21、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 services, but many publishers are too cautious about piracy and lost sales to co-operate. Among the big six publishers, only Random House and Harper Collins license e-books with most libraries.

Publishers are wise to be nervous. Owners of e-readers 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 away, 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 various incompatible 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, 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.

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. But a recent Pew survey found that more than half of Americans with library cards say they prefer to buy their e-books. It also noted that e-books actually are available at most libraries, and that popular titles often involve long waiting lists, which may inspire people to buy.

So publishers keep adjusting their lending arrangements in search of the right balance. Random House raised its licensing price earlier this year, and Harper Collins limits libraries to lending its titles 26 times. The story of the library e-book is a nail-biter.

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

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

B．both libraries and publishers caution the e-book piracy

C．some publishers are hesitant to cooperate with libraries

D．libraries are eager to keep strong relationship with publishers

【2】What worries publishers about people’s switch to e-books?

A．The risk of e-book piracy.

B．The possible decline of book sales.

C．No time limit for the downloaded book files.

D．The availability of the incompatible e-book formats.

【3】We can learn from Paragraph 3 and 4 that ________.

A．Amazon is adopting measures to win more customers

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

C．over half of Americans are borrowing e-books from libraries

D．the fees of lending e-books are under the control of publishers

【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

22、   A cat whisperer is a person who can talk and communicate with cats. Talking to a cat means understanding the spoken and unspoken words of a cat. He understands the cat's physical and verbal communication.  【1】

You can also become a cat whisperer if you learn to understand the body language of your cat. 【2】  If a cat opens her eyes wide and looks right at you, she is careful and ready to listen to you. When the eyes are half closed, it may mean she is a sleepy cat or she may want you to know, "I trust you and everything around me; I'm not in danger.” When the cat stares at you, it means she wants you to stay away and does not wish to be interrupted. 【3】  cats are complex animals that are actually clever. Each and every cat is different and the owner will quickly learn to understand the body language of his/her cat.

【4】  For example, if you are petting your cat and you see her wagging her tail, it means that she is happy and loves to be petted. But if suddenly you get a bite, it means that she wants you to stop petting her at once.

Unlike dogs, who are considered humans' good friends, cats are not good at showing their emotions. 【5】 With a little understanding and patience, you will also become a good cat whisperer.

A.Take its eyes for example.

B.It is because she is searching for comfort.

C.Cat whisperers are something new to people.

D.Therefore, he knows what the cat is trying to say.

E.However, cats prove to be humans' good friends just the same.

F.You should understand these signs to communicate with your cat.

G.What's more，do consider a cats feelings if you want to be a cat whisperer.

23、   There are an extremely large number of ants worldwide. Each individual(个体的) ant hardly weighs anything, but put together they weigh roughly the same as all of mankind. They also live nearly everywhere, except on frozen mountain tops and around the poles. For animals their size, ants have been astonishingly successful, largely due to their wonderful social behavior.

In colonies(群体)that range in size from a few hundred to tens of millions, they organize their lives with a clear division of labor. Even more amazing is how they achieve this level of organization. Where we use sound and sight to communicate, ants depend primarily on pheromones(外激素),chemicals sent out by individuals and smelled or tasted by fellow members of their colony. When an ant finds food, it produces a pheromone that will lead others straight to where the food is. When an individual ant comes under attack or is dying, it sends out an alarm pheromone to warn the colony to prepare for a conflict as a defense unit.

In fact, when it comes to the art of war, ants have no equal. They are completely fearless and will readily take on a creature much larger than themselves, attacking in large groups and overcoming their target. Such is their devotion to the common good of the colony that not only soldier ants but also worker ants will sacrifice their lives to help defeat an enemy.

Behaving in this selfless and devoted manner, these little creatures have survived on Earth for more than 140 million years, far longer than dinosaurs. Because they think as one, they have a collective(集体的)intelligence greater than you would expect from its individual parts.

【1】We can learn from the passage that ants are______.

A.not willing to share food B.not found around the poles

C.more successful than all other animals D.too many to achieve any level of organization

【2】Ants can use pheromones for______.

A.escape B.communication C.warning enemies D.arranging labor

24、Like a lot of people, I started working out last year. And I started noticing my body change which was cool! But then I found myself noticing my body more often. 【1】 . It doesn’t have to be that way. Here are some tips on how to keep comfortable with your body.

【2】

Instead of focusing on body changes, consider how exercising can improve your quality of life. Study after study shows exercise is good for your physical health, as well as your mental health. Exercise can help lower your risk of heart disease. Aerobic exercises (有氧运动) have been proven to reduce anxiety and depression.

Figure out a way to move your body that doesn’t feel like a total burden

Exercise can look like a lot of different things — lifting weights, swimming and yoga. It’s suggested that you find a fitness equipment that is suitable for you. Gyms and studios often provide free trials. 【3】 . If a certain class or studio feels aimed at a goal that’s not a right fit for you, head over to the next one.

Set a realistic goal

【4】 . It helps to have something concrete and specific to work towards — something challenging, but achievable. If you need help identifying a goal, you’d better work with your doctor to figure out what you can do to improve your health. Once you’ve set your goal, figure out when you want to accomplish it and work forward from there. 【5】

A．It can be hard to stay motivated

B．Examine your motivations for getting in shape

C．Remember that we’re all built differently.

D．It turns out a lot of people were feeling the same.

E．Take advantage of those offers to feel out the atmosphere of each spot.

G．There was a great anxiety about long-term benefits.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

When I was about ten years old, my brother and I received a great gift—a basketball. But the problem was there wasn’t a basketball court (球场) near our home.

One Saturday morning, my brother came up with a good idea. He said, “Hey, let’s take our ball to the school to play.”

I thought it was a great idea, so I agreed. When we arrived at the school, we started playing. But suddenly, something terrible happened. The ball got out of control and hit through one of the classroom windows, breaking the glass into pieces. We looked around and saw that nobody was there, except for an old man sitting nearby.

I whispered to my brother, “What should we do now?”

“Well,” my brother replied, “Nobody saw us, except for that old man. But he probably can’t see this far, and he doesn’t know who we are anyway.”

As we got the ball and started going home, we talked about whether we should tell Mom and Dad what had happened. Would we get punished for our mistake? Or should we just keep it a secret? We thought about these things again and again on our way home.
