Some of you have asked about a guided tour but we find this rather confuses people. So, in this first week, we run a series of talks.
OK, now let me give you an outline of what's available to you. You’ll find that the computers are increasingly used as a research tool. The library computers are permanently online. Having found what you need, you’ll find you can readily save texts on your personal computer space to print off when you need them.
Naturally we do still have a full range of classic reference books for you to use. But you can just keep them for a certain time so that they will not disappear from the shelves for too long.

A 16-year-old girl from Changsha, Hunan province, successfully reached the top of Qomolangma, known as Mount Everest in the West, on Monday morning, becoming the youngest Chinese female to conquer the world’s highest top from the southern slope (坡).
Xu Zhuoyuan is a first year high school student from Hunan province. On April 15, she left Changsha for Nepal. On April 21, she began her long walk from Lukla. On April 28, she arrived at the base camp and started her altitude adaptation training at once. At 10 pm Beijing time on May 14, Xu started walking from Camp 4 at an altitude of 7, 950 meters on the southern slope of Qomolangma. After a punishing 10-hour climb, she successfully reached the summit.
Xu Zhuoyuan’s father, Xu Jianglei, was the first person from Hunan province to reach the top of Qomolangma. Xu Zhuoyuan has been exploring remote areas with him since she was very young. Despite her young age, Xu Zhuoyuan has already climbed five mountains over 5,000 meters in China. When she was 12 years old, she made a statement on Hunan TV saying, “I will climb Qomolangma.”
Four years later, she achieved her promise. Although Xu Zhuoyuan has rich climbing experience, she has been experiencing high-intensity professional training non-stop to conquer Qomolangma. Last year, she climbed Mount Muztagata, which stands 7, 546 meters.“Human beings are small in the face of nature. We should respect nature and get closer to Qomolangma,” said Xu Zhuoyuan.
She brought the gloves her father used when he reached the top with her as a form of inheritance and to bear witness to her own dream coming true. After finishing her university studies, she hopes to continue climbing and achieve the “7+ 2”(7 tops plus the North and South Poles).
24. When did Xu Zhuoyuan arrive at the base camp
A. On April 15. B. On April 21.

推理判断题。根据第三段中“When she was 12 years old, she made a statement on Hunan TV saying, ‘I will climb Qomolangma.’(12岁时，她在湖南电视台发表声明说：‘我要攀登珠穆朗玛峰。’)”和第四段中“Four years later, she achieved her promise. Although Xu Zhuoyuan has rich climbing experience, she has been experiencing high-intensity professional training non-stop to conquer Qomolangma.(四年后，她实现了自己的承诺。虽然徐卓媛有着丰富的登山经验，但为了征服珠峰，她一直在经历高强度的专业训练)”以及最后一段中“After finishing her university studies, she hopes to continue climbing and achieve the ‘7+ 2’(7 tops plus the North and South Poles).(在完成大学学业后，她希望继续攀登，实现‘7+ 2’（7个顶点加上南北两极）)”可知，12岁的徐卓媛立志要攀登珠峰，经历了高强度的训练，四年后实现了自己的诺言，并希望继续攀登，实现“7+2”，说明她意志坚定。故选D。
26题详解】

Xu Zhuoyuan has been exploring remote areas with him since she was very young. Despite her young age, Xu Zhuoyuan has already climbed five mountains over 5,000 meters in China.(徐卓媛的父亲徐江磊是湖南第一个登上珠穆朗玛峰的人。徐卓媛从小就和他一起探索偏远地区。尽管年纪轻轻，徐卓媛已经在中国攀登了五座5000米以上的山峰)”可知，徐卓媛的父亲是湖南第一个登上珠穆朗玛峰的人，徐卓媛从小就和父亲一起探索偏远山区，小小年纪就已经在中国攀登了五座5000米以上的山峰，故此处提到徐卓媛的父亲是为了说明他对徐卓媛的影响，故选B。

