2023-2024学年高二上学期英语第一次检测最新试题汇编（人教版2019） 专题01阅读理解（原卷版） 一、阅读理解 （2023秋·河南信阳·高二信阳高中校考开学考试）My sister recently started a blog, and I wanted to gift her a book on writing — “Elements of Style”. There are many websites that sell books online in India, and I will list down the information about this book. My friend told me that Amazon.com sells this book for $7.00,which is Rs.350(350 卢比).Let’s see if I will get something close to that price or not. 1. Rediff Books. The first site I discovered was Rediff Books. I was able to find this book easily on this site, and there were three different choices of these. The top result was the hardcover(精装本),which was priced at Rs.2,831. They have the paperback edition(平装本) as well, which was priced at very reasonable Rs.191; only one problem— they would take 45 business days to ship! 2. NBC India. Next, I went to the site of NBC India, and found the book there too. They had a list price on the paperback edition of Rs.366, and the picture of the book was exactly like the one I have. The price and picture pleased me quite a bit, but the results page did not show me the shipping days. 3. Flip Kart. I have heard of Flip Kart before, but never actually used it. They had this book listed at Rs.175, and they said it would be shipped in 4-6 business days. This was a paperback edition that was printed in 2006, and it looked quite promising. 4.Amazon.com. Amazon.com can ship books to India. They charge another $3.00 for shipping one. They said that it can take anywhere from18 to 31 business days. After going through the information, I felt that Flip Kart is the best one, and I went ahead and ordered the book. I hope it reaches within the stated time, and is in good condition. 1．If the author buys this book in A mazon.com, how much will she have to pay?
