Libraries have been some of the world’s greatest institutions of knowledge for thousands of years. Here, let’s know some of the world’s famous libraries.
Morgan Library & Museum
This library was formed in 1906 to hold the collection of the banker J. P. Morgan. Items of special prominence (突出) in Morgan’s collection include original manuscripts, works by Sir Walter Scott, and drawings by masterful artists like Picasso and Michelangelo. The library was made a public institution in 1924 by J. P. Morgan’s son John Pierpont Morgan Jr.
Bodleian Library
Established in 1602, Bodleian, the main research library of the University of Oxford, is one of the oldest libraries in Europe, housing many individual printed books, like the rare first edition of Don Quixote, and the first modern novel (1604).
Shanghai Library
Shanghai Library is China’s largest public library with a collection of more than 50 million items. It merged (合并) with the Institute of Scientific and Technical Information of Shanghai in 1995, becoming the first library in China to offer extensive research functions.
National Library of China
This library was initially founded as the Imperial Peking Library in 1909 and renamed the National Library of China (NLC) in 1999. With over 41 million items by December 2020, it is not only the country’s main collection for the nation’s publications, but also is China’s national museum of ancient books. It’s reported that this library has about 280,000 volumes of rare books, which include over 1,600 rare works from the Song and Yuan Dynasties.
1. What made Morgan Library & Museum a public institution?
A. The request of the public.
B. J. P. Morgan’s decision in 1906.
C. The collection of valuable items.
D. John Pierpont Morgan Jr.’s efforts.
2. Which library best suits people interested in scientific material?
A. Bodleian Library. B. Shanghai Library.
C. National Library of China. D. Morgan Library & Museum.
3. What do we know about National Library of China?
A. It houses numerous rare books from ancient times.

What could driving a race car and pointing a camera at the Milky Way have in common? More than you might imagine. Race car driver Bubba Wallace and photographer Batak Tefreshi journeyed together to remote Gooseberry Mesa for an adventure aiming to capture the night sky.
Gooseberry Mesa, far from population centers, is protected from the night-time artificial light, making it perfect for star photographers. Nature night environments such as this are rare.
Camping, hiking, and shooting stars in mountainous Mesa highlight the similarity between photography and racing. Bubba notes, “Once you fire up the engine there’s no turning back—I know I’ll be in that seat for more than three hours.” Batak agrees, “I have the same feeling as soon as I touch the wheel of my camera—I’m ready to continue through the entire night.” For Bubba, developing patience allowed him to mature as a driver and is equally essential to his photography.
Seizing the moment is crucial too. “Every minute things are changing—the Earth’s shadow, the moonlight, the rise of stars,” Batak explains. “If you lose the moment, it’s gone forever.” Bubba finds the physical and mental demands of racing as crucial when travelling in Utah’s rugged landscapes under freezing temperatures.
Think incoming clouds, wind, or mist will ruin your chance at a perfect shot? According to Batak, “With wide-angle nightscapes every unexpected weather condition can be an opportunity. Our photos show oranges and blues around the moon you wouldn’t see under a clear sky.”
The team discovered shared interests that go beyond photography. “We’re both passionate about bringing cultures together and using our work to break down boundaries,” says Batak.“The night sky has a unifying power. The sky connects the whole world under one umbrella.”
4. Why is Gooseberry Mesa an ideal destination for star photographers?
A. It’s a popular tourist spot.
B. It’s located near a large city.
C. It’s free from light pollution.
D. It’s easily accessible to a race car.
5. In what way is photography similar to racing according to the text?
A. They require patience and timing.
B. They depend on advanced equipment.
C. They involve travelling to remote places.
D. They simply need to meet physical challenges.
6. What does Batak Tefreshi think of unexpected weather conditions?
A They make the night sky inviting.
