第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）
第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Join us for the opening of the schools of
the future exhibition — event
The year is 2035. A group of schoolchildren heads over to a garden for lunch and, after the break, teachers send lessons into headsets (头戴式耳机) worn by students. The wearable tech is able to read body signals to make sure the child is concentrating (全神贯注) and can differentiate the lessons according to how their young charge is getting along. It can also send a full progress assessment (评估) to the teacher.
This is one picture of the future of school life, but how likely is it? Over the past five months, the Guardian Teacher Network has been exploring how schools might develop over the next twenty years and beyond. Our journalists have explored a series of topics from whether computers could replace teachers and how some libraries are breaking with tradition, to the rise of outdoor learning and the forest school revolution. One area that provides much food for thought is the future of school dinners. Journalist Matthew Jenkin has looked back at Jamie Oliver抯 campaign against Turkey Twizzlers, deciding that the next hot topics include mealtimes and foods.
We抮e now bringing these ideas to life in an exciting exhibition, supported by Zurich Municipal, held at our offices in London. It is free to attend. We抣l be hearing from Liz Sproat, the head of education for Google across Europe, Middle East and Africa.
We抎 love for you to join us for a spot of future drinks and food.

The Red Bicycle is a storybook about a bicycle抯 journey from North America to the countryside in West Africa. The full name of the book is The Red Bicycle: The Extraordinary Story of One Ordinary Bicycle, and was written by Jude Isabella from Canada.
Leo wants a bike, not just any bike but a red one. He makes money by doing part-time jobs until he has enough money to buy it. He loves his new bike and names it Big Red. He rides Big Red everywhere for many years until he is finally too big for it. Because he has taken such good care of the bike, it looks almost new. He wants to give the bike to someone who really needs it, and will love it the way he does. Leo learns about a charity that sends donated (捐赠的) bikes to people in Africa.
When Big Red arrives in Africa, the bike finds a new owner, a young girl named Alisetta. She learns to ride Big Red and uses it to help her family on their farm. She also rides Big Red to the market to sell goods that her grandmother made. She earns money so her sister can go to school. Alisetta earns enough money to buy another bike. But while she is gone, Big Red is destroyed by a pig. A worker from a hospital then takes Big Red, repairs it, and turns it into an ambulance (救护车). Then, a young woman, named Haridata, uses the bike to bring sick people to the hospital.

When my boss started talking about pension (退休金) arrangements, it suddenly dawned on me: I was going to be stuck working in an office job for the next 40 years. I’d always dreamed of working outdoors but I ended up doing a law degree at the University of the West of England in Bristol, thinking that this would bring me a better job.
After graduating, I became an adviser. I enjoyed the work, but knew it wasn抰 the right career for me. At this point, my 98-year-old grandma died, leaving me enough money to pay for an agricultural course. I decided to study agriculture at the Royal Agricultural College in Cirencester.
I loved the programme. I spent my holidays from milking cows to helping in farm shops. I spent time lambing (照料母羊产羔) on a beautiful hill farm in Wales. I’d get up at 5 am in the morning, go out to care for the lambs that had been born over night.
In my old job, getting up early to go to the office was a struggle. It’s easier on a farm, where you know there are animals that rely on you. They’re living things, and if you don’t turn up something serious might happen to them.
I’ve also been fortunate enough to find a job as industry communications manager with Red Tractor, the largest food assurance scheme (保障计划) in the UK. The role is very varied: one day I might talk at an agricultural show, educating children about where their food comes from; the next day I could be managing the design of the new food and farming standards.
My advice to anyone wanting a career change is to seize (抓住) the moment. To those interested in working in agriculture, try to get as much work experience as you can.
28. What does the underlined part “dawned on” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Hit. B. Moved. C. Excited. D. Satisfied.
29. What does the author think of her job on a farm?
A. Busy. B. Tiring. C. Difficult. D. Enjoyable.
30. What did the author do at Red Tractor?
A. She milked cows.
B. She helped in farm shops.
C. She took care of lambs on the farm.
D. She gave speeches on agriculture to children.
31. What is the author抯 advice to readers?
A. Work as a volunteer on a farm.
B. Make a career change as soon as possible.
C. Take the chance to do what you want to do.
D. Get enough work experience before looking for a job.
D
One theory is that kissing all began when cavemen began licking (舔) their neighbours’ faces for the salt on them. But whatever it might have been for, the fact remains that, in one form or another, kissing has been widespread, though it developed mostly in the West.
Ancient Greek and Roman parents kissed their children, and lovers or married people kissed each other, as did friends. In the Middle Ages (the period in European history between about 1100 and 1500 AD) knights kissed before doing battle. Early Christians were often kissed to express respect.
Kissing is very much a cultural practice, and rules and attitudes vary across the globe. The French, who have had quite a lot of kissing practice, have turned kissing into a fine social art, although these days, even they are not sure when or how to do it. Many French kiss one another three, or even more, times. It can sometimes go on for a long time. Italians are enthusiastic kissers at all times, and they have been for centuries. Arabic men greet one another with kisses, as do Arabic women. Russian men too are often seen greeting one another with kisses, and it is especially noticeable in the world of Russia, where the three-kiss greeting has become a social behavior. The British, though, remain shy about social kissing. The Japanese, along with many Asian peoples, consider kissing, at least in public, as a Western custom and sometimes even offensive (冒犯的). Kissing has, however, become more commonplace in some Asian countries in the past few years.
But kissing does seem to be on the increase. We kiss people we used to hug, we hug people we used to shake hands with, and we shake hands with those we used to nod to.
32. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. The importance of kissing.
B. Kissing in the Middle Ages.
C. Different reasons for kissing.
D. The early development of kissing.
33. What can we learn about kissing in France?
A. It influences other countries.
B. It seems a bit confusing.
C. It always changes.
D. It takes less time.
34. Where is social kissing least popular?
A. In Britain. B. In Russia.
C. In France. D. In Italy.
35. What does the underlined sentence try to say?
A. Kisses are more welcome than hugs.
B. People抯 manners are getting friendlier.
C. Kissing is a better way to show respect.
D. There are many different forms of greeting.

