    15．While many Chinese overseas artists are switching to other more profitable fields，Huang Shanye，a painter of the Zhuang ethnic group，stands out as an exception．His art has gradually earned him fame over the course of his more than 20 years in the United States．He was even able to leave behind his steady job as an art teacher and fully devote himself to what he describes as a pursuit（追求） of beauty．
    The common theme of Huang's many works lies in the combination of traditional Chinese elements and Western painting techniques．"I apply Chinese calligraphy（书法），paper cutting，facial makeup of Peking Opera--all the things that I can find in traditional Chinese culture--to Western oil painting，"Huang said at an exhibition held recently in his home county of Montgomery，Maryland in the US，where friends and neighbors had come to view some of his work．
    One of Huang's works in the show，which had been featured on the exhibition's flier（广告传单），served as a good example．Titled In Harmony，the painting shows two green dragons facing one another on a golden plate--a characteristic of Chinese tradition．Huang decorated the surface with the words"peace"and"dragon"，both in Chinese and in English．Michele Cohen，director of the Betty Mae Kramer Gallery，pointing to Huang's In Harmony，says："I think this work really shows how an artist can combine one tradition with another，and it really comes out in a mixed form．"
    In 1998，American composer Silas Huff met Huang at an exhibition and was moved by Huang's sketch Tapestry of Dreams，which was later realized into a large-scale work consisting of a dozen 1-by-1-meter panels of paintings describing the traditions and longings of Huang's people．
    Inspired by the work，Huff composed a 25-minute symphony（交响乐），Spring Song Festival，made up of Chinese folk melodies．Ten years later when Huff and Huang reconnected，Huff was able to bring two ballet schools on board and create a ballet based on the symphony．The work was performed at LaGuardia Performing Art Center in New York in the spring of 2009，with Huang's Tapestry of Dreams as a background．
    64．What is the theme of Huang's many works？A
    A．The combination of traditional Chinese elements and Western painting techniques．
    B．The difference between traditional Chinese elements and Western painting techniques．
    C．The advantages of traditional Chinese elements and Western painting techniques．
    D．The disadvantages of traditional Chinese elements and Western painting techniques．
    65．We can inferC．
    A．Huff composed a 25-minute symphony，Spring Song Festival after he arrived in China．
    B．Huff composed a 25-minute symphony，Spring Song Festival because he graduated in China．
    C．Huff composed a 25-minute symphony，Spring Song Festival，because of Huang's work．
    D．Huff composed a 25-minute symphony，Spring Song Festival because of money．
    66．Which is the best title of the passage？A
    A．A Pursuit of Beauty
    B．The Life of an Artist
    C．True Friends
    D．The Differences of Art
    67．Michele Cohen，director of the Betty Mae Kramer Gallery，A．
    A．thinks highly of Huang's In Harmony．
    B．pays no attention to Huang's In Harmony．
    C．wants to buy Huang's In Harmony．

    5．When we talk about a library，we may think of shelves and shelves lined with books．But a new library set to open this fall in Texas won't have any books----at least not the kind you can leaf through．．
    There will be 10，000 digital books available for loan（借出）in the BiblioTech library in Bexar County，Texas．About 1.7 million county residents will be able to check out the books online without leaving their homes．The library will also provide 100 e-readers for people to borrow．In the library，people can work，study and access the Internet using dozens of computer stations．
    "We wanted to find a cheap，effective way to bring reading and learning to the county and also focus on the change in the world of technology，"Bexar County Judge Nelson Wolff，the man who started the project，told reporters．
    Digital-only academic libraries already exist in the US．The University of Texas at San Antonio opened the first in 2010，and officials say it's been a success．Many public libraries even offer digital books in addition to paper copies．But Biblio Tech will be the country's first completely paperless public library system．Tucson，Arizona，and Newport Beach，California，attempted to open bookless public libraries in 2002 and 2011，respectively，but both ended up offering paper books after public outcry．
    However，Residents of Tucson and Newport Beach lived close to libraries and could easily get to them．Many areas of Bexar County，on the other hand，lack public libraries，so residents don't have easy access to books．Wolff hopes Biblio Tech will solvethat problem．
    Critics argue against digital-only libraries，saying many people prefer to see and hold actual books．Some say books with pictures，such as children's books and how-to books，work better than digital books．Others say people who aren't comfortable with technology won't be able to use the paperless libraries．They also point out that many digital books are not available for libraries to purchase for their collections．