B. They are obstacles to be overcome.
C. They are chances for better pictures.
D. They stop him from touching the wheel.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Passion for Discovering Cultures
B. Journey to Shooting the Night Sky
C. Advocacy of Environmental Protection
D. Charm of the Night Sky in Gooseberry Mesa
C
Mom always said, “Choose your friends wisely.” Now a study led by a Rutgers Health professor shows she was onto something: Their personality traits can affect you—especially ones that are in their genes.
The genetic make-up of adolescent peers may have long-term consequences for individual risk of drug and alcohol use disorders, depression and anxiety, the groundbreaking study has found. “What our data illustrates is the long reach of social genetic effects,” said Jessica E. Salvatore, an associate professor of psychiatry at the Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School and lead author of the study published in the American Journal of Psychiatry.
Socio-genomics—the influence of one person’s genotype on the observable traits of another—is an emerging field of genomics. Previous research suggested that peers’ genetic make-up might influence health outcomes of their friends. To test this, Salvatore and her colleagues used Swedish national data to assess peer social genetic effects for several mental disorders.
With an anonymized (匿名的) database of more than 1.5 million individuals born in Sweden between 1980 and 1998 to Swedish-born parents, the first step was to map individuals by location and by school during their teenage years. The researchers then used medical, pharmacy and legal registries documenting substance use and mental health disorders for the same individuals in adulthood.
Having controlled factors such as the target individuals’ own genetic tendencies and family socio-economic factors, the researchers still found a clear association between peers’ genetic tendencies and target individuals’ likelihood of developing a substance use or mental disorder. The impacts were stronger among school-based peers than geographically defined peers.
Salvatore said more research is needed to understand why these connections exist. But what is clear, she said, is that the findings count for interventions. “If we want to think about how to best address these socially costly disorders, we need to think more about network-based and social interventions,” she said.
This research also underlines the importance of disrupting processes and risks that extend for at least a decade after attendance in school, Salvatore added. “Peer genetic influences have a very long reach,” she said.
8. What does the data of Salvatore’s research show?
A. You should listen to your parent’s advice.
B. Peers are to blame for your mental diseases.
C. Peers’ make-up is the most influential factor.
D. Peers’ personality will affect you in the long run.
9. Why did Salvatore and her colleagues conduct the research?
A. They were concerned with health outcomes of adolescents.
B. They accessed an anonymized database of peers’ influence.
C. They worried about severe cases of peers’ mental disorders.
D. They intended to check former research on socio-genomics.
10. What can we learn from paragraph 5?
A. Target individuals were easily affected in the school.
B. Family socio-economic factors made for the findings.
C. Genetic make-up had nothing to do with mental disorder.
D. Target individuals were unlikely to suffer substance uses.
11. What is Salvatore’s suggestion on interventions?
A. Letting go of social genetic effects after 10 years.
B. Digging into why school-based connections exist.
C. Persisting in the removal of the negative influence.
D. Highlighting the risks that would extend for a long time.
D
The world is already facing natural disasters of epic proportions as temperatures rise. The only known method able to quickly arrest this temperature rise is climate engineering, which is a set of proposed actions to deliberately alter the climate.
These actions include imitating the cooling effects of large volcanic eruptions by putting large amounts of reflective particles (微粒) in the atmosphere, or making low clouds over the ocean brighter. Both strategies would reflect a small amount of sunlight back to space to cool the planet.
There are many unanswered questions, however, about the effects of intentionally altering the climate. One of the largest concerns for many countries is national security. That doesn’t just mean wars; risks to food, energy and water supplies are national security issues.
Besides, a climate engineering project in one country is likely to affect temperature and rainfall in neighboring countries. That could be good or bad for crops, water supplies and flood risk. Once climate engineering is employed, countries may be more likely to blame climate engineering for extreme events such as hurricanes, floods and droughts, regardless of the evidence.
While small experiments have been carried out, nobody has conducted large-scale climate engineering yet. That means that a lot of information about its effects relies on climate models. For now, there are more questions about climate engineering than answers. It’s hard to say whether climate engineering would create more conflict, or if it could defuse international tensions by reducing climate change.
