Can Digital Textbook Truly Replace the Print Kind?
The shortcomings of traditional print edition textbooks are obvious: Forstarters they're heavy, with the average physics textbook weighing 3.6 pounds.They're also expensive, especially when you factor in the average collegestudent's limited budget, typically costing hundreds of dollars every semester.
But the worst part is that print version of textbooks are constantlyundergoing revisions. Many professors require that their students use only thelatest versions in the classroom, essentially rendering older texts unusable.For students, it means they're basically stuck with a four pound paper-weightthat they can't sell back.
Which is why digital textbooks, if they live up to their promise, couldhelp ease many of these shortcomings. But till now, they've been something likea mirage (幻影) in the distance,more like a hazy (模糊的) dream thanan actual reality. Imagine the promise: Carrying all your textbooks in a 1.3pound iPad? It sounds almost too good to be true.
But there are a few pilot schools already making the transition (過度) over to digital books. Universities like Cornell and Brown havejumped onboard. And one medical program at the University of California,Irvine, gave their entire class iPads with which to download textbooks justlast year.
But not all were eager to jump aboard.
"People were tired of using the iPad textbook besides using it forreading," says Kalpit Shah, who will be going into his second year atlrvine's medical program this fall. "They weren't using it as a source ofcommunication because they couldn't read or write in it. So a third of thepeople in my program were using the iPad in class to take notes, the otherthird were using laptops and the last third were using paper and pencil."
The reason it hasn't caught on yet, he tells me, is that thefunctionality of e-edition textbooks is incredibly limited, and some studentsjust aren't motivated to learn new study behavior.
But a new application called Inkling might change all that. The companyjust released an updated version last week, and it'll be utilized in over 50undergraduate and graduate classrooms this coming school year.
Digital textbooks are not going to catch on," says Inkling CEO MattMaclnnis as he's giving me a demo (演示) over coffee. "What I mean by that is the current perspectiveof the digital textbook is it's an exact copy of the print book. There's CourseSmart, etc., these guys who take any image of the page and put it on a screen.If that's how we're defining digital textbooks, there's no hope of that becominga mainstream product."
He calls Inkling a platform for publishers to build rich multimediacontent from the ground up, with a heavy emphasis on real-world functionality.The traditional textbook merely serves as a skeleton.
At first glance Inkling is an impressive experience. After swiping (敲擊) into the iPad app (軟件), which youcan get for free here, he opens up a few different types of textbooks.
Up first is a chemistry book. The boot time is pretty fast, and henavigates through (瀏覽) a fewchapters before swiping into a fully rendered 3D molecule that can be spunaround to view its various building blocks. "Publishers give us all of thesource media, artwork, videos," he says, "We help them think throughhow to actually build something for this platform."
Next he pulls up a music composition textbook, complete with playabledemos. It's a learning experience that attacks you from multiple sensorydirections. It's clear why this would be something a music major would love.
But the most exciting part about Inkling, to me, is its notation (批注) system. Here's how it works!
When you purchase a used print book, it comes with its previous owner'shighlights and notes in the margins. It uses the experience of someone whoalready went through the class to help improve your reading (how much you trusteach notation is obviously up to you).
But with lnkling, you can highlight a piece of content and make notes.Here's where things get interesting, though: If a particularly importantpassage is highlighted by multiple lnkling users, that infbrmation is stored onthe cloud and is available for anyone reading the same textbook to come across.Thai means users have access to notes from not only their classmates andFacebook friends, but anyone who purchased the book across the country. Thebest comments are then sorted democratically by a voting system, meaning thatyour social learning experience is shared with the best and brightest thinkers.
As a bonus, professors can even chime in (插話) on discussions. They'll be able to answer the questions ofstudents who are in their class directly via the interactive book.
Of course, Inkling addresses several of the other shortcomings intraditional print as well. Textbook versions are constanly updated, motivatingpublishers by minimizing production costs (the big ones like McGraw-Hill arealready onboard). Furthermore, students will be able to purchase sections ofthe text instead of buying the whole thing, with individual chapters costing aslittle as $2.99,
There are, however, challenges.
"It takes efforts to build each book," Maclnnis tells me. Andit's clear why,
Each interactive textbook is a media-heavy experience built from theground up, and you can tell that it takes a respectable amount of manpower toput together each one.
For now the app is also iPad-exclusive, and though a few of theseeducational institutions are giving the hardware away for free, for otherstudents who don't have such a luxury it's an added layer of cost ---and anexpensive one at that.
But this much is clear. The traditional textbook model is and has beenbroken for quite some time. Whether digitally interactive ones like Inklingactually take off or not remains to be seen, and we probably won't have adefinite answer for the next few years.
However the solution to any problem begins with a step in a direction.And at least for now, that hazy mirage in the distance? A little more tangible(可觸摸的), a little less of a dream.

