IX. Reading Comprehension (阅读理解)：(共50分)
A. Choose the best answer (根据文章内容，选择最恰当的答案)：(12分)
A nationwide survey released earlier this year said an average
Chinese adult read less than eight books in 2015, among which 4.58
were paper books and 3.26 e-books. With digital books becoming
more popular, many people would find it hard to remember the last
time they sat down in a bookstore and enjoyed a quiet moment.
But this does not mean that bookstores are losing their
customers. To lure more readers, bookstores are now bigger, more
beautiful and grander. Here are some of them.
Zhongshuge
Walking into a Zhongshuge bookstore is like entering a sea of books, above the ceiling overhead, beneath the floor under your feet, on the walls, and under the steps of the staircases. Zhongshuge is known for its beautiful designs. The brand now has chains in Shanghai, Hangzhou, and Yangzhou.
The Bookworm
The Bookworm is bookshop, bar and café all in one. Hidden in downtown Beijing’s Sanlitun bar area, the place is among the most popular for foreigners looking for some international experience in the Chinese capital.
In addition to a large variety of books, the European-style shop also holds lectures and cultural events. It’s often possible for visitors to meet famous authors unexpectedly in the comfortable place. Paradise Time Travel Bookstore
Tibet(西藏) is a must-visit on many people’s travel lists. You can find the beauty of the ancient Tibetan style. Paradise Time Travel Bookstore is decorated in this way. But if you look closely, you will find it is a foreign language bookshop. This kind of mixture is a great surprise, isn’t it?
The Paradise Time Travel Bookstore is located near the Princess Wencheng Theater in Lhasa(拉萨).
Poplar Kid’s Republic
The Poplar Kid’s Republic, sitting in Beijing’s CBD area, is a fairyland of picture books for children.
The bookshop was selected among one of the most beautiful bookshops in the world by Flavorwire, a popular US news website about art and culture, in 2012.
The colorful designs inside are aimed at encouraging kids to explore books. Pushing the glass doors open, you will see children’s drawings and craftworks(工艺) hanging on the pink walls, leading you into a world full of imagination.
69.According to the survey, an average Chinese adult read less than ______ books in 2015.
A. 3.26
B. 4.5

A. Chinese adults don’t read enough books on average.
B. We can meet some famous book writers in the Bookworm.

Emily was an eighth grader. To pass her Civics course, she had to do some volunteer services in a nursing home for a week.
One Monday, Emily went to the nursing home after school. When she arrived, she was told she would spent an hour every weekday with an elderly lady, Mrs. Blair. She was then led into a room, where an old lady in a flowery dress was sitting on a sofa.
Emily stood awkwardly（别扭地）in front of the lady. She cleared her throat and said, “Good afternoon. I’m Emily.”
“Good afternoon, Emily. Take a seat, please.” Mrs. Blair replied.
Then, 75 filled the space between them. Emily wondered what to say.
“Tell me about yourself, Emily,” Mrs. Blair said suddenly.
“Well,” Emily started, “I don’t have any grandparents, so I don’t know how to get on well with elderly people. I love the performing arts. I’m here mainly because I have to volunteer here to get a good grade for my Civics class.”
Mrs. Blair didn’t seem to mind. “Many people, especially teens, don’t seem to 76 old people like me. Now you are here, and I’m going to change that about you. Ask me anything.”
Emily thought for a moment, and finally decided, “What was your job?”
“I was a Broadway star in the 1950s.” Mrs. Blair answered.
“Cool! Can you tell me about it!” Emily asked, amazed.
Mrs. Blair smiled. “Back then, 77 the lead actress had the honor to wear a special bracelet. I was the lead in almost all of the plays, so I always wore the bracelet. Till this day, I still have it.”
Emily smiled along with Mrs. Blair and listened to the other stories, attentively. She had become very 78 Mrs. Blair’s stories. She decided to come earlier the next day.
Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday passed by quickly. Then came Friday. As she was leaving, Emily was really upset to say goodbye.
“Don’t be sad. You can still visit me,” Mrs. Blair comforted her. She then handed a small box to Emily, “It’s my gift to you.”
Emily 79 opened the box and was surprised to see what was inside. “It’s the bracelet that you wore. Thank you!” Emily said, with tears in her eyes. “I’m sure to visit you whenever I’m free.”
On the way home, Emily thought of her own love for the performing arts. She touched the bracelet and 80 that she would keep her word to Mrs. Blair.
75. A. happiness B. friendship C. silence D. humour
76. A. care for B. agree with C. depend on D. worry about

