The Angel Hotel review: A heavenly place to stay in Abergavenny
One of Wales’s loveliest small towns has one of its loveliest small hotels and?they even have an option for you to stay within the grounds of Abergavenny Castle. However, the Walnut Inn’s owners have another place you need to know about the award-winning Angel Hotel, a delightful place in the very heart of the town centre. Its location makes it the perfect place to stay.
We absolutely love it: it is an ideal mix of a lovely self-catering place with the stress-free ease of a hotel stay. And speaking of easing the stress, they’ll even lend you a car if you arrive by train: the hotel has a little electric vehicle called a ‘Twizy’, which guests can use during their stay.
Food and drink
The beautifully decorated?Oak Room Restaurant provides a varied menu from breakfast in the morning to dinner in the evening. On the menu, guests will find dishes made with quality local produce. More informal dinner surroundings are available in the Foxhunter bar—full of comfortable leather sofas. It offers a range of beers and wines.
What to do
For walking, cycling and climbing, Abergavenny is a perfect base on the edge of the?Brecon Beacons National Park, where there are many things to do. Three towering mountains surround the town, all of which—including the dramatic Sugar Loaf—can be reached on foot. If you want to do all of them in a day, it’s easily done in the Angel’s ‘Twizy’ electric car.
Don’t miss
Abergavenny has plenty of interesting little shops and cafés, including a large Italian-Welsh deli, but the highlight is the?covered market. It’s an interesting place to visit for a couple of hours.
The Angel Hotel, Abergavenny, has rooms from ￡95—you can enquire via?www.angelabergavenny.com,?or call?01873 857121.

Elon Musk is a symbol of passion, hard work and success. A person may work hard in his life, but when hard work goes along with passion and a new idea, then something is created that astonishes the world. As the founder of big companies like PayPal, SpaceX, and Tesla Motors, Elon Musk is a guide and inspiration for the youth around the world.
Elon Musk was born on June 28, 1971 in Pretoria, South Africa. He was the eldest of three children. His father Errol Musk, a British-born South African, was an engineer. Musk spent his childhood in South Africa and at the age of 9, he got his first personal computer. This got Elon interested in programming and he started to learn on his own. At the age of 12, he made his first computer game, Blaster, which earned him $500 when he sold the source code to a magazine.
When he was 17, he decided to leave home and had wanted to move to the United States after graduating from a secondary school in Pretoria. However, he was unable to move to the United States. In 1989, Elon Musk moved to Canada, where his mother’s relatives lived. After obtaining Canadian citizenship, Musk went to Montreal. Due to a lack of money, he found a low-paying job. At the age of 19, he entered Queens University in Kingston, Ontario, studying there for two years. Finally, in 1992, his dream came true—he moved to the United States.
As a teenager, Musk struggled with depression. But then he realized that the most important thing was presenting himself with the right questions. The day he started doing this, everything started to get easier.
Musk thought that a human being had to expand the limits of his consciousness—to ask the right questions and get answers to them; thus he asked the best question of all: what will have the greatest impact on the future of humans? Musk found that these things were the Internet and space exploration.
The life of Elon Musk is inspiring. He found success on the Internet, without much formal learning. By reading books and using his willpower and dedication, he reached a level of knowledge that is difficult to imagine. He did not give up until he achieved his dreams. Elon Musk truly stands out among other billionaires because of his leadership abilities, positive attitude, ability to know when to take risks, and belief in futuristic technologies.
34. According to the passage, Elon Musk gained knowledge of computer by ________.
A. teaching himself B. learning from his father
C. taking online courses D. studying in Queens University
35. What made things easier for Elon Musk when he suffered from depression?
A. Expanding knowledge by reading books. B. Asking himself the right questions.
C. Achieving success on the Internet. D. Designing computer games.
36. What can we learn from the passage?
A. It’s never too late to learn. B. Youth means limitless possibilities.
C. Where there’s a will, there’s a way. D. He who doesn’t advance falls backward.
37. Which words can best describe Elon Musk according to the passage?
A. Optimistic and generous. B. Ambitious and determined.
C. Independent and helpful. D. Adventurous and realistic.

