When Chris orphew started writing stories about dinosaurs and tie achines as a kid, he never iagined he would becoe a best-seller author. Several years and countless books later, the 26-year-old Australian is still wondering about the future. It sees anything is possible for young authors like orphew in today’s digital age, where electronic books can be purchased and downloaded with only one click.
orphew, who has published two kids’ adventure series, says e-books can attract readers because ost retailers(销售商) allow a sneak preview before buying. “It’s a great way to introduce potential readers to a novel, and hopefully get the hooked enough to pay for the rest,” orphew said.
The e-book phenoenon is taking off aong consuers. The global e-book arket grew by ore than 200 percent last year, according to a new report fro Futuresource Consulting. The arket is boosted by a rising nuber of e-book services, e-reading devices and tablets like the iPad.
But in a world of such easily downloadable aterial, orphew says piracy and copyright issues are concerning. “As an author who pours onths of his life into each book he creates, it’s discouraging to think that people ight be willing to take what I’ve created without giving any thought to the effort that went into producing those projects in the first place,” he said.
It’s no secret that the Internet is filled with unlicensed, free digital copies of books on file-sharing websites. This has led soe successful authors to worry about dwindling profits. “If readers lose the habit of paying e for y work, I can’t work. Writing is how I ake y living,” British novelist Chris Cleave told the Guardian.
Willia Kostakis, a 21-year-old Australian author who is currently copleting his second novel, isn’t so concerned. He says book digitization can actually ake it easier for young writers to support their careers. “Copetitive pricing and self-publishing through Aazon eans that authors can get their works out to the world, and start aking oney,” Kostakis said.
Kostakis says freelancing is another great way to help pay the bills. He is currently writing for the online Australian news site Ninesn.co. “Freelancing is the key to aking oney until you’re established(资深的), with ost authors turning to journalis after publication to support theselves financially,” Kostakis said.
So is there hope for young authors out there? It appears so. Life in the technological fast lane has the charging full speed ahead.
60. The writer’s purpose is writing this passage is to ____
A. discuss the influence of e-books
B. introduce the popularity of e-books
C. tell people to obey the law of copyrighted books
D. encourage young authors to download e-books

D. He thinks piracy and copyright issues has nothing to do with hi.
62. Which of the following is not the factor that proote the e-book arket?