Section B 57、Questions57-62 are based on the following passage. Junk food is everywhere. We're eating way too much of it. Most of us know what we're doing and yet we do it anyway. So here's a suggestion offered by two researchers at the Rand Corporation: Why not take a lesson from alcohol control policies and apply them to where food is sold and how it's displayed? "Many policy measures to control obesity (肥胖癥．a(chǎn)ssume that people consciously and rationally choose what and how much they eat and therefore focus on providing information and more access to healthier foods," note the two researchers. "In contrast," the researchers continue, "many regulations that don't assume people make rational choices have been successfully applied to control alcohol, a substance -- like food -- of which immoderate consumption leads to serious health problems." The research references studies of people's behavior with food and alcohol and results of alcohol restrictions, and then lists five regulations that the researchers think might be promising if applied to junk foods. Among them: Density restrictions: licenses to sell alcohol aren't handed out unplanned to all comers but are allotted (分配．based on the number of places in an area that already sell alcohol. These make alcohol less easy to get and reduce the number of psychological cues to drink. Similarly, the researchers say, being presented with junk food stimulates our desire to eat it. So why not limit the density of food outlets, particularly ones that sell food rich in empty calories? And why not limit sale of food in places that aren't primarily food stores? Display and sales restrictions: California has a rule prohibiting alcohol displays near the cash registers in gas stations, and in most places you can't buy alcohol at drive-through facilities. At supermarkets, food companies pay to have their wares in places where they're easily seen. One could remove junk food to the back of the store and ban them from the shelves at checkout lines. The other measures include restricting portion sizes, taxing and prohibiting special price deals for junk foods, and placing warning labels on the products.
What does the author say about junk food? A．People should be educated not to eat too much. B．It is widely consumed despite its ill reputation. C．Its temptation is too strong for people to resist. D．It causes more harm than is generally realized.
58、What do the Rand researchers think of many of the policy measures to control obesity? A．They should be implemented effectively． B．They provide misleading information. C．They are based on wrong assumptions． D．They help people make rational choices.
59、Why do policymakers of alcohol control place density restrictions? A．Few people are able to resist alcohol's temptations. B．There are already too many stores selling alcohol. C．Drinking strong alcohol can cause social problems. D．Easy access leads to customers' over-consumption.
60、What is the purpose of California's rule about alcohol display in gas stations? A．To effectively limit the density of alcohol outlets. B．To help drivers to give up the habit of drinking. C．To prevent possible traffic jams in nearby areas. D．To get alcohol out of drivers' immediate sight.
61、What is the general guideline the Rand researchers suggest about junk food control? A．Guiding people to make rational choices about food. B．Enhancing people's awareness of their own health. C．Borrowing ideas from alcohol control measures. D．Resorting to economic, legal and psychological means.
62、Questions62-67 are based on the following passage. Kodak's decision tofile for bankruptcy (破產(chǎn))protectionis a sad, though not unexpected, turning point for a leading Americancorporation that pioneered consumer photography and dominated the film marketfor decades, but ultimately failed to adapt to the digital revolution. Although manyattribute Kodak's downfall to "complacency (自滿)," that explanation doesn't acknowledge thelengths to which the company went to reinvent itself. Decades ago, Kodakanticipated that digital photography would overtake film - and in fact, Kodakinvented the first digital camera in 1975 --- but in a fateful decision, thecompany chose to shelf its new discovery to focus on its traditional filmbusiness. It wasn't that Kodakwas blind to the future, said Rebecca Henderson, a professor at HarvardBusiness School, but rather that it failed to execute on a strategy to confrontit. By the time the company realized its mistake, it was too late. Kodak is an exampleof a firm that was very much aware that they had to adapt, and spent a lot ofmoney trying to do so, but ultimately failed. Large companies have a difficulttime switching into new markets because there is a temptation to put existingassets into the new businesses. Although Kodakanticipated the inevitable rise of digital photography, its corporate (企業(yè)的) culture was too rooted in thesuccesses of the past for it to make the clean break necessary to fully embracethe future. They were a company stuck in time. Their history was so importantto them. Now their history has become a liability. Kodak's downfallover the last several decades was dramatic. In 1976, the company commanded 90%of the market for photographic film and 85% of the market for cameras. But the1980s brought new competition from Japanese film company Fuji Photo, whichundermined Kodak by offering lower prices for film and photo supplies. Kodak'sdecision not to pursue the role of official film for the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics was a major miscalculation. The bid went instead to Fuji, whichexploited its sponsorship to win a permanent foothold in the marketplace.
What do we learn about Kodak? A．It went bankrupt all of a sudden． B．It is approaching its downfall. C．It initiated the digital revolution in the film industry. D．It is playing a dominant role in the film market.
63、Why does the author mention Kodak's invention of the first digital camera? A．To show its early attempt to reinvent itself. B．To show its effort to overcome complacency. C．To show its quick adaptation to the digital revolution. D．To show its will to compete with Japan's Fuji photo.
