The portable, paperless e-newspapers would be a huge environmental win, eliminating the need to cut down trees and burn gasoline delivering the traditional folded parcels to readers’ driveways. Like many technologies, however, e-paper has been slow to take off. In the past year, since Amazon introduced its Kindle electronic reading device, thousands of Americans have experienced the pleasures of e-books — but for most people, e-newspapers aren’t yet a reality.
Millions of us already read paperless newspapers and magazines on the Web, but e-newspapers would offer different benefits for both readers and publishers. For consumers who already spend too many hours staring at PC screens, e-newspapers would offer portability and a simple reading environment, free from e-mail bells ringing or instant messages popping up mid-paragraph. Among publishers, there’s real hope readers will pay subscription fees for those benefits, and that advertisers will pay considerably more for ads on e-readers than they do on the Web.
For a primitive look at how e-newspapers might work, consider the Kindle. Amazon currently offers 24 newspapers for use on the device. Subscribers pay $5.99 to $14.99 per month, and each issue arrives wirelessly before sunrise. However, e-reader enthusiasts describe reading a newspaper on the Kindle as disappointing. The Kindle’s black-and-white screen doesn’t handle photographs or graphics well, and its e-papers carry no advertising. Instead of offering well-designed pages that entice readers to skim a story they might otherwise skip, today’s e-newspapers merely list headlines or tops of articles, which makes it hard to decide what’s worth reading.
Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.
26. Which can best describe the benefit of e-newspapers?
27. What can we learn about Kindle?
28. Which is the disappointing feature of reading e-newspapers on the Kindle?
选项
A、It keeps readers away from the PC.
B、It helps a lot with environment protection.
C、It costs less than buying traditional newspapers.
D、It will become the best means of advertisements.
答案
B
解析
选项中的It,helps…environment protection,costsless等表明,本题考查It的优点,It很可能指电子报纸。短文开头提到The…e-newspapers would be a huge environmental win,eliminating the need to cut down trees and burn gasoline…,[B](它对环保有很大帮助)正是对此的同义转述,故答案为[B]。
