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(出借)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 targeted to 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.
(1)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

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

A.the kid to learn a new language
B.the parent to enjoy quiet reading

(4)Your local library can help you start a business by ______.
A.providing relevant information and supporting services
B.offering professional advice on business management
C.supplying useful information of your potential buyers
D.arranging meetings with government officials

??? "They tell me that you'd like to make a statue(塑像) of me-is that correct, Miss Vinnie Ream?"
??? The deep, gentle voice helped calm the nervous girl. Asking a favor of the President of the United States was no casual matter, especially for a seventeen-year-old girl.
??? "Yes, sir," she replied, her dark eyes meeting his. "I wouldn't have duo ask you, but my teacher, Mr. Mills, says I am ready. I plan to make it in an admirable manner. "
??? President Lincoln smiled. "Painters, sculptors-they've all tried to make the best of this ordinary face, but I'm afraid there's not much hope. What did you have in mind, Miss Ream? A bust(半身像)?"
??? Before Vinnie could say yes, the President hurried on, a shade of apology in his voice.
??? "Of course-I shouldn't have asked. A full-length pose would be much too big a project for a young woman your size. "
??? Vinnie's face turned red. She realized she looked like a child, with her tiny figure. "Small does not mean weak, sir," she defended herself. "I was born in the country of Wisconsin. I've driven teams of horses and carried water. Making a full-length clay(粘土) figure would not exhaust my strength-and that is what I intend to do!"
??? The President's eyes, brightened at her show of spirit. "Sorry, madam, I have underestimated you as I didn't know your background."
??? But his smile faded as he rubbed his beard with bony fingers, in thought. "Miss Ream," he sighed, "I'd like to let you do it, but as you know, we are in the middle of a war. How could I possibly take the time to pose for a sculpture now? I hardly have a minute to myself."
??? Vinnie glanced around and noted the size of his office. "I work quickly," she said. Her voice was soft but confident as she pointed to the corner near the windows. "If I were to bring my clay here and work for three hours every afternoon, I could complete most of the project while you are at your desk."
??? The President seemed to consider her idea seriously. He got up and shook Vinnie's hand warmly, "I've heard that you are a talented young woman, and I have found you charming and intelligent as well. I cannot make my decision immediately, but you will hear from me soon."

【考点】推理判断题,细节理解题,人物故事类,记叙文
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文,Vinnie Ream向林肯总统提出给他做一个全身雕像的请求,一开始林肯总统对此表示怀疑,在Vinnie的不断努力争取后,最终第二天Vinnie收到了林肯总统的邀请。
(1)考查细节理解。根据第三段中的“I wouldn't have dared to ask you, but my teacher, Mr. Mills, says I am ready. I plan to make it in an admirable manner. “我本来不敢问你,但我的老师Mills先生说我准备好了。我打算用一种令人钦佩的方式来做这件事。可知,Mills先生的话给了Vinnie向林肯总统提出要求的底气。故选B。
(2)考查推理判断。根据第五段中的“Of course- I shouldn't have asked. A full-length pose would be much too big a project for a young woman your size.”当然-我不应该问的。对于你这种身材的年轻女性来说,全身雕像太大了。可推知,林肯总统首先对Vinnie的请求表示怀疑。故选D。
(3)考查细节理解。根据第六段中的“I've driven teams of horses and carried water. Making a full-length clay figure would not exhaust my strength-and this is what I intend to do!”我赶过马队,提过水。做一个全身雕像不会耗尽我的力量-我还正想这样呢!可知,Vinnie通过强调她以前所做的繁重劳动,证实了她有能力制作一个全身雕像。故选C。
(4)考查推理判断。根据倒数第四段中的“‘Miss Ream,’ he sighed, ‘I'd like to let you do it, but as you know, we are in the middle of a war. How could I possibly take the time to pose for a sculpture now? I hardly have a minute to myself. ’“可知,总统提到自己没有时间摆姿势来让Vinnie做雕像;以及倒数第三段“Vinnie glanced around and noted the size of his office. ‘I work quickly,’ she said. Her voice was soft but confident as she pointed to the corner near the windows. ‘If I were to bring my clay here and work for three hours every afternoon, I could complete most of the project while you are at your desk.’”Vinnie环顾四周,注意到了他办公室的大小。“我干得很快,”她说。她指着靠近窗户的那个角落,声音柔和而自信。“如果我把我的粘土带到这里来,每天下午工作三个小时,我就可以在你办公的时候完成大部分的项目。”可推知,上文中总统提到自己没有时间摆姿势来让Vinnie做雕像,于是Vinnie想选择靠近窗户的角落,是为了避免干扰总统的工作。故选D。
(5)考查推理判断。纵观全文可知,本文讲述了Vinnie Ream向林肯总统提出给他做一个全身雕像的请求,一开始林肯总统对此表示怀疑,在Vinnie的不断努力争取后,最终第二天Vinnie收到了林肯总统的邀请。可推知,这个故事表达了意志坚强的人能达到目标的思想。故选A。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解和推理判断两个题型的考查,是一篇故事类阅读,考生需要准确捕捉细节信息,并根据上下文进行逻辑推理,从而选出正确答案。