Photographer Rebecca Douglas has always been fascinated by the night sky. Her love for stars has taken the U.K. resident on “star walking” trips to Iceland and into the Arctic, where she steps out onto darkened trails to capture twinkling stars and glowing planets in her images.
Hiking at night isn’t uncommon. Plenty of people hike after dark to get to campsites or watch the sunrise from a mountaintop. Star walking goes a step further by blending hiking with stargazing. Rather than heading to an observatory or setting up a telescope in your backyard, star walking takes you on a brief journey to look at the stars from different viewpoints.
Whether you’re in the mountainside or by the lake with stars reflecting on the water, star walking is often much more dynamic than traditional stargazing.
What’s more, star walking is good for you. There are plenty of?studies?that show the health benefits of being in nature. Spending at least two hours a week outdoors, particularly while engaging in what involves “effortless attention”, can decrease blood pressure, heart rate, and stress levels.
So how does an aspiring star walker get started? It doesn’t take much more than a sturdy pair of boots.
While telescopes and binoculars obviously have their uses, people are encouraged to start with naked-eye stargazing. Using only the eyes allows one to get lost in the infinite expanse of space and lets the mind go.
It is advised that one read up on the night sky before heading out. Free mobile apps, such as?Star Walk 2, can help identify celestial bodies（天體）and are easy to use—simply point your phone at the sky to reveal a map. Websites like?Sky & Telescope?and NASA’s?Space Place?cover the basics, have in-depth explanations on stars, and offer advice on equipment.?Space Place?posts?monthly skywatching updates, so you can plan outings around events such as meteor showers.
In the?United States, national parks are great options for inexperienced night hikers. Many offer guided outings that explain the importance of protecting night skies. Those with a good number of walks under their belt may want to try?Glacier National Park?in?Montana.
If national parks and other dark-sky designated areas are out of range, check local astronomy clubs and observatories for guided sessions. Sites like the?International Astronomical Union?are useful for finding resources by area.
At the end of the day, the best advice is to take it slow and enjoy the journey.
“With all of the chaos（混亂）that’s happening around us, the one constant has been the night sky,” explains Douglas, who has been exploring popular places nearby, long after the crowds have gone home for the day. “Walking is quite a mindful way of looking up and being reminded that, although everything feels so different, some things are still the same.”
38. According to the passage, star walking refers to ________.
A. going to an observatory
B looking at stars in mountains
C. combining hiking and stargazing
D. setting up a telescope in the backyard
39. One of the reasons why people go on a star walking is that _______.
A. it’s easier to identify celestial bodies
B. it is good for physical and mental health
C. they can enjoy the journey without crowds
D. they can raise awareness of protecting night skies
40. According to the passage, a star walking beginner is advised to _______.
A. prepare a pair of strong boots
B. start by observing with telescopes
C. join an astronomy club or an observatory
D. find guided outings with the help of mobile apps
41. The main purpose of the passage is to ________.
A excite people’s interest in star walking
B. recommend some places for star walking
C. explain the health benefits of star walking
D. introduce the preparations for star walking

