2016年12月英語六級仔細閱讀習(xí)題
2016年12月份的英語六級考試快到來了,同學(xué)們有沒有做好充足的準備呢?以下是yjbys網(wǎng)小編整理的關(guān)于語六級仔細閱讀習(xí)題,供大家備考。
Questions 1 to 5 are based oil the following passage.
Uke a tired marriage.the relationship between libraries and publishers has long been reassuringly dull.E—books,however,are causing heartache.
Libraries know they need digital wares if they are to remain relevant,but many publishers are too careful about piracy and lost sales to c0.operate.Among the big six.only Random House and HarperCollins license e-books with most libraries.The others have either denied requests or are reluctantly experimenting.
Publishers are wise to be nervous.Owners of e.readers are exactly the customers they need:book—lovers with money-neither the devices nor broadband connections come cheap.If these wonderful people switch to borrowing e-books instead of buying them,what then?
Electronic borrowing is awfully convenient.Unlike printed books.which must be checked out and
returned to a physical library miles from where you live,book files can be downloaded at home.Digital library catalogues are often browsed at night.from a comfortable sofa.The files disappear from the device when they are due.
Awkwardly for publishers,buying an e—book costs more than renting one but offers little extra value.
You cannot resell it。lend it to a friend or burn it to stay warm.Owning a book is useful if you want to savor(品嘗)it repeatedly,but who reads“Fifty Shades of Grey”twice?
E-1ending is not simple.however.There are lots of different and often incompatible e-book formats,devices and licences.Most libraries use a company called Over Drive,a global distributor that secures rights from publishers and provides e-books and audio files in every format.Yet publishers and libraries are worried by Over Drive’s market dominance,as the company can increasingly dictate fees and conditions.
Library boosters argue that book borrowers are also book buyers,and that libraries are vital spaces for readers to discover new work.Many were.cheered by a recent Pew survey,which found that more than half of Americans with Horary cards say they prefer to buy their e-books.But the report also noted that few people know that e-books are available at most libraries,and that popular titles often involve long waiting lists,which may be what inspires people to buy.
So publishers keep adjusting their lending arrangements in:search of the right balance.Random House raised its licensing prices earlier this year,and Harper Collins limits libraries to lending its titles 26 times.
Hachita is engaged in some secret experiments,and the others are watching with held breath.In Britain the government will soon announce a review of the matter.The story of the library e-book is a nail-biter.

答案與解析:
1.D)。定位 由題干中的inferred from the first paragraph定位到文章第一段最后兩句:Among the big six,only Random House and Harper Collins license e-books with most libraries.The others have either denied requests or are reluctantly experimenting.
詳解:推理判斷題。本題考查對文章第一段的理解。定位句指出,在六大出版商中,只有蘭登書屋和哈珀科林斯出版集團將電子書授權(quán)給了大多數(shù)圖書館,其他出版商有的表示拒絕,有的則在勉強試探當(dāng)中,故答案為D)。 A)“圖書館急于與出版商保持聯(lián)系”,第一段開頭指出,圖書館與出版商的關(guān)系平淡如水而不是急于保持聯(lián)系,故排除;B)“一些出版商已經(jīng)將電子書出售給大部分圖書館了”,最后一句已經(jīng)指出只有兩家出版集團將電子書授權(quán)給了大多數(shù)圖書館,故排除;c)“圖書館太注重盜版和銷量了”,注重盜版和銷量的是出版商,故排除。
2.D)。定位 由題干中的electronic borrowin9定位到文章第三段首句:Electronic borrowing is awfully convenient.和最后一句:The files disappear from the device when they are due,
詳解 事實細節(jié)題。本題考查有關(guān)電子借閱的細節(jié)。定位句指出,到期的文件會自動從閱讀設(shè)備上消失,故答案為D)。A)“電子借閱可以幫助讀者節(jié)省設(shè)備和寬帶連接的費用”,第二段第二句只是提到閱讀設(shè)備和寬帶都不便宜,屬于推斷過度,故排除;B)“需要通過網(wǎng)絡(luò)結(jié)賬并傳回給圖書館”原文中未提及,故排除;C)“它使得讀者將書本轉(zhuǎn)借或者賣給朋友”,由第四段第二句可知,電子書不能再次轉(zhuǎn)借或出售給朋友,故排除。
3.C)。定位 由題干中的Over Drive定位到文章第五段最后一句:Yet publishers and libraries are worried by Over Drive’s market dominance,as the company can increasingly dictate fees and conditions.
詳解:推理判斷題。本題考查對超速檔的認識和理解。定位句指出,出版商和圖書館也因此對超速檔在市場上獨占鰲頭感到擔(dān)憂,因為這樣一來它就可以逐漸控制費用、提出條件,故答案為C)。A)“它享有給讀者提供多種電子讀物的特權(quán)”,出版商也可以提供,這不是超速檔所特有的優(yōu)勢,故排除;B)“它將電子書和音頻文件分銷給出版商”,由本段第二句得出,超速檔從出版商那里購買版權(quán),邏輯錯誤,故排除;D)“它致力于提升電子書的市場環(huán)境”,由本段最后一句可知,超速檔可能逐步壟斷市場,因而不利于市場競爭,故排除。
4.C)。定位 由題干中的the recent.Pew survey定位到文章倒數(shù)第二段最后一句:But the report also noted that few people know that e-books are available at most libraries,and that popular titles often involve long waiting lists,which may be what inspires people to buy.
詳解:事實細節(jié)題。本題考查對最近皮尤研究的結(jié)論的理解。定位旬指出,這份調(diào)查發(fā)現(xiàn),很少有人知道大多數(shù)圖書館里也有電子書資源,而且熱門書的后面總是跟著長長的借閱預(yù)約名單,這或許就是促使人們買書的原因,故答案為C)。A)“超過一半的美國人選擇電子書而不是紙質(zhì)版本的”、B)“有借閱證的人提倡借閱而不是買書”,由本段第二句可知,是超過一半持有借閱證的美國人喜歡買電子書,主語范圍擴大,而且是更喜歡購買
而不是借閱,故均排除;D)“收藏一本受歡迎的書的渴望促使人們?nèi)ベ徺I”與原文意思不符,故排除。
5.D)。定位 由題干中的a nail.biter定位到文章末段前兩句:So publishers keep a4insting their lending arrangements in search of the right balance.Random House raised its licensing prices earlier this year,and Harper Collins limits libraries to lending its titles 26 tenes.和末段末句:The story of the library e.book is a nail.biter.
詳解:語義理解題。本題考查對“a nail.biter”的理解。末段前兩句指出,出版商們通過調(diào)整借閱策略以尋求平衡。蘭登書屋在今年早些時候提高了授權(quán)費;哈珀科林斯把圖書館出借的次數(shù)限制在26次以內(nèi)。最后兩句提到,英國政府很快會宣告一項相關(guān)審核,圖書館與電子書的故事還在緊張地進行著。由此推知,關(guān)于電子書借閱還有很多問題有待解決,故答案為D)。A)“圖書館需要盡快與出版商合作”,作者沒表明此觀點,故排除;B)“出版商有許多秘密實驗要進行”,由末段第二句可知,進行某些實驗的只有阿歇特圖書出版集團,其他出版商均在觀望,故排除;C)“出版商不可能將電子書經(jīng)銷給圖書館”,作者沒有表述此觀點,反而鼓勵兩者合作,故排除。