??? For people, who are interested in sound, the field of sound technology is definitely making noise. In the past, sound engineers worked in the back rooms of recording studios, but many of today's sound professionals are sharing their knowledge and experience with professionals in other fields to create new products based on the phenomenon we call sound.
??? Sound can be used as a weapon. Imagine that a police officer is chasing a thief. The thief tries to escape. And the officer can't let him get away. He pulls out a special device, points it at the suspect, and switches it on. The thief drops to the ground. This new weapon is called a Long Range Acoustic Device(LRAD, 远程定向声波发射器). It produces a deafening sound so painful that it temporarily disables a person. The noise from the LRAD is directed like a ray of light and travels only into the ears of that person, but it is not deadly.
??? For those who hunger for some peace and quiet, sound can now create silence. Let's say you are at the airport, and the little boy on the seat next to you is humming(哼唱) a short commercial song. He hums it over and over again, and you are about to go crazy. Thanks to the Silence Machine, a British invention, you can get rid of the sound without upsetting the boy or his parents. One may wonder how the Silence Machine works. Well, it functions by analyzing the waves of the incoming sound and creating a second set of outgoing waves. The two sets of waves cancel each other out. Simply turn the machine or point it at the target, and your peace and quiet comes back.
??? Directed sound is a new technology that allows companies to use sound in much the same way spotlights(聚光灯) are used in the theater. A spotlight lights up only one section of a stage; similarly, "spotsound" creates a circle of sound in on targeted area. This can be useful for businesses such as restaurants and stores because it offers a new way to attract customers. Restaurants can offer a choice of music along with the various food choices on the menu, allowing customers more control over the atmosphere in which they are dining. Directed sound is also beginning to appear in shopping centers and even at homes.
(1)What could be inferred from Paragraph 2 about the effect of the LRAD?
A.It causes temporary hearing loss.
B.It slows down a running man.
C.It makes it easy to identify a suspect.
D.It keeps the suspect from hurting others.
(2)The Silence Machine is a device specially designed to ________.
A.silence the people around you
B.remove the sound of commercials
C.block the incoming sound waves
D.stop unwanted sound from affecting you
(3)What feature do spotsounds and spotlights share?
A.They travel in circles.
B.They clear the atmosphere.
C.They can be transformed into energy.
D.They can be directed onto a specific area.
(4)Directed sound can be used for ________.
A.creative designs of restaurant menus
B.ideal sound effects on the theater stage
C.different choices of music for businesses
D.strict control over any suspicious customer
(5)What does the passage focus on?
A.How professionals invented sound products.
B.Inventions in the field of sound technology.
C.The growing interest in the study of sound.
D.How sound engineers work in their studios.
【答案】 (1)A
(2)D

