The library is the heart of a university——its collections,services,and study spaces are central to every student's educational journey. Let's take a look at some famous university libraries around the world.

Magdalen College Old Library

Oxford University is famous for its academic programs,but it's also known for its outstanding libraries that are said to include more than 11 million books. The Old Library at Magdalen College is the crown jewel of the university's library system. It contains more than 20,000 rare books and manuscripts. Nearly all of these volumes were published before 1800.

TU Delft Library

The library at the Delft University of Technology was constructed in 1997,which has more than 862,000 books,16,000 magazine subscriptions and its own museum. But it will only take a glance to be attracted, as it is a sight to remember. The building itself exists beneath the ground, so you can't really see the actual library. What makes it interesting is the roof,which is a grassy hill.

Trinity College Library

The Trinity College Library in Dublin is the oldest library in Ireland, founded in 1592 by Queen Elizabeth I. It contains more than 200,000of the library's oldest books. Treasures of the library's extensive collection include a rare copy of the 1916 proclamation of the Irish Republic and a beautiful 15th century harp（竖琴）.

Joe and Rika Mansueto Library

Opened in 2011,the Joe and Rika Mansueto Library at the University of Chicago is designed with a grand glass roof,perfect for staring out when you are tired. The library can hold around 3.5 million volumes through its underground automatic storage and retrieval system.If you are not already impressed,the librarians,robotic cranes,will knock your socks off.They can locate and bring you any book within an average time of 3 minutes.

21. What do Magdalen College Old Library& Trinity College Library have in common?

In1665,Johannes Vermeer,one of the greatest painters in Netherlands,completed his masterpiece"Girl With a Pearl Earring."On an April day 357 years later,Janine Strong slowed her bike to stop,paused her fitness app,and watched as the snaking line of her cycling route drew the shape of Vermeer's masterpiece over the streets of Brooklyn.

Ms. Strong creates what has come to be known as“GPS art”—a practice that uses the Global Positioning System mapping capabilities of modern phone apps to create digital drawings with an athlete's route. It has grown with the widespread availability of satellite tracking for use by ordinary people. In fact,the idea has been around since before the popularity of smartphones for fitness like Strava released in 2009.

In 2003,The New York Times Magazine told of how Jeremy Wood got the idea for GPS art. Mr. Wood said while he was using a GPS tracker on a flight and the plane flew in a holding pattern above Heath-row Airport,he was attracted by the pattern appearing on his Garmin GPS device. In recent years, technology has advanced enough to create visual maps in real time using a phone or smart watch.

“I get bored cycling on the same path in the same streets,"Ms. Strong said."Creating GPS art gives me more reasons to hit the pavement,which makes cycling a lot easier.I always have a big smile on my face when it works out and I upload it and it's done,"she added."It's a very satisfying feeling.”

To complete her digital vision of“Girl With a Pearl Earring,"she biked almost 50 miles around southern Brooklyn,carefully checking Strava to make sure each turn,circle,and straight line was achieving the shape of earring and head covering of Vermeer's original.

24. What can we infer about Janine Strong in paragraph1?

A. She tests a fitness app.                  B. She is an innovative cyclist.

C. She likes pearl earrings.                  D. She is a painter of some note.

25. What information can we get about GPS art?

A. It is rarely used by common people.        B. It arose after the popularity of fitness apps.

C. It is based on apps' GPS mapping functions.  D. It is a practice of creating realistic drawings.

26. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?

A. The origin of GPS art.                    B. The prospect of GPS art.

C. The function of a GPS.tracker.              D. The advancement of a GPS device.

27. Who will be most likely to create GPS art?

A. Painting lovers.                         B. Mobile game players.

C. Software developers.                    D. Running enthusiasts.

People are looking to make meaning after the global pandemic. And one way that some of us do this is to credit coincidences—the unexpected concurrence（同时发生）of events—with helping to find jobs,friends and spouses,make significant career decisions and relieve pains. Scholars disagree on the cause of coincidences.Some say they are random and due to probability. Others see God or spiritual forces at work. Still others say it's our subconscious making connections. No matter the cause, people who study coincidences say that paying attention to these moments may help us,especially in times of stress.

