Reading Comprehension (Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each of the passages is followed by 5 questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.)

In your car you may have a cell phone, a telephone also known as a mobile phone that you can carry around and use anywhere. On your way, you may feel coordinated and enjoy your hands-free phone talking while driving. But recent studies suggest that it isn’t the dialing or the arm waving that makes driving while talking on a cell phone dangerous. It is the yakking itself—or more precisely, the continuous conversation with someone who isn’t present—that makes. David Strayer, a Utah psychologist, says “Your driving performance while talking on a cell phone is weakened at levels comparable to, or worse than, driving with a blood alcohol level of 0.08,” which is the legal limit in most states of America.

Using a driving-training simulator, Strayer and his colleagues compared the attention levels and response time of 110 drivers in various situations. In dense traffic, cell phone users were about 20 percent slower to respond to sudden hazards than other drivers, and they were about twice as likely to drive into the back of a braking car in front of them. “Cell phone drivers are obtaining less than 50 percent of the visual information that non-cell drivers are getting,” says Strayer. “Looking and seeing are not one and the same.” By contrast, the researchers found that listening to the radio or conversing with passengers is not as hazardous. “When a dangerous situation arises, the driver and passengers put their conversation on pause,” Strayer says.

Whether talking with a passenger or someone on a cell phone, however, people are less able to recall the details of a conversation carried on while driving. “So it might not be good for your economic health to discuss investment strategies with your agent while either of you is driving.” Strayer adds lastly.

16、According to the recent studies, which of the following makes driving dangerous?

·A.A cell phone dialing by the driver.

·B.The driver’s endless arm waving.

·C.The driver’s continuous cell phone talking.

·D.The absence of another phone speaker.

正確答案：

C

細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)文章第一段第三句和第四句可知，最近的研究表明邊開車邊在電話里交談的危險(xiǎn)不在于撥號(hào)或者揮舞手臂的行為，而在于你與不在場(chǎng)的人不斷交談。選項(xiàng)C(司機(jī)不停地在電話里交談)符合文章內(nèi)容。選項(xiàng)A(司機(jī)撥打手機(jī)的行為)和選項(xiàng)B(司機(jī)不停地?fù)]舞手臂的行為)均與文章內(nèi)容不符。選項(xiàng)D(電話里交談的另一個(gè)人不在場(chǎng))文中未提及。故本題選C。

[參考譯文]

在車?yán)锬憧赡苡幸粋€(gè)手機(jī)，或者一個(gè)可以隨身攜帶、隨地使用移動(dòng)電話。在路上，你可能覺得一邊開車一邊開著免提打電話沒什么不方便。但最近的研究表明邊開車邊在電話里交談的危險(xiǎn)不在于撥號(hào)或者揮舞手臂的行為，而在于你的喋喋不休，或者更確切地說，是與不在場(chǎng)的人不斷交談。猶他州的心理學(xué)家戴維·斯特萊爾說：“你邊打電話邊開車時(shí)的駕駛水平會(huì)下降，與血液酒精濃度為0.08時(shí)的水平相當(dāng)，或者更糟。”這個(gè)濃度值是美國大多數(shù)州的法定上限。

利用駕駛訓(xùn)練模擬器，斯特萊爾和他的同事比較了110名司機(jī)在不同情況下的注意力水平和反應(yīng)時(shí)間。在交通擁擠的情況下，使用手機(jī)的司機(jī)對(duì)突發(fā)危險(xiǎn)的反應(yīng)比其他司機(jī)慢了大約20%，而且前車剎車時(shí)他們撞上去的可能性是其他司機(jī)的兩倍。“打電話的司機(jī)所獲得的視覺信息不到不打電話的司機(jī)的一半，”斯特萊爾說，“看和看到是不一樣的。”相比之下，研究人員發(fā)現(xiàn)，聽收音機(jī)或與乘客交談并不那么危險(xiǎn)?！爱?dāng)危險(xiǎn)情況出現(xiàn)時(shí)，司機(jī)和乘客會(huì)暫停談話?！彼固厝R爾說。

然而，不管是跟乘客交談還是和電話里的人交談，人們很少能回憶起開車時(shí)的談話細(xì)節(jié)?！爱?dāng)和你的經(jīng)紀(jì)人談投資策略時(shí)，如果你們中有任何一方在開車，這對(duì)你的經(jīng)濟(jì)情況是很不利的?！彼固厝R爾最后補(bǔ)充說。

17、Which of the following does Strayer want to stress most in paragraph 1?

