18．Editor Henry Slocum，
     I read your May 10th article in the local newspaper Honesdale Times about electronic books，or e-books，with great interest．You made several good points about the disadvantages of e-books．You may have overlooked，however，some of the ways in which they are superior to traditional books．Yes，e-books are expensive，but they are also convenient．In addition，due to their environment-friendly nature，e-books have the potential to change our planet for the better．
     E-books，for anyone who is unfamiliar with the term，are about the same size and shape as regular books．They have a large screen in the middle，however．This screen shows the reader a page of text that has been downloaded from a computer．Once the reader has finished reading the page on the e-book screen，he or she scrolls down to see a new page．The process continues until the entire book has been read．
     As you pointed out，Mr．Slocum，it's great to lie on a warm，sandy beach with a book．You can do that just as easily with an e-book as you can with a traditional paper book．In fact，because e-books are so light，you can carry them anywhere．Say，for example，that you like to read on the bus．Which would you rather carry with you-a heavy 800-page novel，or an e-book that weighs only a few ounces？
    Another important advantage is offered by e-books as well．They are more environment friendly than traditional books．At present，thousands of trees are cut down each year to meet the publishing industry's demand for paper．Books that don't sell are eventually returned to the publisher and destroyed．This terrible waste could be avoided if everyone used e-books，which require no paper．
Sincerely，
David Eng41．What does Editor Henry Slocum think about e-books？B

分析 本文主要講述了大衛(wèi)給編輯亨利寫(xiě)信說(shuō)明讀了他的文章之后的感受，并且提出了電子書(shū)相比于傳統(tǒng)書(shū)籍的一些優(yōu)點(diǎn)，電子書(shū)對(duì)于我們來(lái)說(shuō)是方便攜帶的，如果我們都使用電子書(shū)將會(huì)避免紙張的浪費(fèi)．

解答 答案：41．B  細(xì)節(jié)理解題，由第一段You may have overlooked，however，some of the ways in which they are superior to traditional books．Yes，e-books are expensive，but they are also convenient．可以看出他認(rèn)為電子書(shū)是昂貴的，故選B．
42．A  段落大意題，由第二段E-books，for anyone who is unfamiliar with the term，are about the same size and shape as regular books．可以看出本段是為大家介紹電子書(shū)是什么，故選A．
43．C  細(xì)節(jié)理解題，由最后一段They are more environmentfriendly than traditional books．可知大衛(wèi)認(rèn)為電子書(shū)比傳統(tǒng)書(shū)更環(huán)保，故選C．
44．B  細(xì)節(jié)判斷題．文章第一段說(shuō)You may have overlooked，however，some of the ways in which they are superior to traditional books你忽視了電子書(shū)比傳統(tǒng)書(shū)籍優(yōu)越的一些方面．故選B．
45．D  主旨大意題，由第一段You may have overlooked，however，some of the ways in which they are superior to traditional books．以及概括全文可知作者在全文舉例說(shuō)明了電子書(shū)的優(yōu)點(diǎn)，并給出了證據(jù)，故選D．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 閱讀理解是考查語(yǔ)篇理解能力．常考的題型有：推理判斷題；主旨大意題；細(xì)節(jié)理解題；猜測(cè)詞意題．近幾年又出現(xiàn)了兩種新的考查方式：寫(xiě)作態(tài)度判斷題和文章結(jié)構(gòu)題．解題時(shí)，在讀懂文章的基礎(chǔ)上，還有特別注意掌握題型的特征，尤其是細(xì)節(jié)題和推斷題不可混淆：細(xì)節(jié)題是文章信息的再現(xiàn)；推斷題是文章信息的提�。绢}是廣告類(lèi)文章，考查主要是以細(xì)節(jié)題為主，細(xì)節(jié)題要注意常用的出題陷阱有：夸大，縮小，張冠李戴，偷梁換柱，無(wú)中生有等，做題時(shí)要看清看準(zhǔn)

13．A sense of humor is just one of the many things shared by Alfred and Anthony Melillo，64-year-old twin brothers from East Haven who made history in February 2012．On Christmas Eve，2002，Anthony had a heart transplant （移植） from a 21-year-old donor （捐贈(zèng)者）．Two days before Valentine's Day in 2012，Afred received a 19-year-old heart，marking the first time on record that twin adults each received heart transplants．
"I'm 15minutes older than him．But now I'm younger because of my heart and I'm not going to respect him，"Afred said with a smile，pointing to his brother while talking to a roomful of reporters，who laughed frequently at their jokes．
While the twins knew that genetics （遺傳學(xué)） might have played a role in their condition，they recognized that their bad eating habits might have also contributed to their heart problems．"We'd put half a pound of butter on a steak．I overdid it on all the food that tasted good，so I guess I deserved what I got for not dieting properly．"
The discussion moved to Anthony's recovery．In the five years since his heart transplant，he had been on an exercise program where he regularly rode a bicycle for five miles，swam each day，and walked a couple of miles．He was still on medication （藥物治療） but not nearly as much as Alfred，who was just in the early stage of his recovery．
Alfred said his goal，of course，was to feel even better than his brother．"But"，he added，"I love my brother very much．We're very close and I'm sure we'll do just fine．"
