    (2013·高考湖南卷，C)It’s such a happy­looking library，painted yellow，decorated with palm­tree stickers and sheltered from the Florida sun by its own roof.About the size of a microwave oven，it’s pedestrian­friendly，too，waiting for book lovers next to a sidewalk in Palm Beach County Estates，along the northern boundary of Palm Beach Gardens.
    It’s a library built with love.
    A year ago，shortly after Janey Henriksen saw a Brian Williams report about the Little Free Library organization，a Wisconsin­based nonprofit that aims to promote literacy and build a sense of community in a neighborhood by making books freely available，she announced to her family of four，“That’s what we’re going to do for our spring break！”
    Son Austin，now a 10th­grader，didn’t see the point of building a library that resembles a mailbox.But Janey insisted，and husband Peter unwillingly got to work.The 51­year­old owner of a ship supply company modified a small wooden house that he’d built years earlier for daughter Abbie’s toy horses，and made a door of glass.
    After adding the library’s final touches (装点)，the family hung a signboard on the front，instructing users to“take a book，return a book，”and making the Henriksen library，now one of several hundred like it nationwide and among more than 2,500 in the world，the only Little Free Library in Palm Beach County.
    They stocked it with 20 or so books they’d already read，a mix of science fiction，reference titles，novels and kids’ favorites.“I told them，keep in mind that you might not see it again，”said Janey，a stay­at­home mom.
    Since then，the collection keeps replenishing (补充) itself，thanks to ongoing donations from borrowers.The library now gets an average of five visits a day.
    The project’s best payoff，says Peter，are the thank­you notes left behind.“We had no idea in the beginning that it would be so popular.”
    小题1:In what way is the library “pedestrian­friendly”？
    A．It owns a yellow roof.
    B．It stands near a sidewalk.
    C．It protects book lovers from the sun.
    D．It uses palm­tree stickers as decorations.
    小题2:Janey got the idea to build a library from________.
    A．a visit to Brian Williams
    B．a spring break with her family
    C．a book sent by one of her neighbors
    D．a report on a Wisconsin­based organization
    小题3:The library was built________.
    A．by a ship supply company
    B．on the basis of toy horses
    C．like a mailbox
    D．with glass
    小题4:What can we infer about the signboard?
    A．It was made by a user of the library.
    B．It marked a final touch to the library.
    C．It aimed at making the library last long.
    D．It indicated the library was a family property.
    小题5:The passage tells us that the users________.
    A．donate books to the library
    B．get paid to collect books for the library
    C．receive thank­you notes for using the library
    D．visit the library over 5 times on average daily

    小题1:B
    小题2:D
    小题3:C
    小题4:C
    小题5:A
    本文是一篇说明文。文章为我们介绍了一个充满爱心、给读者带来便利的特殊图书馆。本文虽然是一篇说明文，但并不枯燥，如讲故事般娓娓道来。
    小题1:解析：选B。细节理解题。该类题目出题者往往不将问题直接与文章中的事实对号入座，而是提出似是而非，或与问题完全无关的事实让考生去判断。对于这类题目，考生不要根据自己读文章的最初印象马上选出答案，而要从原文中找到问题的出处。根据第一段最后一句“...it’s pedestrian­friendly，too，waiting for book lovers next to a sidewalk...”可知图书馆位于人行道附近，为爱书人提供便利，故B项正确。
    小题2:解析：选D。细节理解题。根据第三段首句“A year ago，shortly after Janey Henriksen saw a Brian Williams report about the...”可知Janey是受到一个报道的启发才有建图书馆的想法的，故D项正确。
    小题3:解析：选C。细节理解题。根据第四段第一句“Son Austin，now a 10th­grader，didn’t see the point of building a library that resembles a mailbox.”可知该图书馆看起来像个邮箱，故C项正确。
    小题4:解析：选C。细节理解题。根据第五段第一句“...the family hung a signboard on the front，instructing users to‘take a book，return a book，’and making...”可知，在前面挂上一个布告板是为了告知使用者“拿走一本，返还一本”，以避免图书丢失，从而使图书馆长久存在，故C项正确。布告板是the family制作并悬挂的，而不是使用者，故A项错误；B项“这标志着对图书馆的最后装点”与原文中的“After adding the library’s final touches...”相矛盾；挂布告板的目的是提醒使用者而非表明这是家庭的私有财产，故排除D项。
    小题5:解析：选A。推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Since then，the collection keeps replenishing(补充)itself，thanks to ongoing donations from borrowers.The library now gets an average of five visits a day.”可知，借用人捐赠了很多书，故A项正确。文中未提及使用者为图书馆收集书会有报酬，排除B项；C项中的receive应改为give；D项说“使用者平均每天去图书馆超过五次”，与原文“图书馆每天平均会有五次拜访”不相符。

