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.
36. 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
C. sending a needed book to a library branch nearby
D. making the checkout procedures diverse
37. According to Paragraph 3, what items may be checked out from a public library?
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
38. As is described in Paragraph 4, taking a small kid to a half-hour Story Time allows ______.
A. the kid to learn a new language
B. the parent to enjoy quiet reading
C. the kid to overcome reading difficulties
D. the parent to meet their program sponsor
39. 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
40. What is the purpose of the passage?
A. To point out the importance of public libraries.
B. To encourage people to work in public libraries.
C. To introduce the improved services of public libraries.
D. To call for the modernization of public library systems.

【36题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章Check out a book中“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.( 通过这样的网络,图书馆通过运载车辆的使用彼此分享图书。一旦你要的书送到最近的书店,他们会通过电子邮件通知你,你就可以去取了。)”可知,合作网络连接的公共图书馆通过向附近的图书馆分支机构发送所需的书籍,使读者受益。故选C项。

When my daughter went overseas on her gap-year adventure, my teenage son and I found ourselves alone at home. Except for the occasional Sunday dinners with friends, we spent much of our time in separate rooms. As a single parent, much of our communication involves me reminding him to clean his room, eat his vegetables or do his homework.
I had a strong desire to hang out with my son outside the house, so I booked two tickets to Seoul for the September school holidays, surprising us both. With hurriedly packed suitcases and a basic travel plan built around some last-minute Google searches, we headed to the airport.
There was a sense of liberation in reaching a destination without any set plans. We just walked for hours every day, stopping when we were hungry and wandering the back streets. Neither of us could speak Korean, so if we wanted to talk, we only had each other, which gave us a connection we don’t always have in our daily lives. My son was naturally curious, which made him a good traveler. And instead of questioning the things he suggested, I just went with them.
He dragged me into shopping for jeans in stores down the street and made me catch buses that took us in the wrong direction entirely. He was unafraid and would walk into an art exhibition and manage to communicate enough, so the next minute we were offered cups of steaming green tea and shown artwork that wasn’t displayed on the walls.
I saw him differently in South Korea. Not the child running late for school or forgetting to eat a bowl of carrots and peas, but someone taller than me who understood when to stand on a train so someone older could take his seat, and how to handle situations like trying on clothes and buying things with his own money.
Traveling meant we were more like equals. And instead of feeling sad about the child version of him, I saw the adult he was becoming.

When people get old and have difficulty working full time, they retire and begin a new, more relaxing lifestyle. But what about old industrial buildings? Can they start anew?
China seems to find a good solution for them. In recent years, many abandoned factories, railway yards, warehouses and mills have been transformed into cultural and tourist sites. According to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, there are now 194 items on the country’s national industrial heritage list.
The 798 Art Zone in Beijing is an iconic example. Built in the 1950s as No 798 Joint Factory, it was gradually abandoned in the 1990s as production slowed down. In 2006, Beijing’s municipal government invested over 120 million yuan and improved its infrastructure condition, turning the factory complex into a cultural and creative industrial base. Now the art zone holds about 200 galleries, art centers as well as fashionable boutiques, cafes and restaurants, which also earns it a place on the bucket list (心愿单) of many tourists, noted The Paper.
Jack Liu is a frequenter of the art zone who visits it every weekend. “In the art zone, you can refresh memories of the development of Chinese manufacturing through its old buildings,” said the 28-year-old to Teens. “However, in art galleries here you will feel pulled into a fashionable, modern world. It’s amazing.”
Industrial heritage sites, which used to be filled with the rumbling of machines, are now “precious pages of the book on the industrial culture of China,” noted People’s Daily.
Since these heritage sites are rich and diverse in content, cities in China also spare no effort to explore new ways and models to protect and utilize them.
For example, a beer museum has been set up inside a century-old plant of the Tsingtao Brewery in Qingdao, Shandong province, bringing people closer to the long history of the brewery. Some abandoned plants in Beijing have also been renovated for city explorers to take adventures in.
Just as the elderly need our care and love, these industrial heritages are also expected to be injected with vitality through protection and development. “It is not only an inevitable trend of the innovation-driven development of cities, but a necessity for fostering (促进) new drivers of development,” noted People’s Daily.
46. What is China’s solution for old industrial buildings?
A. Expanding their space and uses.
B. Upgrading them to become attractions.
C. Integrating them with new buildings.
D. Returning them to their original condition.
47. What do we know about the 798 Art Zone?
A. It was established in the 1990s.
B. It mainly provides venues for fashion shows.
C. It’s China’s first cultural and creative industrial base.
D. It’s a successful example of transforming old industrial sites.
48. What are Jack Liu’s feelings in the renewed industrial buildings?
A. The buildings which are out of date should be torn down.
B. They are the refreshments of Chinese manufacturing.
C. The once deserted buildings are full of vitality now.
D. He is amazed with the mixture of old and new galleries.
49. Why does the author mention the beer museum?
A. To show the popularity of industrial heritage sites.
B. To explain the importance of renovating old plants.
C. To introduce the features of industrial heritage sites.
D. To illustrate how industrial heritage sites can be used effectively.
50. What does the author think of industrial heritage sites?
A. They deserve to be brought back to life.
B. They can be drivers for city development.
C. They should give way to modern buildings.
D. They are reminders of a city’s development.

