Question

【題目】With smartphones and e-readers becoming more common, some people worry that the days of paper books are coming to an end. But a recent survey has shown that traditional books are still popular among readers. Nielsen found that more than 7 percent paper books were sold in the UK in 2016 compared with the year before, while sales of their digital rivals（競爭對手）dropped by 4 percent.

So what is behind 2016’s print comeback? Nielsen’s survey found that it is young people who preferred paper books to e-books. In another study, more than 60 percent of young people said they preferred printed books to e-books. The most popular reason given was “I like to hold the product.”

Steve Bohme, the research director of Nielsen Book Research UK, explained that young people were using books as a break from their daily electronic devices（電子設(shè)備）. “We are seeing that reading paper books is a respite（緩解）, particularly for young people who are so busy digitally.” he said.

It is not just the British youth who prefer print books. The story is the same in other countries. The main reasons were that when reading e-books, students are easily distracted(分心). Some also ended up with headaches or sore eyes. In addition. Printed books can bring a very different reading experience. Some students said that they get a sense of achievement when they finish reading a paper book.

【解析】

現(xiàn)在只能手機(jī)、電子書越來越受歡迎，一些人擔(dān)心紙質(zhì)書的時(shí)代結(jié)束了。但是一個(gè)最近的調(diào)查發(fā)現(xiàn)傳統(tǒng)的紙質(zhì)書仍然受讀者們的歡迎。

【1】根據(jù)短文第一段中Nielsen found that more than 7 percent paper books were sold in the UK in 2016 compared with the year before可知，2016年英國紙質(zhì)書的銷售比前一年增長了7%。題目中這句話是說“2016年銷售了7%的紙質(zhì)書”，不符合文意，故是錯(cuò)誤的。

【2】根據(jù)短文第一段中Nielsen’s survey found that it is young people who preferred paper books to e-books, In another study, more than 60 percent of young people said they preferred printed books to e-books可知，相比電子書，年輕人更喜歡紙質(zhì)書。故這句話是錯(cuò)誤的。

【3】根據(jù)短文第一段Steve Bohme, the research director of Nielsen Book Research UK, explained that young people were using books as a break from their daily electronic devices（電子設(shè)備）,“We are seeing that reading paper books is a respite（緩解）, particularly for young people who are so busy digitally,” he said.可知，很多年輕人使用紙質(zhì)書作為擺脫電子設(shè)備的一個(gè)緩解。由此可知這句話是正確的。

【4】根據(jù)短文第二段The main reasons were that when reading e-books. Students are easily distracted可知，當(dāng)閱讀電子書的時(shí)候，學(xué)生們?nèi)菀追中摹Ｓ纱丝芍�這句話是正確的。

【5】根據(jù)短文第二段Some students said that they get a sense of achievement when they finish reading a paper book.可知，一些學(xué)生在讀紙質(zhì)書的時(shí)候，能有一種成就感，由此可知這句話是正確的。

這篇短文講述的是雖然現(xiàn)在智能手機(jī)和電子書很流行，但傳統(tǒng)的紙質(zhì)書仍然很受讀者們的歡迎。短文主題明確，短文開頭第一句話即點(diǎn)明文章中心，下面引用了專家的話進(jìn)行闡述，結(jié)構(gòu)清晰，易于理解。題型是判斷題，以考查理解文章細(xì)節(jié)內(nèi)容為主，做題時(shí)，應(yīng)先通讀短文，了解大意；然后閱讀后面的句子，弄清意思，根據(jù)文意進(jìn)行判斷。例如第1小題，根據(jù)短文第一段中Nielsen found that more than 7 percent paper books were sold in the UK in 2016 compared with the year before可知，2016年英國紙質(zhì)書的銷售比前一年增長了7%，題中的這句話是說“2016年銷售了7%的紙質(zhì)書”，不符合文意，故是錯(cuò)誤的。再如第4小題，根據(jù)短文第二段The main reasons were that when reading e-books. Students are easily distracted可知，當(dāng)閱讀電子書的時(shí)候，學(xué)生們?nèi)菀追中�。由此可知這句話是正確的。