But international decisions on climate engineering are likely coming soon. At the United Nations Environment Assembly in March 2024, African countries called for a postponement of climate engineering, urging all precaution. Other nations, including the United States, pressed for a formal scientific group to study the risks and benefits before making any decisions.
Climate engineering could be part of a reasonable solution to climate change. But it also carries risks. Put simply, climate engineering is a technology that can’t be ignored, but more research is needed so policymakers can make informed decisions.
12. What does the underlined word “arrest” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Force. B. Cease. C. Adopt. D. Match.
13. What do we know about climate engineering?
A. It aims at reducing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
B. It reflects a small amount of sunlight back to the earth.
C. It includes actions that copy the natural cooling effects.
D. It mainly uses reflective particles to create brighter clouds.
14. What has led to concerns about climate engineering?
A. Climate models. B. Weather conditions.
C. Unidentified effects. D. Geographical locations.
15. What does the author imply in the last two paragraphs?
A. Progress has been made in international cooperation.
B. Precaution is a better solution than climate engineering.
C. Different regions will embrace climate engineering altogether.
D. Follow-up studies are required to carry out climate engineering.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I cannot remember a point in my life when I desired anything other than becoming a teacher. As a child, I played school with my little cousins and friends just so I could practice for my future career. But what I didn’t realize as a child was how expensive my dream was. I came from a middle-class family, and it seemed as though we’d always struggled to make ends meet. My dream of attending the University of Connecticut seemed so out of reach, but I wasn’t willing to settle for anything less.
In the beginning of my senior year in high school, I began applying to colleges, but in my heart I had already made my decision. The University of Connecticut was the one. But a huge hurdle stood between me and my dream—lack of financial resources.
I had been working a part-time job, but that was barely enough to pay for tuition. I applied for every scholarship I could get my hands on. Yet I was ready to give up. I mean, who was going to give me, the average high-school girl, that kind of money? I wasn’t the smartest person in my class, not even close; but my heart was in the right place, and I was determined. And then my guidance counselor told me about the financial aid system. I applied, but I didn’t think I would qualify for that either.
Luckily my parents are incredible people; they taught me never to give up on my dreams, and never to lose sight of what I truly want out of life. My parents were right, and I continued to believe in both myself and my dreams.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Months went by, but I heard nothing from the financial aid office.

What could driving a race car and pointing a camera at the Milky Way have in common? More than you might imagine. Race car driver Bubba Wallace and photographer Batak Tefreshi journeyed together to remote Gooseberry Mesa for an adventure aiming to capture the night sky.
Gooseberry Mesa, far from population centers, is protected from the night-time artificial light, making it perfect for star photographers. Nature night environments such as this are rare.
Camping, hiking, and shooting stars in mountainous Mesa highlight the similarity between photography and racing. Bubba notes, “Once you fire up the engine there’s no turning back—I know I’ll be in that seat for more than three hours.” Batak agrees, “I have the same feeling as soon as I touch the wheel of my camera—I’m ready to continue through the entire night.” For Bubba, developing patience allowed him to mature as a driver and is equally essential to his photography.
Seizing the moment is crucial too. “Every minute things are changing—the Earth’s shadow, the moonlight, the rise of stars,” Batak explains. “If you lose the moment, it’s gone forever.” Bubba finds the physical and mental demands of racing as crucial when travelling in Utah’s rugged landscapes under freezing temperatures.
Think incoming clouds, wind, or mist will ruin your chance at a perfect shot? According to Batak, “With wide-angle nightscapes every unexpected weather condition can be an opportunity. Our photos show oranges and blues around the moon you wouldn’t see under a clear sky.”
The team discovered shared interests that go beyond photography. “We’re both passionate about bringing cultures together and using our work to break down boundaries,” says Batak.“The night sky has a unifying power. The sky connects the whole world under one umbrella.”
