In China, more and more people read at community reading rooms. For example, Luyang district of Hefei has built more than 100 reading rooms in recent years, so people can enjoy the fun of reading at their doorsteps. In the UK, 3,718 libraries provide different kinds of services, including lending out books and offering a free, warm and safe space for people to go to. Some libraries make it easier to borrow books: for example, by delivering books to library users’ doorsteps.
Libraries do more than house books. They provide people with other services and tools, such as computers, and create a sense of community. However, many libraries in the UK are at risk of closing because they can’t afford the cost of operating. Library fines (罚款) are carried out when people don’t return books on time.
Many people in the UK believe that fines are needed because they help libraries improve services, and prevent people from returning books late. Without fines, people might be more relaxed and many more books could be returned late. After all, some books are so popular that there can be a waiting list for people who want to read it next. Libraries only work if people borrowing books return them on time, ready for other library users to enjoy.
However, one third of Britain’s libraries are fine-free now. This means some library users who don’t return books by the date agreed are not charged (收费). Besides, people who don’t have much money really depend on libraries to help them save some money, not spend it. Many libraries have got rid of fines all together, which makes libraries more welcoming environments.
So, should libraries stop fining people? See what we find in other countries.
39. What is paragraph 1 mainly about?
A. Libraries are facing more challenges. B. Libraries are popular with young readers.
C. It’s convenient for people to read nowadays. D. It’s not easy to find a place to relax after work.
40. Why are many libraries in the UK at risk of closing?
A. Some people break the library rules. B. They can’t afford the cost of operating.
C. They are short of books and computers. D. More community libraries have been built.
41. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. Library fines can be stressful to readers. B. Libraries need money to improve services.
C. There are different views on library fines in Britain. D. People prefer reading in community reading rooms.
42. What might the author continue talking about?

Classical Chinese gardens are purposely designed so that no matter where you stand, you can never see the whole thing at once. The mystery and the discovery have helped the classical gardens of China, especially those in Suzhou, remain popular attractions after all these years.
Put simply, the aim of a classical Chinese garden is to deepen one’s admiration of nature. Besides just relaxing in nature, the classical Chinese gardens have another purpose—to inspire artistic expression like poetry, literature or painting. Nearly all Chinese gardens feature the things in the list below.
Water
Water is a necessary thing that no Chinese garden can go without. The water in a garden typically symbolizes a lake or even the ocean. Water can even symbolize communication, movement and dreams.
Rocks
Large rocks typically symbolize mountains. Many of the rocks in the Suzhou gardens come from Lake Tai, having been shaped by the flow of water over thousands of years. Smaller rocks are often on show in the fancy halls at a garden’s entrance. This shows the appreciation the garden owners had of these rocks.
Plants
You can’t have a garden without plants. Different plants and flowers are used for either symbolic or aesthetic (美学的) purpose—or both. Bamboo, for example, represents strength. Flowers, meanwhile, add color to a garden, with each carrying a symbolic meaning of its own.
Gates & Windows
Gates of different shapes divide different parts of a garden. The most common type of gate, the moon gate, is simply a circle. Windows are placed throughout the garden to allow the passage of light. You can also catch a glimpse of interesting trees or rocks on the other side from the window.
Pavilions (亭)
In Chinese gardens, pavilions are usually placed in some of the best viewing places. Sometimes a pavilion is placed where one can see the reflection (倒影) of the moon at night, or in the best place to listen to the sound of rain on the leaves above. In the past, pavilions were also used as places for garden owners to reflect, paint and write poems.
1. What does the underlined word “those” in paragraph 1 refer to?
A. Plants. B. Paintings. C. Classical gardens. D. Mystery and discovery.
2. What’s the purpose of this text?
A. To list some plants and flowers. B. To introduce classical Chinese gardens.
C. To explain the history of classical gardens. D. To compare different classical gardens in China.
3. Which of the following best explains “glimpse” underlined in paragraph 6?
A. Look. B. Visit. C. Guess. D. Feeling.
4. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Nature Speaks for Itself B. Chinese Gardens and Western Gardens
C. Getting Lost in Classical Chinese Gardens D. Finding Ways to Modern Arts and Buildings

