Recently, American President Trump announced his budget. One of the budgets would cut all money to The Institute of Museum and Library services and libraries across the United States. However, as far as I’m concerned, we need to save our libraries.

Libraries provide books and after-school programs for children. They help inspire a life-time love of learning and reading in children of all ages. The knowledge of the books in libraries is not available to the children at school. Without them where will kids with no Internet at home do their homework? Where will kids have a place to study or borrow books after school? Therefore, we need libraries for our kids. We need them so kids can grow up with a place, other than school, where learning and exploration is encouraged. Reading books can benefit children’s minds. Books allow them to imagine.

For adults, libraries serve as a place where they can use the Internet to apply for jobs, get job training, early voting centers as well as book clubs to help make new friends. It can also serve as a place to pick up a book and learn something new. Meanwhile, they can also rent a book and get away from it all.

Libraries save our information for the next generation. When we live in an age of alternative facts, where science is ignored in favor of personal feelings, we need libraries now more than ever. We need them to educate ourselves on the facts. We need them to have strong civic participation.

If you assent to me, you shouldn’t be silent on this issue. You can write or call directly to tell the president to save our libraries. You can also write to both your state Senators (参议员) and your district representative. Let them know this is good issue because all people use public libraries in their daily life.

1.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage？

A.There is no need for children to learn in libraries.

B.Children can learn knowledge that can’t be taught at school in libraries.

C.Libraries can provide a quiet space for children to have a rest.

D.The reference book in the libraries can help children imagine a new world.

2.Unlike kids, besides reading, adults use libraries to _______.

A.do something about jobs and social activities

B.explore the world

C.have a good rest

D.earn some money

3.Which statement about libraries does the author agree with?

A.Science should be learned in our libraries.

B.Information can be stored in libraries forever

C.The government needs libraries more than before.

D.Libraries play a more important role nowadays.

4.What is the meaning of the underlined phrase “assent to”?

A.Fight against. B.Agree with.

C.Think about. D.Drop by.

5.Which is the best title for this passage?

A.Learn in our libraries B.The function of libraries

C.Save our libraries D.Grow up with our libraries

The Americans believe that anybody can become President of the United States. In a recent Hollywood comedy(喜剧), that is exactly what happens.

Dave Kovic, played by Kevin Kline, is a kind-hearted man who runs a business that finds people jobs. He leads a typical(典型的) American way of life, except for one thing－he looks exactly like the President, Bill Mitchell. In fact, the only thing that makes him different from the nation’s leader is that he is very nice!

The president has started using look-alikes during some public appearances. Dave is offered a chance to “serve his country” by becoming one. However, things go wrong. The President becomes very ill and Dave ends up acting as the President forever.

Director Ivan Reitman, who made the popular and successful comedies like Twins, Ghostbusters and Legal Eagles, could have gone for easy laughs by making fun of the American government. Instead, Dave is an attractive comedy about an ordinary man in extraordinary situations. Kevin Kline gives a double performance as Dave and the President, and Sigourney Weaver is at her best as his First Lady. The love story that develops between her role and Dave is a real classic(经典).

The film is 100% American. However, if you’ve ever felt that anybody could do a better job running the country than the people in power, then you’ll enjoy Dave!

1.What is the purpose of the text?

A. To tell the reader about the American government.

B. To discus the Americans’ ideas about the President.

“Belittle” was first used by Thomas Jefferson, the third president of the United States.

Many years ago, Buffon, a French naturalist, wrote some books about natural history. The books were a great success even though some critics did not like them. Some critics said, “Buffon is more of a poet than a scientist.”

Thomas Jefferson did not like what Buffon had said about the natural wonders of the New World. It seemed to Jefferson that Buffon had spoken of natural wonders in America as if they were unimportant.

This troubled Thomas Jefferson. He was a naturalist, as well as a farmer, inventor, historian, writer and politician. He had seen the natural wonders of Europe. To him, they were no more important than those of the New World.

In 1788, Thomas Jefferson wrote about his home state, Virginia. While writing, he thought of its natural beauty and then of the words of Buffon. At that moment, Jefferson created a new word－belittle. He said, “Buffon believes that nature belittles her productions on this side of the Atlantic.”

Noah Webster, the American word expert, liked this word. He put it in his English language dictionary in 1806, “Belittle－to make somebody or something small, unimportant.”

Americans had already accepted Jefferson’s word and started to use it. In 1797, the Independent Chronicle newspaper used the word to describe a politician the paper supported. “He is an honorable man,” the paper wrote, “so let the opposition try to belittle him as much as they please.

In 1872, a famous American word expert decided that the time had come to kill this word. He said, “‘Belittle’ has no chance of becoming English. And as more critical writers of America, like those of Britain, feel no need of it, the sooner it is forgotten, the better.” This expert failed to kill the word. Today, “belittle” is used where the English language is spoken.

1.What was the reason for Jefferson’s creating the new word?

A. He was a naturalist and writer.

B. Lots of critics disliked Button’s books.

C. He disagreed with Buffon’s views on natural wonders in America.

D. Lots of critics thought Buffon wasn’t a real naturalist.

2.What do we know about Buffon according to the text?

A. Some of his books were welcome by readers.

B. Some of his poems were known to Jefferson.

C. He made some wrong comments on Jefferson.

D. He made great contributions to the creation of “belittle”.

3.What does the underlined word “those” in the last paragraph refer to?

A. The English words.

B. The critical writers.

C. The word experts.

D. The English-speaking countries.

4.What may be the best title for the text?

A. The comment on the New World

B. The creation of Thomas Jefferson

C. The argument about the new word

D. The history of the word “belittle”