In today’s day and age of one click purchases and immediately accessible information, instant gratification (满足) is seen as the norm. The always — on world, with smartphones and Wi-Fi, reinforces that you have to get what you want right away. But instant gratification isn’t always best in fact, impulse control is an essential life skill. When it comes to achieving your goals, delayed gratification is the skill that will get you there faster.
The truth is, it’s not realistic to get everything you want, much less get it immediately. Instant gratification is actually a source of frustration — it creates false expectations. By learning to employ delayed gratification, you buy time to strategize thoughtfully and learn from your failures.
Delayed gratification means resisting the temptation of an immediate reward, in anticipation that there will be a greater reward later. Those with high impulse control typically excel at delayed gratification.
According to Freud’s “pleasure principle”, humans are wired to seek pleasure and avoid pain. This is why children seek instant gratification. But as we mature, this desire is tempered by the “reality” principle, or the ability of humans to consider risks versus rewards, by which we’re able to delay fulfillment instead of making a poor decision — especially if the later reward is greater than the one we’d get immediately.
The ability to hold out now for a better reward later allows you to save money for a vacation, skip dessert to lose weight or take a job you don’t love but that will help your career later on.
In the 1960s, Stanford professor Walter Mischel tested hundreds of young children by placing each child in a private room, accompanied only by a single candy placed on the table. Researchers then offered each child a deal: If the child refrained from eating the candy while researchers briefly left the room, the child would be rewarded with a second one; otherwise there would be no second one. Some children ate the first candy immediately. Others tried to restrain themselves but eventually gave in. Only a few children managed to hold out for the two-candy reward.
Researchers followed the experiment participants into adulthood over a span of 40 years. Unlike the children giving in to temptation, the children who delayed their reward were far more successful in almost all areas of life. They scored higher on standardized tests, were healthier, responded better to stress, had fewer substance abuse issues and demonstrated better social skills. This delayed gratification example proved that it is crucial to success in almost every facet of life.
51. The author believes that _________.
A. instant gratification is always best
B. impulse control is an essential life skill
C. achieving goals requires no delay
D. the always-on world is a source of frustration
52. The word “tempered” in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to _________.

B. Waiting to buy a better new TV until the summer sale starts.
C. Deciding to eat dessert to celebrate weight loss.
D. Eating all the cookies in the jar instead of saving some for later.
54. Why did researchers test children with a single candy in the 1960s?
A. To test their impulse control ability.
B. To teach them the concept of delayed gratification.
C. To understand how the children dealt with stress.
D. To test whether the children could keep their promise.
55. The author uses the delayed gratification example to show that _________.
A. it is important to consider risks and rewards
B. it is crucial to success in almost every aspect of life
C. the pleasure principle has less influence on adults than on children
D. strategic thinking is more effective than impulse control

