As a reader, I, as many other book lovers do,often leave with a long sigh after visiting a bookstore. The prices printed onbook jackets keep reminding me how thin my wallet is.
The price of books is now so high that Ihesitate before buying a book I love. Many people feel the same way. But Iremember that only a few years ago, when I was a college student, I boughtseveral books almost every month, using what was left out of the livingexpenses sent by my parents, and that was not more than 200 yuan.
But now that I am working and the money Iearn is only used to support my own expenses, I find I can’t afford many goodbooks.
There is a saying, “Book lovers have nomoney, but rich people have no feelings for books”. This is exactly the case.Sometimes I wonder about who the books are published for, especially thosebooks with beautiful hard covers.
It is said that usually, the listed price ismore than twice as much as the book’s cost and we can see high profits fromselling books. But now there is a contradiction. On one hand, readers who wantto buy books aren’t able to, while on the other hand, publishers and sellerssuffer from the large stockpiles of unsaleable books being stored in theirwarehouses. This situation is also a disadvantage to intellectual propertyright protection because many books of bestsellers are sold at a lower price atsome bookstands.
The key to resolve the problem is to cut theprice to an acceptable level to both sellers and consumers.
I wish sincerely that in the near futurecommon readers like me can buy the books we want without worrying about thehigh prices too much.

试题答案
答案：1A2A3D4C5D
解析：1、该题考查段落主旨，文章第一段提供了议论文的论据，书价过高。 2、ButI remember that only a few years ago, when I was a college student, I boughtseveral books almost every month…根据这句可知，本题选A。 3、该题考查句意猜测，由作者对书价上涨的观点可推知，爱书人无钱买喜爱之书，而有钱人却未必对书感兴趣。 4、这段是说书的价钱太高对出版者和卖书者没有什么好处，故选C。 5、该题考查文章主旨，作者的写作目的在于：呼吁有关部门降低书价，以便使更多的爱书人能畅游于书的海洋。
