单选题
Why can't the library issue library cards to everyone who applies? A. Because it takes too long to process all the applications. B. Because its resources are limited. C. Because it is a library for special purposes. D. Because there is a shortage of staff.
【正确答案】
B
【答案解析】[解析] This library is an English language teaching and learning library. Unfortunately our resources are limited, so not everybody can join. Teachers of English, university students, and professionals who are in the medical, engineering, and management fields can all join the library. Those from other professions are welcome to apply, but your application will not necessarily be approved. You must fill in a library application form and put it in the box on the librarian's desk. Because of the high number of applications we receive each week, you must wait one week. Please bring your student or work card to pick up your library cards. Library application forms which are not picked up within 2 months will be discarded and you will have to re-apply. You may borrow one video at a time The video must be returned in one week. If you cannot return it on time, please call, otherwise your video library card will be canceled. You may borrow 3 items at one time, i.e. 3 books or 3 cassettes. Items must be returned within one month. You can telephone the library to renew items for another month.
答案信息对应于独白第二句话:Unfortunately our resources are limited,so not everybody can join(可惜我们的资源有限,因此不可能让每个人都人馆)。只要听懂这句话就能轻而易举地选出答案。选 [A] 、[D] 的考生是受了独白第六句话的影响,该句说的是收到的申请表很多,一周后才能给予答复,这并不是不让每个人都人馆的原因。

单选题
For how long can a reader keep the book before he renews it? A. One month. B. One week. C. Two weeks. D. Two months.
【正确答案】
A
【答案解析】独白最后两句指出:Items must be returned within one month...renew items for another month,显然这里的items包括书籍和录音带。[B] 是指借video的时间;[D] 项包括续借时间在内,不合题意;[C] 在独自中未曾提及。
