Indeed, Jefferson was an obsessive book collector from a young age, amassing (收集) three separate home libraries in his lifetime. Jefferson’s library was considered the finest in the country, and his collection doubled the holdings of the Library of Congress. Still, Jefferson didn't let the shelves at Monticello sit empty. By the time he died 11 years later, he had more than 2 000 volumes in his library. 　　Jefferson’s library might fit your conception of an old-fashioned home library with leather-bound books, wood paneling and uncomfortable furniture. But home libraries can be a dynamic expression of the owner’s personality. Creating a home library is a fun way to display your interests while establishing a special space for reading. 　　Home Library Organization 　　When you started using the public library, you probably learned about Melvil Dewey and his system for ordering libraries. The Dewey Decimal Classification System has ten broad categories for organizing books,including philosophy, religion and the arts. Each category is assigned a number, so for example, when you want a book on modern art, you head to the 700 block. Larger libraries, such as those at universities, tend to use the Library of Congress Classification System because it offers a more specific array of subjects for categorization, adding subjects such as medicine and law for a total of 21 categories. 　　Your home library may or may not be as large as your local public library, but a good system of organization will still help you find the book you want quickly, You could take a page from Dewey and the Library of Congress and sort books by subject matter. Sections for subjects such as history, technology or fiction might make their retrieval easier. This system also would allow you to highlight a particular passion, such as an extensive collection of World War Ⅱ history. 　　Here are some other ways to organize a collection. 　　Alphabetizing by author works well for fiction but not necessarily for nonfiction books of various subjects. 　　Judging a book by its cover is usually frowned upon, but sorting by color can be aesthetically pleasing to some . Those generally forgetful about the colors of their books might disagree. 　　After a painful breakup, the main character in Nick Hornby’s book High Fidelity organizes his record collection autobiographically in the order he acquired them. A chronological organization might include shelves that track the progress of your life, from beloved childhood reading and college textbooks to parenting books. 　　To some readers, there are two ways to look at books: read and unread . Prioritizing (区间优化次序) when you might need the book will allow you to keep unread books at the forefront of your collection ,as well as books you reach for frequently, such as reference books or favorite novels. 　　Library Furniture 　　While it might be difficult for a book lover to spend money on something other than books, at some point, you will need some bookshelves. Built-in, bookshelves can provide floor-to-ceiling storage and space savings. They can be tucked under staircases or other out-of-the-way spaces; however, they’re not a good choice for renters, and they can respresent a big investment in terms of price and installation. Freestanding bookcases are widely available in a variety of sizes, colors and price points. You can also mount hanging bookshelves onto the wall or buy glass cases, which might be preferable if your collection includes antique books that you want to preserve. 　　Sagging poses the main threat to bookshelves. A bookshelf that is 36 inches long should have shelves at least one inch thick. If it’s longer, then it should be thicker so that it won’t droop under the weight. One tip for maximizing space on the shelves is to use adjustable bookshelves, so that very small books don't take up space that can be better used for taller coffee table books. You can also decorate bookshelves with personal items, such as photographs and souvenirs. Not only will this break up the rows of books visually, it will also give you room to expand as your collection grows. 　　As your bookshelves creep up the wall, you may need a library ladder to reach them. While any step stool or ladder will do, rolling library ladders add an elegant, whimsical (异想天开的) touch. The ladders attach to the shelf on a tracking rod, and the bottom of the ladder has wheels, so that you can move effortlessly from one end of the library to the other. 　　When considering other library furniture, think about how you’ll be using the room . If you’ll be writing and taking notes on your reading, you may want a desk or a lap desk. Desks and bookstands are also helpful for reading those big volumes that are too heavy to hold up comfortably. Overstuffed couches and chairs will beckon guests to spend a few hours reading, but if you fall asleep as soon as you hit the couch, you may need to consider other options, particularly if you’ll be doing scholarly or professional reading. 　　