While it's the books that make a library, being in lovely surroundings may provide inspiration and help you to work a little bit harder. Here are some of the coolest libraries of the world.
The Library of Birmingham - Birmingham, U. K.
The new Library of Birmingham is said to be not only Britain's biggest public library, but also the largest in Europe. Designed by Dutch architects, this replacement for the Birmingham Central Library was opened in 2013 and has a wealth of resources within its walls, including adult and kids' libraries, music collections, a Shakespeare Memorial Room, and even a gym. Gardens crown the roof, while the changing seasons bring variations in the shadows and reflections inside.
The National Library of France Paris, France
The National Library of France, which now contains an astonishing collection of 30 million, dates back to the14th century and this royal library was set up at the Louvre Palace by King Charles V. The library was moved to Rue de Richelieu in 1868, with major design work carried out by French architects Henri Labrouste and, following his death Jean Louis Pascal. Here, the reading rooms are elegance themselves. There are more than just books to be found.
The State Library of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia
The public State Library of New South Wales holds the honor of being the oldest institution of its kind in Australia. It was originally set up as the Australian Subscription Library in 1826，but it wasn't until 1942 that its permanent home was ready. Designed by Sydney architect Walter Liberty Vernon and completed in 1910, the magnificent sand-stone Mitchell Wing is one of the architectural highlights.
Seattle Central Library---Seattle, Washington, USA
Seattle Central Library's distinctive design ensures it stands out. Architect Rem Koolhaas is one of the names attached to its design. Architects sought to envelop the 11-storybuilding with “a layer of transparency”, using a skin of glass and metal. The public library houses about 1.45million books and other things, as well as more than 400 computers available for public use. The building, which opened in 2004, was included on the American Institute of Architects' list of Americans' 150 favorite structures in 2007.

Medha Gupta sometimes felt worried about making the 20-minute walk from the corner where the school bus dropped her off to her home in Herndon -especially during the colder months in winter.
Her mother, Divya Gupta had a suggestion: write an app. She was half-kidding,but Medha didn't take the challenge lightly. So she set out to work.
The result was Safe Travel, an app designed by Medha to help walkers feel more secure when travelling alone. Using the iPhone, a person can program it to send a warning to someone he or she trusts if he or she fails to arrive at a destination within a certain time.
It was the first iOS app that Medha had created. While she didn't think much would come from the project, her effort caught the eye of judges for the annual Congressional App. Challenge, who selected her as the winner for Virginia's 10th District.
The App Challenge is designed to encourage students to consider careers in science, technology, engineering, and math by experimenting with coding and computer science. Winning students are invited lo attend a reception on Capitol Hill in April and also received $250 in Amazon Web Service credits.
Medha said it took her about 40 hours to design, program and test the app. As for her next app Medha's not certain. She temporarily has her app-development ambitions on hold because she's busy teaching herself artificial intelligence to help deal with improper words on Facebook. Yes,she knows that there are teams of engineers probably doing the same thing. But she figures it can't hurt her own part, too.
“If we see something wrong with the world, we should do something about it,” she said. “After all, the only one stopping us from doing something is ourselves. ”
4. Why did Medha Gupta feel worried
A. It took a long time to walk home. B. It was difficult to write an app.
C. It was colder than ever in winter. D. It was unsafe to walk home alone.
5. What is Medha's attitude to her mother's challenge
A. Serious. B. Casual. C. Uncertain. D. Indifferent.
6. What does the underlined phrase “on hold” in Paragraph 6 mean
A. Developed. B. Delayed. C. Achieved. D. Satisfied.
7. What's the main idea of the text
A. Medha signed up for the App Challenge. B. Medha designed Safe Travel successfully.
C. An app Safe Travel guides walkers home. D. The App Challenge directs students to choose careers.
C
Tourism is often about seeking deeper emotional and personal connections with the world around us. Not all travel experiences, however, need to take place in the real world. With the evolution of virtual reality(VR) technology, tourism will increasingly become a combination of physical and virtual worlds. VR may even remove the need to travel entirely.
But can a VR experience really equal a real world one Many experts believe it can. Studies have shown that our brains have an inbuilt VR-like mechanism that enables us to live imagined experiences. Much of our waking life is spent thinking about either the past or the future. This is known as" mind wandering". During these events we' re not paying attention to the current world around us. Instead, we' re recalling memories, or creating and processing imagined futures.