In the natural habitat, a binge-watcher is a strange sub-species of?modern human beings. They are alone and are often found lying on their bed or sofa, still as a rock, looking searchingly into their laptop or at the TV. They rarely get up, only taking occasional breaks for those urgent calls of nature. Unlike so many others of their species, they don’t sleep at the end of every day. They stay up late and are often found to have red eyes.
This, of course, is a little bit exaggerated, but for many of us,?binge-watching a show is how we consume our entertainment. With streaming services bringing seemingly endless content to the tips of our finger, creators tailor their shows to our needs and tastes, while their marketing team sells it to us as the next most bingeable?show. I can’t help but wonder if this way of consuming television does us any good.
We’re advised to get 7 to 8 hours of sleep per day, but staying up all night to finish shows like ‘Breaking Bad’ and ‘The Fall’, which Netflix says are binged the fastest, won’t result in 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep. Netflix’s CEO Richard Hastings told analysts at a conference, “Think about it… when you watch a show from Netflix and you get addicted to it, you stay up late at night. We’re competing with sleep.” And it isn’t only the amount of sleep we get; the quality matters too! A?study?published in the Journal for Clinical Sleep Medicine reported that those who binged television more often were found to have poorer sleep quality. The mental arousal we get from watching TV doesn’t lend itself to peaceful sleep.
Besides, binging TV can cause weight gain. For every extra hour of TV watched, there was a 2% increase in the prevalence of obesity, according to a?study conducted by Harvard that linked TV watching to obesity in children and adolescents.
While it is true that there’s growing evidence that binging isn’t good for us, the results aren’t all hopeless. Binging,?occasionally, might have some benefits. For many people, binging is a good way to socialize. It gives people something to talk about at parties and with their friends. Fans of popular shows often hold viewing parties where people can binge-watch shows together and then discuss what they just experienced! This interaction can create a sense of community for many.
For others, binging might just be relaxing. After a long day, a few hours of Friends—still one of the most popular shows on any streaming platform—can ease the stress of a long day. A?study?followed 240 people through their binging and recorded their stress hormones. They noted for some people that their stress hormone levels decreased during their binging experience.
With binging, there is not a “good” or “bad” answer. Like many things, the key is moderation. Watching TV can be relaxing, but only if it doesn’t stop you from exercising, taking care of your health, and fulfilling your social responsibilities.
42. What does the underlined word “tailor” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Study. B. Sell. C. Adjust. D. Promote.
43 What can we learn from the passage?
A. The amount of sleep matters more than the quality.
B. There’s no real harm in binge-watching a TV series.
C. Binging may help keep stress hormone levels stable.
D. Binge-watching may help increase social connections.
44 What is the author’s attitude towards binge-watching?
A. Supportive. B. Unconcerned. C. Objective D. Doubtful.
45. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Who Is to Blame for Binge-Watching? B. Is Binge-Watching Good or Bad for You?
C. Is Binge-Watching Getting out of Control? D. How Does Binge-Watching Affect Your Life?

As online learning becomes more common and more resources are changed to digital form, some people have suggested that public libraries should be shut down and everyone should be given a tablet.
Supporters of this idea state that it will save local cities and towns money because libraries are expensive to maintain. They also believe it will encourage more people to read because they can simply click on what they want to read wherever they are.
However, it would be a serious mistake to replace libraries with tablets. Digital books and resources are associated with less learning and more problems than print resources. A study done on tablet vs. book reading found that people read 20-30% slower on tablets, remember 20% less information, and understand 10% less of what they read, compared to people who read the same information in print. Additionally, staring too long at a screen has been shown to cause health problems, including blurred vision, dizziness, dry eyes and headaches, at much higher instances than reading print does. We should not add to these problems by giving people, especially young people, more reasons to look at screens.
It is incredibly narrow-minded to assume that the only service libraries offer is book lending. Libraries have a lot of benefits, and many are only available if the library has a physical location. Some of these benefits include acting as a quiet study space, giving people a way to talk to their neighbors, holding classes on a variety of topics, providing jobs, answering questions, and keeping the community connected. One neighborhood found that, after a local library instituted community events such as play times for kids and parents, job fairs for teenagers, and meeting spaces for senior citizens, over a third of residents reported feeling more connected to their community. Therefore, people see libraries as a way to connect with others and get their questions answered, which are benefits that tablets can’t offer as well or as easily.
While replacing libraries with tablets may seem like a simple solution, it would encourage people to spend even more time looking at digital screens, despite the many issues surrounding them. It would also end access to many library benefits that people have come to rely on. In many areas, libraries are such an important part of the community network that they could never be replaced by a simple object.
68. Why do some people believe tablet reading can encourage more people to read? (不多于14個(gè)單詞)
69. What does the study in paragraph 3 show? (不多于12個(gè)單詞)
70. According to paragraph 4, what are the advantages of public libraries over tablets? (不多于15個(gè)單詞)
71. Do you think public libraries will be replaced by tablets? Why or why not?(單詞數(shù)不限)