【考点】主旨大意题,推理判断题,细节理解题,科普环保类,说明文
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了一些声音技术领域的发明创造,包括声音可以用作武器的远程声学设备、用来阻止有害声音影响你的静音机以及定向音响技术。
(1)考查推理判断。根据第二段中的“It produces a deafening sound so painful that it temporarily disables a person. The noise from the LRAD is directed like a ray of light and travels only into the ears of that person, but it is not deadly.”它发出震耳欲聋的声音,这种声音令人如此痛苦以至于它会使人暂时丧失能力。LRAD发出的噪音像光线一样被引导,只进入那个人的耳朵,但不会致命。可推知,LRAD会导致暂时性听力损失。故选A。
(2)考查细节理解。根据第三段中的“Well, it functions by analyzing the waves of the incoming sound and creating a second set of outgoing waves. The two sets of waves cancel each other out. Simply turn the machine on point it at the target, and your peace and quiet comes back.”它的功能是通过分析传入声音的波,并产生第二组传出的波。这两组波会相互抵消。只要打开机器对准目标,你的宁静就会回来。可知,静音机是一种专门设计用来阻止有害声音影响你的设备。故选D。
(3)考查细节理解。根据最后一段中的“A spotlight lights up only one section of a stage; similarly, a ‘spotsound’ creates a circle of sound in one targeted area.”可知,聚光灯只能照亮舞台的一个部分;类似地,一个“spotsound”在一个目标区域创建一个声音圈。可知,spotsounds和聚光灯的共同特性是它们可以被定向到一个特定的区域,故选D。
(4)考查细节理解。根据最后一段中的“A spotlight lights up only one section of a stage; similarly,”spotsound” creates a circle of sound in on targeted area. This can be useful for businesses such as restaurants and stores because it offers a new way to attract customers. Restaurants can offer a choice of music along with the various food choice on the menu, allowing customers more control over the atmosphere in which they are dining.”聚光灯只能照亮舞台的一个部分;类似地,一个”spotsound”在一个目标区域创建一个声音圈。这对餐馆和商店等企业很有用,因为它提供了一种吸引顾客的新方式。餐厅可以提供音乐选择与菜单上的各种食物选择,让顾客更多地控制气氛,在他们用餐。可知,定向音响可以用于不同的商业音乐选择。故选C。
(5)考查主旨大意。根据第一段中的“In the past, sound engineers worked in the back rooms of recording studios, but many of today's sound professionals are sharing their knowledge and experience with professionals in other fields to create new products based on the phenomenon we call sound.”在过去,音响工程师在录音室的后室工作,但今天的许多音响专业人士正在与其他领域的专业人士分享他们的知识和经验,以我们所谓的声音现象为基础创造新产品。以及下文可知,本文着重论述了声音技术领域的发明创造。故选B。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解,推理判断和主旨大意三个题型的考查,是一篇科技类阅读,要求考生在捕捉细节信息的基础上,进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系,进行分析,推理,概括和归纳,从而选出正确答案。
20.阅读理解
??? After years of observing human nature, I have decided that two qualities make the difference between men of great achievement and men of average performance curiosity and discontent. I have never known an outstanding man who lacked either. And I have never known an average man who had both. The two belong together.
??? Together, these deep human urges (驱策力) count for much more that ambition. Galileo was not merely ambitious when he dropped objects of varying weights from the Leaning Tower at Pisa and timed their fall to the ground. Like Galileo, all the great names in history were curious and asked in discontent, "Why? Why? Why?"
Fortunately, curiosity and discontent don't have to be learned. We are born with them and need only recapture them.
??? "The great man," said Mencius (孟子), "is he who does not lose his child's heart." Yet most of us do lose it. We stop asking questions. We stop challenging custom. We just follow the crowd. And the crowd desires restful average. It encourages us to occupy our own little corner, to avoid foolish leaps into the dark, to be satisfied.
??? Most of us meet new people, and new ideas, with hesitation. But once having met and liked them, we think how terrible it would have been, had we missed the chance. We will probably have to force ourselves to waken our curiosity and discontent and keep them awake.
??? How should you start? Modestly, so as not to become discouraged. I think of one friend who couldn't arrange flowers to satisfy herself. She was curious about how the experts did it. How she is one of the experts, writing books on flower arrangement.
??? One way to begin is to answer your own excuses. You haven't any special ability? Most people don't; there are only a few geniuses. You haven't any time? That's good ?because it's always the people with no time who get things done. Harriet Stowe, mother of six, wrote parts of Uncle Tom's Cabin while cooking. You're too old? Remember that Thomas Costain was 57 when he published his first novel, and that Grandma Moses showed her first pictures when she was 78.
??? However you start, remember there is no better time to start than right now, for you'll never be more alive than you are at this moment.
(1)In writing Paragraph 1, the author aims to ________.
A.propose a definition
B.make a comparison
C.reach a conclusion
D.present an argument
(2)What does the example of Galileo tell us?
A.Trial and error leads to the finding of truth.
B.Scientists tend to be curious and ambitious.
C.Creativity results from challenging authority.
D.Greatness comes from a lasting desire to explore.
(3)What can you do to recapture curiosity and discontent?
A.Observe the unknown around you.
B.Develop a questioning mind.
C.Lead a life of adventure.
D.Follow the fashion.
(4)What can we learn from Paragraphs 6 and 7?
A.Gaining success helps you become an expert.
B.The genius tends to get things done creatively.
C.Lack of talent and time is no reason for taking no action.
D.You should remain modest when approaching perfection.
(5)What could be the best title or the passage?
A.Curious Minds Never Feel Contented
B.Reflections on Human Nature
C.The Keys to Achievement
D.Never Too Late to Learn
【答案】 (1)D
(2)D

