| The multimillion pound new Library of Birmingham (LoB) will be the most visible sign of the way the city i  s accepting the digitalization (数字化) of everyday life.Set to open in 2013,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 compani  es 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 wi  th the digital, providing 24hour 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 say  s, be as important as the physical one, allowing the distant use of theservices, 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 the LoB, but the virtual one  has also enabled those working on the LoB to understand thebuilding and how it will work before it even opens. Two other small Birminghambased digital compa  nies 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 Cahoot  s, in which users will be encouraged to add to and comment onthe material. Gambles says:"Technology will enable us to make the library's content and services open to citizens as never before." 1. The underlined 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 2. While visiting the Virtual LoB the public can ________. A. get a general idea of the LoB B. meet many world  famous expertsC. learn how to put up a library building D. understand how the specialists work on the project 3.

| Have you ever wondered? 1.Why do airplanes take longer to fly west than east?, It can take five hours to go westeast from New York (NY) to London but seven hours to travel eastwest from London to NY.The reason for the difference is an atmospheric phenomenon known as the jet(喷射) stream.The jet stream is a very high altitude wind which always blows from the west to the east across the Atlantic.The planes moving at a constant air speed thus go faster in the westeast direction when they are moving with the wind than in the opposite direction. 2.What would happen if the gravity on Earth was suddenly turned off?, Supposing we could magically turn off gravity.Would buildings and other structures (建筑物) float away? What happened would depend on how strongly the things were attached to the Earth.The Earth is moving at quite a speed, moving at over a thousand miles per hour.If you turn something around your head on a string(细绳), it goes around in a circle until you let go of the string.Then it flies off in a straight line.'Switching off' gravity would be like letting go of the string.Things not attached to the Earth would fly off in a straight line.People in buildings would suddenly shoot upwards at a great speed until they hit the ceiling.Most things outside would fly off into space. 1. What information can we get from the first passage? A. It is the jet stream that affects how fast airplanes fly. B. Planes go slower when they are moving with the wind. C. It takes more time to fly from NY to London than from London to NY. D. The jet stream always blows from the east to the west across the Atlantic. 2. The word"shoot"underlined in the 2nd passage probably means"________". A. send for B. move quickly C. come out D. grow quickly 3. It can be inferred that without gravity________. A. buildings and other structures would float away B. trees and buildings would not so easily fly off C. something around your head would not float away D. everything outside buildings would fly off into space 4. Where can we most probably read this text? A. In a research paper. B. In a short story. C. In a travel magazine. D. In a student's book. |
