  46、回答46-57题:
  How to Use a Library
  A)You’re driving your car home from work or school.And something goes wron9.The engine stalls out at lights,holds back as you go to pass.It needs a tune?up——and soon.Where do you go?The library.You can take out an auto repair manual that tells step—by—step how to tune up your make and model.Or your tennis game has fallen off.You’ve lost your touch at the net.Where do you go?The library——for a few books on improving your tennis form.
  B)“The library!”you say.“That’s where my teacher sends me to do一ugh—homework."Unfortunately, I’ve found that’s exactly the way many people feel.If you’re among them.you’re denying yourself the easiest way to improve yourself,enjoy yourself and even cope with life.My first suggestion for making the most of your library is to do what I did,read and read and read.For pleasure——and for understanding.
  C) If it’s TV that keeps you from cultivating this delicious habit,I can offer a sure remedy.Take home from the library a stack of books that might look interestin9.Pile them on the TV set.Next time you are tempted to turn on a program you really don’t want to see,reach for a book instead.
  D)Over the years,people collect a mental list of books they mean to read.If you don’t have such a list,here is the suggestion.Take from the library some of the books you might have enjoyed dramatized on TV,like Remargue’s All Quiet on the Western Front,Clavell’s Shegun,Tolkien’s The Hobbit,or Victor Hugo’s Les Mise Rables.If you like what you read、you can follow up with other satisfying books by the same authors.
  E)Some people in their reading limit themselves to current talked—about best sellers.Oh,what they miss!The library is full of yesterday’s best sellers;and they still make compelling reading today. Some that I've enjoyed:A.B.Guthrie’s The Big Sky,Carl Van Doren’s Benjamin Franklin,Mari Sandoz’s.Old Jules,and Norman Mailer’s The Naked and the Dead.
  F) How do you find these or any other books you’re looking for?It’s easy—with the card catalog. Every time I go to the library——and I go more than once a week——I invariably make a beeline to the card catalog before anything else.It’s the nucleus of any public library.The card catalog lists every book in the library by:1.author;2.title;3.subject.Let’s pick an interesting subject to look up.I have always been fascinated by astronomy.You’11 be surprised at the wealth of material you will find under“astronomy”to draw upon.And the absorbing books you didn’t know existed on it.
  CAUTION:Always have a pencil and paper when you use the card catal09.
  G) Once you jot down the numbers of the books you are interested in,you are ready to find them on the shelves.Libraries call the shelves “the stacks”.In many smaller libraries,which you’ll be using,the stacks will be open for you to browse.To me there is a special thrill in tracking down the books I want in lhe stacks!For invariably,I find books about which I knew nothin9,and these often turn out to be the very ones l need.You will find the same thing happening to ypu when you start to browse in the stacks.“A learned mind is the end product of browsing.”CAUTION:If you take a book from the stack s to your work desk,do not try to return it to its proper place.That’s work for the experts.If you replace it incorrectly,the next seeker won’t be able to find it.
  H) Some of the brightest and best.informed men and women in America are the librarians who specialize in providing reference help.Introduce yourself State your problem.And be amazed at how much he p you will receive.CAUTION:Don’t waste the time of this expert by asking silly questions you ought to solve yourself.Save the reference librarian for the really big ones.
  I) You shot:ld also learn to use the Reader's Guide to Periodical Literature.This green—bound index is me of the most useful items in any library.It indexes all the articles in the major magazines,including newspaper magazine supplements.Thus it provides a guide to the very latest expert information of any subject that interests you.So if you want to do a really first—class job,find out which magazines your library subscribes to,then consult the Reader's Guide and track down recent articles on your subject.When you use this wonderful tool effectively,you show the mark of a real scholar.
  J) Since you can take most books home,but not magazines,take full notes when using the latter. Many libraries today provide a reprographic machine that can quickly copy pages you need from magazines and books.Ask about it:If you are working on a project of some size which will require repeated library visits,keep a small notebook in which you record the identification numbers of the books you will be using frequently.This will save you valuable time,because you won’t have to consult the card catalog or search aimlessly through the stacks each time you visit for material you seek.Sol fie of the very best books in any library are the reference books,which may not be taken home.Learn what topics they cover and how best to use them,for these books are wonderful repositories (储藏室、资料库)of human knowledge.
  K) Your library can give you help on any subject.It can even be your business and legal advisor.How many times have you scratched your head over how to get a tax rebate(折扣)on your summer job?You,11 find guides to that.Want to defend yourself in traffic couP?Find out how in legal books at the library.
  L) Library Projects Can Be Fun and Rewardin9.Here are a few ideas:
  1.What are your roots?Trace your ancestors.Many libraries specialize in genealogy.
  2.Did George Washington sleep nearby?Or Billy the Kid?Your library’s collection of local history books can put you on the trail.
  3.Cook a Polynesian feast.Or an ancient Roman banquet.Read how in the library’s cook books.
  4.Take up photography.Check the library for consumer reviews of cameras before you buy.Take out books on lightin9,composition,or darkroom techniques or—you name it!
  M)If you haven,t detected by now my enthusiasm for libraries,let me offer two personal notes.I'm particularly pleased that in recent years two beautiful libraries have been named after me:a small community library in Quakertown,Pennsylvania,and the huge research library located at the University of Northern Colorado in Greeley.And I like libraries so much that I married a librarian.