·A.The driving performance may be weakened by a cell phone talking.

·B.The driving performance may be affected by a high blood alcohol level.

·C.Drivers are not to drive over the cell phone or after drinking.

·D.A cell phone talking is no less hazardous than alcohol in driving.

正確答案：

D

推理題。文章第一段最后一句中提到了猶他州的心理學(xué)家戴維·斯特萊爾的觀點(diǎn)，他認(rèn)為邊打電話邊開車時(shí)的駕駛表現(xiàn)被削弱了，與血液酒精濃度為0.08時(shí)的水平相當(dāng)，或者更糟。因此選項(xiàng)D(開車時(shí)打電話的危險(xiǎn)不亞于酒后駕車)符合文意。選項(xiàng)A(手機(jī)通話會(huì)降低駕駛性能)和選項(xiàng)B(血液酒精含量高會(huì)影響駕駛性能)是客觀事實(shí)，文中對(duì)這兩種情況的比較主要是為了強(qiáng)調(diào)開車時(shí)手機(jī)通話的危險(xiǎn)性。選項(xiàng)C(司機(jī)們打電話時(shí)或酒后不能駕車)不是斯特萊爾想要強(qiáng)調(diào)的內(nèi)容。故本題選D。

18、The experiment shows all the following EXCEPT that _________.

·A.the cell phone drivers get less than half of the visual information

·B.the cell phone drivers are twice as likely to hit the front cars

·C.the cell phone drivers’ response to sudden dangers is slower

·D.the 110 drivers were reluctant to take part in the experiments

正確答案：

D

細(xì)節(jié)題。文章第二段提到了斯特萊爾和他的同事做的一個(gè)實(shí)驗(yàn)，比較了110名司機(jī)在不同情況下的注意力水平和反應(yīng)時(shí)間。選項(xiàng)A(打電話的司機(jī)獲得的視覺信息不到不打電話的司機(jī)的一半)、選項(xiàng)B(打電話的司機(jī)撞到前面車輛的幾率是其他司機(jī)的兩倍)和選項(xiàng)C(打電話的司機(jī)對(duì)危險(xiǎn)情況的反應(yīng)更慢)均與原文內(nèi)容相符。選項(xiàng)D(這110名司機(jī)不愿意參加實(shí)驗(yàn))文中未提及。故本題選D。

19、Strayer discourages drivers from talking about business on cell phones while driving because _________.

·A.they tend to forget the details of a conversation

·B.both the driver and his agent happen to be driving

·C.it might not be good for the driver’s memory

·D.the other passengers would overhear the conversation

正確答案：

A

細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)文章最后一段可知，不管是跟乘客交談還是和電話里的人交談，人們很少能回憶起開車時(shí)的談話細(xì)節(jié)。接著斯特萊爾舉了一個(gè)例子，如果和經(jīng)紀(jì)人談投資策略時(shí)，其中任何一方在開車，都對(duì)你的經(jīng)濟(jì)狀況不利。選項(xiàng)A(他們往往會(huì)忘記談話的細(xì)節(jié))符合文章內(nèi)容。選項(xiàng)B(司機(jī)和他的經(jīng)紀(jì)人正好都在開車)沒說到重點(diǎn)，選項(xiàng)C(這樣對(duì)司機(jī)的記憶力不好)和選項(xiàng)D(其他乘客會(huì)聽到談話內(nèi)容)文中均未提及。故本題選A。

20、It can be inferred that the author’s attitude toward cell phone yakking is _________.

·A.approving

·B.disapproving

·C.encouraging

·D.indifferent

正確答案：

B

態(tài)度題。文章第一段提出，開車打電話真正的危險(xiǎn)在于與不在場(chǎng)的人不斷交談。接著用斯特萊爾的實(shí)驗(yàn)證明開車時(shí)打電話的危害。所以作者對(duì)打電話時(shí)的喋喋不休持反對(duì)態(tài)度。故本題選B。

The most famous collections of fairy tales are the ones by Jakob and Wilhelm Grimm. The Grimms published their first fairy-tale collection in 1812. They didn’t think they were writing for children. They thought they were preserving disappearing German folk culture. Their first edition (版本) was a scholarly book that carefully recorded the oral tales. They were surprised when some of their early readers suggested that the stories might be interesting to children.