When engaged in mind wandering, our brains process these mental images using the same pathways used to receive inputs from the real world. So, the imagined past or future can create emotions and feelings similar to how we react to everyday life. VR can create these same feelings.
While critics might argue that a virtual experience will never match reality, there are several ways VR tourism could make a positive contribution. Firstly it could help protect sensitive locations from over-tourism. In recent years famous sites such as Maya Bay in Thailand, and Cambodia's Angkor Wat Temples have had to limit the number of visitors because of their negative impact. These places are now producing their own VR experiences that will allow tourists to pass through virtual models of the sites.
Virtual reality may also allow people back in time, to experience historical events, visit ancient cities, and even to walk among dinosaurs.
Finally, in a world where many people suffer from stress and depression due to overwork, virtual tourism may provide a cheap and convenient way for people to take brief holidays to otherwise unreachable destinations and recharge their batteries, without ever leaving their homes.
It sounds like science fiction but it's already happening. As virtual technology improves and as people continue to demand new and interesting experiences, expect more virtual tourism, both in combination with the real world and instead of it.
8. What is driving the development of virtual tourism
A. Companies seeking to make more money.
B. Improvements in virtual reality technology.
C. People's demand for more shared experiences.
D. People's deeper understanding of the physical world.
9 Which of the following best describes "mind wandering"
A. The brain processes which help people think VR is real.
B. The way the brain processes inputs from the real world.
C. Brain activities focusing on past or future events.
D. Experiences coming from a person's imagination.
10. What does the underlined word "it" in the last paragraph refer to
A. Science fiction.
B. Virtual technology.
C. Virtual tourism.
D. The real world.
11. What is the purpose of the passage
A. To describe the advantages of VR tourism.
B. To give suggestions for reducing over-tourism.
C. To encourage people to develop VR technology.
D. To argue VR tourism will replace the real world travel.
D
While the arts can' t stop the COVID-19 virus or the social unrest we see in the world today, they can give us insight into the choices we make when moving through crises and chaos. The arts invite everyone to think in new ways.
We often experience works of art as something that's pleasing to our senses without a full understanding of the creative effort. Great art often shows us contradictions and crises, and we can learn a great deal from their resolutions(解决）). Through our understanding of art, we can gain a deeper understanding of how we might overcome our own challenges. In understanding extremes of contrast, we can see the beauty in art with themes that are not simply pleasing for their magnificent features or qualities.
Beethoven offers a wonderful example of moving artfully through crises and chaos. He composed his Symphony No. 9 as his hearing loss became more and more pronounced. The opening of the symphony seems to come out of nowhere, from near silence in the opening to a full expression of what many consider to be the joy of freedom and universal brotherhood with Schiller’s Ode to joy（欢乐颂). Beethoven appears to have created a work of art that not only freed him from his personal struggles, but one that also speaks to the joy of living together in peace and harmony.
Have a dialogue between the two opposing parts and you will find that they always start out fighting each other until we come to an appreciation of difference—a oneness of the two opposing forces. The arts offer many lessons that can help us gain the knowledge we need to move more confidently in today’ s competitive and uncertain environment. An openness to arts-based solutions will give you more control over your future.
12. What value does art have beyond pleasing people's senses
A. It brings people inner peace.
B. It contributes to problem-solving.
C. It reduces the possibility of crises.
D. It deepens understanding of music.
13. What can we learn about Beethoven's Symphony No. 9
A. It celebrates freedom and unity.
B. It aims to show crises and chaos.
C. It opens with Schiller's Ode to Joy.
D. It is unfinished due to his hearing loss.
14. What is the author's suggestion on dealing with conflicting forces
A. Leaving things as they are.
B. Making a choice between them.
C. Separating them from each other.
D. Engaging them in a conversation.
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. How COVID-19 changes art
B. Essentials of Symphony No. 9
C. Moving artfully through crises
D. Joy in the eyes of Beethoven

The Library of Birmingham - Birmingham, U. K.
The new Library of Birmingham is said to be not only Britain's biggest public library, but also the largest in Europe. Designed by Dutch architects, this replacement for the Birmingham Central Library was opened in 2013 and has a wealth of resources within its walls, including adult and kids' libraries, music collections, a Shakespeare Memorial Room, and even a gym. Gardens crown the roof, while the changing seasons bring variations in the shadows and reflections inside.