A ray of sunlight makes its way through the leaves and lights up a new day for all kinds of animals. The rain forest is waking up.

Water Cycle
Trees and other plants let water out into the atmosphere — then the water falls back to earth as rain. Rain forest trees can give out a lot of water, up to 200 gallons each year. 39 , so it is always warm and wet.
Rain forests help to stablize (使……稳定) the climate of the world. 40 . That抯 good because too much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere can make the planet too warm.
A. The rain forest has four layers
B. Trees in the rain forest grow very tall
C. Rain forests can be considered destroyed
D. The biggest rain forest is the Amazon rain forest
E. The tallest trees block the light from the trees below
F. They not only make rain but also take in carbon dioxide

Ireland is known for many things — its rich history, green hills, and St. Patrick’s Day. Celebrated on March 17 every year, the holiday is well known in the early-20th century as a religious day. However, it is now widely recognized as a celebration of Irish and Irish-American culture with fun traditions that include hunting for leprechauns, enjoying beef, and wearing bright green clothing.
While St. Patrick抯 Day is one of Ireland抯 holidays, the clergyman (牧师), whose death day it marks, was from the west coast of modern-day England.
Though wearing green on St. Patrick’s Day is now the tradition, it was not the color of choice from the start. When the Order of St. Patrick was set up in the 1780s, the followers wore blue. Green was only used once it became associated with Irish nationalism in the 1790s and considered as a good representation of the country抯 green hills.
While most US cities hold a St. Patrick抯 Day parade, New York City, which began the tradition in 1762, hosts the biggest one. Though the Dublin, Ireland parade, which started in 1998, cannot match the impressive numbers, the city makes up for it with a week-long celebration which attracts over a million people. For the ninth year, over 300 of the world抯 landmarks will celebrate the occasion by turning green on March 17.
No celebration is complete without enjoying a traditional dish or two. For St. Patrick抯 Day, that means enjoying corned beef, cabbage, potatoes, and carrots as much as one likes. The tradition is believed to have come from early Irish immigrants (移民) to the United States, who were only able to afford meat once a week. As beef was the cheapest one, it became the meat of choice. However, don’t expect to see the Irish in Ireland dining on the same food! They ususally prefer bacon and lamb and would have most likely eaten pork and potatoes in the past.
1. What do we know about St. Patrick抯 Day?
A. It was started by St. Patrick.
B. It was first celebrated by hunters.
C. It is a religious and cultural celebration.
D. It is celebrated on St. Patrick抯 birthday.
2. Why do people wear green on St. Patrick抯 Day?
A. It is St. Patrick抯 favorite color.
B. It is related to Irish nationalism.
C. It was worn by followers in the beginning.
D. It represents the color of the natural scenery in England.
3. What can be learned about St. Patrick抯 Day from Paragraph 4?
A. It is well known worldwide.
B. It has a nine-year history in Dublin.
C. New York City has celebrated it since 1998.
D. Ireland held the biggest festival parade in 1762.
4. How do the Irish in Ireland celebrate St. Patrick抯 Day?
A. They eat pricy food.
B. They enjoy a one-meal day.
C. They enjoy bacon and lamb.
