Befre the internet made bk reviews widely accessible, where wuld curius minds g t find infrmatin abut a new nvel’s subject matter r a plt?
If yu lived in the Ls Angeles area, yu culd reference the Ls Angeles Public Library’s index f fictin bk review cards. The reviews, a cllectin f thusands f index cards, cntain library staff members’ thughts and pinins abut new fictin releases that the library carried. The library system started in the 1920s and int the 1980s.
Rbert Andersn, wh has wrked as a librarian at the LAPL since 1980, says the staff review cards were a handy tl that library staff used t answer specific questins the public had abut different bks. The reviews, alng with being a helpful public tl, als helped staff pick which bks the LAPL wuld rder fr their shelves. If a staff member reviewed a bk favrably, they were mre likely t carry the title and rder multiple cpies.
The review prcess was simple: On an index card, library staff wuld handwrite r type up an abstract f a bk they read and give their persnal review f it. The cards ffered adjectives that the reviewer culd underline t indicate hw the stry might affect readers emtinally. Fr example, fr the library’s review f Virginia Wlf’s 1925 bk Mrs. Dallway, the reviewer underlined “whlesme,” “pleasant,” and “interesting.” Of the staff member’s characterizatin f the bk, Andersn said he wasn’t sure why the reviewer cnsidered Wlf’s writing — which deals with lneliness and ther, ften dark human experiences — t be healthy, “but they did.”
The Ls Angeles Public Library’s index f staff review cards isn’t used regularly anymre. But the system nw serves as a precius histrical recrd f bth the bks, sme almst 100 years ld, as well as the cultural views held by the bk-lving library staff f the time.
24. What culd be fund in the LAPL’s review cards?
A. Public pinins abut the library’s services.
B. A list f all the bks available in the library.
C. A summary f the mst ppular bks in the library.
D. Librarians’ cmments n newly added fictin bks.
25. What was the purpse f the review cards fr the public?
A. T prvide free bks.B. T ffer readers reference.
C. T prmte new authrs.D. T help with bk rders.
26. What can be inferred frm paragraph 4?
A. The reviews’ cmments were subjective.
B. Virginia Wlf’s bks were difficult t understand.
C. The librarians made wrng judgements abut the bks.
D. The reviewers used sme adjectives t describe the bks.
27. What is the authr’s attitude tward the review card system?
A. Critical.B. Dubtful.C. Appreciative.D. neutral.

Frm Beijing, mre than 400 kilmeters away, all the way up nrth, the temperature gradually drps. With the emergence f fire preventin warnings, Saihanba (塞罕坝), knwn as a “miracle n earth”, begins t cme int view. In Octber, the cld wind blwing frm Siberia has dyed (染色) Saihanba glden.
In Mnglian, Saihanba means beautiful high muntains. Hwever, Saihanba was a desert f “yellw sand cvering the sky and flying birds withut inhabiting trees” 62 years ag. Whenever the nrth wind blws, the windy sand lcated in Inner Mnglia will drive suthward, reaching Beijing and Tianjin.
After mre than half a century f frest plantatin, peple wh have cme t Saihanba can hardly imagine the arid (干旱) scene. Occasinally, a gust f wind passes by, and they wuld just sigh and shut hw strng the wind is, but they wuld nt feel sandblasted (喷砂).
On Oct 9, watchmen Liu Jun and Wang Juan were bserving the surrunding frest area n a watchtwer in Saihanba Frest Farm in Hebei prvince. Liu is in charge f the bservatin and Wang keeps recrding.
“Spring and autumn are the critical fire preventin perids fr ur frest farm. We need t stay here fr three mnths, have three meals a day, wrk and live in the building,” says Liu Jun, wh has been engaged in bservatin fr 13 years. Simple as it lks, the jb is quite the burden n their shulders. Only by enjying lneliness can they keep this frest safe and sund.
Saihanba tday is nt nly a “green Great Wall” fr windbreak and sand fixatin (固化), but als a timber (林木) surce. Many peple wuld dubt why the trees that have grwn up here are t be cut dwn in a planned way. Liu explains that mst f the trees here are planted frest, and the frest species are relatively single, unlike natural frests that can adapt n their wn and survive the fittest. The selective cutting f plantatin frests is mre like thinning when farmers plant crps. Only in this way can the nutrient area be expanded and diseased plants als be remved t ensure the healthy develpment f the frest areas.
28. What can be learned abut Saihanba frm the first three paragraphs?
A. It is suffering frm a cld wind.B. Its desertificatin is under cntrl.
C. It is weathering a sandstrm.D. Its climate is beynd expectatin.
29. Which f the fllwing best describes the watchmen?
A. Bred but attentive.B. Stubbrn but respnsible.
C. Tired but engaged.D. Lnely but cmmitted.
30. What des the underlined wrd “thinning” in the last paragraph prbably mean?
A. Making smething mre beautiful and attractive.
B. Making smething strnger and healthier.
C. Making smething less thick r dense.
D. Making smething mre valuable and useful.
31. What can be a suitable title fr the text?
A. The Glden MiracleB. The Sand Wasteland
C. The Timber FarmD. The Green Guardian

Ggle Shpping is transfrming the way peple discver and purchase fashin items by integrating advanced AI tls that make shpping mre intuitive(直观的) and persnalized. Every day, ver a billin shpping searches ccur n Ggle, yet mre than half f shppers reprt difficulties finding prducts that match their specific visin—whether it’s a “clrful midi dress with big daisies” r “tailred wide-leg trusers.” T bridge this gap, Ggle has rlled ut innvative features designed t enhance prduct discvery and decisin-making.
One standut feature is Visin Match, nw available t all mbile users in the U. S. This tl allws shppers t describe their ideal item in detail—such as “strapless satin evening gwn with lace trim”—and generate AI-pwered visual suggestins. By selecting the “Can’t find it? Create it!” ptin r using the “Create & shp” buttn in the Shpping tab, users receive tailred recmmendatins that bring their fashin ideas t life. The feature nt nly displays AI-generated images but als surfaces similar purchasable prducts frm varius retailers.
Anther key advancement is the expanded virtual try-n tl, which nw includes pants, skirts, and dresses in additin t tps. When brwsing items labeled with a “try n” badge, shppers can see hw garments fit n real mdels representing a wide range f bdy types, frm XXS t XXL. Ggle’s imprved machine learning mdels even generate cmplete utfit previews, pairing selected bttms with cmplementary tps and shes fr a realistic styling experience. This helps users visualize hw pieces will lk in real life, reducing uncertainty and bsting cnfidence in their purchases.
By cmbining AI-generated visuals, precise search matching, and immersive try-n capabilities, Ggle Shpping is addressing cmmn frustratins in nline fashin retail. These tls aim t replicate (复制) the in-stre experience f explring styles and assessing fit, all within a digital platfrm. While currently limited t the U. S. market, these innvatins signal a shift tward mre interactive, user-centric e-cmmerce—ne where finding the perfect item is as simple as describing it r seeing it wrn befre clicking “buy”.
32. What is the main purpse f Ggle Shpping’s new AI tls?
A. T favr certain retailers.B. T replace human designers.
C. T decrease search numbers.D. T enhance shpping experience.
33. Hw des the “Visin Match” feature wrk?

B. It prvides discunts fr trying items virtually.
C. It autmatically creates clthing frm different stres.
D. It allws users t redesign clthes befre purchasing.
