How to Use a Modern Public Library Has it been a while since your last visit to a public library？If so,you may be surprised to learn that libraries have changed for the better.It's been years since they were dusty little rooms with books.They have transformed themselves into places where you can develop your love of knowledge,meet interesting people,or find out how to start a business.
Check out a book.While libraries still loan out books,you'll find it easier to get a copy of whatever you're looking for,thanks to a cooperative network of area libraries.Via such networks,libraries share their books with each other through the use of delivery vehicles.Once the book you've requested is delivered to the nearest branch,they will inform you by e-mail,so you can pick it up.
Check out other items.The library is now a multimedia zone,loaded with information in many formats（载体形式）.You can borrow movies on DVDs,music on CDs,and popular magazines.Some libraries even loan out toys and games.If a popular magazine you want isn't offered and the library keeps a list of such requests,they may bring it in when enough interest is shown.
Join targeted reading groups.Libraries will often hold reading-group sessions aimed at various age groups.Perhaps you'd like to learn a language or improve your English.The library may sponsor a language group you could join.If you have difficulties reading,ask about special reading opportunities.Your library might be able to accommodate you.And you might find it relaxing to bring your small kid to a half-hour Story Time while you sit quietly in a corner with a good book.
Start a business using the help of your local library.If you want to have a business of your own,your local library can become a launch space for it.In library books and computers,you can find information on starting a business.Many libraries will help you with locally supplied information about business management shared through chambers of commerce（商会）and government agencies,and they will offer printing,faxing and database services you need.
11. Public libraries connected by a cooperative network benefit readers by ______ .
A. sharing their books on the Internet
B. giving access to online reading at a library branch
C. sending a needed book to a library branch nearby
D. making the checkout procedures diverse
12. According to Paragraph 3，what items may be checked out from a public library？ ______
A. A magazine and an e-book. B. A game and an oil painting.
C. A music CD and a kid's toy. D. A DVD and a video player.
13. What is the purpose of the passage？ ______
A. To point out the importance of public libraries.
B. To encourage people to work in public libraries.
C. To call for the modernization of public library systems.
D. To introduce the improved services of public libraries.

If you have spent any time reading blogs or papers on teaching strategies in the past few years,you have probably noticed a strong backlash against rote memory（机械记忆），in favor of constructivist（建构主义的）activities and "project-based learning".
The actual memorizing of facts,many agree,is an outdated educational practice,since anyone could search information on the Internet nowadays.They think that schools should focus constructivist activities on getting skills and knowledge.
However,learning by rote memory is more important than you think.There are many cases in which having knowledge immediately at the tip of your tongue can have great social and professional value.For example,last night at a networking event,when I casually asked a Nigerian businessman how much of his business was conducted in English against in his native Yoruba,he immediately became more engaged in our conversation.It was a simple fact that speaking Yoruba in Nigeria seemed to increase my social trust,and therefore our relationship.
The same goes for professional settings.If I am a medicine salesman talking to a doctor about a specific digestion drug,and he asks if it has any effect on the process of peristalsis（肠蠕动），it will look quite unprofessional if I have to pull out my medical dictionary to look up the word.Those facts need to be remembered in my brain so I can access them immediately!
Most situations need more personalized learning.Of course,most constructivist educators will argue that real-life simulations,on-the-job training,and project-based learning are more effective at learning new concepts than rote memory.The problem is that no single cost-effective constructivist activity will guarantee that you will be exposed to all the concepts you need or that you will fully remember the facts that you are exposed to.If you actually want to acquire a full range of knowledge about a given topic,the most guaranteed and efficient way to do so is to study by rote memory and practice time and again.
14. Which can best replace the underlined word "backlash" in paragraph 1？ ______
A. determination B. opposition C. response D. inspiration
15. What is well accepted by many people？ ______
A. Insight learning B. Rote memory
C. Constructivism D. Emotional education
16. Why does the author mention communication with a Nigerian businessman？ ______
A. To stress the importance of speaking Yoruba
B. To show how to improve communication skills
C. To show the power of social and professional value
D. To support his view about learning by rote memory
17. What can be the best title for the text？ ______
A. Rote Memory Is More Important than You Think
B. School Activities Are the Main Way to Gain Knowledge
C. Project-Based Learning Is a More Effective Learning Way
D. Constructivist Activities Are Equal to Project-Based Learning

