Reading comprehension (阅读理解): (共50分)‎ A. Choose the best answer（根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案): ( 12分)‎ This was the first real task I received in my new school. It seemed simple: go on the Internet and find information about a man named George Washington. As I searched the name, I found that there were two famous people having the same name who looked completely different! One invented hundreds of uses for peanuts（花生）, while the other led some sort of army across America. I stared at the screen, wondering which one my teacher meant. I called my grandfather for a golden piece of advice; let the coin decide. I flipped(掷) a coin and Ah! Tails (背面)! My report would be about the great man who invented peanut butter, George Washington Carver.‎ Weeks later, I stood in front of the classroom and proudly read my homework. But things started to get strange. I looked around the room, only to find my classmates with big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes and my stone-faced teacher. I was completely lost. “What could be causing everyone to act this way?”‎ Oh well, I dropped the paper and sat down at my desk, burning to find out what I had done wrong. As a classmate began his report, it all became clear, “My report is on George Washington,‎ ‎ the man who started the American War of Independence.” The whole world became quiet! How could I know that my teacher meant that George Washington?‎ Of course, my subject result was awful. Sad but fearless, I decided to turn this around. I talked to the headmaster Miss Lancelot, but she said firmly: No re-dos; no new score. I felt that it was not fair, and I believed I deserved a second chance. So I threw myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year. Ten months later, I sat in the headmaster’s office again, but this time a completely different conversation. I smiled and flashed back to the terrible moment at the beginning of the year as the headmaster told me I was good enough to skip(跳过) the 6th grade and started the 7th grade next term. ‎ ‎69.

I believed that I wouldn’t have any 75 problems when I went to America. So I was really looking forward to having a nice easy holiday there.‎ ‎ How 76 I was! The misunderstanding (误解) began at the airport. I was looking for a public telephone to call my friend Danny who had been in America for two years and told her that I had arrived.

For more than 100 years, libraries have played an important role in Americans’ e 81 . But how are these book-filled buildings changing with the times? You may be surprised to find out.‎ Benjamin Franklin famously founded America’s first lending library in 1731. But the public library system got its b 82 development in the American history in the late ‎1800’‎s. Businessman Andrew Carnegie donated(捐赠) 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 in the chances that libraries could o 83 Americans, young and old. He knew that the more libraries there were, the more people would have access（接触的机会） to books, lectures, news and more. ‎ Chances are that there is a public library in or near your c 84 . You can easily find one close to your home. After all, the United States has 9,225 public libraries. Today, libraries keep growing. Seven out of ten libraries have free Internet. This opens many doors for people who cannot go online at home, ‎ i 85 the opportunity to apply for jobs online.‎ Libraries are also teaching kids about the fun of reading. The new program Read! Build! Play! adds reading into playtime. As kids listen to a book being read aloud, they use Legos (乐高积木) to build images from the story h 86 . Today’s libraries are always looking for creative programs to bring people into the library.[来源:学科网ZXXK]‎ Benjamin Franklin once said, “The doors of wisdom are never s 87 .” As long as the doors of public libraries are open, what he said is most certainly correct!‎ D. Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题): ( 12分)‎ How much pocket money do you get? How do you spend it? The Blue Book of Chinese ‎ Teenager Financial(金融的) Study shows that social activities now take up more of teenagers’ spending. The book was about teenagers’ spending habits. It was based on studies in nine cities in China, such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. The results show that students are spending more and more on their relationships with friends and classmates, such as having meals together and buying birthday gifts. Only one-third of high school students think about the price when choosing gifts. Most say they only care about what their friends like. ‎ Xiao Hao, 17, a student at Gaoyou Normal School in Jiangsu, spent more than 1,000 yuan on his birthday meal this February. “They had given me gifts. If I hadn’t done anything in return, I’d have lost face,” Xia said. ‎ Xia’s experience is quite usual among the young students. A meal can cost a student’s pocket money for a month. Many just ask more from parents when they use up their money. ‎ Zhang Wei, an expert on teenagers’ financial study, suggested that teenagers should learn to make a budget. A budget is a plan of how money will be spent. It helps make decisions about money. To make good use of your money, you can also set a limit. Learn to balance your wants and needs. When choosing gifts for friends, let them know that you care. Sometimes a handmade gift is much better than an expensive one. ‎ ‎88.Were there 3 cities in China taking part in the study?(1分)‎ ‎ ____________，_______________________________________________________.‎ ‎89.
