading print involved their minds. They say “its easier to focus”. Some also acknowledged they took more time with printed text and read more carefully.But what makes the failure of electronic reading is concentration. More than 92% of those I surveyed said they concentrated best when reading a hard copy. When a digital device has an Internet connection, its hard to resist the temptation(誘惑)So if digital interruptions dont threaten your enjoyment or understanding of a text, then medium may not matter. Casual reading like David Baldacci? If you break to check sports scores, there will be little harm done. But just dont expect to understand Joyces novels this way.【解題導(dǎo)語】文章主要介紹了在網(wǎng)絡(luò)高度發(fā)達的社會中，電子書愈來愈有替代紙質(zhì)書的趨勢，然而作者通過對比兩者的優(yōu)缺點表達了對紙質(zhì)書的青睞。1What is an advantage of reading a hardcopy book?AIt is cheaper.BIt is easier to carry around.CIt helps people think deeper.DIt provides instant information.C解析：細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第五段可知，讀紙質(zhì)書能讓人更專注、更認真，因此思考更深入。故選C項。2Whats the biggest problem of reading digitally?AEnvironmental concern.BPhysical disfort.CLack of concentration.DInternet connection.C解析：細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第六段中的第一句“But what makes the failure of electronic reading is concentration.”可知，電子書閱讀的最大問題是缺乏專注。故選C項。3Whats the authors attitude toward ereading?ASupportive.BDisapproving.COptimistic.DUnconcerned.B解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第三至六段尤其是最后一段可知，作者認為，如果電子閱讀不會影響你閱讀的愉悅感和對文本的理解，那么無可厚非。但是讀類似喬伊斯的作品時就不是合適的選擇了。由此可推測，作者對電子閱讀持不贊成的態(tài)度。故選B項。4How is the passage mainly developed?ABy analyzing possible reasons.BBy providing typical examples.CBy listing practical suggestions.DBy presenting direct parisons.D解析：推理判斷題。文章的第二段主要講了電子書的好處，第三段講了電子書的缺點，第四、五段主要講了紙質(zhì)書的益處，第六段講了電子書的缺點。因此整個文章是通過比較來寫作的。故選D項。.*語法填空。Hongbao, a red envelope with small amounts of money in, is a gift that is warmly received, not only because of the money, but also because of its _1_(tradition) symbolism and best wishes for the future.
