26、   Like a tired marriage.the relationship between libraries and publishers has long been dull. E- books, however，are causing heartache. Libraries know they need digital wares, but many publishers are too cautious about piracy(盗版)and lost sales to co-operate. Among the big six, only Random House and Harper Collins license e-books with most libraries.

Publishers are wise to be nervous. Owners of e-readers (电子阅读器)are exactly the customers they need: book-lovers with money. If these people switch to borrowing e-books instead of buying them, what then? Electronic borrowing is awfully convenient. Unlike printed books, which must be checked out and returned to a physical library miles from where you live， book files can be downloaded at home. The files disappear from the device when they are due.

E-lending is not simple, however. There are lots of different and often incompatible(不兼容的)e-book formats, devices and licenses. Most libraries use a company called OverDrive, which secures rights from publishers and provides e-books and audio files in every format. Yet publishers and libraries are worried by OverDrive s global market dominance (优势)，as the company can control fees and conditions. Publishers were annoyed when OverDrive cooperated with Amazon, the world's biggest online bookseller，last year. Owners of Amazon’s Kindle e- reader who want to borrow e-books from libraries are now redirected to Amazon’s website, where they must use their Amazon account to secure a loan.

According to Pew,an opinion researcher, library users are a perfect market for Amazon. Late last year Amazon introduced its Kindle Owners' Lending Library, which lets its best customers borrow free one of thousands of popular books each month.

Library supporters argue that book borrowers are also book buyers and that libraries are vital spaces for readers to discover new works. Many were cheered by a recent Pew survey»which found that more than half of Americans with library cards say they prefer to buy their e-books.

So publishers keep adjusting their lending arrangements in search of the right balance.

Random House raised its licensing price's earlier this year,and Harper Collins limits libraries to lending its titles 26 times.

【1】It can be inferred from Paragraph 1 that ________.

A. several big publishers have sold e-books to libraries

B. most publishers are hesitant to cooperate with libraries

C. libraries are eager to keep strong relationship with publishers

D. libraries and publishers face the same problem of e-books’ piracy

【2】Why are publishers worried that people will switch to electronic borrowing?

A. E-books must be checked out and returned to libraries regularly.

B. There is no time limit for the book files downloaded on the device.

C. There are lots of different and incompatible e-book formats available.

D. Book sales may drop sharply because of convenient electronic borrowing.

【3】We can learn from the text that ________.

A. Amazon is adopting measures to win more customers

B. e-books can be lent at libraries as many times as you like

C. OverDrive distributes e-books and audio files to publishers

D. over half of Americans are borrowing e-boo from libraries

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A. The Hopeful Future of Publishing Business

B. The Uncertain Economics of Lending E-books

C. The Dull Relationship between Libraries and Publishers

D. The Close Cooperation between OverDrive and Amazon

28、   People who have seen Trisha Seifried Woodall with her cats say that she has a magic touch. Most people don't know anyone who can order a cat to jump on a table, sit for two minutes, and then jump to the floor and walk backward.

Ms. Seifried Woodall has taught her cats to do all these tricks -- and many more. At her training center. Got Pet-ential, cats learn tricks for TV and magazine ads. Some of her cats have appeared on bags of cat food.

When Ms. Seifried Woodall gets a cat, she first learns what that cat likes and doesn’t like. “Some cats like to stay close to the ground, so I'll teach them how to stand behind me, and walk with me,”she says. “Other cats, like high places, so they'll learn how to jump on my bent knee and then safely leap to my shoulder.”

Ms. Seifried Woodall grew up in a family with many pets, and she was first paid to work with animals when she was 18. At a summer job at an amusement park, she learned how to train a few of the animals for performances. She continued to train and learn about animals for 20 years before starting her own animal-training center.

Ms. Seifried Woodall is proud of the skills her cats have learned, but she is also proud that her center’s cats are healthy and social. She believes her cats enjoy learning new tricks.

In Ms. Seifried Woodall’s experience, no breed(品种) of cat is easier to train than others. All of her cats came from shelters. They have become pets in her home.

Like most animal trainers, Ms. Seifried Woodall uses a reward system. Cats that are successful during training get food or a new toy. A cat that doesn’t enjoy eating or playing will probably not be interested in being trained. She never scolds(责骂) them. “Cats need a lot of encouragement when they are performing, she says." I say good job or that’s right several times during a single minute.”

【1】What are the cats trained by Ms. Seifried Woodall mainly used to do?

A. Work for amusement parks. B. Act in TV and magazine ads.

C. Become people’s family pets. D. Set a good example to other cats.

【2】What can we learn about Ms. Seifried Woodall and her cat-training job?

A. She usually trains cats at her home.

B. She prefers training cats that are active.

C. She trains cats according to their characters.

D. She can train any cat to be well-behaved.

【3】What did Ms. Seifried Woodall do before becoming a cat trainer?

A. She took care of pets for families.

B. She performed at an amusement park.

C. She worked in an animal shelter.

D. She worked with animals for years.

【4】Which of the following can best describe Ms. Seifried Woodall?

A. Brave and strong B. Polite and friendly

C. Caring and patient D. Humorous and talkative

29、   At your next meeting, wait for a pause (停顿) in conversation and try to measure how long it lasts.

Among English speakers, it is probable that it will be a second or two at most. But while this pattern may be universal, our understanding of silence differs greatly across cultures.

What one culture considers a confusing or embarrassing pause may be seen by others as a valuable moment of thought and respect for what the last speaker has said. Research in Dutch (荷兰语) and also in English found that when a silence in conversation lasts four seconds, people start to feel uneasy. However, another study of business meetings found that Japanese people are happy with silences of 8.2 seconds—nearly twice as long as in Americans’ meetings.

In Japan, it is recognized that the best communication is when you don’t speak at all. It’s already a failure to understand each other by speaking because you’re repairing that failure by using words.

In the US, it may originate from the history of colonial (殖民地的) America as a crossroads of many different races (种族). When you have difference, it’s hard to reach common understanding unless you talk and there’s understandably a kind of anxiety unless people use words to establish a common life. This applies also to some extent to London.

However, when there’s more homogeneity, perhaps it’s easier for some kinds of silence to appear. For example, among your closest friends and family it’s easier to sit in silence than with people you’re less well know.

【1】Which of the following people might have the longest silence in conversation?

A.The Dutch

B.The American

C.The English

D.The Japanese

【2】What might the Japanese agree with in a conversation?

A.Speaking more gives the upper hand.

B.Speak out what you have in your mind.

C.Great minds think alike without words.

D.The shorter talking silence, the better.

【3】What can we learn from the text?

A.A four second silence in conversation is universal.

B.It’s hard for American to reach a common agreement.

C.English speakers are more talkative than Japanese speakers.

D.The closer we and our family are, the easier the silence appears.

【4】What does the underlined word “homogeneity” in the last paragraph mean?

A.Similarity

B.Difference

C.Disagreement

D.Misunderstanding
