【正确答案】
Will E-books Replace Traditional Books?

Recent years have witnessed a new advancement in the development of information technology—the rapid emerging of E-books. E-books can not only display whatever we can read in traditional paper books but also provide audio and video contents, which presents a completely new concept of reading. As E-book is now capturing more and more people's attention, its increasing popularity has posed a great challenge to the publication of traditional books.
Many people claim that it will not take long for E-books to replace traditional books because E-books have quite a few merits over traditional ones. To start with. E-books are more accessible to readers. They can simply log onto the Internet and read E-books online. They can also read them on the Screens of portable digital devices like MP3 and MP4, or even mobile phones. Besides, E-books can greatly save storage space. A fingerlike flash disk can hold the contents of thousands of E-books, which makes it possible for readers to own portable private libraries.
Personally, I think that E-books will not bring an end to the publication of traditional books. For one thing, the use of E-books might be limited by the availability of electronic devices. For another, people may have different preference for reading media. There can be no substitute for the feeling of reading while holding a paper book in hand and turning over the pages with fingertips. On the contrary, as is often the case, the widespread of an E-hook may lead to and promote its publication in paper book. So I believe it will be double-win for both.
【答案解析】[解析] 本文属于现象论说文。首先要描述所论述的现象,并且引出下文。然后对此进行分析,最后说出自己的观点。第一段应写电子书的出现并越来越受欢迎,对传统书的出版形成挑战,还要提一下电子书的基本特点。第二段写认为可替代传统书的看法,具体列出与传统书相比的优点:方便获得、占用较少空间等。第三段写自己的看法,即电子图书不会代替传统图书:电子书受设备的限制,人们的喜好不同等,相反会相互促进。最后得出结论:两者可以是双赢。