“Mom, I don’t like you; you’re not pretty now,” my five - year - old son said to me one day, Being a mother of two kids under three has certainly kept me busy. In prioritizing my family’s needs, my own needs are always postponed.
By the end of the day, when I finally have time to think about doing something for myself, I’m too tired. I reach for a glass of wine and sink down into the sofa to watch some mindless TV entertainment. I escape. I let myself daydream.
With each passing day I lose myself just a little bit more. Long ago, I waved goodbye to the fun - loving person I once was and saw the dull version of my new self.
But something changed on the day my son told me I wasn’t pretty. That night, in the mirror I noticed the light had gone out of my eyes. My kids had magical eyes. They shone with wonder, hope, and adventure. Contrarily, my eyes were dull. I once had light and a journal full of adventures.
Then, I decided to bring light back to my eyes. I listed new things to try before I turned forty years old. The first thing was participating in a Polar Plunge to raise money for the Special Olympics. I live in Minnesota and jumping into the middle of a frozen lake seems very appealing. On the morning of the Polar Plunge, I changed into my 1980s workout gear (健身装备). My son said, “Mom, you look pretty. ”
But I hesitated when approaching the platform to take the leap into the frozen lake. Finally, I let go of my fear and got ready to embrace the challenge. I felt happy and proud of myself as I came up from the lake. I kept screaming, “I did it!”
Everyone who participated in the Polar Plunge received a blue T - shirt. Whenever I wear that shirt, my sons stated, “Mommy, you’re great. We want to do that, too”. It makes me proud.
Slowly, I am returning. I am showing my family it’s important to dream and achieve it. I reach out to my friends and family. I am rebuilding myself.