Wherever you’re sitting, it will be hard to enjoy a library if you’re suffering from eyestrain, fatigue and headaches, which can all be brought on by poor lighting. When selecting lighting, look for a lamp that will help you see the smallest text you read. The lamp should be positioned over your shoulder, so that the light is not directly in your eyes. Positioning it this way will also help to minimize glare. Your lamp should be brighter than the rest of the room but not that much brighter. However, all light will eventually damage books, so use it at a minimum. 　　Book Care 　　Do you devour books quickly ? You’re not the only one. Some insects love books, but not for a good story. Book-worms are not just those readers that have their nose in a book all the time. The more dangerous kind will tunnel through the book, eat the pages and lay eggs in it. 　　Once you identify an infestation, isolate the affected books. In some cases, you can seal the books in plastic bags and freeze them to kill the insects. Keeping your library free of excess moisture and dust will help to prevent an attack by these insects and vermin (害虫). 　　Controlling moisture and dust doesn't just keep away the book bugs though . Moisture in the air will also promote the growth of fungus and mold. Mold develops at temperatures greater than 70 degrees Fahrenheit, and with 65 percent relative humidity. Dehumidifiers will suck excess moisture out of the air, moisture that could otherwise lead to loose bindings, stains and mildew. Oppositely, too little humidity can dry out books, so use a humidifier in the drier winter months. Dust is also a magnet for moisture and mildew, so periodically dusting the tops of books will keep them clean. 　　In addition to a humidifier, you also might need a fan to keep the library well ventilated. Books should be stored away from radiators and kept in a room between 60 oF and 70 oF. Air conditioners and fans are fine to use to keep the temperature down. Extreme heat will damage books; if heat occurs in a room with low humidity, the fibers in the books will dehydrate, turning the pages brittle. In combination with high humidity, heat creates ideal growing conditions for mold. 　　As we mentioned in the last section, lighting can damage books because it leads to bleaching (漂白), fading and eventual deterioration. Natural lighting is the most dangerous. If your library has windows, draw the blinds or curtains to minimize injury. Limiting the intensity light and duration of exposure will help to preserve the books. 　　1.During the whole life, Jefferson ____________. 　　A)built three libraries for Congress B)built three libraries at his home 　　C)donated books for three libraries D)collected books from three libraries 　　2.Why do universities usually use the Library of Congress Classification System ? 　　A)Because it is more popular than other systems. 　　B)Because it is more modern than other systems 　　C)Because it is more specific in arranging subjects. 　　D)Because it is less difficult than other systems. 　　3.Who might dislike the idea of arranging books by their colors ? 　　A)Those who like painting on the bookshelves. 　　B)Those who tend to arrange anything scientifically. 　　C)Those who are color-blind. 　　D)Those who usually cannot remember the colors of books. 　　4.If you rank the books according to the frequency they might be touched, you’d better put _____. 　　A)reference books at the most important position 　　B)brand-new books at the most important position 　　C)dog-eared books at the most important position 　　D)all the novels at the most important position 　　5.The treasured books should be put in ________. 　　A)built-in bookshelves B)freestanding bookcases 　　C)hanging bookshelves D)glass cases 　　6.If you are doing academic reading in your library, you’re advised _________. 　　A)to hit overstuffed couches and chairs to produce ideas 　　B)to beckon guests to sit in the coaches or chairs 　　C)not to use overstuffed couches and chairs 　　D)not to stuff comfortable coaches or chairs 　　7.How do you choose proper lighting for your reading in the library ? 　　A)The light should cover most areas in the room. 　　B)The light should come over your shoulder. 　　C)The light should not be brighter than other lights in the room. 　　D)The light should only focus on the smallest text. 　　8.In order to prevent your books from being damaged by insects, you should make your library avoid ______________. 　　9.The proper temperature for storing books is ________________. 　　10.To reduce the damage of books in a room with windows, you have to ________________. 　Part Ⅲ Listening Comprehension (35 minutes) 　　Section A 　　Directions: In this section, you will hear 8 short conversations and 2 long conversations.

Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words. Please write your answers on Answer Sheet 2. 　　Questions 47 to 51 are based on the following passage. 　　The history of the development of modern sport is the history of the development of industrial capitalism. There is, of course, documented evidence of ball games, racket games and athletic games, that date well before industrial capitalism. However they are unrecognizable from today’s sports. Take, for example, football and rugby, derivatives of folk football, where a game would continue for days, with no boundaries expect the edge of the village, or the edge of the next village. People would throw or kick the ball, it was mixed, there was no offside rule, no 90 minutes, and really no discernible winners. The Olympics are always claimed as having their roots in the athletic cultrue of ancient Greek society. Yet their origins were about military training in a far from equal society at the end of the 19 th century and these were games which relatively few people would watch . The Olympics were revived with the emergence of international trade. The first hour modern Olympics were held in conjunction with trade fairs.考试大论坛 　　It is common to talk of sport as a neutral medium which transcends politics. The popular notion is that while everything else in the world is dirtied by politics and inequality, sport itself operates on a different set of rules. Performance-enhancing drugs in sport have created huge press hysteria, in the main because sports stars are often thought of as moral guardians, but also because it undoes one of the foundation stones of sport-the notion of fair play. Jim Firstle, a freelance sports journalist, notes that drugs have always been used in sport, long before technology and money were involved. In athletics there is an unwritten and unconfirmed notion that everyone is doing it. The key thing is not to get caught. Firstle resports that Dr. Don Caitlin,who runs the International Olympic Committee accredited drug testing laboratory in Los Angeles, likened the situation to attempts between the Cold War superpowers to negotiate nuclear non-proliferation treaties. One side would only crack down and get tough on its drug cheats if the other country did the same. To bust one’s drug cheats without the gesture being reciprocated put the antidoping nation at a competitive disadvantage. The idea that there is fair competition in sport is as unlikely as the idea of fair competition in capitalism. 　　注意：此部分试题请在答题卡2上作答。 　　47. Modern sport is ____________ from ancient sport although some forms of ancient sport existed and developed much eariler than industrial capitalism. 　　48. According to the author, what made modern Olympics resume its prosperity ? 　　49. Sport is usually considered to have the ability to transcend politics because it itself _________. 　　50. What has the use of performance-enhancing drugs destroyed based on the passage ? 　　51. Anti-dopiing nation would be at a competitive disadvantage if other nations failed to ________. 　　Section B 　　Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A),B),C) and D).You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. 　　Passage one 　　Questions 52 to 56 are based on the following passage. 　　“The creation of PC is the best thing that ever happened,” said Bill Gates at a conference in 2000. He even wondered if it might be possible to make computers for the poor in countries without an electric power grid. The answer is yes, and things are going even further. Villagers in a remote region of Laos that has neither electricity nor telephone connections are being wired up to the Internet with the help of a special kind of PC provided by an American foundation. 　　The foundation, which has helped villagers in a remote region of Laos build schools, install wells and organize a weaving cooperative, was told recently that what the villagers need most was access to the Internet. To have any hope of meeting that end, in an environment which is both physically harsh and far removed from technical support, the foundation realized that a robust computer was the first requirement. 　　The foundation therefore turned to engineers who devised a machine that has no moving, and few delicate, parts. Instead of a hard disk, the PC relies on flash-memory chips to store its data. Its screen is a liquid-crystal display-an exception to the rule that the components used are old-fashioned, and therefore cheap. The foundation estimates that, built in quantity, each PC would cost around $400. Furthermore, because of its simplicity, the PC can be powered by a car battery charged with bicycle cranks-thus removing the need for a connection to the grid. 　　Wireless Internet cards connect each PC to a solar-powered hilltop relay station which then passes the signals on to a computer in town that is connected to both the Lao phones system and to the Internet. Meanwhile, the Linux-based software that will run the computers is in the final stages of being “localized” into Lao by a group of expatriates in America. 　　