All over the world, libraries have begun the Herculean task of making faithful digital copies of the books, images and recordings that preserve the intellectual effort of humankind.  For armchair scholars, the work promises to bring such a wealth of information to the desktop that the present Internet may seem amateurish in retrospect. …
Librarians see three clear benefits to going digital.  First, it helps them preserve rare and fragile objects without denying access to those who wish to study them.  The British Library, for example, holds the only medieval manuscript of Beowulf in London.  Only qualified scholars were allowed to see it until Kevin S. Kiernan of the University of Kentucky scanned the manuscript with three different light sources (revealing detail not normally apparent to the naked eye) and put the images up on the Internet for anyone to peruse (閱覽).  Tokyo’s National Diet Library is similarly creating highly detailed digital photographs of 1,236 woodblock prints, scrolls and other materials it considers national treasures so that researchers can scrutinize them without handling the originals.
A second benefit is convenience.  Once books are converted to digital form, patrons can retrieve them in seconds rather than minutes.  Several people can simultaneously read the same book or view the same picture.  Clerks are spared the chore of reshelving.  And libraries could conceivably use the Internet to land their virtual collections to those who are unable to visit in person.
The third advantage of electronic copies is that they occupy millimeters of space on a magnetic disk rather than meters on a shelf.  Expanding library buildings is increasingly costly.  The University of California at Berkeley recently spent $46 million on an underground addition to house 1.5 million books – an average cost of $30 per volume.  The price of disk storage, in contrast, has fallen to about $2 per 300-page publication and continues to drop.
小題1:The best title for this passage would be __________.
A．Three Benefits of Libraries
B．Libraries Going Digital
C．Space-saving E-learning
D．Security of Electronic Reading
小題2:Which paragraph(s) in the text offer(s) further explanation of the central idea?
A．Paragraphs 2, 3 and 4B．Paragraphs 3 and 4
C．Paragraphs 2 and 4D．Paragraph 4
小題3:Which one of the following is mentioned as the advantages of E-libraries
A．Old manuscripts can be moved more easily
B．Materials can be examined without being touched
C．Fewer staff will be required in libraries
D．Libraries will be able to move underground
小題4:What does the word ‘scrutinize’ probably mean?
A．keep for a whileB．reprintC．restoreD．examine carefully

America is a country on the move. In unheard of numbers, people of all ages are exercising  their way to better health. According to the latest figures, 59 percent of American adults exercise regularly-up 12 percent from just two years ago and more than double the figure of 25 years ago. Even non-exercisers believe they would be more attractive and confident if they were more active.
It is hard not to get the message. The virtues of physical fitness are shown on magazine covers, postage stamps, and television ads of everything from beauty soaps to travel books. Exercise as a part of daily life did not catch on until the late 1960s when research by military doctors began to show the health benefits of doing regular physical exercises. Growing publicity (宣傳) for races held in American cities helped fuel a strong interest in the ancient sport of running. Although running has leveled off in recent years as Americans have discovered equally rewarding—and sometimes safer-forms of exercise, such as walking and swimming, running remains the most popular form of exercise.
As the popularity of exercise continues to mount, so does scientific evidence of its health benefits. The key to fitness is exercising the major muscle groups vigorously (強(qiáng)有力地) enough to approximately double the heart rate and keep it doubled for 20 to 30 minutes at a time. Doing such physical exercises three times or more a week will produce considerable improvements in physical health in about three months.
小題1:It can be learnt from the passage that the health benefits of exercise ___________.
A．a(chǎn)re to be further studied
B．a(chǎn)re yet to be proved
C．a(chǎn)re self evident
D．a(chǎn)re supported by scientific evidence
小題2:A growing interest in sports developed after ______________.
A．a(chǎn)n increasing number of races were held in American cities
B．research showed their health benefits
C．scientific evidence of health benefits was shown on TV ads
D．people got the message from magazine covers and postage stamps
小題3:Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A．Running—A Popular Form of Sport
B．Scientific Evidence of Health Benefits
C．Different Forms of Exercise
D．Exercise—The Road to Health
小題4:Which of the following is closest in meaning to the phrase “l(fā)eveled off” in the paragraph 2?

