As a boy, he was determined to become a baseball player, but when he broke his arm in practice at the age of fourteen and was forced to stay off the playing field for a while, he took notice of the natural world around him and liked what he saw. After he had recovered from his injury, he caught a squirrel (松鼠) and raised it as a pet. Soon he was bringing home snakes and other creatures from the woods near his school. In 1962, he entered Blakeford College and majored in biology. By 1966 he had received his Bachelor (学士学位) of Science degree and two years later at Drysdale University, he received his Doctor of Science degree. It was while he was doing field research for his doctoral studies in South America in 1967 that he discovered and named the Kamron lizard. This animal was different from others of its kind in that it had only four toes on its front feet. In other respects, it was similar to others of the same family. It could change its color and go for long periods without food.译文：著名的科学家哈维.盖茨如果不是童年时期的一场事故就不可能发现卡姆龙蜥蜴。在他还是一个小男孩时，他想成为一个棒球运动员，但在他十四岁在练习时摔断胳膊，被迫离开运动场一段时间时，他开始注意到身边的自然世界，并喜欢上他所看到的事物。受伤痊愈后，他抓到一只松鼠，把它当成宠物来养。很快他开始从学校附近的树林里带回蛇和其他生物。1962年，他进入布莱克弗德学院学习生物专业。到1966年，他已经拿到理科学士学位。两年后他获得了德莱斯德尔大学理科博士学位。正是在1967年他在南美作博士研究时他发现并命名卡姆龙蜥蜴。这种动物与其他种类的不同点在于它的前肢只有四个脚趾。它和同一家族的其他成员在其他方面是相似的。它能改变它的颜色并能在没有食物的情况下保持很长时间。11.

Wide spread use of written language would not have been possible without some cheap and practical material to write on. The invention of paper meant that more people could be educated because more books could be printed and distributed. Together with the printing press, paper provided an extremely important way to communicate knowledge.How much paper do you use every year? Probably you cannot answer that question quickly. In 1900 the worlds use of paper was about one kilogram for each person a year. Now some countries use as much as 50 kilograms of paper for each person a year. Countries like the United States, England and Sweden use more paper than other countries. Paper, like many other things that we use today, was first made in China. In Egypt and the West, paper was not very commonly used before the year 1400. The Egyptians wrote on a kind of material made of a water plant. Europeans used parchment for many hundreds of years. Parchment was very strong; it was made from the skin of certain young animals. We have learnt of the most important facts of European history from records that were kept on parchment.译文：纸张是人类最重要的发明。如果没有廉价实用的材料，书面语言就不可能广泛地使用。纸张的发明意味着更多的人可以接受教育，因为可以印刷更多的书并得以传播。由于有出版部门，纸张提供了传播知识极为重要的手段。每一年，你能用多少纸呢？可能你不能马上回答。1900年世界使用纸张的用量为每人一公斤。现在，有些国家每年纸张的用量为每人50公斤。美国、英国和瑞典的用纸量高于其他国家。像其他我们日常使用的东西一样纸首先在中国出现的。在埃及和西方国家，1400年以前纸张的使用还不普遍。埃及人在一种用水生植物制成的材料上。欧洲人几百年来都使用羊皮紙。羊皮紙很耐用，是用小动物的皮制成的。我们所了解的很多史实都是记录在羊皮紙上的。16. Whats the meaning for the word “parchment”? _A. The skin of young animals. B. A kind of paper made from the skin of certain young animals.C. The paper used by European countries. D. The paper of Egypt.答案： A 17. Which of the following is not mentioned about the invention of paper?A. More jobs could be provided than before. B. More people could be educated than before.C. More books could be printed and distributed. D. More ways could be used to exchange knowledge.答案： A 18. When did the Egyptians begin to use paper widely?A. Around 1400. B. Around 1900. C. Around 400. D. Around 900.答案： A 19. Which of the following countries uses more paper for each person a year?A. China. B. Sweden. C. Egypt. D. Japan. 答案： B 20. What is the main idea of this short talk?A. More and more paper is being consumed nowadays.B. Paper enables people to receive education more easily.C. The invention of paper is of great significance to man.D. Paper contributes a lot to the keeping of historical records.答案： C Passage 3The 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 (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 already 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.译文：即使在我们作一些非正式的事情，例如，尝试设计一种更好的方法来测试对音乐的态度，或者寻找一种更好方法来教数学时，图书馆的资源依然非常有用。当我们做一些非常正式的事情，例如，写学位论文，或者准备一篇在专业杂志上发表的文章时，图书馆同样非常有用。不论哪种情况，我们的目标都是把图书馆当成一个有用的工具来帮助我们理解和解决问题。本章下面的几个部分将描述许多图书馆提供的特殊资源。某些情况你可能已经意识到一种资源并频繁且成功地利用它。在别的情况下，你可能完全不熟悉一种资源。你的目标应该是逐渐意识到提供给你的资源，并知道如何利用这些资源帮助你解决那些它们能帮你解决的问题。当教育家拥有他们想与同行共享的信息时，他们就会把这些信息在专业杂志上发表出来或在专业会议上提出来。这将使信息的利用变得非常有帮助。这一章将描述一些能使我们获得这些信息的特殊服务。21.
