Public bookshelves are appearing across Germany on street corners，city squares and in suburban supermarkets.In these free-for-all libraries，people can grab whatever they want to read，and leave behind anything they wa nt for others.There’s no need to register，no due date，and you can take or give as many as you want.“This project is aimed at everyone who likes to read.It is open for everybody，” Michael Aubermann，one of the organizers of the free book exchange said.

The western city’s lat est public shelf was put up next to Bayenturm.It is the fourth free shelf that Aubermann’s group，the Cologne Citizen’s Foundation，has placed outside.“We set up our other outdoor shelves last year and it’s been working really well，” said Aubermann.The public bookshelves，which are usually financed by donations and cared for by local volunteer groups，have appeared independently of each other in many cities，suburbs and villages.Each shelf holds around 200 books and it takes about six weeks for a complete turnover，with all the old titles replaced by new ones.

Even commercial book stores and online book sellers seem to support the idea of free book exchanges.“We see this project rather as a sales promotion than as competition，” said Elmar Muet her.“If books are present everywhere，it helps our business，too.”

So far，the Cologne book group has had few problems with damage or other problems.Aubermann said，“Propaganda (宣传) is the only kind of literature we do not allow here.”

At another bookshelf in the Bayenthal neighborhood，the lower shelves are reserved for children’s literature only.“It is important that we make it easy for everyone to participate in this ‘reading culture on the street’—from old readers to kids to immigrants，” Aubermann said.

While most of the shelves have so far been put up in upscale_neighborhoods，Aubermann and the 20 volunteers who help look after the project are planning to put up future shelves in poor neighborhoods，where citizens often don’t have as much access to literature.

Preparations are underway around the world for Chinese New Year (Feb 19) and celebrations in China will be mirrored across the planet wherever the Chinese Diaspora (华侨) calls home. Here are some Chinatowns for those outside of China wishing to mark the day.

London

Although it may not be as large or as long-built as others, having only become a center for the

Chinese community during the 1950s, London's Chinatown is a perfectly formed little firework that

knows how to see in the year with a bang. Decorated with red lanterns (灯笼), previous years have

seen shows with acrobatics (杂技), martial arts (武术), dance and opera nearby.

San Francisco

San Francisco's Chinatown is perhaps the most famous in the United States. The city was

the main entry-point for Chinese who had crossed the Pacific to the USA during the early 19th century. Between the Grant Avenue and the Stockton Street, this historic area is a local treasure, attracting more visitors per year than the Golden Gate Bridge.

Bangkok

With a more than 100-year-old history, the Thai capital's Chinatown contains complex streets

offering all kinds of tasty treats, clothes, toys and antiques. Sunday market days are such a

good time to get the full atmosphere of the neighborhood. The area is also known for its gold

dealers, whose shops line the road.

Mauritius

Found in Port Louis, this Mauritian Chinatown shows the island nation's rich multicultural diversity. Established in the early years of the 20th century by settlers from China, its tiny shops and restaurants serve locals and visitors. During the Chinese Spring Festival, the most

exciting sight is the Dragon Dances on Rue Royale when Chinese musicians and dancers perform the

traditional Lion dances through the streets.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。

Hybrid cars （混合动力车） are cars that run on petrol and electricity. They have a small standard

petrol engine and a battery (电池) electric motor to provide electric power.

There are some differences between different models of hybrid cars, but the general principle

is that the car runs on petrol, and the electric motor kicks in when additional power is required,

for example, when going uphill or accelerating. In some hybrid cars the petrol engine turns itself

off when not needed, for example when the car has stopped at traffic light, keeping only the electric

engine running.

Conventional cars have large engines to deal with driving uphill and accelerating. Hybrid cars

have much smaller petrol engines, improved by electric motors when needed, so they use less petrol.

Another way that fuel consumption is cut is by a system of "regenerative (再生的) braking". The

electric motor is used to slow down the car, rather than conventional brakes. The energy produced

by slowing the car is changed into electrical power, which is automatically stored in the battery.

In effect, the battery recharges when you brake. In conventional cars the energy produced when

braking is wasted.

In 1928 Ferdinand Porsche built an experimental hybrid car. The first mass-produced hybrid car, the Toyota Prius, came out in Japan at the end of 1997. However, hybrid cars became

available in the USA only in 1999. As they use less fuel, hybrid cars are cheaper to run. There

are also many voices in place to encourage people to buy them. In some countries, hybrid car owners

pay a lower rate of tax, and don't have to pay on certain roads. In some cities, hybrid cars are

allowed to park for free.

