Minutes after the last movie ended yesterday at the Plaza Theater, employees were busy sweeping up popcorns and gathering coke cups. It was a scene that had been repeated many times in the theater’s 75-year history. This time, however, the cleanup was a little different. As one group of workers carried out the rubbish, another group began removing seats and other theater equipment in preparation for the building’s end.
The film classic The Last Picture Show was the last movie shown in the old theater. Though the movie is 30 years old, most of the 250 seats were filled with teary-eyed audience wanting to say good-bye to the old building. Theater owner Ed Bradford said he chose the movie because it seemed appropriate. The movie is set in a small town where the only movie theater is preparing to close down.
Bradford said that large modern theaters in the city made it impossible for the Plaza to compete. He added that the theater’s location(位置) was also a reason. “This used to be the center of town,” he said. “Now the area is mostly office buildings and warehouses.”
Last week some city officials suggested the city might be interested in turning the old theater into a museum and public meeting place. However, these plans were abandoned because of financial problems. Bradford sold the building and land to a local development firm, which plans to build a shopping complex on the land where the theater is located.
The theater audience said good-bye as Bradford locked the doors for the last time. After 75 years the Plaza Theater had shown its last movie. The theater will be missed.
24. In what way was yesterday’s cleanup at the Plaza special
A. It made room for new equipment. B. It marked the 75th anniversary of the theater.
C. It was done with the help of the audience. D. It signaled the closedown of the theater.
25. Why was The Last Picture Show put on
A. It was an all-time classic. B. The theater owner found it suitable.
C. The audience requested it. D. It was about the history of the town.
26. What will probably happen to the building
A. It will be repaired. B. It will be knocked down.
C. It will be turned into a museum. D. It will be sold to the city government.
27. What can we infer about the audience
A. They are disappointed with Bradford. B. They are supportive of the city officials.
C. They are sad to part with the old theater. D. They are eager to have a shopping center.
C
Teens and younger children are reading a lot less for fun, according to a Common Sense Media report published Monday.
While the decline over the past decade is steep for teen readers, some data in the report shows that reading remains a big part of many children’s lives, and indicates how parents might help encourage more reading.
According to the report’s key findings, “the proportion (比例) who say they ‘hardly ever’ read for fun has gone from 8 percent of 13-year-olds and 9 percent of 17-year-olds in 1984 to 22 percent and 27 percent respectively today.”
The report data shows that pleasure reading levels for younger children, ages 2—8, remain largely the same. But the amount of time spent in reading each session has declined, from closer to an hour or more to closer to a half hour per session.
When it comes to technology and reading, the report does little to counsel(建议) parents looking for data about the effect of e-readers and tablets on reading. It does point out that many parents still limit electronic reading, mainly due to concerns about increased screen time.
The most hopeful data shared in the report shows clear evidence of parents serving as examples and important guides for their kids when it comes to reading. Data shows that kids and teens who do read frequently, compared to infrequent readers, have more books in the home, more books purchased for them, parents who read more often, and parents who set aside time for them to read.
As the end of school approaches, and school vacation reading lists loom(逼近) ahead, parents might take this chance to step in and make their own summer reading list and plan a family trip to the library or bookstore.
28. What is the Common Sense Media report probably about
A. Quality of children’s books. B. Children’s reading habits.
C. Children’s after-class activities. D. Parent-child relationships.
29. Where can you find the data that best supports "children are reading a lot less for fun"
A. In paragraph 2. B. In paragraph 3. C. In paragraph 4. D. In paragraph 5.
30. Why do many parents limit electronic reading
A. E-books are of poor quality. B. It could be a waste of time.
C. It may harm children’s health. D. E-readers are expensive.
31. How should parents encourage their children to read more
A. Act as role models for them. B. Ask then to write book reports.
C. Set up reading groups for them. D. Talk with their reading class teachers.
D
I have a special place in my heart for libraries as long as I can remember. I was always an enthusiastic reader, sometimes reading up to three books a day as a child. Stories were like air to me and while other kids played ball or went to parties, I lived out adventures through the books I checked out from the library.
My first job was working at the Ukiah Library when I was 16 years old. It was a dream job and I did everything from shelving books to reading to the children for story time.
As I grew older and became a mother, the library took on a new place and an added meaning in my life. I had several children and books were our main source(来源) of entertainment. It was a big deal for us to load up and go to the local library, where my kids could pick out books to read or books they wanted me to read to them.
I always read, using different voices, as though I were acting out the stories with my voice and they loved it! It was a special time to bond with my children and it filled them with the wonderment of books.
Now, I see my children taking their children to the library and I love that the excitement of going to the library lives on from generation to generation.
As a novelist, I’ve found a new relationship with libraries. I encourage readers to go to their local library when they can’t afford to purchase a book. I see libraries as a safe haven(避风港) for readers and writers, a bridge that helps put together a reader with a book. Libraries, in their own way, help fight book piracy(盗版行为) and I think all writers should support libraries in a significant way when they can. Encourage readers to use the library. Share library announcements on your social media. Frequent them and talk about them when you can.
32. Which word best describes the author’s relationship with books as a child
A. Cooperative. B. Uneasy. C. Inseparable. D. Casual.
33. What does the underlined phrase “an added meaning” in paragraph 3 refer to
A. Joy of reading passed on in the family. B. Pleasure from working in the library.
C. Wonderment from acting out the stories. D. A closer bond developed with the readers.
34. What does the author call on other writers to do
A. Sponsor book fairs. B. Write for social media.
C. Support libraries. D. Purchase her novels.
35. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. Reading: A Source of Knowledge B. My Idea about writing
C. Library: A Haven for the Young D. My Love of the Library

