What do students think of e-textbooks? Administrators at Northwest Missouri State University wanted to find out. 16 this year, they tested them with 500 students in 20 classes. The university is unusual. It not only 17 laptop computers to all 7,000 of its full-time students. It does not require students to buy their textbooks, either. They rent them to save money. The school aims to save even more by moving to e-textbooks. The students in the survey reported 18 downloading the books from the Internet was easy. They liked the idea of carrying lighter backpacks. And 56% said they were better able to find information. But most found that using e-textbooks did not change their study 19 . And 60% felt they read more when they were reading on paper. In all, almost half the students said they still liked physical textbooks better. But the survey found that cost could be a big influence. 55% said they would choose e-textbooks if using them meant their textbook rental fee would not increase. The administrators are disappointed with the e-textbooks now available because the majority are not interactive, for now, most of the books are just words on a screen. It is believed growth will come when more 20 books include video, activities, games and other ways to interact.

第一节：（共10 小题； 每小题 2 分， 满分 20分）

A

A South African farmer is receiving phone calls from his sheep after equipping them with cell phones to keep tabs on the flock?amid?recent?livestock?thefts, according to local press Wednesday.

When the sheep call, it is always bad news for farmer Erard Louw of the Cape Town suburbs, as the phones around their necks are only set to switch on when the sheep start running, a sign that thieves have cut through the fences.

"As they run it gives me a phone call and says 'Sheep One' or 'Sheep Two' and so on, so at least I know where to start looking because the farm is 750 hectares (1,850 acres)," Louw told the Cape Times daily.

Louw attached the phone-like security device to the collars of four sheep in separate flocks after thieves sneaked in and stole 27 sheep and 13?lambs a couple of weeks ago, driving Louw to rack his brains for ways to protect his animals.

He said there was no use calling nearby police, as they were stationed too far away and in his experience they either lacked an available car or the vehicle was out of fuel or missing tyres -- also the work of thieves.

According to Louw, the cell phones have already proved their worth, with one sheep-snatcher?caught thanks to the device.

Still, with theft attempts currently at their peak, given long winter nights and early nightfall, a few sheep-robbers managed to get away in spite of the device.

"The phone did start ringing that night and I went out," he said, but added that he was too late.

51. Why did Erard Louw attach the phone-like device to the sheep he raises?

A. Because he thought it was fun to do.

B. Because the police there didn’t care about animals.

C. Because he liked hi-tech very much.

D. Because he wanted to protect them against thieves.

52. What does the underlined expression in Paragraph 4 probably mean?

Try very hard to remember or think of something.

Have a headache.

Make the brain bi
gger.

Shake the brain from side to side.

53. You can most probably read this passage______.

A. in a book

B. in a dictionary

C. in a newspaper

D. in a novel

B

Scientists know of more than 1,000 volcanoes on the surface of Venus, Earth’s “sis
