【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据Resources部分中的“The stock of about 8,000 items includes a wide selection of fiction ...the library stocks past papers and revision guides covering all school subjects, as well as books containing guidance on how to study well. Local newspapers can be found here, as well as magazines on a range of topics. ...A number of computers with Internet access are also available for pupil use.”可知，“这个图书馆里有8，000年藏品，包括各种各样的小说。有当地的报纸。过去的数学论文、电脑可接入互联网”，由此可得出，图书馆有8，000藏品但不是全是小说，故A是错误的，故选A。
【2题详解】

【点睛】新闻广告类材料是高考的热门考题。其文句简练，信息量大，句式使用简单，表达方式多样，但阅读这类题目也是有规律可循的。做这类题时没有必要阅读全文。宜采用“倒序法”来处理。即先看问题，后看文章内容，略读问题和选项，带着问题阅读。 此类文章主要考查学生提取信息和处理信息的能力。细节题的破解一般采用寻读法，即先看试题，再读文章。对有关信息进行快速定位，再将相关信息进行整合、甄别、分析、对比，有根有据地排除干扰项，选出正确答案。此法加强了阅读的针对性，提高了做题的准确率，节省了宝贵的时间。如第2小题“ If you are a student in S5, how many books can you borrow at most?”，只要定位于Borrowing部分中的“ S4 – S6 pupils may borrow 6 items for up to 4 weeks.”就可得出，S3的学生最多只能借6本书。故选D。再如第3小题“ If you lost a book borrowed from the library, you would ” 定位于Borrowing部分中的“There are no fines for overdue(过期的) items but failure to return an item will result in a request for payment for a replacement.”可知，如果不还了，要求支付更换费用。分析选项可知C符合题意，故选C。