D. They eat the same food as Irish-Americans.
B
For all those who agree with Neil Gaiman抯 motto in American Gods that 揳 town isn抰 a town without a bookstore, what might be the perfect holiday choice has just been listed on Airbnb: the chance to become a bookseller for a week or two.
For the total cost of 150 a week, guests at The Open Book in Wigtown, Scotland抯 national book town, will be expected to sell books for 40 hours a week while living in the flat above the shop. Given training in bookselling from Wigtown抯 community of booksellers, they will also have the chance to put their 搊wn stamp on the store while they抮e there. 揟he Open Book抯 aim is to celebrate bookshops, encourage education in running independent bookshops and welcome people around the world to Scotland抯 national book town, says the Airbnb listing.
The Open Book is leased (出租) by the Wigtown Book Festival from a local family. Organisers have been letting paying volunteers run the shop for a week or two at a time, and opened the experience up to the world at large.
“I wouldn’t call it a working holiday,” said Adrian Turpin, director of the Wigtown Book Festival. “It’s not about cheap labour (体力劳动) — it’s about offering people an experience.” The money is “just necessary to cover our costs,” said Turpin, admitting that “it can be a hard life, selling books in a small town, so it抯 not a holiday for everybody.
揑 think the shop would have closed, without this, he said. 揝o part of the idea was to get new people in people who would hopefully end up having a good time and a long-standing relationship with the town.
The idea comes at a difficult moment for independent booksellers. In 2005, there were 1,535 independent bookshops in the UK, with the number dropping to 939 by 2014.
So far, The Open Book has been leased around 10 times, with guests including those from The Bookshop Band, a librarian from Portland, a Dutch government employee, and an 80-year-old couple.
揑t is playing shop in a way, but they are truly selling books, said Turpin. 揥igtown has only 800 people, but it抯 a real community of bookshop owners. The aim is that people come and take part in the community.
5. What does Airbnb offer?
A. Neil Gaiman抯 books.
B. Mottos of famous people.
C. A chance to run a bookstore.
D. A holiday trip to small towns.
6. What can be learned about The Open Book?
A. It costs 150 every day.
B. It aims to develop bookstores.
C. It offers a free flat for customers.
D. It requires booksellers with selling skills.
7. What抯 Adrian Turpin抯 opinion on the Wigtown Book Festival?
A. It抯 an awful experience.
B. It should raise its charges.
C. It has saved the bookstore.
D. It抯 a festival for everyone.
8. What抯 the present situation of The Open Book?
A. It faces a difficult time.
B. It attracts various people.
C. It has never been leased yet.
D. It has set up a community nearby.

One possible version：
Libraries in twenty years will surely be different from what they are today.
First, instead of paper books, all books will be stored in the form of chips. You抣l get what you need by simply touching a large screen. Moreover, you will find several buttons on the screen, each of which performs a special function. For example, when you push a certain button, the content of the book will be presented in the form of a movie where you will enjoy it vividly. If you want to renew a book, you can input a code and immediately the book will appear on your mobile phone.
I believe such libraries will be a part of our life in twenty years.

