The upper floor is a quiet zone with over a thousand places for silent reading, and places where you can sit and work with your own computer. The reading places consist mostly of tables and chairs. The ground floor is the zone where you can talk. Here you can find sofas and armchairs for group work.‎ Computers You can use your own computer to connect to the wifi specially prepared for notebook computers; you can also use library computers, which contain the most commonly used applications, such as Microsoft Office. They are situated in the area known as the Experimental Field on the ground floor.‎ Groupstudy Places If you want to discuss freely without disturbing others, you can book a study room or sit at a ‎ table on the ground floor.Some study rooms are for 2－3 people and others can hold up to 6－8 people. All rooms are marked on the library maps.‎ There are 40 groupstudy rooms that must be booked via the website. To book，you need an active University account and a valid University card. You can use a room three hours per day, nine hours at most per week.‎ Storage of Study Material The library has lockers for students to store course literature. When you have obtained at least 40 credits (学分) ，you may rent a locker and pay 400 SEK for a year's rental period.‎ Rules to be Followed Mobile phone conversations are not permitted anywhere in the library. Keep your phone on silent as if you were in a lecture and exit the library if you need to receive calls.‎ Please note that food and fruit are forbidden in the library, but you are allowed to have drinks and sweets with you.‎ ‎21.

Since the first cases were reported in 1986, AIDS has spread at an alarming rate, and today 1 in 4 adults in Swaziland are living with HIV. With so many adults dying, nearly 4 in 10 people in Swaziland are under 14. Life expectancy (预期寿命) now tops a mere 32 years and the nation has the highest infection rate in the world.‎ During high school, Sara volunteered to teach English to children orphaned(使成为孤儿) by AIDS. It was her first act of direct service to others. It gave her the chance to use her own education and experience to help others.‎ Sara didn't stop there. During her gap year, when she had time off between high school and college, she used her background of growing up in Africa to spend four months working with an Irish nogovernment organization, Value Added In Africa, which promotes business links with African countries. Again, volunteering became the door to a new range of experiences and options. Today Sara is pursuing a degree at Carleton College in the US. Her decision to study economics is no accident－she's determined to understand how trade can help developing countries reduce their reliance on aid. By following this career path she hopes she can help her homeland.‎ Moving to a new place can be hard, but Sara has overcome the challenge of making friends and being accepted－by using her background as a volunteer with lots of local projects and organizations. Once again, seeing the community as a volunteer is helping to introduce her to the local community, explore the area, become familiar with life in the US in a very practical way.‎ ‎“Having traveled and lived in different cultures I find the most honest approach to understanding a place is to contribute in some way to its community,” she says. “Volunteering in the US has surpassed (超过) her expectations. It's been easy to find amazing and cool events to help out at！Volunteering here is different because the organizations I have met here are probably the most generous with their volunteers.”‎ ‎24. Sara grew up in a country where ________.‎ ‎ A. 25% of its population are living with HIV ‎ B. about 40% of its population are under 14‎ ‎ C. most children understand English ‎ D. the first case of AIDS in the world was reported ‎25. What happened to Sara when she arrived in the US?‎ ‎ A. She missed life in her homeland very much.‎ ‎ B. She worried a lot about her future in the US.‎ ‎ C. It was very hard for her to live in a new place.‎ ‎ D. She adapted herself to life in the US easily.‎ ‎26. What do we know about Sara's volunteering in the US?‎ ‎ A. It was more difficult than she had expected.‎ ‎ B. It was different from her former volunteering.‎ ‎ C. It helped her make her decision to volunteer all her life.‎ ‎ D. It helped her realize how poor her homeland is.‎ ‎27. What's the passage mainly about?‎ ‎ A. Sara's experience of volunteering.‎ ‎ B. The importance of volunteering.‎ ‎ C. What problems AIDS has brought to Swaziland.‎ ‎ D. Differences between volunteering in the US and Swaziland.‎ C John Farish, an engineer who was staying at the St. Francis, one of the city’s finest hotels, remembered the very early morning of Wednesday, April 18, 1906: I was awakened by a loud noise, which might be compared to the mixed sounds of a strong wind flowing through a forest and the breaking of waves against a rock. In less time than it takes to tell, a shake, similar to that caused by a nearby explosion (爆炸), shook the building to its bases and it began a series of the most lively movements. Together with a frightening sound, it was followed by big crashes (碰撞) as the neighboring buildings and chimneys fell to the ground. ‎ A few blocks away, in a comfortable room in the Palace Hotel, the world’s greatest singer, Enrico Caruso, was asleep after a good performance at the Opera House the night before. He awoke to find: Everything in the room was going round and round. The light was trying to touch the ceiling and the chairs were all chasing each other. Crash — crash — crash! It was a terrible scene. Everywhere the walls were falling and clouds of yellow dust were rising. My God, I thought it would never stop!‎ And at the same moment, in another part of the city, Jesse Cook, a policeman, reported: The whole street was undulating (起伏波动). It was as if the waves of the ocean were coming toward ‎ me, and waving as they came.‎ It was, of course, an earthquake, one of the largest ever to hit North America, and the first of 27 separate quakes that day. The first shock — at 5:12:05 a.m. — lasted more than 40 seconds. It was by far the largest, about 8.3 on the Richter scale; its epicenter (震源) was just off the coast, around the Pacific.‎ ‎28. When the earthquake happened, Caruso was _____.