I got my first driver's license（执照）in 1953 by taking driver education in my first year at Central High School in Charlotte, North Carolina. Four years later when it was time to renew my license I was a married woman. Henry and I were living in Baltimore, Maryland. Two weeks before my 20th birthday, Henry drove me to the motor vehicle office on a hot July afternoon. When I got to the office and showed to the man behind the counter my North Catrolina driver's license, ready to renew, the man told me that I was under age by Maryland law since I was not yet 21.“Mr. Henry Smith, your husband, will have to sign for you,”he said.

I argued, pointing to a very large belly (肚子) of mine,"I am married. I am having a baby. Why should I have to have someone sign for me to drive?" He answered coldly,“It's the law, madam.”

Henry encouraged me to calm down, just go ahead and get the license and be done with it "No," I said. I refused to have him sign for me. So I left without a Maryland license.

I called the North Carolina Motor Vehicle Office and renewed my NC license by mail— using my name Susan Brown. And thus it was for the next twelve years. Since Henry was in the army I could drive under my home state license. By the time Henry left the army we were once again living in Maryland, and I had to take the Maryland driver's exam. Since then I just go in and renew every four years—sign the name Susan Brown, have my new picture taken, and walk out with a license to drive.

21. Susan got her first driver's license .

A. before she got married to Henry B. when she was twenty years old

C. after she finished high school D. when she just moved to Maryland

22. Susan failed to renew her license the first time in Maryland because .

A. she was forbidden to drive by Maryland law

B. she lacked driving experience in Maryland

C. she was to give birth to a baby soon

D. she insisted on signing for herself

23. We can infer from the text that in the U.S. .

A. American males should serve in the army

B. different states may have different laws

C. people have to renew their licenses in their home states

D. women should adopt their husbands' family names after marriage

The multi-million pound new Library of Birmingham（LoB）will be the most visible sign of the way the city is accepting the digitalization（数字化）of everyday life.

Set to open in 2016, the ￡188m LoB is already beginning to take shape next to the Birmingham Repertory Theatre, with which it will share some equipment.

As digital media（媒介）is important to its idea, the project is already providing chances for some of the many small new local companies working at the new technologies.

Brian Gambles, the LoB project director, says it is about giving people the right tools for learning:“The aim is to mix the physical with the digital, providing 24-hour services which can be used through many different ways. It is important to enable us to reach more people, more effectively.”

The digital library will, he says, be as important as the physical one, allowing the distant use of the services, making sure that it is never closed to the public.

Even before the LoB is complete, the public has been able to go online to visit the Virtual（虚拟的）LoB, designed by Baden, the Birmingham virtual worlds specialists. Not only have the public been able to learn about LoB, but the virtual one has also enabled those working on the LoB to understand the building and how it will work before it even opens.

Two other small Birmingham-based digital companies are also working on the LoB projects. Substrat, a digital design company, is developing what it calls an example of an “enlarged reality” project. It is about the use of an exciting smart phone, an important part of the Lob which is in the early stages of development. And The People’s Archive is an online library of historical figures of the city being built up by a digital content company in Cahoots, in which users will be encouraged to add to and comment on the material.

Gambles says: “Technology will enable us to make the library’s content and services open to citizens as never before.”

24.The underline part “its idea” in Paragraph 3 refers to the idea of .

A. the equipment B. the project

C. the digital media D. the physical library

25.While visiting the Virtual LoB, the public can .

A. get a general idea of the LoB

B. meet many world-famous experts

C. learn how to put up a library building

D. understand how the specialists work on the project

26.Which of the following is true of the LoB when it opens?

a. It offers better learning tools.

b. It reaches users in different ways.

c. It provides users with smart phones.

d. It allows users to enrich its material.

e. It gives non-stop physical and digital services.



a, b, d B. a, c ,e C. b, c, d D. b, d, e

27.The text is most probably taken from .

A. a computer book B. a library guide C. a project handbook D. a newspaper report

　Why should mankind explore space? Why should money, time and effort be spent exploring and researching something with so few apparent benefits? Why should resources be spent on space rather than on conditions and people on Earth? These are questions that, understandably, are very often asked．

　Perhaps the best answer lies in our genetic makeup（基因构成）as human beings．What drove our ancestors to move from the trees into the plains, and on into all possible areas and environments? The wider the spread of a species, the better its chance of survival．Perhaps the best reason for exploring space is this genetic tendency to expand wherever possible．

　Nearly every successful civilization has explored, because by doing so, any dangers in surrounding areas can be identified and prepared for．Without knowledge, we may be completely destroyed by the danger．With knowledge, we can lessen its effects．

　Exploration also allows minerals and other potential（潜在的）resources to be found．Even if we have no immediate