Studies show that noticing coincidences may help boost both the effectiveness of psychotherapy and mental well-being. Michael Schauch,42,an investment-portfolio manager in Squamish,British Columbia,who is an avid mountaineer,lost his best friend Brent last year.A few months later,Mr. Schauch climbed a mountain he and Brent often scaled together. At the summit, Mr. Schauch found hundreds of ladybugs. When he climbed a different mountain on the anniversary of Brent's death,he saw a ladybug as he started up each new section of the rock face."I knew at once that it was Brent,and that he was still there with me,as if to say:'You've got this,Mike.Keep going!'"he says.

Coincidences can make the world feel like it makes good sense,says David B.Yaden,an assistant professor at the Johns Hopkins University School. Varieties of spiritual experiences show a correlation（关联）between coincidences and an increase in positive emotions，better personal relationships and a greater sense of meaning in life.

Coincidences are more likely to happen to certain people."People who are troubled by distress and searching for signs are more likely to experience coincidences," says Bemard Beitman, a psychiatrist and a coincidence researcher. If you'd like to enhance your ability to notice coincidences,there are several strategies, says Lisa Miller, a clinical psychologist: Be open to them. Write them down. Talk about them with others. "We really need this deep inner wisdom."she says.

28. What can we learn about coincidences from paragraph 1?

A. They happen as expected.               B. They provide guidance or relief.

C. They activate subconscious mind.         D. They contribute to invisible forces.

29. Why does the author mention Michael Schalch's story?

A. To clarify the cause of coincidences.

B. To offer a method of coping with grief.

C. To show the comforting effect of coincidences.

D. To present a solid friendship between two climbers.

30. What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A.Lucky people tend to be surprised by coincidences.

B.Wisdom is to the soul what mental health is to the body.

C.Coincidences mean more to our daily lives than the surface.

D.The more we cultivate coincidences, the more likely they happen.

31. What is the passage mainly about?

A. The meaningful moments in life.          B. The hidden power of coincidences.

C. The various opinions on coincidences.      D. The strategies for noticing coincidences.

D

After a day's labor，Andreas Fichtner and his colleagues have spliced（绞接）together three segments of fibers，creating a 12.5-kilometer-long fiber-optic（光学的）cable. It will stay buried in the snow to spy on the activity of Grfmsvotn,a dangerous,glacier-covered volcano.

Fichtner,a geophysicist at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology,in Zurich,is one of the researchers using fiber optics to take the pulse of our planet. Much of their work is done in remote places,from the tops of volcanoes to the bottoms of seas,where traditional monitoring is too costly or difficult.

The technique used by Fichtner's team is called distributed acoustic sensing, or DAS.“It’s almost like radar in the fiber," says the physicist Giuseppe Marra of the United Kingdom's National Physical Laboratory, in Teddington. While radar uses reflected radio waves to locate objects,DAS uses reflected light to detect events as varied as earthquake activity and moving traffic,and to determine where they occurred. Inside the cables are optical fibers. DAS involves shooting quick pulses of laser light down the fiber and detecting bits of light that scatter back to the laser source due to disturbances in the environment. When the earth's surface vibrates and shifts,it pulls the cables,so a detector can identify these small changes.

The New York Times points out that although wireless and satellite technology are booming, good old-fashioned cables are still the most efficient way to send information across oceans. Repurposing cables could give scientists the ability to monitor high-risk zones that were previously hard to reach. They could help detect earthquakes and tsunamis a few seconds earlier than traditional warning systems.

In addition,fiber-optic cables could also help solve some of the biggest challenges for humans. In the recent years, scientists have started to use them to measure ocean waves and access fault（断层）information. It is believed that fiber-optic cables will serve to benefit us greatly in the future.

