For over 100 years, libraries have played an important role in Americans’ education. But how are these book—filled buildings changing with the times? You may be surprised to find out. Benjamin Franklin famously founded (创建) America’s first lending library in 1731. But the public library system got its biggest development in the American history in the late ICOOS. Businessman Andrew Carnegie donated millions of dollars to help build free public libraries across the country. Between 1886 and 1919, Carnegie’s donations helped build 1,679 new libraries. Carnegie believed that libraries could offer the chances to Americans, young and old. He knew that the more libraries there were, the more people would have opportunities to read and use books, speeches and news. If you can easily find a public library in your community(社区), you’ll get more chances. After all, the United States has 9,225 public libraries. Today, libraries keep growing. Seven tenths of the libraries have free Internet. It provides much more information and opportunities to ask for jobs online. Libraries are also teaching kids about the fun of reading. The new program Read! Build! Play! ads reading into playtime. As kids listen to a book that is being read aloud, they use Legos (乐高积木) to build images(图像) from the story happily. Today’s libraries are always looking for creative programs to bring people into the library. Benjamin Franklin once said, “The doors of wisdom(智慧) are never shut.” As long as the doors of public libraries are open, what he said is most certainly correct! 31. Benjamin Franklin founded the first lending library in ________. A. 1731 B. 1800 C. 1886 D. 1919 32. How many public libraries have free Internet now? A. 2767. B. 6458. C. 9225. D. 1679. 33. The right order of the following statements is ________. ①The public library system in America developed fast. ②The first lending library was founded. ③Libraries provide information and chances to ask for job online. ④ Libraries try to bring people into the library by using creative programs. A. ②①③④ B. ②③④① C. ③④①② D. ①②③④ 34. The last paragraph mainly tells us ________. A. the writer doesn’t agree with Benjamin Franklin B. public libraries in the US should never close the doors C. libraries help people to open the doors of wisdom D. libraries have played an important role in Americans’ education 35. The best title for the passage is ________. A. the libraries in the world B. libraries teach kids to read and learn C. libraries and opportunities D. the development of the American libraries 【答案】31. A 32. B 33. A 34. C 35. D 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文。主要向我们介绍了美国图书馆的发展。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Benjamin Franklin famously founded (创建) America’s first lending library in 1731.”可知，本杰明·富兰克林在1731年建立了美国第一个借阅图书馆。故选A。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据“After all, the United States has 9,225 public libraries. Today, libraries keep growing. Seven tenths of the libraries have free Internet.”可知，一共有9,225所图书馆，其中十分之七的图书馆可以免费上网，因此大约有6458所图书馆可以免费上网。故选B。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Benjamin Franklin famously founded (创建) America’s first lending library in 1731.”；“But the public library system got its biggest development in the American history in the late ICOOS.”；“ It provides much more information and opportunities to ask for jobs online.”和“Today’s libraries are always looking for creative programs to bring people into the library.”可知，正确的顺序是②①③④。故选A。 【34题详解】 段落大意题。根据“Benjamin Franklin once said, “The doors of wisdom(智慧) are never shut.”可知，图书馆帮助人们打开了智慧之门。故选C。 【35题详解】 最佳标题题。通读全文可知，主要讲了美国图书馆快速发展。故选D。 C The Amazon rainforest is moving toward a “breaking point”, past which trees will start to die off in large numbers, researchers have said. According to the information from satellite photos, they have discovered that 75 percent of the rainforest is now at risk of being destroyed. “Cutting down too many trees and climate change are possible to be the main reason for this decline,” Niklas Boers of PIK and the Technical University of Munich told the BBC. The study has shown that it is only over ten years until a “significant parts” of the Amazon is changed from rainforest into savannah (大草原). What would the world be like without the Amazon rainforest? “The Amazon stores lots of carbon and all of that would be given out into the air without the rainforest, which would then further lead to increasing temperatures and speeding up global (全球的) warming.” Professor Boulton of the University of Exeter told the BBC. Besides that, it would also have a huge influence on the plants and animals of the Earth. The Amazon rainforest is home to thousands of various plants and animals, according to the Wildlife Conservation Society. A savannah, a grassland environment that is short of a large number of plant life, would be unable to host so many animals that now live in the rainforest. It is possible that a large number of living things would be in danger or even die out, as they would be unable to find their feet in this new and strange environment. 