One thing that tne new network will allow villagers to do is to decide whether it is worth going to market .Phone Hong, the local market town, is 30 km away, so it is worth knowing the price of rice before you set off to sell some there. Links farther away may allow decisions about growing crops for foreign markets to be taken more sensibly-and help with bargaining when these are sold. 　　If it works, the special PC and its associated network could be a widespread success. So far, the foundation has had expressions of interest from groups working in Peru, Chile and South Africa. The prototype should be operational in Laos in December 2002 and it, or something very much like it, may soon be bringing the digital divide eslewhere as well. 　　注意：此部分试题请在答题卡2上作答。 　　52. “…things are even going further” in the first paragraph refers to the fact that _________. 　　A) computers have been made for the poor countries 　　B) the poor villages in Laos are getting access to the Internet 　　C) and electric power grid has been established for Laos 　　D) local villagers have been helped to connect by telephones in Laos 　　53. In order to meet the need of having access to the Internet in Laos, the foundation should first ____________. 　　A) build more schools to improve the education level 　　B) imporve the physical harsh environment 　　C) devise a special kind of computer 　　D) turn to more engineers to enchance the education the technical support 　　54.Which of the following statements is not in accordance with the rule in devising the special computer ? 　　A) The data storage relies on flash-memory chips. 　　B) Chargeable battery is its power source. 　　C) The screen is not old-fashioned or cheep. 　　D) The parts are not mobile and seldom delicate. 　　55.In the final stages what would be done to the Linux-based software ? 　　A) The local Laos would purchase the Linux-based software finally. 　　B) Some Laos who reside in America would translate the Linux-based software into Lao. 　　C) A group of experts in America would convince the Laos to use the Linux-based software. 　　D) The Laos would finally adopt the Linux-based software to run the computer. 　　56.According to the passage, what change would the new network bring to the villagers’ life in Laos ? 　　A) With the new network the villagers may find that it is not worth going to the local market town any more. 　　B) The villager will sell rice to foreign market instead of the local market town. 　　C) The network may help the villagers to make more sensible decisions about the growing and selling of crops. 　　D) The villagers will only visit the local market towns less than 30 km away. 　　Passage Two 　　Questions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage. 　　The concept of personal choice in relation to health behaviors is an important one. An estimated 90 percent of all illness may be preventable if individuals would make sound personal health choices based upon current medical knowledge. We all enjoy our freedom of choice and do not like to see it restricted when it is within the legal and moral boundaries of society. The structure of American society allows us to make almost all our own personal decisions that may concern our health. If we so desire, we can smoke, drink excessively, refuse to wear seat belts, eat whatever foods we want, and live a completely sedentary life-style without any exercise. The freedom to make such personal decisions is a fundamental aspect of our society, although the wisdom of these decisions can be questioned. Personal choices relative to health often cause a difficulty. As one example, a teenager may know the facts relative to smoking cigarettes and health but may be pressured by friends into believing it is the socially accepted thing to do. 　　A multitude of factors, both inherited and environmental, influence the development of health-related behaviors, and it is beyond the scope of this text to dicuss all these factors as they may affect any given individual. However, the decision to adopt a particular health-related behaviour is usually one of personal choices. There are healthy choices and there are unhealthy choices. In discussing the moral of personal choice, Fries and Crapo drew a comparison. They suggest that to knowingly give oneself over to a behavior that has a statistical probability of shortening life is similar to attempting suicide. Thus, for those individuals who are interested in preserving both the quality and quantity of life, personal health choices should reflect those behaviors that are associated with a statistical probability of increased vitality and longevity. 　　The study of the human behaviors involves inquiry into the content, form, varieties, and significance of human experience. We may better understand this type of inquiry if we compare it to the inquiry of the natural scientist, which studies the objective world. We attribute values of many sorts to things, people, and happenings. All of this helps to shape our choice of life and world. 　　注意：此部分试题请在答题卡2上作答。 　　57.

