Welcome to WSU Libraries! In this guide, we’ll unlock the mysteries of call numbers and location prefixes. Knowing these helps you quickly locate and access your desired books.
Call Numbers
Books and material are arranged on our shelves according to the Library of Congress (LC)classification system. These call numbers uniquely identify and organize items near other material on the same or similar subjects. Consider the call number: LB2395 C651991.
·LB defines the subject area. The call letters are typically arranged in alphabetical (字母的) order, starting from A and continuing through the alphabet. Knowing the letter(s) for your subject area gives you a place to start browsing the shelves. For example: A — General Works; B — Philosophy, Psychology, Religion; D — World History; G — Geography; H — Social Sciences; J — Political Science; K — Law; L — Education; M — Music; N — Arts; P — Language and Literature; Q — Science… For more, click here.
·2395 is the classification number, which further distinguishes the subject matter. Read as a whole number: 1, 2, 3, 45, 100, 2430…
·C65 is the Cutter number and usually represents the author’s last name. Find C, then 65. Read the number as a decimal (小数).
·1991 is the year of publication.
Location Prefixes
Some call numbers have a location prefix. Location prefixes mean that the book or material is shelved in a special place, and may have loan restrictions. WSU uses the following prefixes:
Prefix

He says the problem with teachers is, “What will a kid learn from someone who chose to become a teacher?” He reminds the other dinner guests that it’s true what they say about teachers: Those who can, do; those who can’t, teach.
I decide to bite my tongue instead of biting his and stop myself from reminding the other dinner guests that it’s also true what they say about lawyers — that they make money from the misfortune of others.
“I mean, you’re a teacher. Taylor,” he says to me. “Be honest. What do you make?”