I had just arrived in this Asian country for a one-year teaching position. One day, I took a subway to visit some ancient palaces and temples in the downtown. What happened to me next on the subway has taught me much about culture difference.
Since all the seats were taken, I stood. Suddenly, I felt someone pulling on my bag. Assuming I probably was in someone’s way, I moved over slightly. But in one quick motion, I felt my bag removed from my back, and in a flash, it was gone. I turned around to see who the thief was. I looked at the people standing behind me, but didn’t see my bag or anyone suspicious. My heart began to beat wildly and I began to panic.
I looked around, only to find directly across from me was an elderly lady, and sitting on her lap was my bag. I tried to get it back from her lap. But as I began to pull it up, she quickly took it back and held onto it. I looked around at the people standing beside me, and those sitting beside her, but no one took any notice of the situation. Trying not to cause a scene, I tried to negotiate through gestures. I used my hands as much as I could, but she ignored my requests for my bag and pointed to my back. She picked up my bag, showing how heavy it was. I finally began to understand. She was holding my bag to help me.
At the next stop, a middle-aged woman got on the crowded subway. Another elderly woman sitting down took her bag, setting it on her lap. They didn’t talk; yet this older woman was more than pleased to sit with this stranger’s bag on her lap throughout her journey.
As the subway pulled into the main downtown station and I was getting ready to get off, the woman gently handed me back my bag. But before I had a chance to thank her, she had disappeared into the crowd.
28. What happened after the writer got on the subway
A. The writer’s bag was stolen by an elderly lady. B. The writer stood in someone’s way.
C. An old lady asked the writer to sit beside her. D. A stranger offered help to the writer.
29. What does the underlined word in the second paragraph mean
A. Feel frightened. B. Feel grateful. C. Feel relaxed. D. Feel ashamed.
30. What can we infer from the writer’s experience
A. The middle-aged woman and the elderly woman were good friends.
B. The passengers on the subway were very unfriendly.
C. Helping standing passengers with heavy bags was common on local subways.
D. There were many thieves on the subway.

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文化差异带来的误解。作者在某亚洲国家乘坐地铁时，地铁上的当地人见作者的行李包很重就主动帮其拿着行李，作者由最初误解行李被盗到后来理解这是当地人的一个常见的习惯做法。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“But in one quick motion, I felt my bag removed from my back, and in a flash, it was gone. I turned around to see who the thief was. (但很快，我感到背上的包被拿走了，刹那间，包不见了。我转过身去看小偷是谁)”以及第三段中“She picked up my bag, showing how heavy it was. I finally began to understand.

【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“At the next stop, a middle-aged woman got on the crowded subway. Another elderly woman sitting down took her bag, setting it on her lap.