C. Fill in the blanks with proper words (在短文的空格内填入适当的词，使其内容通顺，每空格限填一词，首字母已给) (14 分)
Something changed a few years ago. Around 2012, teens
started to spend their time much differently from the
generations before. I started to notice big differences in
teens’ b 81 and attitudes in the yearly survey of 11
million young people.
A 2017 survey found that two out of three U.S. teens
owned an iphone. For this reason, Icall them iGen（iphone
generation）.
What makes iGen different?
Growing up with a smart phone has affected nearly every aspect of their lives. They spend so much time on the internet, texting friends and on social media, an average of about six hours per day, so they have less free time for everything else. That i 82 going to parties, shopping at the mall or watching movies with their friends. These were o 83 the favorite activities of most teens. But now iGen teens are taking part in these social activities at a lower rate than others.
A link that should be noticed
I wondered if these changes might be c 84 to their deteriorating（退化）mental health. Sure enough, I found that teens who spend more time on screens are less happy and more disappointed. Meanwhile, a 2017 study asked some adults to give up Facebook for a week and others to continue using it. Those who gave up Facebook felt happier, less l 86 and less disappointed during the week as they had more free time for social activities like meeting friends, watching movies, etc.
What else is lost?
Spending less time with friends means less time to develop social abilities. A 2016 study showed that the sixth graders who spent just five days at a camp w 86 using screens ended time better at reading expression on others’ faces.
That isn’t to say that iGen teens don’t have a 87 . They are physically safer and more tolerant（宽容）. They also seem to have a stronger work spirit and more realistic expectations. To my surprise, the iGen teens I interviewed said they preferred seeing their friends in person to communicating with them using their phones.
But it might be just what iGen needs.

Here.is the story of two men, Smith and Steve. They 'came from different countries and looked different, but they shared the same language and the same career.
In the 1960s, Smith became a member of The Beatles, a very successful pop song group. He had a special talent for writing songs and singing them. Steve, unluckily, was born blind, but that didn't stop him from 1earning the piano at the age of seven. Like Smith, he was another successful song writer, but there was one difference between the two men, their skin colours. Unlike Smith, who was white, Steve was black.
In 1982, both men worked together on a song. Smith wrote the song himself, and both men performed it together. It was very popular. .
Nowadays, because of the Internet, we can still hear and see them on the screen. In the video, Steve wears a white jacket, while Smith wears a black one All of these make the same point: the two colours can live together, just like a piano.

A mobile game named Travel Frog has become popular among young Chinese. It is a Japanese game about raising a pet frog and supplying him with equipment for travels. In the game, the frog leads a free and relaxing life - it often travels without planning. He carries luggage as he travels, takes photos of scenic spots such as hot springs and brings back local delicious food like strawberries and milk. He may travel for a few hours or for up to four days. Players never know when he'll set out again. All the players can do is to patiently wait for him to come back home or wait to hear from- him t:hrough postcards. By playing Travel Frog, users are able to travel all over the-world through the postcards and souvenirs from their frogs. According to a survey, nearly 3. 35 million Chinese had Travel Frog on their phones between January 10 and January 22. It was downloaded 402,000times in China on January 2 alone. However, Travel Frog is only available in Japanese at present. So some Chinese players have volunteered to translate it into Chinese. They also share tips online, such as how to get photos of the frog with other animals.
