5．When we talk about a library，we may think of shelves and shelves lined with books．But a new library set to open this fall in Texas won't have any books----at least not the kind you can leaf through．．
There will be 10，000 digital books available for loan（借出）in the BiblioTech library in Bexar County，Texas．About 1.7 million county residents will be able to check out the books online without leaving their homes．The library will also provide 100 e-readers for people to borrow．In the library，people can work，study and access the Internet using dozens of computer stations．
"We wanted to find a cheap，effective way to bring reading and learning to the county and also focus on the change in the world of technology，"Bexar County Judge Nelson Wolff，the man who started the project，told reporters．
Digital-only academic libraries already exist in the US．The University of Texas at San Antonio opened the first in 2010，and officials say it's been a success．Many public libraries even offer digital books in addition to paper copies．But Biblio Tech will be the country's first completely paperless public library system．Tucson，Arizona，and Newport Beach，California，attempted to open bookless public libraries in 2002 and 2011，respectively，but both ended up offering paper books after public outcry．
However，Residents of Tucson and Newport Beach lived close to libraries and could easily get to them．Many areas of Bexar County，on the other hand，lack public libraries，so residents don't have easy access to books．Wolff hopes Biblio Tech will solvethat problem．
Critics argue against digital-only libraries，saying many people prefer to see and hold actual books．Some say books with pictures，such as children's books and how-to books，work better than digital books．Others say people who aren't comfortable with technology won't be able to use the paperless libraries．They also point out that many digital books are not available for libraries to purchase for their collections．
But supporters of digital libraries say these institutions will make books available to more people，like the residents of Bexar County．Wolff himself，who collects print books，says he doesn't intend paperless libraries to replace traditional ones，but to exist alongside them．"People are always going to want books，"he says．"But the world is changing．"
71．Wolff hopes to open more paperless libraries across the country，if Biblio Tech succeeds．What do we know about the Biblio Tech library？C
A．The first 10，000 people can read the digital books for free．
B．It will provide about 1.7 million digital books for the readers．
C．People can read the digital books at the library or at home．
D．It won't provide the loan service for people out of Texas）
72．From Paragraph 4，we can infer thatC．
A．Officials in the US helped build the digital-only academic libraries．
B．The first digital-only academic library opened in 2002 in the US
C．Other attempts at opening digital-only public libraries have failed．
D．The University of Texas once tried to open a bookless public library．
73．What does the underlined part"that problem"in Paragraph 5 refer to？A
A．People in Bexar County can't read books easily．

c．Some people aren't good at using the Internet．d．The prices of some digital books are too high．
 A．a(chǎn)bd                B．a(chǎn)bc                C．a(chǎn)cd                  D．bcd
75．From what Wolff said in Paragraph 7，we learn thatD．
A．The future of print books is controlled by readers   
B．Digital books will take the place of print ones soon
C．People will lose their interest in reading books in the future

分析 本文講述在Bexar郡建立第一個(gè)無(wú)紙化圖書館：Biblio Tech圖書館，當(dāng)?shù)鼐用窨梢栽诰W(wǎng)上借書． 美國(guó)其他地方也有過(guò)數(shù)字圖書館，大多因民眾抗議而失敗
．開辦者Wolff想要Bexar居民能容易地讀書，他認(rèn)為數(shù)字圖書館應(yīng)與傳統(tǒng)的并存．

解答 CCABD
71．C  細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第二段第二句"About 1.7 million county residents will be able to check out the books online without leaving their homes"居民能夠網(wǎng)上借書不用離開家可知Bibio Tech圖書館可以讓人們即可在圖書館看電子書也可在家看電子書．故選C．
72．C   細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第四段最后一句"Tucson，Arizona，and Newport Beach，California，attempted to open bookless public libraries in 2002 and 2011，respectively，but both endedup offering paper books after public outcry．"圖森、亞利桑那…嘗試開辦無(wú)紙化圖書館，但由于民眾抗議最終還是提供紙張書，可知這些開辦僅數(shù)字化的圖書館失敗了．故選C．
73．A   細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)前一句"Many areas of Bexar County，on the other hand，lack public libraries，so residents don't have easy access to books．"，許多Bexar地區(qū)的人缺少公共圖書館，居民不容易得到書，可知that problem就是指Bexar居民不能容易地讀書．故選A．
74．B   細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段"saying many people prefer to see and hold actual books．Some say books with pictures，such as children's books and how-to books，work better than digital books．Others say people who aren't comfortable with technology won't be able to use the paperless libraries．"可知，反對(duì)數(shù)字化的圖書理由有：更喜歡實(shí)在的書；有圖片的書更好；不會(huì)用電腦．故選B．
75  D  細(xì)節(jié)理解題． 根據(jù)第七段第二句"he doesn't intent paperless libraries to replace traditional ones，but to exist alongside them．"可知，傳統(tǒng)圖書館將會(huì)與電子圖書館并存．D項(xiàng)符合文意．A、C項(xiàng)段中未涉及，B項(xiàng)與原文相悖．故正確答案為D．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 考察學(xué)生的細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力，做細(xì)節(jié)理解題時(shí)一定要找到文章中的原句，和題干進(jìn)行比較，再做出正確的選擇．在做推理判斷題不要以個(gè)人的主觀想象代替文章的事實(shí)，要根據(jù)文章事實(shí)進(jìn)行合乎邏輯的推理判斷．

