参考答案
61.D)。本题考查对文章第一段的理解。定位句指出,在六大出版商中,只有兰登书屋和哈珀科林斯出版集团将电子书授权给了大多数图书馆,其他出版商有的表示拒绝,有的则在勉强试探当中,故答案为D)。
62.D)。本题考查有关电子借阅的细节。定位句指出,到期的文件会自动从阅读设备上消失,故答案为D)。
63.C)。本题考查对超速档的认识和理解。定位句指出,出版商和图书馆也因此对超速档在市场上独占鳌头感到担忧,因为这样一来它就可以逐渐控制费用、提出条件,故答案为C)。
64.C)。本题考查对最近皮尤研究的结论的理解。定位旬指出,这份调查发现,很少有人知道大多数图书馆里也有电子书资源,而且热门书的后面总是跟着长长的借阅预约名单,这或许就是促使人们买书的原因,故答案为C)。
65.D)。本题考查对“anail.biter”的理解。末段前两句指出,出版商们通过调整借阅策略以寻求平衡。兰登书屋在今年早些时候提高了授权费;哈珀科林斯把图书馆出借的次数限制在26次以内。最后两句提到,英国政府很快会宣告一项相关审核,图书馆与电子书的故事还在紧张地进行着。由此推知,关于电子书借阅还有很多问题有待解决,故答案为D)。
