题目内容

A German writer named Johanners Von Buttlar tells an amazing story in his best-selling book called Timeslip. He writes that in India, there are special, mysterious libraries. These libraries don't have books. Instead, they have very large palm (棕榈树) leaves which are hundreds of years old. The life story of a person is written on each palm leaf. The palm leaf tells the story of the person's past, present, and future. Wise men wrote the stories on these palm leaves centuries ago. However, the truly amazing thing is that, if any person living today visits one of the palm leaf libraries, this person will find a palm leaf with his or her own life story. The palm leaf will tell this person's past, present, and future. Perhaps you are wondering how it is possible for wise men who lived centuries ago to know the lives of persons living today. Von Buttlar explains that these wise men had the power to predict（预见）the future. With this power, the wise men could foresee the events in the lives of people who would be born centuries after them. The wise men could also foresee which of these people would go to the palm leaf libraries, and so wrote the palm leaves only for these persons.

1. According to the passage, if one had the chance to visit one of the palm leaf libraries, he would find _______ .

A. his own life story on one of the palm leaves

B. the life story of any person he wants to know about

C. the life stories of people who lived thousands of years ago

D. palm leaves on which the wise men's life stories are written

2. How many palm leaves and books are there in a palm leaf library?

A. A lot of palm leaves but few books.

B. Only one large palm leaf but no books.

C. A lot of palm leaves but no books. D. Several palm leaves and several books.

3. If there is any doubt about the truth of Von Buttlar's story, what is it?

A. In fact there are no such palm leaf libraries in India.

B. He just gives his own explanation to such palm leaf libraries in India.

C. He has never been to such palm leaf libraries in India.

D. It is impossible to write stories on palm leaves.