64、Why do large companies have difficulty switching to new markets? A．They find it costly to give up their existing assets. B．They tend to be slow in confronting new challenges. C．They are unwilling to invest in new technology. D．They are deeply stuck in their glorious past.
65、What does the author say Kodak's history has become? A．A burden． B．A mirror． C．A joke． D．A challenge.
66、What was Kodak's fatal mistake? A．Its blind faith in traditional photography． B．Its failure to see Fuji photo's emergence. C．Its refusal to sponsor the 1984 Olympics． D．Its overconfidence in its corporate culture.

參考答案及詳細(xì)解析： Part II Reading Comprehension(Skimming and Scanning) 1. 系統(tǒng)解析：【譯文劃線點評】 電子教材能否真正取代紙質(zhì)書籍? 傳統(tǒng)印刷版教材的缺點是顯而易見的：首先，他們很重，每本物理教材的平均重量是3．6磅。他們還很昂貴，尤其是當(dāng)你考慮到普通高校學(xué)生有限的預(yù)算時，這些書費每學(xué)期要花費數(shù)百美元。 【1】但糟糕的是，教材的印刷版本一直在進行修訂。許多教授要求他們的學(xué)生在課堂上只使用新的版本，基本上舊版本都無法使用。而對于學(xué)生來說，這意味著他們四磅重的紙砸在手里了，沒辦法再賣出去。 [21這就是為什么如果電子教 材能名副其實的話，可能有助于緩解許多這樣的缺點。但到目前為止。他們卻像遠(yuǎn)方的海市蜃樓，更像是 一個朦朧的夢，而不是真實的現(xiàn)實。試想一下電子教材的，把所有的教材存在1．3磅的iPad里面?聽起來太美好了，讓人難以置信。 但也有少數(shù)旗艦學(xué)校要過渡到數(shù)字圖書。像康奈爾大學(xué)和布朗大學(xué)已經(jīng)加入這一行列。在加州大學(xué)爾灣分校的一個醫(yī)療項目上，給了整個班級可以下載去年教材的iPad。 但并不是所有的學(xué)校都急于加入。 今年秋天會是Kalpit Shah進入到爾灣醫(yī)療項目的第二年，他說“除了用它來閱讀以外，人們已經(jīng)厭倦了使用iPad教材。【3】他們不能用它作為進行交流的資源，因為大家不能在上面閱讀或者寫。一所以，在我的項目上有三分之一的同學(xué)使用iPad在課堂上記筆記，其他三分之一的人用筆記本電腦，還有三分之一的學(xué)生，用鉛筆和紙做筆記?！? 他告訴我，原因尚來查明，電子版教材的功能有限得令人難以置信，有的學(xué)生只是沒有動力去學(xué)新的學(xué)習(xí)習(xí)慣。 但是，一個被稱為Inklin9的新應(yīng)用程序可能會改變這一切。該公司上周剛剛發(fā)布了一個更新過的版本，在接下來的這個學(xué)年，它會被用在50多個本科和研究生的教室里。 “電子教材不會流行起來。”Inkling公司的總裁Matt clrmis一邊喝咖啡，一邊給我做演示時說道。[41“我的意思是，目前來看電子教材只是印刷書的精神副本像Course Smart等等，他們會把每一頁拍下來，、然后放在屏幕上。如果這是我們對電子教材書籍的定義的話，那么電子教材將沒有希望成為主流產(chǎn)品。” 【5】他把Inking稱為一個平臺，為出版商們構(gòu)建豐富的多媒體資源，而且非常注重對現(xiàn)實世界的功能。傳統(tǒng)的教材只是作為一個骨架。 乍一看，Inkling是一個令人印象深刻的體驗。在敲擊進入iPad應(yīng)用程序之后，您可以在這里免費獲得他所開放的幾個不同類型的教材。 第一個是化學(xué)書。加載時間是相當(dāng)快的，在確定之前，他通過瀏覽幾個章節(jié)，形成一個完全渲染的3D模型，你可繞著查看：各種基礎(chǔ)材料。他說，“出版商給我們所有的源媒體，藝術(shù)箍、視頻等，我們幫助他們思考如何真正為這個平臺建立一些東西?！? 接著，他翻出了音樂創(chuàng)作教材，完成播放演示。它可以從多個感官的方向影響你的學(xué)習(xí)經(jīng)歷。很明顯，這是能讓主修音樂的人很喜歡的原因。 【6】但對我來說,Inkling讓我興奮的部分是批注系統(tǒng)。下面給大家講一下它是如何工作的! 當(dāng)您購買了一本二手書，它上面有先前所有者批注的重點，和空白處的筆記。你可以用已學(xué)過這本書的人的經(jīng)驗來幫助提高你的閱讀能力(至于你在多大程度上相信這些筆記符號，完全取決予你自己)。 但是如果你有Inkling的話，你可以突出顯示一塊內(nèi)容，然后做筆記，這樣會讓學(xué)習(xí)變得有趣，雖然：如果特別重要的段落被Inkling的多個用戶都標(biāo)記過，這些信息是存儲在云存儲上的，任何閱讀相同教材的人都可以看?！?】那意味著用戶不僅可以看到他們的同學(xué)，F(xiàn)acebook上的朋友做的筆記，還可以看糾在全國各地購買這本教材的任何人所做的筆記。好的注解，通過民主的投票系統(tǒng)被記錄下來，這意味著你的社會學(xué)習(xí)經(jīng)驗將和棒、聰明的思恕家加—起共享。 【7】作為一項額外的害處，教授們甚至可以在討論中插話。他們能通過這種互動式的書直接回答班上學(xué)生提出的問題。當(dāng)然，lnking還能解決傳統(tǒng)印刷的一些其他的缺點。教材版本不斷更新，激勵出版商大限度地減少生產(chǎn)成本(麥格勞一希爾等大公司已經(jīng)加入)，此外，學(xué)生將能夠以每章節(jié)2．99美元的價格購買一本書的部分章節(jié)，而無需購買整本書。 但是這也有挑戰(zhàn)?！斑@需要努力打造每一本書，”Maclnnis告訴我。原因顯而易見。 【8】每個互動教材是一個從零開始的多重媒體經(jīng)驗的構(gòu)成，你可以說，每一個電子教材都需要相當(dāng)可觀的人力才能把這些資源整合在一起。 【9】目前該軟件還是iPad獨有的，盡管這些教育機構(gòu)中免費提供硬件，但是對于其他無法享受這種奢侈的學(xué)生來說，這會是額外的花費——而且是非常昂貴的一項費用。但是，這相當(dāng)明顯。傳統(tǒng)的教材模式正在，甚至是已經(jīng)被打破相當(dāng)長的一段時間了。 【10】無論是像Inking這樣的數(shù)字互動應(yīng)用程序能夠騰飛活著消失匿跡，我們可能在未來幾年還不會有一個明確的答案。然而，任何問題的解決都是從某個方向的一個步驟開始的。至少到目前為止。遠(yuǎn)處那個朦朧的海市蜃樓？多了一點可觸摸東西，少了一些夢幻的色彩。 【答案解析】 A。細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)題干中的the biggest problem定位至文章第二段首句。由“But the worst part is that print editions of textbooks are constantly undergoing revisions”可知，印刷版的教材大的問題是不斷進行修訂。
