SUN HOTEL and ROSE HOTEL are open for _______ months of the year.A. nineB. tenC. elevenD. twelveBThe first time I saw Carlos I would never have believed he was going to change my life. I had my arms full of books and I was tearing into the classroom when 1 ran into something solid. It was Carlos.“My God, you’re tall,” he said.Of course, the class began to laugh. Angry, I walked to my seat without a word.I glanced back to see if Reed Harrington was laughing with the rest. That would be the last straw. But Reed was studying chemistry and did not seem to be aware of anything else. I didn’t know why I considered Reed my friend. Maybe just because he was a good two inches taller than I. Anyway, every time I blew out my birthday candles and made a wish, it was for a date with Reed Harrington.“Take that seat，” Mr. McCarthy told the cocky newcomer Carlos，pointing to the only empty one，in the back of the room.Carlos grinned, “But I need a couple of dictionaries.” Again the class laughed, but now they were laughing with Carlos，not at him. He had been here only 10 minutes and already he had them on his side.It was the school elections that made me think of Carlos again. Reed Harrington was voted president and Carlos vice-president. “How come ?” I kept asking myself, “How come this shrimp who’s only been in town for a little over a month gets to be so popular?”So that morning，I stopped Carlos and said，“It doesn’t seem to bother you —being short.”He looked up at me, “Of course I mind being short. But there isn’t anything I can do about it. When I realized I was going to have to spend my life in this undersized skin，I just decided to make the best of it and concentrate on being myself.” “You seem to get along great,”I admitted, “But what about me? Nobody wants to date a girl taller than he is.” “The trouble with you is you’re afraid to be yourself. You’re smart. And you could be pretty. In fact, you might be more than pretty.” I felt myself turning red…60．The author was angry because ________.A．the class made fun of her B．Carlos was too rude to herC．she had to carry many books D．Reed Harrington didn’t date her 61．Which of the following about Carlos is NOT TRUE?A．He was popular. B．He was new in the school.C．He was shorter than the author. D．He was chosen president in the school elections. 62．We can infer from the passage that ________.A．Carlos and the author have become good friends B．the author will be more confident C．Carlos always encouraged the author D．the author was tall63．What’s the best title of the passage?A．How to be popular B．A tall girlC．Be yourself D．Something about CarlosCThe Chinese word “Shanzhai” means a small mountain village, but now it becomes an accepted na me for fakes (假货) after “Sh anzhai Cellphones” produced by small workshops in southern China became popular in the mainland market over the past two years.Besides “Shanzhai” has electronic products, there are “Shanzhai” movies, “Shanzhai” stars and even a “Shanzhai” Spring Festival Gala, a copy of the 25-year-old traditional show presented by CCTV on Chinese Lunar New Year’s Eve.“Shanzhai” has become a culture of its own, symbolizing anything that imitates something famous. The phenomenon has caused a public debate over whether it is healthy or sick being a copycat（盲目的模仿者）.In southwestern China’s Chongqing Municipality（直辖市）, a “Shanzhai” version “Bird’s Nest” woven by farmers with bamboo attracts wide attention and the “Shanzhai” version “Water Cube” is popular with tourists too. Both are copies of the famous Olympics buildings in Beijing.Xie Xizhang, a literature critic, said that taking the “Shanzhai” Gala as an example, when the traditional CCTV program becomes less and less attractive to the audience, the “Shanzhai” version appears naturally to attract people. “In spite of its poor techniques and operation, ‘Shanzhai’culture meets the psychological demands of common people and could be a comfort to their minds,” Xie said.Tian Huiqun, a professor at Beijing Normal University, said that “Shanzhai” culture never c opies classic things, only trendy products. In that sense, it’s like a computer virus, multiplying without meaning.Though controversial（有争议的）, “Shanzhai” culture is becoming a widely accepted phenomenon.“To the mainstream culture, the rise of ‘Shanzhai’ culture is a challenge as well as a motivation, ”said Xie. Tian said different kinds of cultures developing together is an ideal situation and it is for the public to choose.64. The Chinese Word“Shanzhai”may have its origin in _________.A. fake cellphonesB. electronic productsC. Spring Festival GalaD. Olympics buildings65. According to the passage, “Shanzhai” culture refers to ________.A. The action that a person imitates famous peopleB. anything that imitates something famousC. those similar names to famous brandD. products with poor techniques and quality66. We can infer that the mainstream culture ________.A. w ill be held back by “Shanzhai” cultureB. will sooner or later be replaced by “Shanzhai”cultureC. may develop faster beca use of the challenging of “Shanzhai”cultureD. thinks nothing of the challenge of “Shanzhai”cultureDCollege 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 assignment 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（目录）. Many small drawers on the large wooden cabinets(柜橱) 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 (为…编目录) by the first word of the book tit le, 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（图书编目号码）. This is the numerical code that shows where the book is located in the library. The library has open and closed stacks（书架）. 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 accessible only to teachers and graduate students.For undergraduates like you, borrowing books from the closed stacks have to be done with the helpof 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.67. 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.68. What letter you should look for on the title card for the book “The Old Man and the Sea” by theHemingway?A. The letter “t”.B. The letter “h”.C. The letter “s”.D. The letter “o”.69. How are books arranged and shelved in the library?A. By call numbers.B. By call slips of authors’ names.C. In alphabetical order.D. By the first word of book title.70. Suppose you are an undergraduate and you want to borrow a book from the closed stacks, which is thecorrect order to do it?a. go to the main catalogb. show your call slip and library cardc. find out the call numberd. fill out a call slipe. get the cards for the booksA. a-b-e-d-cB. a-e-c-d-bC. b-a-c-d-eD. b-c-a-e-d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。