Understanding a proof in a math textbook is one thing; being able to reconstruct it without help is another thing. My classmates and I learned this the hard way at university. Most of our exams were oral exams, and nothing exposes a lack of deep knowledge faster than trying to explain a concept to someone.
Unlike written exams, where visual learners may be able to parrot back memorized notes that they barely understand, an oral test demands creative thinking in real time. When presented with a problem, students not only need to recall relevant definitions and theories, but they also need to apply them-sometimes in ways they never anticipated.
Students often fall into a familiar trap. They read the textbooks, highlight key passages, and review lecture notes. These activities feel productive, but when exam day arrives, a student will often realize their passive familiarity with the material doesn’t translate into the ability to apply it. Nor does it translate into a good grade. Passive learning is misleading. It feels like we’re making progress, but without actually applying what we learn, it slips away quickly.
Consuming information is not the same as developing skills. The cognitive psychologist Daniel T. Willingham explains the distinction between passive and active learning when he writes, “Memory is the result of thought.” In other words, we forget most of what we encounter and remember only what we think about. Reading about calculations doesn’t automatically create the neural pathways needed to solve calculating problems. Those pathways only form through deliberate practice: by solving problems, making mistakes, and experiencing the struggle.
As a general rule, the harder your brain works during practice, the better it performs when it matters. To truly master something, you should embrace challenges and accept the slow, often frustrating, pace of true learning. The oral math exam was valuable because it broke the illusion of passive learning. Standing in front of the professor, faced with a problem, there’s nowhere to hide. The pressure to produce mathematics revealed the true state of our understanding. To truly know what we don’t know, we should simulate our own oral exams by picturing an imaginary professor asking questions and forcing ourselves to figure out answers on our own.
8. What does the underlined phrase “parrot back” mean in paragraph 2?
A. Repeat mechanically. B. Appreciate deeply.
C. Apply creatively. D. Forget quickly.
9. Why do students fall into the learning trap?
A. Because of over-reliance on textbooks.
B. Because of brilliant exam performance.
C. Because of a false sense of competence.
D. Because of overemphasis on memory skills.
10. Which of the following statements might Daniel T. Willingham agree with?
A. Repeated exposure strengthens memories.
B. Active engagement builds solid memory.
C. Memory improves with extensive reading.
D. Learning occurs when teachers ask questions.
11. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Passive Learning: The Silent Killer of Exams
B. Conscious Practice: The Best Way to Learn Math
C. Oral Math Exams: The Frustrating University Tests
D. Active Learning: The Key to Mastering Knowledge
D
You’ve stopped at a cafe on your way to work, and the next thing you know, your latte foam is staring at you. You’ve had the same furniture for years, but today your cupboard looks sad. You’re lying in the park with your friends, and now Jesus is floating by in the clouds — are they seeing him too?!
Why do we see human faces everywhere?
Until now, it has been unclear as to why the brain processes visual signals and represents them in our mind as human faces. However, researchers from the School of Psychology at the University of Sydney have tried evaluating this phenomenon.
The facial recognition response happens fast, only taking a few hundred milliseconds. From an evolutionary perspective, the researchers suggest that the benefit of “never missing a face” outweighs the error where lifeless objects are seen as faces. Despite knowing that the object you are seeing is not a human face, the perception of a face stays. This is known as “face pareidolia”.
Pareidolia refers to the tendency to impose a meaningful interpretation on an unclear stimulus (刺激物), making one see an object, pattern or meaning when there is none. Pareidolia was originally considered a symptom of mental disorder, but it is now viewed as a normal human tendency.
Pareidolia has been investigated by scientists and has been present in art and literature for a long period of time. In Shakespeare’s Hamlet, Hamlet demonstrates his supposed madness in his exchange with Polonius by telling him that he can see a camel in the sky.
The researchers set out to investigate whether a detected pareidolia face would be cast off as a false detection or be analyzed for a facial expression. The study participants were presented series of faces and asked to rate each face expression on a scale from angry to happy. The series involved a mix of both real and pareidolia faces.
The researchers have found that pareidolia faces are not ignored as false detections, but rather undergo an internal “facial expression analysis”, in the same way a real face would. This is likely because humans are deeply social beings. Additionally, in their analysis of how people judge pareidolia faces, the researchers often observed biased judgments.
So, the next time you see an angry tree, don’t be surprised and remember it’s not personal.
12. The first paragraph is written in a way that ________.
A. presents an unusual scientific finding B. creates a vivid and relatable situation
C. warns readers about potential illusions D. contrasts everyday life with rare events
13. Why might our brains have developed the tendency of “face pareidolia”?
A. Because it helps us to be more creative in art and literature.
B. Because it makes us better at processing information quickly.
C. Because it’s more important to notice all faces than to avoid mistakes.
D. Because seeing faces in lifeless objects is harmless and often enjoyable.
14. Why does the author mention Shakespeare’s Hamlet?
A. To contrast literary interpretation with psychological research.
B. To show that seeing patterns in random objects is a sign of madness.
C. To prove that pareidolia is a modern concept discovered by scientists.
D. To illustrate the phenomenon has long been recognized in human culture.
15 What did the study find about how people see pareidolia faces?
A. They ignore them once they know they aren’t real.
B. They see them as more frightening than real faces.
C. They can easily tell them apart from real human faces.
D. They judge their expressions as if they were real faces.

Growing up, I wanted to be just like my mom. She was kind and caring, and always made people comfortable in her presence. For years she was a volunteer in our community. I love going to the local nursing home to help with her when I was a child. However, once I became a teenager, I was too caught up in my adolescent world to worry about helping others.
One particular summer day when I was 12, Mom came into my room and told me to get up and meet her at the car. But I had planned to spend the day at the lake with friends. Why did she have to ruin everything? At last, I made my way outside with my mother. Angry and annoyed, I climbed into the car and shoot the door loudly. I sat in silence, too upset to talk. “Tasha, do you know where we are going?” Mom asked calmly. I remained silent. “Sweetheart, we’re going to the children’s shelter. I have been there before and I think it would benefit you,” she explained.
I feel a pain slowly form in my stomach. How was I supposed to help there?
When we reached the shelter, I was rather surprised. As we approached the front door, wind bells played a calming tune while trees and flowers welcomed us. Maybe this wasn’t going to be so.
Mom rang the doorbell. We were led to the front room, where all of the children were playing. Toys were spread out across the floor. I noticed a baby whose body was seriously wounded. Most of the children had noticeable physical scars such as cuts, burns and scratches. What a terrible life they must had had before they moved here! My heart sank. As I was looking around, I felt a gentle pull on my shirt.

