2015广州市高考英语阅读、信息匹配自练（12）答案（四月）阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的a,b,c或d四个选项中，选出最佳选项。all over the world, libraries have begun the herculean task of making faithful digital copies of the books, images and recordings that preserve the intellectual effort of humankind. for armchair scholars, the work promises to bring such a wealth of information to the desktop that the present internet may seem amateurish in retrospect. librarians see three clear benefits to going digital. first, it helps them preserve rare and fragile objects without denying access to those who wish to study them. the british library, for example, holds the only medieval manuscript of beowulf in london. only qualified scholars were allowed to see it until kevin s. kiernan of the university of kentucky scanned the manuscript with three different light sources (revealing detail not normally apparent to the naked eye) and put the images up on the internet for anyone to peruse (阅览). tokyos national diet library is similarly creating highly detailed digital photographs of 1,236 woodblock prints, scrolls and other materials it considers national treasures so that researchers can scrutinize them without handling the originals. a second benefit is convenience. once books are converted to digital form, patrons can retrieve them in seconds rather than minutes. several people can simultaneously read the same book or view the same picture. clerks are spared the chore of reshelving. and libraries could conceivably use the internet to land their virtual collections to those who are unable to visit in person. the third advantage of electronic copies is that they occupy millimeters of space on a magnetic disk rather than meters on a shelf. expanding library buildings is increasingly costly. the university of california at berkeley recently spent $46 million on an underground addition to house 1.5 million books an average cost of $30 per volume. the price of disk storage, in contrast, has fallen to about $2 per 300-page publication and continues to drop.1. the best title for this passage would be _.a. three benefits of libraries b. libraries going digitalc. space-saving e-learning d. security of electronic reading66. which paragraph(s) in the text offer(s) further explanation of the central idea?a. paragraphs 2, 3 and 4b. paragraphs 3 and 4c. paragraphs 2 and 4d. paragraph 43. which one of the following is mentioned as the advantages of e-libraries？a. old manuscripts can be moved more easily b. materials can be examined without being touchedc. fewer staff will be required in librariesd. libraries will be able to move underground4. what does the word scrutinize probably mean?a. keep for a while b. reprintc. restored. examine carefully【参考答案】14、bacd【阅读理解】-(福建卷)jacqueline bouvier kennedy

阅读理解.theres an energy crisis in america, and it has nothing to do with fossil fuels. millions of us get up each morning already weary over the day holds. “i just cant get started.” people say. but its not physical energy that most of us lack. sure, we could all use extra sleep and a better diet. but in truth, people are healthier today than at any time in history. i can almost guarantee that if you long for more energy, the problem is not with your body.what youre seeking is not physical energy. its emotional energy. yet, sad to say life sometimes seems designed to exhaust our supply. we work too hard. we have family obligations (义务). we encounter (遭遇) emergencies and personal crises. no wonder so many of us suffer from emotional fatigue (疲劳), a kind of utter exhaustion of the spirit.and yet we all know people who are filled with joy, despite the unpleasant circumstances of their lives. even as a child i observed people who were poor or disabled or ill, but who nevertheless faced life with optimism and vigor (活力). consider laura hillenbrand, who despite an extremely weak body wrote the best-seller seabiscuit. hillenbrand barely had enough physical energy to drag herself out of bed to write. but she was fueled by having a story she wanted to share. it was emotional energy that helped her succeed. unlike physical energy, which is finite (有限的) and diminishes (减少) with age, emotional energy is unlimited and has nothing to do with genes or upbringing. so how do you get it? you cant simply tell yourself to be positive. you must take action. here are six practical strategies that work.1. do something new.very little thats new occurs in our lives. the impact of this sameness on our emotional energy is gradual, but huge: its like a tire(轮胎) with a slow leak（漏）. you dont notice it at first, but eventually youll get a flat. its up to you to plug the leakeven though there are always a dozen reasons to stay stuck in your dull routines of life. thats where maura, 36, a waitress, found herself a year ago. fortunately, maura had a lifelinea group of women friends who meet regularly to discuss their lives. their lively discussions spurred maura to make small but nevertheless life altering changes. she joined a gym in the next town. she changed her look with ashort haircut and new black t-shirts. eventually, maura gathered the courage to quit her job and start her own business. heres a challenge: if its something you wouldnt ordinarily do, do it. try a dish youve never eaten. listen to music youd ordinarily tune out. youll discover these small things add to your emotional energy.2. reclaim lifes meaning.so many of my patients tell me that their lives used to have meaning, but that somewhere along the line things went stale (厌倦的). the first step in solving this meaning shortage is to figure out what you really care about, and then do something about it. a case in point is ivy, 57, a pioneer in investment banking. “i mistakenly believed that all the money i made would mean something.” she says. “but i feel lost, like a 22-year-old wondering what to do with her life.” ivys solution? she started a program that shows wall streeters how to donate time and money to poor children. in the process, ivy filled her life with meaning.3. put yourself in the fun zone.most of us grown-ups are seriously fun-deprived（缺乏的）. high-energy people have the same day-to-day work as the rest of us, but they manage to find something enjoyable in every situation. a real estate broker i know keeps herself amused on the job by mentally redecorating the houses she shows to clients（客户）. “i love imagining what even the most run-down house could look like with a little tender loving care,” she says. “its a challengeand the least desirable properties are usually the most fun.” we all define fun differently, of course, but i can guarantee this: if you put just a bit of it into your day, you energy will increase quickly4. bid farewell （告别）to guilt and regret.everyones past is filled with regrets that still cause pain. but from an emotional energy point of view, they are dead weights that keep us from moving forward. while they cant merely be willed away, i do recommend you remind yourself that whatever happened in the past, nothing can change that. holding on to the memory only allows the damage to continue into the present.5. make up your mindsay youve been thinking about cutting your hair short. will it look stylishor too extreme? you endlessly think it over. having the decision hanging over your head is a huge energy drain. every time you cant decide, you burden yourself with alternatives. quit thinking that you have to make the right decision; instead, make a choice and dont look back.6. give to get.emotional energy has a kind of magical quality: the more you give, the more you get back. this is the difference between emotional and physical energy with the latter. you have to get it to be able to give it. with the former, however, you get it by giving it. start by asking everyone you meet, “how are you?” as if you really want to know, and then listen to the reply. be the one who hears. most of us also need to smile more often. if you dont smile at the person you love first thing in the morning, youre sucking energy out of your relationship. finally, help another personand make the help real, concrete. give a massage to someone you love, or cook her dinner, then, expand the circle to work. try asking yourself what youd do if your goal were to be helpful rather than efficient. after all, if its true that what goes around comes around, why not make sure that whats circulating around you is the good stuff?1. laura hillenbrand is an example quoted to show how _ in life.a. physical energy can contribute to ones unsuccessb. emotional energy can contribute to ones successc. physical energy can contribute to ones successd. emotional energy can contribute to ones unsuccess2. the author believes emotional