Part I Writing 1. 系統(tǒng)解析： 【寫作提示】 這是一篇看圖作文。從圖畫的內(nèi)容我們可V2-看出文章的主題是說做小事很重要。作文可分為三段：第一段可以要簡單描繪圖畫內(nèi)客；作文的第二段論述從小事做起的重要性，并才指出具體原因；作文第三段再次強調(diào)白己的觀點，指出從小事做起才能更好地做大事。 【寫作范文】 Doing Small Things Is Important Fromthis picture, we can see the boy is worried about disposing of nuclear waste.However, his father thinks he should empty the dustbin first. Maybe some peoplethink highly of the boy because he cares about the environment. But I agreewith the :father. Only if we do every small thing well can we deal withsomething great. Doingsmall things is of great importance. On one hand, by doing so, we are able toaccumulate experience and master essential skills. We must be fully preparedbefore we do something big. No matter what kind of situation we are facing, wecan handle it well. On the other hand, doing small things also helps to developgood habits. If so, we can be more calm and know exactly what to do and how todo when we meet something difficult or important. Those who can do small things perfectlyare more likely to make achievements. Doing small things enable us to learnbasic skills to do something big. Therefore, we should try our best even whenwe're doing small things. 【范文翻譯】 做小事很重要 從這幅圖中，我{門可以看到男孩在擔(dān)心核廢料的處理。然而，他的父親認(rèn)為他應(yīng)該先把垃圾桶清空?；蛟S有人對男孩評價很高，因為他關(guān)心環(huán)境。但是我同意他父親的看法。我們只有把每件小事都做好，才能處理好大事。 做小事很重要。一方面，這樣做的話，我們能夠積累經(jīng)驗，掌握必要的技能。在做大事之前我們必須做好充分的準(zhǔn)備。不管我們面臨什么情況，我們都可以很好地處理。另一方面，做小事對養(yǎng)成好習(xí)慣也很有幫助。如果這樣的話，在遇到困難或者大事時，我們可以更加冷靜，會明白我們應(yīng)該做什么，以及怎么做。 那些可以把小事做得很完美的人更有可能取得成就。做小事可以讓我們學(xué)會做大事的基本技能。因此，即使是做小事，我們也要全力以赴。
Part II Reading Comprehension(Skimming and Scanning) 2. 系統(tǒng)解析：B。 細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)題干中的digital textbooks可以定位至文章的第三段。由開頭的“which is why digital textbooks，if they live up to their promise，could help ease many of these shortcomings．But till now, they’ve been something like a mirage in the distance”可知，電子教材的功能并沒有完全實現(xiàn)，沒能解決紙質(zhì)書的所有問題。
Part I Writing 2. 系統(tǒng)解析： 【寫作提示】 這是一篇看圖作文。從圖畫的內(nèi)容我們可以看出話題是文學(xué)閱讀的重要性。作文可分為三段：第一段簡單才苗給圖畫的內(nèi)容；第二段論述為什么說文學(xué)閱讀很重要，并指出具體原因，闡述丈學(xué)閱讀的好處；第三段再次強調(diào)自己的觀點，拈出要多閱讀文學(xué)作品。 【寫作范文】 The Importance of Reading Literature As is humorously portrayed in the cartoon, a teacher is handing aliterature book to a student, asking the student to "just read it as ifyou are reading a long text message." Obviously, this picture tells us theimportance of reading literature. There are two reasons why we should read literature books, First, thebeautiful words and sentences can make us relax and ease our tiredness. What'smore, literature is acknowledged as the most precious relies of humancivilization and wisdom. Nearly all important life skills can be learned byreading literature: books which are important in most jobs, let alone our]personal lives. So read as many literary works as possible. In short, literature is indispensable.in our life. Facing the comingchallenges in the future, we need to equip us with more literature knowledge. 【范文翻譯】 文學(xué)閱讀的重要性 就像漫畫中幽默描繪的那樣，有個老師遞給學(xué)生一本文學(xué)書，讓學(xué)生“就當(dāng)作看一條長短信”。很明顯，這幅圖告訴了我們文學(xué)閱讀的重要性。 我們?yōu)槭裁磻?yīng)該讀文學(xué)書有兩個原因。首先，這些美麗的文字和句子可以讓我們放松，并減輕疲勞。而且，文學(xué)是大家公認(rèn)的人類文明和智慧的遺產(chǎn)。幾乎所有重要的生活技能都可以通過文學(xué)書籍學(xué)到，這些技能對大多數(shù)工作都很重要，更別說個人生活了。所以要盡司能多讀文學(xué)作品。 簡單地說，文學(xué)在我們生活中是必不可少的。面對未來即將來臨的挑戰(zhàn)，我們需要具備更多的文學(xué)知識。