The National Library of France Paris, France
The National Library of France, which now contains an astonishing collection of 30 million, dates back to the14th century and this royal library was set up at the Louvre Palace by King Charles V. The library was moved to Rue de Richelieu in 1868, with major design work carried out by French architects Henri Labrouste and, following his death Jean Louis Pascal. Here, the reading rooms are elegance themselves. There are more than just books to be found.
The State Library of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia
The public State Library of New South Wales holds the honor of being the oldest institution of its kind in Australia. It was originally set up as the Australian Subscription Library in 1826，but it wasn't until 1942 that its permanent home was ready. Designed by Sydney architect Walter Liberty Vernon and completed in 1910, the magnificent sand-stone Mitchell Wing is one of the architectural highlights.
Seattle Central Library---Seattle, Washington, USA
Seattle Central Library's distinctive design ensures it stands out. Architect Rem Koolhaas is one of the names attached to its design. Architects sought to envelop the 11-storybuilding with “a layer of transparency”, using a skin of glass and metal. The public library houses about 1.45million books and other things, as well as more than 400 computers available for public use. The building, which opened in 2004, was included on the American Institute of Architects' list of Americans' 150 favorite structures in 2007.

Medha Gupta sometimes felt worried about making the 20-minute walk from the corner where the school bus dropped her off to her home in Herndon -especially during the colder months in winter.
Her mother, Divya Gupta had a suggestion: write an app. She was half-kidding,but Medha didn't take the challenge lightly. So she set out to work.
The result was Safe Travel, an app designed by Medha to help walkers feel more secure when travelling alone. Using the iPhone, a person can program it to send a warning to someone he or she trusts if he or she fails to arrive at a destination within a certain time.
It was the first iOS app that Medha had created. While she didn't think much would come from the project, her effort caught the eye of judges for the annual Congressional App. Challenge, who selected her as the winner for Virginia's 10th District.
The App Challenge is designed to encourage students to consider careers in science, technology, engineering, and math by experimenting with coding and computer science. Winning students are invited lo attend a reception on Capitol Hill in April and also received $250 in Amazon Web Service credits.
Medha said it took her about 40 hours to design, program and test the app. As for her next app Medha's not certain. She temporarily has her app-development ambitions on hold because she's busy teaching herself artificial intelligence to help deal with improper words on Facebook. Yes,she knows that there are teams of engineers probably doing the same thing. But she figures it can't hurt her own part, too.
“If we see something wrong with the world, we should do something about it,” she said. “After all, the only one stopping us from doing something is ourselves. ”
4. Why did Medha Gupta feel worried
A. It took a long time to walk home. B. It was difficult to write an app.
C. It was colder than ever in winter. D. It was unsafe to walk home alone.
5. What is Medha's attitude to her mother's challenge
A. Serious. B. Casual. C. Uncertain. D. Indifferent.
6. What does the underlined phrase “on hold” in Paragraph 6 mean
A. Developed. B. Delayed. C. Achieved. D. Satisfied.
7. What's the main idea of the text
A. Medha signed up for the App Challenge. B. Medha designed Safe Travel successfully.
C. An app Safe Travel guides walkers home. D. The App Challenge directs students to choose careers.
【答案】4. D 5. A 6. B 7. B

Tourism is often about seeking deeper emotional and personal connections with the world around us. Not all travel experiences, however, need to take place in the real world. With the evolution of virtual reality(VR) technology, tourism will increasingly become a combination of physical and virtual worlds. VR may even remove the need to travel entirely.
But can a VR experience really equal a real world one Many experts believe it can. Studies have shown that our brains have an inbuilt VR-like mechanism that enables us to live imagined experiences. Much of our waking life is spent thinking about either the past or the future. This is known as" mind wandering". During these events we' re not paying attention to the current world around us. Instead, we' re recalling memories, or creating and processing imagined futures.
When engaged in mind wandering, our brains process these mental images using the same pathways used to receive inputs from the real world. So, the imagined past or future can create emotions and feelings similar to how we react to everyday life. VR can create these same feelings.
