How cool can libraries be in an era(时代) of iPods and Kindles?More than you think.Only if you know where to go.
Central Library:Seattle,Washington,the United States
The Central Library in Seattle is modern and fashionable and has tourists from around the world paying visits and taking tours.It was designed by Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas and American designer Joshua Ramus.Tours began in 2006,two years after its opening.The library holds various art exhibitions,book signings and other events,while visitors can stop by the Chocolate cart for a coffee and scan through the gift shop anytime.
Trinity College Library:Dublin,Ireland
The Trinity College Library in Dublin is the oldest library in Ireland,founded in 1592 by Queen Elizabeth Ⅰ.It is the largest single library in the world,also known as the Long Room,which contains more than 200,000 of the library's oldest books.The Long Room houses one of the oldest harps(竖琴) in Ireland.Dating back to the 15th century,the old harp is the model for the symbol of Ireland.
Geisel Library,University of California:San Diego,United States
At first glance,it looks like a spaceship.Architect William Pereira,who helped design actual space launch facilities at Cape Canaveral in Houston,Texas,designed the library in 1970.It has been featured in sci fi films,short stories and novels.The library hosts “Dinner in the Library”,which invites readers for cocktails,and also a special speech from distinguished authors.
TU Delft Library:Delft,Netherlands
The library at the Delft University of Technology was constructed in 1997 and has more than 862,000 books,16,000 magazine subscriptions and its own museum.The building itself exists beneath the ground,so you can't really see the actual library.What makes it interesting is the roof,which is a grassy hill.The roof covers 5,500 square meters.And it has become one of the most striking and greenest structures in the area.

Three days earlier,a super typhoon attacked a coastal country,cutting off all communication with the outside.Thousands of people died in the storm.
Whether the destruction(破坏) caused by extreme weather events can be related to human emissions(排放物) of greenhouse gases is most discussed in climate science.If this relation is established,extreme weather can be the severest result of climate change that threatens a range of human rights,including the rights to life,food,health,housing,development and self determination.
Felix Pretis of the University of Victoria has shown even 1.5℃ of global warming will reduce economic growth in some regions,and that the tropics(热带) will feel this impact more than other areas.Some studies predict that the number of heat related deaths in many parts,South East Asia among them,will be far more than the number of cold related deaths.
And then there're negative effects of extreme weather events,which have the potential to kill thousands.Myles Allen,a climate modeler at the University of Oxford,has led research into whether specific weather events can be owed to broader climate trends(趋势).He used climate models to model the super typhoon with and without greenhouse gas emissions.The former accurately reproduced the actual events,in terms of the weather patterns(模式),wind speeds and so on.In 15 out of 16 times without industrial emissions,the storm was weaker.
The study shows human emissions are likely to increase wind speeds,which results in a storm move that is 20% higher than it might be in the absence of climate change.It is this move that proves particularly destructive.“It's not true that without human influence this event could never have happened,” Dr Allen said.“But through this study you can see this impact.”
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了极端天气事件带来的负面影响以及极端天气事件造成的破坏是否与人类排放的温室气体有关问题的研究。
8.What is the purpose of the first paragraph
A.To show the mass destruction of super typhoons.
B.To give an example of the extreme weather event.
C.To introduce discussion on such events and human emissions.
D.To warn people about possible results of climate change.
C [推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Whether the destruction caused by extreme weather events can be related to human emissions of greenhouse gases is most discussed in climate science.(极端天气事件造成的破坏是否与人类排放的温室气体有关是气候科学中讨论最多的问题)”可推测,第一段的目的是介绍关于此类事件和人类排放的讨论。故选C。]
9.What is mainly expressed in paragraph 3
A.Studies on harm of climate change are needed.
B.Global warming will damage human rights.
C.Both high and low temperatures are dangerous.
D.Some areas are affected by global warming.
B [段落大意题。根据第二段中的“If this relation is established,extreme weather can be the severest result of climate change that threatens a range of human rights...”可知,第三段是关于第二段的结论举例说明,所以第三段主要表达的是全球变暖会对经济发展和人的生命造成伤害,即人权损害。故选B。]
10.How did Myles Allen conduct his experiment
A.By making comparisons.
B.By analyzing examples.
C.By collecting data.
D.By analyzing causes and results.
A [细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“He used climate models to model the super typhoon with and without greenhouse gas emissions.(他使用气候模型来模拟有温室气体排放和没有温室气体排放的超级台风)”可知,迈尔斯·艾伦是通过比较进行实验的。故选A。]
11.What do the climate models suggest
A.The storm resulted from greenhouse gas emissions.
