A(2018·兰州实战考试)Libraries are doing well in the digital times. Here are some of the most awesome examples.1．University Library Freiburg, GermanyThe original library of the University of Freiburg was rebuilt in 2015 following the project of Degelo Architekten. The new building has 41,000 square meters and looks like a cut diamond. The library offers in the basement a system of automated checkout machines and 700,000 volumes that can be borrowed.2．Microlibrary at Taman Bima, IndonesiaThis wonderful little public library is located in a Kampung neighborhood near the Bandung airport, Indonesia. The building was designed by the Bandung office of SHAU architect studio. It has 160 square meters and is built upon a preexisting stage that was already used by the local community for events and gatherings. The Bima public library is the first of a series of similar microlibraries that are planned to be built across Indonesia.3．Public Library of Constitución, ChileThe city Constitución, Chile, was devastated by 8.8 degrees earthquake in 2010. The new public library, designed by Sebastian Irarrázaval, is a part of the initiative to rebuild the city. Constitución is one of the biggest clusters of wood production in Chile. This heritage is reflected in the construction of this post­disaster library. It's made almost entirely of wood, and only the firewalls are done with exposed poured concrete. The internal area of the library exceeds 350 square meters. The library was opened in 2015, five years after the earthquake.4．Liyuan Library, ChinaBuilt in 2011 in a small village of Huairou on the outskirts (郊区) of Beijing, this beautiful nature­inspired library was designed by Li Xiaodong. The 170­square­meter building's interior is spatially diverse by using steps and small level changes to create distinct places. The wooden sticks temper the bright light and spread it evenly throughout the space to give a perfect reading environment. The library closes at dusk because there is no electricity in it.【解题导语】本文是一篇应用文。

Maybe you feel comforted by the sound that someone has sent you a message?Don’t worry, you’re not alone.We check our phones an average of 150 times a day, and around 30% of the total time spent online is devoted to social media.Some experts now fear this habit could be damaging our mental health.This is something particularly bothering young adults, according to a study from the University of Pittsburgh.It found the more they used social media, the more likely they were to be depressed(沮丧的)．In tests, those people who checked social media frequently were 2.7 times more likely to be depressed compared to those who spent most of their time generally surfing the Internet, who had just 1.7 times the risk.Some of us certainly feel sad when we’re ignored on social media sites, or when we see someone else having a better time than us.But depression is a more serious condition and clinical psychologist, Abigael San, recently told the BBC that, “It’s a real issue, and it’s been getting significantly worse over the last 5-6 years.You can get so hooked that it takes you away from your real relationships.” However, Abigael does admit that social media is more likely to worsenpre-existing issues than directly cause them.Other research by the University of Glasgow found that teenagers are affected by the 24-hour demands of their social media accounts.It found that those with higher levels of emotionalinvestment in social media, and who use it at night, were more likely to feel depressed and anxious.Despite these warning signs, why do some of us continue to keep clicking？Well, I suppose we all want to be liked and we don’t want to miss out on a conversation that’s taking place online.But we need to know when to switch off our virtual(虚拟的) online world and connect with the real world instead.12．Who is more likely to be depressed according to the study?A．People checking social media frequently.B．People surfing the Internet regularly.C．People receiv ing a few “likes” for their posts.D．People longing for more messages.13．Why does the author give a quote from Abigael San in Para.4?A．To introduce the coming topic.B．To give a more supporting example.C．To stress the importance of social media.D．To explain the cause of a social media addict.14．Why do people get addicted to social media according to the author?A．Because they have more time and money.B．Because the virtual world is much more attractive.C．Because they want to attract more attention.D．Because emotional investment in social media benefits them.15．What’s the passage mainly about?A．It’s common for teenagers to be a social addict.B．Using smartphones does harm to people’s health.C．It’s better to stay away from virtual online world.D．Social media addiction contributes to depression.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