Have you ever seen a penguin? People who see penguins for the first time are often surprised. Penguins are not afraid of humans. They do not run away like other wild animals. Instead, they walk slowly toward you with great curiosity (好奇). Why do penguins act like this?
An interesting idea says that in penguins’ world, they are the only animals that walk on two legs in Antarctica (南极洲). So when they see a large animal walking on two legs, they just think you are another penguin—just bigger and a little strange.
Because they have no fear of us, there are strict rules to protect them. Visitors should stay at least five meters away from penguins. But if a penguin walks to you, stand still or move back slowly. Never touch them or give them food.
Why are these rules so strict? First, humans may carry germs (病菌) that can make penguins sick. Second, if penguins get used to humans, they may walk up to other people who are not so kind. This could put them in danger.
So next time you see a penguin walking toward you, remember: in its eyes, you are just a big, strange penguin. But you are a guest with an important job—to protect them.
1. According to the passage, what do penguins think humans are?
A. Dangerous animals. B. Big birds. C. Good friends. D. Strange penguins.
2. What should you do if a penguin walks toward you?
A. Run away quickly. B. Touch it gently.
C. Stand still or move back. D. Give it some food.
3. Which paragraph(s) answer(s) the question raised at the end of the first paragraph?
A. Paragraph 2. B. Paragraph 5. C. Paragraphs 2~4. D. Paragraphs 2~5.

Sanxingdui is an archaeological site (考古遗址) located in Guanghan, Sichuan. Between 1600 and 1100 BC, Sanxingdui was the capital of the ancient kingdom of Shu, which built itself a great Bronze Age civilization (青铜时代文明). There are so many mysteries about it.
The bronze man, standing 2. 6 meters tall, is one of its biggest mysteries. Researchers have suggested that the man’s height shows his social position, probably as a king or a chief priest (大祭司), or both. Others believe that it may once have been placed on an altar (祭坛) and admired by the people of Sanxingdui.
With arms raised in front and fingers of both hands circled to form a hole in the middle, the man had almost certainly been holding something that is likely to have been lost. But what was the man holding? This is a question for anyone who has ever seen him. “It could be a gold scepter (权杖),” says Hu Jialin, a famous researcher on Sanxingdui. He explains that because a month before the discovery of the bronze man in August 1986, a 1. 42-meter-long gold scepter was discovered from the site. Weighing about half a kilogram, the scepter was made up of a thin piece of gold covering around a wooden stick. Gold was the choice for the ruling class (统治阶级) in the ancient time, and scepters were a symbol of power.
But some researchers disagree. They also gave their reasons. What was exactly the bronze man holding? The mystery remains.
1. What could the bronze man be according to the passage?
A. A guard. B. A tool maker. C. A king or a chief priest.
2. How long is the scepter according to the passage?
A. 2. 6 meters. B. 1, 600 meters. C. 1. 42 meters.
3. What’s the theme of the passage?
A. Culture. B. Travel. C. Technology.
4. What can we infer from the passage?
A. The bronze man must have held a scepter.
B. The researcher has found out the mysteries.
C. Many mysteries about Sanxingdui are waiting to be answered.