32. Hybrid cars consume less energy than conventional cars because hybrid cars _____.

A. have large engines to deal with accelerating

B. have conventional brakes to slow down the car

C. have electric power to assist when needed

D. have no energy consumption when stopping

33. In regenerative braking, _____.

A. energy wasted in conventional cars is stored in the battery

B. the conventional brakes are used to slow down the car

C. the battery charges itself when the car is accelerating

D. the petrol engine is usually turned off automatically

34. From the last paragraph we can learn that Hybrid cars ____.

A. were first available in the USA

B. will gain more popularity

C. free their owners from tax

D. are free to park anywhere in the city

35. The main purpose of this text is to_____.

A. show haw hybrid cars slow down

B. encourage people to buy hybrid cars

C. inform people a kind of energy-saving cars

D. explain why hybrid cars use less energy

参考答案32. D 33. B 34. A 35. C

Tu Youyou has become the first Chinese woman to win a Nobel Prize, for her work in helping to create an anti-malaria(疟疾) medicine. The 84-year-old’s route to the honour has been anything but traditional. In China, she is being called the "three nos" winner: no medical degree, no doctorate, and she’s never worked overseas.

In 1967, malaria, a then deadly disease, spread by mosquitoes was decimating Chinese soldiers fighting Americans in the jungles of northern Vietn am. A secret research unit “Mission 523 “was formed to find a cure for the illness. Two years later, Tu Youyou was instructed to become the new head of “Mission 523”.

“Mission523” r ead ancient books carefully for a long time to find historical methods of fighting malaria. When she started her search for an anti-malarial drug, more than 240,000 compounds(化合物) around the world had already been tested, without any success. Finally, the team found a brief reference to one substance, sweet wormwood（青蒿）, which had been used to treat malaria in China around 400 AD. The team took out one active compound in wormwood, and then tested it. But nothing was effective until Tu Youyou returned to the original ancient text. After another careful reading, she changed the drug recipe one final time, heating the compound without allowing it to reach boiling point.

After the drug showed promising results in mice and monkeys, Tu Youyou volunteered to be the first human recipient of the new drug. “

In any case, Tu Youyou is consistently praised for her drive and passion. One former colleague. Lianda Li, says Ms Tu is “unsociable and quite straightforward”, adding that “if she disagrees with something, she will say it.”

Another colleague, Fuming Liao, who has worked with Tu Youyou for more than 40 years, describes her as a “tough and stubborn woman”. Stubborn enough to spend decades piecing together ancient texts, she applies them to modern scientific practices. The result has saved millions of lives.

25. According to Para. I, we can learn that_______.

A. Tu is the first woman to win a Nobel Prize

B. Tu has a medical degree

C. Tu’s road to success is not traditional

D. Tu discovered a cure for malaria

26. The underlined word “decimating” can be replaced by_______.

A. encouraging

B. killing

C. annoying

D. benefiting

27. Which of the following statements is true?

A. Tu first invented the idea of using sweet wormwood as a cure.

B. Tu was inspired by medical textbooks published in northern vietnem.

C. The compound needs to be heated to the boiling point to be effective.

D. Over 240,000 compounds were proved ineffective before Tu’s seareh.

28. Tu Youyou can be best described as a _______ person.

A. devoted and stubborn

B. straightforward and mean

C. considerate and tough

D. sociable and generous

【解析】

试题分析：本文介绍了中国第一个诺贝尔医学奖获得者屠呦呦并讲述了她利用青蒿素治疗疟疾的研究过程以及周围的人对她的评价。

25. C 细节理解题。根据本段第二句The 84-year-old’s route to the honour has been anything but traditional.句中的“anything but”意为“绝不...”，可知屠呦呦的成功之路和传统的成功之路完全不一

样。故C正确。

26. B 猜测词义题。根据句中a then deadly disease可知当时疟疾是一种致命的疾病，这种并可以导致人死亡。所以本句In 1967, malaria, a then deadly disease, spread by mosquitoes was decimating Chinese soldiers fighting Americans in the jungles of northern Vietnam.中的下划词意为“killing”，指这种疾病正在杀死在越南作战的中国士兵。故B正确。

27. D 细节理解题。根据第三段第二句Wh en she started her search for an anti-malarial drug, more than 240,000 compounds(化合物) around the world had already been tested, without any success.屠呦呦实验了二十四万多种化合物，但是都没有成功。结果证明这些化合物对于疟疾这种病是无效的。故D正确。