4. Why is Gooseberry Mesa an ideal destination for star photographers?
A. It’s a popular tourist spot.
B. It’s located near a large city.
C. It’s free from light pollution.
D. It’s easily accessible to a race car.
5. In what way is photography similar to racing according to the text?
A. They require patience and timing.
B. They depend on advanced equipment.
C. They involve travelling to remote places.
D. They simply need to meet physical challenges.
6 What does Batak Tefreshi think of unexpected weather conditions?
A. They make the night sky inviting.
B. They are obstacles to be overcome.
C. They are chances for better pictures.
D. They stop him from touching the wheel.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Passion for Discovering Cultures
B. Journey to Shooting the Night Sky
C. Advocacy of Environmental Protection
D. Charm of the Night Sky in Gooseberry Mesa
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. C 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了赛车手Bubba和摄影师Batak一起前往Mesa拍摄夜空的故事。Mesa远离光污染,这样清澈的夜空十分稀有,对于夜空拍摄来说十分完美。两位主人公的经历也集中体现了赛车和摄影的相似之处。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Gooseberry Mesa, far from population centers, is protected from the night-time artificial light, making it perfect for star photographers.( Gooseberry Mesa远离人口中心,免受夜间人造光的干扰,非常适合星空摄影师。)”可知,Gooseberry Mesa因其地处偏远,没有受到光污染,所以适合拍摄星空。故选C。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Bubba notes, “Once you fire up the engine there’s no turning back—I know I’ll be in that seat for more than three hours.” Batak agrees, “I have the same feeling as soon as I touch the wheel of my camera—I’m ready to continue through the entire night.” For Bubba, developing patience allowed him to mature as a driver and is equally essential to his photography.(Bubba指出:“一旦你启动引擎,就没有回头路了——我知道我会在那个座位上坐三个多小时。”Batak也同意,“我一碰到相机的轮子就有同样的感觉——我已经准备好继续一整夜了。”对Bubba来说,培养耐心让他成为一名成熟的司机,这对他的摄影同样重要)”以及第四段“Seizing the moment is crucial too. “Every minute things are changing—the Earth’s shadow, the moonlight, the rise of stars,” Batak explains. “If you lose the moment, it’s gone forever.” Bubba finds the physical and mental demands of racing as crucial when travelling in Utah’s rugged landscapes under freezing temperatures.(抓住时机也很关键。Batak解释说:“每一分钟都在发生变化——地球的影子、月光、星星的升起。”“如果你错过了那个瞬间,它就永远消失了。”Bubba发现,在寒冷的气温下于犹他州崎岖的地形上旅行时,赛车的身心要求至关重要)”可知,对于摄影和赛车这两件事来说,在保持耐心和抓住时机这两点上是相似的。故选A。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“Think incoming clouds, wind, or mist will ruin your chance at a perfect shot? According to Batak, “With wide-angle nightscapes every unexpected weather condition can be an opportunity. Our photos show oranges and blues around the moon you wouldn’t see under a clear sky.”(想想即将到来的云朵、风或雾气会破坏你拍摄完美照片的机会吗?Batak说:“有了广角夜景,每一种意想不到的天气状况都可能成为一个机会。我们的照片显示在月亮周围有橙色和蓝色光芒,这在晴朗的天空下是看不到的。”)”可知,在Batak看来,意外的天气状况反而可能带来拍出更好照片的良机。故选C。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。总览全文,尤其是第一段“What could driving a race car and pointing a camera at the Milky Way have in common? More than you might imagine. Race car driver Bubba Wallace and photographer Batak Tefreshi journeyed together to remote Gooseberry Mesa for an adventure aiming to capture the night sky.(驾驶赛车和用相机对准银河系有什么共同点?可能比你想象的要多。赛车手Bubba Wallace和摄影师Batak Tefreshi一起前往偏远的Gooseberry Mesa进行一次旨在捕捉夜空的冒险)”可知,文章从摄影和赛车有何共同点这一问题引入,引出赛车手Bubba Wallace和摄影师Batak Tefreshi一同去往远方拍摄夜空的旅程,后续文章则围绕着两人在旅程中的感受展开,B选项“拍摄夜空之旅”符合文章主要内容,适合作为标题。故选B。

Mom always said, “Choose your friends wisely.” Now a study led by a Rutgers Health professor shows she was onto something: Their personality traits can affect you—especially ones that are in their genes.
