Since a particular bookstore happens to resemble a supermarket anyway, the inescapable, though perhaps unintended, message is that books are consumable items, meant to be devoured and forgotten, like potatoes or pizza. The implied inclusion of books among the world’s perishable goods is hardly made more agreeable by the reflection that increasing numbers of books these days do seem to be written with just such consumption in mind, and that most bookstores have become little more than news stands for hard cover publications of this sort, which are merchandised for a few weeks—sometimes only as long as they remain on the best-seller lists—and are then retired to discount store (those jumbled graveyards of books, so saddening to  the hearts of authors)shortly before dropping out of print altogether. Books that are planned for rapid oblivion probably make some kind of economic sense to publishing houses, but as contribution to literature they amount to a contradiction in terms.

参考答案和解析
正确答案：
由于某家书店恰好像一个超市,因此虽然也许是无意的,却不可避免地给了我们这样一个信息:书是消费品,如同土豆或意大利馅饼一样,是供人吞食后忘掉的。无形中把书归入了世上易损商品之列,一点不会因为想到目前越来越多的书确实是为了这样的消费目的而写的就令人感到舒心,同样也不会因为想到大多数的书店已变得虚有其名,成了不过是出售这类精装书的报亭而令人感到舒心。这类精装书卖不到几个星期,有时只要一旦跌出畅销书,就会被抛到打折书店里去(也就是令作家深为痛心的乱七八糟的书坟堆),紧跟着就完全绝了版。准备让人很快忘记的书可能时出版公司有某些经济价值,而要说对文学有贡献,则简直是自相矛盾。

    【听力原文】
    　　Movies often portray criminals as masterminds with complex plans and clever senses of humor. In reality, however, the opposite seems to be closer to the truth—many criminals are inconceivably stupid. Here are three stories of criminals who weren’t as smart as the ones in the movies.
    　　In Belgium, a man who was suspected of robbing a jewelry store was tracked down and captured by the police. At the time he was arrested, he insisted that he could not possibly have been the robber, because he had been somewhere else the entire time. The police asked where he had been, and the man admitted that he had been in a completely different neighborhood that night, breaking into a school. Upon hearing this, the police officer grinned, checked police records, and found out that the school had indeed been broken into, and a great deal of expensive damage had been caused. The officer went back and wrote up a new arrest report for the criminal for the school break-in.
    　　The second one took place in England. A British man with an intense hatred of a particular American couple created a website announcing that he would pay a reward to have the couple murdered. The website was quite detailed, with photos of the American couple and specific information about where to find them. It also included the British man’s contact information and instructions on how to collect the reward. The officers followed the instructions exactly, which made it easy for them to “collect” the man for attempted murder.
    　　Now we come to the last one. At a “crime prevention” fair in the United States, the police were showing some children how they used the computer in their car to access the database at police headquarters. A man came up and listened to their conversation. As the police explained more about the computer system, the man inched closer and closer. Finally, his curiosity was too much, and he asked the police to demonstrate how the computer worked. The officer took his driver’s license and entered in the ID number. A few moments later, the screen lit up, showing that the man was wanted for armed robbery. The officer put handcuffs on him, asked him to sit in the back seat of the car, and took him for a drive to the headquarters.
    Questions 50 to 52 are based on the passage you have just heard.
    50. What did the criminal in Belgium do?
    51. Who did the English man want to murder?
    52. In what occasion was the third man arrested?