41. B。由第二段中的I ended up walking around the shop with him that day以及stopped the haircut可知，十岁的Jordie Rowland第一次来理发店理发，很不配合，未能成功理发，故选B项。disaster在此意为“彻底失败”。

43. D。I got in a few cuts与stopped the haircut 之间是转折关系，故填but。
44. B。由上文中的stopped the haircut可知，“我”看出Jordie很“紧张（nervous）”。
45. A。由Jordie的表现可知，对于自闭症儿童来说，理发是“痛苦的（painful）”，Jordie也不例外。
46. C。47. B。48. C。由上文中的stopped the haircut和Cutting hair can be ... for some children with autism ... no different以及该句中的so I could connect with him可知，“我”认为“我”“失败了（failed）”，这让“我”“想（want）”多了解自闭症。这样的话，“我”就能够理解Jordie，帮助他克服对理发的“恐惧（fear）”。
49. D。由第二段的描述可知，“我”第一次给Jordie理发“不成功（unsuccessful）”。
50. C。51. A。由上文中的His hair was long和第50空后的I’d get ... just go crazy以及下文中的But I knew we had to just keep going可知，“我”“不能（could never）”正常地理发。我剪几下，他就会发疯，那是一段“艰难的（hard）”时光。
52. D。由下文的描述可知，此处表示“我”甚至去他家试了试，没成功，故填luck。
53. A。54. B。由下文中的soon opened my own shop可知，因为“我”让顾客在理发店关门停止营业后来理发，老板“惩罚了（punished）”“我”。“我”很失落，于是“辞掉了（left）”那份工作。
55. C。56. A。由下文中的I gave him a full haircut for the first time以及Two weeks ... let me do it again可知，每两周在“我”关门停止营业后，Jordie会“来（come by）”理发店。几个星期以前，我们有了“进展（progress）。
57. D。58. C。由下文中的He looked at me as if he were mesmerized以及Jordie以前理发时的发现可知，“我”并不知道他“喜欢（into）”儿歌，“我”只是想让他“安静下来（calm）”。

62. to。考查介词。thanks to 意为“由于，因为”。
63. creating。考查动词-ing形式作宾语的用法。设空处作介词for的宾语，故填creating。

Join us for the opening of the schools of
the future exhibition — event
The year is 2035. A group of schoolchildren heads over to a garden for lunch and, after the break, teachers send lessons into headsets (头戴式耳机) worn by students. The wearable tech is able to read body signals to make sure the child is concentrating (全神贯注) and can differentiate the lessons according to how their young charge is getting along. It can also send a full progress assessment (评估) to the teacher.
This is one picture of the future of school life, but how likely is it? Over the past five months, the Guardian Teacher Network has been exploring how schools might develop over the next twenty years and beyond. Our journalists have explored a series of topics from whether computers could replace teachers and how some libraries are breaking with tradition, to the rise of outdoor learning and the forest school revolution. One area that provides much food for thought is the future of school dinners. Journalist Matthew Jenkin has looked back at Jamie Oliver抯 campaign against Turkey Twizzlers, deciding that the next hot topics include mealtimes and foods.
We抮e now bringing these ideas to life in an exciting exhibition, supported by Zurich Municipal, held at our offices in London. It is free to attend. We抣l be hearing from Liz Sproat, the head of education for Google across Europe, Middle East and Africa.

The Red Bicycle is a storybook about a bicycle抯 journey from North America to the countryside in West Africa. The full name of the book is The Red Bicycle: The Extraordinary Story of One Ordinary Bicycle, and was written by Jude Isabella from Canada.
Leo wants a bike, not just any bike but a red one. He makes money by doing part-time jobs until he has enough money to buy it. He loves his new bike and names it Big Red.

But while she is gone, Big Red is destroyed by a pig. A worker from a hospital then takes Big Red, repairs it, and turns it into an ambulance (救护车). Then, a young woman, named Haridata, uses the bike to bring sick people to the hospital.