‎ A. looking at the waves rushing against the rock B. giving a performance at the Opera House ‎ C. listening to the sounds of wind flowing D. sleeping in the comfortable Palace Hotel ‎29. How did Jesse Cook describe the earthquake?‎ A. The street was flooded with ocean water.‎ B. The street was dancing like ocean waves.‎ C. The chairs in the room were chasing each other.‎ D. The light was falling to the ground heavily.‎ ‎30. What can we know about the earthquake according to the passage?‎ A. It was followed by 26 quakes that day.‎ B. It caused the most deaths in history.‎ C. It came from the center of the Pacific.‎ D. It struck the place at midnight.‎ ‎31. The purpose of writing this passage is to _____.‎ A. teach us how to protect ourselves in an earth-quake B. find out why the earthquake happened C. describe the happenings of a strong earthquake D. introduce what harm the earthquake did to people D Vegetarian vampires (吸血鬼) can breathe a sigh of relief. Scientists say they have discovered a way of squeezing “blood” out of rice.‎ Scientists successfully used rice seeds to produce the human serum albumin (人血清白蛋白) (HSA) in the lab, according to a study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of ‎ Sciences from the US on October 31.‎ HSA is a kind of protein made by the liver to help transport certain hormones (荷尔蒙) , steroids (类固醇) and fatty acids in the blood. People with serious burns，liver diseases and other medical conditions need more HSA.‎ Donated human blood used to be the only source of extra HSA, but this is in short supply. In China，demand for HSA is so high that some illegal producers have been found to be selling fake HSA, which made it even more urgent to find another source of the protein.‎ The rice method was developed by scientists at Wuhan University in China together with researchers from Canada and New York. They used bacteria to put the gene for making HSA into the rich plants and grew them over a few generations. In the final product，the HSA took up more than 10 percent of the total soluble (可溶的) protein in the rice seeds and could be easily separated from the rice protein.‎ The research team did several tests to compare the rice and human versions of HSA. They found that the two types of protein not only looked exactly the same but also had similar effects when used to treat illness. Both types of HSA proved equally effective in treating mice with liver diseases. Moreover, mice that were given HSA derived (源自) from rice did not have stronger immune reactions (免疫反应) than those that were given the HSA obtained directly from human blood.‎ ‎“Scientists have been using plants to produce HSA for two decades，but the yield is too low.” said Yang Daichang，a scientist at Wuhan University，who led the research.‎ In this experiment，he said，it took researchers only two days to extract about 46 percent of the protein from the plant. This meant that 2.75 grams of HSA could be taken from every kilogram of brown rice. According to researchers, this amount is more than enough to make commercial production feasible (可行的)．‎ Yang said that the team hopes to begin testing the new HSA on humans within the next two years.‎ ‎32. Which of the following about HSA is TRUE according to the article?‎ A. It is a kind of hormone.‎ B. It is produced in the kidneys.‎ C. It helps make steroids and fatty acids in the blood.‎ D. It is in short supply and demand cannot be met.‎ ‎33. According to the article，________ need more HSA than the others.‎ A. those who are very thin B. those with serious burns C. those who donate blood D. those who have a headache ‎34. What did scientists find from the tests into the ricederived HSA that were conducted on mice?‎ a. The rice and human versions of HSA looked much the same.‎ b. Mice accepted the ricederived HSA not worse than the human HSA.‎ c. The ricederived HSA can help mice with liver diseases recover.‎ d. The ricederived HSA is as effective as human HSA for mice with liver diseases.‎ A. a，b，d B. a，c，d C. b，c，d D. a，b，c ‎35. What can be inferred from the last three paragraphs?‎ A. The ricederived HSA is expected to solve the shortage of HSA.‎ B. The new technique enables scientists to get HSA easily，but the yield is too low.‎ C. It has been completely proven that the ricederived HSA also works well on humans.‎ D. It has taken scientists ten years to finally find a way of using plants to produce HSA.‎ 第二节（共5个小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Do women talk more than men?   36   According to the latest research from the United States of America, men and women talk such different languages that it is like people from two different cultures trying to communicate. Professor Deborah Tannen, of Georgetown University, has noticed differences in the style of boys' and girls' conversations from an early age. According to her study, little girls' conversation is less clear than boys' and expresses more doubts.   37  ‎ These differences will continue into adult life, she says. In public conversations, men talk most and interrupt other speakers more than women do. In private conversations, men and women speak in almost equal amounts.    38   Professor Tannen believes that, for women, private talking is a way to establish and test intimacy (亲密). For men, private talking is a way to explore the ‎ power structure (结构) of a relationship.‎ ‎  39   “When a woman teaches another woman,” says Professor Tannen, “she is more likely to take a sharing approach and to encourage her student to join in. When a man teaches a woman, however, he wants to show that he has more knowledge and power in conversation.    40  ”‎ Some scientists who are studying speech think that the brain is preprogrammed for language. As we are usually taught to speak by women, it seems likely that the brain must have a sexual bias (偏向) in its programming; otherwise, male speech patterns would not arise at all.‎ A. And he uses his language to show this.‎ B. Do men talk in the same way as women?‎ C. However, they say things in a different style.‎ D. Women are far more silent than men in public conversations.‎ E. Little boys use conversation to establish status with their listeners.‎ F. More women are encouraged to help each other, talking about their doubts.‎ G. Teaching is one job where the differences between men's and women's ways of talking show.‎ 第三部分 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ Last spring，I was fortunate to be chosen to take part in an exchange study program.
