A
I attended a writer’s group to get feedback on my book. But there were so many people there that the discussion was limited. After getting home, my 13-year-old son asked me to read one chapter to him. So I read the chapter about spending my pocket money as a nine-year-old child.
The story took place at a lunch counter, where I dreamed of ordering a banana split. Colorful balloons were hung above the counter and a sign said “Pop a balloon and pay 1 cent to 63 cents for a banana split!” As I was given only 50 cents for cleaning the doghouse, I didn’t dare to ask my parents for any more pocket money without doing more work or risk asking anyone else. So I kept my wish to myself.
Frankie listened carefully, as I read the final sentences of the chapter, “I watched as others selected a balloon to pop and dreamed about the opportunity to take my chance. But it never happened.”
The next morning, Frankie led me to the kitchen. I couldn’t believe my eyes. The table was covered in a pile of balloons. Frankie handed me 50 cents and a fork. “Pop one!” he urged. With tears in my eyes, I broke one. A piece of paper fell out of the balloon.
What does it say?” Frankie asked. “Fifty cents,” I whispered, too moved to speak loudly. Frankie asked, “Well, do you have 50 cents?” I handed him the money. “OK!” Then Frankie pulled out a banana split from the refrigerator.
I hugged Frankie hard. We took turns popping the other balloons until I finally got the 1-cent balloon. It was a long-time coming, but worth the wait.
It hit me that the first step in making any wish come true is giving it a voice.
1、The author read the chapter to Frankie because .
A．she wanted to get feedback from Frankie
B．Frankie asked the author to read it to him
C．she was used to telling a bedtime story to him
D．Frankie had a strong desire for knowledge
2、What can we infer about the author from the second paragraph?
A．She spent money wisely when she was a kid.
B．She had enough money to do whatever she liked.
C．She earned her pocket money by doing housework.
D．She had no close friends to share her secret wish.
3、Seeing what Frankie did for her, the author felt .
A．comfortable and happy B．puzzled and excited
C．awkward and satisfied D．surprised and grateful
4、The author learned that .
A．it is important to express one’s wishes
B．it is comforting to have a kid around
C．experiences in childhood affect us later in life
D．wishes can come true by just voicing them

B
Beneath the water in the China's Qiandao Lake lies a hidden treasure. The ancient city of Shi Cheng (also known as Lion City), located in the province of Zhejiang,has been submerged underwater for 53 years. Shi Cheng was founded about 1,300 years ago in a valley surrounded by the Five Lion Mountains. When the Chinese government decided they needed a new hydroelectric power station (水力发电站 )， a dam and man-made lake were constructed and the city was left at the bottom of this new body of water. Now, it sits at depths ranging from 85 feet to about 103 feet.
Much like the Machu Picchu ruins in Peru, this underwater city remained forgotten until some renewed interests lead to its rediscovery. Qiu Feng, a local official in charge of tourism thought about utilizing Shi Cheng for entertainment on the lake and as a destination for diving clubs. On September 18, 2001, scuba divers made their first attempt underwater. "We were lucky. As soon as we dived into the lake, we found the outside wall of the town and even picked up a brick, "Qiu told Guangzhou Daily in an interview. More research was conducted, and it was discovered that the entire town was intact (t 881), including wooden beams and stairs. After the initial findings, international archaeologists and a film crew then recorded the preservation of the lost ruins.
Looking at surface of the lake, dotted with over 1,000 islands, you'd never know that an entire city was below.It's incredible to think that after all this time, the structure still remains intact and we could one day visit it. Until then, Shi Cheng will continue to remain inconspicuously submerged
1、Why was Shi Cheng covered by water according to the passage?
A．Because the city has a long history.
B．Because the government could attract more tourists by doing so.
C．Because the government needed to build a power station where it was.
D．The mountains surrounding the city led to the consequence.
2、What does the underlined word"initial"mean in paragraph 2?
A．Original B．Great
C．Wonderful D．Amazing
3、What is the most unbelievable part of Shi Cheng according to the passage?
A．It has something to do with Machu Picchu ruins in Peru.
B．No one was interested in the lost city for a long time.
C．Its structure keeps perfect in the water for a long time.
D．There are over 1,000 islands protecting the lost city.
4、Who will most probably come to visit the lost city?
A．Someone who likes swimming.
B．Someone who likes diving.
C．Someone who likes climbing mountains.
D．Someone who likes taking pictures.