When my boss started talking about pension (退休金) arrangements, it suddenly dawned on me: I was going to be stuck working in an office job for the next 40 years. I’d always dreamed of working outdoors but I ended up doing a law degree at the University of the West of England in Bristol, thinking that this would bring me a better job.
After graduating, I became an adviser. I enjoyed the work, but knew it wasn抰 the right career for me. At this point, my 98-year-old grandma died, leaving me enough money to pay for an agricultural course. I decided to study agriculture at the Royal Agricultural College in Cirencester.
I loved the programme. I spent my holidays from milking cows to helping in farm shops. I spent time lambing (照料母羊产羔) on a beautiful hill farm in Wales. I’d get up at 5 am in the morning, go out to care for the lambs that had been born over night.
In my old job, getting up early to go to the office was a struggle. It’s easier on a farm, where you know there are animals that rely on you. They’re living things, and if you don’t turn up something serious might happen to them.
I’ve also been fortunate enough to find a job as industry communications manager with Red Tractor, the largest food assurance scheme (保障计划) in the UK. The role is very varied: one day I might talk at an agricultural show, educating children about where their food comes from; the next day I could be managing the design of the new food and farming standards.
My advice to anyone wanting a career change is to seize (抓住) the moment. To those interested in working in agriculture, try to get as much work experience as you can.
28. What does the underlined part “dawned on” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Hit. B. Moved. C. Excited. D. Satisfied.
29. What does the author think of her job on a farm?
A. Busy. B. Tiring. C. Difficult. D. Enjoyable.
30. What did the author do at Red Tractor?
A. She milked cows.
B. She helped in farm shops.
C. She took care of lambs on the farm.
D. She gave speeches on agriculture to children.
31. What is the author抯 advice to readers?
A. Work as a volunteer on a farm.
B. Make a career change as soon as possible.
C. Take the chance to do what you want to do.
D. Get enough work experience before looking for a job.

One theory is that kissing all began when cavemen began licking (舔) their neighbours’ faces for the salt on them. But whatever it might have been for, the fact remains that, in one form or another, kissing has been widespread, though it developed mostly in the West.
Ancient Greek and Roman parents kissed their children, and lovers or married people kissed each other, as did friends. In the Middle Ages (the period in European history between about 1100 and 1500 AD) knights kissed before doing battle. Early Christians were often kissed to express respect.
Kissing is very much a cultural practice, and rules and attitudes vary across the globe. The French, who have had quite a lot of kissing practice, have turned kissing into a fine social art, although these days, even they are not sure when or how to do it. Many French kiss one another three, or even more, times. It can sometimes go on for a long time. Italians are enthusiastic kissers at all times, and they have been for centuries. Arabic men greet one another with kisses, as do Arabic women. Russian men too are often seen greeting one another with kisses, and it is especially noticeable in the world of Russia, where the three-kiss greeting has become a social behavior. The British, though, remain shy about social kissing. The Japanese, along with many Asian peoples, consider kissing, at least in public, as a Western custom and sometimes even offensive (冒犯的). Kissing has, however, become more commonplace in some Asian countries in the past few years.
But kissing does seem to be on the increase. We kiss people we used to hug, we hug people we used to shake hands with, and we shake hands with those we used to nod to.
32. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. The importance of kissing.
B. Kissing in the Middle Ages.
C. Different reasons for kissing.
D. The early development of kissing.
33. What can we learn about kissing in France?
A. It influences other countries.
B. It seems a bit confusing.
C. It always changes.
D. It takes less time.
34. Where is social kissing least popular?
A. In Britain. B. In Russia.
C. In France. D. In Italy.
35. What does the underlined sentence try to say?
A. Kisses are more welcome than hugs.
B. People抯 manners are getting friendlier.
C. Kissing is a better way to show respect.
D. There are many different forms of greeting.