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
A couple, Peter and Alice, had a nice home and two lovely children, a boy and a girl. Peter had a good job and had just been asked to go on a business trip to another city and would be gone for several days. It was decided that Alice needed an outing and would go along too. So they hired a reliable woman called Mary to care for their children and made the trip.
Days later, they returned home a little earlier than they had planned.
As they drove into their town feeling glad to be back, they noticed smoke, so they went off their usual route to see what it was. They found a house in flames. Alice said. “Oh, well, it isn’t our fire. Let’s go home.”
But Peter drove closer and screamed in surprise. “That house belongs to Fred Jones who works in the same company with me. He wouldn’t be off work yet, maybe there is something we can do.”
“It has nothing to do with us,” protested (抗议) Alice. “You have your good clothes on. Let’s not get any closer.”
But Peter drove up and stopped. They were both shocked to see the whole house in flames. A woman on the lawn was shouting, “The children! Get the children!”
Peter seized her by the shoulder, saying, “Get a hold of yourself and tell us where the children are!”
“In the basement,” sobbed the woman, “down the hall and to the left.”
In spite of Alice’s protests, Peter turned on a tap, used the water to wet his clothes, put his wet handkerchief on his head and dashed into the basement which was full of smoke.
He got to the door and found two children. Holding one under each arm. Peter headed outside. As he left, he could hear some more whimpering (呜咽声). He delivered the two badly frightened children into his arms and started back asking how many more children were down there.

第一节One possible version:
Dear Mr. Smith,
I’ve learned from the advertisement in the school English newspaper that you need an English interpreter. I am very interested and I think I have the ability to do the job well.
I like English and I am very good at English, especially spoken English. I can communicate with others in English fluently. I have a gift for dealing with people and I’ m also familiar with the teachers and staff in our school. So I can build a bridge between you and them, which will benefit your work and life greatly.
I hope you can give me this chance and I will try my best to do the job well.
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节One possible version:
Paragraph 1:
The woman told him there were two more. Knowing that Peter was ready to dash into the basement again, Alice screamed, “Peter! Don't go back! It's dangerous!” However, thinking nothing of his own safety, Peter went back to the basement by feeling his way down the smoke and into the room. How brave Peter was then! It was after what seemed like a century that he finally found both children and started back.
Paragraph 2:
At that moment, Peter seemed to feel something familiar in his arms. As he climbed up the endless steps, the feeling became much stronger. Considering they would be trapped in the fire, Peter made all his efforts to get out. Fortunately, Peter was finally safe with the two children. To his great surprise, the children he had just rescued were his own kids. Realizing what had happened, Alice ran to them in tears and the whole family hugged together. It turned out later that Mary asked the woman to look after the two kids while she was shopping.

W: Well, my name is Cindy and recently, I’ve finished a tour which is not the type of thing I’d usually go for. But because we won it, we didn’t have to pay anything. We didn’t get off to a good start, though, because the bus from the airport to the hotel was awful. It took ages. The trip was all-inclusive, so all drinks and meals were included in the price. The drinks were fantastic! The hotel food was either tasteless or too hot, but the waiters were all friendly and knowledgeable at least. John decided he wanted to take a trip to a museum, so I went along. Actually, I didn’t really like it. It was pretty disappointing. I surely preferred being near the ocean. The beach was amazing and I went there several times. In the second week, John went off on his own into the mountains, but I stayed in the hotel. I once tried going on an elephant ride, but it was terrible. Elephants frightened me, so I gave up. The two weeks went by so quickly. We got back last night and, all in all, I think it was a great trip, really relaxing. I’m so glad we entered the competition.
