??????? It's a model many publishers seem to have embraced. More than 350 gave the company rights to hand out their digital works，and McGraw-Hill Corporation and Houghton Mifflin Corporation have put money in the company. The California public libraries and about 1，800 others across the US are trying out the Net Library service.

　　Some librarians criticize the New Library model. Stanford University librarian Michael Keller argues that the company is creating an unnatural fear of digital woks, which is contrary to the ideas of the Internet.

　　Kelle and some other librarians argue for the e-book vision set forth by E-Brary. E-Brary is starting a service that lets us users read books for free.

　　But it will charge about 25 cents a page when a person tries to print out material or copy and paste it into a different file or tries to download copy onto a computer.

　　Christopher Warnock，chief executive of E-Brarw, believes most consumers won't want to buy entire books，only the parts that interest them.

　　“There's not really a lot of good in owning an electronic file and having to store it and manage it.It doesn't make sense.”he said.

　　1. How do publishers get money from the Net Library?

　　A. They get money from selling their books to the Net Library.

　　B. They share the money with the Net Library.

　　C. They get money by cutting the cost of the books.

　　D. They get the money from the readers.

　　3. From the 2nd paragraph we can see consumers ______.

　　A. don't care if they are charged money

　　B. enjoy the service of the Net Library

　　C. don't like other people borrowing books

　　D. complain about the limited number of the new books

　　4. What does the last paragraph mean?

　　A. Net Library is not a good way for the consumers.

　　B. There is no need for consumers to have a whole book.

　　C. E瑽rary is not a good library for the consumners.

　　D. It's reasonable to charge the consumers money for copying some pages.

　　Ⅲ. 閱讀簡答(10 min.)s certainly cannot run away, and they lack teeth and claws. But plants can defend themselves by using both physical and chemical means.

　　Some plants have their own ways to keep animals away. For example, the leaves of the holly plant have sharp spines (刺) that discourage grass-eating animals. Holly leaves on lower branches have more spines than leaves on upper branches. This is because the lower leaves are easier for most animals to reach.eaves that are difficult for animals to eat. Some grasses may contain a sandy material; eating such grasses wears down the animal's teeth.

　　Many plants also have chemical defenses. Some plants produce chemicals that taste bitter or cause an unpleasant reaction. Some plants may fight against an attack by increasing the production of these chemicals. When a caterpillar (毛蟲) bites a tobacco leaf, the leaf produces a chemical messenger. This messenger sends to the roots the information to produce more nicotine. The higher levels of nicotine discourage the caterpillar.

　　Many plants depend on both physical and chemical defenses. A certain plant in China, for instance, has prickly (多刺的) leaves, (毒液). A single experience with this kind of plant will teach an animal to stay away from it in the future.　1. Why does the Holly plant have more spines on the lower leaves?

　　Dear president，

　　Next year I will have a chance to go to study at university. I expect the university life very much. I hear many freshmen are at a loss what to do when they are at university. Usually they don't have true friends, so most time they are feeling lonely and homesick. Most of the children nowadays are only-ones in family. Only-one child may be more fragile, less independent. They don't know how to share with others, in other words, they are selfish. As a result, they don't make true friends. So when they come to a new environment, without anyone to look after them, their lives seem to be out of order. Besides, their blindness to university life counts a little. They don't have a clear idea of what university life is.

　　Yours，

　　Li Hua