【解析】
【原文】Good morning, everyone. Today I’m going to give some advice on improving memory. First, give the brain a workout. As physical workouts can increase our muscle strength, mental workouts can increase our memory by challenging ourselves to develop new brain pathways. For example, learning a new language, solving higher-level math problems, and writing essays can serve as mental workouts. Second, do physical exercise. Physical exercise can increase blood circulation throughout our body, which sends more oxygen to our brain. Therefore, it reduces the risk of memory loss and increases the brain activity. The third tip is to get enough sleep. Sleep plays an important role in memory. While the amount of required sleep time might vary, most adults should get 7-9 hours of sleep a night to store memories in the brain. Finally, make time for family and friends. Healthy relationships are necessary to improve our memory, which helps reduce the factors that can lead to memory loss, such as stress and depression. Our memory is closely linked to both our physical and mental health, and the best way to improve our memory is to have a healthy daily routine. Thank you.

The Angel Hotel review: A heavenly place to stay in Abergavenny

However, the Walnut Inn’s owners have another place you need to know about the award-winning Angel Hotel, a delightful place in the very heart of the town centre.

And speaking of easing the stress, they’ll even lend you a car if you arrive by train: the hotel has a little electric vehicle called a ‘Twizy’, which guests can use during their stay.
Food and drink

If you want to do all of them in a day, it’s easily done in the Angel’s ‘Twizy’ electric car.

Elon Musk is a symbol of passion, hard work and success. A person may work hard in his life, but when hard work goes along with passion and a new idea, then something is created that astonishes the world. As the founder of big companies like PayPal, SpaceX, and Tesla Motors, Elon Musk is a guide and inspiration for the youth around the world.
Elon Musk was born on June 28, 1971 in Pretoria, South Africa. He was the eldest of three children. His father Errol Musk, a British-born South African, was an engineer. Musk spent his childhood in South Africa and at the age of 9, he got his first personal computer. This got Elon interested in programming and he started to learn on his own. At the age of 12, he made his first computer game, Blaster, which earned him $500 when he sold the source code to a magazine.
When he was 17, he decided to leave home and had wanted to move to the United States after graduating from a secondary school in Pretoria. However, he was unable to move to the United States. In 1989, Elon Musk moved to Canada, where his mother’s relatives lived. After obtaining Canadian citizenship, Musk went to Montreal. Due to a lack of money, he found a low-paying job. At the age of 19, he entered Queens University in Kingston, Ontario, studying there for two years. Finally, in 1992, his dream came true—he moved to the United States.
As a teenager, Musk struggled with depression. But then he realized that the most important thing was presenting himself with the right questions. The day he started doing this, everything started to get easier.
Musk thought that a human being had to expand the limits of his consciousness—to ask the right questions and get answers to them; thus he asked the best question of all: what will have the greatest impact on the future of humans? Musk found that these things were the Internet and space exploration.
The life of Elon Musk is inspiring. He found success on the Internet, without much formal learning. By reading books and using his willpower and dedication, he reached a level of knowledge that is difficult to imagine. He did not give up until he achieved his dreams. Elon Musk truly stands out among other billionaires because of his leadership abilities, positive attitude, ability to know when to take risks, and belief in futuristic technologies.
34. According to the passage, Elon Musk gained knowledge of computer by ________.
A. teaching himself B. learning from his father
C. taking online courses D. studying in Queens University
35. What made things easier for Elon Musk when he suffered from depression?
A. Expanding knowledge by reading books. B. Asking himself the right questions.
C. Achieving success on the Internet. D. Designing computer games.
36. What can we learn from the passage?
A. It’s never too late to learn. B. Youth means limitless possibilities.
C. Where there’s a will, there’s a way. D. He who doesn’t advance falls backward.
37. Which words can best describe Elon Musk according to the passage?
A. Optimistic and generous. B. Ambitious and determined.
C. Independent and helpful. D. Adventurous and realistic.

