95、eturned to a physical library miles from where you live， book files can be downloaded at home.” 电子借阅非常方便。与印刷版书籍不同，电子书籍文件在家就可以下载，而不需要去离家几英里外的实体图书馆借阅和还书。可知，电子借阅非常方便，因此推断，出版商担心人们会转向图书借阅是因为图书销售可能会因为方便的电子借阅而急剧下降，故选A。【53题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Yet publishers and libraries are worried by Over Drives global marke

96、t dominance, as the company can control fees and conditions. ”然而出版商和图书馆担心Overdrive在全球市场的主导地位，因为该公司可以控制费用和条件。由此可推断出Over Drive对市场的主导控制感到担忧，对市场的控制威胁到出版商和图书馆，故答案为C。【54题详解】推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Late last year Amazon introduced its Kindle Owners Lending Library, which lets its best customers borrow free one of th

98、问题。“I wish that in one instant I could tell you of my safe arrival, but we are 3,000 miles apart and must wait for long weeks to hear from each other.” Samuel Morse was 20 when he wrote this sentence in a letter to his mother in 1811. He was in London studying art. She was at the home in Charlestown

99、, Mass, USA, where he had been born. Perhaps it was at the moment of writing the letter that young Morse first had the desire to bridge space with flying words. This desire was later to give the world the electric telegraph.Samuel returned in 1815 to work on history painting much admired in Europe.

100、Morse completed an oil painting The House of Representatives, expecting that this would bring him fame. But there was hardly any demand in the United Stated for history painting, and he unwillingly started to support himself by painting portraits. He was often close to poverty during his career as a

101、n artist.During a voyage from Europe to America in 1832, Morse met Thomas Jackson, a scientist who had recently attended lectures on electricity in Paris. Conversations with Jackson made the artist believe that an electrical current could be used for communication. During the rest of the voyage he w

102、orked excitedly on drawings for his plan. After his arrival at home, he abandoned his artistic career to give his full attention to the project.Morse had an fertile mind but little knowledge of electricity. He did years of work and study to perfect his invention. In 1837 he applied for a patent on T

106、s in a field, one must work hard and have interest in it.【解析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了享有盛誉的美国画家、电报之父塞缪尔莫尔斯。【56题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段的But there was hardly any demand in the United Stated for history painting, and he unwillingly started to support himself by painting portraits.可知，但当时美国对历史绘画几乎没有什么需求，于是他不情愿地开始靠画肖像画来养活自己。

107、由此可知，1815年莫尔斯从欧洲回来后发现了美国人对历史绘画兴趣不大。故填Americans had little interest in history painting.【57题详解】词句猜测题。根据Morse had an fertile mind but little knowledge of electricity. He did years of work and study to perfect his invention.(莫尔斯有fertile思想，但对电学却知之甚少。他做了多年的工作和研究，以完善他的发明)以及上下文对于他成就的描述可推知，他是一个聪明，有创造精神的人。故填

108、Creative/Clever/Original/inventive.【58题详解】主旨大意题。根据第三段段意“在1832年从欧洲到美国的航行中，莫尔斯遇到了托马斯杰克逊，一位最近在巴黎参加过关于电力讲座的科学家。与杰克逊的对话让这位艺术家相信电流可以用于交流”可知，第三段主要讲的是莫尔斯是如何有他的发明构思的。故填How Morse got the idea for his invention.【59题详解】推理判断题。根据全文可知，作者是按照时间的先后顺序叙述的。故填In order of time.【60题详解】推理判断题。根据塞缪尔莫尔斯的生活经历可知，要想在某一领域取得成功，就必须努
