One of New York's most beautiful and valuable buildings is in danger. The New York Public Library, in the heart of the city at 42nd Street and 5th Avenue, may have to close its doors.
The library is a very special place. Even though it is in the busiest part of the city, it has grass and trees around it, and benches for people to sit on. Even more unusual in the crowded New York, its rooms are very large. The roof of the main reading room is fifty－one feet high. Here, a reader can sit and think and work in comfort.
And what books there are to work with. The library has over thirty million books and paintings. It owns one of the first copies of a Shakespeare play, a Bible printed by Gutenberg in the 15th century, and a letter written by Columbus in which he tells the finding of the new world.
Every New Yorker can see and use the library's riches free.
But the cost of running the library has risen rapidly in recent years, and the library does not have enough money to continue its work. In the past, it was open every evening and also on Saturdays and Sundays. Now it is closed at those times, to save money.

查看习题详情和答案>>Long, long ago, when the world was new and the animals could talk, clams were the most talkative of all. And no wonder, for their mouths stretched（伸长）the full length of their bodies. The clams not only loved to talk, they told stories as well. Some of the stories were true and some were not.
It wasn’t long before all the animals were quarreling with each other, and all due to the stories that the clams were spreading. Raven finally got so tired of all the gossiping（闲言）that he called a council meeting and invited all the animals. Bear, Eagle, Wolf, and many others came. It was decided at that meeting that, in order to preserve the peace, a way must be found to put a stop to these unkind stories.
“Beaver,” said Raven, “we cannot decide how to punish the clams. You are a good worker. We know that you will keep working until you discover a solution, so we have chosen you to rid us of this problem.”
Beaver thought and thought, and at last she thought of a plan. She gathered up armloads of the clams—every last one of them—and carried them to the edge of the water.
“What are you doing?” they asked in alarm.
“You shall see soon enough,” replied Beaver. “Never again will you spread your mean-spirited tales.”
Beaver waited there until the tide went out and then, quickly, she buried each and every one of those clams in the sand. The clams were outraged（激怒）! When Bear came down to walk along the beach, one of the clams opened its mouth to tattle（饶舌）on Beaver. But as soon as it did, sand and water ran in. The clam spit out the water. Again it opened its mouth, but as soon as it did, the sand and water ran into it, and all the poor clam could do was spit out the water and close its mouth. Even today, if you walk along the beach at low tide, you might see a little water shooting from beneath the sand here and there. That is just a clam spitting out the water it swallowed.
1．Which question does paragraph 2 answer?
A．Where was the council meeting held?
B．What did the wolf say at the meeting?
C．Why were all the animals quarreling?
D．How long did the animals’ meeting last?
2．What happened at the meeting?
A．The clams got embarrassed
B．A decision was made to solve the problem.
C．The animals were quarreling fiercely.
D．Unkind stories spread among the animals.
3．Which information from the story supports the idea that the clams thought they were being treated unfairly?
A．One of the clams said something unkind about the beaver.
B．The clams talked with everyone who visited the beach.
C．One of the clams spit out the water.
D．The clams’ mouths stretched the full length of their bodies.
4．The beaver in this story is shown as the _______.
A．group leader B．complainer C．problem solver D．troublemaker
5．What is the most likely reason that the author wrote this story?
A．To encourage readers to listen to each other.
B．To explain why animals are mean to each other.
C．To tell readers how to take care of a problem.
D．To teach a lesson about the harm of gossiping.
