Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.
Passage 1:
 Will people still read books 100 years from now? A few years ago, many people would have said no. It seemed likely that 
 computers and the Internet would replace books. Now, however, most experts think that books are here to stay.
 There are a number of reasons why computers will not replace books entirely. One reason is that books on paper are much 
 cheaper than computers. And books do not need a power source. You can read a book for as long as you want and wherever you 
 want. You never have to worry about losing power. Also, many people feel more comfortable reading words in a book than 
 reading words on a computer screen because it is less tiring to the eyes.
 Will books in the future be exactly the same as the books you can buy today? The answer to that question is no. In the future, 
 you may only need to buy one book. With this one book, you will be able to read novels, plays, and newspapers. It will look like 
 today's books, but it will be electronic.
 One of the people working on the book of the future is Professor Joseph Jacobson from Massachusetts Institute of 
 Technology. Professor Jacobson's electronic book will have a small button on the side. When you press the button, words 
 will instantly appear on the page. When you want to read a different story, you can push the button again and a new story will 
 quickly appear.
 Question 31: The phrase “are here to stay” in the first paragraph mostly means .
 A. “won’t come” B. “are nearby” C. “won't disappear” D. “are useless”
 Question 32: Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
 A. Reading today’s books needs a power source. B. Reading words on computer screens is tiring to the eyes.
 3 C. In the future, computers will replace paper books completely. D. Books will disappear completely sooner or later.
 Question 33: What will the book of the future look like?
 A. It will look like a book you buy today. B. It will look like a computer.
 C. It will look different from today's books. D. We don't know what it will look like.
 Question 34: The button on the side of the electronic book is used .
 A. to turn a light on and off B. to change what you read
 C. to turn the power on and off D. to make the book more beautiful
 Question 35: What is the main topic of the passage?
 A. The decline of today's books. B. How to use an electronic book.
 C. The book of the future. D. Why a power source is important.
Passage 2:
 Coincident with concerns about the accelerating loss of species and habitats has been growing appreciation of the importance 
of biological diversity, the number of species in a particular ecosystem, to the health of the Earth and human well-being. Much has 
been written about the diversity of terrestrial organisms, particularly the exceptionally rich life associated with tropical rain-forest 
habitats. Relatively little has been said, however, about diversity of life in the sea even though coral reef systems are comparable to 
rain forests in terms of richness of life.
 An alien exploring Earth would probably give priority to the planet’s dominants, most-distinctive feature - the ocean. Humans 
have a bias toward land that sometimes gets in the way of truly examining global issues. Seen from far away, it is easy to realize that 
landmasses occupy only one-third of the Earth’s surface. Given that two thirds of the Earth’s surface is water and that marine life lives 
at all levels of the ocean, the total three-dimensional living space of the ocean is perhaps 100 times greater than that of land and 
contains more than 90 percent of all life on Earth even though the ocean has fewer distinct species.
The fact that half of the known species are thought to inhabit the world’s rain forests does not seem surprising, considering the huge 
number of insects that comprise the bulk of the species. One scientist found many different species of ants in just one tree from a 
rain forest. While every species is different from every other species, their genetic makeup constrains them to be insects and to share 
similar characteristics with 750,000 species of insects. If basic, broad categories such as phyla and classes are given more emphasis 
than differentiating between species, then the greatest diversity of life is unquestionably the sea. Nearly every major type of plant and 
animal has some representation there.
 To appreciate fully the diversity and abundance of life in the sea, it helps to think small. Every spoonful of ocean water contains 
life, on the order of 100 to 100,000 bacterial cells plus assorted microscopic plants and animals, including larvae of organisms ranging 
from sponges and corals to starfish and clams and much more.
