• 10．The Angel Hotel review：A heavenly place to stay in Abergavenny One of Wales's loveliest small towns has one of its loveliest small hotels and they even have an option for you to stay within the grounds of Abergavenny Castle.However，the Walnut Inn's owners have another place you need to know about the award，a delightful place in the very heart of the town centre.Its location makes it the perfect place to stay.
     We absolutely love it：it is an ideal mix of a lovely self-catering（自助式）place with the stress-free ease of a hotel stay.And speaking of easing the stress，they'll even lend you a car if you arrive by train：the hotel has a little electric vehicle called a 'Twizy'，which guests can use during their stay.
     • Food and drink
     The beautifully decorated Oak Room provides a varied menu from breakfast in the morning to dinner in the evening.On the menu，guests will find dishes made with quality local produce.More informal dinner surroundings are available in the Foxhunter bar—full of comfortable leather sofas.It offers a range of beers and wines.
     • What to do
     For walking，cycling and climbing，Abergavenny is a perfect base on the edge of the Brecon Beacons National Park，where there are many things to do.Three towering mountains surround the town，all of which—including the dramatic Sugar Loaf—can be reached on foot.If you want to do all of them in a day，it's easily done in the Angel's 'Twizy' electric car.
     • Don't miss
     Abergavenny has plenty of interesting little shops and cafés，including a large Italian-Welsh deli（熟食店），but the highlight is the covered market.It's an interesting place to visit for a couple of hours.
     The Angel Hotel，Abergavenny，has rooms from £95—you can enquire via www.angelabergavenny.jye.ai，or call 01873 857121.

IV. 阅读表达（共1小题； 每小题8分， 共8分）阅读下面的短文和问题，根据短文内容，在相应题号后的横线上写下相关信息，完成对该问题的回答。答语要意思清楚，结构正确，书写工整。

• 30．As online learning becomes more common and more resources are changed to digital form，some people have suggested that public libraries should be shut down and everyone should be given a tablet.
      Supporters of this idea state that it will save local cities and towns money because libraries are expensive to maintain.They also believe it will encourage more people to read because they can simply click on what they want to read wherever they are.
      However，it would be a serious mistake to replace libraries with tablets.Digital books and resources are associated with less learning and more problems than print resources.A study done on tablet vs.jye.ai reading found that people read 20-30% slower on tablets，remember 20% less information，and understand 10% less of what they read，compared to people who read the same information in print.Additionally，staring too long at a screen has been shown to cause health problems，including blurred vision，dizziness，dry eyes and headaches，at much higher instances than reading print does.We should not add to these problems by giving people，especially young people，more reasons to look at screens.
      It is incredibly narrow-minded to assume that the only service libraries offer is book lending.Libraries have a lot of benefits，and many are only available if the library has a physical location.Some of these benefits include acting as a quiet study space，giving people a way to talk to their neighbors，holding classes on a variety of topics，providing jobs，answering questions，and keeping the community connected.One neighborhood found that，after a local library instituted community events such as play times for kids and parents，job fairs for teenagers，and meeting spaces for senior citizens，over a third of residents reported feeling more connected to their community.Therefore，people see libraries as a way to connect with others and get their questions answered，which are benefits that tablets can't offer as well or as easily.
      While replacing libraries with tablets may seem like a simple solution，it would encourage people to spend even more time looking at digital screens，despite the many issues surrounding them.It would also end access to many library benefits that people have come to rely on.In many areas，libraries are such an important part of the community network that they could never be replaced by a simple object.
  
  （1）Why do some people believe tablet reading can encourage more people to read？ （不多于14个单词）

  
  （2）What does the study in paragraph 3 show？ （不多于12个单词）

  
  （3）According to paragraph 4，what are the advantages of public libraries over tablets？ （不多于15个单词）

  
  （4）Do you think public libraries will be replaced by tablets？Why or why not？（单词数不限）
