Take a tour of university libraries around the world
As the American writer Shelby Foote once said: “A university is just a group of buildings gathered around a library.” Let’s take a look at some famous university libraries around the world.
Bizzell Memorial Library
Built in 1929, Bizzell Memorial Library, a National Historic Land mark that sits at the heart of The University of Oklahoma, features unique Cherokee Gothic architecture influenced by the Native American style.
Bizzell Memorial Library contains more than 6 million volumes. As the largest library in the state of Oklahoma, it also is home to one of the most important History of Science collections in the nation. The collection contains 12 original works by Galileo, four of which contain his own handwriting.
Magdalen College Old Library
Oxford University is famous for its academic programs, but it’s also known for its outstanding libraries that are said to include more than 11 million books. The Old Library at Magdalen College is the crown jewel of the university’s library system. It contains more than 20,000 rare books. Nearly all of these volumes were published before 1800. It’s also said to be one of the most beautiful libraries in the world with its studious interior and dramatic Gothic Revival exterior.
Old Library
The world-famous Long Room in the Old Library at Trinity College Dublin is full of ancient books, marble busts (大理石半身像) and wood paneling (画板). It was built between 1712 and 1732 and houses 20,000 of the library’s oldest books, which are rare and of high value.
Treasures of the library’s extensive collection include a rare copy of the 1916 proclamation (公告) of the Irish Republic and a beautiful 15th century harp.
The Joe and Rika Mansueto Library
Opened in 2011, the Joe and Rika Mansueto Library at the University of Chicago in the US features a grand glass roof, perfect for staring out of when you need to give your eyes a rest.
The underground storage space for delicate books and records is climate controlled and features around 3.5 million volumes. If you’re not already impressed, the librarians are robots, which will locate and bring any book in the library to you in no more than three minutes.

I am touched by the story about a man and a cat. I’m a cat lover. I had many cats who accompanied me in my life and have two cats at present. Sometimes cats can be extremely sensitive, and they actually understand everything you do even sometimes your emotion can be effective to them. They can be very comforting when you feel sad or stressed. They are good listeners and perfect companions.
The book tells an uncommon friendship with the cat, which has led to the former homeless north London street performer finding a new way of life.
When James Bowen found an injured abandoned cat in the hallway of his apartment building, he had no idea about how his life would be changed. James was living hand to mouth on the street of London, and the last thing he needed was a pet. Yet Bowen couldn’t resist helping the strikingly intelligent but very sick cat, whom he quickly named Bob. He carefully nursed Bob back to health and then freed the cat, thinking he would never see it again.
Obviously, Bob had its own ideas.
Soon the two were good friends and enjoyed their colorful, funny life. Sometimes, they took adventures together. All these experiences would change both of them, slowly healing each other’s scars made by their troubled past.
It’s not very well written or deeply philosophical, it’s just a story about a sweet cat and a wonderful man, and that’s the best thing. You are likely to believe in the influence of animals after reading it. They can heal, teach, and push us to be better.
This is a reader-friendly English novel, which won’t terrify you with complex structures or uncommon vocabulary. When you read it, you will lose yourselves in this warm story. You can even feel the London street where they walk through everyday and hear the music of coins dropping into James’ guitar case while he’s performing with s mart Bob sitting beside him.

On Nov. 30, 2020, NASA flight engineer Kate Rubins pulled out 20 radish(萝卜)plants grown in the space station’s Advanced Plant Habitat, wrapping them in foil for cold storage until they can make the voyage back to Earth next year.
Back on the ground scientists at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida are growing radishes in a control group. The researchers will compare the space-grown radishes to the vegetables grown on Earth, checking on how space produce measures up on providing the minerals and nutrients astronauts(宇航员)need as they prepare for longer trips.
With their short growing time, radishes present potential advantages as a food source for future astronauts carrying out deep space missions in years to come. The radishes grow quickly, and they can be harvested in 27 days. The root vegetables also don’t require much care from people.