36. What does the first paragraph mainly tell us about the Amazon rainforest? ________ A. Problems. B. Position. C. Advantages. D. Beauty. 37. What does the underlined word “decline” mean? ________ A. 冒险 B. 处理 C. 释放 D. 下降 38. Which of the following might show the effect without the rainforest? ________ A. B. C. D. 39. What can we learn from the last paragraph? ________ A. The Amazon rainforest will give off lots of carbon. B. Only a few animals live in the rainforest at present. C. The rainforest makes a great difference to the Earth. D. The Amazon has changed from rainforest into savannah. 40. What would be the best title for the text? ________ A. What is the Greenhouse Effect ? B. Where is the Home of Wildlife? C. Why is the Amazon Rainforest so Important? D. How can We Protect Grassland Environment? 【答案】36. A 37. D 38. B 39. C 40. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，讲述了亚马逊雨林正在逐渐消失，以及如果没有亚马逊雨林的一些可预见的后果。 【36题详解】 段落大意题。根据第一段内容可知，亚马逊雨林正走向—个“临界点”。超过这个临界点，树木将开始大量死亡。根据卫星照片的信息，他们已经发现75%的雨林现在面临被破坏的危险。故第—段主要告诉我们亚马逊雨林面临的问题。故选A。 【37题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“‘Cutting down too many trees and climate change are possible to be the main reason for this decline,’”可知，砍伐过多的树木和气候变化会导致雨林数量的下降。故选D。 【38题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“‘The Amazon stores lots of carbon and all of that would be given out into the air without the rainforest, which would then further lead to increasing temperatures and speeding up global (全球的) warming.’”可知，亚马逊储存了大量的碳，如果没有雨林，所有的碳都会释放到空气中，这将进一步导致气温上升，加速全球变暖。因此，如果没有雨林，碳和温度的值都会增加，故选B。 【39题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Besides that, it would also have a huge influence on the plants and animals of the Earth.”可知，如果雨林消失，还会对地球上的植物和动物产生巨大影响。故选C。 【40题详解】 最佳标题题。根据第三段“What would the world be like without the Amazon rainforest? ”可知，本文主要介绍了如果没有亚马逊雨林的—些可预见的后果，即强调亚马逊雨林的重要性。故选C。 D It was a hot summer day and I had just pulled into the gas station to fill up my car. After filling it up, I started to walk inside to pay. That is when I noticed them. Two elderly women were standing back from their car. There was shock and fear on their faces. I looked and saw what they saw: five wasps (黄蜂) building a nest around their gas cap. I suddenly felt scared. I shared the ladies’ fear. Wasps have never been friends of mine. Several times these wasps have attacked (攻击) me while I was cutting the grass, stinging (蜇) me each time I ran over their nests. The worst time, however, was when I was a young boy. A friend of mine and I were playing in my backyard. I must have stepped on one of their nests again because before I knew it, both of us were being chased and stung by the wasps while we ran away screaming. I ran to my mom with tears in my eyes. She ran a cold bath and put us both in it to ease (减轻) the pain before giving us medicine to help us feel better. Still, I knew I couldn’t let fear stop me now. I reached into my pocket for a paper towel I had there, tore out the nest and stepped on it while the wasps buzzed around me. Both of the ladies thanked me for what I did. You can’t let the fear of being stung-either physically or emotionally- keep you from doing what is right. We need to love each other and change the world for the better. And the only way you can do this is through helpful acts and kindness. Don’t let the wasps in your life hold you back. 41. Why was there shock and fear on the women’s faces? A. They saw a fire in the gas station. B. They were scared of wasps. C. They were too old to drive the car. D. They couldn’t find their way out 42. The writer tells his experiences in Paragraph 2 to show________. A. what his childhood life was like B. what to do after being stung C. why he was scared of the wasps D. how to deal with the wasps 43. What did the writer’s mother do first after the writer got stung? A. She gave him some medicine. B. She asked him to step on the nests. C. She took him to see a doctor. D. She put him into a cold bath. 44. What did the writer do to save the two women? A. He drove away the wasps. B. He destroyed the wasps. C. He ran away from the gas station. D. He told them to take a cold bath. 45. The story mainly tells us that ________.

Inspired by this experience, I plan to do more in the future. First of all, I’ll continue to reuse things instead of throwing them away. Secondly, I will reduce the use of energy.