Section B 57、Questions57-62 are based on the following passage. Junk food is everywhere. We're eating way too much of it. Most of us know what we're doing and yet we do it anyway. So here's a suggestion offered by two researchers at the Rand Corporation: Why not take a lesson from alcohol control policies and apply them to where food is sold and how it's displayed? "Many policy measures to control obesity (肥胖癥．a(chǎn)ssume that people consciously and rationally choose what and how much they eat and therefore focus on providing information and more access to healthier foods," note the two researchers. "In contrast," the researchers continue, "many regulations that don't assume people make rational choices have been successfully applied to control alcohol, a substance -- like food -- of which immoderate consumption leads to serious health problems." The research references studies of people's behavior with food and alcohol and results of alcohol restrictions, and then lists five regulations that the researchers think might be promising if applied to junk foods. Among them: Density restrictions: licenses to sell alcohol aren't handed out unplanned to all comers but are allotted (分配．based on the number of places in an area that already sell alcohol. These make alcohol less easy to get and reduce the number of psychological cues to drink. Similarly, the researchers say, being presented with junk food stimulates our desire to eat it. So why not limit the density of food outlets, particularly ones that sell food rich in empty calories? And why not limit sale of food in places that aren't primarily food stores? Display and sales restrictions: California has a rule prohibiting alcohol displays near the cash registers in gas stations, and in most places you can't buy alcohol at drive-through facilities. At supermarkets, food companies pay to have their wares in places where they're easily seen. One could remove junk food to the back of the store and ban them from the shelves at checkout lines. The other measures include restricting portion sizes, taxing and prohibiting special price deals for junk foods, and placing warning labels on the products.
What does the author say about junk food? A．People should be educated not to eat too much. B．It is widely consumed despite its ill reputation. C．Its temptation is too strong for people to resist. D．It causes more harm than is generally realized.
58、What do the Rand researchers think of many of the policy measures to control obesity? A．They should be implemented effectively． B．They provide misleading information. C．They are based on wrong assumptions． D．They help people make rational choices.
59、Why do policymakers of alcohol control place density restrictions? A．Few people are able to resist alcohol's temptations. B．There are already too many stores selling alcohol. C．Drinking strong alcohol can cause social problems. D．Easy access leads to customers' over-consumption.
60、What is the purpose of California's rule about alcohol display in gas stations? A．To effectively limit the density of alcohol outlets. B．To help drivers to give up the habit of drinking. C．To prevent possible traffic jams in nearby areas. D．To get alcohol out of drivers' immediate sight.