【考点】主旨大意题,推理判断题,细节理解题,教育文化类,议论文
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文,论述了获得成就的两个关键因素——好奇心和不满足。
(1)考查推理判断。根据第一段“After years of observing human nature, I have decided that two qualities make the difference between men of great achievement and men of average performance curiosity and discontent. I have never known an outstanding man who lacked either. And I have never known an average man who had both. The two belong together.”可知作者经过多年对人性的观察,认为成就非凡的人和平庸的人的区别在于好奇心和不满足,而且两者是相辅相成的。因此,作者写第一段的目的是提出一个论点。故选D。
(2)考查推理判断。根据第二段中的“Like Galileo, all the great names in history were curious and asked in discontent, ‘Why? Why? Why?’”像伽利略一样,历史上所有的伟人都感到好奇,并不满地问:“为什么?为什么?为什么?”可推知,伽利略的例子告诉我们,伟大来自于持久的探索欲望。故选D。
(3)考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“Like Galileo, all the great names in history were curious and asked in discontent, ‘Why? Why? Why?’”像伽利略一样,历史上所有的伟人都感到好奇,并不满地问:“为什么?为什么?为什么?”;以及第四段中的“‘The great man,’ said Mencius (孟子), ‘is he who does not lose his child's heart.’ Yet most of us do lose it. We stop asking questions. We stop challenging custom. We just follow the crowd.”孟子认为“不失去孩子的心,就是伟大的人。”然而,我们大多数人确实失去了它。我们不再问问题。我们不再挑战习俗。我们只是随大流。可知,你可以通过培养了一个善于提问的头脑,来重新获得好奇心和不满。故选B。
(4)考查推理判断。根据第六段中的“How she is one of the experts, writing books on flower arrangement.”及第七段中的“You haven't any special ability? Most people don't; there are only a few geniuses. You haven't any time? That's good, because it's always the people with no time who get things done.”以及列举了Thomas Costain在57岁时出版了他的第一部小说,Grandma Moses在78岁时展示了她的第一批照片。可知,这两段想告诉我们“缺乏天赋和时间不是不采取行动的理由”。故选C。
(5)考查主旨大意。根据第一段“After years of observing human nature, I have decided that two qualities make the difference between men of great achievement and men of average performance curiosity and discontent. I have never known an outstanding man who lacked either. And I have never known an average man who had both. The two belong together.”及下文论述可知,本文主要论述了获得成就的两个关键因素——好奇心和不满足。故选C。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解,推理判断和主旨大意三个题型的考查,是一篇教育类阅读,要求考生在捕捉细节信息的基础上,进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系,进行分析,推理,概括和归纳,从而选出正确答案。
四、任务型阅读(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)(共1题;共10分)
21.阅读短文,按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
??? As any younger brother will tell you, having a big brother involves a lot of walking in someone else's shadow, especially when you have a brother who is a typical example of "cool". For years I wanted to do everything my elder brother Tyson did, but no matter how hard I tried, I was always the neglected (被忽略的) one. My legs just weren't made to run like his. I could never play football or basketball well.
??? I probably would have continued trying to keep up with him for the rest of my high school career, but when my family moved, everything changed. Tyson left for college, so I had to start at a new school all by myself. This new start gave me an opportunity to redefine myself and discover an entirely new version of "cool".
??? I don't know what made me decide to try some new activities at the new school, but one day I chanced to show up for an after-school meeting of the Science Olympiad team. I had always been fascinated with chemistry, biology, and math, but since those interests hadn't fit Tyson's definition of "cool", I had never pursued them. On this day, for some reason, I did.
??? As we organized teams, prepared resources and practiced answering questions, I felt more connected than I ever had to any sports team. I didn't feel as though I needed to keep up with anybody else; I was finally with peers who understood me. It was so good to feel accepted for what I'm good at. For the first time in my life, I actually felt cool. Now I know who I am! I'm Tyson's little brother, but that's only part of my identity. I'm a cool guy in my own way, too. I'm relieved to know that "cool" has a much broader definition than what I used to think.

