We’ve been hearing about it for years, but the bookless library has finally arrived, first appearing on college campuses. At Drexel University’s new Library Learning Terrace, which opened just last month, there is not a bound【C1】______, just rows of computers and plenty of seating offering【C2】______to the Philadelphia university’s 170 million【C3】______items. Scott Erdy, designer of the new library, says open,【C4】______space allows student and staff "knowledge transfer," a concept【C5】______by Danuta Nitecki, dean of Drexel’s libraries. "We don’t【C6】______house books, we house learning," she says.
The trend began, naturally,【C7】______engineers, when Kansas State University’s engineering library went primarily bookless several years ago. Last year, Stanford University【C8】______all but 10,000 printed books from its new engineering library, making more room【C9】______large tables and study areas. And the University of Texas a-bandoned print【C10】______electronic material when it opened its engineering library last year. But when books disappear, does a library lose its【C11】______?
"The library is a social tent pole," says Michael Connelly, a best-selling author. "There are a lot of ideas under it.【C12】______the pole and the tent comes down." Connelly says that browsing through【C13】______books brings inspiration of the kind that led him from【C14】______his campus library’s stacks straight to a writing【C15】______. "Can something like that happen in a bookless library? I’m not so sure," he says.
From a design perspective, some architects also【C16】______the inevitable trend toward booklessness. Steven Holl, architect of Queens Library’s new branch, in New York City, says books still provide character and are a nice counterpoint to technology. "A book【C17】______knowledge, and striking a balance in a library is a good thing." He says.【C18】______other designers, seem inspired by the challenge presented by a world going bookless. Others are hedging their bets that【C19】______the library isn’t bookless now, someday it probably will be. To most people, it is best when paper and electronic【C20】______are both available.
【C4】
选项
A、luxurious
B、comfortable
C、flexible
D、clean
答案
C
解析
上文提到新的图书馆没有纸质书,只有成排的计算机和大量的座位。由此可推断新图书馆的空间不再受书籍分类的限制,在任何方位都可以很灵活地上网查询所需的资料。C项flexible“灵活的”带有明显的褒义,与空格前的open“开放的”照应,说明无纸化给新图书馆带来的新特点。
