Did you notice the number on the book in a library? That number is part of the system used by libraries to organize their collections of books. And it’s used in many countries. The number on each book tells you exactly what kind of book it is. This system is alsouseful for knowing where to go in the library to find a book.

In this system, there are ten large groups of books. Each of these groups has its own number, such as 100, 200, etc. So, for example, any books about language will have a number 400. On the other hand, any books about history will have a number 900. So, a number in the hundreds place tells you what general group a book is in. If you find a book that has a number in the 500s, you know it is a book about science.

However, science is a big group, so the tens place is used to make a more detailed set of science books. For example, math books are included in the group of science books. Math books all have numbers between 510 and 519. Books about the history of Africa have numbers between 960 and 969.

The system uses the ones place to give a more exact limit for the subject of a book. A book on the history of South Africa will have the number 968.

As you can see, it is a simple system to use as long as you understand what the numbers mean. With this system, the library can keep its books well organized, and people can easily find the book that they want.

41. The reading is about       .

   A. libraries                             B. working in a library

   C. how numbers are organized             D. how books are organized in libraries

42. The number system is NOT used to       .

   A. find where a book is 

B. tell you the title of a book

   C. tell you what kind of book a book is        

D. organize the collections of books in libraries

43. According to the reading, which sentence is TRUE?

   A. The number on a book can’t be bigger than 900.

   B. There are ten big groups for books in this system.

   C. History books can have any number between 500 and 900.

   D. This system uses both numbers and letters for some books.

44. A book about math can be found in the same group of books as       .

   A. reference books   B. school books     C. science books   D. art books

45. Which two numbers would indicate a book about language and a book about science?

   A. 439 and 493       B. 439 and 568      C. 530 and 560     D. 563 and 436

五、阅读短文（共20小题，每小题1分，满分20分）

A）阅读下面短文，根据所读内容，在文章后第62—71小题的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词，并将答案填写在答题卡标号为62—71的相应位置上。

注意：每个空格只填一个单词。

You have probably heard it before, most likely from your English teacher. If you want to become a good writer, read good writing. Unluckily, you may not have understood what did good to you and even what you were supposed to get from that experience.

As you start reading a book, poem, or story, do so with no thought at all and the experience will improve your writing. Just read for pleasure to begin with, or to learn. As you progress through the work, think about whether it is “easy” reading or not. Do you become so interested in the subject and flow of the writing that you completely forget the person who wrote it, or does the composition sometimes call too much attention to itself through words and phrases that seem out of place or unexpected? The second situation is a chance to learn from the writer’s mistakes. In fact, the reader should not have to worry about how a writer does “his thing” ... he should be able to just enjoy and learn. Every time a word strikes you as poorly chosen, stop to consider why it has this effect. Also, do not spend a lot of time analyzing (分析) the passage but put more efforts in enjoying it from the whole.

Another thing I do, particularly with nonfiction (非小说) books, is to select a part to read as if it is a completely separate work. Once again, read as a common reader rather than a critic (批评家). For learning how words and phrases work together on the most basic level, however, nothing is more suitable than devoting yourself to reading poems. A poet is often trying to put a book’s worth of meaning and feelings into lines, and every side of the work shows a very close attention to craft (工艺).

As you can see, there is no simple way of reading to improve your writing. The key is not to make it boring. Select writers you admire or like most, and enjoy their works as anyone else would. As long as you are reading, you are improving yourself as a writer.

B）根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词，并将答案填写在答题卡标号为72—81的相应位置上。

Lots of people in the world like listening to folk songs. A folk song is a song that is “from the p  72  ”. Every c  73   has folk songs. Usually, they are quiet, simple songs. People often sing them with just a g  74   of a few other instruments. Some folk songs are so o  75   that no one knows who wrote them or when they were written. Other folk songs are by songwriters who are interested in people’s l  76   and experiences. Woody Guthrie was one of those songwriters.

Woody Guthrie was born in a very small town in Oklahoma in 1912. Guthrie first learned to play the guitar from his grandfather in 1917. He soon began to p  77  with other people in the area. Step by step, people liked his music.

In 1929, the economy was bad. Many people were not working, and there were many poor people. Guthrie began to travel around the country looking for work. Guthrie became interested in singing about people and their p  78   during this period.

In the winter of 1940, Guthrie decided to go to New York. On his way, he created “This Land is Your Land.” The song talks about places and things people love. The last line of the song says, “This land was made for you and me.” These words tell people that e  79   is equal.

Woody Guthrie died in 1967, but his music l  80   on. His music is an important part of American h  81   and culture. And to this day, people love to sing the folk songs written by him.