Photographer Rebecca Douglas has always been fascinated by the night sky. Her love for stars has taken the U.K. resident on “star walking” trips to Iceland and into the Arctic, where she steps out onto darkened trails to capture twinkling stars and glowing planets in her images.
Hiking at night isn’t uncommon. Plenty of people hike after dark to get to campsites or watch the sunrise from a mountaintop. Star walking goes a step further by blending hiking with stargazing. Rather than heading to an observatory or setting up a telescope in your backyard star walking takes you on a brief journey to look at the stars from different viewpoints.
Whether you’re in the mountainside or by the lake with stars reflecting on the water, star walking is often much more dynamic than traditional stargazing.
What’s more, star walking is good for you. There are plenty of?studies?that show the health benefits of being in nature. Spending at least two hours a week outdoors, particularly while engaging in what involves “effortless attention”, can decrease blood pressure, heart rate, and stress levels.
So how does an aspiring star walker get started? It doesn’t take much more than a sturdy pair of boots.
While telescopes and binoculars obviously have their uses, people are encouraged to start with naked-eye stargazing. Using only the eyes allows one to get lost in the infinite expanse of space and lets the mind go.
It is advised that one read up on the night sky before heading out. Free mobile apps, such as?Star Walk 2, can help identify celestial bodies（天體）and are easy to use—simply point your phone at the sky to reveal a map. Websites like?Sky & Telescope?and NASA’s?Space Place?cover the basics, have in-depth explanations on stars, and offer advice on equipment.?Space Place?posts?monthly skywatching updates, so you can plan outings around events such as meteor showers.
In the?United States, national parks are great options for inexperienced night hikers. Many offer guided outings that explain the importance of protecting night skies. Those with a good number of walks under their belt may want to try?Glacier National Park?in?Montana.
If national parks and other dark-sky designated areas are out of range, check local astronomy clubs and observatories for guided sessions. Sites like the?International Astronomical Union?are useful for finding resources by area.
At the end of the day, the best advice is to take it slow and enjoy the journey.
“With all of the chaos（混亂）that’s happening around us, the one constant has been the night sky,” explains Douglas, who has been exploring popular places nearby, long after the crowds have gone home for the day. “Walking is quite a mindful way of looking up and being reminded that, although everything feels so different, some things are still the same.”
38. According to the passage, star walking refers to ________.
A. going to an observatory
B. looking at stars in mountains
C. combining hiking and stargazing
D. setting up a telescope in the backyard
39. One of the reasons why people go on a star walking is that _______.
A. it’s easier to identify celestial bodies
B. it is good for physical and mental health
C. they can enjoy the journey without crowds
D. they can raise awareness of protecting night skies
40. According to the passage, a star walking beginner is advised to _______.
A. prepare a pair of strong boots
B. start by observing with telescopes
C. join an astronomy club or an observatory
D. find guided outings with the help of mobile apps
41. The main purpose of the passage is to ________.
A. excite people’s interest in star walking
B. recommend some places for star walking
C. explain the health benefits of star walking
D. introduce the preparations for star walking

