The human Library, which began 19 years ago in Denmark, grew from a youth organization called “Stop the Violence”. Today, it is a worldwide movement. This is the third year that NoVa has held such an event. At the event, students got the chance to learn from a person a “human book” instead of a library book. Najeeb Baha, a director at the college, knows about dealing with prejudice. Baha has fair skin, reddish hair and an Abraic name so people are often surprised to learn he is from Afghanistan. And even officers at airports often stop him because of that. Baha told NoVa student Angel Navia that he thought people should not focus so much on skin color, as well as peoples last name or how they speak. Student advisor Connie Robinson was another human book. She said that college education helped her get out of a terrible situation. She was able to take control of her life. “When I talk to students, I just want them to know that whatever they are going through, you know, to continue their education is so important.” Artist Brian Dailey was another human book. He spoke about his travels to 113 countries in seven years. Dailey said that, during his travels, he asked people he took pictures of for a one-word answer to a series of other words such as love, freedom and war. He discovered that people in different countries often had very different answers to the same word. Patricia Cooper, who organized the event, said that human books celebrate diversity by telling their life stories in an easy-going setting. “The goal of the human library is to talk to people in your community who you may otherwise not speak to because you have your own prejudices and hopefully to break down some of these barriers.” 24. Najeeb Baha is often stopped at airports because he _. A. doesnt follow airport rules B. doesnt look like a usual Afghan C. has a problem with foreign languages D. is in a blacklist of dangerous people 25. Connie Robinson went out of troubles _. A. because of her family B. with the help of college education C. because of the college she worked for D. mainly because she took control of her own life 26. How did Brian Dailey draw his conclusion? A. By learning from travel. B. By comparing different pictures. C. By interviewing foreign people. D. By communicating with other human books. 27. Why did Patricia Copper organize the event? A. To let neighbors know each other. B. To encourage people to talk with each other. C. To introduce the importance of reading books. D. To connect people with someone they held prejudices against. 【答案】24. B 25. B 26. A 27. D 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项名为“人类图书馆项目”的活动。 【24 题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Najeeb Baha, a director at the college, knows about dealing with prejudice. Baha has fair skin, reddish hair and an Abraic name so people are often surprised to learn he is from Afghanistan. And even officers at airports often stop him because of that. (Najeeb Baha是该学院的一名主管，他 知道如何应对偏见。巴哈有着白皙的皮肤，淡红色的头发和一个阿拉伯名字，所以当人们 得知他来自阿富汗时，往往会感到惊讶。甚至机场的工作人员也经常因此阻止他)”可推知， Najeeb Baha经常在机场被拦下，因为他看起来不像一个普通的阿富汗人。故选 B。 【25 题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Student advisor Connie Robinson was another human book. She said that college education helped her get out of a terrible situation. (学生顾问康妮罗宾逊是另一本人类的书。她说大学教育帮助她摆脱了糟糕 的处境)”可知，康妮罗宾逊在大学教育的帮助下摆脱了困境。故选 B。 【26 题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“Artist Brian Dailey was another human book. He spoke about his travels to 113 countries in seven years. Dailey said that, during his travels, he asked people he took pictures of for a one-word answer to a series of other words such as love, freedom and war. He discovered that people in different countries often had very different answers to the same word.(艺术家布 莱恩戴利是另一本关于人类的书。他讲述了自己 7年来游历了 113个国家的经历。戴利 说，在他的旅行中，他让他拍照的人用一个词来回答一系列其他的词，比如爱、自由和战 争。他发现，不同国家的人对同一个词往往有非常不同的回答)”可推知，Brian Dailey 通过从旅行中学习得出了他的结论。故选 A。 【27 题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“The goal of the human library is to talk to people in your community who you may otherwise not speak to because you have your own prejudices and hopefully to break down some of these barriers.

Now researchers at the Ohio Musculoskeletal and Neurological Institute (OMNI) at Ohio University have found that the mind is critical in maintaining muscle strength following a long period of not moving and that mental imagination may be key in reducing the associated muscle loss. Strength is controlled by a number of factors-the most studied by far is skeletal muscle. However, the nervous system is also an important, though not fully understood, determining factor of strength and weakness. Brian C. Clark and colleagues set out to test how the system functions in strength development. They designed an experiment to measure changes in wrist (腕) muscle strength in three groups of healthy adults. Twenty-nine subjects wore a hard cast that extended from just below the elbow (肘) past the fingers, effectively preventing the hand and wrist from moving, for four weeks. Fifteen subjects who did not wear casts served as the control group. Of the 29 people wearing a hard cast, half were asked to regularly perform an exercise, imagining they were strongly contracting their wrist for five seconds and then resting for five seconds. This was repeated four times in a row followed by a one-minute break for a total of 13 rounds per session and five sessions per week. The other half performed no imagination exercises. At the end of the four-week experiment, both groups who wore casts had lost strength in their unmoving limbs (肢体) when compared to the control group. But the group that performed imagination exercises lost 50% less strength than the non-imagination group. The nervous systems ability to fully make the muscle recover also returned more quickly in the imagination group compared to the non-imagination group. 28. What does the underlined word “critical” mean in the first paragraph? A. Serious. B. Disapproving. C. Significant. D. Criticizing. 29. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage? A. Scientists have partly understood the nervous system. B. Whoever has worn a cast for long may have difficulty in muscle recovery. C. Scientists have already spent a lot of time in studying skeletal muscle. D. The number of the subjects in the experiment was 29 in all. 30. What can we learn from the experiment? A. The control group lost 50% less strength than the non-imagination group. B. The imagination group lost more strength than the non-imagination group. C. The control group wore casts but didnt perform the imagination exercise. D. The speed of non-imagination groups muscle recovery was slower. 31. Where can you most probably find the passage? A. In a science magazine. B. In a storybook. C. In a textbook . D. In a book review. 【答案】28. C 29. D 30. D 31. A 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。研究表明精神上的想象也许是减少相关肌肉损失的关键。力量 是由多个因素控制的。 【28 题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第一段第二句后半句 mental imagination may be key in reducing the associated muscle loss. 精神上的想象也许是减少相关肌肉损失的关键。可知划线 单词的意思是“重要的” ，故选 C。 【29 题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的最后两句“Twenty-nine subjects wore a hard cast 29” 名受试者戴着一个硬石膏。 “Fifteen subjects who did not wear casts served as the control group. ”十五名没有戴上石膏的受试者作为对照组。因此可知参与做实验的人数 是 44，所以 D选项错误。故选 D。 【30 题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句“The nervous systems ability to fully make the muscle recover also returned more quickly in the imagination group compared to the non-imagination group. ”充分使肌肉恢复的神经系统的能力与非想象组相比较 在想象组中也恢复的更快。由此判断出，非想象组的肌肉恢复速度较慢。故选 D。 【3
