Whenever in our small-town 1with my mom, I would run my fingers through my favourite candy on the shelf.Once I noticed a man pushing buttons on the ATM machine. He seemed to be hurriedly waiting for his cash to appear. He quickly got a pile of bills and headed out. Curiously I walked over and saw a beautiful $100 bill at the bottom of the machine.2I wanted to believe my magic made the cash appear. I knew the man must have left it behind.I held the money in my hand, looking at the number 100 and feeling 3than I ever had. I thought about putting the money into my pocket.

Some people can have as many as two or three different newspapers. But why do people read newspapers?Five hundred years ago, news of important happenings, such as battles lost and won, kings or rulers(统治者) overthrown(推翻) or killed, took months and even years to travel from one country to another. The news passed by words of mouth. Today we can read in our newspapers of important things that happen in faraway countries at the same time.Besides giving news from all over the world, newspapers tell us a lot of other useful information. There are weather reports, as well as radio, television and film guides. There are also book reviews, stories, and of course, advertisements(广告). There are all kinds of advertisements. They pay the newspapers thousands of dollars for the advertising space (广告版面), but it is worth the money because news of what they make in factories goes into almost every home in the country. For those who make newspapers, advertisements are also very important. Money from advertisements makes it possible for them to sell their newspapers at a low price and still make a profit(利润).（1）What does the passage mainly talk about? A . Almost all the people all over the world read newspapers.B . Why do people read newspapers?C . Newspapers can make a good profit.D . How did the newspapers come about?（2）What does the word it refer to? A . The newspapers.B . The newspapers space.C . The advertisements.D . The money.（3）Newspapers were created to _ many years ago. A . make a profitB . spread informationC . overthrow the rulersD . won the battles（4）About the use of newspapers, which one is not mentioned in the passage? A . Weather reports.B . Tell us about some films.C . Tell us some stories.D . Help us find people.18. （8分）阅读理解 Youre chatting with friends on the phone, but you cant help looking through shopping websites in the meantime. Youre having lunch alone in the dining hall, but it only feels right when you start playing a show on your phone-as if its a necessary side dish.Were now living in a world that is filled with information. It seems unnatural to do only one thing at a time. Its as if were all suffering from a recent article called multitasking OCD(多任务强迫症).With news reduced to 140 characters and communication increasingly by emojis(表情符号), we have developed the ability to focus our attention on several activities and devices(电子设备)at once, Sabry otmani, founder of Pulpix website, once wrote. We need something exciting to keep us interested and to fight off boredom.But perhaps fighting of boredom is not the only reason.My own obsession with multitasking mainly comes from the fact that everyone around me seems to study all the time. Each minute Im not taking in something new feels like a waste of time. So I always have my headphones on, whether Im commuting, exercising or walking in the park. Im forever listening to somethinga course on classical music, management, and heaven knows what else-just so I can keep up with the world.People who cant stay away from social media are known by FOMO(fear of missing out): They have to be updated about what their friends are doing and saying. But Id guess that FOFO better describes me fear of falling out.No matter what reason youre doing it for, multitasking is already a part of the modem lifestyle. Just make sure you make the most out of it.（1）The writer mentions side dish in Paragraph 1 to . A . show why people live a busy lifeB . show that people today often feel lostC . describe what multitasking OCD is likeD . say people like to compare with each other（2）According to Sabry Otmani, people today like multitasking because . A . it can help them to communicate betterB . it can help them out of being boredC . they hope to finish more things at a timeD . they are excited about multitasking（3）The underlined word obsession may mean . A . interestB . doubtC . talentD . surprise（4）It can be learned from the passage that the writer . A . wants to stay ahead of her friendsB . thinks it is boring to do one thing at a timeC . doesnt want to get left behind by othersD . wants to have something to be different from others19. （10分）根据材料内容，选择正确答案。Birthday: February 26, 1982Birthplace: Wuhan, HubeiHeight: 172cmWeight: 65kgMy dream has come true.