61、What is the general guideline the Rand researchers suggest about junk food control? A．Guiding people to make rational choices about food. B．Enhancing people's awareness of their own health. C．Borrowing ideas from alcohol control measures. D．Resorting to economic, legal and psychological means.
62、Questions62-67 are based on the following passage. Kodak's decision tofile for bankruptcy (破產(chǎn))protectionis a sad, though not unexpected, turning point for a leading Americancorporation that pioneered consumer photography and dominated the film marketfor decades, but ultimately failed to adapt to the digital revolution. Although manyattribute Kodak's downfall to "complacency (自滿)," that explanation doesn't acknowledge thelengths to which the company went to reinvent itself. Decades ago, Kodakanticipated that digital photography would overtake film - and in fact, Kodakinvented the first digital camera in 1975 --- but in a fateful decision, thecompany chose to shelf its new discovery to focus on its traditional filmbusiness. It wasn't that Kodakwas blind to the future, said Rebecca Henderson, a professor at HarvardBusiness School, but rather that it failed to execute on a strategy to confrontit. By the time the company realized its mistake, it was too late. Kodak is an exampleof a firm that was very much aware that they had to adapt, and spent a lot ofmoney trying to do so, but ultimately failed. Large companies have a difficulttime switching into new markets because there is a temptation to put existingassets into the new businesses. Although Kodakanticipated the inevitable rise of digital photography, its corporate (企業(yè)的) culture was too rooted in thesuccesses of the past for it to make the clean break necessary to fully embracethe future. They were a company stuck in time. Their history was so importantto them. Now their history has become a liability. Kodak's downfallover the last several decades was dramatic. In 1976, the company commanded 90%of the market for photographic film and 85% of the market for cameras. But the1980s brought new competition from Japanese film company Fuji Photo, whichundermined Kodak by offering lower prices for film and photo supplies. Kodak'sdecision not to pursue the role of official film for the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics was a major miscalculation. The bid went instead to Fuji, whichexploited its sponsorship to win a permanent foothold in the marketplace.
What do we learn about Kodak? A．It went bankrupt all of a sudden． B．It is approaching its downfall. C．It initiated the digital revolution in the film industry. D．It is playing a dominant role in the film market.
63、Why does the author mention Kodak's invention of the first digital camera? A．To show its early attempt to reinvent itself. B．To show its effort to overcome complacency. C．To show its quick adaptation to the digital revolution. D．To show its will to compete with Japan's Fuji photo.
64、Why do large companies have difficulty switching to new markets? A．They find it costly to give up their existing assets. B．They tend to be slow in confronting new challenges. C．They are unwilling to invest in new technology. D．They are deeply stuck in their glorious past.
