B. Choose the best words and complete the passage（选择最恰当的单词完成短文）（12分）
Smart phones and e-readers have become more common in recent years. Some people worry that the days of
paper books will be gone. But surveys have shown that traditional books are still (65) among readers.
Research company Nielsen found that in the UK, sales of e-books are (66) while sales of paper books
are rising. More surprisingly, it’s young people who are buying the most physical books. Another survey of
university students from the United States, Slovakia (斯洛伐克), Japan and Germany also showed that 92 percent
of them (67) paper books
The most popular reason given was: “I like to hold the products.” It’s true that paper books bring a very
different reading (68) . Slovakian students said that they liked the smell of paper books. Other students
said that they get a sense of accomplishment (成就) when they finish reading a paper book and they enjoy seeing it
on the bookshelf.
Paper books can also be very (69) objects (物品) to lovers of reading. Many people like to signtheir names on the inside cover. It’s as if readers of paper books make friends with them.
This “friendship” people develop with books isn’t just sentimental (情感上的). Research has shown that
readers remember more information reading from paper books than e-books. People also more easily. (70)
headaches or sore eyes while reading e-books.

The “Double Eleven” Shopping Festival is one of the largest shopping festivals in China. Last year, the
festival went on for eleven days. Alibaba alone saw 498.2 billion yuan in trade.
Many people believe such large shopping festivals can help them (71)s_______ lots of money. After all, many
stores do discount (打折) their goods. But if you take a second look at the sales prices, you’ll find that many of
them end in “9” or “.99”. In our everyday life, we (72)r_______ say, “Just give me 5.99 minutes.” It’s not
common to say, “Just give me 59 minutes,” either. We are more likely to say “Just give me 6 minutes” and “Just
give me 60 minutes.” Why do stores prefer the other way round?
The strategy (策略) is based on the (73)f_______ that we read from left to right. On a price tag, the number
on the far left impresses us the most. So, even though 5. 99 yuan is very (74)c______ to 6 dollars, it’s the “5” that
impresses us. A product that sells for 5.99 yuan just seems like a better deal than a similar one that sells for 6
yuan.
In a 2016 study, Hibbett, a professor of marketing asked a clothing company to (75)r_______ the price of one
of its dresses from $34 to $39. He and his colleagues all thought fewer people would buy the dress. The result,
however, (76)s________ them. Demand (需求) increased by a third. Increasing the price from $34 to $44 made
no difference at all.
So be (77)c_______ with prices that end in “9” or “.99”. They may make you spend more money!
