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(纸条) 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.

试题分析：本文介绍了如何在高校图书馆里查找资料。

1.细节题：根据第一段“ 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．

”让我们通过选择一个研究课题，循序渐进查找资料来解释高校图书馆的用途。故选B。

2.细节题：根据文章第二段“Title cards are cataloged by the first word of the book title, leaving out the articles like “a”, “an” and “the”．”标题卡片登记着书籍标题的第一个词，冠词 “a”, “an” 和 “the”可忽略不计。可知如查阅“The Old Man and the Sea ”这本书应以字母“O”开头，故选C。

3.细节题：根据第二段“This is the numerical code that shows where the book is located in the library”数字代码显示书在图书馆里的放置位置。故选A。

4.排序题：根据文章第二段“The first step is to go to the main catalog”可知第一步查找主目录，对应a；根据第二段“And then you get the cards for the books you need”然后你就得到你所需书籍的卡片，对应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”在每张卡片左上角是图书编目号码，这种数字代码可显示出书籍在图书馆内的位置，对应c；第三段“In that case, you must fill out a call slip(纸条) for the book”既然那样，你必须填写这本书的借书证，对应d;根据第三段“You show your call slip together with your library card to a librarian at the information desk”你把这本书的借书证和你的图书证一起交给咨询台的图书管理员，对应b，故正确的顺序是a-e-c-d-b，选C。