A disheveled (頭發(fā)凌亂的) man appeared in court Thursday on charges of murdering a Chinese woman whose fight with her attacker was seen on webcam(攝像頭) by her boyfriend in China. Police refused to release any details about the crime or its possible motive.
The body of York University student Liu Qian, 23, of Beijing, was found Friday in her apartment in Toronto a few hours after her boyfriend witnessed the attack, police said.
She was found undressed from the waist down but there were no obvious signs of sexual attack or trauma (創(chuàng)傷) severe enough to kill her. Police say it may be weeks before the results of an autopsy (尸體解剖) are known.
Brian Dickson, 29, stood before the court in a wrinkled white shirt and blue jeans as a charge of first- degree murder was read out. He did not enter a plea. His case was held over until April 26.
Dickson was arrested Wednesday. Police only announced his name and his age and asked the media not to publish any photos of Dickson, saying it could compromise the investigation. Toronto police spokesman Tony Vella declined to respond to the request further.
Liu’s father, Liu Jianhui, who arrived from China after being informed of his daughter’s death, thanked authorities for their quick action.
“I sincerely thank the people concerned with my daughter’s case,” he told reporters after the arrest. “Our daughter was studying very hard.”
Police released no motive or details about Dickson, but one friend described the Toronto man as an aspiring actor.
Patricia Tomasi, a friend of Dickson’s, told The Associated Press that she acted in a play at a local theater in Toronto with Dickson in 2007.
“He doesn’t seem like the type but that’s what they always say,” Tomasi said. “He’s tall with boyish good looks. I don’t know much about him except that he wanted to be an actor.”
Dickson attended York University where he studied global politics, but did not earn a degree from there.
He later worked for the Atlantic Council of Canada (ACC), where he served as an assistant to the president Juilie Lindhout. According to his biography on a newsletter from the Atlantic Council of Canada, Dickson has also been a running instructor and has been involved with Developments in Literacy, a Pakistani aid organization that raises money for children in Pakistan.
A statement from the Atlantic Council of Canada on Thursday said it was not council policy to comment on staff, but it confirmed that Dickson had been an intern(實習(xí)生) with the council from September 29, 2008, until March 27, 2009.
Liu was chatting with her boyfriend, Meng Xianchao, by webcam at about 1 am. Friday when a man knocked on the door, police said.
Meng reported seeing a struggle break out between the two before Liu’s webcam was shut off. Meng contacted other friends in Toronto who in turn called police.
The victim’s father, Liu Jianhui, said his daughter studied at Beijing City University before moving to Canada, where she met Meng.
Liu Qian’s laptop computer, webcam and mobile phone were taken from the apartment the night of the attack, police said. Police said the online chat was on a live streaming camera and was not recorded, though investigators were trying to figure out if there was any way they could recover it.
York University, whose campus is located near one of Toronto’s rougher neighborhoods, is one of Canada’s largest universities with more than 53,000 undergraduate and graduate students. About 3,200 of York’s students come from more than 150 foreign countries, the university’s website says.
小題1:Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A．York University students come from over 150 foreign countries.
B．Dickson was a graduate of York University where he studied global politics.
C．The passage does not mention the reason why Dickson murdered Liu Qian.
D．ACC wouldn’t make any comments on staff even if they committed a crime.
小題2:The underlined word in paragraph 8 probably means ______.
A．a(chǎn) successful actorB．a(chǎn) gifted actor
C．a(chǎn) common actorD．a(chǎn)n ambitious actor
小題3:Why did police ask the media not to publish any photos of Dickson?
A．Worrying about bad influences on the investigation.
B．Not intending to give out any information about Dickson.
C．Not confirming whether Dickson had killed Liu Qian.
D．Wanting to protect their citizen for fear of losing face.
小題4:What can be inferred from the text?
A．Developments in Literacy raises money for all children
B．Seeing the struggle, Meng contacted Toronto police.
C．Dickson had no bad records before the murder.
D．Investigators could recover the chat record online.