I looked down to find a little girl with brown eyes looking up at me.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作为一名教师,作者在晚宴上遭人质疑,以独白形式阐述教师的价值,回应质疑者的故事。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第1段中“He reminds the other dinner guests that it’s true what they say about teachers: Those who can, do; those who can’t, teach.(他提醒其他赴宴的客人,人们对教师的那句评价确实不假:能者做事,庸者教书)”男人质疑教师“能者做事,庸者教书”,以及第三段““I mean, you’re a teacher. Taylor,” he says to me. “Be honest. What do you make?”(“我说,泰勒,你是一名教师吧。”他对我说,“老实说,你挣多少钱?”)”追问作者“赚多少钱”,结合倒数第3段“I make them understand that if you have brains then you follow your heart and if someone over tries to judge you by what you make, you teach them a lesson.(我让他们明白,只要你有智慧,就应追随自己的内心;倘若有人执意以你的收入来评判你,你就要给他们好好上一课)”作者反驳“若有人试图以收入评判你,你就给他们上一课”可推断,该男人以收入衡量价值。故选C项。
【5题详解】

Understanding a proof in a math textbook is one thing; being able to reconstruct it without help is another thing. My classmates and I learned this the hard way at university. Most of our exams were oral exams, and nothing exposes a lack of deep knowledge faster than trying to explain a concept to someone.
Unlike written exams, where visual learners may be able to parrot back memorized notes that they barely understand, an oral test demands creative thinking in real time. When presented with a problem, students not only need to recall relevant definitions and theories, but they also need to apply them-sometimes in ways they never anticipated.
Students often fall into a familiar trap. They read the textbooks, highlight key passages, and review lecture notes. These activities feel productive, but when exam day arrives, a student will often realize their passive familiarity with the material doesn’t translate into the ability to apply it. Nor does it translate into a good grade. Passive learning is misleading. It feels like we’re making progress, but without actually applying what we learn, it slips away quickly.
Consuming information is not the same as developing skills. The cognitive psychologist Daniel T. Willingham explains the distinction between passive and active learning when he writes, “Memory is the result of thought.” In other words, we forget most of what we encounter and remember only what we think about. Reading about calculations doesn’t automatically create the neural pathways needed to solve calculating problems. Those pathways only form through deliberate practice: by solving problems, making mistakes, and experiencing the struggle.
As a general rule, the harder your brain works during practice, the better it performs when it matters. To truly master something, you should embrace challenges and accept the slow, often frustrating, pace of true learning. The oral math exam was valuable because it broke the illusion of passive learning. Standing in front of the professor, faced with a problem, there’s nowhere to hide. The pressure to produce mathematics revealed the true state of our understanding. To truly know what we don’t know, we should simulate our own oral exams by picturing an imaginary professor asking questions and forcing ourselves to figure out answers on our own.
8 What does the underlined phrase “parrot back” mean in paragraph 2?
A. Repeat mechanically. B. Appreciate deeply.
C. Apply creatively. D. Forget quickly.
9. Why do students fall into the learning trap?
A. Because of over-reliance on textbooks.
B. Because of brilliant exam performance.
C. Because of a false sense of competence.
D. Because of overemphasis on memory skills.
10. Which of the following statements might Daniel T. Willingham agree with?
A. Repeated exposure strengthens memories.
B. Active engagement builds solid memory.
C. Memory improves with extensive reading.
D. Learning occurs when teachers ask questions.
11. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Passive Learning: The Silent Killer of Exams
B. Conscious Practice: The Best Way to Learn Math
C. Oral Math Exams: The Frustrating University Tests
D. Active Learning: The Key to Mastering Knowledge
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要论述了被动学习无法让人真正掌握知识,通过大学数学口试的经历,强调主动学习、刻意练习才是掌握知识的关键。
8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段中的“Unlike written exams, where visual learners may be able to parrot back memorized notes that they barely understand, an oral test demands creative thinking in real time.(与笔试不同,视觉学习者在笔试中可能会对自己几乎不理解的背诵笔记进行parrot back,而口试则需要实时的创造性思维。)”可知,笔试中学习者可能只是重复记忆的笔记,并未真正理解,与口试的创造性思维形成对比。因此“parrot back”表示“机械重复”。故选A项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“These activities feel productive, but when exam day arrives, a student will often realize their passive familiarity with the material doesn’t translate into the ability to apply it. Nor does it translate into a good grade. Passive learning is misleading. It feels like we’re making progress, but without actually applying what we learn, it slips away quickly.(这些活动让人感觉很有成效,但当考试日到来时,学生往往会意识到,他们对材料的被动熟悉并不能转化为应用能力,也不能转化为好成绩。被动学习具有误导性。感觉我们在进步,但如果不实际应用所学,知识很快就会溜走。)”可知,学生陷入学习陷阱是因为被动学习带来了虚假的能力感,让他们误以为自己掌握了知识。故选C项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“The cognitive psychologist Daniel T. Willingham explains the distinction between passive and active learning when he writes, “Memory is the result of thought.” In other words, we forget most of what we encounter and remember only what we think about.(认知心理学家丹尼尔·T·威林厄姆在解释被动学习和主动学习的区别时写道:“记忆是思考的结果。”换句话说,我们会忘记大部分遇到的东西,只记住我们思考过的东西。)”可知,威林厄姆认为记忆源于思考,即主动参与才能形成牢固的记忆。故选B项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,文章通过大学数学口试的经历引出被动学习的弊端,引用心理学家的观点强调“记忆是思考的结果”,并指出主动练习、迎接挑战才是真正掌握知识的方式,所以题目“主动学习是掌握知识的关键”概括了全文的主题,适合作为最佳标题。故选D项。

