B

Fifteen years ago, I took a summer vacation in Lecce in southern Italy. After climbing up a hill for a panoramic (全景的) view of the blue sea, white buildings and green olive trees, I stopped to catch my breath and then found a best place to take the best photo of it.

Unluckily, just as I took out my camera, a woman came up from behind, and stood right in front of my view. Like me, this woman was here to stop, sigh and appreciate the view.

Patient as I was, after about 15 minutes I grew frustrated(沮丧的). Was it too much to ask her to move so I could take just one picture of the beautiful view? Sure, I could have asked her, but something prevented me from doing so.

Another 15 minutes passed and I grew bored. The woman was still there. I decided to take the photo anyway. And now when I look at it, I think her presence in the photo is what makes the image interesting. The landscape, beautiful on its own, somehow comes to life and breathes because this woman is engaging (参与;融入) with it.

This photo, with the unique beauty that showed before me and that woman who “ruined” it, now hangs on a wall in my bedroom. What would she think if she knew that she is captured (捕捉) and frozen on some strangers bedroom wall? A bedroom, after all, is a very private space, in which some woman I dont even know has been immortalized (使……永存). In some ways, she lives in my house.

Perhaps we all live in each others spaces. Perhaps this is what photos are for: to remind us that we all appreciate beauty, that we all share a common desire for pleasure, for connection, for something that is greater than us.

( )61. _______ when the author was about to take a photo?

A. Her camera stopped working B. A woman blocked (阻礙) her view

C. Someone asked her to leave D. A friend came up from behind

( )62. According to the author, the woman was probably _______.

A. enjoying herself B. losing her patience

C. waiting for the sunset D. thinking about her past

( )63. In the authors opinion, _______ makes the photo so alive.

A. the rich color of the view B. the perfect position of the camera

C. the woman in the photo D. the soft sunlight that summer day

( )64. The photo on the bedroom wall makes the writer understand better _______.

A. the need to be close to nature B. the importance of private space

C. the joy of the vacation in Italy D. the shared love for beauty

( )65. The passage can be seen as _______ of the author.

A. a particular life experience B. the pleasure of traveling

C. the art of photography D. a lost friendship

C

Public Libraries

Most towns in Britain have a public library. A library usually has a large selection (選择) of books and other resources (资源), which library members can use and borrow for free.

Britains First Public Library

The first public library in Britain opened in Manchester in 1852. Its first librarian (图书管理员) was a man called Edward Edwards. Edwards attended the librarys opening ceremony (典礼,仪式) and two famous writers called Charles Dickens and William Thackeray were there too.

How to Join a Library

To join a library, go to your local library and fill in a form. Youll receive a library card which is needed when using library services.

Library Services

Modern public libraries have something for everyone. Most of them have audio books, CDs, newspapers and DVDs as well as books to borrow.

Mobile Libraries

Not everyone can get a library. Some people live far away from towns and cities. Other people find it difficult to go out because they have an illness or a disability. Thanks to mobile libraries, these people can still borrow books.

Unlike most libraries, which store books in buildings, mobile libraries usually keep their books in a mini-bus. The back of the mini-bus has shelves for the books, and it is big enough for borrowers to step inside and look around. A driver takes the mini-bus to a certain place at a certain time, so people know when to expect it. They can then return their books and borrow some more.

All Aboard the Library!

A school in London didnt have space for a library inside the building. However, everybody agreed that it was still important to have a school library. So the head of the school, Graham Blake decided to park an old bus on the school car park and changed it into a library. Pupils helped to paint the bus, and after eight months, the new library was ready.

( )66. _______ was the first librarian of the first public library in Britain.

A. Charles Dickens B. William Thackeray

C. Edward Edwards D. Graham Blake

( )67. _______ can use public library services.

A. CD or DVD sellers B. Anyone living in Britain

C. A person with a library card D. Newspaper or book writers

( )68. The mobile library is different from other libraries because it _______.

A. keeps books in buildings B. returns books to readers

C. offers special services to pupils D. goes to a certain place at a certain time

( )69. The school in London built its library on an old bus because _______.

A. parents offered the school an old bus

B. pupils thought it was fun to read on a bus

C. the school didnt have enough money to buy books

D. the school had no room for a library inside the building

( )70. We can learn from the passage that _______.

A. schools in London like mobile libraries