In the natural habitat, a binge-watcher is a strange sub-species of?modern human beings. They are alone and are often found lying on their bed or sofa, still as a rock, looking searchingly into their laptop or at the TV. They rarely get up, only taking occasional breaks for those urgent calls of nature. Unlike so many others of their species, they don’t sleep at the end of every day. They stay up late and are often found to have red eyes.
This, of course, is a little bit exaggerated, but for many of us,?binge-watching a show is how we consume our entertainment. With streaming services bringing seemingly endless content to the tips of our finger, creators tailor their shows to our needs and tastes, while their marketing team sells it to us as the next most bingeable?show. I can’t help but wonder if this way of consuming television does us any good.
We’re advised to get 7 to 8 hours of sleep per day, but staying up all night to finish shows like ‘Breaking Bad’ and ‘The Fall’, which Netflix says are binged the fastest, won’t result in 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep. Netflix’s CEO Richard Hastings told analysts at a conference, “Think about it… when you watch a show from Netflix and you get addicted to it, you stay up late at night. We’re competing with sleep.” And it isn’t only the amount of sleep we get; the quality matters too! A?study?published in the Journal for Clinical Sleep Medicine reported that those who binged television more often were found to have poorer sleep quality. The mental arousal we get from watching TV doesn’t lend itself to peaceful sleep.
Besides, binging TV can cause weight gain. For every extra hour of TV watched, there was a 2% increase in the prevalence of obesity, according to a?study conducted by Harvard that linked TV watching to obesity in children and adolescents.
While it is true that there’s growing evidence that binging isn’t good for us, the results aren’t all hopeless. Binging,?occasionally, might have some benefits. For many people, binging is a good way to socialize. It gives people something to talk about at parties and with their friends. Fans of popular shows often hold viewing parties where people can binge-watch shows together and then discuss what they just experienced! This interaction can create a sense of community for many.
For others, binging might just be relaxing. After a long day, a few hours of Friends—still one of the most popular shows on any streaming platform—can ease the stress of a long day. A?study?followed 240 people through their binging and recorded their stress hormones. They noted for some people that their stress hormone levels decreased during their binging experience.
With binging, there is not a “good” or “bad” answer. Like many things, the key is moderation. Watching TV can be relaxing, but only if it doesn’t stop you from exercising, taking care of your health, and fulfilling your social responsibilities.
42. What does the underlined word “tailor” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Study. B. Sell. C. Adjust. D. Promote.
43. What can we learn from the passage?
A. The amount of sleep matters more than the quality.
B. There’s no real harm in binge-watching a TV series.
C. Binging may help keep stress hormone levels stable.
D. Binge-watching may help increase social connections.
44 What is the author’s attitude towards binge-watching?
A. Supportive. B. Unconcerned. C. Objective D. Doubtful.
45. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Who Is to Blame for Binge-Watching? B. Is Binge-Watching Good or Bad for You?
C. Is Binge-Watching Getting out of Control? D. How Does Binge-Watching Affect Your Life?
【答案】42. C 43. D 44. C 45. B

Study.學(xué)習(xí)；B. Sell.出售；C. Adjust.調(diào)整；D. Promote.促進(jìn)。故選C。

As online learning becomes more common and more resources are changed to digital form, some people have suggested that public libraries should be shut down and everyone should be given a tablet.
Supporters of this idea state that it will save local cities and towns money because libraries are expensive to maintain. They also believe it will encourage more people to read because they can simply click on what they want to read wherever they are.
However, it would be a serious mistake to replace libraries with tablets. Digital books and resources are associated with less learning and more problems than print resources. A study done on tablet vs. book reading found that people read 20-30% slower on tablets, remember 20% less information, and understand 10% less of what they read, compared to people who read the same information in print. Additionally, staring too long at a screen has been shown to cause health problems, including blurred vision, dizziness, dry eyes and headaches, at much higher instances than reading print does. We should not add to these problems by giving people, especially young people, more reasons to look at screens.
It is incredibly narrow-minded to assume that the only service libraries offer is book lending. Libraries have a lot of benefits, and many are only available if the library has a physical location. Some of these benefits include acting as a quiet study space, giving people a way to talk to their neighbors, holding classes on a variety of topics, providing jobs, answering questions, and keeping the community connected. One neighborhood found that, after a local library instituted community events such as play times for kids and parents, job fairs for teenagers, and meeting spaces for senior citizens, over a third of residents reported feeling more connected to their community. Therefore, people see libraries as a way to connect with others and get their questions answered, which are benefits that tablets can’t offer as well or as easily.
While replacing libraries with tablets may seem like a simple solution, it would encourage people to spend even more time looking at digital screens, despite the many issues surrounding them. It would also end access to many library benefits that people have come to rely on. In many areas, libraries are such an important part of the community network that they could never be replaced by a simple object.
68. Why do some people believe tablet reading can encourage more people to read? (不多于14個(gè)單詞)
69. What does the study in paragraph 3 show? (不多于12個(gè)單詞)
70. According to paragraph 4, what are the advantages of public libraries over tablets? (不多于15個(gè)單詞)
71. Do you think public libraries will be replaced by tablets? Why or why not?(單詞數(shù)不限)
【答案】68. Because people can simply click on what they want to read wherever they are.
69. Digital books and resources are associated with less learning and more problems.
70. People see libraries as a way to connect with others and get their questions answered.
71. Possible Answer 1:
Yes. First, tablet reading is convenient, as one can access reading materials from anywhere and anytime. Second, it saves time because one does not need to travel to the library to borrow books. Therefore, libraries will be replaced by tablets.
Possible Answer 2:
No. First, we can borrow books for free from the library, which is more economical than buying e-books. Second, lots of people, especially students, enjoy reading in a public library given the quiet atmosphere. Therefore, libraries will not be replaced by tablets.

