According to the author, which of the following is TRUE about the future of printed books?
AThey will be bundled with ebooks.
BThey will no longer be available in the market.
CThey will be sold in small quantity and better quality.
DThey will be redesigned to cater to the masses.
答案及解析:本题考查细节。由题干中的the future of printed books和选项定位到最后一段第二句可知,面向大众群体的斯泰格拉尔森式阅读将被淘汰,取而代之的是针对爱书者而设的装帧精美、数量不多的印刷本和书店。C选项中的small quantity和better quality分别对应原文的smaller print,lavishly designed,综上,C选项正确。第五段第一句提到“理想的情况是出版商把电子书和印刷本捆绑出售”,而非未来的趋势,A选项“纸质书籍会和电子书捆绑出售”为过度推断,故排除。第五段最后一句指出“还会有一小部分人购买纸质书籍”,B选项,“纸质书籍会从市场上消失”,故排除B。D选项“纸质书籍会迎合大众做出调整”原文并未提及,故排除。故正确选项为C。
