Net Libray is a library that lends out digitalbooks. It treats a digital  like a  paperback copy. It charges libraries per book per copy and gives publishers a cut of  the total income.

  From the consumer’s point of view,this means that if more than,Say, five people want the latest Danielle Steel romance novel,other people who request  that book will get a message saying the title can’t be found.

   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.

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

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

D.They get the money from the readers.

6.The underlined word“embraced”in the 3rd paragraph means .

C.don’t like other people borrowing books

D.complain about the limited number of the new books

8.What does the last paragraph mean?

任务型阅读(每小题1分,满分10分)
请认真阅读下列短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意:每个空格只填1个单词。请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。
The e-book is a downloadable book that can be put right onto your e-reader, certain cell-phones and computers. There are websites that sell e-books where you can buy them and load them right onto whatever device you choose. The e-book makes it possible to take reading with you, without the mess of carrying dozens of books around with you.
However, not all book authors are okay with having their books in digital format(格式). The writer of Harry Potter says that her books will never be an e-book, and many just like her feel the same way. However, there are lots of authors who absolutely love the idea and feel it’s the next step to keep books alive.
The e-book can be loaded onto an e-reader which is a mini-device that is slim and compact just like a cell phone. It usually has a touch pad screen and can hold a few hundred books. That ’s perfect news for people who travel on planes or go on holidays and would love to take a collection with them but wouldn’t carry fifty hard covers.
The other great thing about e-readers is that you can read e-books on them quickly and there’s no need for two hands to hold the book and turn the page; it is more convenient for people to read it. Most of them also have a nightlight, so if you want to read at night but don’t want a big light on to wake your partner, the e-reader is ideal. You can also use it on a plane, train or bus when it’s dark.
Websites that sell e-books have their sites looking just like ordinary bookstore websites. There is a list for best sellers and a new release section. There are also e-books on sale and gift certificates available to give to someone who also downloads e-books. They seem to cost the same amount of money as buying a paperback book.
