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.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions from 46 to 50.
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 46: The phrase “are here to stay” in the first paragraph mostly means ______.
A. “won’t come”
B. “are useless”
C. “are nearby”
D. “won't disappear”
Question 47: 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.
C. Books will disappear completely sooner or later.
D. In the future, computers will replace paper books completely.

A. We don't know what it will look like.
B. It will look like a book you buy today.
C. It will look different from today's books.
D. It will look like a computer.
Question 49: The button on the side of the electronic book is used ______.
A. to make the book more beautiful
B. to turn a light on and off
C. to change what you read
D. to turn the power on and off
Question 50: What is the main topic of the passage?

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions from 41 to 45.
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 41: The phrase “are here to stay” in the first paragraph mostly means ______.
A. “are useless”
B. “won’t come”
C. “are nearby”
D. “won't disappear”
Question 42: Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Books will disappear completely sooner or later.
B. In the future, computers will replace paper books completely.
C. Reading words on computer screens is tiring to the eyes.
D. Reading today’s books needs a power source.
Question 43: What will the book of the future look like?
A. It will look like a book you buy today.
B. It will look different from today's books.
C. We don't know what it will look like.
D. It will look like a computer.
Question 44: The button on the side of the electronic book is used ______.
A. to turn a light on and off
B. to make the book more beautiful
C. to turn the power on and off
D. to change what you read
Question 45: What is the main topic of the passage?
A. How to use an electronic book.
B. Why a power source is important.
C. The book of the future.
D. The decline of today's books.
