***阅读理解。
We know a lot about the advantages and disadvantages of reading a hardcopy book vs. reading electronically. The problem is, many of us refuse to listen.
Don’t get me wrong: Digital reading has some real advantages. Ask people what they like most about reading on digital screens, and you hear over and over again about convenience. More points for digital reading:ebooks tend to be cheaper. There’s also the environmental argument. Think of the trees!
Yet the soundness of this case is arguable. The earth metals to build ereaders are not just rare but highly poisonous. And think about all that energy needed to run servers and cooling fans. And remember, trees are a renewable resource.
Then, there’s the appeal of a hard copy. Many people prefer print when reading both for pleasure and for school or work. Drawing examples from my own research, some of the reasons are aesthetic(美学的). Others involve a sense of accomplishment, ease of annotation(“I can write on the pages”), and navigation(“easy to locate where I was”). Meanwhile, I hear abundant complaints about eye strain(眼疲劳) and headaches when using screens.
Much of what students liked about reading print involved their minds. They say “it’s easier to focus”. Some also acknowledged they took more time with printed text and read more carefully.
But what makes the failure of electronic reading is concentration. More than 92% of those I surveyed said they concentrated best when reading a hard copy. When a digital device has an Internet connection, it’s hard to resist the temptation(诱惑).
So if digital interruptions don’t threaten your enjoyment or understanding of a text, then medium may not matter. Casual reading like David Baldacci? If you break to check sports scores, there will be little harm done. But just don’t expect to understand Joyce’s novels this way.
【解题导语】 文章主要介绍了在网络高度发达的社会中,
电子书愈来愈有替代纸质书的趋势,然而作者通过对比两者的优缺点表达了对纸质书的青睐。
1.What is an advantage of reading a hardcopy book?
A.It is cheaper.
B.It is easier to carry around.
C.It helps people think deeper.
D.It provides instant information.
C 解析:细节理解题。根据文章第五段可知,读纸质书能让人更专注、更认真,因此思考更深入。故选C项。
2.What’s the biggest problem of reading digitally?
A.Environmental concern.
B.Physical discomfort.
C.Lack of concentration.
D.Internet connection.
C 解析:细节理解题。根据文章第六段中的第一句“But what makes the failure of electronic reading is concentration.”可知,电子书阅读的最大问题是缺乏专注。故选C项。
3.What’s the author’s attitude toward ereading?
A.Supportive. B.Disapproving.
C.Optimistic. D.Unconcerned.
B 解析:推理判断题。根据文章第三至六段尤其是最后一段可知,作者认为,如果电子阅读不会影响你阅读的愉悦感和对文本的理解,那么无可厚非。但是读类似乔伊斯的作品时就不是合适的选择了。由此可推测,作者对电子阅读持不赞成的态度。故选B项。
4.How is the passage mainly developed?
A.By analyzing possible reasons.
B.By providing typical examples.
C.By listing practical suggestions.
D.By presenting direct comparisons.
D 解析:推理判断题。文章的第二段主要讲了电子书的好处,第三段讲了电子书的缺点,第四、五段主要讲了纸质书的益处,第六段讲了电子书的缺点。因此整个文章是通过比较来写作的。故选D项。
.***语法填空。

篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。全文主要介绍了红包的由来及其所表征的意义。
1.traditional 考查词性转换。根据空后的名词symbolism可知,应用形容词。
2.especially 考查词性转换。especially “尤其”,在句中作状语,起强调作用。
3.as 考查介词。regard ... as ...“把……当作是……”。
4.the 考查冠词。此处指上文提到的“devil”,故用定冠词the。
5.and 考查连词。根据空格前后内容可知,应用and连接两个并列的句子。
6.containing 考查非谓语动词。envelopes与contain为逻辑上的主谓关系,故用现在分词作后置定语。
7.has survived 考查动词的时态。此处强调这个传统从过去开始,并且对现在仍有影响,故用现在完成时。
8.employees 考查词性转换。老板常常给员工们发红包。give sb. sth. “给某人某物”,故用名词。employee表示“雇员”,为可数名词,应用复数形式表泛指。
9.where 考查定语从句的引导词。本句中,“__9__ hongbao is distributed”是定语从句,修饰表抽象地点意义的先行词online marketing
strategies,关系词在从句中作状语,表地点,故填关系副词where。
10.means 考查主谓一致。所填词在句中作谓语,句子的主语为动名词短语“Giving hongbao at ... Year”,谓语动词应用第三人称单数形式。

***短文改错。
The old saying “The early bird catches the worm” show us the importance of planning, working hard and trying constant. To achieve outstanding results, the most people must plan ahead and work diligently to overcome all kind of difficulties.
That has been my own experience, either. When I first started high school, I seldom passed my exams, so I never prepared well. Later, my teacher, Mr Black, advised me plan everything in advance. She asked me to study hard as well. After a year of putting his advice onto practice, I can now easily pass all my exams.
There are no short cuts to succeed.

难项分析:
第一处:show→shows 考查动词的时态和主谓一致。此处描述一般性情况,应用一般现在时;动名词“The old saying”作主语,谓语动词应用第三人称单数形式,故改为shows。
第五处:either→too 考查either和too的用法。either和too都意为“也”。either一般用于否定句句末,too多用于肯定句句末。
第六处:so→because 考查连词。句意:我很少通过考试,因为我准备不充分。根据主从句逻辑关系可知,从句表原因,故改为because。
