What is a book nowadays in a world of diverse 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 isn't so simple. For one thing, digital publishers have the same problem that traditional publishers do: piracy(盗版行为).
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 as fixed as 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 precisely get to test and price them differently,” Raccah says. That was 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, you will find it full of links. Links to iTunes, where you can purchase 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 tradition of giving e-books,” says Raccah. Despite all the advances in reading technology, physical books are still the best Christmas presents.
4.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.
5.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.
6.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.
7.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.

Part 4 LESSON 3 THE ADVERTISING GAME
基础过关练
Ⅰ.1.budget 2.originated 3.agencies 4.sponsor
Ⅱ.1.make a contribution to 2.stand out 3.gone through 4.consist of
Ⅲ.1.to 考查固定搭配。attract sb. to...意为“引起某人对……的好感”,为固定搭配。故填to。句意:她首先吸引我的是她的不可思议的生活经历。
2.advertisement 考查名词。根据设空处前面的定冠词the可知此处应用名词。advertisement意为“广告”,符合语境。故填advertisement。句意:如果我及时看到广告,我就申请这份工作了。
3.in 考查介词。participate in意为“参加,参与”,符合语境。故填in。句意:我们鼓励学生全面参与学院的运作。
4.freedom 考查名词。根据设空处前面的定冠词the可知此处应用名词。故填freedom。句意:自行车给予人们汽车所不能提供的自由。
5.suitable 考查形容词。根据设空处前面的冠词a和设空处后面的名词job可知此处应用形容词。故填suitable。
6.competitive 考查形容词。设空处后面是名词advantage,所以用形容词作定语修饰名词。故填competitive。句意:只有抑制成本,这家公司才能保持其与其他公司相比的竞争优势。
Ⅳ.题型(一)
1.drinking 句意:他习惯起床后喝一瓶牛奶。be used to doing sth.习惯做某事,故填drinking。
2.to write 句意:钢笔是用来写字的。be used to do sth.被用来做某事,故填to write。
3.be cut 句意:为了让树健康生长,树枝会被砍掉。would是情态动词,其后用动词原形,主语branches与cut off之间为被动关系,所以用被动语态。故填be cut。
题型(二) 1.Mother would be 2.used to walk
Ⅴ.1.not everyone 2.linked arms 3.combined with
能力提升练
Ⅰ.1.types 考查名词复数。根据前面的基数词two可知,此处用名词复数。故填types。
2.to advertise 考查不定式。根据语境可知,此处用动词不定式表示目的。故填to advertise。
易错归因
此处易错填advertising。注意are paid for是pay for的被动形式,Commercial ads是其宾语,所以不能误以为for后缺宾语而用advertise的动名词形式advertising。
3.of 考查固定搭配。free of charge意为“免费”,为固定搭配。故填of。
4.safety 考查名词。设空处与名词health并列,都作介词about的宾语,应用名词。故填safety。
5.has 考查主谓一致。分析句子结构可知,that引导定语从句并在从句中作主语,定语从句中谓语动词的单复数由先行词any other problem决定,所以用单数。故填has。
6.teaching 考查动名词。aim at doing sth.意为“力求做某事”。故填teaching。
7.seeing 考查现在分词。分析句子结构可知,此处为“连词+分词”结构作状语,提示词see与其逻辑主语we之间为主动关系,故设空处应用现在分词。故填seeing。
8.which/that 考查关系词。分析句子结构可知,此处为定语从句,从句缺少主语,先行词为methods。故填关系代词which或that。
9.us 考查人称代词。设空处作sell的间接宾语,应用宾格形式。故填us。
10.the 考查冠词。“some advertisements play”为定语从句,修饰先行词tricks,所以这里是特指。故填定冠词the。
Ⅱ.◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了广告的发展和作用等。
1.painted 考查过去分词。分析句子可知,has become是句子谓语,此空应用非谓语动词作后置定语,修饰名词advertisements,paint和被修饰词之间是被动关系,故用过去分词作后置定语,故填painted。
2.have grown 考查时态和主谓一致。主句是固定句型“so+助动词+主语”,表示“……也一样”,结合“so have advertisements”推断此处用现在完成时,从句主语channels是复数形式,故填have grown。
3.or 考查连词。根据语境可知前后是选择关系,故填or。
4.boosting 考查现在分词。分析句子可知,will create是句子的谓语,此处用非谓语动词形式作状语,表示自然而然的结果,所以用现在分词,故填boosting。
5.into 考查介词。persuade sb. into doing sth.表示“劝说某人做某事”,故填into。
6.memorable 考查形容词。设空处修饰名词slogan,应用形容词作定语,根据语境可知此处表示“难忘的”,故填memorable。
7.placement 考查名词。分析句子可知,设空处作主语,应用名词形式,product placement表示“产品软性广告”。故填placement。
8.are tailored 考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。分析句子可知,that引导限制性定语从句且在从句中作主语,先行词为advertisements,是复数形式,与tailor之间是被动关系,文章主时态是一般现在时,所以此处应用一般现在时的被动语态,故填are tailored。
9.what 考查宾语从句。分析句子可知,see缺少宾语,此处无提示词,因此推知设空处引导宾语从句,在从句中作介词in的宾语,表示“……的东西”,故填what。
10.more efficiently 考查副词比较级。设空处修饰动词target,应用副词形式,结合“make them feel more valued”可知,此处应用副词比较级形式,故填more efficiently。
【高频词汇】 1.hand in hand密切关联;手拉手
2.desire n.欲望 3.individual adj.个人的 4.efficient adj.效率高的;有能力的 5.have a positive effect on...对……有积极影响
【熟词生义】 target v.针对
【差距词汇】 1.slogan n.标语 2.ambassador n.大使
长难句
原句 Not only will this make them feel more valued and enable them to see what they are most interested in, but it will also help companies target their customers more efficiently to have a positive effect on sales.
分析 本句是not only...but also...连接的并列复合句。“Not only...”在前,构成倒装,see后接what引导的宾语从句。
译文 这不仅会让他们感到更被重视,让他们能看到自己最感兴趣的是什么,而且还会帮助公司更有效地定位他们的客户,从而对销售产生积极的影响。

5.B 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Ten years ago, a publisher would have sent out its books to the bookstore...the publisher couldn't put a book on sale to sell more copies.”可推知,提到10年前的出版情况是为了表明当时的销售方式不够灵活。故选B。
6.C 细节理解题。根据第四段中的第三句“In the middle of November, Little, Brown and Company dropped the price from $9.99 to $2.99 for 24 hours.”可知,An Unfinished Life: John F. Kennedy这本书在11月中旬的某天折扣力度很大。故选C。

译文 今年我们超过了去年(的业绩),我之前甚至认为这是不可能的。
