The library is one of the most popular places at a western university. Students turn to it for research, conversations about class, and many other services.

  Compared with Chinese libraries, college libraries, college libraries in the US and UK tent to offer more resources. A postgraduate at Yale University can borrow as many as 225 books at a time.

  In addition to borrowing books, there are online and electronic resources. These include a database search of popular and academic material, such as LexisNexis Academic, which offer items from newspapers and magazines.

  Although books and articles are the items that students ask for most frequently, some libraries provide audio and video recordings, maps and sheet music (活页乐谱). At some schools, teachers and tutors put electronic copies of their teaching PPTs on the library Web to give easier access for students.

  Another useful service in Western college libraries is the Interlibrary Loan. This allows a student at one school to borrow books from another school. The loan request is make through the student’s college library, which gets the book, gives it to the user, and arranges for its return.

  Technology has brought more services to students and has made libraries attractive. Some universities have services for students to send messages through the computer or mobile texts to ask the library staff for information.

  Earlier this year, Harvard University introduced a new Scan and Deliver service, allowing students to make requests for parts of books and articles. Requests made through the system are handled by library staff. The student receives and e-mail with an Internet link to the scanned pages. The service is free and all material comes within four days.

  It used to be that libraries didn’t allow food or drinks. But that rule is changing and many of them now contain a café so students can spend as much time as they want in the library.

  Actually, some US university libraries are now all-night affairs, or have at least one study room open all night.

  Life-changing disaster awaits the drunken driver. And he is proof.

  At just 18 years of age, he could be a classmate or a friend, and that familiarity adds to the power of his words. He has spoken to more than 2,500 high school students so far, and he has noticed their unusual silence.

  "A lot of teachers say, 'Don't drink,' but I'm not going to say that, because I know that students are going to do it," Nepola says. "I just say, 'Don't get in a car.' "

  One year ago, Nepola, having been with friends drinking, lost control of his car and was thrown into trees 20 feet away. He was found covered in blood, with many bones broken.

  At Hackensack University Medical Center, his skull was opened to relieve pressure on his brain. He was diagnosed with traumatic(创伤性)brain injury and remained in a coma(昏迷)and on life support for nearly three weeks.

  At Children's Specialized Hospital in New Brunswick, N.J. physical therapist Erin Leahy initially found Nepola unable to move the right side of his body. But by the end of his six-week stay, he was able to walk out of the building. Leahy called that an inspiration and a miracle.

  But Nepola's recovery is incomplete. Brain and muscular therapy has helped him regain movement in his right arm, but he still struggles with his right hand.

  In the process of recovery, Nepola has thought deeply about what happened and why, and decided to share his story. Encouraged by his trauma doctor, Sanjeev Kaul, he teamed with Gonzalez and began attending assemblies in April.

  He said he was nervous at first, but has grown used to the spotlight. And his rehabilitation(康复)and visible trauma help him draw serious attention from students.

  Besides, "I'm not a wall," he said. "I feel like I know how to talk to people."

  Driving drunk, he tells students, is like playing Russian roulette(俄罗斯轮盘赌博): "You might do it a bunch of times, but something is going to happen."

  Now, his days are all about the therapy, work and going to the gym. Mentally, he says, "I’m a lot happier in my life."

1.The main purpose of the text is to ______.

 A. tell readers about the dangers of driving a car

 B. warn students about the dangers of drinking

 C. tell readers about Michael Nepola’s recovery experience

 D. advise people not to drive a car after drinking

2.As a eighteen year old boy, Nepola story is powerful because ______.

 A. his family supported him

 B. his classmate and friend never gave up him

 C. his classmate and friend are familiar with him

 D. he is just like one classmate or friend we know

3.What does the underlined sentence mean?

 A. A drunk driver will eventually have a serious accident.

 B. Drunk driving is as risky as it is excited.

 C. Drunk driving can be fun if the driver is experienced.

 D. An experienced driver can drive drunk successfully.

4.After the accident, Michael Nepola came to ______.

 A. make a full recovery

 B. recover at a magical speed

 C. be eager for more adventure

 D. enjoy life more despite his physical condition

5.What can we infer from the article?

 A. Michael Nepola believes his accident was the result of bad luck.

 B. Michael Nepola thinks that students shouldn’t get drunk.

 C. Michael Nepola wants to warn young people about the dangers of drunk driving.

 D. Michael Nepola still doesn’t care about his future or college.

 

 

  Grandma Moses is among the most famous twentieth-century painters of the United States, yet she did not start painting until she was in her late seventies. As she once said to herself: " I would never sit back in a rocking chair, waiting for someone to help me." No one could have had a more productive old age.

  She was born Anna Mary Robertson on a farm in New York State, one of five boys and five girls. At twelve she left home and was in domestic service until, at twenty—seven, she married Thomas Moses, the hired hand of one of her employers. They farmed most of their lives, first in Virginia and then in New York State, at Eagle Bridge. She had ten children, of whom five survived; her husband died in 1927.

