me a storybook by my bedside.I was extremely inspired by the wonderful way the words sounded.I always wanted to know what my mom was reading.Hearing mom say,“I cant believe whats printed in the newspaper this morning,”made me want to grab it out of her hands and read it myself.I wanted to be like my mom and know all of the things she knew.So I carried around a book,and each night,just to be like her,I would pretend to be reading.This is how everyone learned to read.We would start off with sentences,then paragraphs,and then stories.It seemed an unending journey,but even as a six-year-old girl I realized that knowing how to read could open many doors.When mom said,“The C-A-N-D-Y is hidden on the top shelf,”I knew where the candy was.My progress in reading raised my curiosity,and I wanted to know everything.I often found myself telling my mom to drive more slowly,so that I could read all of the road signs we passed.Most of my reading through primary,middle and high school was factual reading.I read for knowledge,and to make As on my tests.Sometimes,I would read a novel that was assigned,but I didnt enjoy this type of reading.I liked facts,things that are concrete.I thought anything abstract left too much room for argument.Now that Im growing and the world I once knew as being so simple is becoming more complex,I find myself needing a way to escape.By opening a novel,I can leave behind my burdens and enter into a wonderful and mysterious world where I am now a new character.In these worlds I can become anyone.I dont have to write down what happened or what technique the author was using when he or she wrote this.I just read to relax.Were taught to read because its necessary for much of human understanding.Reading is an important part of my life.Reading satisfies my desire to keep learning.And Ive found that the possibilities that lie within books are limitless.4.Why did the author want to grab the newspaper out of moms hands？A.She wanted mom to read the news to her.B.She couldnt wait to tear the newspaper apart.C.She couldnt help but stopmom from reading.D.She was eager to know what had happened.5.According to Paragraph 3,the authors reading of road signs

passage？A The Pleasure of Reading B.Growing Up with Reading C.The Magic of Reading D.Reading Makes a Full Man C My friend and I went traveling inTasmania,Australialast December.We settled in our Airbnb accommodation,a cozy apartment,not long after we arrived inHobart,the capital city.After briefing us on the kitchens facilities and the whereabouts of the bedroom and bathroom,our hostess Geraldine resumed her ironing work,which seemed to have been interrupted by our arrival.She was ironing what looked like security guard uniforms,and we soon found out that she worked in a local prison.And when she detected the curiosity in our tones,she offered a tour at the prison in her SUV.My friend and I exchanged a“this is incredible”look and said“yes”immediately.As we drove,she told us about the buildings that we were passing,the local market and how to get to MONA,Tasmanias well-known contemporary art gallery.And of course we got to hear some background information about the prison.According to our hostess,it currently holds Martin Bryant,a notorious criminal who cheated 35 people out of their property.We could see the high level of security from the layers upon layers of wires surrounding the gray structure inside.Getting to know a city in such a local way is something I would never be able to do by talking to a hotel receptionist,and this is what I like best about the apartment-sharing experience,not to mention the fact that its usually cheaper than hotel rooms.But Im fully aware of the risks of Airbnb,which is why I did my homework before booking onlineI checked the reviews of the accommodation to avoid possible safety problems.That said,it is the mutual trust between a host and a guest that fascinates methe interesting feeling of building a bond with a total stranger.8.Why did the hostess drive us to the prison?A.She planned to send the uniform to the prison.B.She found our curiosity about the prison.C.She wanted to show off her SUV.D.She needed to offer a tour for us.9.Which of the following can best explain the word“notorious”in Paragraph 5?A.Unfamiliar to everyone.B.Particularly disappointing.C.Well known for being bad.D.Extremely generous to others.10.Compared with hotels,what is the writers favorite of the Airbnb accommodation?A.It is cheaper in most cases.B.It supplies a better living condition.C.It offers a much safer accommodation.D.It provides a chance to know local culture.11.What does the author think of finding accommodation on Airbnb?A.Disapproving.B.Supportive.C.Neutral.D.Doubtful.D The idea came to him when he least expected it.Alvin Irby was at a barbershop when he saw one of his former students sitting in the shop with a bored look on his face.Thats when Irby realized that by pairing barbershops and books,he might be able to inspire young boys to read.Alvin Irby,a former kindergarten and first-grade teacher,knows how important it is for young children to read.He also knows that young boys in particular often dont have adult male role models who inspire them to read.“Many young boys may literally never see a man reading in school during the years when theyre learning to read because there are so few male elementary school teachers,”Irby toldMashable.Thats where the barbershops come in.Four years ago,Irby launched Barbershop Books as a way to not just get books into the hands of young boys,but also to create community reading spaces in a place where kids go frequently.Since itsinceptionin 2013,the program has created kid-friendly reading spaces in 50 barbershops in 12 states throughout the United States.Irby isnt the first person to see the connection between barbershops and books and boys.Hair stylist Courtney Holmes,launched a program a few years ago offering free haircuts to kids as long as they read to him while he cuts their hair.Thats the kind of environment that Irby wants to promote with his program.The reading spaces created by Barbershop Books help to spark an interest in books by showing kids that reading is about more than just spelling and vocabulary skills,its about making reading a low-stress activity that can help them relax,laugh and have fun.“Our belief is that if we can create positive reading experiences early and often for young boys,then they will choose to read for fun,”Irby noted,adding,“This is really what Barbershop Books is about,getting young boys to say three words:Im a reader.”12.What happened to Alvin when he was at a barbershop?A.He found it easy for young people to get bored.B.He offered a barbershop to his former student.C.He thought of a way to encourage young readers.D.He realized the importance of reading for young boys.13.What is the function of Barbershop Books?A.To attract more customers who love films.B.To provide free haircuts to book lovers.C.To show the influence of reading on children.D.To create a reading environment fbr children.14.It can be inferred from the passage that _.A.reading is a low-stress activity that is relaxing B.Barbershop Books is only suitable for young boys C.Irby attaches great importance to school education D.Barbershop Books can arouse(引起)young peoples interest in reading 15.What does the underlined word“inception”in the 3rdparagraph mean?A.discovery.B.success.C.popularity.D.beginning.第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项