Astronauts have grown 15 different types of plants on the station, which include eight different types of leafy greens. And NASA has already tested more than 100 crops on Earth, identifying which plants to try out next in space. “Growing a range of crops helps us determine which plants grow better in microgravity and offer the best variety and nutritional balance for astronauts on long-time missions,” Dufour said.
Getting space agriculture right matters because the nutrients in the prepackaged food that astronauts currently eat in space degrade(降级) over a period of time, NASA said. Getting humans to Mars and back safely over a two-or-three-year mission requires growing food along the way. That not only gives astronauts more of a supply of fresh nutrients on the voyage, it also serves an emotional need as they tend to crops that are both a figurative(比喻的)and literal taste of home.
8. Why do astronauts choose to plant radishes in the space station
A. Radishes don’t need too much attention.
B. Radishes can be stored in cold conditions.
C. Radishes can supply enough nutrients alone.
D. Radishes’ growing time can be shortened in space.
9. What’s the purpose of testing various crops on Earth
A. To help researchers carry out experiments more correctly.
B. To provide astronauts in space with more choices of food.
C. To serve emotional support for astronauts on the voyage.
D. To make sure the plants grow well and avoid nutrition loss.
10. What does the underlined word “they” refer to in the last paragraph
A. Astronauts. B. Nutrients. C. Researchers. D. Radishes.
11. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. Agriculture in the future B. The food for astronauts
C. Planting radishes in space D. Preparations for space mission
D
You've probably learned that bears eat a lot before hibernating (冬眠), putting on weight suddenly. It's an enviable practice, because those bears don't have the same health problems as fat people. A study published in Cell Reports has found that it might be due to the bear's friendly gut microbes (肠道细菌).
In summer, bears go through an extreme period of eating, while they eat nothing about six months during winter hibernation. To compare the microbiomes (微生物) of both seasons, the researchers collected the samples of their waste from 16 wild bears during hibernation and in summer. What they found is that the bear's lifestyle changes dramatically with seasons. During hibernation, the kinds of microbiomes became less than the summer samples.
To find out how that might affect metabolism (新陈代谢), the researchers transferred the microbes from the winter and the summer into lab mice. Mice with the summer microbes gained more weight than those with the winter microbes. However, those fatter summer mice weren't different from the winter mice in their glucose (葡萄糖) metabolism. “Thus, the bear may be atypical model for healthy obesity (肥胖) and studying hibernation might be a promising approach to developing new treatments for obesity,” the authors write.
However, there are still more researches needed before humans benefit from bear gut microbes. The researchers note that relying on free-ranging wild bears means they know little about their food intake and other habits. And though they were able to produce interesting metabolic results in mice, mice are quite different from humans. And another research suggests that exposure to cold can also change the composition of gut bacteria, improving glucose metabolism and fat burning abilities in mice.
12. Why don't bears suffer the same health problems as fat people
A. Because of hibernation. B. Because of no exercise.
C. Because of their special food intake. D. Because of some friendly gut microbes.
13. What can we learn from the text
A. Bears' weight increases quickly during hibernating.
B. Bears' lifestyle changes greatly in different seasons.
C. Bears' microbiomes in summer are less than those in winter.
D. Bears' glucose metabolism varies with seasons.
14. What's the author's attitude to the benefits of the research for human
A. Favorable. B. Disapproving. C. Cautious. D. Curious.
15. What is the passage mainly about
A. The way of bears' metabolism.
B. The seasonal lifestyles of bears.
C The approach to treating obesity.
D. The cause of bears' healthy obesity.

One day my grandfather gave me a gift — a piggy bank. It had an opening through which one could put money in, but the opening was not big enough to reach in and get the money out. The only way to get at the money was to break the piggy bank open. My grandfather explained that was the whole idea; the piggy bank would help save my money so that, at the end of the year,I might have enough for that bike I dreamt about. He asked if I would put so me of the money he gave me into the piggy bank. I agreed immediately and promised that I wouldn't break it open until I could afford my dream bike.