You’ve stopped at a cafe on your way to work, and the next thing you know, your latte foam is staring at you. You’ve had the same furniture for years, but today your cupboard looks sad. You’re lying in the park with your friends, and now Jesus is floating by in the clouds — are they seeing him too?!
Why do we see human faces everywhere?
Until now, it has been unclear as to why the brain processes visual signals and represents them in our mind as human faces. However, researchers from the School of Psychology at the University of Sydney have tried evaluating this phenomenon.
The facial recognition response happens fast, only taking a few hundred milliseconds. From an evolutionary perspective, the researchers suggest that the benefit of “never missing a face” outweighs the error where lifeless objects are seen as faces. Despite knowing that the object you are seeing is not a human face, the perception of a face stays. This is known as “face pareidolia”.
Pareidolia refers to the tendency to impose a meaningful interpretation on an unclear stimulus (刺激物), making one see an object, pattern or meaning when there is none. Pareidolia was originally considered a symptom of mental disorder, but it is now viewed as a normal human tendency.
Pareidolia has been investigated by scientists and has been present in art and literature for a long period of time. In Shakespeare’s Hamlet, Hamlet demonstrates his supposed madness in his exchange with Polonius by telling him that he can see a camel in the sky.
The researchers set out to investigate whether a detected pareidolia face would be cast off as a false detection or be analyzed for a facial expression. The study participants were presented series of faces and asked to rate each face expression on a scale from angry to happy. The series involved a mix of both real and pareidolia faces.
The researchers have found that pareidolia faces are not ignored as false detections, but rather undergo an internal “facial expression analysis”, in the same way a real face would. This is likely because humans are deeply social beings. Additionally, in their analysis of how people judge pareidolia faces, the researchers often observed biased judgments.
So, the next time you see an angry tree, don’t be surprised and remember it’s not personal.
12. The first paragraph is written in a way that ________.
A. presents an unusual scientific finding B. creates a vivid and relatable situation
C. warns readers about potential illusions D. contrasts everyday life with rare events
13. Why might our brains have developed the tendency of “face pareidolia”?
A. Because it helps us to be more creative in art and literature.
B. Because it makes us better at processing information quickly.
C. Because it’s more important to notice all faces than to avoid mistakes.
D. Because seeing faces in lifeless objects is harmless and often enjoyable.
14. Why does the author mention Shakespeare’s Hamlet?
A. To contrast literary interpretation with psychological research.
B. To show that seeing patterns in random objects is a sign of madness.
C. To prove that pareidolia is a modern concept discovered by scientists.
D. To illustrate the phenomenon has long been recognized in human culture.
15. What did the study find about how people see pareidolia faces?
A. They ignore them once they know they aren’t real.
B. They see them as more frightening than real faces.
C. They can easily tell them apart from real human faces.
D. They judge their expressions as if they were real faces.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍面部空想性错视现象的定义、进化成因、文化体现及相关研究发现。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“You’ve stopped at a cafe on your way to work, and the next thing you know, your latte foam is staring at you. You’ve had the same furniture for years, but today your cupboard looks sad. You’re lying in the park with your friends, and now Jesus is floating by in the clouds — are they seeing him too?!(上班路上,你在一家咖啡馆稍作停留,转眼间,竟发现拿铁的奶泡正“盯着”你看。你已经用了好几年的旧家具,可今天却觉得橱柜的模样透着几分忧伤。你和朋友们躺在公园里,抬头却看见耶稣的身影在云间飘过 —— 他们也看到了吗?!)”可知,第一段通过“拿铁泡沫像人脸、橱柜看起来悲伤、云朵中看到耶稣”等场景,营造了生动且易引发共鸣的情境,以此引出“为何到处能看到人脸”的核心问题。故选B项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“From an evolutionary perspective, the researchers suggest that the benefit of “never missing a face” outweighs the error where lifeless objects are seen as faces.(研究人员从进化的角度表示,“绝不错过一张脸”的好处超过了将无生命物体视为脸的错误)”可知,大脑形成面部空想性错视的倾向,是因为留意到所有脸比避免错误更重要。故选C项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第六段“Pareidolia has been investigated by scientists and has been present in art and literature for a long period of time. In Shakespeare’s Hamlet, Hamlet demonstrates his supposed madness in his exchange with Polonius by telling him that he can see a camel in the sky.(空想性错视现象已得到科学家的研究,并且长期存在于艺术与文学作品之中。在莎士比亚的《哈姆雷特》里,哈姆雷特在与波洛尼厄斯的对话中,称自己能在天空中看到一头骆驼,以此来佯装自己的疯癫)”可知,作者提及《哈姆雷特》是为了说明空想性错视现象早已在人类文化中被认知。故选D项。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据第八段中的“The researchers have found that pareidolia faces are not ignored as false detections, but rather undergo an internal “facial expression analysis”, in the same way a real face would.(研究人员发现,空想性错视的脸不会被当作错误检测而忽略,而是会像真实的脸一样,进行内部的“面部表情分析”)”可知,研究发现人们会像判断真实人脸一样,判断空想性错视人脸的表情。故选D项。

