（7）阅读理解
For many of us, printed books are satisfying in ways beyond the words they contain. Billions of printed books have been published, read and saved in the 600 years since movable type was invented, so why mess with a good things?
Sony Electronics is doing just that, betting that readers will be won over by the convenience of readability of its new electronic book devices. Sony's reader, the PRS-505, can hold 160 books in its fixed memory, enough to line the shelves on a good-sized wall in the average American home. The $299 device is about the size of a paperback book, but a half-inch thick and weighs less than a pound.
The Sony book reader is revolutionary not only in its storage capacity. The font（字体） is highly readable and adjustable by size. Unlike laptop computers, you can put the Sony in your purse, read it in direct sunlight and even bookmark the pages. And you can connect it to your PC to download books.
Surprisingly, though the reader has liberated the book from paper, electronic books aren't always a bargain. For example, David Baldacci's "Stone Cold" download retails（零售） for $15.19 at the Sony site, while Amazon（卓越网） will deliver a hard copy to your mailbox for $16.19.
The Sony reader also lets you store and play or display music. So what's not to like about the Sony? Well, for many bibliophiles, a lot. Book lovers like to have, hold and keep their volumes, which don't need charging. You can write notes in the margins, and enjoy the ambience they provide on your book shelves.
The need for electronic reading devices is likely to grow as more people worried about the billions of tons of paper used for printed material. Many believe the time will come when devices like the Sony reader are as common as printed newspapers and magazines today.
1．What would be the best title for the passage?
A. The age of the electronic book reader is coming
B. Printed books are out of date
C. The Sony reader meets many readers’ needs
D. The revolution in book readers
2．According to the passage, the Sony book reader _________.
A. is as light as a laptop computer
B. can hold more than 200 books
C. is convenient to carry around
D. cannot be connected to a PC
3．What is the author’s point when he mentions “Stone Cold”?
A. Amazon’s printed books are very cheap
B. “Stone Cold” can be got from the Sony site and Amazon
C. The Sony book reader is not very cheap to use
D. The Sony book reader can benefit its buyers a lot
4．The underlined word “bibliophiles” in Paragraph 5 refers to “__________”.
A. music lovers                                  B. book lovers
C. electronic reading devices        D. Sony readers
5．According to the author, what’s the future for the electronic reading devices?
A. They’ll replace printed newspapers and magazines
B. They’ll still be more expensive than printed newspapers
C. They’ll become a must in people’s daily life
D. They’ll become more popular as time goes on

     For years children in the industrial areas of Europe and America seldom left their smoky cities to see
the beauty of the countryside.Not that the woods and fields were always far away, but they were too far
from the city to permit people to make a round trip between morning and nightfall.What's more, factory
workers did not have enough money to send their children on country holidays away from home.
     In 1907 a young German schoolmaster had an idea which changed this state of affairs.He decided to
turn his little schoolhouse into a dormitory for the summer holidays.Anyone who brought his sleeping bag
and cooking equipment along could stay there for a very small amount of money.The idea was a success.A few years later the schoolhouse was far too small to hold so many young people who wanted to stay there.So, a dormitory was set up in an old castle nearby.This was the first Youth Hostel.
     Today young students and workers of every country can meet in the hostels and get to know each
other.Some spend a week or more in the same hostel, seeing the surrounding sights and meeting the people of the area.Other youths go on foot or by bicycle from place to place, spending a night or two in one
hostel, then going to the next.
     Sometimes an informal program will be organized after the meal, with dances, songs, or short talks
followed by a question period.One can learn a lot about other places, just by meeting people who come
from these places.For this reason, a few weeks spent "hostelling" can be just as useful a part of one's
education as classes in school.
1.  The reason why children in the industrial areas seldom left their smoky cities was that ________.
A.  they didn't like the beauty of the countryside at all
B.  their parents' income was not high enough to pay for the cost
C.  they couldn't make a round trip between morning and nightfall because of the distance
D.  Both B & C
2.  Paragraph 2 mainly tells us ________.
A.  how the first Youth Hostel began
B.  how to turn little schoolhouse into a dormitory for the summer holidays
C.  what the students should carry when spending summer holidays in the countryside
D.  the reason why spending summer holidays in the countryside
3.  According to the passage,, the following are the mentioned advantages of hostelling EXCEPT
________.
A.  enjoying the beauty of the countryside
B.  broadening their outlook and knowledge
C.  making new friends
D.  avoiding doing their homework
4.  用30词左右概括文章大意

     For six hours we shot through the landscape of the Karoo desert in South Africa. Just rocks and sand
and baking sun. Knowing our journey was ending,  Daniel and I just wanted to remember all we had seen and done. He used a camera. I used words. I had already finished three notebooks and was into the
fourth, a beautiful leather notebook I'd bought in a market in Mozambique.
     Southern Africa was full of storier and visions. We were almost drunk on sensations. The roaring of the water at Victoria Falls, the impossible silence of the Okavango Delta in Botswana. And then the other
things: dogs in the streets, whole families in Soweto living in one room, a kilometre from clean water.
As we drove towards the setting sun, a quietness fell over us. The road was empty--we  hadn't seen
another car for hours. And as I drove, something caught my eye, something moving next to me. I glanced
in the mirror of the car; I glanced sideways to the right, and that was when I saw them. Next to us, by the
side of the road, thirty, forty wild horses were racing the car, a cloud of dust rising behind them－brown, muscular horses almost close enough to touch them, to smell their hot breath. I didn't know how long they had been there next to us.
     I shouted to Dan: "Look!",  but he was in a deep sleep, his camera lying useless by his feet.
     They raced the car for a few seconds, then disappeared far behind us, a memory of heroic_forms in the red landscape. When Daniel woke up an hour later I told him what had happened.
     "Wild horses?" he said. "Why didn't you wake me up?"
     "I tried. But they were gone after a few seconds."
     "Are you sure you didn't dream it?"
     "You were the one who was sleeping!"
     Typical, he said. "The best photos are the ones we never take."
     We checked into a dusty hotel and slept the sleep of the dead.
1. During their journey in Africa, the two travellers________.
A. made friends with local residents
B. complained about the poor living conditions
C. enjoyed the sunset in the Karoo desert most
D. recorded their experiences in different ways
2. What does the phrase"heroic forms" in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A. Racing cars.
B. Wild horses.
C. Eye－catching locals.
D. Running dogs.
3. What did Daniel think when he woke up and was told what had happened?
A. He always missed out on the best thing.
B. He had already taken beautiful pictures.
C. A sound sleep was more important.
D. The next trip would be better.
4. What is the passage mainly about?
A. How to view wildlife in Africa.
B. Running into wildlife in Africa.
C. Tourist attractions in southern Africa.
D. Possible dangers of travelling in the desert
