Usually, thatmeant we were going to see someone important. I would at least get anew toy. I asked which one it would be that day, and she told me that Iwould get something 12 than a toy. She said I would get “access（通道）to a world of toys.” I had no real idea what she meant. Did thatmean we were buying a toy 13 ?But we did not end up at any toy store. Neither did we finally see anyone we knew.14 , mother pulled her car into a parking lot in front of a building that looked like something out of the past. It didn’t have a modern15 at all.We took stone steps up to the entrance. Only then I found out what this place was, because there was a sign that 16 “Marcy Public Library”. We pushed the door open, and my mother led me to the front desk. “I’d like to get my daughter a library card”, she told the man17 the desk. He asked her to fill out a form. “What kind of books do you like to read?” he asked. I was too shy to 18 . I only smiled. “Well, you’ll find it out in time,” he said. I do not remember 19 I picked out that day, but I know that in the years that followed I read through books on history, books of poetry, and books about art.

But then we remember we have tolook at the American College Test(ACT) exercises one more time. Half asleep, we run downstairs to get the ACT books, and start studying. After this we finally get to turn off the lights and drift away to sleep. And then six hours later, we do it all over again.In my health class, my teacher told us that teenagers need at least eight to nine hours of sleep each night. The sad truth is, with so much to do every day, high school students cannot keep to this sleep schedule(安排).Let me ask you all a question: Doesn’t it seem more humane(人道的) to give a teenager perhaps two hours of homework each night? This would allow us to have the eight to nine hours of much needed sleep. Or does it seem better to pile students with five hours of work a night? It leaves us very little time to relax, therefore reducing the time that we can sleep.In my opinion, the present structure(结构) of the junior year of high school doesn’t work well. Junior year of high school is a time for growth. By this time many students have the ability to think creatively, and solve challenging problems. Homework is important for a student’s growth. But do we really need to spend countless hours a night doing it? Too much homework can only lead to too little sleep and too low an ability. I do think it is time to change the structure, so that we sleep at home and learn at school.23. In the first paragraph the writer gives _____.A. a picture of the present daily life of high school studentsB. an example of an ideal daily life of high school studentsC. a reason for high school students to live a busy daily school lifeD. a suggestion of what high school students should do to pass ACT24. From the last paragraph we know that the writer thinks _____.A. junior year of high school is the most important growth periodB. challenging problems are needed for a teenager’s growthC. the ability to think has nothing to do with homeworkD. the present structure leads to students often sleeping in class25. Why does the writer write this article?A. To prove the role of enough sleep in teenagers’ growth.B. To complain about the problems in the system of the ACT.C. To ask for a change for less homework and more sleep.D. To discuss the relationship between sleep and homework.CAfter a while attention to Tom ended, and the usual school murmur(嗡嗡读书声) rose upon the boring air once more. Now the boy began to steal secret glances(偷看) at the girl. She noticed it, made a face at him and gave him the back of her head for the space of a minute. When she slowly faced around again, an apple lay before her. She pushed it away. Tom gently put it back. She pushed it away again, but with less animosity(敌意). Tom patiently returned it to its place. Then she let it remain. Tom wrote on his paper, “Please take it. I got more.” The girl glanced at the words, but made no sign.Now the boy began to draw something on the paper, hiding his work with his left hand. For a time the girl refused to notice, but her human curiosity soon began to show itself by hardly noticeable(明显的) signs. The boy worked on, seemingly not aware. The girl made some non-committal(含糊的) efforts to see, but the boy did not display that he was aware of it. At last she couldn’t bear it and whispered:“Let me see it.”Tom partly uncovered the picture of a house with some smoke rising from the chimney(烟囱). Then the girl’s interest began to fasten itself upon the work and she forgot everything else. When it was finished, she gazed a moment, then whispered:“It’s nice! Draw a man.”The artist created a man in the front yard. She was satisfied, and whispered:“It’s a beautiful man---now draw me in it.”Tom drew an hour-glass(沙漏) as the body, a full moon as her head and some arms added to it. The girl said:“It’s ever so nice. I wish I could draw. No one has ever taught me that.”“It’s easy,” whispered Tom,“I'll teach you.”“Oh, will you? When?”“At noon. Do you go home for dinner?”“I’ll stay if you will.”“Good, that’s a deal. What’s your name?”26. What probably happened in the classroom before this passage?A. The girl introduced herself to the boy.B.

Eaten by the boy because the girl didn’t accept it.B. Eaten by the boy because it was the last one he had got.C. Eaten by the girl because they finally became friends.D. Eaten by the girl because the boy was drawing all the time.28. What in this passage made Tom succeed in making friends with the girl?A. Using her curiosity.B. Showing off his drawing ability.C. Teaching her how to draw.D. Inviting her to dinner.DFrom Asia to America and everywhere in between, Swing---an energeticform of dance that includes six-step and eight-step rhythms(节奏)---hastaken the world by storm. Making a recent comeback, swing dance floorshave popped up all over the world. Many clubs make fans of Swing happy byholding nights when swing music is played, and sometimes even offeringclasses to attract customers.Though Swing is now popular worldwide, it first appeared alongside the jazz movements of the 1920s and 1930s in New York City. While listening to jazz, the young black people of that time developed the movements of the Lindy Hop---a style of dance that is best known for a break away or “swing out” move and sudden improvisation(即兴表演).It was reportedly given this name when a reporter was interviewing a person at the dance hall who was watching other couples dance. When asked what that dance was called, the watcher looked at a newspaper next to him that had an article about Lindbergh---the first person to fly alone across the Atlantic(大西洋)---which was titled, “Lindy Hops the Atlantic”. Then the watcherannounced that the “Lindy Hop” was the name of the dance, and it has stuc k since then.In 1926, the Savoy Ballroom was the first large business to offer a place for people to listen to swing music and dance. With its huge dance floor, the Savoy became a big success overnight, attracting some of the best dancers and musicians in the New York area.Within ten years, the Lindy Hops was sweeping through the United States and became a symbol of unity, as young people of all racial(种族的) backgrounds crowded into dance halls to swing the night away. Traditional dance teachers did not welcome it because they thought it was not even a real dance and were quite sure about its demise but Swing has proved them wrong; it continues to be one of the world’s most fun dances.29.
