Questions 1to 5 are based on the following passage.
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 (數(shù)字版權(quán)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 sympathise with those people. As I wrote earlier this week, my ideal situation would be for publishers to bundle ebooks with printed ones-in much the same way that film studios btmdie 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(黑膠唱片), 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, book lovers might even find they get a better experience.

1.C)。定位：由題干提示定位到第一段第三句：Though I'm still not keen Oil the design of the Kindle，it is a vast improvement Oil its predecessor and certainly tolerable.
詳解：推理判斷題。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)。A)“大多數(shù)人購買Kindle 2主要是由于其價(jià)格便宜”，文章第一段第二句指出“亞馬遜的電子書Kindle 2 既輕薄又便宜，這也就不難理解人們?yōu)楹螘?huì)蜂擁購買”，而非僅僅因?yàn)閮r(jià)格原因，故排除;B)“本文作者是 APPLE產(chǎn)品的忠實(shí)顧客”，文章第一段第四句提到作者有iPad而沒有Kindle，但不能由此推出作者是APPLE 產(chǎn)品的忠實(shí)顧客，為過度推斷，故排除;D)“在美國，電子書的銷量已經(jīng)超過了紙質(zhì)書籍的銷量”，第一段笫一句指出亞馬遜美國站的電子書籍銷量遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)超過紙質(zhì)書籍，而非在全美國，故排除。
2.c)定位：由題干中的Amazon's DRM定位到第二段第一句：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：
詳解：事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。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)安裝過程實(shí)在是太便捷了，以至于大多數(shù)Kindle用戶并不介意電子書無法安裝到其他設(shè)備上”，由此可知，電子書一旦安裝后，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。A)“電子書只能在亞馬遜網(wǎng)站上購買”原文并未提及，故排除;B)“Kindle電子 書與其他電子閱讀設(shè)備不兼容”是對(duì)定位句的曲解，故排除;D)“在Kindle 2上安裝的電子書不能隨意編輯” 原文并未提及，故排除。
3.B)。定位：由題干中的trend of ebooks定位到原文第三段第一句：The ebook trend is nowhere near Deaking. 詳解：事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。本題考查電子書的發(fā)展趨勢。定位句提到，電子書的發(fā)展趨勢正在無限接近頂峰。換言之，電子書的發(fā)展趨勢很快就會(huì)接近頂峰，故B)為答案。A)“電子書的發(fā)展趨勢很快就會(huì)停下來”、C) “電子書的發(fā)展趨勢在紙質(zhì)書消失時(shí)將達(dá)到頂峰”和D)“電子書的發(fā)展趨勢已經(jīng)達(dá)到頂峰”均為定位句的曲 解，故排除。
4.A)。定位：由題干中的the death of the printed book定位到第五段最后一句：However，just as there are people who love vinyl records，even if they were born well into the CD era，there will still be a dedicated minority who love physical books.
詳解：事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。本題考查作者認(rèn)為電子書不會(huì)造成紙質(zhì)書籍消亡的原因。定位句提到“然而，正如有些生活在CD時(shí)代卻依然熱愛黑膠唱片的人一樣，會(huì)有少數(shù)人仍然堅(jiān)定地愛著紙質(zhì)書”，由此可知，仍有一部分人會(huì)堅(jiān)持購買紙質(zhì)書籍，故答案為A)。第五段第四句指出“隨著時(shí)間的流逝，這群人的數(shù)量無疑會(huì) 減少，因?yàn)楦嗟娜藢B(yǎng)成電子閱讀習(xí)慣，在紙質(zhì)書上花費(fèi)的時(shí)問將越來越少”，由此可知大部分書籍愛好者會(huì)改變閱讀習(xí)慣，而非堅(jiān)持原來的選擇，故排除B)“大部分紙質(zhì)書籍愛好者不會(huì)改變選擇”;C)“因?yàn)槿藗儗?duì)于紙質(zhì)書籍總是抱有懷舊情懷”和D)“隨著時(shí)間的流逝，人們會(huì)重新選擇閱讀紙質(zhì)書籍”，在原文中均未提及，故排除。
5.C)。定位：由題干中的the future of printed books和選項(xiàng)定位到最后一段第二句：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.
詳解：事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。本題考查紙質(zhì)書的發(fā)展趨勢。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)愛書者而設(shè)的裝幀精美、數(shù)量不多的印刷本和書店。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。第五段第一句提到“理想的情況是出版商把電子書和印刷本捆綁出售”，而非未來的趨勢，A)“紙質(zhì)書籍會(huì)和電子書捆綁出售”為過度推斷，故排 除;第五段最后一句指出“還會(huì)有一小部分人購買紙質(zhì)書籍”，故排除B)“紙質(zhì)書籍會(huì)從市場上消失”;D)“紙質(zhì)書籍會(huì)迎合大眾做出調(diào)整”原文并未提及，故排除。
