College libraries are designed primarily for research and study.To explain its use, let us choose a research topic and follow the step-by-step procedure of looking up the material for the paper．Suppose your aignment is to write a paper on a novel called The Sun Also Rises by American writer Hemingway．The first step is to go to the main catalog．Many small drawers on the large wooden cabinets are lined up in alphabetical(字母的)order．Each of the drawers contains hundreds of alphabetical ordered cards．These cards are printed references to all material available in the library．Title cards are cataloged by the first word of the book title, leaving out the articles like “a”, “an” and “the”．And then you get the cards for the books you need．On the upper left corner of each card is the call number．This is the numerical code that shows where the book is located in the library．The library has open and closed stacks．If your book is on the open stacks, you can go to the open-stack room, and according to the call number find it out by yourself．There are only about 30,000 books on open stacks, while most of the 800,000 books in our library are kept in closed stacks, which are acceible only to teachers and graduate students.For undergraduates like you, borrowing books from the closed stacks have to be done with the help of our librarian．In that case, you must fill out a call slip(纸条)for the book, showing the call number, author and title．You can get call slips on tables near the catalog cabinets．You show your call slip together with your library card to a librarian at the information desk．He or she will help you find the book out in the closed stacks.55.What is the main purpose of this text?
A.To present readers a brief introduction to a college library． B.To guide readers how to find books needed in a college library.C.To tell readers how to fill out a call slip in a college library.D.To show readers where to find books in a college library.56.What letter you should look for on the title card for the book The Old Man and the Sea by the

58.Suppose you are an undergraduate and you want to borrow a book from the closed stacks, which is

A.The organization of the Olympic Games must be improved.B.Different teams often have disputes when fighting for the first place.C.Any team that has disrespectful behavior should be suspended.D.Athletes should compete as individuals.C
Some people believe that international sport creates goodwill between the nations and that if countries play games together they will learn to live together.Others say that the opposite is true: international contests encourage false national pride and lead to misunderstanding and hatred.There is probably some truth in both arguments, but in recent years the Olympic Games have done little to support the view that sports encourage international brotherhood.Not only was there the incident of tragedy involving murders of athletes, but the Games were also ruined by leer incidents caused principally by minor national contests.One country received its second-place medals with visible anger after the hockey final.There had been noisy scenes at the end of the hockey match, as the losers disagreed with the final decisions.They believed that one of their goals should have been allowed and that their opponents’ victory was unfair.Their manager was in great anger when he said: “This isn’t hockey.Hockey and the International Hockey Federation are finished.” The president of the Federation said later that such behavior could result in the suspension(停赛)of the team for at least three years.The American basketball team announced that they would not yield first place to Ruia, after a disputable(有争议的)end to their contest.The game had ended in disorder.It was thought at first that the United States had won by a single point, but it was announced that there were three seconds still to play.A Ruian player then threw the ball from one end of the court to the other, and another player

From the beginning of human history, wild animals provided food, clothing and sometimes medicine for man.We may not depend as much on wild animals now.But we hear about them every day.Americans use the names of animals in many ways.Automobile manufacturers and gasoline companies
especially like to use big cats to sell their products.They like lions, tigers and wildcats.When and fiercely.So wildcats represent something fast and fierce.An early American use of the word wildcat was quite different.It was used to describe members of Congre who declared war on Britain in 1812.A magazine of that year said the wildcat congremen went home.It said they were unable to face the responsibility of having involved their country in an unneceary war.Wildcat also has been used as a name for money in the 1800s.At that time, some states permitted banks to make their own money.One bank in the state of Michigan offered paper money with a picture of a wildcat on it.Some banks, however, did not have enough gold to support all the paper money they offered.So the money had little or no value.It was called a wildcat bill or a wildcat banknote.The banks who offered this money were called wildcat banks.A newspaper of the time said those were the days of wildcat money.It said a man might be rich in the morning and poor by night.Wildcat then was also used for an oil well or gold mine that had almost no oil or gold in it.Dishonest developers would buy such property.Then they would sell it and leave town with the money.The buyers were left with worthle holes in the ground.Today, wildcat oil wells are in areas that are not known to have oil.63.What is the main idea of the paage?A.Wildcats and their stories.C.Varieties of animal species.B.Wildcats and their characters.D.Relationship between animals and humans.It’s going to be a busy day at Betsy Ro house in Philadelphia on Thursday.She won’t be there, since she died in 1836, but hundreds of tourists will be going through her house.You see, Thursday is Flag Day in the United States.The unofficial holiday commemorates the adoption of the stars-and-stripes design of the American flag by the Continental Congre 235 years ago, on June 14, 1777.According to lore, the Ro House is the birthplace of the nation’s flag.That’s open to debate, but it’s a story that schoolbooks still tell.Betsy Ro was a busysewing cushions for chairs in Philadelphia, which was the focus place of the American revolution against British rule.The Declaration of Independence by the colonists was signed there, and so was the new nation’s Constitution after independence was won.Widowed when her husband, a member of the local militia, was killed in a gunpowder explosion, Betsy Ro often mended the clothes of the rebels’ leader and future U.S.president, George Washington.According to what some say in history and others a stretch of what really happened, Washington asked Ro to design and sew the new nation’s flag.The story was promoted by Ro grandson, who wrote that Betsy Ro had “made with her hands the first flag.” She became a role model for girls-a shining example of women’s contributions to the nation’s history.Most research indicates that Ro did sew the first flag.She’s credited with substituting artful five-point white stars for six-pointed ones in the upper-left blue field.But many other accounts indicate George Washington brought the design to Ro and simply asked her to stitch it together.In a letter, Washington wrote: “We take the stars from Heaven, the red from our mother country, separating it by white stripes, thus showing that we have separated from her.And the white stripes shall go down to posterity as representing liberty.”

One poible version:
Forgivene is not something you give to someone else.It is a gift you give to yourself.A few months ago I entered for the election of monitor of our cla.Unfortunately, my efforts ended in failure because my closest friend carelely let out my plan to my opponent.Naturally, we broke up.So disappointed was I that I couldn’t focus my attention on anything.How tough a time it was until one day it flashed upon me that if I refused to forgive him, I would remain a prisoner of my hatred at the cost of a friend.I didn’t keep this “incident” in my mind any more.Gradually I recovered and we were friends again.My forgivene proved a great gift as it not only set me free but also won me a friend back.