    But supporters of digital libraries say these institutions will make books available to more people，like the residents of Bexar County．Wolff himself，who collects print books，says he doesn't intend paperless libraries to replace traditional ones，but to exist alongside them．"People are always going to want books，"he says．"But the world is changing．"
    71．Wolff hopes to open more paperless libraries across the country，if Biblio Tech succeeds．What do we know about the Biblio Tech library？C
    A．The first 10，000 people can read the digital books for free．
    B．It will provide about 1.7 million digital books for the readers．
    C．People can read the digital books at the library or at home．
    D．It won't provide the loan service for people out of Texas）
    72．From Paragraph 4，we can infer thatC．
    A．Officials in the US helped build the digital-only academic libraries．
    B．The first digital-only academic library opened in 2002 in the US
    C．Other attempts at opening digital-only public libraries have failed．
    D．The University of Texas once tried to open a bookless public library．
    73．What does the underlined part"that problem"in Paragraph 5 refer to？A
    A．People in Bexar County can't read books easily．
    B．Tucson and Newport Beach lack public libraries．
    C．There aren't digital libraries in Bexar County．
    D．Residents aren't comfortable with technology．
    74．What are the reasons why critics are opposed to digital-only libraries？B
    a．Some people enjoy seeing and possessing printed books．
    b．Books with pictures work better than digital ones．
    c．Some people aren't good at using the Internet．d．The prices of some digital books are too high．
     A．abd                B．abc                C．acd                  D．bcd
    75．From what Wolff said in Paragraph 7，we learn thatD．
    A．The future of print books is controlled by readers   
    B．Digital books will take the place of print ones soon
    C．People will lose their interest in reading books in the future
    D．Paperless libraries and the traditional ones should coexist．

    10．Let us suppose it is now about A．D.2060．Let's make believe it is about sixty years from now．Of course，things have changed and life is very different．
    Voyages to the moon are being made every day．It is as easy to take a holiday on the moon today as it was for the people in 1960 to take a holiday in Europe．At a number of scenic spots on the moon，many hotels have been built，the hotels are air--conditioned，naturally．So that everyone can enjoy the beautiful scenery on the moon．Every room has at least one picture window．Everything imaginable is provided for entertainment of young and old．
    What are people eating now？People are still eating food．They haven't yet started to take on their supply of energy directly as electrical current or as nuclear power．They may be some day．But many foods now come in pill form，and the food that goes into the pill continues to come mainly from green plants．
    Since there are several times as many people in the world today as there were a hundred years ago，most of our planet's surface has to be filled．The deserts are irrigated with water．Crops are no longer destroyed by pests．The harvest is always good．
    Farming，of course，is very highly developed．Very few people have to work on the farm．It is possible to run the farm by just pushing a few buttons now and then．
    People are now largely vegetarians．You see，as the number of people increased，the number of animals decreased．Therefore，the people have to be vegetarians and we are healthier in both our bodies and our minds，too，and we know the causes and cure of diseases and pain，and it is possible to get rid of disease．No one has to be ill any more．
    Such would be our life in 2060．
    66．What are the hotels on the moon used for in 2060？D
    A．Scientific experiments．
    B．People who have no houses．
    C．Astronauts．
    D．Holiday people．
    67．Which of the following is WRONG？C
    A．In the story，the population of the world has increased．
    B．Voyages to the moon are being made every day．
    C．A great number of people work on the farm．
    D．The food comes mainly from green plants．
    68．According to the passage，why are people largely vegetarians？B
    A．Because most people like vegetables better．
    B．Because the number of people increased and the number of animals decreased．
    C．Because people think meat is unhealthy．
    D．Because there are no animals at all．
    69．According to the passage，what about the people's health in 2060？B
    A．Because the people have to be vegetarians，they are very thin．
    B．The people have no illness．
    C．The doctor don't know how to treat the diseases and pain．
    D．The people are less healthier in our bodies than in our minds．
    70．When was the passage written？C
    A．In about A．D.2060
