1、武汉大学真题 2010年及答案解析(总分:100.00,做题时间:90 分钟)一、Part One Reading Com(总题数:5,分数:40.00)Amazon has given in to publisher pressure and agreed to abandon their $9.99 price point for e-Books.PuNisher Macmillan felt that the $9.99 price devalued many of its bestsellers, which often sell for $30 in hardcover format
2、. In response to the pricing dispute, Amazon briefly removed all Macmillan books from its store last week. However, the boycott lasted only a few days before Amazon gave in to Macmillans demands.In a statement Sunday, Amazon defended its position to customers:Macmillan, one of the “big six“ publishe
3、rs, has clearly communicated to us that, regardless of our viewpoint, they are committed to switching to an agency model and charging $12.99 to $14.99 for e-Book versions of bestsellers and most hardcover releases.We have expressed our strong disagreement and the seriousness of our disagreement by t
4、emporarily ceasing the sale of all Macmillan titles. We want you to know that ultimately, however, we will have to capitulate and accept Macmillans terms because Macmillan has a monopoly over their own titles, and we will want to offer them to you even at prices we believe are needlessly high for e-
5、Books.Amazons decision to throw in the towel may be related to Macmillans recent agreement to sell books in Apples iBookstore. Amazon has captured an overwhelming share of the e-Book market with its Kindle reader, but if the iPad becomes successful publishers may turn to Apple to sell their e-Books.
6、Publishers seem more interested in protecting the value of their hardcover books than competing in a digital format. Will higher e-Book prices convince you to purchase a physical copy of your next novel, or will you accept a modest price increase given that e-Books are typically cheaper?(分数:8.00)(1)
7、.What can be said of the pricing dispute between Amazon and Macmillan?A. Macmillan won the dispute. B. Amazon won the dispute.C. Neither of them won the dispute. D.

10、00)A.B.C.D.Drunken driving- sometimes called Americas socially accepted form of murder- has become a national epidemic (流行病) . Every hour of every day about three Americans on average are killed by drunken drivers.A drunken driver is usually defined as one with a 0.10 blood alcohol content or roughl
11、y three beers, glasses of wine or shots of whisky drunk within two hours. Heavy drinking used to be an acceptable part of the American man image and judges were tolerant in most courts, but the drunken slaughter has recently caused so many well-publicized tragedies, especially involving young childr
12、en, that public opinion is no longer so tolerant.Twenty states have raised the legal drinking age to 21, reversing a trend in the 1960s to reduce it to 18. After New Jersey lowered it to 18, the number of people killed by 18-20-year-old drivers more than doubled, so the state recently upped it back
13、to 21. Reformers, however, fear raising the drinking age will have little effect unless accomplished by educational programs to help young people to develop “responsible attitudes“ about drinking and teach them to resist pressure to drink.Tough new laws have led to increased arrests and tests and, i
14、n many areas already, to a marked decline in fatalities. Some states are also penalizing bars for serving customers too many drinks. A tavern (酒店主) in Massachusetts was fined for serving six or more double brandies to a customer who was “obviously intoxicated“ and later drove off the road, killing a
15、 nine-year-old boy.As the fatalities continue to occur daily in every state, some Americans are even beginning to speak well of the 13 years of national prohibition of alcohol that began in 1919. They forget that legal prohibition didnt stop drinking, but encouraged political corruption and organize
16、d crime. As with the booming drug trade generally, there is no easy solution.(分数:8.00)(1).Drunken driving has become a major problem in America because_A. most Americans are heavy drinkersB. Americans are now less shocked by road accidentsC. Accidents attract so much publicityD. Drinking is a social
17、ly accepted habit in America(分数:2.00)A.B.C.D.(2).Statistics issued in New Jersey suggested that_A. many drivers were not of legal ageB. young people were often bad driversC. the level of drinking increased in the 1960sD. the legal drinking age should be raised(分数:2.00)A.B.C.D.(3).Laws recently intro
18、duced in some states have_A. reduced the number of convictionsB. resulted in fewer serious accidentsC. prevented bars from serving drunken customersD. specified the amount drivers can drink(分数:2.00)A.B.C.D.(4).The problem of drunken driving is difficult to solve because_A. alcohol is easily obtained
19、B. drinking is linked to organized crimeC. legal prohibiting has already failedD. legislation alone is not sufficient(分数:2.00)A.B.C.D.The most widespread fallacy of all is that colds are caused by cold. They are actually caused by viruses passing on from person to person. You catch a cold by coming
20、into contact, directly or indirectly, with someone who already has one. If cold causes colds, it would be reasonable to expect the Eskimos to suffer from them forever. But they do not. And in the isolated Arctic Regions explorers have reported being free from colds until coming into contact again wi
21、th infected people from the outside world by way of packages and mail dropped from airplanes.At the Common Cold Research Unit in England, volunteers took part in experiments in which they gave themselves to the discomforts of being cold and wet for long stretches of time. After taking hot baths, the
22、y put on bathing suits, allowed themselves to be with cold water, and then stood about dripping wet in drafty rooms. Some wore wet socks all day while others exercised in the rain until close to exhaustion. Not one of the volunteers came down with a cold unless a cold virus was actually dropped in h
23、is nose. If, then, cold and wet have nothing to do with catching colds, why are they more frequent in the winter? Despite the most pains-taking research, no one has yet found the answer. One explanation offered by scientists is that people tend to stay together indoors more in cold weather than at o
24、ther times, and this makes it easier for cold viruses to be passed on. No one has yet found a cure for the cold. There are drugs and pain suppressors such as aspiring, but all they do is relieve the symptoms.(分数:8.00)(1).Which of the following does NOT agree with the chosen passage?A. The Eskimos do