65、What does the author say Kodak's history has become? A．A burden． B．A mirror． C．A joke． D．A challenge.
66、What was Kodak's fatal mistake? A．Its blind faith in traditional photography． B．Its failure to see Fuji photo's emergence. C．Its refusal to sponsor the 1984 Olympics． D．Its overconfidence in its corporate culture.

參考答案及詳細(xì)解析： Part II Reading Comprehension(Skimming and Scanning) 1. 系統(tǒng)解析：【譯文劃線點評】 電子教材能否真正取代紙質(zhì)書籍? 傳統(tǒng)印刷版教材的缺點是顯而易見的：首先，他們很重，每本物理教材的平均重量是3．6磅。他們還很昂貴，尤其是當(dāng)你考慮到普通高校學(xué)生有限的預(yù)算時，這些書費每學(xué)期要花費數(shù)百美元。 【1】但糟糕的是，教材的印刷版本一直在進行修訂。許多教授要求他們的學(xué)生在課堂上只使用新的版本，基本上舊版本都無法使用。而對于學(xué)生來說，這意味著他們四磅重的紙砸在手里了，沒辦法再賣出去。 [21這就是為什么如果電子教 材能名副其實的話，可能有助于緩解許多這樣的缺點。但到目前為止。他們卻像遠(yuǎn)方的海市蜃樓，更像是 一個朦朧的夢，而不是真實的現(xiàn)實。試想一下電子教材的，把所有的教材存在1．3磅的iPad里面?聽起來太美好了，讓人難以置信。 但也有少數(shù)旗艦學(xué)校要過渡到數(shù)字圖書。像康奈爾大學(xué)和布朗大學(xué)已經(jīng)加入這一行列。在加州大學(xué)爾灣分校的一個醫(yī)療項目上，給了整個班級可以下載去年教材的iPad。 但并不是所有的學(xué)校都急于加入。 今年秋天會是Kalpit Shah進入到爾灣醫(yī)療項目的第二年，他說“除了用它來閱讀以外，人們已經(jīng)厭倦了使用iPad教材。【3】他們不能用它作為進行交流的資源，因為大家不能在上面閱讀或者寫。一所以，在我的項目上有三分之一的同學(xué)使用iPad在課堂上記筆記，其他三分之一的人用筆記本電腦，還有三分之一的學(xué)生，用鉛筆和紙做筆記?！? 他告訴我，原因尚來查明，電子版教材的功能有限得令人難以置信，有的學(xué)生只是沒有動力去學(xué)新的學(xué)習(xí)習(xí)慣。 但是，一個被稱為Inklin9的新應(yīng)用程序可能會改變這一切。該公司上周剛剛發(fā)布了一個更新過的版本，在接下來的這個學(xué)年，它會被用在50多個本科和研究生的教室里。 “電子教材不會流行起來。”Inkling公司的總裁Matt clrmis一邊喝咖啡，一邊給我做演示時說道。[41“我的意思是，目前來看電子教材只是印刷書的精神副本像Course Smart等等，他們會把每一頁拍下來，、然后放在屏幕上。如果這是我們對電子教材書籍的定義的話，那么電子教材將沒有希望成為主流產(chǎn)品。” 【5】他把Inking稱為一個平臺，為出版商們構(gòu)建豐富的多媒體資源，而且非常注重對現(xiàn)實世界的功能。傳統(tǒng)的教材只是作為一個骨架。 乍一看，Inkling是一個令人印象深刻的體驗。在敲擊進入iPad應(yīng)用程序之后，您可以在這里免費獲得他所開放的幾個不同類型的教材。 第一個是化學(xué)書。加載時間是相當(dāng)快的，在確定之前，他通過瀏覽幾個章節(jié)，形成一個完全渲染的3D模型，你可繞著查看：各種基礎(chǔ)材料。他說，“出版商給我們所有的源媒體，藝術(shù)箍、視頻等，我們幫助他們思考如何真正為這個平臺建立一些東西?！? 接著，他翻出了音樂創(chuàng)作教材，完成播放演示。它可以從多個感官的方向影響你的學(xué)習(xí)經(jīng)歷。很明顯，這是能讓主修音樂的人很喜歡的原因。 【6】但對我來說,Inkling讓我興奮的部分是批注系統(tǒng)。下面給大家講一下它是如何工作的! 當(dāng)您購買了一本二手書，它上面有先前所有者批注的重點，和空白處的筆記。你可以用已學(xué)過這本書的人的經(jīng)驗來幫助提高你的閱讀能力(至于你在多大程度上相信這些筆記符號，完全取決予你自己)。 但是如果你有Inkling的話，你可以突出顯示一塊內(nèi)容，然后做筆記，這樣會讓學(xué)習(xí)變得有趣，雖然：如果特別重要的段落被Inkling的多個用戶都標(biāo)記過，這些信息是存儲在云存儲上的，任何閱讀相同教材的人都可以看?！?】那意味著用戶不僅可以看到他們的同學(xué)，F(xiàn)acebook上的朋友做的筆記，還可以看糾在全國各地購買這本教材的任何人所做的筆記。好的注解，通過民主的投票系統(tǒng)被記錄下來，這意味著你的社會學(xué)習(xí)經(jīng)驗將和棒、聰明的思恕家加—起共享。 【7】作為一項額外的害處，教授們甚至可以在討論中插話。他們能通過這種互動式的書直接回答班上學(xué)生提出的問題。當(dāng)然，lnking還能解決傳統(tǒng)印刷的一些其他的缺點。教材版本不斷更新，激勵出版商大限度地減少生產(chǎn)成本(麥格勞一希爾等大公司已經(jīng)加入)，此外，學(xué)生將能夠以每章節(jié)2．99美元的價格購買一本書的部分章節(jié)，而無需購買整本書。 但是這也有挑戰(zhàn)?！斑@需要努力打造每一本書，”Maclnnis告訴我。原因顯而易見。 【8】每個互動教材是一個從零開始的多重媒體經(jīng)驗的構(gòu)成，你可以說，每一個電子教材都需要相當(dāng)可觀的人力才能把這些資源整合在一起。 【9】目前該軟件還是iPad獨有的，盡管這些教育機構(gòu)中免費提供硬件，但是對于其他無法享受這種奢侈的學(xué)生來說，這會是額外的花費——而且是非常昂貴的一項費用。但是，這相當(dāng)明顯。傳統(tǒng)的教材模式正在，甚至是已經(jīng)被打破相當(dāng)長的一段時間了。 【10】無論是像Inking這樣的數(shù)字互動應(yīng)用程序能夠騰飛活著消失匿跡，我們可能在未來幾年還不會有一個明確的答案。然而，任何問題的解決都是從某個方向的一個步驟開始的。至少到目前為止。遠(yuǎn)處那個朦朧的海市蜃樓？多了一點可觸摸東西，少了一些夢幻的色彩。 【答案解析】 A。細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)題干中的the biggest problem定位至文章第二段首句。由“But the worst part is that print editions of textbooks are constantly undergoing revisions”可知，印刷版的教材大的問題是不斷進行修訂。
