22、 From the age of eight, I was allowed to walk from my house to the local library. I started with Little House in the Big Woods. I was fascinated by the story and the peaceful atmosphere there.
But the local library’s collection paled in comparison to what was available to us at high school. There, I read novels written by the authors we were studying in class: Charles Dickens and Joseph Conrad, Mark Twain and Emily Brontë.
When I studied English literature at university, I dreamed of building my own library. And later, when I taught English at a high school, I continued to collect books. Toward the end of my teaching career, I became a teacher-librarian. This position reignited (重新点燃) my love and appreciation for how wonderful it is to be surrounded by books. I searched for books that would interest my teenage audience and hopefully spark a love of reading in them.
I quickly realized that the library wasn’t just a place to do research; students came for other reasons, as well. I noticed that some students lined up first thing in the morning, returned at break time and spent the whole lunch hour eating in a carrel (小书房). These were the loners who felt safer in the library than in the cafeteria where they could be bullied.
I noticed that students searched for books on specific topics instead of using computers: drugs, mental-health issues, etc. I realized that computer screens were too visible, so I bought more books on those topics.
I bought sofas and easy chairs. The conference room doubled as an art gallery and a meeting place for students to talk about ideas, play chess, and make posters for their clubs. The library became an inclusive public space, safe for everyone.
Whether libraries are located in schools or in communities, I believe libraries are vibrant (生机勃勃的) places that help us to adjust to the world, and their doors must be kept open to everyone—for free.
【1】The text is organized mainly _________.
A.by space.
B.by example.
C.by comparison.
D.by time.
【2】Which of the following view would the author most likely agree with?
A.School libraries are usually much better than local libraries.
B.Libraries are the best places where students can do research.
C.The attraction of libraries partly lies in their cosy atmosphere.
D.Students can learn more from books than from computers.
【3】What might be the best title for the text?
A.Safe in the Library.
B.My Dream Library.
C.Passion for Reading.
D.From a Lover to a Librarian.
23、The World Health Organization has for the first time expressed “cautions optimism” that the growth in new Ebola cases in West Africa may be slowing down.
Bruce Aylward, who is in charge of the WHO response to Ebola, said in Geneva that he was particularly encouraged by evidence of a downward trend in Liberia, one of the three worst-affected countries.
The WHO’s official total number of Ebola cases has reached 13.703—a big jump from the10,141 cases it reported four days ago. But Dr Aylward said that was mainly the result of the data being updated with old cases, rather than new cases arising.
“Do we feel confident that the response is now getting an upper hand on the virus? Yes, we are seeing a slowing rate of new cases, very definitely.” Dr Aylward said.
However, Dr Aylward also urged people not to celebrate prematurely over any apparent downturn in the epidemic(传染病). “I’m terrified that the information will be misinterpreted and people will think Ebola is under control.” he said.
Any reduction in the battle against the virus might lead to “an oscillating(震荡的)pattern where the disease moves up and down”.
The improvement in Liberia seems to be due to a combination of more treatment facilities, better contact tracing and safer burial practices, together leading to fewer new infections from Ebola patients.
In Sierra Leone the number of cases continues to increase in some areas. “We’re still seeing this thing burning quite hot in parts of Sierra Leone,” Dr Aylward said
Tracing the progress of individual patients, the WHO estimates an overall death rate of 70 percent, though people who receive treatment in a well-equipped clinic are slightly less likely to die. The WHO plans to set up 56 Ebola clinics with 4,700 beds in West Africa. Of these 15 clinics with 1,050 beds are already operational and another 22 clinics are expected to open during November.
Meanwhile, two former NATO(北约)secretaries-general and dozens of leading European politicians have urged the alliance to send troops, aircraft and ships to west Africa to help contain the Ebola crisis.
【1】In the first paragraph, “cautious optimism” probably refers to ________.
A. Ebola under control thanks to WHO’s caution
B. the decline of new Ebola cases though not defeated
C. celebrations on the downturn in Ebola in Liberia
D. More treatment and relief supplies to West Africa
【2】Why did Dr Aylward urge people not to celebrate prematurely?
A. Because celebrations may increases infections.
B. Because the pattern of the disease is up and down.
C. Because people may be misled to cease the battle.
D. Because we are getting an upper hand on the virus.
【3】Which of the following didn’t contribute to the improvement in Liberia?
A. better contact tracing B. more treatment facilities
C. safer burial practices D. data updated with old cases
【4】According to the text, “burning quite hot” means ________.
A. very severe B. extremely hot
C. on fire D. well received
24、Tempeh, a traditional soy product from Indonesia, is hailed as the country’s “gift to the world,” like kimchi from Korea or miso from Japan.
A stable, cheap source of protein in Indonesia for centuries, tempeh is a fermented (发酵的) food originating from the island of Java. It was discovered during tofu production when discarded soybean residue caught microbial spores from the air and grew certain whitish fungi around it. When this fermented residue (残渣) was found to be edible and tasty, people began producing it at home for daily consumption across the country. This has given rise to many variations in its flavor and texture throughout different Indonesian regions.
Tempeh is high in protein and low in fat, and contains a host of vitamins. In fact, it is the only reported plant-based source of vitamin B12. Apart from being able to help reduce cholesterol (胆固醇), increase bone density, and promote muscle recovery, tempeh has a lot of polyphenols that protect skin cells and slow down the aging process. Best of all, with the same protein quality as meat and the ability to take on many flavors and textures, tempeh is a great meat substitute —something the vegetarian and vegan communities have been quick in adopting.
In addition to its highly nutritional makeup, tempeh has diverse preparation possibilities. It can be served as a main course (usually in curries) or a side dish to be eaten with rice, as a deep-fried snack, or even blended into smoothies and healthy juices. Though not yet a popular food among international diners, you may find tempeh-substituted BLTs (bacon, lettuce, tomato sandwiches) in San Francisco as easily as you can find vegetarian burgers with tempeh patties in Bali.
For the people of Indonesia, tempeh is not just food but also has cultural value. With the Indonesian traditional fabric batik (蜡染) being recognized by UNESCO as “Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity,” tempeh has great potential for this honor as well.
【1】According to the passage, which of the following is true about tempeh?
A.It is mainly served as a side dish.
B.It is formed from fermented soybeans.
C.It is discarded when fungi grow around it.
D.It has the same nutritional benefits as kimchi.
【2】What aspects of tempeh are discussed in paragraphs 2 to 4?
A.Origin→nutrition→cuisine.
B.Origin→cuisine→marketing.
C.Cuisine→nutrition→marketing.
D.Distribution→cuisine→nutrition.
【3】Which of the following can be inferred from this passage?
A.Senior citizens will eat tempeh as vitamin supplement.
B.Tempeh will soon be more popular than kimchi or miso.
C.The nutrition of tempeh will be reduced with mass production.
D.Tempeh is likely to be recognized as an international cultural symbol.
【4】Which of the followings can be a suitable title of this passage?
A.Do You Know How Tempeh Is Made?
B.Tempeh: A Traditional Delicacy From Java.
C.Will Tempeh Be Popular Among Vegetarians?
D.Tempeh: The Cultural Heritage Of Indonesia.