  Grandma Moses painted a little as a child and made embroidery (刺绣) pictures as a hobby, but only changed to oils in old age because her hands had become too stiff to sew and she wanted to keep busy and pass the time. Her pictures were first sold at the local drugstore and at a market and were soon noticed by a businessman who bought everything she painted. Three of the pictures exhibited in the Museum of Modern Art, and in 1940 she had her first exhibition in New York. Between the 1930's and her death, she produced some 2,000 pictures: detailed and lively portrayals of the country life she had known for so long, with a wonderful sense of color and form. "I think really hard till I think of something really pretty, and then I paint it" she said.

1.According to the passage, Grandma Moses began to paint because she wanted to_______.

 A. make herself beautiful              

 B. keep active

 C. earn more money                  

 D. become famous

2.Grandma Moses spent most of her life ________.

 A. nursing         B. painting        C. embroidering    D. farming

3.The underlined word “portrayals ” means ________.

 A. descriptions    B. expressions      C.explanations     D.impressions

4.From Grandma Moses' description of herself in the first paragraph, it can be inferred that she

  was ________.

 A. independent    B. pretty            C. rich            D. nervous

5.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

 A. Grandma Moses: Her Life and Pictures.

 C. Grandma Moses: Her Best Exhibition.     

 D.Grandma Moses and Other Older Artists.

Mobile phones should be banned from cars altogether, according to Dr Hole, senior lecturer in psychology, Dr Hole has emphasized the worrying combination of mobile phones and cars in his new book, The Psychology of Driving.

Mobile phones, fatigue(疲劳), eyesight, drugs and age are among the issues considered by Dr Hole as he examines the factors that influence on driving. The book explores the role of each of these elements in increasing the chances of an accident and was inspired by the author’s conversations with road safety experts across the country.

He says: “The government should have banned mobile phones in cars altogether. It has sent out the wrong message by forbidding hand-held phones because this gives the impression that hands-free phones are safe. The problem with mobile phones is not vehicular(车辆的)control and only having one hand on the wheel, but rather it is taking away attention from what is happening outside the car.”  

Myths(荒诞的说法)about older people making worse drivers and claims(说法)about an improved reaction time among younger people are explored in the book. Questions about how drivers decide what to attend to while driving, the role of a driver’s expectations in determining what they see and how they respond to the road are among the areas covered in the book. Satellite navigation systems and new design aimed at transforming cars into a mobile office, are among the modern developments which he says now compete for driver’s attention behind the wheel.

Dr Hole says: “We need to be very careful about how we go about handling modern technology in cars, because we are opening a Pandora’s Box. When anyone is driving there is a lot of information outside the car and if there is too much going on inside, then there is a danger of overloading the driver.”

1.Dr Hole’s strong belief that mobile phones should be banned from cars lies in      .    

  A. the inconvenience of having only one hand on the wheel caused by mobile phones

  B. the correct message of getting rid of hand-held phones sent out by the government

  C. the increase of chances of accidents

  D. the advice given by some road safety experts

2.Which of the following is not included in his book?

  A. Hand-free phones are safer than hand-held phones.

  B. What drivers have to attend to while driving.

  C. Whether older age and slower reaction is related.

  D. Bad eyesight is one of the factors of causing an accident.

3.Which of the following is true?  

  A. Older people are better at preventing accidents.

  B. younger drivers’ reaction time is relatively shorter.

  C. It is a myth that some old people can still drive.

  D. A driver’s expectations are not covered in the book.

4.What can we know from the underlined sentence?

  A. What is going on outside is of equal importance to what inside.

  B. Modern developments call for drivers’ attention behind the wheel.

  C. Satellite navigation systems require more cars as mobile offices.

  D. Modern technology is responsible for the distraction(分心)of one’s attention while driving.

 

 

I told my friend Graham that I often cycle two miles from my house to the town centre but unfortunately there is a big hill on the route.He replied,“You mean fortunately.”He explained that I should be glad of the extra exercise that the hill provided.

    My attitude to the hill has now changed.I used to grumble as I approached it but now I tell myself the following.This hill will exercise my heart and lungs.It will help me to lose weight and get fit.It will mean that I live longer.This hill is my friend.Finally I comfort myself with the thought of all those silly people who pay money to go to a gym and sit on stationery exercise bicycles when I call get the same value for free.I have a smile of satisfaction as I reach the top of the hill.

    Problems are there to be faced and overcome.We cannot achieve anything with an easy life.Helen Keller was the first deaf and blind person to gain a university degree.Her activism and writing proved inspirational.She wrote,“Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet.Only through experiences of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened,vision cleared,ambition inspired and success achieved.”       