    Coin confusion
    Rachel looked through troubled eyes at her sister and said, "I wouldn't have thought Eric would be a thief." Her sister Sarah replied, "Whoa, that's a      accusation to make against your best friend!"
    Rachel remembered two days ago when she had brought out her coin collection for Eric to     . At the end of that day, Rachel's mother asked her to do her a favor, so she asked her friend," Is it okay if I leave you for a few minutes?" Eric said, "Go ahead. I’ll clean up here,"      at the piles of coins on the floor.
    When Rachel returned, it never occurred to her to     her coins until two days later that she realized some quarters were      .
    Sarah said, "Why don't you just ask him?"
    "Ask him what? Hey, best friend, did you       my coin collection?" Rachel thought for a moment,        if that would be a good idea. The theft of her collection left her with a feeling of        "How could I have misjudged my friend's       ?"
    The next day Rachel went to Eric's house. Eric was acting funny sort of nervous, like he couldn't be       . In fact, Rachel thought Eric acted like someone with a secret. Anger blossomed as Rachel watched Eric pretend to be kind,      Eric had obviously stolen from her. Rachel finally could not stand it anymore and stood up. Suddenly, Eric     ,"I can't stand it anymore!" Rachel was astonished at hearing her own      burst forth from her friend! Instead of sounding     , Eric sounded excited. He pulled something from underneath the chair.
    "Go to open it! I was going to wait until your birthday, but I can't wait." Slowly, Rachel lifted the top of the     . Laid out in front of her were all of the quarters from her coin collection. Each quarter was in its own      in a new collection case. Each quarter shone like it was new.
    Rachel felt      rush over her neck and ears. She said     , "Thank you! This means... a great deal to me." She was grateful that Eric had cut her      before she said something she would     . Eric was exactly the type of person she wanted as a friend!

    Today，we are told，children don’t spend enough time in the fresh air．Many of them are addicted to a screen either on a computer or a TV—they seem to be living in a virtual world．They have lost touch with nature．
    But now 400 organizations in the UK，from playgroups to the National Health Service，are encouraging children to have some“wild time”．They want kids to swap at least 30 minutes of watching TV or playing computer games for time playing outside．Activities such as building dens, climbing trees, rummaging for conkers and playing hide and seek are just some of the things kids can do. Even if they live in a city，they can go on adventures in the garden or the park．
    Children often need a helping hand from mum and dad．They need to be shown what to do and where to go．Andy Simpson from National Health Service says，“We want parents to see what this magical wonder product does for their kids’ development，independence and creativity，by giving wild time a go”．
    So despite the complicated world that young people grow up in now，it seems that going back to basics and experiencing“nature’s playground”is what modern children need．David Bond from Project Wild Thing says，“We need to make more space for wild time in children’s daily routine，freeing this generation of kids to have the sort of experiences that many of us took for granted”．
    This might sound a bit old fashioned to you or maybe，like me，it’s made you think about sticking on your boots，getting outdoors and reliving your childhood．There’s no age limit on enjoying yourself!

    A．Wild time for childrenB．Benefits of wild time

    The Great Barn Adventure
    One morning when I was 11, I explored the town’s abandoned round grain barn（谷仓）. I found a chained sliding door that was wide enough for me to pass through.
    Inside, there was a heavy smell of dead mice in the dark. After my eyes adjusted, I noticed a shaft (升降机井) that rose all the way to the top of the barn. On one side was a one-man elevator with a long rope and roller.
    I stepped onto the platform and gave the rope a drag and the elevator began sliding up the shaft, but stopped halfway. After a brief panic attack, I noticed holes in the wall at regular intervals, forming a ladder. For reasons known only to an 11-year-old, I decided it would be better to go up than down. So, with shaking hands, I began climbing the wall.
    After what seemed like forever, I reached the top of the shaft. I stood up, dusted myself off and found absolutely nothing of interest. It was just an empty room with a ladder leading up to the roof. I climbed all the way up here for this? Then I noticed a fire extinguisher（灭火器）,which I’d always wanted to shoot off. So this was the chance of a lifetime. I tried it, and, much to my surprise, the thing worked! It shot out a thick cloud of powder that instantly filled the room. I couldn’t breathe. I was going to choke to death, and they’d probably never even find my body.
    Luckily, I remembered the ladder to the roof. I climbed up, popped the straw roof and saw a bright blue sky.
    I suddenly realized the dust and powder pouring out of the top could draw attention. So when the dust had settled, I climbed down and slipped out of the chained door. I’m not sure if I was more excited about being alive or about not being caught, but I ran all the way back home.
    小题1:When the author got inside the barn, he _______.
    A．noticed a man on the elevator
    B．opened the chained sliding door
    C．saw many dead mice in the dark
    D．found a shaft leading to the top
    小题2:Which of the following is the right order of the author’s adventure?
    a. The elevator stopped halfway.
    b. He entered the round grain barn.
    c. He climbed to the top of the shaft.
    d. He found a fire extinguisher and shot it off.
    A．b-a-c-dB．a-c-b-dC．c-a-d-bD．b-c-a-d
    小题3:After getting out of the chained door, the author might feel _______.
    A．inspiredB．relievedC．surprisedD．disappointed
    小题4:From the passage, we can learn that the author was probably a boy full of _______.
    A．passionsB．dreams C．curiosity D．imagination