【31题详解】

These days, we wonder a lot about why social networks go bad, full of terrible behavior. But it’s equally illuminating (有启发性的) to ask about the ones that work well. These communities share one characteristic: They’re small. Generally they have only a few hundred members, or maybe a couple thousand if they’re really popular.
And smallness makes all the difference. First, these groups have a sense of cohesion (凝聚性). The members have joined specifically to talk to people with whom they share an enthusiasm. That creates a type of social glue, a context and a mutual respect that can’t exist on a highly public site like Twitter, where anyone can crash any public conversation.
More important, small groups typically have people who work to keep interactions polite. Sometimes this will be the organizer or an active, long-term participant. They’ll greet newcomers to make them feel welcome, draw out quiet people and solve conflict when they see it emerge. But what’s crucial is that these key members model good behavior, illustrating by example the community’s best standards. The internet thinkers Heather Gold, Kevin Marks and Deb Schultz put a name to this: “tummeling,” after the Yiddish “tummeler,” who keeps a party going.
None of these positive elements can exist in a massive, public social network, where millions of people can get into each other’s spaces. That’s why perhaps the single biggest problem facing social media is that our mainstream networks are too interested in scale. But scale breaks social relations.
Is there any way to approach this problem I’ve never heard of any simple solution. Strict antitrust laws for the big networks would be useful, to encourage competition among networks. But this likely wouldn’t fully solve the problem of scale, since many users fancy scale too. Longing for massive, global audiences, they will crowd into whichever site offers the hugest. Many of the well-known solutions to social media might help, but all ignore the biggest problem of all: Bigness itself.
32. Why do members from small online groups get along well
A. They have some shared hobbies. B. They are mostly highly educated.
C. They know the importance of safety. D. They are familiar with each other.
33. Which of the following belongs to “tummeling”
A. A person organizes a successful birthday party.
B. A newcomer joins an organization.
C. An active team member starts a conflict.
D. A conversation organizer encourages others to speak.
34. What is the author’s attitude to large social networks getting polite
A. Favorable. B. Pessimistic. C. Curious. D. Uncaring.
35. What can be the best title for the text
A. Inappropriate behavior online B. The small things that truly matter
C. Online communities that actually work D. Different types of social networks
【答案】32. A 33. A 34. B 35. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过分析小型社交网络的成功来探寻很多社交网络会变糟的原因，发现小型社交网络因为规模小，使其拥有了很多有利于成功的因素，而大型社交网络因规模过大，所以不具备这些积极因素，这也是它无法克服的问题。文章探究了真正有用的线上虚拟社区的特点。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“First, these groups have a sense of cohesion (凝聚性). The members have joined specifically to talk to people with whom they share an enthusiasm. That creates a type of social glue (首先，这些群体有一种凝聚力。成员们加入是专门为了与他们有共同热情的人交谈。这就形成了一种社会凝聚力)”可推知，小型社交网络的成员有一些共同的爱好，所以他们能相处得很好。故选A项。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“The internet thinkers Heather Gold, Kevin Marks and Deb Schultz put a name to this: ‘tummeling,’ after the Yiddish ‘tummeler,’ who keeps a party going. (在第绪语中“tummeler”的意思是让派对继续进行的人，互联网思想家希瑟·戈尔德、凯文·马克斯和黛布·舒尔茨据此给这种现象起了一个名字“tummeling”)”可推知，tummeling是指组织派对并让其顺利进行，所以“A person organizes a successful birthday party.”属于tummeling。故选A项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Is there any way to approach this problem I’ve never heard of any simple solution. (有办法解决这个问题吗 我从来没听说过什么简单的解决办法)”和“Many of the well-known solutions to social media might help, but all ignore the biggest problem of all: Bigness itself. (许多众所周知的社交媒体解决方案可能会有所帮助，但都忽略了最大的问题：规模本身)”可推知，让大型社交网络变得友好没有简单的解决办法，即便有一些众所周知的解决方案，但都没有解决最大的问题，所以作者对此持悲观态度。故选B项。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知，结合第一段“These days, we wonder a lot about why social networks go bad, full of terrible behavior. But it’s equally illuminating (有启发性的) to ask about the ones that work well. These communities share one characteristic: They’re small. Generally they have only a few hundred members, or maybe a couple thousand if they’re really popular. (如今，我们很想知道为什么很多社交网络会变糟并充斥着可怕的行为。但是，问问那些运行良好的社交网络同样具有启发性。这些群体有一个共同的特点：它们都很小。一般来说，它们只有几百名成员，如果它们真的很受欢迎，可能会有几千名成员)”、第四段中“That’s why perhaps the single biggest problem facing social media is that our mainstream networks are too interested in scale. But scale breaks social relations. (这就是为什么社交媒介面临的最大问题可能是我们的主流网络对规模过于感兴趣。但是规模破坏了社会关系)”和最后一段中“Many of the well-known solutions to social media might help, but all ignore the biggest problem of all: Bigness itself. (许多众所周知的社交媒介解决方案可能会有所帮助，但都忽略了最大的问题：规模大)”可推知，本文通过分析小型社交网络的成功来寻找大型社交网络会变糟的原因，发现小型社交网络因为规模小，使其拥有了很多有利于成功的因素，而大型社交网络因规模过大，所以不具备这些积极因素。文章探究了真正有效的线上虚拟社区的特点，所以“Online communities that actually work (真正起作用的在线社区)”是文章最佳标题。故选C项。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了练习太极的好处。
【36题详解】
下文“It involves slow movements with a focus on breathing and on what your body is doing in that moment.(它的动作缓慢，练习者可以专注于呼吸和身体在那一刻所做的事情)”和B项“You can go at your own pace.(你可以按自己的节奏走)”都是介绍太极拳的特点，说明太极以慢为特征，让练习者按自己的节奏走，专注于自己状态，上下文语意一致。故选B项。
【37题详解】
上文“It is low-impact, meaning there is minimal risk of damage to your joints. (这是一种低冲击运动，意味着对关节的损伤风险最小)”提出太极对关节的损伤风险最小，E项“Meanwhile, it relaxed muscles and there is no stretching or straining.(同时，它放松肌肉，没有拉伸或紧张)”介绍太极不会损伤肌肉，与上文构成并列关系，照应本段主题句“It’s easy on the body.(它对身体没有伤害)” 。故选E项。
【38题详解】
上文“A 2019 review of studies suggested that Tai Chi might reduce the risk of falls in older people.(2019年的一项研究综述表明，太极拳可能会降低老年人跌倒的风险)”提出太极能降低老年人跌倒的风险，G项“The emphasis is on balance, with movements helping strengthen muscles required for stability.(它强调平衡，运动有助于增强稳定所需的肌肉)”解释了原因：太极强调平衡，所以老人练习后不易跌倒，上下文语意连贯。故选G项。
【39题详解】
设空句是段首小标题，根据下文“Tai Chi may boost brain power. Studies have found that regular Tai Chi can improve cognitive functioning in older people with dementia (痴呆) and without.(太极拳可以提高脑力。研究发现，经常打太极可以改善老年痴呆症患者和非老年痴呆症患者的认知功能)”可知，本段主要讲练习太极对大脑和精神有好处，所以A项“It has mental benefits.(它带来精神上的好处)”是本段主题句。故选A项。
【40题详解】
根据下文“You’re bound to find one that matches your fitness level and exercise preferences.(你一定会找到一个符合你的健康水平和运动偏好的练习方式)”可知，练习太极的方式有很多，可以选择适合自己的，上文“Classes are useful”提出去参加太极课程，D项“But there are videos available online too.(但是网上也有视频)”提出另一种练习方式：利用网上视频在家练习，照应主题和下文内容。故选D项。

