68、a state that it will save local cities and towns money because libraries are expensive to maintain. They also believe it will encourage more people to read because they wont have to travel to a library to get a book; they can simply click on what they want to read and read it from wherever they are.
69、However, it would be a serious mistake to replace libraries with tablets. First, digital books and resources are associated with less learning and more problems than print resources.

Some of these benefits include acting as a quiet study space, giving people a way to converse with their neighbors, holding classes on a variety of topics, providing jobs, answering patron questions, and keeping the community connected.

People see libraries as a way to connect with others and get their questions answered, benefits tablets cant offer nearly as well or as easily.While replacing libraries with tablets may seem like a
73、 simple solution, it would encourage people to spend even more time looking at digital screens, despite the various issues surrounding them. It would also end access to many of the benefits of libraries that people have come to rely on. In many areas, libraries are such an important part of the comm

77、议论文。文章主要议论了平板电脑无法代替图书馆这一论点。【31题详解】词义猜测题。根据文章第一段“As online learning becomes more common and more and more resources are converted to digital form, some people have suggested that public libraries should be shut down and, in their place, everyone should be given an iPad with an e-reader subscription.（
78、随着在线学习变得越来越普遍，越来越多的资源被convert数字形式，一些人建议关闭公共图书馆，取而代之，每个人应该被给予一个iPad，订阅电子书。）”，由下文知给予多每个人一个iPad订阅电子书可推出，资源被转变成（changed）了数字形式。故选A项。【32题详解】推理判断题。根据文章第三段“ A study done on tablet vs book reading found people read 20-30% slower on tablets, retain 20% less information, and understand 10% less of what they re
