【题目】阅读理解
We once had a poster competition in our fifth grade art class.
“You could win prizes,' our teacher told us as she wrote the poster information on the blackboard. She passed out sheets of construction paper while continuing, “The first prize is ten dollars. You just have to make sure that the words on the blackboard appear somewhere on your poster.”
We studied the board critically. Some of us looked with one eye and held up certain colors against the blackboard, rocking the sheets to the right or left while we conjured up our designs. Others twisted their hair around their fingers or chewed their erasers while deep in thought. We had plans for that ten-dollar grand prize, each and every one of us. I'm going to spend mine on candies, one hopeful would announce, while another practiced looking serious, wise and rich.
Everyone in the class made a poster. Some of us used parts of those fancy paper napkins, while others used nothing but colored construction paper. Some of us used big designs, and some of us preferred to gather our art tidily down in one corner of our poster and let the space draw the viewer's attention to it. Some of us would wander past the good students' desks and then return to our own projects with a growing sense of hopelessness. It was yet another grown-up trick of the sort they seemed especially fond of, making all of us believe we had a fair chance, and then always — always — rewarding the same old winners.
I believe I drew a sailboat, but I can't say that with any certainty. I made it. I admired it. I determined it to be the very best of all of the posters I had seen, and then I turned it in.
Minutes passed.
No one came along to give me the grand prize, and then someone distracted me, and I probably never would have thought about that poster again.
I was still sitting at my desk, thinking, What poster? when the teacher gave me an envelope with a ten-dollar bill in it and everyone in the class applauded for me.
（1）What was the teacher's requirement for the poster?
A.It must appear in time.
B.It must be done in class.
C.It must be done on a construction sheet.
D.It must include the words on the blackboard.
（2）The underlined phrase in paragraph 3 most probably means ________.
A.formed an idea for
B.made an outline for
C.made some space for
D.chose some colors for
（3）After seeing the good students' designs, some students ________.
A.loved their own designs more
B.thought they had a fair chance
C.put their own designs in a corner
D.thought they would not win the prize
（4）We can infer from the passage that the author ________.
A.enjoyed grown-up tricks very much
B.loved poster competitions very much
C.felt surprised to win the competition
D.became wise and rich after the competition

As we know, when senior students finish their school, most of their reference books are thrown away, which are still in good condition. How a great waste it is!
I suggest that students must recycle all these books. On the one hand, recycling them can save a lot of natural resource, which are used to make textbooks. On the other hand, the notes in the books are helpful to whoever need them.
In fact, recycling textbooks has been increasing popular in such countries like America and Australia. We should learn from them, but make every effort to build energy-saving society. In my opinion, it is of much benefit from our present and our future.

The house was sold for a rather high price because of the good location of the neighborhood. My husband and I looked into the house at that time and were upset by the scene: black mold (霉菌) growing on the walls; cigarette ends all over the floor; the wall between the garage and the living room completely destroyed by water damage. We couldn't spend more than one second in the house before running away.

We thought that it would be a teardown, but the new owners set about cleaning the inside. They worked for months making it safe and livable. After everything was clean and tidy, the owners decided to resell the house for a higher price.

Yesterday while I was out in my yard, a potential (潜在的) buyer pulled up and asked me what I could tell her about the history of the house. I just said that I didn't know anything.

What is my ethical obligation (道德义务) in this situation? It's possible that they have removed all the awful smells, dangerous mold and that the house is safe and livable. But it's also possible that they have just structurally fixed the house and that some unsafe mold will take root in the future. I wouldn't personally live there knowing what I know. But really, it's none of my business, and given the choice, I wouldn't talk to anyone about what I know. While it feels like a lie not to answer a direct question, I also feel that it's not my place to potentially ruin the seller's business deal. If I am asked again, what should I say?

【1】What can be learned about the author's neighborhood?

A. It's nice. B. It's noisy.

C. It's wealthy. D. It's crowded.

【2】Why did the new owners give the house a thorough cleaning?

A. To move into it.

B. To please the neighbors.

C. To get it ready for resale.

D. To make it match the surrounding area.

【3】How did the author feel after saying she knew nothing about the house's history?

A. Sad. B. Troubled. C. Relaxed. D. Proud.

【4】Why does the author write the text?

A. To offer help. B. To ask for advice.

C. To make a complaint. D. To give an explanation.