A pleasant surprise
For a long time, I had been looking for a piano of my own to practise on. There was a piano shop on the street along which I walked every day to school. Whenever I passed the shop, I would stop, looking at the beautiful piano standing in the comer of the shop window. How I had been dreaming, day and night to possess a piano like that!
Unfortunately, my father was just a clerk. Times were tough during the Depression, and there were five mouths to feed, besides buying coal and wood for the stove. In order to save money, even on cold winter days, my father would walk the seven miles every day to get to work. No he could never afford to buy me an expensive piano. Though he knew I wanted to play that piano so much buying it was an extravagance (奢侈品) well beyond our family’s income.
One day after school, I went as usual to the shop window to look at the piano. However, to my surprise and disappointment, the piano had gone. I should not have been surprised as others had the right to buy it, if they could afford to. Tears filled my eyes when I thought of not being able to sec that piano any more.
Disappointed, helpless and sad, I wandered aimlessly up and down the street. After about an hour. I returned home. I had just entered into our house, when I heard my mother calling me. I brushed away my tears and followed the sound of her voice into the dining-room.
Paragraph 1:
I could not believe my eyes.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
As soon as my father appeared, I hugged him tightly.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】I could not believe my eyes . The beautiful piano I had been longing for was standing there in front of me. Excitement and happiness filled my heart. I couldn’t help crying and tears streamed down my face. My mother approached me, saying they knew the piano was the very thing I had dreamed about and my father had tried everything possible to realize my dream. I was on the point of saying something when the door opened.
As soon as my father appeared, I hugged him tightly. “Thank you, Dad!” I said. I could see a big smile on his wrinkled face. Regardless of the bad weather, my father had gone to work every day to make money. I cold not imagine how much effort he had made! My father kissed me on the forehead, whispering that he had at last earned enough to buy the piano. Only then did I realize that no gift could measure up to a father’s love.

A 16-year-old girl from Changsha, Hunan province, successfully reached the top of Qomolangma, known as Mount Everest in the West, on Monday morning, becoming the youngest Chinese female to conquer the world’s highest top from the southern slope (坡).
Xu Zhuoyuan is a first year high school student from Hunan province. On April 15, she left Changsha for Nepal. On April 21, she began her long walk from Lukla. On April 28, she arrived at the base camp and started her altitude adaptation training at once. At 10 pm Beijing time on May 14, Xu started walking from Camp 4 at an altitude of 7, 950 meters on the southern slope of Qomolangma. After a punishing 10-hour climb, she successfully reached the summit.