B.Human behavior increases the frequency of storms.
C.Wind speeds are determined by industrial emissions.
D.Human influence worsens extreme weather events.
D [推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“The study shows human emissions are likely to increase wind speeds,which results in a storm move that is 20% higher than it might be in the absence of climate change.(研究表明,人类排放的气体可能会增加风速,导致风暴移动速度比没有气候变化的情况下高出20%)”可知,气候模型说明了人类的影响加剧了极端天气事件的发生。故选D。]

Depression(抑郁症)in young adult males,ages 18 or 19,is linked to a 20% greater risk of having a heart attack in middle age,according to a new Swedish study.
The link can be partly explained by poorer stress resilience(抗压能力)and lower physical fitness among teens with mental disorders.
The research included 238,013 men born between 1958 and 1962 who were given examinations in adolescence(青春期)and were then followed into middle age (up to the age of 58 years).A total of 34,503 men were diagnosed(诊断)with a mental disorder.
The study found that a mental disorder in young adulthood was linked to a higher risk of having heart attack by middle pared to men without a mental illness in young adulthood,the risk of heart attack was 20% higher among men with a diagnosis.
“We already knew that men who were physically fit in adolescence seem less likely to keep fitness in later years if they have low stress resilience.” said study author Dr.Bergh,“Our research has also shown that low stress resilience is also connected with a greater tendency towards bad behavior,such as higher risks of smoking,drinking and other drug use.”
“Better fitness in adolescence is likely to help protect against later heart disease,particularly if people stay fit as they age.Physical activity may also reduce some of the bad effects of stress.Those in poor health could benefit from additional support to encourage exercise and develop plans to deal with stress,” said Bergh.
【语篇解读】 文章主要介绍了18岁或19岁的患抑郁症的年轻成年男性到中年时心脏病发作的风险高20%这一科研成果以及这一研究成果带来的和身体健康相关的其他研究发现。
12.How does the author develop paragraph 3
A.By listing figures.
B.By giving examples.
C.By making a comparison.
D.By drawing a conclusion.
A [推理判断题。根据第三段中“The research included 238,013 men born between 1958 and 1962 who were given examinations in adolescence and were then followed into middle age (up to the age of 58 years).A total of 34,503 men were diagnosed with a mental disorder.”可知,作者通过列举数字的方法表明这项研究的进行方式以及研究结果的来源。故选A项。]
13.What are men with low stress resilience likely to do
A.Sleep less. B.Eat more.
C.Smoke more. D.Do less exercise.
C [细节理解题。根据第五段中“Our research has also shown that low stress resilience is also connected with a greater tendency towards bad behavior,such as higher risks of smoking,drinking and other drug use.”可知,抗压能力低的男性更可能会有吸烟、喝酒,和使用其他药物的行为。故选C项。]
14.What will Bergh agree with according to the last paragraph
A.Physical activity can't help reduce stress.
B.Stress may cause heart disease.
C.Taking exercise is unnecessary.
D.Staying fit is always of great importance.
D [推理判断题。根据最后一段Bergh所说的“Better fitness in adolescence is likely to help protect against later heart disease,particularly if people stay fit as they age.”以及“Those in poor health could benefit from additional support to encourage exercise and develop plans to deal with stress”可知,Bergh认同保持健康总是很重要这一观点。故选D项。]
15.In which section of a newspaper may this text appear
A.Entertainment. B.Health.
C.Education. D.Fashion.
B [推理判断题。文章首段以“Depression in young adult males,ages 18 or 19,is linked to a 20% greater risk of having a heart attack in middle age,according to a new Swedish study.”引入,接着下文都是围绕这一研究成果展开的分析,并且文章最后一段延伸谈及健康的重要性可知,这篇文章讲的都和身体健康有关,因此可以刊登在报纸的健康版面。故选B项。]
第二节
Reactions to Disappointment
No one gets through life without experiencing many disappointments. 16 They tend to react to it in negative ways.They feel depressed(意志消沉的) or try to escape their troubles instead of using disappointment as a chance to grow.
One negative reaction to disappointment is depression.For example,Helen,a woman trying to win a promotion(晋升),works hard for over a year in her department. 17 Deeply depressed,Helen loses her love for her job.
18 Jamal fails to get into the college his brother is attending,the college that was the focus of all his dreams,and decides to escape his disappointment.He covers up his real feelings by giving up on his schoolwork and getting completely busy with friends,parties,and “good times.”
