Guide to Stockholm University Library

Our library offers different types of studying places and provides a good studying environment.

Zones

The library is divided into different zones. The upper floor is a quiet zone with over a thousand places for silent reading, and places where you can sit and work with your own computer. The reading places consist mostly of tables and chairs. The ground floor is the zone where you can talk. Here you can find sofas and armchairs for group work.

Computers

You can use your own computer to connect to the wi-fi specially prepared for notebook computers; you can also use library computers, which contain the most commonly used applications, such as Microsoft Office. They are situated in the area known as the Experimental Field on the ground floor.

Group-study Places

If you want to discuss freely without disturbing others, you can book a study room or sit at a table on the ground floor. Some study rooms are for 2-3 people and others can hold up to 6-8 people. All rooms are marked on the library maps.

There are 40 group-study rooms that must be booked via the website. To book, you need an active University account and a valid University card. You can use a room three hours per day, nine hours at most per week.

The library has lockers for students to store course literature. When you have obtained at least 40 credits (學分), you may rent a locker and pay 400 SEK for a year’s rental period.

4.D

5.D

【解析】

【文章大意】介紹了Stockholm University Library這個圖書館的一些情況。這是一篇帶有標題的應用文，一般有標題的文章，我們要瀏覽一下標題，然后要特別關注第一段（一般是中心段或引入段）以及最后一段（結論段）。這種應用文主要考察細節，總體上說相對較容易。

1.題干中的the upper floor是有關地方的信息，這暗示我們可以在Zones(地帶)這個段落里面去找。The upper floor is a quiet zone with over a thousand places for silent reading, …這說明答案為A。

2.題干中的Library computers on the floor明確告訴讀者答案應該出現在Computers這一部分。結合文中的信息“you can also use library computers, which contain the most commonly used applications, such as Microsoft Office. They are situated in the area known as the Experimental Field on the ground floor.”，我們發現A錯在field experiment，文中的Experimental Field是一個表示對方的專有名詞；這句話中根本沒有提到C項中的wi-fi；這里也沒有提到D項中的application forms(申請表)。因為A、C、D中所出現的單詞均能在原文中找到個別單詞。B項中所出現的單詞基本在原文中找不到。

3.題干中的group-study告訴讀者答案應該出現在Group-study Places中。A錯在must，因為也可以是2-3 people；B錯在minimum(至少)，文中用了You can use a room three hours per day…；D錯在不是applicants標注出來，而是這樣的放間已經標注好了（All rooms are marked on the library maps）。

4.題干中的locker出現在Storage of Study Material中，這里出A、B、C、D中出現文中所提到信息有A和D，但和文中這句“When you have obtained at least 40 credits, you may rent a locker…”相匹配的只有D。

5.文中Keep your phone on silent說明mobile phones是可以帶進來的，food and fruit are forbidden(禁止帶食物和水果)，you are allowed to have drinks and sweets with you，這些說明只能選D。A手機，B橙汁，C糖，D三明治。