    Part-time jobs for 15 and 16 years olds
    Waiter / Waitress
    A job as a waiter or waitress is a good choice for 16-year-olds. Not only can one earn $9-$12 an hour, but they can also get the tips (小费). Most people that visit a restaurant don’t just have good food. They come here to relax and have a good time. Besides serving food quickly, a young waiter who talks to them politely with a smile on his face will make the diners enjoy their time at the restaurant.
    Work in a library
    If one is fond of books, working in a library is another suitable choice. Besides the pay is good, it offers a lot of free time when students can actually sit down and finish their homework. So on returning home, they would have time to hang around with friends or just relax. So working in a library is an excellent part-time job for teens, especially for school students.
    Internet jobs
    There are many ways of making money through online jobs like clicking on advertisements, visiting sites and signing up with them. However, such online jobs don’t pay well. A better Internet job for teens is to complete online surveys. These are quite simple surveys that usually ask one about his/ her opinions and ideas. Many companies use these ideas to make products designed for teenagers.
    小题1:What does the writer think of the job as a waiter/waitress?
    A．It needs a period of training.
    B．It pays much more than other jobs.
    C．It can improve one’s leadership skills.
    D．Making diners comfortable is part of the job.
    小题2:A student who is busy with his research paper will probably choose to work ______.
    A．in a restaurantB．in a libraryC．on the InternetD．in an IT company
    小题3:The writer wrote this text to ______.
    A．tell us the importance of doing part-time jobs
    B．advise teenagers how to choose a part-time job
    C．teach young people how to make lots of money
    D．introduce his/her experience of doing part-time jobs
    小题4:Why do some companies ask the teens to do surveys?
    A．The teens have more free time.
    B．They can pay less to the teens.
    C．They need advice to make products for teens.
    D．The teens usually express their true opinions.

    People think what I do is so wonderful because I interview stars. And I have to admit that when I first started working at Sassy in 1987 I was excited about that part of my job for the first couple of months，anyway. Then I noticed how stars would fool me around for months. I could never get enough time with a star to find out anything interesting, and some acted just simply rudely. I started hating the way I was treated, and I was really disappointed to see that these people I had worshipped (崇拜）before were pretty ordinary. So I decided I would just tell the truth instead of keeping up their myths(神秘）.If the star was a bad guy, I would say so. If I thought anyone was stupid, I did not hold back that information.
    I thought readers would appreciate that kind of honesty. Surprisingly, many of them hated me for it. I have gotten so many attacks on my character. In their eyes，being famous is everything, even more desirable than being truly creative and talented
    Why do we need stars? In fact, the media created stars to satisfy our basic need for gossip (闲话）.Over time, talking about people we have never met and we are never likely to meet has become what we are crazy about. Thus, some people are more interested in the personal lives of the stars than in the lives of their own family and their own friends. That is why it is so ridiculous when a star wants to discuss only his or her work in an interview -as we care. We want the dirt on their personal lives.
    There is another reason we worship stars. As a whole, our society is not as religious as it once was. It seems that people need something to fulfill them the way religion once did. Star worship exists as an unfulfilling desire for true heroes.
    We make them stars, but then their reputation makes us feel unimportant, and we truly feel better about ourselves when they die. I am part of this whole process. No wonder I feel soiled at the end of workday.
    小题1:What are the stars like according to the author?
    A． They always treat others rudely.
    B． They always talk about something dull.
    C． They are acutually ordinary people.
    D． They are usually honest and polite,
    小题2:We worship stars because ______.
    A,  we need true mental heroes to support us
    B.  we can learn something useful from famous stars
    C.  we concern about the stars ，family and friends
    D.  we like talking about the stars ，dressing styles
    小题3:When the author is writing this article ，his tone sounds  ______.
    A,  excited B. angry    C. worried  D. calm
    小题4:What is the main purpose of the author writing the passage?
    A． To show the disadvantages of working with stars.
    B． To remind us not to worship famous stars blindly.
    C． To laugh at the failures of stars he has interviewed.
    D． To talk about the reasons why we worship stars.
