【题目】阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C或D)中,选出最佳选项。
B
Legend has it that President George Washington never told a lie. Still, he was not perfect. A library in New York has a document to prove it. According to a written record of the library, Washington checked out two books on October 5, 1789, and never brought the m back.
More than 220 years have gone by since Washington borrowed the books, and a lot has changed since then. Back in 1789, there was no Washington, D. C. The U.S. capital was New York City, and that was where the President lived. There was only one place in the city to borrow books, the New York Society Library. It was there that Washington checked out the two books that were never returned. Washington had been President for just five months when he borrowed the books. One book was about international relations, and the other focused on lawmaking, which helped with his new job.
The librarian wrote down the titles, the dates and the name of the borrower. Washington was listed simply as “President”.
Under the rules of the library, the books should have been handed back by 2 November that same year, and their borrower would have been faced with fines of a few cents a day ever since. Over time, Washington's fine grew and grew. Today, the library is owed about 200,000 dollars for the two missing books. “We're not actively concerned about the overdue fines,” the head librarian Mark Bartlett said. “But we would be very happy if we were able to get the books back.”
As for Washington's reason for failing to return the books he borrowed, we may never have an answer. Perhaps he was too busy and just forgot about them. Maybe they were lost. Even though he were alive today, Washington might prefer to keep the truth a mystery. After all, it was he who famously said, “It is better to offer no excuse than a bad one.”
(1)According to the passage, the president________.
A.failed to return the books on time
B.enjoyed reading in the library
C.had ever lived near the library
D.told a lie to the librarian
(2)We can infer from the passage that________.
A.the New York Society Library was built in 1789
B.Washington maybe borrowed the two books to help with his job
C.the books can be kept one month after being borrowed from the library
D.the librarian was so careless as not to record the borrower's full name
(3)Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.Two centuries ago, the U.S. had no libraries but one.
B.President George Washington hardly made a mistake.
C.The two books were borrowed in the name of Washington.
D.If he lived today, Washington would have to pay much to the library.
(4)The head librarian Mark Bartlett________.
A.is puzzled how to find the books again
B.hopes to get the missing books with the fines
C.is regretful to lend Washington the books at that time
D.prefers to find the two books rather than get the fines
(5)What can we know from the last paragraph?
A.Washington had a quite bad memory.
B.Washington was a humorous person.
C.Washington would keep silent about the reason even if he lived.
D.Washington believed people should avoid making bad excuses.

【题目】阅读理解
Most of us lead unhealthy lives;we spend far too much sitting down. If, in addition, we are careless about our diets, our bodies soon become loose and fatty and our systems slowmoving. There are some aspects(方面)of our unhealthy lives that we cannot avoid. I am thinking of such features of modern city life as pollution, noise, rushed meals and stress. But keeping fit is a way to reduce the effects of these evils. The usual suggestion to a person who is looking for a way to keep fit is to take up some sport or other. While it is true that every weekend you will find people playing football and hockey in the local park, they are outnumbered a hundred to one by the people who are simply watching them.
For those who do not particularly enjoy competitive sports—and it is especially difficult to do so if you are not good at them—there are such separate activities as cycling, walking, jogging and swimming. What often happens though is that you do them in such a leisurely way, so slowly, that it is doubtful if you are doing yourself much good, except for the fact that you have at least managed to get up out of your armchair.
Even after you have found a way for keeping in shape, through sports or gymnastics, you are still only halfway to good health, because, according to the experts, you must also master the art of complete mental and physical relaxation(放松). It has to do with deep breathing, emptying your mind of all thoughts, meditation, and so on. Yoga, as practised in the West, is the most widely known and popular of the systems for achieving the necessary state of relaxation. It seems ironical(讽刺性的), though, that as our lives have improved in a material sense we have found it increasingly necessary to go back to forms of activity—physical effort on the one hand and relaxation on the other—which were the natural way of life of our forefathers.
(1)Pollution, noise and stress are examples of _________.
A.causes of unfitness
B.bad features of living in the city
C.the things we can completely do away with
D.unavoidable things in the city
(2)We don't get much out of separate sports because we __________.
A.don't do them very often
B.don't do them actively enough
C.find it hard to get out of our armchairs
D.don't find them interesting
(3)To be healthy, we must__________ .
A.keep fit and active
B.keep fit and learn to relax
C.be active and practise Yoga
D.have a sound mind
(4)Our forefathers were healthy because__________ .
A.their way of life closely connected with both exercise and relaxation
B.they were careful to get plenty of fresh air
C.they spent most of the time out of doors
D.their environment was not polluted