C. Tablets. D. A sneak previe

A. dropping B. increasing C. iproving D. sharing

If a business wants to sell its products internationally, it had better do soe arket research first. This is a lesson that soe large Aerican corporations have learned in a hard way.
What’s in the nae?
Soeties the proble is the nae. When General otors introduced its Chevy Nova into Latin Aerica, it overlooked the fact that Nova in Spanish eans “It doesn’t go”. Sure enough, the Chevy Nova never went anywhere in Latin Aerica.
Translation probles
Soeties it is the slogan that doesn’t work. No copany knows this better than Pepsi-Cola, with its “Coe alive with Pepsi!” capaign. The capaign was so successful in the United States, and Pepsi translated its slogan literally for its international capaign. As it turned out, the translations weren’t quite right. Pepsi was begging Gerans to “Coe out of the grave” and tell the Chinese that “Pepsi brings your ancestors back fro the grave.”
A picture’s worth a thousand words
Other ties, the proble involves packaging. A picture of a siling baby helped sell countless jars of Gerber Baby food. When Gerber started selling baby food in Africa, they used the sae packaging as in the US, with the siling baby on the label. Later they learned that in African countries, the picture on the jar shows what the jar has in it, for any people there can’t read.
Twist(扭转) of fate
Even culture and religious factors and pure coincidence can be involved. Thorn cAn shoes have a Thorn cAn “signature” inside. To people in Bangladesh, which is a usli country, this signature looked like Arabic script(手稿书写) for the word Allah. In that country, feet are considered unclean, and usli felt the copany was offending God’s nae by having people walk on it.
65. Fro the text we learn that____.
A. General otors was brought in Latin Aerica
B. General otors did the best arket research of all copanies
C. Pepsi still sold well in China owing to the translation proble
D. the “Coe alive with Pepsi” capaign worked well in the US
66. What was Gerber’s proble?
A. A translation proble. B. Cultural factor.
C. Religious factor. D. The picture on the jar.
67. For what reason were Thorn cAn shoes turned down in Bangladesh?
A. They are not designed attractively.
B. Their advertiseents are not persuasive.
C. A signature looking like the word Allah was in the shoes.
D. Proble For Thor cAn was the copany’s nae.
68. What does the text ainly tell us?
A. Lessons fro soe large corporations.
B. How to ake use of advertiseents.
C. The iportance of arket research.
D. The iportance of packaging.
D
Scientists ay have found a way to reduce shortages of type O blood. Type O is the kind of blood that hospitals ost often need. What the researchers are testing is an easier way to ake type O blood out of other kinds of blood.
There are four ain kinds of blood. ost people are born with one of these four: type A, type B, type AB or type O. Type O can be safely given to anyone. So it is coonly used when a person is injured or sick and has to have blood.
Type O is the ost coon blood group. But the supplies of it available in hospitals and blood banks are usually liited. This is because of high deand. Type O blood is used in eergencies when there is no tie to identify the patient’s blood type.
Giving A, B or AB to soeone with a different blood type, including O, can cause a bad reaction by the person’s defense syste. Their iune syste can reject the blood. This iune reaction can be deadly.
The differences aong blood types are linked to whether or not red bloods cells contain certain kinds of sugar olecules. These olecules are found on the surface of the cells. They are known as antigens(抗原). These antigens are found with type A, B and AB blood but not with type O.
ore than twenty-five years ago, scientists found that the antigens could be reoved to create what they called universal-type cells. They could be reoved with cheicals called enzyes(酶). But large aounts of enzyes were required to ake the change.
Doctor Henrick Clausen of the University of Copenhagen in Denark led the study. The next step, he says, is to coplete safety tests. The tea is working with the Aerican copany ZyeQuest to test the new ethod. If it eets safety requireents and is not too costly, it could becoe a widely used life-saving tool to increase the supply of universal blood.
69. The neay scientists use to reduce shortage of type O blood is ____.
A. to ake type O blood out of other kinds of blood
B. to give birth to ore babies with type O blood
C. to use other kinds of blood to replace type O blood
D. to appeal to ore people to donate type O blood
70. People have different kinds of blood types because____.
A. people’s red blood cells contains different kinds of sugar olecules
B. the areas where people live have an influence on their blood types
C. they have different races, cultures and origins
D. they are born with different kinds of blood type.
71. What can be inferred fro the passage?
A. One person’s antigens could easily be reoved to another person.
B. A Denark copany sponsored the study led by Doctor Henrick Clausen.
C. Type O blood can be given to anyone regardless of his own blood type.
D. The new ethod is too costly to be put into use in hospitals.
72. What is the ain idea of the passage?
A. People in the world have four different kinds of blood.
B. A neay to reduce the shortage of Type O blood.
C. Doctor Henrich Clausen and his research into blood type.
D. People’s iune syste can reject the wrong type of blood.

I needed to get soe oney so, after Christas, I took a job in the clothes departent at Graha’s for the first fortnight of the January sale. I can’t say that I enjoyed it, but it was an experience that I’ll never forget.
I could never understand why there were so any things in the sales; where did they all coe fro? Now I know the secret! Firstly, there is the special winter stock(货物) and the stock that people buy all the year round; soe of these things are slightly reduced. Secondly, there are the suer clothes they couldn’t sell last year; these are heavily reduced to clear the. Thirdly, there are cheap clothes bought in specially for the sales; they are put out at high prices ten days before the sale begins and then are reduced by 60% in the sale. Clever! Lastly, they bought in “seconds” (clothes not in perfect condition) for the sale and they are sold very cheaply.
When I arrived half an hour before opening on the first day of the sale, there was already a queue around three sides of the building. This ade e very nervous.
When the big oent arrived to open the doors, the security guards, looking less confident than usual, cae up to the, keys in hand. The oent they unlocked the doors, they hid behind the doors for protection as the noisy crowd charged in. I couldn’t believe y eyes; this wasn’t shopping, it was a battlefield! One poor lady couldn’t keep her feet and was knocked over by people pushing fro behind.
Clothes were flying in all directions as people searched for the sizes, colors and styles they wanted. Quarrels broke out. others were using their sall children to crawl through people’s legs and get hold of things that they couldn’t get near theselves.
Within inutes I had half a dozen people pushing clothes under y nose, each wanting to be the first served. Where had the faous English Queue gone? The whole day continued like that, but I kept y teper! I was taking oney hand over fist and began to realize why, twice a year, Graha’s were happy to turn their expensive store into a battlefield like this. People were spending oney like water without thinking whether they needed what they were buying. As long as it was a bargain it was OK.
73. What kind of clothes is likely to be sold 5% cheaper?
A. Last suer’s clothes. B. Clothes not in perfect condition.
C. Clothes bought specially for the sales. D. Clothes for winter.
74. In the author’s opinion, why were Graha’s happy to ake their expensive store into “battlefield”?
A. They were too any clothes and they wanted to clear the in the sales.
B. They were eager to show that they were clever at doing business.
C. They could take the chance to raise the prices of their clothes.
D. They wanted to ake ore oney by having sales.
75. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. The Best Bargain B. Hunting For A Job
C. The Sale Fever D. A Pleasant Fortnight