While critics might argue that a virtual experience will never match reality, there are several ways VR tourism could make a positive contribution. Firstly it could help protect sensitive locations from over-tourism. In recent years famous sites such as Maya Bay in Thailand, and Cambodia's Angkor Wat Temples have had to limit the number of visitors because of their negative impact. These places are now producing their own VR experiences that will allow tourists to pass through virtual models of the sites.
Virtual reality may also allow people back in time, to experience historical events, visit ancient cities, and even to walk among dinosaurs.
Finally, in a world where many people suffer from stress and depression due to overwork, virtual tourism may provide a cheap and convenient way for people to take brief holidays to otherwise unreachable destinations and recharge their batteries, without ever leaving their homes.
It sounds like science fiction but it's already happening. As virtual technology improves and as people continue to demand new and interesting experiences, expect more virtual tourism, both in combination with the real world and instead of it.
8. What is driving the development of virtual tourism
A. Companies seeking to make more money.
B. Improvements in virtual reality technology.
C. People's demand for more shared experiences.
D. People's deeper understanding of the physical world.
9. Which of the following best describes "mind wandering"
A. The brain processes which help people think VR is real.
B. The way the brain processes inputs from the real world.
C. Brain activities focusing on past or future events.
D. Experiences coming from a person's imagination.
10. What does the underlined word "it" in the last paragraph refer to
A. Science fiction.
B. Virtual technology.
C. Virtual tourism.
D. The real world.
11 What is the purpose of the passage
A. To describe the advantages of VR tourism.
B. To give suggestions for reducing over-tourism.
C. To encourage people to develop VR technology.
D. To argue VR tourism will replace the real world travel.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。旅游能让人们与周围的世界建立深层的情感联系。如今人们可以通过VR技术体现旅游。介绍了这项技术的原理，以及这项技术的运用，不仅可以体验各地的景点还可以体验历史事件。这项技术使人们在忙碌之余足不出户就可以放松身心。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段第三句 With the evolution of virtual reality (VR) technology, tourism will increasingly become a combination of physical and virtual worlds. VR may even remove the need to travel entirely. 可知随着虚拟现实技术的发展，旅游业越来越成为现实世界与虚拟世界的结合体，虚拟现实甚至可以完全消除旅行的需要，因此虚拟现实技术的发展促进了虚拟旅游业的发展。故选B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段第四句 Much of our waking life is spent thinking about either the past or the future. This is known as "mind wandering". 可知，我们清醒时的大部分时间花在了思考过去或者未来上。故可以推出，“心灵漫游”是专注于过去或未来事件的大脑活动。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段最后一句 As virtual technology improves and as people continue to demand new and interesting experiences, expect more virtual tourism, both in combination with the real world and instead of it. 可知，随着虚拟技术的进步，以及人们对新奇有趣体验的需求，虚拟旅游将会越来越多，它不仅会与现实世界相结合，还会取代现实世界。both 与 and 后的内容并列，因此 it 指代的是 the real world，现实世界。故选D。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。文章主要介绍了虚拟旅游的功能和积极影响。根据文章第四段第一句 While critics might argue that a virtual experience will never match reality, there are several ways VR tourism could make a positive contribution. 可知，虚拟旅游可以做出积极的贡献。故A项正确。B项，“建议减少过度旅行”。文章未提及。故B项错误。C项，“鼓励人们发展虚拟现实技术”。太过宽泛，文章主要侧重讲虚拟旅游。故C项错误。D项，“证明虚拟旅游将会取代现实旅游”。这不是这篇文章的目的。故D项错误。故正确答案为A。
D
While the arts can' t stop the COVID-19 virus or the social unrest we see in the world today, they can give us insight into the choices we make when moving through crises and chaos. The arts invite everyone to think in new ways.
We often experience works of art as something that's pleasing to our senses without a full understanding of the creative effort. Great art often shows us contradictions and crises, and we can learn a great deal from their resolutions(解决）). Through our understanding of art, we can gain a deeper understanding of how we might overcome our own challenges. In understanding extremes of contrast, we can see the beauty in art with themes that are not simply pleasing for their magnificent features or qualities.
Beethoven offers a wonderful example of moving artfully through crises and chaos. He composed his Symphony No. 9 as his hearing loss became more and more pronounced. The opening of the symphony seems to come out of nowhere, from near silence in the opening to a full expression of what many consider to be the joy of freedom and universal brotherhood with Schiller’s Ode to joy（欢乐颂). Beethoven appears to have created a work of art that not only freed him from his personal struggles, but one that also speaks to the joy of living together in peace and harmony.
