He knew how to read but he had never seen a book in his life. So he asked the new priest（牧师）in his village to give him one. But there was no electricity. So Leonardo borrowed candles from the church and sat up all night reading it. The next morning, he was at the door of the priest asking for another book to read.‎ ‎ John Medcalf, the priest，was moved. He also realised that people would love to read if given a chance. But he knew how difficult it was for Leonardo and those in his village to get books. And yet, no one can be taught to read and write without books. To make people in a poor, faraway area grow to love books，they have to be with them. So he thought the only way was to bring books to people.‎ ‎ But how could this be done? Mobile libraries or car libraries would be too expensive and difficult to continue in the rocky, hilly land of Peru. So what other method could be used?‎ ‎ Medcalf got a new idea from the barefoot（赤脚）doctors of China. And that was how the barefoot librarians（图书管理员）first appeared in the villages of northern Peru，almost thirty years ago.‎ ‎ The librarians began by going from village to village, lending books to villagers. They helped start The 12ura1 Library Network of Peru.‎ ‎ At first，they were teachers of the village schools which these faraway libraries belonged - 9 -‎ to. But the teachers were not very interested in the job because it meant a lot of hard work.‎ So, village leaders took on the job themselves.‎ ‎ Today, there are 600 village libraries across Peru. The barefoot librarians who walk up to 15 hours a day with bags of books are their lifeline.‎ ‎21. The first paragraph tells us that Leonardo ‎ ‎ A. had a lot of books B. bought candles from others ‎ C, enjoyed reading books D. lived in the church ‎22. The underlined word "this" in Paragraph 3 probably refers to（指）” ” ‎ ‎ A, to grow to love books B. to bring books to people ‎ C. to read and write D. to build a new library ‎23. The passage doesn't mention ‎ ‎ A, when the barefoot librarians appeared B. who worked as village librarians at first ‎ C. where Medcalf met Chinese doctors D. how many village libraries Peru has today ‎24. It can be inferred（推断）from the passage that ．‎ ‎ A. the first church in Peru was set up by John Medcalf ‎ B. car libraries used to be popular in Leonardo's village ‎ C. teachers were interested in bringing books to villagers ‎ D. the barefoot librarians are important to village libraries B As we all know, it was Thomas Jefferson who wrote the Declaration of Independence (《独立宣言》). He wrote it in two weeks, and after a few changes, it was accepted by the Congress (国会). As a result, he became famous.‎ Born in 1743 in Virginia, Thomas Jefferson, a wonderful student at school and almost talented(天才的 ) lawyer later, was much interested in politics.‎ Jefferson was elected the Governor of Virginia in 1779, and he was sent to France as the representative of the American government in 1784. Sixteen years later, at the age of 57, he was elected president after Washington and Adams.‎ Far from a handsome man, he was tall with long arms and big hands. Jefferson, who was an amusing(令人愉快的) talker in conversation but a poor speaker, was generally good-natured.‎ Jefferson was regarded as a defender of freedom in America. As a president, he protected the right of free speech. Interestingly enough, in his eight years as president, Jefferson never vetoed (否决) a bill which the Congress had passed. He did a lot in organizing the new University of Virginia.‎ Thomas Jefferson died on July the fourth, 1826, the fiftieth anniversary of American Independence.‎ ‎25. From the passage we can infer that America won its independence in _______.‎ A. 1786 B. 1800 C. 1842 D. 1776‎ ‎26. How old was Thomas Jefferson when he was elected President of the U.S.A.?‎ - 9 -‎ A. He was 47. B. He was in his forties. C. He was 57. D. We don’t know.‎ ‎27. Which of the following statements is TRUE?‎ ‎ A. Jefferson was an amusing talker, but not good at speaking in public.‎ B. Jefferson was not an easy person to get along with.‎ C. Jefferson was not only very talented but also very handsome.‎ D. Not being politically minded, Jefferson never vetoed a bill passed by the Congress.‎ ‎28. Jefferson died when he was ________.‎ A. 72 B. 83 C. 73 D. 92‎ C ‎ Last week I visited my friend Pete in the new home where he lives with his wife and daughter. Pete used to spend his holidays travelling the world, visiting the pyramids in Egypt or scuba diving(潜水) in the Caribbean. Nowadays he prefers to spend his holidays and weekends making his house look more beautiful. Like hundreds of thousands of other British people, he has discovered the joy of DIY (Do It Yourself), which means if there are any things that need fixing around the house, he will try to do the job himself.‎ ‎ As he showed me the new kitchen he put together by himself and the newly painted walls, I asked Pete where he got his inspiration (灵感) from. He told me that his favorite source of ideas was a DIY program on TV.‎ ‎ This got me thinking about the great popularity of DIY programs in the UK. Each major channel has at least one home or garden improving show and there’s even a satellite channel completely about the subject.‎ ‎ I guess it is not really surprising that DIY programs are so popular. Two common sayings in Britain－ ‘an Englishman’s home is his castle’ and ‘there’s no place like home’－show how important our houses are to us. With the present economic downturn, many people can’t afford to buy a bigger house so they are looking at how they can make their house better without spending a lot of money. DIY is the perfect choice.‎ ‎ But be careful! I read a report that said over 230,000 people were injured while doing home improvements in the UK in just one year, including 41,000 who fell off ladders(梯子) and 5,800 who were seriously hurt by hammers. So I won’t be going down to the hardware store.‎ ‎29. How did Pete spend his holiday in the past?‎ ‎ A. Visiting his friends. B. Diving.‎ ‎ C. Travelling around the world. D. Making his house beautiful.‎ ‎30. Which might NOT be shown in a DIY program on TV?‎ ‎ A. Scuba diving B. A garden improving feature.‎ ‎ C. Home improvements. D. Fixing things in kitchens ‎31. Which is NOT the reason why DIY is popular among British people?‎ ‎ A. They enjoy DIY. ‎ ‎ B. They want to make their houses better themselves.‎ ‎ C. They can improve their houses without spending much money.‎ - 9 -‎ ‎ D. They want to be on TV.‎ ‎32. At the end of the article the writer wants us to remember _____.‎ ‎ A. not to go to the hardware store ‎ B. to be careful not to get hurt while doing DIY ‎ C. to keep watching DIY on TV while drinking a nice cup of tea ‎ D. not to climb ladders or use hammers D Monthly Talks at London Canal Museum ‎ Our monthly talks start at 19:30 on the first Thursday of each month except August.
