S. adults 31 the average 10.5 trips to the library in 2023-more than their going for eight other common activities in their spare time." 32 visit national or historic parks nearly four times a year on average. Visiting a zoo(0.9)is the 33 common activity among this list on the right.” The study also found that women are twice as often to go to a library 34 men do,and that libraries are visited 35 by adults in low-income families and least by adults in high-income ones. Also, it's mostly adults between the ages of 18 and 29 who go to libraries. Maybe this is because some are college students depending on the library for resources（资源）and study 36 ,but it could also be that many are becoming parents around this age and are 37 a way to get out of the house and entertain their child. The discovery（发现）that libraries are still so popular shouldn＇t come as a（n） 38 ． Libraries stand out for many other reasons, not least of all because they are 39 at a time when everything else seems to have growing entry cost.

He decided to invent（发明）an alarm clock. "Everybody has to deal with these every day, and they are really unpleasant!" he says.He asked different people what they would like to be waken up instead of a noisy alarm. A lot of them said，＂The smell of bacon（培根肉）”， So Sallin and two classmates invented a new kind of alarm clock; a wooden box with a pig face! It has a clock that uses the smell of cooking bacon instead of a sound to wake someone up. He explains，＂There＇s no danger of burning， because it uses halogen light bulbs（卤素灯）instead of a fire for cooking and turns off automatically after ten minutes. Yes, the clock itself can do it. Just a few easy steps are needed t0 set the alarm." "What you do is to put some frozen bacon in the night before and set the alarm." says Sallin. "If you set the alarm for 8:00, it will turn on at 7:50 and slow cook for ten minutes under the halogen bulbs," he says. "Then bulbs turn off and a fan blows the smell out through the nose of the pig." "So instend of an alarm, A ," says Sallin. "Then you can open the door on the side and pull the bacon out and eat it.” When Sallin was a kid, he spent a lot of time making drawings of inventions."I wanted to make a lift in my backyard and a special tree house," he says. "But I never really thought I'd be called an inventor!" Sallin got an A in the class and went on to other things. People continue to hear about his invention and email him every day asking where they can buy his alarm clock. ( )46.

In the first forty days a boy had been with him.But after forty days without a fish, the boy's parents had told him that the old man was now salao, which is the worst form of unlucky, and ordered the boy to join another boat, which caught three good fish the first week. It made the boy sad to see the old man come in each day with his boat empty. The sail looked like the flag of failure forever. The old man was thin withdeep wrinkles in the back of his neck. His face was terribly brown because of the strong sunlight on the sea every day and his hands had the deep scars from dealing with heavy fish on the lines. But none of these scars were fresh. Everything about him was old except his eyes and they were the same color as the sea and were cheerful. "Santiago," the boy said to him as they climbed the bank from the sea."I could go with you again. We've made some money." The old man had taught the boy to fish and the boy loved him. "No," the old man said. "You're with a lucky boat. Stay with them." "But remember how you went eighty-four days without fish and then we caught big ones every day for three weeks." "I remember," the old man said. "It was papa who made me leave. I am a boy and I must follow him.” "I know," the old man said. "It is quite normal." “He hasn＇t much faith（信心）.” "No," the old man said. “But we have. Haven't we?" "Yes," the boy said. "Can I offer you a beer?"

D You love reading, but you've read all your books four times, and are tired of reading the same ones. You're planning to go to the library, but don't know what kind of books to get.With the right knowledge, it's easy to choose a good book! Answer these questions first. What writers do you like? Research books by the writers you've enjoyed, and you can get more of the same type of books. What are your interests?Type your hobbies into your library catalog（目录）search. By doing this，you will find books that you might like. Is there a type of book you would like to try? If there is,search the book and read the summary（摘要）.This will help you decide if the book is right for you. Search your house next. Often good books are quietly collecting dust（灰尘）in your own house.Maybe you forget about one, or someone who is living with you has a couple of good books.Also by searching your house, you can find some books that you can read, and they won't even cost you any money. Then, ask someone to recommend a good book. You can ask your older brother or sister,your mom, your dad, your best friend, or even your English teacher. Local bookstores often have wonderful recommendations. And when they get to know you,it's even better! You should ask people who like the same type of books, so that you can get books that match your need. Join a book club, please. Being a book club member is often a way to experience new books with other members. Joining a book club or setting up a book club helps you know who else likes the same books as you, and you can read books that others have read and discuss them. Finally, read the first part of each book. Of course,if you have many books, this can be time-consuming. Reading the first part of a book can help you know what books and types of books that you like, and you won't have a hard time looking for books again. ( )53.

What is NOT mentioned about joining a book club? A. Experiencing new books with other members. B. Knowing who else likes the same books as you. C. Reading and discussing hooks others have read. D. Helping you make more and more close friends. ( )56. What does the underlined word "time-consuming" in the last paragraph mean?

And for some of us, even the smallest changes can upset our day. So the question is: Why do most of us find making changes to our lives so hard? 57 Fear of change is nothing new. Over a century ago, people of Paris were unhappy over a particular addition to their city: the Eiffel Tower. In fact, people were so angry about the plans for the tower that they protested（抗议）it． 58 They were given no choice about the huge change that was going to be made, so they became angry. But we get upset over changes even when we do have a say in the matter. Changes happen every day by the decisions we make: which school to attend, which job to take, whom to marry. Voluntary changes also make most of us uneasy because we don＇t know how those changes will affect（影响）our future. How we can overcome（克服）our fear of change People have found that the key to overcoming the fear and anger of change is to be flexible（灵活的）， 59 Being flexible is especially important in the 21st century as technology makes change take place faster than ever before. Those who refuse change,especially with technology in the workplace, may find themselves out of a job. When change comes, and you have no choice but to face it,accept it. A positive attitude （积极的态度）helps a lot． 60 That new job you got may end up being much better than your old one. You may make the best friends of your life in the new city you moved to. Don't only focus on（关注）how you feel about change； instead decide to accept the change. The change is the reality, and it's up to you whether the change will be a success or a failure. You never know-your next change may be your life's Eiffel Tower! A. It might seem strange, but their anger was completely natural. B. Reasons for our changes C. In fact, the change may turn out to be the best thing for you. D. When they are flexible, people can accept new situations more easily. E. Why we dislike change F. Your future life is never known because of the changes. 57. 58. 59. 60. 第II卷（主观题 共34分） 六、综合填空（本大题共10小题，每小题1分，共10分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 A few years ago, Ed Jones was shopping at a second-hand store.

"How much do you think it's worth?" Mr Jones asked the experts." 68 (million),"they replied. "It's impossible to say 69 (exact) how much the map is worth.
