Every year many students went to the college bookstore to purchase the different textbooks that they need for their classes. Little do these students realize that, in doing so, they are throwing good money away. It may sound unbelievable but textbooks, in some cases, actually cost as much as, if not more than, college fees.
Many people think that college bookstores are the most convenient source for textbooks. Titles are usually kept and students may purchase new textbooks or choose to buy second-hand books and save money. But the money saved by purchasing second-hand textbooks from college bookstores is small compared to the amount they could save by shopping online.
More and more online booksellers have begun selling textbooks at heavily discounted prices. Online second-hand bookstores are another source for college books as they keep a large number of textbooks, which means sizable savings for students. Students should avoid purchasing their textbooks at the first store that they surf online since there are so many ?unreal? booksellers on the Net. Price isn't the only factor to consider when making an online purchase. Students should also consider shopping costs and delivery time when making their decision.
Online auctions(拍卖) are another option for students seeking a bargain. This option, however, has its pros and cons. A plus is that students can get incredibly cheap books. One problem is that while online bookstores have a system in place that ensure you receive your order within a reasonable amount of time, with an auction purchase, however, you must depend on the auction seller's timetable.
One way that students can really save is by getting books for free. Project Gutenberg is one resource that English majors will find invaluable. Here students can legally download a huge collection of classic novels. In the past students needing help with their studies would often have to spend a lot of money buying expensive study guides. Today that is no longer the case.
Cash-strapped students can now visit the website SparkNotes for free downloadable study guides as well as classics.
31. Which of the following is the best title of this passage? A. Learning to Save on Textbooks C.Online Shopping 【答案】A
【解析】标题归纳题。本文主要讲在线购书比去学校书店买更节省，最后一段还介绍了一种能免费获得教科书的节省的方法。所以本文主要讲在教科书方面怎样省钱。故选A. 32. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a source to obtain textbooks ? A. College bookstores. C.Online auctions. 【答案】Dks5u
【解析】细节理解题。第一段讲到A.College bookstores。第三段“Online second-hand bookstores are another source for college books …...”提到了B（在线二手书）。第四段讲C.在线拍卖。但始终没提到D。
33. The underlined expression “pros and cons” (paragraph 4) is closest in meaning to __________. A. professionals and conservatives C.advantages and disadvantages 【答案】C
【解析】词义猜测题。“pros and cons” 指“正反两方面”，即“优点和缺点”。与C意思相同。 34. According to the passage, Project Gutenberg is probably __________. A. a government project aimed at helping English majors B. a project to help poor students get free learning materials
C. a website for English majors to get the guides from language experts D.a website for students to get free sources for English learning 【答案】D
【解析】推理判断题。文章最后一段“Project Gutenberg is one resource that English majors will find invaluable. Here students can legally download a huge collection of classic novels.”说明 “Project Gutenberg”是英语专业学生认为非常贵重的资源，学生可以在这儿合法地下载大量经典小说收藏。因此它是一个学生可以为英语学习获取免费资源的网站。故选D。
B. joy and sadness
B. Online used bookstores. D. Second-hand bookstore centres.
B. Why Buy Textbooks
D. Tips for Buying Secondhand Textbooks
D. processes and conditions
35. From the passage, we can learn that__________.
A. the cost of textbooks in college is low compared to the amount spent on tuition B. online auctions are perfect for students seeking text books C. students should visit many websites before buying their books
D.students should consider shopping costs and delivery time above all else when making their buying decision 【答案】C
【解析】细节理解题。文章第一段“It may sound unbelievable but textbooks, in some cases, actually cost as much as, if not more than, college fees.”说明听起来可能难以置信，但在某些情况下，教科书的费用即使不比大学学费多，也是持平的。故A不对。文章第四段“Online auctions(拍卖) are another option for students seeking a bargain. This option, however, has its pros and cons.”说明在线拍卖也是有利有弊的，而不是完美的。故B错误。第三段“Price isn't the only factor to consider when making an online purchase. Students should also consider shopping costs and delivery time when making their decision.”说价格不是网购唯一考虑的因素，学生在做决定之前也要考虑购物成本和交货时间。能看出学生在作出购买决定之前应该首要考虑购物成本和交货时间，但不是首要考虑的。故D错误。第三段“Students should avoid purchasing their textbooks at the first store that they surf online since there are so many ?unreal? booksellers on the Net. ”说明学生应该避免在他们搜索到的第一个店购买教科书，因为网上有太多不真实的书商。所以在买书之前应该看许多网站，故C正确。

LEEDS, England—A Leeds University psychology professor is teaching a course to help dozens of Britons forgive their enemies.
\anger can lead to problems such as high blood pressure and heart disease.
More than 70 people have become members in Hart's first 20-week workshop in London—a course he says is the first of its kind in the world.
These are people who are sick and tired of living with a memory. They realize their bitterness is a poison they think they can pour out, but they end up drinking it themselves, said Canadian- born Hart.
The students meet in groups of eight to ten for a two-hour workshop with an adviser every
fortnight.
The course, ending in July, is expected to get rid of the cancer of hate in these people. \with forgetting. Forgiveness means changing from a negative attitude to a positive one.\
Hart and his team have created instructions to provide the training needed.
\they affect you, and how to change your attitudes towards the person you are angry with,\Norman Claringbull, a senior expert on the forgiveness project.
Hart said he believes forgiveness is a skill that can be taught, as these people \free of the past\
36. From this passage we know that________.
A. high blood pressure and heart disease are caused by hate B. high blood pressure can only be cured by psychology professors
C. without hate, people will have less trouble connected with blood and heart D. people who suffer from blood pressure and heart disease must have many enemies 【答案】C
【解析】细节理解题。文章第二段“......holding in anger can lead to problems such as high blood pressure and heart disease.”说明心怀愤怒可能导致如高血压和心脏病之类的问题。所以没有仇恨，人们将有更少和血液心脏有关的麻烦。故选C。 37. If you are angry with somebody, you should________.
A. attend Hart?s course
B. never meet him or her any longer
C. persuade him or her to have a positive talk with you D.treat him or her positively instead of negatively 【答案】D