For over 100 years, libraries have played an important role in Americans’ education. But how are these book—filled buildings changing with the times? You may be surprised to find out. Benjamin Franklin famously founded (创建) America’s first lending library in 1731. But the public library system got its biggest development in the American history in the late ICOOS. Businessman Andrew Carnegie donated millions of dollars to help build free public libraries across the country. Between 1886 and 1919, Carnegie’s donations helped build 1,679 new libraries. Carnegie believed that libraries could offer the chances to Americans, young and old. He knew that the more libraries there were, the more people would have opportunities to read and use books, speeches and news. If you can easily find a public library in your community(社区), you’ll get more chances. After all, the United States has 9,225 public libraries. Today, libraries keep growing. Seven tenths of the libraries have free Internet. It provides much more information and opportunities to ask for jobs online. Libraries are also teaching kids about the fun of reading. The new program Read! Build! Play! ads reading into playtime. As kids listen to a book that is being read aloud, they use Legos (乐高积木) to build images(图像) from the story happily. Today’s libraries are always looking for creative programs to bring people into the library. Benjamin Franklin once said, “The doors of wisdom(智慧) are never shut.” As long as the doors of public libraries are open, what he said is most certainly correct! 31. Benjamin Franklin founded the first lending library in ________. A. 1731 B. 1800 C. 1886 D. 1919 32. How many public libraries have free Internet now? A. 2767. B. 6458. C. 9225. D. 1679. 33. The right order of the following statements is ________. ①The public library system in America developed fast. ②The first lending library was founded. ③Libraries provide information and chances to ask for job online. ④ Libraries try to bring people into the library by using creative programs. A. ②①③④ B. ②③④① C. ③④①② D. ①②③④ 34. The last paragraph mainly tells us ________. A. the writer doesn’t agree with Benjamin Franklin B. public libraries in the US should never close the doors C. libraries help people to open the doors of wisdom D. libraries have played an important role in Americans’ education 35. The best title for the passage is ________. A. the libraries in the world B. libraries teach kids to read and learn C. libraries and opportunities D. the development of the American libraries C The Amazon rainforest is moving toward a “breaking point”, past which trees will start to die off in large numbers, researchers have said. According to the information from satellite photos, they have discovered that 75 percent of the rainforest is now at risk of being destroyed. “Cutting down too many trees and climate change are possible to be the main reason for this decline,” Niklas Boers of PIK and the Technical University of Munich told the BBC. The study has shown that it is only over ten years until a “significant parts” of the Amazon is changed from rainforest into savannah (大草原). What would the world be like without the Amazon rainforest? “The Amazon stores lots of carbon and all of that would be given out into the air without the rainforest, which would then further lead to increasing temperatures and speeding up global (全球的) warming.” Professor Boulton of the University of Exeter told the BBC. Besides that it would also have a huge influence on the plants and animals of the Earth. The Amazon rainforest is home to thousands of various plants and animals, according to the Wildlife Conservation Society. A savannah, a grassland environment that is short of a large number of plant life, would be unable to host so many animals that now live in the rainforest. It is possible that a large number of living things would be in danger or even die out, as they would be unable to find their feet in this new and strange environment. 36 What does the first paragraph mainly tell us about the Amazon rainforest? ________ A. Problems. B. Position. C. Advantages. D. Beauty. 37. What does the underlined word “decline” mean? ________ A. 冒险 B. 处理 C. 释放 D. 下降 38 Which of the following might show the effect without the rainforest? ________ A. B. C. D. 39. What can we learn from the last paragraph? ________ A. The Amazon rainforest will give off lots of carbon. B. Only a few animals live in the rainforest at present. C. The rainforest makes a great difference to the Earth. D. The Amazon has changed from rainforest into savannah. 40. What would be the best title for the text? ________ A. What is the Greenhouse Effect ? B. Where is the Home of Wildlife? C. Why is the Amazon Rainforest so Important? D. How can We Protect Grassland Environment? D It was a hot summer day and I had just pulled into the gas station to fill up my car. After filling it up, I started to walk inside to pay. That is when I noticed them. Two elderly women were standing back from their car. There was shock and fear on their faces. I looked and saw what they saw: five wasps (黄蜂) building a nest around their gas cap. I suddenly felt scared. I shared the ladies’ fear. Wasps have never been friends of mine. Several times these wasps have attacked (攻击) me while I was cutting the grass, stinging (蜇) me each time I ran over their nests. The worst time, however, was when I was a young boy. A friend of mine and I were playing in my backyard. I must have stepped on one of their nests again because before I knew it, both of us were being chased and stung by the wasps while we ran away screaming. I ran to my mom with tears in my eyes.