【41题详解】
考查介词。句意:例如,在一些城市,路灯杆上安装了监测空气质量的传感器。be equipped with是固定搭配,意为“配备有;安装有”,符合语境。故填with。

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。
Growing up, I wanted to be just like my mom. She was kind and caring, and always made people comfortable in her presence. For years she was a volunteer in our community. I love going to the local nursing home to help with her when I was a child. However, once I became a teenager, I was too caught up in my adolescent world to worry about helping others.
One particular summer day when I was 12, Mom came into my room and told me to get up and meet her at the car. But I had planned to spend the day at the lake with friends. Why did she have to ruin everything? At last, I made my way outside with my mother. Angry and annoyed, I climbed into the car and shoot the door loudly. I sat in silence, too upset to talk. “Tasha, do you know where we are going?” Mom asked calmly. I remained silent. “Sweetheart, we’re going to the children’s shelter. I have been there before and I think it would benefit you,” she explained.
I feel a pain slowly form in my stomach. How was I supposed to help there?
When we reached the shelter, I was rather surprised. As we approached the front door, wind bells played a calming tune while trees and flowers welcomed us. Maybe this wasn’t going to be so.
Mom rang the doorbell. We were led to the front room, where all of the children were playing. Toys were spread out across the floor. I noticed a baby whose body was seriously wounded. Most of the children had noticeable physical scars such as cuts, burns and scratches. What a terrible life they must had had before they moved here! My heart sank. As I was looking around, I felt a gentle pull on my shirt.
注意:

I looked down to find a little girl with brown eyes looking up at me.

I returned to the shelter with mum several times.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
I looked down to see a little girl with brown eyes looking up at me. Her angelic face lighted, although there were some scars on her little arms. “Hi. I’m Ashley. Do you want to play dolls with me?” she asked. I looked over and saw Mom nodding to me with a smile. I bent toward Ashley and whispered, “Sure. I’d love to.” Her tiny hand reached up and took mine, and we walked toward the doll house. Our time together brought her great joy and fun and she also made my day.
I returned to the sheer with Mom several times. During those visits, some of the children including Ashley shared their troubled pasts with me in great detail. I felt sorry for what had happened to them and treasured the friendship between us. I would like to do everything in my power to help the children there. At the same time, I learned to be grateful for all that I had. It was a meaningful time in my young life that I will never forget. It was Mom who taught me the valuable lesson that summer.
