Ⅰ.完形填空
Annie, a
neighbor's daughter, was away for her first
semester at college this
school year.
She is a very sweet girl but just a bit shy. When
her birthday came
around, I found out
she was feeling a bit __1__.
Her
family
is
quite
poor
and
__2__
are
tight,
so
there
wouldn't
be
any
birthday
visitors. I wanted to __3__ her a card
and maybe a small gift to __4__ her day a
bit. I got her school __5__ from her
mom and planned to pick something up. Then I
got a(n) __6__
！
I
__7__
perhaps
a
bit
more
birthday
cheer
was
needed
here.
I
bought
some
balloons,
birthday
hats,
and
__8__ <
/p>
novelties(
新颖小巧而价廉的物品
)
at
a
store.
I
took
a
small
__9__ and asked three
other people in my area at work to
__10
__ “Happy Birthday”
and
send some birthday wishes to her. It was such fun
making the recording! Other
people
__11__
what
we
were
doing
and
__12__
their
voices,
so
it
really
sounded
like
we had a party going
on!
Then I bought her a small present
and a card as __13__ planned. The real fun
was
packing
them
to
be
sent.
I
__14__
everything
so
it
was
like
opening
a
mini
birthday
party! At the last minute I added a
pack of cupcakes and a box of birthday candles
__15__ sending them off. I got a call a
few days later. Annie said her roommates
and
one
of
their
neighbors
in
the
__16__
got
together
with
her
and
held
a
party
for
her the moment they arrived. She
sounded so __17__ and I was so glad that she had
some friends to __18__ her special day
with.
It was such an easy and __19__
thing to do. The people who helped me make the
tape
still
laugh
and
talk
about
it.
And
Annie
__20__
me
it
was
the
most
fun
birthday
she
would remember!

Ⅱ.阅读理解
A
It's such a happy?looking library,
painted yellow, decorated with palm?tree
stickers and sheltered from the Florida
sun by its own roof. About the size of a
microwave oven, it's
pedestrian?friendly, too, waiting for book lovers
next to a
sidewalk in Palm Beach
Country 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
Wisconsin?based
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
10th?grader,
didn't see the
point of
building a
library that
resembles
a
mailbox.
But
Janey
insisted,
and
husband
Peter
unwillingly
got
to
work.
The 51?year?old 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 stay?at?home 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
pay?off, says Peter, are the thank?you notes left
behind.
“We had no idea in the
beginning that it would be so popular.”
文章主要介绍了
Janey
Henriksen

“pedestrian?friendly”？

yellow roof.
B
．

C
．

book lovers from the sun.
D
．It uses palm?tree stickers
as decorations.
答案：
B
细节理解题。根据文章第一
段第二句可知这家图书馆是为了方便爱读书的行
人借书而建立的，因此
< br>B
项正确。

the

on

想法。
