Questions 36 to 45 are based on the following passage.
Global warming is a trend toward warmer conditions around the world. Part of the warming
is natural; we have experienced a 20,000-year- long warming as the last ice age ended and the ice
___36___ away. However, we have already reached temperatures that are in ___37___ with other
minimum-ice periods, so continued warming is likely not natural. We are ___38___ to a predicted
worldwide increase in temperatures ___39___ between 1℃ and 6℃ over the next 100 years. The
warming will be more ___40___ in some areas, less in others, and some places may even cool off.
Likewise, the ___41___ of this warming will be very different depending on where you
are—coastal areas must worry about rising sea levels, while Siberia and northern Canada may
become more habitable (宜居的) and ___42___ for humans than these areas are now.
The fact remains, however, that it will likely get warmer, on ___43___, everywhere.
Scientists are in general agreement that the warmer conditions we have been experiencing are at
least in part the result of a human-induced global warming trend. Some scientists ___44___ that
the changes we are seeing fall within the range of random (无规律的) variation—some years
are cold, others warm, and we have just had an unremarkable string of warm years ___45___—but
that is becoming an increasingly rare interpretation in the face of continued and increasing warm
conditions.

Section B
Directions: In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it. Each
statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which
the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is
marked with a letter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet
2.

The End of the Book?
A) Amazon, by far the largest bookseller in the country, reported on May 19 that it is now selling
more books in its electronic Kindle format than in the old paper-and-ink format. That is
remarkable, considering that the Kindle has only been around for four years. E-books now account
for 14 percent of all book sales in this country and are increasing far faster than overall book sales.
E-book sales are up 146 percent over last year, while hardback sales increased 6 percent and
paperbacks decreased 8 percent.
B) Does this spell the doom of the physical book? Certainly not immediately, and perhaps not at
all. What it does mean is that the book business will go through a transformation in the next
decade or so more profound than any it has seen since Gutenberg introduced printing from
moveable type in the 1450s.
C) Physical books will surely become much rarer in the marketplace. Mass market paperbacks,
which have been declining for years anyway, will probably disappear, as will hardbacks for
mysteries, thrillers, “romance fiction,” etc. Such books, which only rarely end up in permanent
collections, either private or public, will probably only be available as e-books within a few years.
Hardback and trade paperbacks for “serious” nonfiction and fiction will surely last longer.
Perhaps it will become the mark of an author to reckon with that he or she is still published in hard
copy.
D) As for children’s books, who knows? Children’s books are like dog food in that the
purchasers are not the consumers, so the market (and the marketing) is inherently strange.
E) For clues to the book’s future, let’s look at some examples of technological change and see
what happened to the old technology.
F) One technology replaces another only because the new technology is better, cheaper, or both.
The greater the difference, the sooner and more thoroughly the new technology replaces the old.
Printing with moveable type on paper dramatically reduced the cost of producing a book
compared with the old- fashioned ones handwritten on vellum, which comes from sheepskin. A
Bible—to be sure, a long book—required vellum made from 300 sheepskins and countless
man-hours of labor. Before printing arrived, a Bible cost more than a middle-class house. There
were perhaps 50,000 books in all of Europe in 1450. By 1500 there were 10 million.
G) But while printing quickly caused the handwritten book to die out, hand writing lingered on
(继续存在) well into the 16th century. Very special books are still occasionally produced on
vellum, but they are one-of-a-kind show pieces.
H) Sometimes a new technology doesn’t drive the old one out, but only parts of it while forcing
the rest to evolve. The movies were widely predicted to drive live theater out of the marketplace,
but they didn’t, because theater turned out to have qualities movies could not reproduce. Equally,
