For each of them there are four choices marked A，B，C and DChoose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.ADid you ever see the movie Home Alone？The lead character，a young boy，gets left behind while his parents go on vacation. Now，thats not too realistic，but plenty of kids are home alone after school until their parents get home.Are you home alone after school？No one knows how many kids are home after school without an adult，but they know the number is in the millions. Kids who regularly take care of themselves are sometimes called “latchkey kids”This nickname got its start in the 1940s，during World War .The men were away at war，so many women had to take jobs in factories to keep the country going. With both parents away，school kids went home to empty houses after school. A latchkey kid wore a house key around his or her neck and this key opened the front door or latch.Today，its common for both parents to work for kids to live with just one parent，so a new generation of kids is spending some time alone after school. A lot of schools now have afterschool programs，but some dont，and in some cases，families may not be able to afford the extra expense.Its a good idea to talk with your mom or dad about how you feel about being home alone，especially if you feel lonely or scared when youre home alone. They might be able to give you some ideas or solutions that will make you feel more at ease. Maybe you can go home with a friend once a week or a neighbor can start checking on you. Keeping busy with homework，chores，and play can make your “home alone” time go quickly.56The movie Home Alone mentioned in the opening paragraph_.Ashows the movie is very popularBtells us a young boy，a famous film starCserves as an introduction to the discussionDserves as an introduction to the lead character57The underlined phrase “Latchkey kids” in the second paragraph refers to those kids_.Awho were born in the 1940sBwho stay at home alone and help themselvesCwho has to stay after schoolDwho are looked after by others58Now more kids are left alone at home mainly because_.Amore and more parents go to workBthe kids would like to stay alone after schoolCsome schools refuse to set up afterschool programsDparents dont like their kids any longer59If you feel lonely at home you can do the following EXCEPT_.Ahaving a talk with your parentsBinviting your friends home sometimesCkeeping busy with your homeworkDstaying with your neighbor every day60What is the main subject discussed in the text？AThe reason why kids are called “latchkey kids”BMore and more parents go to work now.CMore children are home alone at present.DMore parents are cruel to their children.BYoung adult filmmakers all hope to show their works in international festivals like Sundance and Toronto. But what about really young filmmakers who arent in film school yet and arent，strictly speaking，even adults？They are at the heart of Wingspan Arts Kids Film Festival，tomorrow，in a setting any director might envy：Lincoln Centre. Complete with “red carpet” interviews and various awards，the festival has much in common with events for more experienced moviemakers，except for the age of the participants：about 8 to 18.“Whats really exciting is that its film for kids by kids，” said Cori Gardner，managing director of Wingspan Arts，a nonprofit organization offering youth arts programs in the New York area. This year the festival will include films not only from Wingspan but also from other city organizations and one from a middle school in Arlington，Virginia. “We want to make this a national event，” Ms. Gardner added.The nine shorts to be shown range from a Claymation biography of BBaking to a science fiction adventure set in the year 3005.“A lot of the material is really mature，” Ms. Gardner said，talking about films by the New York City branch of Global Action Project，a media arts and leadership training group. “The Choice is about the history of a family and Master Antismoker is about the dangers of secondhand smoke. Dream of the Invisibles describes young immigrants feelings of both belonging and not belonging in their adopted country.”The festival will end with an open reception at which other films will be shown. These include a music video and a full-length film whose title is Pressures.61Wingspan Arts Kids Film Festival_.Ais organized by a middle schoolBis as famous as the Toronto FestivalCshows films made by childrenDoffers awards to film school students62Which of the following is TRUE of Wingspan Arts？AIt helps young filmmakers to make money.BIt provides arts projects for young people.CIts a media arts and leadershiptraining group.DIts a national organization for young people.63The underlined word “shorts” in Paragraph 4 refers to“_”Ashort trousers Bshort kidsCshort films Dshort stories64Movies to be shown in the festival_.Acover different subjectsBfocus on kids lifeCare produced by Global Action ProjectDare directed by Ms. Gardner65At the end of this film festival，there will be_.Avarious awardsB“red carpet” interviewsCan open receptionDa concert at Lincoln CentreCOne of the bestknown American writers of childrens books is Alfred Strong，or Doctor Strong.

Since then，he has written forty-five books that have sold more than one hundred million copies around the world.Doctor Strongs books are known for their easy use of words and colorful，handdrawn pictures. These drawings bring life to his imaginary creatures，The Cat in the Hat，Horton the Elephant，The Grinch Who Stole Christmas，and hundreds of others.The San Diego Museum，in California，organized the art show. It included about three hundred of Doctor Strongs original drawings and some of his writings.Most of Doctor Strongs books，although written in a funny way，have serious messages.