But the Grimms needed money. They had made a bad deal with their publisher and received little payment for their first book. At one point Wilhelm complained there wasn’t a chair in his house one could sit on without worrying it would break. So he took the hint and set to work to make a book that would be suitable for children. He selected a few of the tales, made them much longer, and polished up the language. He didn’t add morals, but he did slip in character judgments and moralizing comments wherever he could.

The Grimms’ Fairy Tales also have one characteristic that would seem to make them unsuitable for children. Many of them include violent incidents. In Hanseland Grete, an old woman is burned to death in an oven, and in Little Red Riding Hood a child is eaten by a wolf. When he revised the tales for children, Wilhelm Grimm retained the violence. In fact, he sometimes even ramped it up. For example, in the first edition of the tales, Cindrealla forgives her sisters at the end. It’s only in the second edition, the one intended for children, that her birds peck (啄) out their eyes.

Why, then, have the Grimms’ fairy tales become classic of children’s literature, so much so that it is hard to imagine a child who doesn’t know Cinderella’s story or Snow White’s?

One answer is that only a few of the tales survived into modern times. The first edition of the Grimms’ fairy tales had 210 tales. By 1825 it was down to 50. And today only a dozen or so of the tales are often reprinted in children’s collections. But the deeper answer is that the tales that have lasted are magical adventures that help children deal with the struggles and fears of their everyday lives.

21、Why did Wilhelm Grimm set out to adapt his book for children?

·A.To deal with readers’ complaints.

·B.To improve his financial situation.

·C.At the request of his publisher.

·D.To preserve the ancient stories in print.

正確答案：

B

推理題。文章第二段前四句提到，格林兄弟需要錢，威廉又一次抱怨說他的房子里沒有一張完好的椅子，所以他決定接受讀者的建議，開始著手寫一本適合孩子們讀的書。選項(xiàng)B(為了改善他的經(jīng)濟(jì)狀況)符合文章內(nèi)容。選項(xiàng)A(為了平息讀者的抱怨)、選項(xiàng)C(應(yīng)出版商的要求)和選項(xiàng)D(為了保護(hù)已出版的古老故事)文中均未提及。故本題選B。

[參考譯文]

最著名的童話集是雅各布·格林和威廉·格林兄弟倆寫的童話集。格林兄弟在1812年出版了他們的第一本童話集。他們并不覺得自己是在為孩子寫作，他們認(rèn)為他們是在保護(hù)即將消失的德國民間文化。他們的第一個(gè)版本是一本學(xué)術(shù)著作，仔細(xì)記錄了這些口頭故事。當(dāng)他們的一些早期讀者建議說這些故事可能對(duì)孩子們來說很有趣時(shí)，他們感到驚訝。

但是格林兄弟需要錢。他們與出版商做了一筆不劃算的交易，第一本書沒有得到多少報(bào)酬。有一次，威廉抱怨說，他的房子里沒有一張可以坐上去而不用擔(dān)心它會(huì)壞掉的椅子。于是他接受了讀者的建議，開始著手寫一本適合孩子們讀的書。他挑選了幾個(gè)故事，增加了內(nèi)容，潤色語言。他沒有增加故事的寓意，但是卻不失時(shí)機(jī)地加入了人物角色的判斷和道德評(píng)論。

格林童話有一個(gè)特點(diǎn)，使它們不太適合孩子。很多童話都有暴力元素。在《海賽爾與格蕾特》里，一個(gè)老婦人被燒死在一個(gè)烤箱里;在《小紅帽》里，一個(gè)小孩兒被狼吃掉了。威廉為孩子們改寫這些故事時(shí)保留了這些暴力元素。事實(shí)上，他甚至自己加入了一些暴力情節(jié)。比如，在第一版童話里，辛德瑞拉最后原諒了她的姐姐們。而只在第二版，也就是為孩子們寫的那一版里，她的鳥啄出了她們的眼睛。

那么，為什么格林童話成為了如此經(jīng)典的兒童文學(xué)，以至于很難想象竟會(huì)有孩子不知道辛德瑞拉或者白雪公主的故事?

原因之一是只有一小部分故事流傳至今。第一版格林童話有210個(gè)故事。到了1825年，就只剩下50個(gè)。而如今，只有十幾個(gè)故事經(jīng)常在兒童收藏本中重印。更深層次的原因是那些流傳下來的都是神奇的冒險(xiǎn)故事，能幫助孩子們應(yīng)對(duì)日常生活中的困難，戰(zhàn)勝恐懼。

22、When revising the fairy tales, Wilhelm did all of the following EXCEPT _________.