Whenever he gave me a little bit of money, he would say, "This is for spending. But you can save so me and put it in the piggy bank if you want to save it up." When he gave me larger amounts, it was clearly for saving in the piggy bank. For some time, this worked fine. I loved shaking the piggy bank and hearing the sound of the coins. As it became heavier, I grew more excited, dreaming about buying my new bike, and all the adventures I could have on it
Whenever I wanted to take some money from the piggy bank to buy delicious ice-creams or beautiful pens,I would imagine riding my bike on the street,and thinking of that, my thoughts about ice-creams or pens went away. So for almost six months, I only put money into the piggy bank without taking any out. I thought I wouldn't break my piggy bank for anything. But one day something unexpected happened. I saw a piece of news on the television that a serious earthquake had happened in a nearby province. As many houses were destroyed, a lot of children became homeless. Seeing their shabby clothes and crying faces, I was sleepless that night.

I am touched by the story about a man and a cat. I’m a cat lover. I had many cats who accompanied me in my life and have two cats at present. Sometimes cats can be extremely sensitive, and they actually understand everything you do even sometimes your emotion can be effective to them. They can be very comforting when you feel sad or stressed. They are good listeners and perfect companions.
The book tells an uncommon friendship with the cat, which has led to the former homeless north London street performer finding a new way of life.
When James Bowen found an injured abandoned cat in the hallway of his apartment building, he had no idea about how his life would be changed. James was living hand to mouth on the street of London, and the last thing he needed was a pet. Yet Bowen couldn’t resist helping the strikingly intelligent but very sick cat, whom he quickly named Bob. He carefully nursed Bob back to health and then freed the cat, thinking he would never see it again.
Obviously, Bob had its own ideas.
Soon the two were good friends and enjoyed their colorful, funny life. Sometimes, they took adventures together. All these experiences would change both of them, slowly healing each other’s scars made by their troubled past.
It’s not very well written or deeply philosophical, it’s just a story about a sweet cat and a wonderful man, and that’s the best thing. You are likely to believe in the influence of animals after reading it. They can heal, teach, and push us to be better.
This is a reader-friendly English novel, which won’t terrify you with complex structures or uncommon vocabulary. When you read it, you will lose yourselves in this warm story. You can even feel the London street where they walk through everyday and hear the music of coins dropping into James’ guitar case while he’s performing with s mart Bob sitting beside him.

【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“I am touched by the story about a man and a cat.（我被一个男人和一只猫的故事感动了）”及下文讲述可推断，作者提到自己是一个爱猫者，是为了解释为什么会被这个故事感动。故选C。
【5题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第二段“The book tells an uncommon friendship with the cat, which has led to the former homeless north London street performer finding a new way of life.(这本书讲述了他与这只猫的一段不寻常的友谊，正是这段友谊让这位曾经无家可归的伦敦北部街头艺人找到了一种新的生活方式)”和划线词后句“and the last thing he needed was a pet.（他最不需要的就是一只宠物）”可知，詹姆斯·鲍恩无家可归且流落街头，从而推断这个男人生活很贫穷自己都难以养活。所以living hand to mouth为“上顿不接下顿；收入勉强糊口”之意。D选择项“Hardly making enough money to feed himself.(挣的钱几乎不够养活自己。)”含义与此一致。故选D。
【6题详解】

On Nov. 30, 2020, NASA flight engineer Kate Rubins pulled out 20 radish(萝卜)plants grown in the space station’s Advanced Plant Habitat, wrapping them in foil for cold storage until they can make the voyage back to Earth next year.
Back on the ground, scientists at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida are growing radishes in a control group. The researchers will compare the space-grown radishes to the vegetables grown on Earth, checking on how space produce measures up on providing the minerals and nutrients astronauts(宇航员)need as they prepare for longer trips.