15．Whenever I see anyone buying a National Lottery ticket，I want to stop them and ask if they know just where their money is going．
The lottery money is supposed to go to charity，but it makes me angry to see some of the so-called"good causes"that it's being used to support．Also，Camelot，the organizers，have made a profit of￡10.8million in five months．We hear that a lot of that money is boosting（increasing） the pay packets of the company's bosses．
For the past 10years I've been helping to raise funds for a cancer research charity called Tenovus．My husband，Sandy，died from cancer 11years ago when he was only 51．There's been a long line of deaths in our family through cancer and it's been destructive．I've also lost two sisters-in-law，my brother，Michael，my father-in-law and my father．That's apart from several close friends
The charity is 50years old now and raises money mainly for breast cancer research．It also runs a support line for the families of cancer sufferers．Our local group raises￡3million and half that money came from sales of our own lottery tickets at supermarkets．But our income has dropped by half since the National Lottery was introduced．
I'm not against people playing the National Lottery，but they should think about what they're doing．The chances of winning the cumulative amount of money are so small； they might as well throw their money away．The Government tells us that the proceeds （收益）are going to things like the arts and sports，but what about the National Health Service？They should give some cash to that，too．How can they justify spending ridiculous amounts of cash on so-called works of art like display of potatoes or buying up Winston Churchill's papers at a cost of￡12million？
So who really are the winners in the National Lottery？When I think of all that money people could be donating to cancer research，I could weep．It's time people realized how charities across the country are suffering because of the National Lottery．It's disappointing and so frustrating．

66．The reason why the writer raises funds for cancer research is thatC．
A．she herself is suffering from cancer    
B．the cancer is the most frightening disease
C．a(chǎn) number of her relatives died of cancer
D．some cancer research needs more money that other research
67．In this text the writer is expressingA．
A．her personal opinions               
B．the opinions of the general sufferers

D．some ideas of fund-raising
68．The organization"Tenovus"isB．
A．run by a group of people in the writer's town
B．a(chǎn) charity organization which has some local groups
C．set up to collect money for people who lose their relatives
D．set up to assist the National Lottery
69．The writer seems to hope thatC．
A．people will spend more money on the National Lottery
B．people will give more money to charity
C．most of the lottery money will go to charity
D．most of the lottery money will be used for cancer research
70．What's the writer's attitude toward the National Lottery？B
A．The writer is enthusiastically supporting the National Lottery．
B．The writer has objections to the National Lottery．

10．We often see wind-horse flags in Tibetan areas．They are long cloths on which pictures of horses and scriptures（經(jīng)文）are printed．People often put these flags on top of houses，or leave them where a vehicle accident happened．They prevent evil spirits from injuring people again．
    A wind-horse flag can be white，yellow，red，green or blue．These five colors symbolize the five elements that form the world； earth，water，fire，wind and sky．Another explanations that red is the sun，green is the grassland，yellow is the earth，blue is the sky，and white is the cloud．
    The wind-horse flag originated with a monk who obtained a scripture from India．When he crossed a river，he carelessly dropped the scripture into the water．He quickly saved the scripture and spread it out on a big rock to dry as he sat in meditation（默想）．Suddenly violent thunder sounded like drums．The monk felt liberated（解放的）from all of his sadness，and when he opened his eyes he saw that the scripture had been blown into the sky by a strong wind．Finally，he went straight to heaven．
In order to honor the spirit of the monk and the Buddhist scripture，people printed the scripture on a piece of cloth and hung it up between the sky and the earth as though the scripture was flying in the sky．
    We also know why people put the wind-horse flag on the top of mountains and houses．The Tibetan ancestors had a very great idea about chanting scripture．They thought people not only could chant scripture，but also the five elements．The wind-home flag is a good example of how they use the wind to blow the flag，which means that the wind also chants scripture．
60．The second paragraph is mainly about the wind-horse flag'sA．
A．colors         B．styles            C．materials         D．functions
61．What happened when the monk meditated？B

D．a(chǎn) vehicle accident

B．The wind-house flags can be nearer to the sky．
C．People can see the wind-house flags more clearly．

15．While many Chinese overseas artists are switching to other more profitable fields，Huang Shanye，a painter of the Zhuang ethnic group，stands out as an exception．His art has gradually earned him fame over the course of his more than 20 years in the United States．He was even able to leave behind his steady job as an art teacher and fully devote himself to what he describes as a pursuit（追求） of beauty．
The common theme of Huang's many works lies in the combination of traditional Chinese elements and Western painting techniques．"I apply Chinese calligraphy（書法），paper cutting，facial makeup of Peking Opera--all the things that I can find in traditional Chinese culture--to Western oil painting，"Huang said at an exhibition held recently in his home county of Montgomery，Maryland in the US，where friends and neighbors had come to view some of his work．
One of Huang's works in the show，which had been featured on the exhibition's flier（廣告?zhèn)鲉危�，served as a good example．Titled In Harmony，the painting shows two green dragons facing one another on a golden plate--a characteristic of Chinese tradition．Huang decorated the surface with the words"peace"and"dragon"，both in Chinese and in English．Michele Cohen，director of the Betty Mae Kramer Gallery，pointing to Huang's In Harmony，says："I think this work really shows how an artist can combine one tradition with another，and it really comes out in a mixed form．"
In 1998，American composer Silas Huff met Huang at an exhibition and was moved by Huang's sketch Tapestry of Dreams，which was later realized into a large-scale work consisting of a dozen 1-by-1-meter panels of paintings describing the traditions and longings of Huang's people．
Inspired by the work，Huff composed a 25-minute symphony（交響樂），Spring Song Festival，made up of Chinese folk melodies．Ten years later when Huff and Huang reconnected，Huff was able to bring two ballet schools on board and create a ballet based on the symphony．The work was performed at LaGuardia Performing Art Center in New York in the spring of 2009，with Huang's Tapestry of Dreams as a background．
