21、 What is a book nowadays in a world of Kindles and iPads? Traditional publishers are traveling a long and confusing road into the digital future. Here's the conventional wisdom about publishing: People expect e-books to be cheaper than physical books, and that drives down prices. But the story's not that simple. For one thing, digital publishers have the same problem that traditional publishers do:piracy(盗版).
It turns out, though, that some publishers are doing pretty well despite the piracy problem. "We've had an amazing year," says Sourcebooks President Dominique Raccah. "Last year was the best year in the company's history. This year we beat that, which I didn't think was even possible."Raccah adds that her company is doing well because of digital publishing.
It turns out there are some huge advantages-at least for publishers. A big one: The price of an e-book isn't fixed the way it is with physical books. Ten years ago, a publisher would have sent out its books to the bookstore with the price stamped on the cover. After that, it was done - the publisher couldn't put a book on sale to sell more copies.
"The exciting thing about digital books is that we actually get to test and price differently, " Raccah says. That's what American publisher Little, Brown and Company did with Robert Dallek's book An Unfinished Life: John F. Kennedy. In the middle of November, Little, Brown and Company dropped the price from $ 9. 99 to $ 2. 99 for 24 hours. That sparks sales; it gets people talking about it," says Terry Adams, a publisher with Little, Brown and Company.
If you read the new e-book 40 Years of Queen, youwill find it full of links. Links to iTunes, where you can buy the music you've been reading about. That's another huge advantage of e-books:Publishers can sell you things inside your book.
There's still one big problem putting pressure on publishers. "We actually don't have a good gifting tradition yet for e-books," says Raccah. Despite all the advances in reading technology, physical books are still the best Christmas presents.
【1】How does Raccah feel about her company's achievement this year?
A．It's really disappointing.
B．It's less than satisfactory.
C．It's just what she predicted.
D．It's far beyond her expectations.
【2】Why does the author mention publishing 10 years ago?
A．To stress it had its own advantage.
B．To show its marketing was not flexible.
C．To complain about the changing prices of books.
D．To indicate the unpopularity of physical books.
【3】What do we know about An Unfinished Life: John F. Kennedy?
A．It was written by John F. Kennedy.
B．It caused disagreements among buyers.
C．It was sold at a huge discount for one day.
D．It was sold at a different price every week.
【4】What can you do while reading the new e-book 40 Years of Queen?
A．Buy items mentioned in the book.
B．Find links to other relevant books.
C．Get some background information.
D．Listen to music in the book for free.
22、In anticipation (预料) of an extraordinary visit, the streets and buildings of Havana, Cuba, were cleaned and painted by dozens of workers. What was the occasion?
For the first time in nearly 90 years, a sitting United States president was coming to Cuba, an island nation 90 miles south of Florida. On Sunday, President Barack Obama, joined by his family, stepped off Air Force One and onto a rainy runway, where Cuban dignitaries (高官) eagerly awaited him. “It’s wonderful to be here, ” the president said. The last time a U.S. president came to Cuba was in 1928. It was President Calvin Coolidge, and he arrived on a battleship. Obama will be in Cuba through Tuesday. He is set to meet with Cuba’s president, Raul Castro, attend a state dinner and even take in a baseball game.
The U.S. cut all ties with Cuba after Fidel Castro’s communist government took control of the island in 1959. In the years that followed, both countries’ opposing political views furthered the separation. Plans for social and economic change began after President Fidel Castro transferred power to his brother, Raul in 2008. Raul Castro then set a plan in motion to revive the country’s economy.
Since then, Cuba has been taking small, yet lasting steps toward change by removing a number of restrictions that had been set on its citizens, such as access to the Internet, the use of cellphones, and by allowing people to work at jobs not controlled by the government. Cuba, however, still has tough limits on media, public assembly and political opposition.
Obama hopes to share his vision for Cuba’s future during a speech he will deliver. Before the trip, Senior Advisor Ben Rhodes said the president hoped to use this visit as a way to “continue to create openings for great engagement between the American and Cuban people.”
【1】What is stressed in the second paragraph?
A. President Obama’s arrival on television.
B. Obama and Castro talk about human rights.
C. The first serving U.S. president to visit Cuba recently.
D. First lady Michelle Obama was later welcomed.
【2】What was the event showing Cuba’s change for the better?
A. Fidel Castro rose to power.
B. Raul Castro came to power.
C. Calvin Coolidge arrived in Cuba.
D. The U.S. officials arrived in Cuba.
【3】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Cuba is central to conflict.
B. Cuba takes on media freedoms.
C. Cuba is working towards progress.
D. Cuba makes sure the right to healthcare.
【4】According to Ben Rhodes, which is the purpose of Barack Obama’s visit to Cuba?[
A. To bring negative change for Cubans.
B. To carry out his vision for Cuba’s future.
C. To break silence and no communications.
D. To give Mr Castro a list of political views.
23、 Teens are not always the easiest people in the world to understand or talk to. They can be complex and moody, with their minds changing between childhood and adulthood.【1】Let's talk some ways to talk with teens easily.
Start a conversation at the dinner table. Create quality family time and encourage conversation during dinner.【2】That way, you can all focus your attention on the dinner conversation.