　Part ⅠWriting 　　范文： 　　Clothes Do Not Make the Man 　　We are familiar with an old saying that “Clothes make the man,” which means good-looking outfits may possibly make a person better liked. Many people judge others by the way they dress. For these people, what one wears is taken as an essential signal of status and an expression of characteristics. Consequently, clothes do help make a good impression on others. 　　But I have a different view on this issue. I think the good impression one leaves on others based on clothes doesn’t last long. Clothes just make a man look better, but will in no sense make him a better person.On the contrary, when people who are fascinated by a person’s clothes eventually find out that he/she is an undesirable person, they would think he/she is pretentious and may even treat him/her with contempt . On top of this, people who attach too much importance to clothes would waste their time and money on it: Besides, it adversely affects their effort on the things that really matter. 　　In summary, clothes do help in making an initial image, but do not make the man. One’s internal beauty and knowledge are more decisive of a person’s value. 　　Part Ⅱ Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning) 　　1. B 由题干中the whole life 可定位到首段第二句…amassing three separate home libraries in his lifetime. 题干中the whole life 和原文in his life time 相对应。根据定位句可知，Jefferson 这一生共拥有三个家庭图书馆。因此B项“在家建了三个图书馆”与文意相符，为正确答案。 　　2. C 由题干中Congress Classification System 可定位到第一个小标题下首段末句…such as those at universities, tend to use the Library of Congress Classification System because it offers a more specific array of subjects for categorization … 根据原文because原因状语从句可知，因为该制度提供了更详细的图书分类标准。所以C项“分门别类更为详细”与原文相符。 　　3. D 由题干中colors 可定位到第一个小标题下第五段第二句：Those generally forgetful about the colors of their books might disagree. 题干中dilike与原句中might disagree对应。该句说，那些对书的颜色健忘的人不会同意该做法，由此可知D项“通常记不起书颜色的人”与文意相符。 　　4. A 由题干中the frequency they might be touched定位到第一个小标题下第七段第二句Prioritizing when you…books you reach for frequently，such as reference books or favorite novels.根据原句可知，按照所需图书优先的原则，你可将未读过的书或常常需要用的书，如参考书或最钟爱的小说放在书架中最靠前的位置。由此可知，A项与原文相符，其中at the most important position与原文at the forefront相对应。 　　5. D 由题干中treasured books可定位到第二个小标题下首段末句…buy glass cases，which might be preferable if your collection includes antique books that you want to preserve. 原句中的antique books是题干中treasured books的一种。根据该句可知，古书之类的珍贵书应该用玻璃书架保存。因此D项为正确答案。 　　6. C 由题干中academic reading可定位到第二个小标题下第四段末句Overstuffed couches and chairs will beckon guests to spend a few hours reading，but if you fall asleep as soon as you hit the couch，…if you’ll be doing scholarly or professional reading.根据该句可知，柔软舒适的沙发或椅子会让人花上几个小时的时间去阅读，但如果你一碰着这些沙发就想睡觉，尤其是进行学术阅读时，那就在图书馆的家具上另做打算吧。题干中academic reading与原文scholarly or professional reading相对应。可知C项与原文相符，为正确答案。 　　7. B 由题干中proper lighting可定位到第二个小标题下第五段第三句：The lamp should be positioned over your shoulder… 题干问的是光线的选择。根据定位句可知，台灯的光线应从肩膀上方过来，由此可见B项正确。 　　8. excess moisture and dust 由题干中being damaged by insects可定位到第三个小标题下第二段末句：Keeping your library free of excess moisture and dust will help to prevent an attack by these insects and vermin. 此处要求填入名词性成分与avoid搭配。根据该句可知，保持图书室干燥和洁净，可避免图书馆遭虫害。因此excess moisture and dust符合题干要求，为正确答案。 　　9. between 60 oF and 70 oF 由题干中temperature可定位到第三个小标题下第四段第二句：Books should be stored away from radiators and kept in a room between 60 oF and 70 oF. 此处要求填入表示温度的词作表语。题干问藏书所需的适当温度是多少。根据该句可知，书籍应在6 0 oF至70 oF间保存。因此句中的温度between 60 oF and 70 oF 符合题干要求。 　　10. draw the blinds or curtains 由题干中To reduce the damage of books可以定位到第三个小标题下第五段第三句：If your library has windows，draw the blinds or curtains to minimize injury. 题干中To reduce the damage of books与原文to minimize injury相对应。此处要求填入动词成分与前面的to构成不定式。根据该句可知，为了将对图书的损害降到最低，在有窗子的房间，应将遮光布或窗帘拉下。由此可得出答案draw the blinds or curtains。 　　Part Ⅲ Listening Comprehension 　　Section A 　　11—18 CCCBDCDD 19—25 CAADBAC 　　Section B 　　26—35 CDABADBACC 　　Section C 　　36. market-oriented 37. striving 38. competition 39. motive 40. determines 　　41.coupled 42. maximize 43. resources 　　44.