32. What is the purpose of the work of Fichtner's team?

A. To track volcanic activities.                B. To strike oil under the sea.

C. To lengthen fiber-optic cables.             D. To keep fibers covered in the snow.

33. What can we learn about the technique of DAS?

A. It determines when and where disasters occurs.

B. It uses radio waves to locate moving objects.

C. It improves the efficiency of transmitting light.

D. It detects tiny variation of the earth's surface.

34. What does the underlined expression“Repurposing cables”probably mean？

A. Recycling cables in new fields.             B. Adapting cables for a new function.

C. Installing cables beneath volcanoes.        D. Promoting cables into massive production.

35. What is the best title for the text?

A.DAS Is Feeling the Heartbeat of Volcanoes

B.Satellite Technology Is Booming in Our Times

C.Underground Cables Are Taking the Planet's Pulse

D.Fiber-optic Cables Are Giving Us Insights into Earthquakes

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

The chicken or the egg—which came first?It's probably one of the most commonly cited paradoxes（悖论）——a chicken hatches from an egg，so the egg came first，right？But then what laid the egg?___36___That's exactly what a paradox is—a problem that seemingly has no definitive solution and can't be logically solved.

___37___How can work be flexible but maintain structure?How can we switch off if we're working from home?Two contrasting ideas could cause people stress,but what if we accept the contradiction and change the way we look at it?___38___

A paradox consists of two seemingly impossible realities that exist at the same time.___39 ___ For example,holding on to change may lead to burn-out, while maintaining stability may lead to boredom. Some experts have found the acceptance of both realities and a willingness to accept them can improve both creativity and productivity by allowing you to find a path through the contradictions.

A 1996 study of geniuses by Albert Rothenberg found that those thinkers spent time considering opposites and antitheses. Consider Einstein. The theory of relativity was born out of the paradox that something could be moving and stationary at the same time, depending on perspective.

So,having a“paradox mindset”and accepting the bigger picture may help you to better understand problems.___40___As a result,it may lead you to improving your productivity and creativity. If it worked for Einstein,maybe it could be good for you too!

A. The two ideas seem contradictory.

B. The two questions remain unanswered.

C. This is what some experts call the "paradox mindset".

D. It could also make you happier knowing that contradictions exist.

E.Paradoxes are apparently ridiculous or self-contradictory statements.

F. Paradoxes don't just exist in philosophical debates but also in our daily lives.

G. If you embrace one of those realities and ignore the other,it can cause problems.

When I was young,the kitchen had an invisible“stop”sign put there by my mom.“No, you cannot enter here!"she always said to me.Well,I really don't blame her as it is no place for kids.

I was just left outside in admiration,looking at what wonders the kitchen held. A few years passed by and I became very interested in food,both eating and preparing it. However,the kitchen was still out of bounds so I couldn't experiment with cooking. But they couldn't stop me forever now,could they?

It was early morning. Mom had gone for grocery shopping and no one else was at home. Time to strike!I walked through the dining broom and there was the kitchen in front of me!

I stepped inside and took in the sight in front of me—cabinets（储藏柜）lining a wall，the oven（炉子）occupying the central place of another wall， and the dishes sparkling like diamonds. I had seen it from outside but this time it was up close. As I hadn't had breakfast,I decided to begin my first experience as a cook by making an omelette（煎蛋）.Sure I had seen Mom do it,so how could it be hard?

I searched the cabinets and finally found some eggs and onions. I knew the basics, so I began the work. I washed an onion first and chopped it. Then came the egg. It took me two or three attempts to crack one open and into the bowl. I put the onion and some salt in the bowl too and mixed them. After that,I lighted the stove and put the frying pan on it and poured some oil in it,and poured some on the floor too,accidentally, of course! Till the pouring of the mixture into the pan,everything was going perfect —then I wondered what was used for turning the egg upside down in the pan.