   One of the main determinants of success in life is our attitude towards adversity(逆境).From time to time we all face hardships,problems.accidents、afflictions and difficulties.Some are of our making but many confront us through no fault of our own.While we cannot choose the adversity we can choose our attitude towards it.

    Douglas Bader was 21 when in 193l he had both legs cut off following a flying accident.He was deter-mined to fly again and went on to become one of the leading flying aces in the Battle of Britain with 22 aerial victories over the Germans.He was an inspiration to others during the war.He said,“Don't listen to any-one who tells you that you can’t do this or that.That's nonsense.Make up your mind,you'll never use crutches(拐杖)or a stick,then have a go at everything.Go to school,join in all the games you can.Go anywhere you want to.But never,never let them persuade you that things are too difficult or impossible.”  

    The biographies(传记)of great people are full of examples of how they took steps to overcome the difficulties they faced.The common thread is that they did not become depressed.They chose their attitude.They chose to be positive.They took on the challenge.They won.

Nevertheless.there is still the problem of how you change your attitude towards adversity.

1.Which of the following is true according to the author of the passage?

A.Climbing hills on bicycles is the best way to take exercise.

B.People are silly to pay to go to the gym.

  C.Those who want to achieve success can't expect to live all easy lire.

  D.People's attitude towards adversity is the only factor that determines whether they will succeed.

2.By quoting what Douglas Bader said,the author intends to tell us“             .”

A.Failure is the mother of Success.   

B.A fall into the pit,a gain in your wit.  

C.If you venture nothing,you will have nothing. 

D.Nothing is difficult to the man who will try.

3.Following this passage,the author will further talk about         .  

  A.how his friend helped him to change his attitude towards the adversity he faced

  B.what steps to take to change your attitude towards the adversity you face

  C.what great people have in common

D.why it is important to keep optimistic in face of adversity

4.Which of the following can best function as the title of the passage?

A.Face adversity with a smile                B.Different attitudes towards adversity

C.Nothing is impossible                      D.Life is full of adversity

 

 

    Australians have been warned they face a life or death decision over their water—drink recycled sewage(污水)or die.

   With the drought(干旱)continuing,the country is set to be forced to use purified(净化的)waste water for drinking.even though there is great opposition to the measure.

    Queensland has become the first state to introduce tile policy after a warning from its premier.

“I think in the end,because of the drought,all of Australia is going to end up drinking recycled purified water.”said Peter Beattie.

    “These are difficult decisions,but you either drink water or you die.There’s no choice.It’s liquid gold.It’s a matter of life and death.”  

    Beanie said Australia's second largest state would become the first to use recycled water for drinking.

    Water is recycled in Britain and pans of northern Europe along with the US and Israel.

    But Australians have never liked the idea.

    To try to change the way Australians think,Prime Minister.John Howard and Environment Minister Malcolm Turnbull have adhered to Queensland’s move.

   “I am very strongly for recycling and Mr.Beattie is right and I agree with him completely.”Howard said.

   “Australian cities.all now facing water shortages because of the worst drought on record.must start to use recycled water.”added Turnbull.“All of our big cities have to widen tile range of water sources to include sources which are not dependent on rainfall.”

1.According to the passage,which of the following is TRUE?  

A.Nobody disagrees to the idea of drinking recycled purified water

B.Australia’s second largest state has become tile first state to introduce the policy

C.No other countries but Australia decide to drink recycled water

D.The drought is tile worst one in tile droughts recorded in Australian history.

2.What call we learn from the last paragraph?

  A.Australians have never like drinking purified waste water

  B.Australians should develop more water sources to live through the hard time

  C.Australians can’t depend upon rainwater,which is not suitable for drinking.

  D.Australian government has no ability to solve the problem of water shortage

3.The underlined phrase“adhered to”in Paragraph 9 probably means  

  A.disliked           B.gone against         C.supported        D.doubted

4.It can be inferred from what Premier Peter Beattie said that

A.he gives orders to drink purified waste water

B.It is painful for him to see his people drink recycled sewage

C.If the decision is made,people won’t survive the drought

D.It’s up to you to either make a life or death decision

Smoking is habit that’s closely linked to certain times and places. If you break these links, you can break the habit. The best way of doing this is to avoid the situations where you want a cigarette. If you can’t avoid them, then you will have to fight off the temptation(诱惑). Sit down and think about when and where you usually have a cigarette. For example, do you always have one after breakfast? After other meals? In breaks at work? When you are watching television? With friends in the pub? Once you stop smoking, these times and places are going to be the danger spots. So work out how you are going to deal with them.

It will also help if you can make new habits to break the old one of smoking. So plan some new activities to replace smoking-things to draw away your attention, things to do with your hands, and different ways to deal with tensions.

Some people find it helps if they cut down on cigarettes before they actually give up. It’s one way of preparing for the day you stop for good. But don’t look on cutting down as an alternative to giving up, and don’t do it for more than a couple of weeks at the very most. The danger is that you go back to smoking more than you did before.