【分析】本是議論文，文章通過(guò)展示研究數(shù)據(jù)、舉例說(shuō)明和理論分析等方式駁斥了平板電腦可以代替?zhèn)鹘y(tǒng)圖書館這一觀點(diǎn)，認(rèn)為圖書館是社會(huì)網(wǎng)絡(luò)的重要組成部分，它們永遠(yuǎn)不能被一個(gè)簡(jiǎn)單的物體所取代。

考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段中所列舉的研究數(shù)據(jù)可知，該研究證明了中心句“Digital books and resources are associated with less learning and more problems than print resources.(與印刷資源相比，數(shù)字書籍和資源與更少的學(xué)習(xí)和更多的問(wèn)題相關(guān)聯(lián))”的正確，所以研究表明數(shù)字書籍和資源帶來(lái)更少的學(xué)習(xí)和更多的問(wèn)題。故答案為Digital books and resources are associated with less learning and more problems.

考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第四段“Therefore, people see libraries as a way to connect with others and get their questions answered, which are benefits that tablets can’t offer as well or as easily.(因此，人們將圖書館視為一種與他人聯(lián)系和尋找答案的方式，而這些好處是平板電腦無(wú)法提供的 )”可知，圖書館是一種與他人聯(lián)系和尋找答案的方式，這是平板電腦不具備的優(yōu)點(diǎn)。故答案為People see libraries as a way to connect with others and get their questions answered.
【71題詳解】
考查推理判斷。本文是議論文，文章駁斥了平板電腦可以代替?zhèn)鹘y(tǒng)圖書館這一觀點(diǎn)，認(rèn)為圖書館是不能被取代的。對(duì)于這一觀點(diǎn)，我們可以贊同，也可以反對(duì)，所以答案也有兩種可能性。其一：圖書館會(huì)被取代平板電腦，第一，因?yàn)槠桨彘喿x非常方便，因?yàn)槿藗兛梢噪S時(shí)隨地獲取閱讀材料，第二，它節(jié)省了時(shí)間，因?yàn)槿藗儾恍枰D書館借書。因此，圖書館將被平板電腦取代；其二，圖書館不會(huì)被取代平板電腦，首先，我們可以從圖書館免費(fèi)借書，這比購(gòu)買電子書更經(jīng)濟(jì)，第二，很多人，尤其是學(xué)生，喜歡在公共圖書館安靜的氛圍中閱讀。因此，圖書館不會(huì)被平板電腦取代。故答案為
Possible Answer 1:
Yes. First, tablet reading is convenient, as one can access reading materials from anywhere and anytime. Second, it saves time because one does not need to travel to the library to borrow books. Therefore, libraries will be replaced by tablets.
Possible Answer 2:
No. First, we can borrow books for free from the library, which is more economical than buying e-books. Second, lots of people, especially students, enjoy reading in a public library given the quiet atmosphere. Therefore, libraries will not be replaced by tablets.

【答案】Dear Jim,
Learning that you’re going to introduce a traditional Chinese art form during the Chinese Culture Week in your school, I’d like to recommend Beijing Opera.
First of all, Beijing Opera enjoys global popularity. Its unique performance styles, which combine acting, talking, singing, music, dancing and acrobatics, certainly appeal to the audience regardless of their language background. Meanwhile, the performers wear beautiful costumes with various brightly painted masks, which always wows the viewers. Beijing Opera is one symbol of Chinese culture, definitely making it second to none.
