A
An eBook library，sometimes called an eLibrary，is a collection of electronic books.Similar to a library filled with physical books，an eBook library can exist as a person's own collection of electronic texts or as a public library that allows users to keep electronic versions of books for a period of time.__1__ Meanwhile，they can be viewed as digital downloads on a computer.
Electronic readers can store e­books and serve as an eBook library.These books，though they do not exist in a physical sense，are the property(财产) of the person who has purchased them.The digital format has also allowed private book collectors to leave their eBook libraries on the Internet.__2__
Some books “live” for a long time.Other classics are preserved for a few hundred years under glass and climate­controlled conditions.But most paper books only last 10－20 years due to moisture(湿气)，mold，mice，silverfish, fire，etc.__3__ Who knows what the future may hold?
__4__ Many libraries now have an eBook library in addition to the physical books they have.People with library cards can borrow digital books from their public libraries by downloading them onto many different eReaders or their personal computers.
However，there are some disadvantages of e­books.For example，some texts and other resources are simply not available in an electronic format.__5__ A person wishing to look at these resources must visit a traditional library.
A．E­books can be read on a number of electronic readers.
B．No trees are consumed in the process of creating e­books.
C．In this way they can re­download their books whenever they want.
D．E­books，however，could potentially last thousands of years as digital files.
E．There is just nothing that will compare to the magic of a room full of books.
F．The popularity of digital books has affected the public library system greatly.
G．This is often the case with limited­edition print journals or texts from centuries ago.
[语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了电子图书馆以及电子书的利弊。
1．解析：根据空后内容“Meanwhile，they can be viewed as digital downloads on a computer.”可知，本空与空后一句为并列关系，共同说明了电子书既可以在电子阅读器上阅读，也可以被下载到电脑上阅读。
答案：A
2．解析：本空与上句内容为递进关系，说明这样他们可以在任何时间重新下载他们的书籍，C项中的they指的是上句中的private book collectors。
答案：C
3．解析：本句与空前内容存在对比关系，说明与纸质书不同的是，电子书以数码形式存在很可能可以保存数千年。
答案：D
4．解析：根据空后内容可知，本句为本段的中心句。本段主要讲电子书的流行影响了公共图书馆系统，故正确答案为F项。
答案：F
5．解析：本空起承上启下的作用，说明有些限量版的杂志或几个世纪之前的文本不是以电子形式存在的，例证了上句内容，因此，想要看这些内容必须去传统的图书馆。
答案：G
B
You probably think of food poisoning as something that you might pick up at a greasy spoon or an outdoor barbecue stand.__1__ The way you handle food in your own kitchen—which，unlike a restaurant，doesn't have to conform to health regulations—can just as easily make you sick.Here are some most overlooked food safety guidelines.
Wash your hands properly.
This might seem like the most obvious food safety practice.However，most people don't bother to do it.And the minority that does wash doesn't do it properly—which might be even more dangerous，because they think they're protecting themselves and their families，when they aren't.__2__
__3__
Chances are you've probably taken a bite of something in the fridge that's just a bit past the expiration date，in an effort to see if it's safe to eat the rest of it.If it's gone dangerously bad，it should taste extremely unpleasant，right？__4__ According to the United States Department of Agriculture，there is one type of bacteria which typically doesn't alter the taste，smell or appearance of food.
Wash fruit and veggies，even if you're going to peel(削皮)them.
__5__ The problem is that when you cut away the unwashed skin and then use the same knife to cut up what's underneath that，you actually may be spreading bacteria from the outside to the previously pristine inside.In fact，you can contaminate(弄脏)the veggies further if your salad bowl or sink is not clean.
A．Not necessarily.
B．Better safe than sorry.
C．Don't taste food to see if it's good.
D．However you wash your hands，at least wash them.
E．Why wash them when you are not going to eat the skin?
F．But those aren't the only places you might get food poisoning.
G．You are supposed to wet your hands with running water, apply soap and wash for at least 20 seconds.

答案：A
5．解析：根据该段小标题可知，该段讲的是水果和蔬菜去皮前应清洗，结合空后一句的内容可知，E项符合语境。
答案：E
C
Real­life Room Escape Games
Real­life room escape games are a type of physical adventure game in which people are locked in a room with other participants and have to use the things in the room to settle a series of puzzles，find clues，and escape the room within a set time limit.
The games are based on Escape the Room video games，such as Crimson Room and QP­Shot，created by Toshimitsu Takagi in 2005，in which the player is locked inside a room and must explore his or her surroundings in order to escape.__1__ Other inspirations include adventure board games and movies.Real­life room escape games are becoming popular in the United States，Japan，and China.__2__ For example，some games require you to escape prison cells while others require you to escape space stations.
__3__ Soon，they were exported to North America，Asia and Australia.Examples include the two pioneer companies HintHunt and AdventureRooms.
The games were so successful that new locations began opening up across China，in cities big and small，according to a newspaper.In the southern city of Shenzhen，for example，the first escape game location opened.__4__ “These real­life escape games can help those who stay at home on their computers and iPads all day to experience real social circles，”said Tian Xiaochuan，who owns two room escape game stores in Jinan.Earlier this year，a newspaper said the real­life escape games are a hit among “highly stressed students and overworked young professionals”．__5__ Some players get so involved that they tear down equipment or decorations inside their “prisons”，as Zhu Yumeng，chief operating officer of a Beijing room escape game store told China Daily.
A．Players must be observant and use their critical thinking skills to escape the room.
B．They should also be brave enough to face their fears.

D．Sometimes the excitement becomes a bit much，though.

Are people less or more happy when they get older？A study in 2018 found that people generally become happier and experience less worry after age 50.In fact，it found that by the age of 85，people are happier with their life than they were at 18.
Arthur Stone in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science at Stony Brook University in New York led the study.His team found that levels of stress were the highest among adults between the ages of 22 and 25.__1__
Happiness was the highest among the youngest adults and those in their early 70s.But the people least likely to report feeling negative emotions were those in their 70s and 80s.The survey also found that men and women have similar emotional patterns as they grow older.__2__
The researchers also considered possible influences like having young children，being unemployed or being single.But they found that influences like these did not affect the levels of happiness and well­being related to age.
__3__ One theory is that，as people get older，they become more thankful for what they have and have better control of their emotions.They also spend less time thinking about bad experiences.
__4__ In another study，people in their 80s reported the fewest problems with the quality of their sleep.The original goal was to confirm the popular belief that aging is connected with increased sleep problems.__5__ But except for that, people reported that they felt their sleep quality improved as they got older.
A．So why will happiness increase with age?
B．Researchers surveyed more than 150，000 American adults.
C．At that time，the people were between the ages of 18 and 85.
D．Stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their 50s.
E．Happiness is not the only thing that apparently improves with age.
F．The survey did find an increase during middle age，especially in women.
G．However，women at all ages reported more sadness，stress and worry than men.