Part I Writing 1. 系統(tǒng)解析： 【寫作提示】 這是一篇看圖作文。從圖畫的內(nèi)容我們可V2-看出文章的主題是說做小事很重要。作文可分為三段：第一段可以要簡單描繪圖畫內(nèi)客；作文的第二段論述從小事做起的重要性，并才指出具體原因；作文第三段再次強調(diào)白己的觀點，指出從小事做起才能更好地做大事。 【寫作范文】 Doing Small Things Is Important Fromthis picture, we can see the boy is worried about disposing of nuclear waste.However, his father thinks he should empty the dustbin first. Maybe some peoplethink highly of the boy because he cares about the environment. But I agreewith the :father. Only if we do every small thing well can we deal withsomething great. Doingsmall things is of great importance. On one hand, by doing so, we are able toaccumulate experience and master essential skills. We must be fully preparedbefore we do something big. No matter what kind of situation we are facing, wecan handle it well. On the other hand, doing small things also helps to developgood habits. If so, we can be more calm and know exactly what to do and how todo when we meet something difficult or important. Those who can do small things perfectlyare more likely to make achievements. Doing small things enable us to learnbasic skills to do something big. Therefore, we should try our best even whenwe're doing small things. 【范文翻譯】 做小事很重要 從這幅圖中，我{門可以看到男孩在擔(dān)心核廢料的處理。然而，他的父親認(rèn)為他應(yīng)該先把垃圾桶清空?；蛟S有人對男孩評價很高，因為他關(guān)心環(huán)境。但是我同意他父親的看法。我們只有把每件小事都做好，才能處理好大事。 做小事很重要。一方面，這樣做的話，我們能夠積累經(jīng)驗，掌握必要的技能。在做大事之前我們必須做好充分的準(zhǔn)備。不管我們面臨什么情況，我們都可以很好地處理。另一方面，做小事對養(yǎng)成好習(xí)慣也很有幫助。如果這樣的話，在遇到困難或者大事時，我們可以更加冷靜，會明白我們應(yīng)該做什么，以及怎么做。 那些可以把小事做得很完美的人更有可能取得成就。做小事可以讓我們學(xué)會做大事的基本技能。因此，即使是做小事，我們也要全力以赴。
Part II Reading Comprehension(Skimming and Scanning) 2. 系統(tǒng)解析：B。 細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)題干中的digital textbooks可以定位至文章的第三段。由開頭的“which is why digital textbooks，if they live up to their promise，could help ease many of these shortcomings．But till now, they’ve been something like a mirage in the distance”可知，電子教材的功能并沒有完全實現(xiàn)，沒能解決紙質(zhì)書的所有問題。
Part I Writing 2. 系統(tǒng)解析： 【寫作提示】 這是一篇看圖作文。從圖畫的內(nèi)容我們可以看出話題是文學(xué)閱讀的重要性。作文可分為三段：第一段簡單才苗給圖畫的內(nèi)容；第二段論述為什么說文學(xué)閱讀很重要，并指出具體原因，闡述丈學(xué)閱讀的好處；第三段再次強調(diào)自己的觀點，拈出要多閱讀文學(xué)作品。 【寫作范文】 The Importance of Reading Literature As is humorously portrayed in the cartoon, a teacher is handing aliterature book to a student, asking the student to "just read it as ifyou are reading a long text message." Obviously, this picture tells us theimportance of reading literature. There are two reasons why we should read literature books, First, thebeautiful words and sentences can make us relax and ease our tiredness. What'smore, literature is acknowledged as the most precious relies of humancivilization and wisdom. Nearly all important life skills can be learned byreading literature: books which are important in most jobs, let alone our]personal lives. So read as many literary works as possible. In short, literature is indispensable.in our life. Facing the comingchallenges in the future, we need to equip us with more literature knowledge. 【范文翻譯】 文學(xué)閱讀的重要性 就像漫畫中幽默描繪的那樣，有個老師遞給學(xué)生一本文學(xué)書，讓學(xué)生“就當(dāng)作看一條長短信”。很明顯，這幅圖告訴了我們文學(xué)閱讀的重要性。 我們?yōu)槭裁磻?yīng)該讀文學(xué)書有兩個原因。首先，這些美麗的文字和句子可以讓我們放松，并減輕疲勞。而且，文學(xué)是大家公認(rèn)的人類文明和智慧的遺產(chǎn)。幾乎所有重要的生活技能都可以通過文學(xué)書籍學(xué)到，這些技能對大多數(shù)工作都很重要，更別說個人生活了。所以要盡司能多讀文學(xué)作品。 簡單地說，文學(xué)在我們生活中是必不可少的。面對未來即將來臨的挑戰(zhàn)，我們需要具備更多的文學(xué)知識。
