三、阅读理解(每题2分，共20分)
A
Far away, in a forest outside Oslo, Norway, 1，000 new trees have been planted. After ninety nine years, when the trees are full size, some of them will be cut down and used to make paper. And then people will plant more trees. The paper will be used to make copies of an unusual book. The book will include 100 stories by 100 writers written over the things of 100 years. The inside of the book will be kept secret (保密的) until 2114.
The forest and the book are parts of the Future Library. Scottish artist Katie Paterson started the program several years ago. “From 2014 to 2114, we're asking one writer to write a story every year，” Paterson says.
However, Paterson has two very important rules. First, each writer has one year to write the story. Second, they mustn't publish the story in any books, magazines, newspapers or even on the Internet.
What does it mean that writers are asked to write stories and readers today will never get to read “The program is a lot about the imagination，” Paterson says. “It's about thinking about the future and developing an art work that's not just for now but is for a future generation (一代人).”
Paterson got the idea while drawing tree rings (年轮) in a notebook. Each ring in a tree means one year of growth. It made her create the program. Paterson says she wondered if she could grow “a kind of future forest that would become a small library of books”.
1.When can people read the book 　　　　　　　　　　　　
A. In 2014. B. In 2020. C. In 2101. D. In 2114.
2.What does the underlined word “publish” mean
A. 背诵 B. 设计 C. 出版 D. 浏览
3.Which of the following is NOT about the program mentioned by Paterson
A. It's a lot about imagination.
B. It's about developing future artists.
C. It's about thinking about the future.
D. It's about an art work for generations.
4.When did Katie Paterson come up with the idea
A. While drawing tree rings.
B. While imagining the future.
C. While making the writing rules.
D. While writing a story on the notebook.
5.Which one is the best title for the passage
A. The Rules of Writing a Book
B. The Famous Artist—Katie Paterson
C. The Imagination of Future Life
D. A Small Library for Future
B
A long time ago, when all the grandfathers and grandmothers of today were little boys and little girls or very small babies, or perhaps not even born, Dad, Mum, Mary, Laura and Baby Carrie left their little house in the Big Woods of Wisconsin. They drove away and left it alone and empty in the clearing among the big trees, and they never saw that little house again. They were going to the Indian country. Dad said there were too many people in the Big Woods now. The path that went by the little house had become a road. Almost every day Laura and Mary stopped their playing and watched in surprise a wagon(四轮马车) slowly passing by on that road.
Wild animals would not stay in a country where there were so many people. Dad did not like to stay, either. He liked a country where the wild animals lived without being afraid. He liked to see the little fawns(小鹿) and their mothers looking at him from the woods, and the fat, lazy bears eating berries(浆果) in the wild-berry lands. In the long winter evenings he talked to Mum about the Western countries. In the West the land was level, and there were no trees. The grass grew thick and high. There the wild animals ran as though they were in the grass and there were no settlers. Only Indians lived there.
Adapted from Little House on the Prairie

My favorite classic isThe Wonderful Wizard of Oz(《绿野仙踪》). It mainly describes the story of Dorothy in the land of Oz. A strong wind took her to Oz. She made three special friends there. They experienced many difficulties together but they never gave up halfway. Finally they succeeded in achieving their dreams. It teaches me to be brave and never give up in the face of difficulties. Ever since then， I have always tried my best to get over difficulties in my life.
