purchase the different textbooks that they need for their classes.Little do these students realize that，in doing so，they are throwing good money away.It may sound unbelievable but textbooks，in some cases，actually cost as much as，if not more than college fees.Many people think that college bookstores are the most convenient source for textbooks.Titles are usually kept and students may purchase new textbooks or choose to buy secondhand books and save money.But the money saved by purchasing secondhand textbooks from college bookstores is small compared to the amount they could save by shopping online.More and more online booksellers have begun selling textbooks at heavily discounted prices.Online secondhand bookstores are another source for college books as they keep a large number of textbooks，which means sizable savings for students.Students should avoid purchasing their textbooks at the first store that they surf online since there are so many “unreal” booksellers on the Net.Price isnt the only factor to consider when making an online purchase.Students should also consider shopping costs and delivery time when making their decision.Online auctions(拍卖) are another option for students seeking a bargain.This option，however，has its pros_and_cons.A plus is that students can get incredibly cheap books.One problem is that while online bookstores have a system in place that ensure you receive your order within a reasonable amount of time，with an auction purchase，however，you must depend on the auction sellers timetable.One way that students can really save is by getting books for free.Project Gutenberg is one resource that English majors will find invaluable.Here students can legally download a huge collection of classic novels.In the past students needing help with their studies would often have to spend a lot of money buying expensive study guides.Today that is no longer the case.Cashstrapped students can now visit the website SparkNotes for free downloadable study guides as well as classics.9Which of the following is the best title of this passage?ALearning to Save on TextbooksBWhy Buy TextbooksCOnline ShoppingDTips for Buying Secondhand Textbooks答案A解析标题归纳题。本文主要讲在线购书比去学校书店买更节省，最后一段还介绍了一种能免费获得教科书的节省的方法，所以本文主要讲在教科书方面怎样省钱。故选A。10Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a source to obtain textbooks?ACollege bookstores.BOnline used bookstores.COnline auctions.DSecondhand bookstore centres.答案D解析细节理解题。第一段讲到college bookstore；第三段第二句“Online secondhand bookstores are another source for college books.”提到了在线二手书书店；第四段讲到在线拍卖，但始终没提到D项。11The underlined expression “pros and cons”(Paragraph 4) is closest in meaning to “_”Aprofessionals and conservativesBjoy and sadnessCadvantages and disadvantagesDprocesses and conditions答案C解析词义猜测题。根据画线词下面两句的解释“A plus is that.One problem is that.”可知，“pros and cons”指“正反两方面”，即“优点和缺点”，与C项意思相同。12According to the passage，Project Gutenberg is probably _.Aa government project aimed at helping English majorsBa project to help poor students get free learning materialsCa website for English majors to get the guides from language expertsDa website for students to get free sources for English learning答案D解析推理判断题。文章最后一段“Project Gutenberg is one resource that English majors will find invaluable.Here students can legally download a huge collection of classic novels.”说明它是一个可以为英语学习获取免费资源的网站。故选D。DPlaya La Audiencia，ManzanilloPlaya La Audiencia is one of the most popular beaches in Manzanillo for families and one of the best beach spots along Mexicos
