［解析］ 此题属于事实细节题。事实细节类考题在历次三级考试中出现的频率最高，几乎占到整个阅读考题的95%以上。事实细节题是指针对原文提到的事物、现象或理论等进行
提问，它主要涉及主要人物、主要事件、主要情节、主要过程、主要的原因和结果、主要的数据及主要的时间和地点等内容。辨认文中事实与细节可从以下几个步骤入手：（1）先确定文章中心思想；（2）带着问题有目的去读，找出特定事实与细节。迅速确认题干中关键词/词组，到文中的相应位置周围寻找同义词/词组、近义词最熟悉的人作文/词组（有时关键词/词组会以其他词性形式出现），它们往往引出所需正确答案，即运用“回文查读定位法”；（3）注意区分作者观点和事实；（4）注意句与句、段落之间表达因果、顺序等关系的连接词，比如as a result, first, cond等。一般来说，题目排列的次序与文章的结构基本是一致的，即题目需要的信息点在文章中是按顺序出现的。解题时，可首先仔细阅读题干，找出关键词或词组，然后在原文中找到相关的句子，从选项中找出与原文描述相对应的、符合原文意思的一项。依据题干信息和选项关键词can be read，可知答案对应句在短文的第二句“But if you want to read an ebook, you must have an Ebook Reader, which is a kind of free software ud by your computer.”，由此可推知正确答案为D)。

［答案］ C)
［解析］ 此题属于判断正误题。判断题也称是非题，用于询问文中所述事实的真实性或非真实性。这类试题与事实细节题稍有不同。事实细节题的答案一般均包括在原文的内容中，与文章中所述事实有直接或间接的关系，而判断题的答案或是被排除在文章内容之外（一正三误），或是只有正确答案包括在文章内容中（三正一误）。因此，在解答这类试题时，或将与原文有关的三个选项排除，或把与原文无关的三个选项排除，自然而然，剩下的一个通常就是正确答案。做这类题目时，考生一定要先读懂问题及选择项，然后带着问题去读文章，运用扫读，寻找原文中的相关语言信息，与选项对照，逐一排除错误选项，这样既可提高阅读速度，又能保证答题的准确率。根据短文第一句“An ebook (also referred to as an electronic book, eBook, or e-book) is a digital version (版本) of a print book that you download and read.”， 可把选项A)予以排除；根据短文第四句“The software allows you to turn the words on the screen into the size you like.”， 可把选项B)予以排除；根据短文最后一句“The amount of time it takes to download your ebook depends on the speed of your connection and the size of your ebook.”，可推断出选项C)为正确答案；而根据短文第五句“Ebooks are a fun alternative to regular books.”，可把选项D)予以排除。

［解析幸运的英语］ 此题属于主旨大意题。此类题主要考查考生对整篇文章或段落的理解和概括能力，主要涉及文章的中心思想、主题和标题等，答案往往在主题句中。通常，主旨/段意由主题句或段首句体现，非常容易发现，有时也位于文尾或段尾，这种方式叫显性主旨/段意；另一种是隐含在文中的，需要读者用自己的话去概括或总结，叫做隐性主旨/段意。在回答主旨题时，务必选择高度概括的选项，答案越概括越好，涵盖面越广越好。完成显性的主旨题时要注意选项和文中的同义词、近义词，不同的语法结构和不同的视角对这些内
容的重述，而隐性的主旨题由于文中没有现成的句子表达，需要读者通过上下文总结概括。此题属于显性的主旨题。短文第一句“An ebook (also referred to as an electronic book, eBook, or e-book) is a digital version (版本) of a print book that you download and read.”就对the Ebooks进行了解释和定义，接下来对the Ebooks的具体使用方法等内容进行介绍，据此可知这篇文章的主要内容是介绍the Ebooks，所以正确答案为B)。