·A.adding character judgments

·B.making the tales much longer

·C.deleting the violent scenes

·D.polishing up the language

正確答案：

C

細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)文章第二段最后兩句和第三段第四句可知，選項(xiàng)A(加入了角色判斷)、選項(xiàng)B(使故事內(nèi)容更長)和選項(xiàng)D(潤色語言)都是威廉在改寫故事時(shí)所做的。選項(xiàng)C(刪掉了暴力情節(jié))與文中所述不符。故本題選C。

23、What does the expression “ramped it up” in paragraph 3 probably mean?

·A.Started.

·B.Allowed.

·C.Classified.

·D.Increased.

正確答案：

D

語義題。根據(jù)文章第三段最后兩句可知，第一版的童話中，辛德瑞拉最后原諒了她的姐姐們，而第二版中她的鳥啄出了她姐姐們的眼睛。由此可知，第二版中威廉自己加入了暴力情節(jié)。選項(xiàng)D(增加)符合文意。故本題選D。

24、Which of the following statements about the Grimms’ fairy tales is true according to the passage?

·A.They were originally intended to be children’s stories.

·B.Generally speaking, the tales that have endured can help children deal with the challenges life bring to them.

·C.A large number of the tales made it to the modern age.

·D.They are less violent than the children’s stories being written today.

正確答案：

B

細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)文章最后一段最后一句可知，格林童話成為經(jīng)典兒童文學(xué)更深層次的原因是那些流傳下來的故事都是關(guān)于神奇冒險(xiǎn)的，能幫助孩子們應(yīng)對(duì)日常生活中的困難和戰(zhàn)勝恐懼。選項(xiàng)B(總的來說，那些流傳下來的故事能幫助孩子們處理生活帶給他們的挑戰(zhàn))符合文意。根據(jù)文章第一段第三句和第四句可知，選項(xiàng)A(它們?cè)臼莾和适?錯(cuò)誤。根據(jù)文章最后一段倒數(shù)第二句可知，選項(xiàng)C(大量的故事流傳到了今天)錯(cuò)誤。選項(xiàng)D(它們沒有今天所寫的兒童故事那么暴力)文中未提及。故本題選B。

25、What is the passage mainly concerned with?

·A.History of fairy tales.

·B.Ways to preserve the oral tradition.

·C.The Grimms’ fairy tales.

·D.Violence in fairy tales.

正確答案：

C

主旨題。文章開篇指出最著名的童話集就是格林童話。接著介紹了格林童話創(chuàng)作的初衷，以及變成兒童文學(xué)的原因和過程。最后介紹了格林童話的特點(diǎn)以及成為兒童文學(xué)經(jīng)典的深層次的原因。選項(xiàng)C(格林童話)符合文意。選項(xiàng)A(童話的歷史)、選項(xiàng)B(保護(hù)口頭傳統(tǒng)文化的方法)和選項(xiàng)D(童話中的暴力)均不是文章的主要內(nèi)容。故本題選C。

As the school year kicks off, parents are once again struggling to cajole (哄騙) and, if need be, drag their exhausted teens out of bed. That image may make you laugh, but lack of sleep is no joke. Teenagers who don’t get enough rest have more learning, health, behavior and mood problems than students who get at least nine hours a night. Long-term lack of sleep is tied to heart disease, overweight, depression and a shortened life. Lack of sleep can be especially deadly for teens; car accidents are the leading cause of death among teenagers, and safety experts believe sleepy driving is a major factor.

Unfortunately, few teenagers get the sleep they need. In a survey of middle- and high-school students, University of Colorado researchers found that 82 percent said they woke up tired and unrefreshed, and more than half had trouble concentrating during the day at least once a week.

Blame multitasking for some of this. Many students are juggling after-school activities, homework and part-time jobs. Even when they manage to fulfill these obligations by a reasonable hour, television, the internet, video games, phone calls and text message to friends often keep them awake deep into the night. Taking soda and energy drinks late in the day and going to late-night parties on weekends add to sleep debt. Biology also works against teenagers’ sleep. Their body’s internal clock, which controls when a person starts to feel tired, shifts after puberty (青春期), making it hard for most teens to fall asleep before 11 pm. Class usually begins before 8:15 am, with many high schools starting at 7:15 am. To get to school on time, most teens have to get up by 6:30 am, guaranteeing they’ll be sleep-deprived during the week. Teens often sleep much later on weekends to catch up, making it even harder to fall asleep on Sunday night and wake up Monday morning. Playing catch-up on weekends also doesn’t help teens stay refreshed when they need it most: during the week at school.