The genetic make-up of adolescent peers may have long-term consequences for individual risk of drug and alcohol use disorders, depression and anxiety, the groundbreaking study has found. “What our data illustrates is the long reach of social genetic effects,” said Jessica E. Salvatore, an associate professor of psychiatry at the Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School and lead author of the study published in the American Journal of Psychiatry.
Socio-genomics—the influence of one person’s genotype on the observable traits of another—is an emerging field of genomics. Previous research suggested that peers’ genetic make-up might influence health outcomes of their friends. To test this, Salvatore and her colleagues used Swedish national data to assess peer social genetic effects for several mental disorders.
With an anonymized (匿名的) database of more than 1.5 million individuals born in Sweden between 1980 and 1998 to Swedish-born parents, the first step was to map individuals by location and by school during their teenage years. The researchers then used medical, pharmacy and legal registries documenting substance use and mental health disorders for the same individuals in adulthood.
Having controlled factors such as the target individuals’ own genetic tendencies and family socio-economic factors, the researchers still found a clear association between peers’ genetic tendencies and target individuals’ likelihood of developing a substance use or mental disorder. The impacts were stronger among school-based peers than geographically defined peers.
Salvatore said more research is needed to understand why these connections exist. But what is clear, she said, is that the findings count for interventions. “If we want to think about how to best address these socially costly disorders, we need to think more about network-based and social interventions,” she said.
This research also underlines the importance of disrupting processes and risks that extend for at least a decade after attendance in school, Salvatore added. “Peer genetic influences have a very long reach,” she said.
8. What does the data of Salvatore’s research show?
A. You should listen to your parent’s advice.
B. Peers are to blame for your mental diseases.
C. Peers’ make-up is the most influential factor.
D. Peers’ personality will affect you in the long run.
9. Why did Salvatore and her colleagues conduct the research?
A. They were concerned with health outcomes of adolescents.
B. They accessed an anonymized database of peers’ influence.
C. They worried about severe cases of peers’ mental disorders.
D. They intended to check former research on socio-genomics.
10. What can we learn from paragraph 5?
A. Target individuals were easily affected in the school.
B. Family socio-economic factors made for the findings.
C Genetic make-up had nothing to do with mental disorder.
D. Target individuals were unlikely to suffer substance uses.
11. What is Salvatore’s suggestion on interventions?
A. Letting go of social genetic effects after 10 years.
B. Digging into why school-based connections exist.
C. Persisting in the removal of the negative influence.
D. Highlighting the risks that would extend for a long time.
【答案】8. D 9. D 10. A 11. C
【解析】

推理判断题。根据最后一段“This research also underlines the importance of disrupting processes and risks that extend for at least a decade after attendance in school, Salvatore added.(Salvatore补充说,这项研究还强调了中断过程和风险的重要性,这些风险在上学后至少会延续十年。)”可知,Salvatore对干预的建议是坚持消除负面影响。故选C。
D
The world is already facing natural disasters of epic proportions as temperatures rise. The only known method able to quickly arrest this temperature rise is climate engineering, which is a set of proposed actions to deliberately alter the climate.
These actions include imitating the cooling effects of large volcanic eruptions by putting large amounts of reflective particles (微粒) in the atmosphere, or making low clouds over the ocean brighter. Both strategies would reflect a small amount of sunlight back to space to cool the planet.
There are many unanswered questions, however, about the effects of intentionally altering the climate. One of the largest concerns for many countries is national security. That doesn’t just mean wars; risks to food, energy and water supplies are national security issues.
