Ten years ago, many people thought that the age of physical books (纸质书) was coming to an end. The objects that had been the companions (伙伴) millions of 11 for hundreds of years were going to die out. Soon, we'd all be reading on little electronic screens and laughing at the memory of places called " 12 " and "bookshops".
But it seems not true about the idea of the death of physical books. At least in the UK, as The Guarding noted, sales of e-books are falling while sales of physical books are 13 . More surprisingly, it's young people who are buying the most physical books. More than 60 percent of 16-to-24-year-olds 14 print books to e-books. There are many reasons and the most popular one is "I would like to 15 the product."
Books become very personal objects to book-lovers. It often starts 16 they get the books. Many buyers of books like to write down their names on the inside cover when they've bought one just to show that the book is their personal thing. And they 17 books around with them everywhere.
If there is a mark made on the page from coffee or food, it doesn't matter. These small 18
make our banks even more personal. It's just like readers of physical books make friends with them.
The "friendship" 19 people develop with books isn't just about feelings. Research has shown that readers remember more information from reading physical books than electronic ones.
However, there is no 20 that e-books are here to stay. They aren't simply a "here today, gone tomorrow" thing. But it's also certain that physical books, which have been in production since the fifteenth century, are here to stay too.

三、阅读理解
(A)
Many textbooks are not written in the kind of English that we speak every day. In fact, sometimes the reading is so difficult that it almost seems like a foreign language. In a way, it is the language of science. You should not expect to be able to read a difficult science passage the same way you read an interesting story; you should not expect to read it easily and all at once. Instead, you may have to read it several times through, catching on the meaning of difficult words, going back over difficult sentences, and finally putting the whole thing together. Do not be discouraged if the whole massage doesn't make sense to you at first. You need to pick it apart patiently until you can understand it. These are the steps to fallow when you are reading something difficult:
1. Start to read normally until you run into a sentence that doesn't make sense to you.
2. When a sentence doesn't make sense, go back and read it again more slowly.
3. Look for any word you don't know in the sentence. Try to understand their meanings using word parts and context clues. If necessary, look them up in the dictionary.
4. Look at the next few sentences to see if they explain more about the sentence you are working on. Do not read much farther ahead until you understand what is being said.
5. Finally, read the sentence again. Try to put it into simpler words.
6. Read through the passage once. Try to understand all the hard parts well. Then read the whole passage once more at a usual speed. This helps you to put all ideas together.
The steps sound a lot harder than they are. It is really just the normal way good readers understand anything that is difficult to read. After you have done the best you can this way, you should always feel free to ask your teacher for help.
( )21. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 mean
A. If you don't like the passage, don't be sad.
B. Reading difficult passages helps students to be good readers.
C. You'd better try your best to catch the meaning of the passage.
D. Don't give up if you can't understand the passage in the beginning.
( )22. How many Steps are given when you are reading something difficult
A. Four. B. Five. C. Six. D. Seven.
( )23.What can we know from the passage
A. We should lank up new words before reading.
B. It is sometimes difficult to read a science passage.
C. The steps are helpful in learning spoken English.
D. Interesting stories help readers to improve their English.
( )24. What is the passage mainly about
A. Steps of studying science.
B. Difficulties in reading science.
C. Ways of reading science passages.
D. Researches on science and English.

As we all know, too much trash a big problem for our environment. A woman in Indonesia's Java island has came up with a great idea—lending books to children in exchange for trash.
Radon Roro Hendarti, nearly 50 years old, is a librarian in Muntang village. She started a "trash library", hoping to make children read more as well as make them realize the importance of environment protection. Each weekday, Radon puts all kinds of books on the back of her three-wheeler (三轮车) and rides to Muntang village. There, children line up to exchange plastic cups, bags and other trash for books from Raden's mobile library. After finishing the exchange, Raden carries back all the trash.
In the library where Radon works, there are thousands of books. Every time she shows up, children run to her "trash library". They all carry trash bags, and Radon's three-wheeler quickly fills with trash as the books fly out. Radon collects about 100 kg of trash each week. It is then sorted out (分类) and sent for recycling or sale. She is happy that children spend less time on online games because of the books.
Radon plans to take the mobile library service to neighbouring areas as well. She says, "We all should take care of our trash in order to light climate (气候) change and save the Earth."
( )25. What does the underlined word "trash" mean
A. Plastic. B. Rubbish. C. Paper. D. Information.
( )26. Which of the following shows how Radon's idea works

A. About 100 kg. B. About 50 kg.
C. About 25 kg. D. About 20 kg.
( )28. What's Radon going to do next
