If an idea for improving the window display of a neighborhood store flashes to me,I step in and make the suggestion to the storekeeper.One discovery I made about giving-away is that it is almost impossible to give away anything in this world without getting something back,though the return often comes in an unexpected form.One Sunday morning the local post office delivered an important special delivery letter to my home,though it was addressed to me at my office.I wrote the postmaster a note of appreciation.More than a year later I needed a post-office box for a new business I was starting.I was told at the window that there no boxes left, and that my name would have to go on a long waiting list.As I was about to leave,the postmaster appeared in the doorway.He had overheard(无意中听到)our conversation .“Wasnt it you that wrote us that letter a year ago about delivering a special delivery to your home? ”I said yes.“Well,you certainly are going to have a box in this post office if we have to make one for you.You dont know what a letter like that means to us.We usually get nothing but complaints”21.

When the author needed a post-office box,_ A. he had to put his name on a waiting list B. he wrote the postmaster a note of appreciation C. many people had applied for post-office boxes before him D. he asked the postmaster to make one for him答案及解释：C 原文说：“我的名字排在一长串等待呼叫的名单后面”，因此我们可以推测出：在我的前面有很多申请邮箱的人，故选C.25. In reply to the postmasterquestion,the author said_ A. it was the special delivery B. it was the post-office box C. it was the note of appreciation he wrote D. it was he who wrote him a letter a year ago答案及解释：D. 原文中有此暗示。当邮局局长问他那封信是否是他写的时候，他承认了。所以正确选项是D. Passage 4The resources of the library can be helpful even when we are doing something very informal,such as trying to devise a better way to measure attitudes toward music or looking for a better way to teach mathematics.The library can be equally helpful when we are doing something very formal,such as writing a dissertation(学位论文)or preparing an article for publication in a professional journal.In either case,our goal should be to use the library as a useful tool to help us understand and solve our problem.The following sections of this chapter will describe specific resources available in many libraries.In some cases you may alreadly be aware of a resource and may use it frequently and successfully.In other cases you may be completely unfamiliar with a resource.Your goal should be to become aware of what is available and to know how to use each of these resources to help you solve the problem they are designed to solve.When educators have a piece of information that they want to share with their colleagues,they often make this information available in professional journals or at professional meetings.It would often be useful to have access to such information, and this chapter will describe the special services that enable us to locate such information.26. The library resources can be helpful when we_ A. want to find a better way to measure attitudes toward music B. are preparing a paper for a professional journal C. are writing a dissertation D. All of the above答案及解释：D. 根据原文的第一段可以看出D才是正确答案，其他三项都片面了。27.

The chapter in question mainly_ A. deals with the ways of dissertation writing B. presents information on publishing papers in professinonal journals C. introduces some library services D. describes some professional meetings答案及解释：C. 根据原文的最后一段可以看出：这一章将主要介绍一些图书馆的服务功能。第三部分：词汇和结构（共25小题；每小题1分，满分25分）第一节：此小节共有15个未完成的句子，针对每个句子中未完成的部分有4个选项，请你从请你从A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并用铅笔将答题卡上的相应字母涂黑。示例 A B C D31.
