閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項（A、B、C和D）中選出最佳選項。

Electronic book publishing has many of the same risks and opportunities as electronic music publishing. By delivering text direct to the user’s computer screen, the e-book could cut down costs, and allow creators to deal directly with their audience, bypassing (繞過) traditional publishers and readers. But it also raises the possibility of mass piracy (盜版). Phil Rance, founder and managing director of Online Originals, a London-based e-book publisher, sums it up. “No one wants Napster (在線音樂服務(wù)) to happen to books.”

Indeed, the most popular MP3 have put the frighteners on (威脅) an industry that generally operates some way behind the “bleeding edge”. The Mata Group, a leading US-based market researcher, says publishers are far too concerned about protecting their rights, “We believe all the recent legal control over Napster is like putting a finger in a river that is already overflowing. Publishers need to deal with reality and come up with new ways to develop wide electronic distribution (分布), asking the question: ‘How can we use the certainty of wide distribution to our advantage?’”

At the moment, most publishers would like to limit the use of e-books to the person who bought them, or to the computer used to download them. If that can be done, e-books become just an extra income stream in a publishing industry that would continue to operate the way it does today, according to Terry Robinson, business manager for Adobe’s e-paper group. “If you’ve cracked digital rights aspect, you’ve cracked the market,” he says.

Robert Nichols, Books Director at BOL agrees, “Rights management is absolutely important. Publishers just say that ‘until copyright is secure, we’re not going to talk’.”

1.Which of the following can be the best title for this text?

A. Changes Brought by E-books

B. The E-book— an Extra Income Stream

C. An Economic Rise from E-books

D. The E-book— a New and Big Challenge

2.According to the text, what do e-books and electronic music have in common?

A. They result in piracy.

B. They lead to price reduction.

C. They avoid industry management.

D. They bring in more money to creators.

3.What do publishers care most about e-books?

A. Copyright. B. Price.

C. Quality. D. Popularity.

閱讀下面的短文，然后按要求寫一篇150詞左右的英語短文。

There once was a little boy who had a bad temper. His father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, he must hammer a nail into the back of the fence.

The first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence. Over the next few weeks, as he learned to control his anger, the number of nails hammered daily gradually decreased. He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence.

Finally the day came when the boy didn’t lose his temper at all. He told his father about it and the father suggested that the boy now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper. The days passed and the young boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone.

The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence. He said, “You have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same. When you say things in anger, they leave scars just like these. And no matter how many times you say you're sorry, the wounds will still be there.”

I often quarrel with my mother over if I can watch TV after school. My mother thinks that senior students, burden with their studies, are so busy to spare any time to watch TV. It seemed to her that I will not able to control myself and forget all about my study once I am allowed to. She also thinks that it’s bad for her eyes to watch TV too often. But I really can’t accept her ideas. I think it’s relaxed to watch TV before a day’s hard work. It can set my mind at rest and broaden my horizons as well. Besides, and we can be kept informed of what’s happening at home.

Now we have reached an agreement that I can only watch TV at weekends, and the content is limited to news and program of entertainment, sports and science.

Hello. I’m Jan from Mrs. Lake’s class. My class wants to work together to help the public. We think we have found a great way to do this. Last month we did a class project on the highways near our town. We learned about the Adopt-a-Highway Program. This program brings people together to pick up litter along the roads. We think it would be a great idea for all students in our school to join the program and adopt a highway.

Adopting a highway is not like adopting a pet. When a highway is adopted, only part of the highway is cared for by a group of people. The group agrees to work every week to keep its part of the highway clean. Each group gets its own sign that has the name of the group printed on it. The sign is put up at the side of the road. This sign lets drivers know who is keeping that area of the road clean.

The Adopt-a-Highway Program is a great way for people to help their environment look nicer. Also, the government does not have to send out as many road workers. This saves money. Finally, people may try harder to keep roads clean if they see people, especially teenagers like us, cleaning them up.

We will need helpers to care for our adopted highway. If you want to feel great and keep our roads clean，please come with your parents to the meeting next week. We will meet in Mrs. Lake’ room on Wednesday at 6:00 P. M. At the meeting, we will talk about which roads are the dirtiest as a result of people's unkind acts. Then we''ll try to pick an area to adopt and clean.

I look forward to seeing you at the meeting. Remember to keep our roads clean!

1.What is the Adopt-a-Highway Program about?

A. Giving names to the highways.

B. Drawing pictures of highways.

C. Picking up litter along the roads.

D. Putting up signs near the roads.

2.What should the students do first if they want to join the program?

A. Pick a spot to care for.

B. Call Mrs. Lake next week.

C. Write a letter to their parents.

D. Go to a meeting on Wednesday.

3.What is the purpose of this speech?

A. To encourage students to join the program.

B. To introduce the traffic system.

C. To show drivers how to drive safely.

D. To tell a story about adopting a pet.

4.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

A. Adopt-a-Pet

B. Adopt-a-Highway

C. Ways to Protect the Environment

D. Volunteers on Roads