Besides, a climate engineering project in one country is likely to affect temperature and rainfall in neighboring countries. That could be good or bad for crops, water supplies and flood risk. Once climate engineering is employed, countries may be more likely to blame climate engineering for extreme events such as hurricanes, floods and droughts, regardless of the evidence.
While small experiments have been carried out, nobody has conducted large-scale climate engineering yet. That means that a lot of information about its effects relies on climate models. For now, there are more questions about climate engineering than answers. It’s hard to say whether climate engineering would create more conflict, or if it could defuse international tensions by reducing climate change.
But international decisions on climate engineering are likely coming soon. At the United Nations Environment Assembly in March 2024, African countries called for a postponement of climate engineering, urging all precaution. Other nations, including the United States, pressed for a formal scientific group to study the risks and benefits before making any decisions.
Climate engineering could be part of a reasonable solution to climate change. But it also carries risks. Put simply, climate engineering is a technology that can’t be ignored, but more research is needed so policymakers can make informed decisions.
12. What does the underlined word “arrest” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Force. B. Cease. C. Adopt. D. Match.
13. What do we know about climate engineering?
A. It aims at reducing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
B. It reflects a small amount of sunlight back to the earth.
C. It includes actions that copy the natural cooling effects.
D. It mainly uses reflective particles to create brighter clouds.
14. What has led to concerns about climate engineering?
A. Climate models. B. Weather conditions.
C. Unidentified effects. D. Geographical locations.
15. What does the author imply in the last two paragraphs?
A. Progress has been made in international cooperation.
B. Precaution is a better solution than climate engineering.
C. Different regions will embrace climate engineering altogether.
D. Follow-up studies are required to carry out climate engineering.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. C 15. D
【解析】

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I cannot remember a point in my life when I desired anything other than becoming a teacher. As a child, I played school with my little cousins and friends just so I could practice for my future career. But what I didn’t realize as a child was how expensive my dream was. I came from a middle-class family, and it seemed as though we’d always struggled to make ends meet. My dream of attending the University of Connecticut seemed so out of reach, but I wasn’t willing to settle for anything less.
In the beginning of my senior year in high school I began applying to colleges, but in my heart I had already made my decision. The University of Connecticut was the one. But a huge hurdle stood between me and my dream—lack of financial resources.
I had been working a part-time job, but that was barely enough to pay for tuition. I applied for every scholarship I could get my hands on. Yet I was ready to give up. I mean, who was going to give me, the average high-school girl, that kind of money? I wasn’t the smartest person in my class, not even close; but my heart was in the right place, and I was determined. And then my guidance counselor told me about the financial aid system. I applied, but I didn’t think I would qualify for that either.
Luckily my parents are incredible people; they taught me never to give up on my dreams, and never to lose sight of what I truly want out of life. My parents were right, and I continued to believe in both myself and my dreams.

Months went by, but I heard nothing from the financial aid office.

【答案】参考范文
Months went by, but I heard nothing from the financial aid office. I constantly checked the mailbox, my heart pounding with anticipation every time I opened it. I questioned if all my efforts had been in vain. The fear of not being able to attend the University of Connecticut due to financial constraints loomed large. Yet, I tried to stay positive, recalling my childhood dream, my parents’ encouragement and the determination that had kept me going this far. I continued to work hard, saving whatever I could, and all the while praying for a favorable outcome from the financial aid office.
Finally, an envelope arrived. My heart skipped a beat as I grasped it. With trembling hands, I tore it open, my eyes scanning the contents frantically. And there it was—the news I had been longing for. I had been granted the financial aid! Overwhelmed with joy, I let out a cry of relief. Tears of happiness streamed down my face. I rushed to my parents, hugging them tightly and sharing this moment of triumph. Now, I could finally look forward to starting my academic journey at the University of Connecticut. I was one step closer to realizing my dream of becoming a teacher, knowing that all my perseverance had paid off.
