Question

College libraries are designed primarily for research and study. To explain its use, let us choose a research topic and follow the step-by-step procedure of looking up the material for the paper．

    Suppose your assignment is to write a paper on a novel called The Sun Also Rises by American writer Hemingway．The first step is to go to the main catalog．Many small drawers on the large wooden cabinets are lined up in alphabetical(字母的) order．Each of the drawers contains hundreds of alphabetical ordered cards．These cards are printed references to all material available in the library．Title cards are cataloged by the first word of the book title, leaving out the articles like “a”, “an” and “the”．And then you get the cards for the books you need．On the upper left corner of each card is the call number．This is the numerical code that shows where the book is located in the library．The library has open and closed stacks．If your book is on the open stacks, you can go to the open-stack room, and according to the call number find it out by yourself．There are only about 30,000 books on open stacks, while most of the 800,000 books in our library are kept in closed stacks, which are accessible only to teachers and graduate students.www.zxxk.com

    For undergraduates like you, borrowing books from the closed stacks have to be done with the help of our librarian．In that case, you must fill out a call slip(紙條) for the book, showing the call number, author and title．You can get call slips on tables near the catalog cabinets．You show your call slip together with your library card to a librarian at the information desk．He or she will help you find the book out in the closed stacks.

試題分析：本文介紹了如何在高校圖書館里查找資料。

1.細節題：根據第一段“ To explain its use, let us choose a research topic and follow the step-by-step procedure of looking up the material for the paper．

”讓我們通過選擇一個研究課題，循序漸進查找資料來解釋高校圖書館的用途。故選B。

2.細節題：根據文章第二段“Title cards are cataloged by the first word of the book title, leaving out the articles like “a”, “an” and “the”．”標題卡片登記著書籍標題的第一個詞，冠詞 “a”, “an” 和 “the”可忽略不計。可知如查閱“The Old Man and the Sea ”這本書應以字母“O”開頭，故選C。

3.細節題：根據第二段“This is the numerical code that shows where the book is located in the library”數字代碼顯示書在圖書館里的放置位置。故選A。

4.排序題：根據文章第二段“The first step is to go to the main catalog”可知第一步查找主目錄，對應a；根據第二段“And then you get the cards for the books you need”然后你就得到你所需書籍的卡片，對應e；第二段“On the upper left corner of each card is the call number.This is the numerical code that shows where the book is located in the library”在每張卡片左上角是圖書編目號碼，這種數字代碼可顯示出書籍在圖書館內的位置，對應c；第三段“In that case, you must fill out a call slip(紙條) for the book”既然那樣，你必須填寫這本書的借書證，對應d;根據第三段“You show your call slip together with your library card to a librarian at the information desk”你把這本書的借書證和你的圖書證一起交給咨詢臺的圖書管理員，對應b，故正確的順序是a-e-c-d-b，選C。
