In September of 2013, residents of Bexar County celebrated the opening of the Biblio Tech

Library. It is one of the first libraries in America to go completely digits and perhaps it will lead

the way for others to follow. To check out a book in this digital library, users link their library

card to the 3M Cloud Library App. Then they can look through the library catalogue and check

out a total of five books at any given time. When the books are due, they are automatically

removed from the e-reader. Biblo Tech offers free tablets, laptops and computers which can be

used within the library. It also offers study rooms and lounge areas where people can work

together and other libraries are also in on the trend

Despite the move towards digital，the Biblio Tech Library is currently the only digital

library in the nation. However, the bookless library has been attempted before. Sadly, this

change proved to be far too ahead of its time. Within a few years, the library began providing

materials along with the digital materials due to requests from the library members

Libraries are in the middle of a great change. Just a decade ago, the main focus was to lend

materials to the public, but recently they have been placing more emphasis on programs to help

and educate the community. A library is no longer simply a place to check out books

Digital libraries are the future. In the next 100 years or so, books in print may be

completely replaced by their digital competitors. While these can be more convenient for

libraries and library members, I am still going to be fond of books in print. I will miss the smell

of the paper, because those are things I grew to love about readings

21. What does Paragraph 1 mainly talk about?

A. The opening of the Biblio Tech Library

B. The improvement of the Biblio Tech Library

C. The importance of the Biblio Tech Library

D. The introduction of the Biblio Tech Library

22. What can be inferred about libraries from the text?

A. The function expands. B. The income increases

C. The development slows down. D. The business declines

23. The writer seems to be a person who

A. is crazy about e-readers B. works in a library

C. misses the old days D. is hopeless about the future

Taiwan's annual university admissions tests are taking place this week. Tens of thousands

of students。trying to give the right answers to math and language questions. High scores

permit students to enter the top schools. However, these tests will not be in place for much

longer. The current examinations require that students memorize facts in high school classes

They do not test critical thinking or creative problem solving abilities

Officials in Taiwan plan to change the admissions test to also measure imagination and the

ability to innovate(创新）Taiwanese officials see the progress China and South Korea are

making in the information technology field. By comparision，Taiwan is losing technology

business. There is concern that younger people are afraid of the risk of starting a company or

inventing something

The Ministry of Education wants to encourage young Taiwanese to innovate. So, it will

begin a new selection process for university students. They hope the best schools will start to

accept people with new business ideas. The new admissions policy will take effect in 2018. It

will include personal interviews with interested students. The Ministry wants high school

graduates to show they excelled outside of class

Ma Hsiang-ping is the ministry's deputy director for higher education. She said the new

exam system will look for people interested in invention or starting businesses. Taiwan will

lose competitiveness if all the inventing is done in other countries. The Ministry hopes new

admissions policies will reshape the 12-year public education system

Taiwan is dependent largely on high-tech exports. The Swiss business school，International

Institute for Management Development (IMD）made a list of the most competitive countries in

2014. Taiwan was at number 13. but Sinpanore was number 3 and Hong Kong was number 4

These numbers worry Taiwanese officials

Pangaea

Scientists in the early 1900s put forward the continental drift theory（大陆漂移说）They

said that a great number of years ago, the seven continents we know today were a single, giant

continent. A scientist named Alfred Wegener named it Pangaea. The name Pangaea comes from

the Greek phrase for "all Earth"

The theory's timeline went against popular belief that Earth was only a few thousand years

old. People wanted to believe that God had created Earth rather than the forces of nature

Wegener argued in favor of the continental drift theory in 1920

Pangaea was a C-shaped landform that was spread across the equator(赤道）The large

body of water within the crescent(月牙形）was called the Tethys Sea. The vast ocean that

flowed around the continent was called Pantha1-a

The area of Pangaea would have been very vast. Inland regions would have been extremely

dry from a lack of water. Animals could migrate freely from the North to the South Poles

It is believed that the breakup of Pangaea begun about 180 million years ago. This

happened in the Jurassic Period. Over many millions of years, it broke into the seven continents

as we know them today. The first stage of the breakup began about 180 million years ago. This

change started when a large fault line（断层线）split Activity would have started through

earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. A gap was created through Pangaea that stretched from the

Tethys Ocean to the east. This took place between what is now North America and Africa. The

first split created two smaller continents. The southern one is known as Gondwana and the

northern one Laurasia. Then another breakup began about 150 to 140 million years ago. At this

time, the minor continent of Gondwana broke into four continents. These became Africa, South

America, India, and Australia. The final stage of the breakup was about 60 to 55 million year.

ago. North America broke free from Eurasia. This opened up the Norwegian Sea

But the supporters of this theory also say that Pangaea was not the first giant continent. Thf

earliest possible giant continent is Columbia supercontinent Scientists think it existed betweei

1.8 and 1.5 billion years ago

28. What did Pangaea look like?

A. It was shaped like a C. B. It was shaped like a ball

C. It looked like the moon. D. It looked like Pantha1-a

29. What can be inferred about the drift th