With their short growing time, radishes present potential advantages as a food source for future astronauts carrying out deep space missions in years to come. The radishes grow quickly, and they can be harvested in 27 days. The root vegetables also don’t require much care from people.
Astronauts have grown 15 different types of plants on the station, which include eight different types of leafy greens. And NASA has already tested more than 100 crops on Earth, identifying which plants to try out next in space. “Growing a range of crops helps us determine which plants grow better in microgravity and offer the best variety and nutritional balance for astronauts on long-time missions,” Dufour said.
Getting space agriculture right matters because the nutrients in the prepackaged food that astronauts currently eat in space degrade(降级) over a period of time, NASA said. Getting humans to Mars and back safely over a two-or-three-year mission requires growing food along the way. That not only gives astronauts more of a supply of fresh nutrients on the voyage, it also serves an emotional need as they tend to crops that are both a figurative(比喻的)and literal taste of home.
8. Why do astronauts choose to plant radishes in the space station
A. Radishes don’t need too much attention.
B. Radishes can be stored in cold conditions.
C. Radishes can supply enough nutrients alone.
D. Radishes’ growing time can be shortened in space.
9. What’s the purpose of testing various crops on Earth
A. To help researchers carry out experiments more correctly.
B. To provide astronauts in space with more choices of food.
C. To serve emotional support for astronauts on the voyage.
D. To make sure the plants grow well and avoid nutrition loss.
10. What does the underlined word “they” refer to in the last paragraph
A. Astronauts. B. Nutrients. C. Researchers. D. Radishes.
11. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. Agriculture in the future B. The food for astronauts
C. Planting radishes in space D. Preparations for space mission
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了太空萝卜的优势，以及科学家对于进行地球与太空作物种植进行比较分析对比更适合宇航员的食物来源。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。细节理解题。根据第三段“With their short growing time, radishes present potential advantages as a food source for future astronauts carrying out deep space missions in years to come. The radishes grow quickly, and they can be harvested in 27 days. The root vegetables also don’t require much care from people.（由于萝卜生长时间短，在未来几年里，作为未来宇航员进行深空任务的食物来源，萝卜具有潜在的优势。萝卜长得很快，27天就能收获。根茎类蔬菜也不需要人们太多的照料）”可知，宇航员选择在空间站种萝卜是因为萝卜生长快，并且不需要太多的照料。故选A。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“And NASA has already tested more than 100 crops on Earth, identifying which plants to try out next in space. "Growing a range of crops helps us determine which plants grow better in microgravity and offer the best variety and nutritional balance for astronauts on long-time missions," Dufour said.（美国国家航空航天局已经在地球上测试了100多种作物，确定了哪些植物可以在太空中试用。杜福尔说：“种植一系列作物有助于我们确定哪种作物在微重力环境下生长得更好，并为长期执行任务的宇航员提供最好的品种和营养平衡。”）”推知，在地球上试验各种作物的目的是为太空中的宇航员提供更多的食物选择，以达到营养平衡的目的。故选B。
【10题详解】
词义猜测题。根据最后一段“That not only gives astronauts more of a supply of fresh nutrients on the voyage, it also serves an emotional need as they tend to crops that are both a figurative and literal taste of home.（这不仅为宇航员在航行中提供了更多的新鲜营养，还满足了他们的情感需求，因为他们倾向于种植具有家的象征意义和字面意义的作物。）”可知，本段主要讲述的是这些食物对于宇航员的好处，所以此处的they指代的是前句中的astronauts(宇航员)。故选A。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Astronauts have grown 15 different types of plants on the station, which include eight different types of leafy greens.(2020年11月30日，美国国家航空航天局飞行工程师凯特·鲁宾斯从空间站的高级植物栖息地取出20棵萝卜，用箔纸包裹起来冷藏，直到明年返回地球。)”及全文可知，文章用在太空种萝卜的优势，引出科学家对同一条件下地球与太空种植的作物进行比较分析找到更适合宇航员的食物来源这一话题。所以“Planting radishes in space(在太空种萝卜)”作为文章标题最为合适，能引起读者的好奇心。故选C。
D
You've probably learned that bears eat a lot before hibernating (冬眠), putting on weight suddenly. It's an enviable practice, because those bears don't have the same health problems as fat people. A study published in Cell Reports has found that it might be due to the bear's friendly gut microbes (肠道细菌).
