Section B Cloze (15%)We must face the fact that there are many aspects of the information age. All information makes us anxious. Over some of these, we have little or no control. On the other hand, there are steps we can take to eliminate much of 42 . We might say, then, that survival in the information age is a challenging yet 43 task.To some extent, we are all receivers and givers of information. Our brain, however, receives and processes information in different ways. One way involves the amazing capacity of the brain to process information subconsciously.Another way involves 44 processing of information such as during conversation. We have a great deal of control over this type of information processing --- both as givers and receivers. If we indulge (任凭) ourselves talking about tiny things or even harmful information, valuable time and 45 can be wasted. Meanwhile this can make us and others anxious. You may lose opportunities to absorb and distribute information that is truly useful for 46 in this troubledworld.Information gathered by reading is processed consciously and 47 takes longest. The written word is still the most powerful way of 48 imagination and conveying information, ideas, and concept.How can we 49 so much information from various sources, such as reading material, TV program, computer games, and other 50 activities? The answer is screening. Screening, sorting out or prioritizing what we need to hear, see, say or read may 51 much information anxiety.To cut through confusing information, 52 this basic rule: Keep it simple! The secret to processing information is narrowing your 53 of information. Simplicity is 54 in many Asian cultures and is even recognized in Western cultures as a superior way of living.

These libraries have a total collection of some 115 million books.About one-third of the total population are members of public libraries. This leading and reference library service is, with some limitations, free.Public libraries not only lend books, music scores, and records, but also provide libraries for children, patients in hospital and prisoners in jails, among others. They engage in many other kinds of activities as well, such as organizing play readings, lectures, films shows and musical circles. They also help to promote and develop adult education.The greatest and most famous library in Britain is that of the British Museum (now part of the British Library created in 1973), which possesses over six million books. A copy of every book, magazines, newspaper, etc., published in Great Britain must be sent to the British Museum. The Reading Room of the Museum is famous for the number of scholars and notables who have studied in it. The British Museum Library is not a lending library.The second best-known library in Britain is the Boldeian Library at Oxford (over two million volumes). The National Library of Scotland (about two million volumes) and the National Library of Wales ( more than one and a quarter million volumes) are also famous, and may claim a copy of every new work published in Britain. There is also a National Library for the Blind, with over three hundred thousand volumes in a specially embossed type.57. The services public libraries offer are ________________.A. only lending books, music scores and recordsB. organizing play reading, stage performances and film showsC. providing libraries for some groups of peopleD. helping to promote and develop school education58. The Reading Room of the Museum is famous for ________________.A. the number of famous readersB. its long historyC. more than six million booksD. the rare books, magazines and newspapers59. The National Library for the blind ________________.A. is the second best-known libraryB. possesses over two million volumesC. is not a lending libraryD. possesses volumes in a special type60. What’s the best title of the passage?A. The British MuseumB. Public Libraries in BritainC. The Kinds of LibrariesD. The Services of Libraries（B）Reading is a highly subjective matter. But there are some books that hold universal appeal. They are featured by compelling narrative, intricate wording, luminous imagination and precise logic. Recommended by Hou Yiling, English literature professor at Beijing Foreign Studies University, and Zhu Gang, dean of the School of Foreign Studies at Nanjing University, each of the books in this package is a worthwhile read while remaining accessible for college students.Dawn of LiteratureHomer’s epic Iliad and Odyssey date back to the 8th century BC and mark the beginning of classical antiquity in the West. A later Greek poet was Sappho, who in many ways defined lyric poetry as a genre. China’s Classic of Poetry dates back to the 11th to 6th century BC.Apart from its religious significance, the Bible is also considered to be a book about ancient history, politics and culture, the cornerstone of Western civilization. Western writers often make references to the Bible. To some extent, reading the Bible is the first step to understanding Western culture. Stories from the Old Testament, such as Moses parting the Red Sea, Noah’s Ark or Jesus’ sacrifice and resurrection, are compelling and very readable.Renaissance (14th – 17th Century)After the suffocating canonization of the Middle Ages by the Roman Catholic Church, acultural movement to restore the classic tradition emerged. The movement was characterized by humanist study methods and sought realism and human emotion in art.If you find reading William Shakespeare’s plays challenging, try his sonnets. Each 14-line sonnet has been meticulously composed to convey the poet’s passion in love, and his loneliness. The alliterations and end rhymes offer great pleasure when read aloud. More importantly, reading sonnets is one of the best ways to cultivate one’s sense of language in rhythm, intonation and flow.Victorian Era and the Rise of Novels (1837 – 1901)It was in the Victorian era that the novel became the leading literary genre in the English language. When the industrial revolution began to change the social landscape, writers such as Charles Dickens, George Elliot and the Brontë sisters turned their attention to the misery of ordinary people. Another important fact is the number of female novelists who were successful in the 19th