The positive way to react to disappointment is to use it as a chance for growth.This isn't easy,but it's the only useful way to deal with an unavoidable part of life. 19 If her boss doesn't recognize her talent and hard work,perhaps she could move to another department.Or she could ask the boss how to improve her performance so that she would be sure to get the next promotion. 20 Going to another college may encourage him to be his own person,out of his brother's shadow,and realize that being turned down by one college isn't a final judgment on his abilities or potential.
Disappointments are unwelcome but regular visitors to everyone's life.Step over the unwelcome visitor on the doorstep and get on with life.
A.Jamal should look into other schools.
B.Instead,Jamal doesn't worry about college at all.
C.However,the boss names one of Helen's co workers for the spot.
D.Another negative reaction to disappointment is the desire to escape.
E.Strangely,though,most people seem unprepared for disappointment.
F.Helen could have handled her disappointment by looking at other choices.
G.All the other employees tell Helen she is the one who deserves the promotion.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇议论文。本文论述了在生活中,人们应该以积极的心态面对失望,把失望当作成长的机会,而不是选择沮丧和逃避。
16.E [下文“They tend to react to it in negative ways.”说明了很多人对待失望采取的是消极的心态,且E选项中的“seem unprepared”与下文“in negative ways”相呼应。故选E项。]
17.C [根据上文海伦努力工作是为了得到一个晋升的机会,以及下文“Deeply depressed,Helen loses her love for her job.”说明海伦可能因为工作中失望的事情而对工作失去了热情,因此,C项“However,the boss names one of Helen's co workers for the spot.”符合语境。故选C。]
18.D [下文“Jamal fails to get into the college his brother is attending...and decides to escape his disappointment.” 举例说明贾马尔因为没有进入他哥哥就读的大学而决定逃避他的失望,D项“Another negative reaction to disappointment is the desire to escape.”与下文构成顺承关系,选项中的关键词“escape”与下文“escape”相呼应,故选D。]
19.F [下文“如果她的老板不承认她的才华和勤奋,也许她可以转到另一个部门。或者……”具体说明海伦本可以通过一些积极的方式处理升职失望,因此,F项符合题意,“other choices”是关键词,与下文构成总分关系。故选F。]
20.A [下文“上另一所大学可能会鼓励他做自己,走出哥哥的阴影,……”说明贾马尔可以选择另外一所大学就读,而不是纠结于没能进入哥哥的大学就读。因此A项符合题意,选项中关键词“other schools”与下文“another college”相呼应。故选A。]

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was one of the hottest days in the dry season.We had not seen rain for almost a month.The crops were dying.Cows had stopped giving milk.The streams were long gone back into the earth.If we didn't see some rain soon,we would lose everything.It was on this day that I learned the true lesson of sharing and witnessed the only miracles I have ever seen in my life.
I was making lunch for the family in the kitchen when I saw my six year old son,Billy,walking toward the woods.He was obviously walking with a great effort,trying to be as still as possible.Minutes after he disappeared into the woods,he came running out again,toward the house.I went back to making sandwiches thinking that whatever task he had been doing was completed.
Moments later,however,he was once again walking in that unusual way toward the woods.This activity went on for an hour.Finally,my curiosity got the best of me.I crept out of the house and followed him on his journey.
He was cupping both hands in front of him as he walked,being very careful not to spill the water he carried.I followed him secretly as he went into the woods.Branches slapped(拍打) his little face but he did not try to avoid them.He might have a much higher purpose,I thought.As I came closer,I saw the most amazing sight.Several large deer stood in front of him.Billy walked right up to them,at the sight of which I almost screamed at him to get away.A huge buck(雄鹿) was dangerously close.But the buck didn't threaten him nor even move as Billy knelt down.And then I saw a tiny baby deer,lying on the ground,obviously suffering from thirst and heat,lift its head with great effort to drink the water in my boy's hands.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
When the water was gone,Billy jumped up to run back to the house.
Instead of lecturing him like his father,I decided to help him.
【参考范文】
When the water was gone,Billy jumped up to run back to the house.Hiding behind a tree,I followed him back to the house.Billy carefully opened the tap water and a small trickle began to creep out.He knelt down,letting the drops drip slowly onto his hands.He was so attentive and patient that he almost ignored the sun beating down on his back.
Instead of lecturing him like his father,I decided to help him.It took almost twenty minutes for the drops to fill his hands.When he stood up and went back to the woods,I was there in front of him.I didn't say anything but hugged him tightly.As he began his walk,I joined him,with a small pot of water from the kitchen.Tears rolled down my face as I stood on the edge of the woods watching a beautiful heart working so hard to save the baby deer.