【考点】阅读表达
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文,作者一直活在哥哥泰森的阴影下,他的哥哥很酷,所以他总是被忽略。但当哥哥离开去上大学,他独自开始学校生活时,通过加入学校的Science Olympiad,他找到了真正的自己,也按自己的理解重新定义了”酷”。
(1)考查词义猜测。根据第一段中的“As any younger brother will tell you, having a big brother involves a lot of walking in someone else's shadow, especially when you have a brother who is a typical example of "cool". For years I wanted to do everything my elder brother Tyson did, but no matter how hard I tried, I was always the neglected (被忽略的) one. ”.可知,就像任何一个弟弟会告诉你的那样,有一个大哥哥意味着走在别人的影子里,尤其是当你有一个很“酷”的哥哥时。多年以来,我想做我的哥哥泰森做的一切,但是无论我怎么努力,我总是被忽略的一个。根据句意,尤其是I was always the neglected one可推测,划线部分的意思是“得不到关注/被忽略”。故填:Receiving less attention than someone else. Or: Being/Feeling less successful than someone else. Or: Being/Feeling neglected.
(2)考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“but when my family moved, everything changed. Tyson left for college, so I had to start at a new school all by myself.”但当我们搬家时,一切都改变了。泰森去上大学了,所以我不得不独自在一个新的学校开始,可知,搬家后,作者的哥哥去上大学以及作者独自开始新学校的生活给了作者他新的开始。故填:That his brother left for college and he changed schools. Or: Tyson's leaving for college and the author's going to/attending a new school.
(3)考查细节理解。根据第三段中的“I had always been fascinated with chemistry, biology, and math, but since those interests hadn't fit Tyson's definition of 'cool ’, I had never pursued them. On this day, for some reason, I did.”我一直对化学、生物和数学着迷,但因为这些兴趣不符合泰森对“酷”的定义,所以我从来没有追求过。这一天,出于某种原因,我参加了)可知,参加Science Olympiad队是作者成长的转折点,因为他选择不再做哥哥的“影子”。故填:Joining the Science Olympiad team. Or: That he joined the Science Olympiad team. Or: Discovering his true interests (in science).
(4)考查段落大意。根据第四段中的“Now I know who I am! I'm Tyson's little brother, but that's only part of my identity. I'm a cool guy in my own way, too. I'm relieved to know that “cool” has a much broader definition than what I used to think.”现在我知道我是谁了!我是泰森的弟弟,但那只是我身份的一部分。按照我自的方式,我也是个很酷的人。知道酷的定义比我以前认为的要宽泛得多,我感到很欣慰。可知,本段主要讲述了作者找到了自己的身份以及自己对酷的定义。故填:(How) the author discovered a broader definition of "cool". Or: He has discovered his own way to be cool. Or: He found his own identity.
(5)考查开放性题目。只要回答出自己认为什么很酷,以及原因即可。故可填:Playing football well is cool because I can show how strong I am. Or: Playing the piano is cool because it can give me joy. Or: Helping the poor is cool because it can give them hope and bring me pleasure.
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解,词义猜测,段落大意和开放题目四个题型的考查,是一篇故事类阅读,要求考生在捕捉细节信息的基础上,进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系,进行分析,推理,概括和归纳,同时结合相关的词汇知识和语法知识,写出正确的答案。