century.As one of the most famous novelists of English literature, Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice tells the story of a young woman pursuing her true love. Reading Austen’s novel, readers are transported back into the Victorian era of the 19th Century to witness its signature social salons, etiquette and pastoral scenes of the English countryside. For English learners, the elegant sentences in Austen’s books offer an ideal script to recite.The story Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll follows Alice, who falls down a rabbit hole into a fantasy world populated by peculiar creatures. The tale has enjoyed lasting popularity with children as well as adults. It’s considered to be one of the best examples of fantasy literature. The book’s narrative course and structure, characters and imagery have been enormously influential in both literature and popular culture.61.The books recommended by the two professors are arranged according to ______.A. the names of their authorsB. the nationalities of their authorsC. the order of time of creationD. the order of importance in English literature62.The underlined word “cornerstone” can be replaced by ______.A. most important divisionB. most eye-catching divisionC. best workD. fundamental work63.Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. It was Homer who defined lyric poetry as a genre.B. Renaissance was characterized by humanist study methods and sought realism and humanemotion in art.C. Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice is considered to be one of the best examples of fantasyliterature.D. In Charles Dickens’ novels, readers witness the pastoral scenes of the English countryside.CA hot spot is a place in the upper mantle of the earth at which hot magma from the lower mantle upwells to melt through the crust, usually in the interior of a tectonic plate to form a volcanic feature. It also refers to a place in the crust overlying a hot spot. Unlike most volcanoes, hot spots are rarely found along the boundaries of the continental and oceanic plates that comprise the Earth’s crust.Most hot spots lie deep in the interior of plates and are anchored deep in the layers of the Earth’s surface. Hot spots are also distinguished from other volcanoes by their lavas, which contain greater amounts of alkali metals than do those from volcanoes at plate margins.In some cases, plates moving past hot spots have left trails of extinct volcanoes in much the same way that wind passing over a chimney carries off puffs of smoke. It appears that the Hawaiian Islands were created in such a manner by a single source of lava, welling up from a hot spot, over which the Pacific Ocean plate passed on a course roughly from the east toward the northwest, carrying off a line of volcanoes of increasing age. Two other Pacific island chains – the Austral Ridge and the Tuamotu Ridge – parallel the configuration of the Hawaiian chain; they are also aligned from the east toward the northwest, with the most recent volcanic activity near their eastern terminuses.That the Pacific plate and the other plates are moving is now beyond dispute; the relative motion of the plates has been reconstructed in detail. However, the relative motion of the plates with respect to the Earth’s interior cannot be determined easily. Hot spots provide the measuring instruments for resolving the question of whether two continental plates are moving in opposite directions or whether one is stationary and the other is drifting away from it. The most compelling evidence that a continental plate is stationary is that, at some hot spots, lavas of several ages are superposed instead of being spread out in chronological sequence. Of course, reconstruction of plate motion from the tracks of hot-spot volcanoes assumes that hot spots are immobile, or nearly so. Several studies support such an assumption, including one that has shown that prominent hot spots throughout the world seem not to have moved during the past ten million years.Beyond acting as frames of reference, hot spots apparently influence the geophysical processes that propel the plates across the globe. When a continental plate comes to rest over a hot spot, material welling up from deeper layers forms a broad dome that as it grows, develops deep fissures. In some instances, the continental plate may rupture entirely along some of the fissures so that the hot spot initiates the formation of a new ocean. Thus, just as earlier theories have explained the mobility of the continental plates, so hot-spot activity may suggest a theory to explain their instability.64.According to the passage, hot spots differ from most volcanoes in that hot spots ______.A. can only be found near islandsB. are active whereas all other volcanoes are extinctC. are situated closer to the earth’s surfaceD. have greater amounts of alkali metals in their lavas65.It can be inferred from the passage that evidence for the apparent course of the Pacific platehas been provided by the ______.A. dimensions of ocean hot spotsB. concurrent movement of two hot spotsC. pattern of fissures in the ocean floorD. configurations of several mid-ocean island chains66.It can be inferred from the passage that the spreading out of lavas of different ages at hot spotsindicates that a ______.A. hot spot is activeB. continental plate has movedC. continental rupture is imminentD. volcano contains large concentrations of alkali metals67.Which of the following does the passage suggest about the Hawaiian Islands, the Austral Ridge,and the Tuamotu Ridge?A. The three chains of islands are moving eastward.B. The three island chains are a result of the same plate movement.C. The Hawaiian Islands are receding from the other two island chains at a relatively rapid rate.D. The Austral Ridge and the Tuamotu Ridge chains have moved closer together whereas theHawaiian Islands have remained stationary.68.The primary purpose of the passage is to ______.A. describe the way in which hot spots influence the extinction of volcanoesB. describe and explain the formation of the oceans and continentsC. describe hot spots and explain how they appear to influence and record the motion of platesD. describe the formation and orientation of island chains in the Pacific OceanIV.
