to each of the questions from 5 to 9.
It was widely reported last year that sales of guidebooks are falling fast, thanks to developments in the
Internet and mobile phones. It makes sense. Why bother taking a heavy book with you when you can down
all the information you need to your phone as you walk around the cathedral?
Writing a new book about a place is a rewarding job, but one that is becoming a rarity. Publishers are
more concerned with keeping existing books up to date than bringing out new ones in an already crowded
market. This is understandable, since every guidebook is actually out of date as soon as it is published. It
may have been researched a year before being printed and it could have sat on the bookshop shelf for a year
or two, so its information might be three years old by the time the reader uses it in practice. It is hardly
surprising, therefore, that some publishers are inviting almost as much in updating and redesigning their
books as they did creating them. Updating guides is nowadays a good way for new writers to get started.
But if the Internet via a mobile phone can deliver information just as well as printed paper but much
faster, at almost no cost, is there a future for printed guidebook? Other books you read at home, but a travel
guide's main purposes for urgent reference when you're desperate to find accommodation or somewhere to
eat. Using a modern cellphone, any traveller can now enjoy a “paperless holiday”. Want to know the
opening times of the museum? Look them up online. Need some information on the ancient building you're
standing in? Download it.
Question 5: The word " researched” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to _______.
A. developed B. prevented C. studied D. surrounded
Question 6: Which could be the best title for the passage?
A. Guidebooks on the Brink of Extinction
B. Enjoying a Paperless Holiday
C. Guidebooks Flourishing Despite the IT Revolution?
D. Guidebooks in Decline: What's the Future?
Question 7: Which of the following is NOT stated in paragragh 3?.
A. A travel guide's main purposes for urgent reference when you find accommodation
B. Mobile phone can deliver information just as well as printed paper
C. The information found in a guidebook is always up-to-date and reliable.
D. Traveller can now enjoy a “paperless holiday by using a modern cellphone
Question 8: In paragraph 2, before writing and publishing their books, some publishers find almost as many
resources _______.
A. to spend a year researching things needed for their books
B. to the update and redesign of their books
C. to prefer an already crowded market for their books
D. to prove incomprehensible to lay people
Question 9: The word "them” in paragraph 3 refers to _______.
A. guides B. books C. times D. purposes
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct word
or phrase that best fits each of the numbered blanks from 10 to 14.
