答案，并在答题卡上将相应的字母涂黑。
Passage One
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.
Some multimedia companies predict that, in a few years' time,
production of newspapers and magazines will have been halved,
for we will he turning to our computers to get the latest news.
To publishers, this means the arrival of the e-book.
But is this the end of the book and the newspaper? I doubt it. I
do not think anything can replace the book. This is partly
because, although some people believe that technology is
capable of anything, it isn't yet! To begin with, the Internet is
slow. Even though work is constantly being carried out to solve
this problem, demand for the Internet is increasing too fast for
scientists to keep up. What is more, it takes much longer for us
to read on the computer. Research shows that we read 50%
more quickly on paper than on a computer screen.
In addition, it seems that we like the feel of books and
magazines－we like to put them in our bags or pockets and
5



take them out on the bus or the train on the way to work. We
like to sit and read in the park or on the beach. For many of us,
the idea of Sunday morning without a cup of coffee and some
newspapers is unimaginable.
We like to decorate our rooms with them, too .How many of us
would exchange what we have now－a row of books in a
bookcase, or a pile of magazines on the coffee table－for a row
of little screens?
Nevertheless, by the time e-books have become as widely
available as printed ones, it is likely that at least some of us will
have changed our minds.
21 .According to some multimedia companies, production of
newspapers and magazines .
A. will be reduced by half
B .has been reduced by half
C .will be increased by 50%
D .has been increased by 50%
ing to the passage, people read .
A. as quickly on paper as on the computer
B .half as quickly on paper as on the computer
C .50% more quickly on the computer than on paper
D .50% more quickly on paper than on the computer

23 .The third paragraph is mainly related to .
A. technical problems
g habits
ons of books
of books
many reasons does the passage provide for books as
against e-books?
A.2
B .3
C.4
D.5
25 .Judging by the passage, the author .
s books to e-books
B. likes e-books better than books
C. loves both books and e-books
es the arrival of e-books
Passage Two
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.
Debbie Fields is at a party with her husband, Randy Fields, a
well-known economist. The guests flatter Randy, eager to hear
his economic forecast. But when the same guests discover that
Debbie is a housewife, they suddenly remember conversations
7



they desperately need to have on the other side of the room.
They treat Debbie like an absolute zero.
Finally, the host turns to Debbie with questions about her life
and future plans. She tries hard, but cannot come up with any
definite answers. Finally, he asks in an annoyed tone,
you intend to do with your life?

Debbie feels hurt. She decides not to live in anyone else's
shadow. She will find something of her own to do. But what?
What Debbie had always loved doing was making chocolate
chip cookies. She had experimented with recipes（配方） since
she was 13 years old-adding more butter, less flour, more and
different kinds of chocolate until she hit upon an ideal
combination, Now, she has this idea. She will open up a little
store and sell her cookies.

feels the same way. So do the loan officers she approaches for
financing. But she sets her heart on her cookie business.