Li Hua

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.
36. 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
C. sending a needed book to a library branch nearby
D making the checkout procedures diverse
37. According to Paragraph 3, what items may be checked out from a public library?
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
38. As is described in Paragraph 4, taking a small kid to a half-hour Story Time allows ______.
A. the kid to learn a new language
B. the parent to enjoy quiet reading
C. the kid to overcome reading difficulties
D. the parent to meet their program sponsor
39. 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
40. What is the purpose of the passage?
A. To point out the importance of public libraries.
B. To encourage people to work in public libraries.
C. To introduce the improved services of public libraries.
D. To call for the modernization of public library systems.
B
When my daughter went overseas on her gap-year adventure, my teenage son and I found ourselves alone at home. Except for the occasional Sunday dinners with friends, we spent much of our time in separate rooms. As a single parent, much of our communication involves me reminding him to clean his room, eat his vegetables or do his homework.
I had a strong desire to hang out with my son outside the house, so I booked two tickets to Seoul for the September school holidays, surprising us both. With hurriedly packed suitcases and a basic travel plan built around some last-minute Google searches, we headed to the airport.
There was a sense of liberation in reaching a destination without any set plans. We just walked for hours every day, stopping when we were hungry and wandering the back streets. Neither of us could speak Korean, so if we wanted to talk, we only had each other, which gave us a connection we don’t always have in our daily lives. My son was naturally curious, which made him a good traveler. And instead of questioning the things he suggested, I just went with them.
He dragged me into shopping for jeans in stores down the street and made me catch buses that took us in the wrong direction entirely. He was unafraid and would walk into an art exhibition and manage to communicate enough, so the next minute we were offered cups of steaming green tea and shown artwork that wasn’t displayed on the walls.
I saw him differently in South Korea. Not the child running late for school or forgetting to eat a bowl of carrots and peas, but someone taller than me who understood when to stand on a train so someone older could take his seat, and how to handle situations like trying on clothes and buying things with his own money.
Traveling meant we were more like equals. And instead of feeling sad about the child version of him, I saw the adult he was becoming.
41. What was the author’s role in her son’s daily life before the trip?
A. The single parent setting rules.
B. The single parent sharing secrets.
C. The single parent guiding his ambitions.
D. The single parent offering emotional support.
42. Why did the author decide on the trip to Seoul with her son initially?
A. To find purpose in life. B. To deeply bond with her son.
C. To pick up a new language. D. To deeply expand their visions.
43. What makes the author’s son a good traveler?
A. Curiosity, bravery and sociability.
B. Generosity, patience and perseverance.
C. Language ability and a sense of direction.
D. Decisiveness (果断), endurance and safety awareness.
44. How does the author show her changed view of her son?
A. Through character development.
B. Through citing others’ comments.
C. Through dialogue and interaction.
D. Through describing actions and behaviors.
45. What did the author probably think of the trip?
A. Amusing. B. Demanding. C. Satisfying. D. Embarrassing.
C
When people get old and have difficulty working full time, they retire and begin a new, more relaxing lifestyle. But what about old industrial buildings? Can they start anew?
China seems to find a good solution for them. In recent years, many abandoned factories, railway yards, warehouses and mills have been transformed into cultural and tourist sites. According to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, there are now 194 items on the country’s national industrial heritage list.
The 798 Art Zone in Beijing is an iconic example. Built in the 1950s as No 798 Joint Factory, it was gradually abandoned in the 1990s as production slowed down. In 2006, Beijing’s municipal government invested over 120 million yuan and improved its infrastructure condition, turning the factory complex into a cultural and creative industrial base. Now the art zone holds about 200 galleries, art centers as well as fashionable boutiques, cafes and restaurants, which also earns it a place on the bucket list (心愿单) of many tourists, noted The Paper.
Jack Liu is a frequenter of the art zone who visits it every weekend. “In the art zone, you can refresh memories of the development of Chinese manufacturing through its old buildings,” said the 28-year-old to Teens. “However, in art galleries here you will feel pulled into a fashionable, modern world. It’s amazing.”
Industrial heritage sites, which used to be filled with the rumbling of machines, are now “precious pages of the book on the industrial culture of China,” noted People’s Daily.
Since these heritage sites are rich and diverse in content cities in China also spare no effort to explore new ways and models to protect and utilize them.
For example, a beer museum has been set up inside a century-old plant of the Tsingtao Brewery in Qingdao, Shandong province, bringing people closer to the long history of the brewery. Some abandoned plants in Beijing have also been renovated for city explorers to take adventures in.
Just as the elderly need our care and love, these industrial heritages are also expected to be injected with vitality through protection and development. “It is not only an inevitable trend of the innovation-driven development of cities, but a necessity for fostering (促进) new drivers of development,” noted People’s Daily.
46. What is China’s solution for old industrial buildings?
A. Expanding their space and uses.
B. Upgrading them to become attractions.
C. Integrating them with new buildings.
D. Returning them to their original condition.
47. What do we know about the 798 Art Zone?
A. It was established in the 1990s.
B. It mainly provides venues for fashion shows.
C. It’s China’s first cultural and creative industrial base.
D. It’s a successful example of transforming old industrial sites.
48. What are Jack Liu’s feelings in the renewed industrial buildings?
A. The buildings which are out of date should be torn down.
B. They are the refreshments of Chinese manufacturing.
C. The once deserted buildings are full of vitality now.
D. He is amazed with the mixture of old and new galleries.
49. Why does the author mention the beer museum?
A. To show the popularity of industrial heritage sites.
B. To explain the importance of renovating old plants.
C. To introduce the features of industrial heritage sites.
D. To illustrate how industrial heritage sites can be used effectively.
50. What does the author think of industrial heritage sites?
A. They deserve to be brought back to life.
B. They can be drivers for city development.
C. They should give way to modern buildings.
D. They are reminders of a city’s development.
D
In today’s day and age of one click purchases and immediately accessible information, instant gratification (满足) is seen as the norm. The always — on world, with smartphones and Wi-Fi, reinforces that you have to get what you want right away. But instant gratification isn’t always best in fact, impulse control is an essential life skill. When it comes to achieving your goals, delayed gratification is the skill that will get you there faster.
The truth is, it’s not realistic to get everything you want, much less get it immediately. Instant gratification is actually a source of frustration — it creates false expectations. By learning to employ delayed gratification, you buy time to strategize thoughtfully and learn from your failures.
Delayed gratification means resisting the temptation of an immediate reward, in anticipation that there will be a greater reward later. Those with high impulse control typically excel at delayed gratification.
According to Freud’s “pleasure principle”, humans are wired to seek pleasure and avoid pain. This is why children seek instant gratification. But as we mature, this desire is tempered by the “reality” principle, or the ability of humans to consider risks versus rewards, by which we’re able to delay fulfillment instead of making a poor decision — especially if the later reward is greater than the one we’d get immediately.
The ability to hold out now for a better reward later allows you to save money for a vacation, skip dessert to lose weight or take a job you don’t love but that will help your career later on.
In the 1960s, Stanford professor Walter Mischel tested hundreds of young children by placing each child in a private room, accompanied only by a single candy placed on the table. Researchers then offered each child a deal: If the child refrained from eating the candy while researchers briefly left the room, the child would be rewarded with a second one; otherwise there would be no second one. Some children ate the first candy immediately. Others tried to restrain themselves but eventually gave in. Only a few children managed to hold out for the two-candy reward.
Researchers followed the experiment participants into adulthood over a span of 40 years. Unlike the children giving in to temptation, the children who delayed their reward were far more successful in almost all areas of life. They scored higher on standardized tests, were healthier, responded better to stress, had fewer substance abuse issues and demonstrated better social skills. This delayed gratification example proved that it is crucial to success in almost every facet of life.
51. The author believes that _________.
A. instant gratification is always best
B. impulse control is an essential life skill
C. achieving goals requires no delay
D. the always-on world is a source of frustration
52. The word “tempered” in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to _________.
A. enhanced B. developed C. eased D. affected
53. Which of the following best represents the delayed gratification described in the passage?
A. Buying a new car immediately after saving enough money.
B. Waiting to buy a better new TV until the summer sale starts.
C. Deciding to eat dessert to celebrate weight loss.
D. Eating all the cookies in the jar instead of saving some for later.
54. Why did researchers test children with a single candy in the 1960s?
A. To test their impulse control ability.
B. To teach them the concept of delayed gratification.
C. To understand how the children dealt with stress.
D. To test whether the children could keep their promise.
55. The author uses the delayed gratification example to show that _________.
A. it is important to consider risks and rewards
B. it is crucial to success in almost every aspect of life
C. the pleasure principle has less influence on adults than on children
D. strategic thinking is more effective than impulse control

