At Drexel University"s new Library Learning Terrace, which opened just last month, there is not a bound【C1】______, just rows of computers and plenty of seating offering【C2】______to the Philadelphia university"s 170 million【C3】______items. Scott Erdy, designer of the new library, says open,【C4】______space allows student and staff "knowledge transfer," a concept【C5】______by Danuta Nitecki, dean of Drexel"s libraries. "We don"t【C6】______house books, we house learning," she says. The trend began, naturally,【C7】______engineers, when Kansas State University"s engineering library went primarily bookless several years ago. Last year, Stanford University【C8】______all but 10,000 printed books from its new engineering library, making more room【C9】______large tables and study areas.

"A book【C17】______knowledge, and striking a balance in a library is a good thing." He says.【C18】______other designers, seem inspired by the challenge presented by a world going bookless. Others are hedging their bets that 【C19】______the library isn"t bookless now, someday it probably will be. To most people, it is best when paper and electronic【C20】______are both available.(分数:40.00)(1).【C1】(分数:2.00)A.documentB.volume √C.dataD.script解析:解析:段首提到无纸化图书馆出现了,此句说该大学的图书馆中只有成排的电脑和座位,故可知此处与段首句中的bookless相呼应,故选B项volume。
bound volume意为“合订本”。
(2).【C2】(分数:2.00)A.shortcutB.access √C.solutionD.exit解析:解析:句中提到“无纸化图书馆里没有书,只有电脑和座位”,空格后的to指向的对象是items,而电脑和座位是为查阅图书而提供的设施,故B项access“通道;使用权”最符合句意。
(3).【C3】(分数:2.00)A.visualB.printedC.copiedD.digital √解析:解析:本句提到通过电膳可以查阅费城大学图书馆里的资料,此处应指无纸化图书馆里的电子图书,与前文提到的bookless相照应,故选D项digital“数字的”。
(4).【C4】(分数:2.00)A.luxuriousfortableC.flexible √D.clean解析:解析:上文提到新的图书馆没有纸质书,只有成排的计算机和大量的座位。
由此可推断新图书馆的空间不再受书籍分类的限制,在任何方位都可以很灵活地上网查询所需的资料。

(5).【C5】(分数:2.00)A.enforcedB.reinforced √C.controlledD.denounced解析:解析:上文提到图书馆设计“让师生得以‘知识转移’”,下一句提到图书馆馆长的观点“我们还储存知识”,进一步加深、巩固了“知识转移”的概念,故B项reinforced“加强”符合题意。
(6).【C6】(分数:2.00)A.just √B.yetC.evenD.rather解析:解析:说话者在讲述无纸化图书馆的功能,无纸化图书馆里虽然没有纸质的图书,但是有数字图书,故“我们不收藏图书”应该不是说话者的本意,故空格处填入A项just“只是,仅仅”,就很符合题意。
(7).【C7】(分数:2.00)A.with √B.asC.byD.in解析:解析:本句说无纸化图书馆的趋势是怎么开始的。

故选C项definition“定义”。
(12).【C12】(分数:2.00)A.Knock out √B.Stick toC.Squeeze throughD.Cross out解析:解析:下文说the tent comes down(帐篷坍塌),能造成帐篷坍塌的原因是柱子没有了(倒了),故A 项Knock out“撞倒”符合题意。