Since the 1990s, middle and high school in more than two dozen states have experimented with later school start times. The results have been encouraging: more sleep, increased attendance, better grades and fewer driving accidents. But most school still start early, meaning teens have their work cut out for them if they want to get enough sleep.

26、According to the passage, poor sleep can be linked to all of the following EXCEPT _________.

·A.heart disease

·B.car accidents

·C.skin problems

·D.poor concentration

正確答案：

C

細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)文章第一段最后兩句可知，長期睡眠不足可能導(dǎo)致心臟病、超重、抑郁和壽命縮短，而疲勞駕駛是青少年車禍死亡的主要因素。選項(xiàng)A(心臟病)和選項(xiàng)B(交通事故)符合文章內(nèi)容。由文章第二段最后一句可知，選項(xiàng)D(注意力不集中)符合文章內(nèi)容。選項(xiàng)C(皮膚問題)文中未提及。故本題選C。

[參考譯文]

隨著新學(xué)期的開始，父母?jìng)冇珠_始艱難地哄騙，甚至必要的時(shí)候把他們疲憊的孩子拉下床。這個(gè)場(chǎng)景可能會(huì)讓你覺得很好笑，但是睡眠不足可不是開玩笑的。和那些每晚至少睡九個(gè)小時(shí)的學(xué)生相比，睡眠不足的學(xué)生在學(xué)習(xí)、健康、行為和情緒方面有更多的問題。心臟病、超重、抑郁和壽命縮短都與長期睡眠不足有關(guān)。睡眠不足對(duì)青少年來說尤其致命。車禍?zhǔn)乔嗌倌晁劳龅闹饕颍踩珜＜艺J(rèn)為疲勞駕駛是主要因素。

不幸的是，很少有青少年能得到他們所需要的睡眠?？屏_拉多大學(xué)的研究人員在一項(xiàng)針對(duì)中學(xué)生和高中生的調(diào)查中發(fā)現(xiàn)，82%的人表示醒來時(shí)感覺很累，沒有精神，超過一半的人每周至少有一次在白天難以集中注意力。

這其中的一部分歸咎于要處理多種任務(wù)。很多學(xué)生要同時(shí)應(yīng)付課外活動(dòng)、家庭作業(yè)和兼職工作。即使他們能在合理的時(shí)間內(nèi)完成這些任務(wù)，而電視、網(wǎng)絡(luò)、電子游戲、電話和朋友間的短信往往讓他們熬到深夜。在一天的晚些時(shí)候喝蘇打水和功能飲料以及參加周末的深夜派對(duì)都會(huì)增加睡眠不足。生物鐘對(duì)青少年的睡眠也有影響。他們體內(nèi)控制什么時(shí)候開始感覺到累的生物鐘，在青春期后就改變了，使大部分青少年很難在晚上11點(diǎn)之前入睡。學(xué)校一般在早上8點(diǎn)15分之前開始上課，很多高中7點(diǎn)15分開始上課。為了準(zhǔn)時(shí)到校，很多青少年必須六點(diǎn)半起床，這必然使他們一周都睡眠不足。青少年為了補(bǔ)課，通常在周末睡得很晚，這使得周日晚上入睡和周一早上醒來變得更加困難。周末補(bǔ)課讓學(xué)生在學(xué)校上課的一周中沒有充沛的精力，而這個(gè)時(shí)間段是最需要保持清醒的。

自20世紀(jì)90年代以來，二十多個(gè)州的初中和高中都在嘗試推遲開始上課的時(shí)間。結(jié)果是令人鼓舞的：學(xué)生有了更多的睡眠、出勤率更高、成績更好，駕駛事故也少了。但大多數(shù)學(xué)校仍然很早就開始上課，這意味著如果青少年想要有足夠的睡眠，他們的任務(wù)要減少。

27、The main idea of paragraph 3 is _________.

