2015年3月公共英語(yǔ)三級(jí)考試真題(閱讀理解B)
閱讀理解B
Directions:
Read the texts from a magazine article in which five people talked about the future of reading.
For questions 61-65, match the name of each person (61-65) to one of the statements (A-G)given below. Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET.
Paul:
I think books will be more affordable. They are pretty expensive. Publishers are so silly be-cause they focus on "We're not going to be selling so many hardcover books at $26. " But you're going to sell infinitely more electronically, so what are you complaining about? I view it as a grea-ter opportunity. My e-reader is great because I travel, and I don't want to carry a billion things with me.
David:
I don't own an e-reader, and I've never read a page on an e-reader. I do everything I can to avoid more screen time. Not to play down the value of a physical book, when it comes to somebody investing in one, it's something you want to keep. You have to give readers a choice, between a ric- her experience with physical books, and a more lifeless experience through an electronic reader.
James:
The new immigrants don't shoot the old inhabitants when they come in. One technology tends to supplement rather than substitute. How you read is not as important as: Will you read? Will you read something that's a book-the sustained train of thought of one person speaking to another?
Search techniques are embedded in e-books that invite people to dip into something rather than follow a full train of thought.
Alex:
We've maintained in the last few years there will be fewer bookstores. We have the best busi-ness model in the world. Books are still a majority of what we sell in stores, but they are becoming less and less. About 50 percent of physical books are sold in non-bookstore outlets, like drugstores and club stores. There are people with agendas in this industry, but the physical book is going no- where.
William:
E-readers take out the paper middleman and give me what I want from books: the words. My e-reader has allowed me to read more than ever. When I travel I can take five books with me all without cutting down a single tree or using any extra jet fuel. Books made of paper can be beautiful, but they are never as beautiful as the words in the best of them.
Now match the name of each person (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement.
Note: there are two extra statements.
Statements
61. Paul
62. David
63. James
64. Alex
65. William
A. I prefer physical books to e-books.
B. E-books are environmentally friendly.
C. The market for physical books is shrinking.
D. What counts is not how but how well you read.
E. E-reading will benefit, rather than harm, publishers.
F. The price of hardcover books will be greatly lowered.
F. Non-bookstore outlets add to the growth of physical books.
【參考譯文】
下面這段文字是關(guān)于5個(gè)人對(duì)于未來(lái)閱讀方式的不同觀點(diǎn)。
保羅:
我認(rèn)為書的價(jià)格太貴了,應(yīng)該更便宜。出版商愚蠢地將重點(diǎn)放在“我們不會(huì)以26美元的價(jià)格出售精裝書”,但是他們出售更多的電子書,所以有什么好抱怨的呢?我認(rèn)為這是一個(gè)很好的機(jī)會(huì)。我的電子閱覽器很棒,因?yàn)槲衣糜螘r(shí)不想帶很多東西。
大衛(wèi):
我沒(méi)有電子閱覽器,也從沒(méi)在電子閱覽器上看過(guò)書,我盡量避免使用電子屏幕。不是要貶低紙質(zhì)書的價(jià)值,當(dāng)一個(gè)人購(gòu)買一本紙質(zhì)書的時(shí)候,他是想要收藏。閱讀一本豐富多彩的紙質(zhì)書還是閱讀毫無(wú)生氣的電子書,應(yīng)該要讓讀者自己選擇。
詹姆士:
就像新來(lái)的移民者不會(huì)射殺當(dāng)?shù)鼐用褚粯,新科技的發(fā)明是一種補(bǔ)充而不是替代。你讀書的方式遠(yuǎn)沒(méi)有以下幾點(diǎn)重要:你會(huì)讀書嗎?你讀的書是作者思想對(duì)讀者進(jìn)行的一種傾訴嗎?電子書所具備的搜索技術(shù)能使人們更深入地去閱讀而不是盲目跟隨某一種思想。
艾利克斯:
在過(guò)去幾年里,我們一直認(rèn)為書店會(huì)越來(lái)越少。我們有世界上最好的銷售模式。書籍仍是商店出售的主要產(chǎn)品,但是他們的銷量越來(lái)越少。大約50%的紙質(zhì)書都是在非書店(如藥店、俱樂(lè)部)的打折活動(dòng)中賣出的。這個(gè)產(chǎn)業(yè)中人們有自己的El程安排,但是紙質(zhì)書卻無(wú)路可走了。
威廉:
電子閱覽器沒(méi)有了中間商,給我的是我想從書里看到的文字。我的電子閱讀器能讓我讀到更多的內(nèi)容。當(dāng)我旅行的時(shí)候我可以帶5本書,不會(huì)多砍一棵樹(shù)也不會(huì)增加飛機(jī)燃油消耗。紙質(zhì)書是很美麗,但是不會(huì)比書里面的文字更美麗。
【參考答案】
61.E【精析】主旨題。保羅認(rèn)為出版商出售電子書是一個(gè)很好的機(jī)會(huì),會(huì)給他們帶來(lái)利潤(rùn),與E項(xiàng)“電子閱讀會(huì)給出版商帶來(lái)更多的好處而不是壞處”相符,故選E。
62.A【精析】主旨題。大衛(wèi)認(rèn)為人們應(yīng)該自己選擇想要看書的方式,他更傾向于紙質(zhì)書,與A項(xiàng)表示相同的意思,故選A。
63.D【精析】主旨題。詹姆士認(rèn)為電子書的作用是補(bǔ)充讀書方式,而不是替代紙質(zhì)書,重要的不是如何讀書,而是讀得怎么樣,與D項(xiàng)“重要的不是如何讀書,而是讀得怎么樣”意思相符,故選D。
64.C【精析】主旨題。艾利克斯認(rèn)為紙質(zhì)書雖然是商店出售的主要產(chǎn)品,但是銷量在逐年下降,這與C項(xiàng)的“紙質(zhì)書的市場(chǎng)在萎縮”意思相同,故選C。
65.B【精析】主旨題。威廉認(rèn)為電子書不會(huì)消耗資源并且不會(huì)增加飛機(jī)燃油消耗,這與8項(xiàng)“電子書非常環(huán)保”意思相同,故選B。
