if you know where to go.central library: seattle, washington, united states the central library in seattle is modern and fashionable and has tourists from around the world paying visits and taking tours. it was designed by dutch architect rem koolhaas and american designer joshua ramus. tours began in 2006, two years after its opening. the library holds various art exhibitions, book signings

books. the long room houses one of the oldest harps（竖琴）in ireland. dating to the 15th century, the old harp is the model for the symbol foreland.geisel library, university of california: san diego, united states at first glance, it looks like a spaceship. architect william pereira, who helped design actual space launch facilities at cape canaveral in houston, texas, designed the library in 1970. it has been featured in sci-fi films, short stories and novels. the library hosts “dinner in the library,” which invites readers for cocktails, and also a special speech from distinguished authorstu delft library: the netherlands the library at the delft university of technology was constructed in 1997 and has more than 862,000 books, 16,000 magazine subscriptions and its own museumthe building itself exists beneath the ground, so you cant really see the actual library. what makes it interesting is the roof, which is a grassy hill. the roof covers 5,500 square meters. and it has become one of the most striking and greenest structures in the area.21which of the four libraries has the longest history?a. central library b. trinity college library c. geisel library d.tu delft library22what

single library in the world23in central library, you can _.a. drink cocktails b. buy souvenirs c. enjoy sci-fi films d. see the old harpbof course, she wasnt really my aunt and, out of fear, i never called her that to her face. i only referred to her as “my aunt fannie” because the name always made my father laugh quietly and gave my mother cause to look strictly at both of usat me for being disrespectful of my elder and at my father for encouraging my bad behavior. i enjoyed both reactions so i looked for every opportunity to work the name into as many conversations as possible. as a young woman, my mother had worked in the kitchen of a large victorian farmhouse. during those years my mother helped aunt fanny make the best blueberry jam (蓝莓酱) ever tasted by anyone in glenfield. she was well-known for her jam and for never sharing the recipe with others. even though my mother knew the recipe by heart, as long as aunt fannie was alive, she never made the jam without aunt fannie in our kitchen to direct the process and preserve the secret. each august, my mother would prepare me for aunt fannies visit. one year, after i had helped with the jam process aunt fannie gave me a coin and then made me promise that i would never spend it. “hold onto this coin,” she said, “and someday you will be rich. i still have my very first coin, given to me by my grandmother.” so i kept the coin in a small box and waited to become rich. i now have the blueberry jam recipe and the coin from aunt fannie. in peoples eyes aunt fannies success resulted from that secret recipe. but to me, it was just a common recipe. neither have significantly made me become a rich person, but i keep them as reminders to hold onto the valuable things in life. money can make you feel rich for a while, but it is the relationships and the memories of time spent with friends and family that truly leave you wealthy. and that is a fortune that anyone can build.24. why did the author always use

（慢性病）and it was basically off the charts with people living with rare diseasethey are so eager to find other people online who share their health concernsa disease is considered rare if it affects fewer than two hundred thousand people worldwidethe rise of social networking has made it easier for people with rare diseases to connect with each other and feel less alonesocial networking is also changing the way some doctors and patients communicate with each otherdrjeff livingston operates a medical center for women in irving, texashis office uses password-protected software to share information with patients“we provide the patient full access to their medical careanything i can see, the patient can seeall of their notes, all of their doctor visits are right thereall of their lab

medical carecit takes doctors closer to their patientsdit gives patients a medical test onlinedwhy does most of the world travel on the right side to day? theories differ, but theres no doubt napoleon was a major influence. the french have used the right since at least the late 18th century. some say that before the french revolution, noblemen drove their carriages on the left, forcing the peasants to the right. regardless of the origin, napoleon brought right-hand traffic to the nations he conquered, including russia, switzerland and germany. hitler, in turn, ordered right-hand traffic in czechoslovakia and austria in the 1930s. nations that escaped right-hand control, like great britain, followed their left-hand tradition.the u.s. has not always been a nation of right-hand drivers; earlier in its history, carriage and horse traffic travelled on the left, as it did in england. but by the late 1700s, people driving large wagons pulled by several pairs of horses began promoting a shift (改变) to the right. a driver would sit on the rear (后面的) left horse in order to wave his whip (鞭子) with his right hand; to see opposite traffic clearly, they travelled on the right.one of the final moves to firmly standardize traffic directions in the u.s. occurred in the 20th century, when henry ford decided to mass-produce his cars with controls on the left ( the reason was stated in a 1908 catalog: the convenience for passengers exiting directly onto the edge, especially if there is a lady to be considered).once these rules were set, many countries eventually adjusted to the right-hand standard, including canada in the 1920s, sweden in 1967 and burma in 1970.the u.k. and former colonies such as australia and india are among the western worlds few remaining holdouts(坚持不变者).several asian nations, including japan, use the left as wellthough many places use both right-hand-drive and left-hand-drive cars.32. why did people in switzerland travel on the right?a. they had used the right-hand traffic since the 18th century.b. rich people enjoyed driving their carriages on the right.c. napoleon introduced the right-hand traffic to this country.d. hitler ordered them to go against their left-hand tradition.33. of all the countries below, the one that travels on the right is _.a. austria b. englandc. japand. australia34. henry ford produced cars with controls on the left _.a. in order to change traffic directions in the u.s. b. so that passengers could get off convenientlyc. because rules at that time werent perfect d. though many countries were strongly against that35. according to the passage, which of the following is true?a. before the french revolution, all the french people used the right.b. people in britain and the u.s. travel on the same side nowadays.c. the burmese began to travel on the right in 1970. d. all the asian nations use the left at present.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)its normal to wake briefly during the night. 36 but if