You probably know you should say "please" and "thank you" at restaurants. You probably know the rules of a library. You know you should respect and be nice to your classmates. But do you have music manners?
Keep It Down! You have to notice the volume of your music. You should not play your music so loud that everyone around you can hear it. Some people might even get angry. Usually, when you play the music loud on an MP3 player, other people can't hear the words of the song. They just hear a loud sound. No one wants to listen to this. Very loud music can also be bad for your ears. So even if you are alone when listening to your MP3 players, you shouldn't turn it up too high.
Take Them Off! You need to know when to turn your MP3 off and put it away. Libraries, and schools don't allow MP3 players. There are other places, like museums, that don't have rules, but it would be rude to have your MP3 player on. Sometimes, it doesn't make sense to listen on your MP3 player at event. Why would you listen to music at a play, a movie or a sporting event? You would miss what is going on and others would wonder why you even came.
Take One Out! Once in a while it's okay just to take out one earphone and not the other. Imagine you are listening on your MP3 player when someone asks you the way. It would not be rude to take out one earphone, tell him the way, and put back the earphone and continue listening. You can also do this when you order food at a fast-food restaurant or when you answer the telephone
It's Your Choice! There are times when you need to decide what is best. For example, some people can listen to music on their MP3 players when reading books, while others think it is disturbing. In cases like this, you need to do what seems right for you.
小題1:The underlined word "volume" in Paragraph 2 probably means "_________."
A．the type of music
B．the length of a song
C．the amount of a sound
D．the color of an MP3 player
小題2:We should turn down the music when we are alone because loud music_________.
A．may annoy others
B．can hurt our ears
C．is bad for MP3 players
D．will make us tired
小題3:If we listen to our MP3 player at a play, _________.
A．the theatre won't allow it
B．the actors will get angry
C．others won't hear the play well
D．we may miss part of the play
小題4:We can take one earphone out when we _________.
A．show others the way

2010 was a good year for American farmers. They earned about eighty-two billion dollars. That is almost one-third more than that they earned last year. And it is twenty-six percent higher than the ten-year average. Values for grain and oilseed crops are up about three percent from last year. The value of animal production is up by almost seven percent.
In 2011, farm exports are expected to break the all-time high set in 2008.The Agriculture Department says exports in 2011 could top one hundred and twenty-six billion dollars. The largest buyer of agricultural products is expected to be Canada. But farm exports to China are predicted to come within five hundred million dollars of Canadian purchases. Secretary Vilsack says countries in Southeast Asia and the Middle East are also buying more from American farmers.
Poor growing conditions overseas played an important part in higher prices for American crops in 2010.Charlotte Hebe brand is chief executive of the International Food and Agricultural Trade Policy Council in Washington. She said drought(干旱)conditions had a big effect over the summer. She said,“There were horrible weather problems, not just in Russia but also in some of the other former Soviet Union countries.”
Wheat prices rose after Russia stopped wheat exports,although Russia later eased the ban(禁令).“Wheat used to be America’s top crop. What’s interesting,though,is that wheat production has actually become less over the past few years because corn has become the most popular crop,”said economist Charlotte Hebebrand.
Corn is mostly fed to animals. But Miss Hebebrand said with the recent increase in wheat prices, American farmers might plant more wheat again. Corn and wheat are the two largest crops supported by the government.
小題1:We know that compared to 2009,in 2010 American farmers——.
A．planted less cornB．planted morn crops

A． Agriculture exports will continue to increase.

小題3:What is implied in Paragraph 3?
A． America farming also was greatly affected in 2010
B． Russia was not the country most affected by drought in 2010
C． Weather problems helped raise prices for American crops in 2010
D． American crops were the most expensive around the world in 2010
小題4:We can infer that in the past few years American farmers——
A． reduced crop exports
B． increased corn production
C． increased wheat production
D． increased investment in farming
小題5:According to what Miss Hebebrand said, we know American farmers will ——
