16.A British-designed electronic newspaper made of plastic and no larger than a table mat(墊)is to enter the market next year.The new newspaper was conceived(設(shè)想)by Cambridge University scientists.They came up with the idea of replacing silicon chips(硅片)with plastic ones.It is being developed by Plastic Logic,a company based in Dresden,Germany.
"It looks just like a table mat,and is as light as a magazine.But you can download hundreds of newspapers at the touch of a button,and read them quite safely,"the BBC reported on its website.
     The plastic paper is produced in a safe"clean room"at the Plastic Logic factory,which opened last month as the world's first plastic-electronics factory.Every part of the product,from the screen to the electronics,is made of plastic.And it is described by engineer Dean Baker as"top quality",as it could help solve the problem of waste associated with traditional newspapers.
"There's a huge amount of waste.We have paper distributed(分發(fā))a ll over the country each day and then thrown into the bin.This doesn't need to happen any more.All of the copies could be made electronically and stored on a single e-reader with the ap pearance of paper,"he says.
     People are expecting to see the plastic newspaper next year,the BBC says.

解答 33.B 細節(jié)理解題  根據(jù)第二段最后一句And it is described by engineer Dean Baker as"top quality",as it could help solve the problem of waste associated with traditional newspapers.可知,Dean Baker稱之為"top quality"是因為它可以很好地解決傳統(tǒng)報紙的污染問題,故答案為B
34.D 推理判斷題.文章最后兩段All of the copies could be made electronically and stored on a single e-reader with the ap pearance of paper介紹了普通的紙質(zhì)報紙不僅需要全國發(fā)送,而且閱讀完后就扔掉了,而電子報紙則避免了這種情況,由此判斷選D.
35.A  推理判斷題.文章主要介紹了即將問世的電子報紙的一些好處,從文中使用的一些詞:expect,save,clean,safe等詞判斷作者對此是很樂觀,是積極的態(tài)度,選A.

點評 閱讀理解題測試考生在閱讀基礎(chǔ)上的邏輯推理能力,要求考生根據(jù)文章所述事件的邏輯關(guān)系,對未說明的趨勢或結(jié)局作出合理的推斷;或根據(jù)作者所闡述的觀點理論,對文章未涉及的現(xiàn)象、事例給以解釋.考生首先要仔細閱讀短文,完整了解信息,準確把握作者觀點.