In summer, bears go through an extreme period of eating, while they eat nothing about six months during winter hibernation. To compare the microbiomes (微生物) of both seasons, the researchers collected the samples of their waste from 16 wild bears during hibernation and in summer. What they found is that the bear's lifestyle changes dramatically with seasons. During hibernation, the kinds of microbiomes became less than the summer samples.
To find out how that might affect metabolism (新陈代谢), the researchers transferred the microbes from the winter and the summer into lab mice. Mice with the summer microbes gained more weight than those with the winter microbes. However, those fatter summer mice weren't different from the winter mice in their glucose (葡萄糖) metabolism. “Thus, the bear may be atypical model for healthy obesity (肥胖) and studying hibernation might be a promising approach to developing new treatments for obesity,” the authors write.
However, there are still more researches needed before humans benefit from bear gut microbes. The researchers note that relying on free-ranging wild bears means they know little about their food intake and other habits. And though they were able to produce interesting metabolic results in mice, mice are quite different from humans. And another research suggests that exposure to cold can also change the composition of gut bacteria, improving glucose metabolism and fat burning abilities in mice.
12. Why don't bears suffer the same health problems as fat people
A. Because of hibernation. B. Because of no exercise.
C. Because of their special food intake. D. Because of some friendly gut microbes.
13. What can we learn from the text
A. Bears' weight increases quickly during hibernating.
B. Bears' lifestyle changes greatly in different seasons.
C. Bears' microbiomes in summer are less than those in winter.
D. Bears' glucose metabolism varies with seasons.
14. What's the author's attitude to the benefits of the research for human
A. Favorable. B. Disapproving. C. Cautious. D. Curious.
15. What is the passage mainly about
A. The way of bears' metabolism.
B. The seasonal lifestyles of bears.
C. The approach to treating obesity.
D. The cause of bears' healthy obesity.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. D

One day my grandfather gave me a gift — a piggy bank. It had an opening through which one could put money in, but the opening was not big enough to reach in and get the money out. The only way to get at the money was to break the piggy bank open. My grandfather explained that was the whole idea; the piggy bank would help save my money so that, at the end of the year,I might have enough for that bike I dreamt about. He asked if I would put so me of the money he gave me into the piggy bank. I agreed immediately and promised that I wouldn't break it open until I could afford my dream bike.
Whenever he gave me a little bit of money, he would say, "This is for spending. But you can save so me and put it in the piggy bank if you want to save it up." When he gave me larger amounts, it was clearly for saving in the piggy bank. For some time, this worked fine. I loved shaking the piggy bank and hearing the sound of the coins. As it became heavier, I grew more excited, dreaming about buying my new bike, and all the adventures I could have on it
Whenever I wanted to take some money from the piggy bank to buy delicious ice-creams or beautiful pens,I would imagine riding my bike on the street,and thinking of that, my thoughts about ice-creams or pens went away. So for almost six months, I only put money into the piggy bank without taking any out. I thought I wouldn't break my piggy bank for anything. But one day something unexpected happened. I saw a piece of news on the television that a serious earthquake had happened in a nearby province. As many houses were destroyed, a lot of children became homeless. Seeing their shabby clothes and crying faces, I was sleepless that night.

"Yes, those children need help and need the money more." I said to myself.
My grandfather was surprised by my behavior. When he realized what had happened, he fondly touched my head and said, "Good boy, you did the right thing. Grandpa is proud of you." He continued, "My dear grandson, you deserve that bicycle. As a bonus, let's buy that bike together now. Then, go for a spring outing by bike. “Thank you, Grandpa. ” I was overwhelmed with happiness.
