why read the life story of a famous man, when a short television program can tell you all that you want to know?_television_has_not_killed_reading,_however. today, newspapers sell in very large numbers. and books of every kind are sold more than ever before. books are still a cheap way to get information and enjoyment. although some books with hard covers are expensive，many books are printed today as paperbacks (平装本), which are quite cheap. a paperback collection of short stories, for example, is always cheaper than an evening at the cinema or the theatre, and you can keep a book for ever and read it many times.books are a wonderful provider of knowledge and pleasure and some types of books should be in every home. every home should have a good dictionary. a good encyclopedia (百科全书), though expensive, is useful, too, because you can find information on any subject. besides, you can have such books as history books, science textbooks, cookbooks, and collections of stories and poems. then from time to time you can take a book of poems off your shelves and read the thoughts and feelings of your favourite poets.32it can be inferred from the passage that_.a. tv programs are a chief provider of knowledgeb. cinemas are the best choice in getting informationc. reading is a cheap way of learning and having fund. newspapers are an expensive way to enjoy oneself答案与解析c推理判断题。由文章的第二段“and books of every kind are sold more than ever before. books are still a cheap way to get information and enjoyment.”可以推出“reading is a cheap way of learning and having fun.”。33what does the underlined sentence “television has not killed reading, however.” in the second paragraph suggest?a. people only need reading, though.b. reading is still necessary today.c. reading is more fun than television.d. watching television doesnt help reading.答案与解析b句意理解题。由“., and you can keep a book for ever and read it many times.”可知读书依然是每天必不可少的。34which of the following is mainly discussed in the last paragraph?a. types of books.b. kinds of dictionaries.c. lists of history books.d. collections of stories and poems.答案与解析a主旨大意题。最后一段的第一句是该段的主题句，从中不难发现，该段主要讨论的是书籍的类型。35what can we learn from the passage?a. fewer and fewer people will buy books.b. a good dictionary should be kept in every home.c. books with hard covers sell better than paperbacks.d. more people like tv programs about famous men.答案与解析b细节理解题。从最后一段第二句“every home should have a good dictionary.”可推断出每个家庭中都应保存有一本好的词典。第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。dr. sylvia earle wants you to stop eating fish. its not because fish are endangered, though wild fish stocks in many oceans are very low. its not because theyre bad for you, though fish in many areas are exposed to poisonous substances in the water. _36_“fish are sensitive; they have personalities, says the marine biologist. for earle, eating a fish would be like eating a dog or a cat. “i would never eat anyone i know personally.” theres a lot more to fish than meets the eye: they talk to each other, they like to be touched, and they engage in behaviour that can seem very human. _37_ earle and a growing number of animal rights activists see these as strong arguments against eating fish altogether. _38_ “while it may seem obvious that fish are able to feel pain, like every other animal, some people think of fish as swimming vegetables，” says dr. lynne sneddon. “really, its kind of a moral ques