細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)文章最后一段第一句可知，自20世紀(jì)90年代以來，二十多個(gè)州的中學(xué)和高中都在嘗試推遲開始上課的時(shí)間。選項(xiàng)C(推遲開始上課的時(shí)間)符合文章內(nèi)容。選項(xiàng)A(教育他們的學(xué)生關(guān)于睡眠的重要性)、選項(xiàng)B(監(jiān)督他們學(xué)生的深夜活動(dòng))和選項(xiàng)D(設(shè)立嚴(yán)格的規(guī)定)文中均未提及。故本題選C。

A library is a place to find out about anything. In it there are mostly books, but there are also pictures, papers, magazines, maps and records. Special science and art shows, story hours, films, plays, and contests may also be held there.

Long ago a library had only books, and these were hard to get. Books could be written only by hand. There were so few that no one was allowed to take them out of the library. After the printing machine was invented, books could be made faster. This helped libraries get more books.

To borrow a book to take home today, a person just needs a library card. In many libraries a helper checks the book out. He or she stamps the card. The mark shows the date by which the book must be returned. If the book is returned late, the person must usually pay money, called a fine. In some libraries a computer has taken the place of stamping.

Books in a library are put into a certain order to help people find what they want. All books about animals may be placed together. Or all stories written by the same person may be placed together. A big set of cards lists all the library’s books in alphabetical (字母的) order. It is called the card catalog (目錄). It tells where each of them can be found.

People who live far in the country may find it hard to get to a library. For these people there are bookmobiles, which are large trucks filled with books. Each truck travels to many places. All the people have to do is to meet the truck and choose the books they would like to read.

31、According to the first paragraph, which of the following is TRUE?

·A.You can see movies and hold contests in a library.

·B.You can find out everything that you want.

·C.In a library you only find all kinds of books.

推理題。文章第一段提到了圖書館的作用及圖書館里都有什么。圖書館中大部分都是書，但是也有照片、報(bào)紙、雜志、地圖和檔案。特殊的科學(xué)和藝術(shù)展覽、特別活動(dòng)、電影、戲劇和比賽也可以在那里舉行。選項(xiàng)A(在圖書館你可以看電影，舉行比賽)符合文章內(nèi)容。選項(xiàng)B(你可以找到任何你想要的東西)與文章所述不符，文中只是說可以查找任何信息。選項(xiàng)C(你只能在圖書館里找到所有種類的書)和選項(xiàng)D(在圖書館，你不僅能找到很多書，還有很多電影明星和檔案)均與文章內(nèi)容不符。故本題選A。

[參考譯文]

圖書館是可以查找任何信息的地方。圖書館中大部分都是書，但是也有照片、報(bào)紙、雜志、地圖和檔案。特殊的科學(xué)和藝術(shù)展覽、特別活動(dòng)、電影、戲劇和比賽也可以在那里舉行。

很久以前，圖書館里只有書，而且很難獲得。書只能手寫。書如此少以至于任何人都不準(zhǔn)把它們帶出圖書館。印刷機(jī)發(fā)明之后，圖書生產(chǎn)變快了，圖書館也能得到更多的書。

如今要想從圖書館借書，人們只需要一張借書證。在許多圖書館里，由圖書管理員辦理借書手續(xù)。管理員會(huì)在借書證上蓋章。這個(gè)標(biāo)記顯示還書的日期。如果圖書還的晚了，借書人通常必須付錢，稱為罰款。在一些圖書館里，電腦代替了蓋印。

圖書館的圖書都是按順序放的，有助于人們找到自己需要的書。所有關(guān)于動(dòng)物的書可能會(huì)放在一起?；蛘咚杏赏粋€(gè)人寫的小說放在一起。一大套卡片按字母順序列出圖書館的所有圖書，這叫做卡片目錄，告訴人們?cè)谀睦锟梢哉业侥夸浬系臅?/p>

住在鄉(xiāng)村的人可能會(huì)覺得去圖書館很難。對(duì)這些人來說，有流動(dòng)圖書館，就是裝滿書的大卡車。每輛卡車都要去很多地方。人們所要做的就是找到卡車，然后選擇他們想讀的書。

32、There were only few books in an ancient library because _________.

正確答案：

C

細(xì)節(jié)題。文章第四段提到了圖書館的書的排列順序。所有關(guān)于動(dòng)物的書可能會(huì)放在一起，或者所有由同一個(gè)人寫的小說放在一起。因此圖書館的書是按寫作領(lǐng)域或作者排放的，選項(xiàng)C符合文章內(nèi)容。選項(xiàng)A(標(biāo)題的拼寫)和選項(xiàng)B(作者名字的拼寫)文中均未提及。故本題選C。