  46、The nucleus of any public library is the car,d catalog.
  47、Yesterday’s best sellers are still good for readin9,which shouldn’t be overlooked.
  48、The author suggests that people should go to the library for answers when things go wrong
  49、The Reader,s Guide is a green—bound index which provides a guide to very latest expert information of any subject that interests readers.
  50、The sure remedy to kick the TV habit is to take home from the library interesting books to read.
  51、There are various kinds of fun and rewarding projects available in different libraries.
  52、A notebook will help readers to record the identification numbers of the frequently used books which can’t be taken home.
  53、Readers should not try to return the book taken from the stacks to their desk to its proper place.
  54、When asking for help,readers are suggested not asking the reference librarians silly questions they ought to solve themselves.
  55、When asking for help,readers are suggested not asking the reference librarians silly questions they ought to solve themselves.

  56、Passage One Questions 57-62 are based on the following passage.
  Thousands of years ago man used handy rocks for his surgical operations.Later he used sharp bone or horn,metal knives and more recently,rubber and plastic and that was where we stuck,in surgical instrument terms,for many years.In the l960s a new tool was developed,one which was,first of all,to be of great practical use to the armed forces and industry,but which was also,in time,to revolutionize the art and science of surgery, The tool is the laser and it is being used by more and more surgeons all over the world,for a very large number of different complaints.The word“laser”means:light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation.As we all know,light is hot,any source of light—from the sun itself down to a humble match burning—will give warmth.But light is usually spread out over a wide area.The Light in a laser beam,however,is concentrated.This means that a light with no more power than that produced by an ordinary electric light bulb becomes intensely strong as it is concentrated to a pinpoint-sized beam.
  Experiments with these pinpoint beams showed researchers that different energy sources produce beams that have a particular effect on certain living cells.It is now possible for eye surgeons to operate on the back of human eye without harming the front of the eye,simply by passing a laser beam right though the eye-ball.No knives,no stitches,no unwanted damage—a true surgical wonder.Operations which once left patients exhausted and in need of long period of recovery time now leave them feeling relaxed and comfortable。So much more difficult operations can now be tried.
  The rapid development of laser techniques in the past ten years has made it clear that the future is likely to be very exciting.Perhaps some cancers will be treated with laser in a way that makes surgery not only safer but also more effective.Altogether,tomorrow may see more and more information coming to light on the diseases which can be treated medically.

  56、Which of the following is NOT a tool used for surgical operations before the 1960s?
  A.Bone.
  B.Metal knives.
  C.Scissors.
  D.Rubber and plastic.
  57、 The appearance of the laser in the l960s results in_____.
  A.a complete revolution in the,science of surgical techniques
  B.an end to pain brought by all diseases
  C.medical help accessible to more common people
  D.complete changes in man’s approach to surgery
  58、 What is the reason mentioned in the passage that the laser beam is so strong?
  A.It sends out light to cover a wide area.
  B.It has many sources of light.
  C.It is a highly concentrated beam of light.
  D.The source of its heat comes from the sun.
  59、 The author cites the example of eye surgeons to illustrate that
  A.pinpoint beams have an extensive energy source
  B.pinpoint beams with different sources have different effects
  C.pinpoint beams have effects on living cells
  D.pinpoint beams enable surgeons to do the most different operation
  60、 The rapid development of laser techniques means that
  A.in another ten years we shall be able to cure cancer
  B.we shall be capable of treating all the diseases
  C.patients do not have to suffer any pain
  D.surgery is likely to improve considerably

  61、Questions{TSE} are based on the following passage.
  Most people would agree that,although our age exceeds all previous ages in knowledge,there has been no corresponding increase in wisdom.But agreement ceases as soon as we attempt to define“wisdom”and consider means of promoting it.
  There are several factors that contribute to wisdom.Of these I should put first a sense of proportion:the capacity to take account of all the important factors in a problem and to attach to each its due weight.This has become more difficult than it used to be owing to the extent and complexity of the special knowledge required of various kinds of technicians.Suppose,for example,that you are engaged in research in scientific medicine.The work is difficult and is likely to absorb the whole of your mind.You have no time to consider the effect which your discoveries or inventions may have outside the field of medicine.You succeed(let us say)as modem medicine has succeeded,in enormously lowering the infant death—rate,not only in Europe and America,but also in Asia and Africa.This has the entirely unintended result of making the food supply inadequate and lowering the standard of life in the parts of the world that have the greatest populations.To take an even more dramatic example,which is in everybody’s mind at the present time:you study the makeup of the atom from a disinterested(无利害关系的)desire for knowledge,and by chance place in the hands of a powerful mad man the means of destroying the human race.
  Therefore,with every increase of knowledge and skill,wisdom becomes more necessary,for every such increase augments(增强)our capacity for realizing our purposes,and therefore augments our capacity for evil,if our purposes are unwise.

  61、Disagreement arises when people try to decide
  A.how much more wisdom we have now than before
  B.what wisdom is and how to develop it,
  C.if there is a great increase of wisdom in our age
  D.whether wisdom can be developed or not
  62、 According to the author,“wisdom”is the ability to______
  A.carefully consider the bad effects of any kind of research work
  B.give each important problem some careful consideration
  C.acquire a great deal of complex and special knowledge
  D.give suitable consideration to all the possible elements in a problem
  63、 Lowering the infant death-rate may____
  A.prove to be helpful everywhere in the world
  B.give rise to an increase in population in Europe
  C.cause food shortages in Asia and Africa
  D.raise the living standard of the people in Africa
  64、 The author uses the examples in the passage to illustrate his point that
  A.it’s extremely difficult to consider all the important elements in problem
  B.success in medical research has its negative effects
  C.scientists may unknowingly cause destruction to the human race
  D.it’s unwise to be totally absorbed in research in scientific medicine
  65、 What is the main idea of the passage?
  A.It is unwise to place the results of scientific research in the hands of a powerful mad man.
  B.The more knowledge one has,the wiser one becomes.
  C.Any increase of knowledge could lead to disastrous results without the guidance of Wisdom.
  D.Wisdom increases in proportion to one’s age.