Ireland is known for many things — its rich history, green hills, and St. Patrick’s Day. Celebrated on March 17 every year, the holiday is well known in the early-20th century as a religious day. However, it is now widely recognized as a celebration of Irish and Irish-American culture with fun traditions that include hunting for leprechauns, enjoying beef, and wearing bright green clothing.
While St. Patrick抯 Day is one of Ireland抯 holidays, the clergyman (牧师), whose death day it marks, was from the west coast of modern-day England.
Though wearing green on St. Patrick’s Day is now the tradition, it was not the color of choice from the start. When the Order of St. Patrick was set up in the 1780s, the followers wore blue. Green was only used once it became associated with Irish nationalism in the 1790s and considered as a good representation of the country抯 green hills.
While most US cities hold a St. Patrick抯 Day parade, New York City, which began the tradition in 1762, hosts the biggest one. Though the Dublin, Ireland parade, which started in 1998, cannot match the impressive numbers, the city makes up for it with a week-long celebration which attracts over a million people. For the ninth year, over 300 of the world抯 landmarks will celebrate the occasion by turning green on March 17.
No celebration is complete without enjoying a traditional dish or two. For St. Patrick抯 Day, that means enjoying corned beef, cabbage, potatoes, and carrots as much as one likes. The tradition is believed to have come from early Irish immigrants (移民) to the United States, who were only able to afford meat once a week. As beef was the cheapest one, it became the meat of choice. However, don’t expect to see the Irish in Ireland dining on the same food! They ususally prefer bacon and lamb and would have most likely eaten pork and potatoes in the past.
1. What do we know about St. Patrick抯 Day?
A. It was started by St. Patrick.
B. It was first celebrated by hunters.
C. It is a religious and cultural celebration.
D. It is celebrated on St. Patrick抯 birthday.
2. Why do people wear green on St. Patrick抯 Day?
A. It is St. Patrick抯 favorite color.
B. It is related to Irish nationalism.
C. It was worn by followers in the beginning.
D. It represents the color of the natural scenery in England.
3. What can be learned about St. Patrick抯 Day from Paragraph 4?
A. It is well known worldwide.
B. It has a nine-year history in Dublin.
C. New York City has celebrated it since 1998.
D. Ireland held the biggest festival parade in 1762.
4. How do the Irish in Ireland celebrate St. Patrick抯 Day?
A. They eat pricy food.
B. They enjoy a one-meal day.
C. They enjoy bacon and lamb.
D. They eat the same food as Irish-Americans.
B
For all those who agree with Neil Gaiman抯 motto in American Gods that 揳 town isn抰 a town without a bookstore, what might be the perfect holiday choice has just been listed on Airbnb: the chance to become a bookseller for a week or two.
For the total cost of 150 a week, guests at The Open Book in Wigtown, Scotland抯 national book town, will be expected to sell books for 40 hours a week while living in the flat above the shop. Given training in bookselling from Wigtown抯 community of booksellers, they will also have the chance to put their 搊wn stamp on the store while they抮e there. 揟he Open Book抯 aim is to celebrate bookshops, encourage education in running independent bookshops and welcome people around the world to Scotland抯 national book town, says the Airbnb listing.
The Open Book is leased (出租) by the Wigtown Book Festival from a local family. Organisers have been letting paying volunteers run the shop for a week or two at a time, and opened the experience up to the world at large.
“I wouldn’t call it a working holiday,” said Adrian Turpin, director of the Wigtown Book Festival. “It’s not about cheap labour (体力劳动) — it’s about offering people an experience.” The money is “just necessary to cover our costs,” said Turpin, admitting that “it can be a hard life, selling books in a small town, so it抯 not a holiday for everybody.
揑 think the shop would have closed, without this, he said. 揝o part of the idea was to get new people in people who would hopefully end up having a good time and a long-standing relationship with the town.
The idea comes at a difficult moment for independent booksellers. In 2005, there were 1,535 independent bookshops in the UK, with the number dropping to 939 by 2014.
So far, The Open Book has been leased around 10 times, with guests including those from The Bookshop Band, a librarian from Portland, a Dutch government employee, and an 80-year-old couple.
揑t is playing shop in a way, but they are truly selling books, said Turpin. 揥igtown has only 800 people, but it抯 a real community of bookshop owners. The aim is that people come and take part in the community.
5. What does Airbnb offer?
A. Neil Gaiman抯 books.
B. Mottos of famous people.
C. A chance to run a bookstore.
D. A holiday trip to small towns.
6. What can be learned about The Open Book?
A. It costs 150 every day.
B. It aims to develop bookstores.
C. It offers a free flat for customers.
D. It requires booksellers with selling skills.
7. What抯 Adrian Turpin抯 opinion on the Wigtown Book Festival?
A. It抯 an awful experience.
B. It should raise its charges.
C. It has saved the bookstore.
D. It抯 a festival for everyone.
8. What抯 the present situation of The Open Book?
A. It faces a difficult time.
B. It attracts various people.
C. It has never been leased yet.
D. It has set up a community nearby.

书面表达
One possible version：
Libraries in twenty years will surely be different from what they are today.
First, instead of paper books, all books will be stored in the form of chips. You抣l get what you need by simply touching a large screen. Moreover, you will find several buttons on the screen, each of which performs a special function. For example, when you push a certain button, the content of the book will be presented in the form of a movie where you will enjoy it vividly. If you want to renew a book, you can input a code and immediately the book will appear on your mobile phone.
I believe such libraries will be a part of our life in twenty years.