Classical Chinese gardens are purposely designed so that no matter where you stand, you can never see the whole thing at once. The mystery and the discovery have helped the classical gardens of China, especially those in Suzhou, remain popular attractions after all these years.
Put simply, the aim of a classical Chinese garden is to deepen one’s admiration of nature. Besides just relaxing in nature, the classical Chinese gardens have another purpose—to inspire artistic expression like poetry, literature or painting. Nearly all Chinese gardens feature the things in the list below.
Water
Water is a necessary thing that no Chinese garden can go without. The water in a garden typically symbolizes a lake or even the ocean. Water can even symbolize communication, movement and dreams.
Rocks
Large rocks typically symbolize mountains. Many of the rocks in the Suzhou gardens come from Lake Tai, having been shaped by the flow of water over thousands of years. Smaller rocks are often on show in the fancy halls at a garden’s entrance. This shows the appreciation the garden owners had of these rocks.
Plants
You can’t have a garden without plants. Different plants and flowers are used for either symbolic or aesthetic (美学的) purpose—or both. Bamboo, for example, represents strength. Flowers, meanwhile, add color to a garden, with each carrying a symbolic meaning of its own.
Gates & Windows
Gates of different shapes divide different parts of a garden. The most common type of gate, the moon gate, is simply a circle. Windows are placed throughout the garden to allow the passage of light. You can also catch a glimpse of interesting trees or rocks on the other side from the window.
Pavilions (亭)
In Chinese gardens, pavilions are usually placed in some of the best viewing places. Sometimes a pavilion is placed where one can see the reflection (倒影) of the moon at night, or in the best place to listen to the sound of rain on the leaves above. In the past, pavilions were also used as places for garden owners to reflect, paint and write poems.

Have you ever seen a penguin? People who see penguins for the first time are often surprised. Penguins are not afraid of humans. They do not run away like other wild animals. Instead, they walk slowly toward you with great curiosity (好奇). Why do penguins act like this?
An interesting idea says that in penguins’ world, they are the only animals that walk on two legs in Antarctica (南极洲). So when they see a large animal walking on two legs, they just think you are another penguin—just bigger and a little strange.
Because they have no fear of us, there are strict rules to protect them. Visitors should stay at least five meters away from penguins. But if a penguin walks to you, stand still or move back slowly. Never touch them or give them food.
Why are these rules so strict? First, humans may carry germs (病菌) that can make penguins sick. Second, if penguins get used to humans, they may walk up to other people who are not so kind. This could put them in danger.
So next time you see a penguin walking toward you, remember: in its eyes, you are just a big, strange penguin. But you are a guest with an important job—to protect them.
1. According to the passage, what do penguins think humans are?
A. Dangerous animals. B. Big birds. C. Good friends. D. Strange penguins.
2. What should you do if a penguin walks toward you?
A. Run away quickly. B. Touch it gently.
C. Stand still or move back. D. Give it some food.
3. Which paragraph(s) answer(s) the question raised at the end of the first paragraph?
A. Paragraph 2. B. Paragraph 5. C. Paragraphs 2~4. D. Paragraphs 2~5.
【答案】1. D 2. C 3. A

Sanxingdui is an archaeological site (考古遗址) located in Guanghan, Sichuan. Between 1600 and 1100 BC, Sanxingdui was the capital of the ancient kingdom of Shu, which built itself a great Bronze Age civilization (青铜时代文明). There are so many mysteries about it.
The bronze man, standing 2. 6 meters tall, is one of its biggest mysteries. Researchers have suggested that the man’s height shows his social position, probably as a king or a chief priest (大祭司), or both. Others believe that it may once have been placed on an altar (祭坛) and admired by the people of Sanxingdui.
With arms raised in front and fingers of both hands circled to form a hole in the middle, the man had almost certainly been holding something that is likely to have been lost. But what was the man holding? This is a question for anyone who has ever seen him. “It could be a gold scepter (权杖),” says Hu Jialin, a famous researcher on Sanxingdui. He explains that because a month before the discovery of the bronze man in August 1986, a 1. 42-meter-long gold scepter was discovered from the site. Weighing about half a kilogram, the scepter was made up of a thin piece of gold covering around a wooden stick. Gold was the choice for the ruling class (统治阶级) in the ancient time, and scepters were a symbol of power.
But some researchers disagree. They also gave their reasons. What was exactly the bronze man holding? The mystery remains.
1. What could the bronze man be according to the passage?
A. A guard. B. A tool maker. C. A king or a chief priest.
2. How long is the scepter according to the passage?
A. 2. 6 meters. B. 1, 600 meters. C. 1. 42 meters.
3. What’s the theme of the passage?
A. Culture. B. Travel. C. Technology.
4. What can we infer from the passage?
A. The bronze man must have held a scepter.
B. The researcher has found out the mysteries.
C. Many mysteries about Sanxingdui are waiting to be answered.
