Read the following passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.
The library is one of the most popular places at a Western university. Students turn to it for research, conversations about class, and many other services.
Compared with Chinese libraries, college libraries in the US and UK tend to offer more resources. A graduate student at Yale University can borrow as many as 225 books at a time.
In addition to borrowing books, there are online and electronic resources. These include a database (数据库) search of popular and academic material, such as LexisNexis Academic, which offers items from newspapers and magazines.
Although books and articles are the items that students ask for most frequently, some libraries provide video recordings. At some schools, teachers and tutors put electronic copies of their teaching PPTs on the library Web to give easier access for students.
Another useful service in Western college libraries is the Interlibrary Loan. This allows a student at one school to borrow books from another school. The loan request is made through the student’s college library, which gets the book, gives it to the user, and arranges for its return.
Technology has made libraries more attractive. Some universities have services for students to send messages through the computer.
Earlier this year, Harvard University introduced a new Scan and Deliver service, allowing students to make requests for parts of books and articles. Requests made through the system are handled by library staff. The student receives an e-mail with an Internet link to the scanned pages. The service is free and all material comes within four days.
It used to be that libraries didn’t allow food or drinks. But that rule is changing and many of them now contain a café so students can spend as much time as they want in the library.
Additionally, some US university libraries are now all-night affairs, or have at least one study room open all night.
(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)

[1] Safety in the highway is not totally out of hand. Here are four ways you can protect yourselves when you travel.
[2] You are safer in a large car. People in small cars are injured more often and more severely than people traveling in large cars. Factories of small cars are strengthening their products’ safety, which helps. But the mix of large cars and small cars on the road is the main reason for the safety problem.
[3] Being thrown into glass and metal parts of a car — or being thrown from the car — can really damage you. That’s why safety belts should be worn. The safety belt’s main purpose is to pull you back. If your car has a sudden crash with another vehicle or object or if it rolls over, a belt can reduce the chance of fatal injury by 45% and the chance of serious injury by 50%.
[4] _______________________. More than half of all new cars sold have air bags. Air bags provide protection in frontal crashes — the type of crash that kills the most drivers, though they are also wearing safety belts. Most people demand air bags in the cars they buy. But the protection provided by air bags is limited in side or rear crashes; effective as they are, they can’t take the place of safety belts.
[5] Drunk driving crashes are less likely to happen if you don’t drink. Drunk driving is the most serious problem. Many people have realized that mixing drinking and driving can lead to death and injury, prison time and other results. There are measures to strengthen penalties (处罚) for drinking and driving.
小题1:What is the main idea of the passage? (no more than 10 words)
_____________________________________________________________________________    
小题2:Which sentence in the passage is the closest in meaning to the following one?                   Air bags can not do much protection in side or rear crashes; although they are effective, you can’t replace safety belts with air bags.

阅读下面短文并回答问题,然后将答案写到答题卡相应的位置上(请注意问题后的词数要求)。
[1]Environment is very important to a student’s success. A child who is in comfortable environment learns more and enjoys class better than a child who is not. A classroom with good decoration such as the students’ art works, and enticing games and crafts makes for an inviting opportunity for the students to learn while still having fun. Classrooms need to be fun and rewarding while still offering high standards of education.
[2]Children need to feel welcomed and safe in their learning environment. If ____ at school with bullies or a teacher, the parents should consult the school system to resolve the problem. Pay attention to your children. Ask how their day at school went, ask what they learned, and always be attentive to any problems they speak of.
[3]Learning for a child should be fun and entertaining. No one likes to feel forced to do something they do not want to do. Fun learning allows for children to learn and not really even realize they are doing so. Children like to feel smart and special. Smaller classrooms allow for more one-on-one time between student and teacher. This can often greatly improve students’ learning. Keeping up with the class makes a child feel more comfortable and more eager to attend class and try to learn. Smaller classrooms also ensure that children receive recognition for a job well done. This boosts self-confidence as well as the eagerness to learn.
[4]We cannot expect school to be the only comfortable environment a child needs to be in. A child’s home life can affect how they feel about school. Actually, learning is about how we feel about ourselves. Environment is important but as you can see it is not all matters in the learning process.

阅读下面短文并回答问题,然后将答案写到相应的位置上(请注意问题后的字数要求)
〔1〕There are many useful suggestions and pieces of advice that can help one to improve English. Here are some useful suggestions and new tips to increase one’s English language vocabulary.
〔2〕Learning English vocabulary is about much more than just learning the right words. A broad grasp of vocabulary in the English language is based on understanding important expressions and “word combinations”, which means groups of words that often or always go together.
〔3〕Learning a word will not help very much if you quickly forget it. Research shows that it takes from 10 to 20 repetitions to really make a word part of your vocabulary. Since most words are learned from how they are used in context (上下文), the more words one is exposed to(接触), ________. Keep a writing pad close to you. When you read, pay close attention to the word you do not know, write the word down and try to guess its meaning from the context. Then look up the word in a dictionary.
〔4〕Remember that if you do not use English words that you have just learned in conversation or writing, you will forget them very quickly. So the best way to learn new words effectively is just by trying to use them in conversation and writing. Remember also that practice is the key to fluent spoken English.
〔5〕Building vocabulary is a life-long task. Remember, “In the beginning was the word.” Your future could depend on how rich your vocabulary is. It will also determine the quality of your communication.

阅读下面的短文,并根据短文后的要求答题。(请注意问题后的字数要求)
Have you considered studying abroad, but are not sure whether it’s worth our time? Perhaps you’re not certain what benefits you can get from an extended stay in a foreign country. Here are some very excellent reasons why you should study in a foreign county?
1. Studying abroad is the best way __________. There is no better and more effective way to learn a language than to study in a culture that speaks the language you’re learning. You’re surrounded by the language on a daily basis ,seeing and hearing it in the proper cultural context. Language learning happens most quickly under these circumstances.
2. Studying abroad provides the opportunity to travel. Weekends and academic breaks allow you to venture out and explore your surroundings— both your immediate and more distant surroundings. Since studying abroad often puts you in a completely different country, you are much closer to places you might otherwise not have had the opportunity to visit.
3. Studying abroad allows you to get to know another culture at first hand. Cultural differences are more than just habits. A person’s culture reflects very deep thoughts, beliefs, and values that influence his or her way of life and that he or she views the world. Students who experience cultural differences personally can truly understand where other cultures are coming from.
4. Studying abroad affords you the opportunity to make friends around the world. While abroad, you will meet not only natives to the culture in which you are studying, but also other international students who are as far from home as you.
5. Studying abroad raises employment opportunities. As the world continues to become more globalized, American countries are increasingly investing dollars abroad, and companies from countries around the world continue invest in the international market. Through an employer’s eyes, a student who has studied abroad is independent。 Your experience living and studying in a foreign country, knowing about other culture and another language will make you have many advantages over the other job applicants.(求职者)

Once upon a time there was a painter who had just finished his course from a great painter. He wanted to assess his skills, so he decided to display one of his best works on a busy street.

When he came back in the evening to collect his painting, he was completely shocked to see that the whole painting was filled with crosses.

paint, I'm not worth teaching."