I had just arrived in this Asian country for a one-year teaching position. One day, I took a subway to visit some ancient palaces and temples in the downtown. What happened to me next on the subway has taught me much about culture difference.
Since all the seats were taken, I stood. Suddenly, I felt someone pulling on my bag. Assuming I probably was in someone’s way, I moved over slightly. But in one quick motion, I felt my bag removed from my back, and in a flash, it was gone. I turned around to see who the thief was. I looked at the people standing behind me, but didn’t see my bag or anyone suspicious. My heart began to beat wildly and I began to panic.
I looked around, only to find directly across from me was an elderly lady, and sitting on her lap was my bag. I tried to get it back from her lap. But as I began to pull it up, she quickly took it back and held onto it. I looked around at the people standing beside me, and those sitting beside her, but no one took any notice of the situation. Trying not to cause a scene, I tried to negotiate through gestures. I used my hands as much as I could, but she ignored my requests for my bag and pointed to my back. She picked up my bag, showing how heavy it was. I finally began to understand. She was holding my bag to help me.
At the next stop, a middle-aged woman got on the crowded subway. Another elderly woman sitting down took her bag, setting it on her lap. They didn’t talk; yet this older woman was more than pleased to sit with this stranger’s bag on her lap throughout her journey.
As the subway pulled into the main downtown station and I was getting ready to get off, the woman gently handed me back my bag. But before I had a chance to thank her, she had disappeared into the crowd.

These days, we wonder a lot about why social networks go bad, full of terrible behavior. But it’s equally illuminating (有启发性的) to ask about the ones that work well. These communities share one characteristic: They’re small. Generally they have only a few hundred members, or maybe a couple thousand if they’re really popular.
And smallness makes all the difference. First, these groups have a sense of cohesion (凝聚性). The members have joined specifically to talk to people with whom they share an enthusiasm. That creates a type of social glue, a context and a mutual respect that can’t exist on a highly public site like Twitter, where anyone can crash any public conversation.
More important, small groups typically have people who work to keep interactions polite. Sometimes this will be the organizer or an active, long-term participant. They’ll greet newcomers to make them feel welcome, draw out quiet people and solve conflict when they see it emerge. But what’s crucial is that these key members model good behavior, illustrating by example the community’s best standards. The internet thinkers Heather Gold, Kevin Marks and Deb Schultz put a name to this: “tummeling,” after the Yiddish “tummeler,” who keeps a party going.
None of these positive elements can exist in a massive, public social network, where millions of people can get into each other’s spaces. That’s why perhaps the single biggest problem facing social media is that our mainstream networks are too interested in scale. But scale breaks social relations.
Is there any way to approach this problem I’ve never heard of any simple solution. Strict antitrust laws for the big networks would be useful, to encourage competition among networks. But this likely wouldn’t fully solve the problem of scale, since many users fancy scale too. Longing for massive, global audiences, they will crowd into whichever site offers the hugest. Many of the well-known solutions to social media might help, but all ignore the biggest problem of all: Bigness itself.
32. Why do members from small online groups get along well
A. They have some shared hobbies. B. They are mostly highly educated.
C. They know the importance of safety. D. They are familiar with each other.
33. Which of the following belongs to “tummeling”
A. A person organizes a successful birthday party.
B. A newcomer joins an organization.
C. An active team member starts a conflict.
D. A conversation organizer encourages others to speak.
34. What is the author’s attitude to large social networks getting polite
A. Favorable. B. Pessimistic. C. Curious. D. Uncaring.
35 What can be the best title for the text
A. Inappropriate behavior online B. The small things that truly matter
C. Online communities that actually work D. Different types of social networks

A pleasant surprise
For a long time, I had been looking for a piano of my own to practise on. There was a piano shop on the street along which I walked every day to school. Whenever I passed the shop, I would stop, looking at the beautiful piano standing in the comer of the shop window. How I had been dreaming, day and night to possess a piano like that!
Unfortunately, my father was just a clerk. Times were tough during the Depression, and there were five mouths to feed, besides buying coal and wood for the stove. In order to save money, even on cold winter days, my father would walk the seven miles every day to get to work. No he could never afford to buy me an expensive piano. Though he knew I wanted to play that piano so much buying it was an extravagance (奢侈品) well beyond our family’s income.
One day after school, I went as usual to the shop window to look at the piano. However, to my surprise and disappointment, the piano had gone. I should not have been surprised as others had the right to buy it, if they could afford to. Tears filled my eyes when I thought of not being able to sec that piano any more.
Disappointed, helpless and sad, I wandered aimlessly up and down the street. After about an hour. I returned home. I had just entered into our house, when I heard my mother calling me. I brushed away my tears and followed the sound of her voice into the dining-room.
Paragraph 1:
I could not believe my eyes.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
As soon as my father appeared, I hugged him tightly.