Have a dialogue between the two opposing parts and you will find that they always start out fighting each other until we come to an appreciation of difference—a oneness of the two opposing forces. The arts offer many lessons that can help us gain the knowledge we need to move more confidently in today’ s competitive and uncertain environment. An openness to arts-based solutions will give you more control over your future.
12. What value does art have beyond pleasing people's senses
A. It brings people inner peace.
B. It contributes to problem-solving.
C. It reduces the possibility of crises.
D. It deepens understanding of music.
13 What can we learn about Beethoven's Symphony No. 9
A. It celebrates freedom and unity.
B. It aims to show crises and chaos.
C. It opens with Schiller's Ode to Joy.
D. It is unfinished due to his hearing loss.
14. What is the author's suggestion on dealing with conflicting forces
A. Leaving things as they are.
B. Making a choice between them.
C. Separating them from each other.
D. Engaging them in a conversation.
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. How COVID-19 changes art
B. Essentials of Symphony No. 9
C. Moving artfully through crises
D. Joy in the eyes of Beethoven
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要介绍了在疫情响下的世界背景中，艺术为我们提供了应对危机和冲突的创造性思路。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段第二句“Great art often shows us contradictions and crises, and we can learn a great deal from their resolutions(解决）.(伟大的艺术作品向我们展示冲突与危机，我们能从它们的解决中获得启示。)”可知，理解艺术有助于现实中问题的解决。故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段第三句“The opening of the symphony seems to come out of nowhere, from near silence in the opening to a full expression of what many consider to be the joy of freedom and universal brotherhood with Schiller’s Ode to joy（欢乐颂).(喜乐的《欢乐颂》，这首交响曲的开头似乎毫无来由，从几乎寂静的开头，许多人认为是对自由的喜悦和全世界兄弟般的情谊的充分表达。)” 可知，贝多芬的第九交响曲歌颂的主题是自由与团结。故选A。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段第一句“Have a dialogue between the two opposing parts and you will find that they always start out fighting each other until we come to an appreciation of difference—a oneness of the two opposing forces.(如果你让对立的这两个部分进行对话，你就会发现它们总是从一开始就互相争斗，直到我们对它们之间的差异有了一个正确的认识——这两个对立的力量是一体的。)”可推断，作者对于处理冲突各方的建议是让各方进行对话、交流。故选D。
15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“While the arts can' t stop the COVID-19 virus or the social unrest we see in the world today, they can give us insight into the choices we make when moving through crises and chaos. The arts invite everyone to think in new ways.”（虽然艺术无法阻止COVID-19病毒或我们今天在世界上看到的社会动荡，但它们可以让我们了解我们在应对危机和混乱时所做的选择。艺术邀请每个人以新的方式思考。）结合全文内容可知，文章主要介绍的是理解艺术对于应对现实危机与冲突的启示。所以“Moving artfully through crises(艺术地通过危机)”作为文章标题最为合适。故选C。

【答案】that
【解析】
【详解】考查强调句。句意：Bach死于1750年，但是直到19世纪早期他的音乐天赋才被完全认可。分析句子可知，not until the early 19th century作空格后面整个句子的时间状语，去掉“It was”和空格处单词，句子成立，说明该句是个强调句型，可还原为his musical gift was not fully recognized until the early 19th century。强调句句式为“It is/was+被强调部分+that/who+句子其他部分”，被强调部分不是人，故空格处填that。故填that。

【答案】whose
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意：1963年，联合国成立了世界粮食计划署，其目的之一是缓解世界范围内的饥饿。分析句子可知，设空处引导非限制性定语从句，关系词指代先行词the World Food Programme在从句中充当purposes的定语，应用关系代词whose，故填whose。
63. I have to go to work by taxi because my car _________ (repair) at the garage. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】is being repaired
【解析】
【详解】考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意：我得乘出租车去上班，因为我的车正在修车厂修理。空格处作because引导的原因状语从句中的谓语，由I have to go to work by taxi可知，我的车应该是正在被修，因此空格处用现在进行时的被动语态，即is/are being done，主语my car为单数，因此空格处为is being repaired。故填is being repaired。