“Mom, I don’t like you; you’re not pretty now,” my five - year - old son said to me one day, Being a mother of two kids under three has certainly kept me busy. In prioritizing my family’s needs, my own needs are always postponed.
By the end of the day, when I finally have time to think about doing something for myself, I’m too tired. I reach for a glass of wine and sink down into the sofa to watch some mindless TV entertainment. I escape. I let myself daydream.
With each passing day, I lose myself just a little bit more. Long ago, I waved goodbye to the fun - loving person I once was and saw the dull version of my new self.
But something changed on the day my son told me I wasn’t pretty. That night, in the mirror I noticed the light had gone out of my eyes. My kids had magical eyes. They shone with wonder, hope, and adventure. Contrarily, my eyes were dull. I once had light and a journal full of adventures.
Then, I decided to bring light back to my eyes. I listed new things to try before I turned forty years old. The first thing was participating in a Polar Plunge to raise money for the Special Olympics. I live in Minnesota and jumping into the middle of a frozen lake seems very appealing. On the morning of the Polar Plunge, I changed into my 1980s workout gear (健身装备). My son said, “Mom, you look pretty. ”
But I hesitated when approaching the platform to take the leap into the frozen lake. Finally, I let go of my fear and got ready to embrace the challenge. I felt happy and proud of myself as I came up from the lake. I kept screaming, “I did it!”
Everyone who participated in the Polar Plunge received a blue T - shirt. Whenever I wear that shirt, my sons stated, “Mommy, you’re great. We want to do that, too”. It makes me proud.
Slowly, I am returning. I am showing my family it’s important to dream and achieve it. I reach out to my friends and family. I am rebuilding myself.
66. What did the author often do at the end of the day? (no more than 10 words)
67. What does the underlined phrase in Paragraph 6 mean? (1 word )
