Question

阅读理解

As a reader, I, as many other book lovers do, often leave with a long sigh after visiting a bookstore. The prices printed on book jackets keep reminding me how thin my wallet is.

The price of books is now so high that I hesitate before buying a book I love. Many people feel the same way. But I remember that only a few years ago, when I was a college student, I bought several books almost every month, using what was left out of the living expenses sent by my parents, and that was not more than 200 yuan.

But now that I am working and the money I earn is only used to support my own expenses, I find I can’t afford many good books.

There is a saying, “Book lovers have no money, but rich people have no feelings for books”. This is exactly the case. Sometimes I wonder about who the books are published for, especially those books with beautiful hard covers.

It is said that usually, the listed price is more than twice as much as the book’s cost and we can see high profits from selling books. But now there is a contradiction. On one hand, readers who want to buy books aren’t able to, while on the other hand, publishers and sellers suffer from the large stockpiles of unsaleable books being stored in their warehouses. This situation is also a disadvantage to intellectual property right protection because many books of bestsellers are sold at a lower price at some bookstands.

The key to resolve the problem is to cut the price to an acceptable level to both sellers and consumers.

I wish sincerely that in the near future common readers like me can buy the books we want without worrying about the high prices too much.

Answer 1

答案：1A2A3D4C5D
解析：

1、该题考查段落主旨，文章第一段提供了议论文的论据，书价过高。 2、But I remember that only a few years ago, when I was a college student, I bought several books almost every month…根据这句可知，本题选A。 3、该题考查句意猜测，由作者对书价上涨的观点可推知，爱书人无钱买喜爱之书，而有钱人却未必对书感兴趣。 4、这段是说书的价钱太高对出版者和卖书者没有什么好处，故选C。 5、该题考查文章主旨，作者的写作目的在于：呼吁有关部门降低书价，以便使更多的爱书人能畅游于书的海洋。
