Ten years ago, many people thought that the age of the physical book（纸质书） was coming to an end． The objects that had been the companions（伙伴） of millions of readers for hundreds of years were about to die out． Soon, we'd all be reading on little electronic screens and laughing at the memory of places called "libraries" and "bookshops"． But it seems not true about the idea of the death of the physical books． At least in the UK, as The Guardian noted, sales of e﹣books are falling while sales of paper books are rising． More surprisingly, it's young people who are buying the most physicalbooks． More than 60 percent of 16﹣to﹣24﹣year﹣olds preferred print books to e﹣books． The most popular reason given was: "I like to hold the product．"Books become very personal objects to lovers of reading． It often starts with the waythey get them． Many buyers of books like to write down their name on the inside cover when they've bought one． And we carry books around with us everywhere．If there's a mark made on the pages from coffee or food, it doesn't matter． These accidents make the book ﹣ our book ﹣ even more personal． It's as if readers of physical books make friends with them．Of course, some could say that the devices on which people read e﹣books, like Kindles and iPads are also objects that we like． But it isn't quite the same． A Kindle, can hold as many pieces of writing as a whole library． But a story we remember from our time turning its pages in our favourite armchair enters our memory forever． Physical books are as valuable to some readers as items of jewelry or photographs of family members．This "friendship" people develop with books isn't just about feelings． Research has shown that readers remember more information read from physical books than electronic ones．However, there's no doubt e﹣books are here to stay． They aren't simply a "heretoday, gone tomorrow" thing． But it's also certain that physical books, which have been in production since the fifteenth century, are here to stay, too．（1）What can be inferred from the passage？________A Physical books will soon no longer be made．B Sales of e﹣books and print booksare both rising． C Lovers of physical books are mostly old people． D Physicalbooks are making a comeback in the UK．．（2）Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a feature of physical books？________A Readers can form a very close relationship with their books．B Physical books may carry readers' valuable memories．C Readers get more information from physical books than e﹣books．D It is easier for readers to make notes on physical books．．（3）Why did the author write this article？________A To explain why physical books will not disappear soon．B To describe different reading tastes in the UK．C To explain what makes physical books personal．D To recommend that readers read more physical books．19. Shay and his father had walked past a park where some boys Shay knew were playing baseball． Shay asked, "Do you think they'll let me play? " Shay's father knew that most ofthe boys would not want someone like Shay on their team, but the father also understood that if his son, who was disabled, were allowed to play, it would give him some confidence． Shay's father came to one of the boys on the field and asked if Shay could play, not expecting much．The boy looked around and said, "We're losing by six runs（分） and the game is in the eighth inning（局）． I guess he can be on our team and we'll try to put him in to bat（击球） in the final inning．Shay came to the team's bench and put on a team shirt with a smile and his father had a small tear in his eye and warmth in his heart． The boys saw the father's joy at his son being accepted．In the bottom of the eighth inning, Shay's team scored a few runs but was still behind by three． In the top of the final inning, Shay put on a glove and played in the field． He was clearly glad just to be in the game and on the field． In the bottom of the final inning, Shay's team scored again． Now, next was Shay at bat． Would they let Shay bat and give awaytheir chance to win the game?Surprisingly, Shay was given the bat． Everyone knew that a hit was almost impossible． The first pitch（投） came and Shay missed． The pitcher again took a few steps forward to throw the ball softly towards Shay． As the pitch came in, Shay hit a slow ground ball right back to the pitcher．The pitcher could have easily thrown the ball to the first baseman and Shay would have been out and that would have been the end of the game． Instead, the pitcher threw the ball right over the head of the first baseman, beyond the reach of all teammates, The audience and the players from both teams started screaming, "Shay, run to first! " Never in his life had Shay ever run that far but made it to first base．Everyone shouted． "Run to second!" Catching his breath, Shay ran towards second． By the time Shay rounded towards second base, the smallest guy on their team, who had a chance to be the hero for his team for the first time, could have thrown the ball to the second baseman, but he understood the pitcher and he too threw the ball high and far over the third baseman's head．All were screaming, "Shay, Shay, Shay, all the way Shay．" Shay reached third base when one opposing player ran to help him and shouted, "Shay, run to third．" As Shay rounded third, all were on their feet, crying, "Shay, run home!" Shay ran to home, stepped on thehome base and was cheered as the hero who won the game for his team．That day, the boys from both teams helped bring a piece true love into this world． Shay didn't make it to another summer and died that winter, having never forgotten being the hero and making his parents so happy!（1）Why was Shay given the bat in the bottom of the final inning？________A Because the boys believed they were sure to win the game．B Because the boys would like to help Shay enjoy the game．C Because the boys found Shay hoped to be a winner．D Because the boys were forced to give Shay another chance．．（2）The smallest boy threw the ball high and far over the third baseman's head，probably because that boy________．A was clearly aware of the pitcher's purposeB looked forward to winning the game for his teamC failed to throw the ball to the second basemanD saw that Shay already reached second base．（3）Which of the following has nothing to do with Shay's becoming the hero for his team？________A The pitcher did not throw the ball to the first baseman．B The audience and the players from both teams cheered for him．C The opposing players failed to stop his running to home．D One of the opposing players ran to help him．．（4）What do you think is the theme of the story？________A True human nature could be realized in the way we treat each other．B Everyone has his own strength even if he is disabled．C Everyone can develop his team spirit in sports and make his parents happy．D The results of the game should not be the only purpose of the players．四、词汇运用（共8分）（A）根据句意和汉语注释，在答题卡对应题号的横线上，写出单词的正确形式．20.