A new device works like a solar panel,except that it doesn't harvest energy from the sun.It absorbs energy from the cold night sky.
A prototype（原型）of the device produced enough electricity at night to power a small light bulb.A bigger version might one day light rooms or charge phones.It also could power electronics in remote or low-resource areas that lack electricity.
The device makes use of the temperature difference between Earth and outer space.It then uses that difference to create electricity.As long as one side of it is cooler than the other,the generator can produce electricity.The cooler side faces the sky and is attached to an aluminum plate.That plate is sealed beneath a transparent（透明的）cover and surrounded with insulation（隔热材料）to keep out heat.The bottom of the generator is attached to an exposed aluminum plate.That plate is warmed by the local air.At night,the top plate can get a couple of degrees Celsius cooler than the bottom of the generator.
Researchers tested a 20-centimeter prototype one clear December night in Stanford,California.The generator produced up to about 25 milliwatts of power per square meter of device.That was enough power to light a small light-emitting diode,or LED bulb.Further improvements might increase its production to at least 500 milliwatts per square meter.To do that,the system might need more insulation around the cool top plate.
The device also could help power remote weather stations or other environmental devices,says Aaswath Raman.He is a materials scientist who worked on the device at the University of California,Los Angeles.This may be useful in polar regions that don't see sunlight for months at a time,Raman says."If you have some low-power load and you need to power it through three months of darkness,this might be a way."
18. What can we know about the new device？ ______
A. It gains energy from the sun.
B. It's been widely used in life.
C. It is cooler than a solar panel.
D. It'll be popular in special areas.
19. What does the author mainly talk about in Paragraph 3？ ______
A. Application fields of the device.
B. The developing process of the device.
C. The working principle of the device.
D. Significant effects of the device.
20. How can the device produce more electricity？ ______
A. By putting more insulation around the top plate.
B. By using it in extremely cold and clear nights.
C. By making its bottom cooler than the top plate.
D. By powering remote environmental devices.
21. What could be a suitable title for the text？ ______
A. A Device Using the Cold Night Sky to Produce Electricity
B. A Device Bringing New Hope for Those in the Cold Night
C. The Difference Between a Solar Panel and a New Device
D. The Temperature Difference Between Earth and Outer Space
When you start a new job,you'll probably be introduced to a lot of new people on your first day.And it's important to make a good impression.The following are some practical tips to help you.
Show up early
This might seem easy,but many people don't do it. (1) .To make sure you can arrive early,give yourself extra time to get ready in the morning and to travel to your destination.
(2)
It can be difficult to find the right balance between having an influence on your new role,and disturbing the balance of the delicate office ecosystem.You don't want to walk in and get into trouble,but you also don't want to fade into the background,either.
Take plenty of notes
It's a great idea to bring a small notebook and pen with you on your first day for taking down notes.Don't be shy about recording information that you know will be useful to you later,like names and passwords.You're likely to face data-overload on your first day. (3) .
Watch your body language
You've probably read that body language is important for job interviews,but it can also be a valuable tool in creating a lasting impression when you start a new job.On your first day,be careful of conveying powerful body language. (4) .And do your best to avoid negative body language,such as yawning,frowning,or standing with your hands in your pockets.
Step away from social media
While on your first day at the office you must have all sorts of feelings-nerves,anxiety,joy,even boredom-resist the desire to share it on social media.When it comes to updating your friends and followers about the status of your newfound employment,always be cautious and assume your bosses are watching. (5) .
A.Almost certainly,they will in fact
B.Be positive and show interest
C.Be enthusiastic,but not overbearing（自大的）
D.Smile often and look people in the eye
E.Body language is what we should avoid
F.Arriving 5 to 10 minutes early gives you time to settle in
G.So taking notes is a great way to keep on top of things

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数150左右。
There was once a wonderful old man who loved everything：animals,spiders,insects and all sorts of living things.
One day while walking through the woods,the old man found a cocoon（茧）.He decided to take the cocoon home to watch its beautiful transformation from a little cocoon to a beautiful butterfly.
A few days later,the cocoon started to move.It moved frantically!He sat and watched it struggle and struggle for several hours.But it seemed not to make any progress.Then the old man felt sorry for the little butterfly inside,and rushed to its aid.With a pair of scissors and gently,he cut a little opening in the cocoon so the butterfly could come out.And then the butterfly came out of its cocoon.It had a swollen body and small,fragile wings,but it never was able to fly.
He was quite puzzled.Had he accidentally killed the little butterfly？No,it was still moving a little bit.Maybe it was sick.Then he decided that the best thing he could do for the butterfly was to place it gently back into its cocoon.He did so,and placed a drop of honey on it to seal the cocoon,leaving the butterfly to nestle （筑巢） in its natural state.
The next day he noticed that the cocoon was moving again.It struggled and struggled.Finally the butterfly broke free from its cocoon and stretched its wings out.Its beautiful wings were filled with wonderful colors!It took off!It was flying!
The wonderful butterfly flew and flew till it was almost out of the old man's sight.What a joy,he exclaimed!But then he started to think：what did I do wrong by trying to help that beautiful little butterfly out at first？

Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
54.【答案】Paragraph 1：
Finally the answer came out.What the man in his kindness and haste did not understand was that the restricting cocoon and the struggle required for the butterfly to get through the tiny opening were Nature's way of forcing fluid from the body of the butterfly into its wings so that it would be ready for flight once it achieved its freedom from the cocoon.（蝴蝶要穿过这个微小的口才能飞翔）
Paragraph 2：
Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our life.If we were allowed to go through our life without any obstacles and difficulties,it would cripple us.We would not be as strong as what we could have been.【高分句型一】And we could never fly.In fact,it is necessary to live with some difficulties.And it is these obstacles and difficulties that make us strong and get prepared for the greater challenges in our life.【高分句型二】（我们人类也需要奋斗，克服困难才能成功）
