III.Reading comprehension(阅读理解)(共20小题；每小题2分，计40分)
Read the following passages.Each passage is followed by several
questions.Respond to the questions according to the passage.(阅读下列短文，然后根据短文后的要求答题。)(答案与在答题纸上)
A
The camel library is like no other library.It is unique to Kenya.Like traditional libraries,books can be boorowed and returned.Unlike traditional libraries,books are carried to people by camels.
The camel library was started in Northern Kenya,where many people live in remote villages. The nearest town,called Garissa,is hundreds of kilometres away from these villages. Many of the villagers have never learned to read.They cannot afford to buy books,let alone have access to the Internet.Until 1996,the only library in the area was in Garissa.The distance meant villagers could not get to it.
The problem was solved with the creation of a mobile library.However,while mobile libraries in other places use trucks,this one uses camels to take the books to the villages. Camels are often the most efficient form of transportation in Northern Kenya,as the poor roads make driving difficult. Trucks,buses,and cars often break down. Camels can carry heavy things and travel long distances without water. And, unlike trucks,they don't need good roads.
The camel library uses three camels.They carry more than 200 books to ten villages in Northern Kenya. Four people travel with the camels.One of them acts as a guard to make sure no one tries to steal the books along the way.The camels walk from one village to another,five days a week.The camel library spends one day in each village,and then goes to the next small town.It visits each village once every two weeks.
The books in the camel library are in English, which the children in the villages are learning as a foreign language in school.Swahili is the national language of Kenya,but there are not many books written in Swahili.
Books can be borrowed for only two weeks at a time.If someone finishes a book quickly,he or she will have to wait until the camel library comes back before getting another one.
Questions 56--57:Tell whether the following statements are true(T)or false(F)according to the passage.
