average (平均)
Go to a library 10.5
Go to a movie at a movie theatre 5.3
Attend a live sporting event 4.7
Attend a live music or theatrical event 3.8
Visit a national or historic park 3.7
Visit a museum 2.5
Visit a gambling casino 2.5
Go to an amusement or theme park 1.5
Visit a zoo 0.9

According to a recent study, visiting the library remains the most common cultural activity Americans go for, by far.
“U. S. adults 35 the average 10.5 trips to the library in 2019—more than their going for eight other common activities in their spare time .”
“ 36 attend live music or theatrical events and visit national or historic parks nearly four times a year on average. Trips to amusement or theme parks (1.5) and zoos (0.9) are the 37 common activities among this list on the right.”
The study also found that women are twice as often to go to a library as men do, and that libraries are visited 38 by adults in low-income families and least by adults in high-income ones.
Also, it’s mostly adults between the ages of 18 and 29 39 go to libraries. Perhaps this is because some are college students who depend on the library for resources and study 40 , but it could also be that many are becoming parents around this age and are looking for a way to get out of the house and entertain their child.
The discovery that libraries are still so popular shouldn’t come as a( n) 41 .
Libraries stand out for many other reasons, not least of all because they are 42 at a time when everything else seems to have growing entry cost.
Libraries are a very positive (积极的) force in our society, and the more we support them, the more 43 they’ll be—and the happier and smarter we’ll get, too. So, keep going to the library!
Now it makes sense 44 there are more public libraries than McDonald’s in the US.

四、阅读理解 阅读下面的短文，然后根据短文内容，在每小题所给的四个选项中选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。（本大题共13小题，每小题2分，共26分）
A
Please read the information about three common problems in students’ learning English and five Chinese idiom stories.
For questions 45-47, mark the correct letter ( A-E) on your answer sheet. There are two idiom stories that you don’t need.
45.“Although” and “but” shouldn’t be put together. But some students often add “but” to the sentence with “although”.
46. Some students may be lucky to get the right answers. But if they depend only on luck, failure may come.
47. Some students seem to be able to read a new English article in groups. But if they are required to do it alone, they can’t.
A.
The old emperor liked group music. A man knew this and joined the musical team. But the new emperor enjoyed the music played by every single musician. The man without any music ability was afraid and ran away.
B.
Several men were drawing snakes on the floor. One man was the first to finish a snake but he didn’t win because he added feet to his snake.
C.
A hard-working young man was so poor that he had to make a small hole in the wall to get light from next door at night. He read a lot of books and became an important officer for the emperor.

D.
One day, a rabbit knocked itself into a tree and fell dead. A farmer nearby enjoyed the rabbit for dinner and waited for more at the same place every day. However, no rabbits came and his fields went worse.

What is your fate? Who or what gets to decide it? Are you born with a certain fate? Do your parents decide your fate? Does your college major decide your fate? Perhaps the new Nezha film can help answer these questions.
This August saw something unexpected happen in the Chinese box office. Nezha, a Chinese animated film, has gone beyond all expectations. It beat all the other films and topped the Chinese box office. The film is now the second highest--grossing (票房收入最高的) movie in China--only behind Wolf Warrior 2. Its success has opened a path for China’s animation industry to do well.
Nezha is a popular character in Chinese myths. He is shown in the film as a fun-loving child. Unluckily, he is fated to die. Because everyone treats him differently, Nezha spends his time causing chaos. He enjoys playing tricks on others. However, upon learning his fate, Nezha refuses to give in. He chooses to fight a flash of lightning from the sky. By saving everyone, he becomes a great hero.
The success of Nezha has changed the fates of many, including the director, Jiaozi. Jiaozi was a medical student at first. If he had not worked tirelessly over the years learning animation, this success would not have been possible. Similarly, Chinese animation was once considered fated to disappear because of Japanese animation. Now, it has found new hope. So, who or what decides your fate?
48. The writer uses a few questions in the first paragraph to __________.
A. give the readers some advice B. ask the readers for answers
C. attract the readers’ attention D. make a survey among the readers
49. In the film, Nezha_________.
A. changes his fate himself B. is treated kindly by others
C. is born a great hero D. has to accept his fate
50. We can learn from the passage that ________.
A. Nezha is the most successful in the Chinese box office
B. Japanese animation is fated to disappear soon
C. Chinese animation was better than Japanese animation
D. Jiaozi devoted much time and effort to making Nezha

C
The evening arrived; the boys took their places. The master, in his cook’s uniform, stood at the table; his poor helpers were behind him; the gruel (稀粥) was served out; and after they spoke to God to give thanks, there was little time left to eat. The gruel disappeared in no time; the boys whispered to each other, and encouraged Oliver to ask for more. Oliver was very hungry and decided to take a risk. He rose from the table; and went to the master, plate and spoon in hand, said:
“Please, sir. I want some more. ”
①
The master was a fat, healthy man, but his face became very pale. He looked at the small boy in great surprise, and nearly fell but for the support to the table. The helpers were frozen with wonder; the boys with fear.
“ What!” said the master at last, in a weak voice.
“Please, sir,” replied Oliver, “I want some more. ”
The master hit Oliver’ s head with the ladle (长勺) and screamed for Mr. Bumble.
②
Some people were sitting in talking about something, when Mr. Bumble rushed into the room in great excitement, and spoke directly to the gentleman in the high chair, said:
“Mr. Limbkins, I beg your pardon, sir! Oliver Twist has asked for more!”
③
“For more!” said Mr. Limbkins after being silent for some seconds. “Calm yourself, Bumble, and answer me clearly. Do I understand that he asked for more, after he had eaten the supper which was offered?”
“He did, sir,” replied Bumble.
“That boy will be hanged,” said the gentleman in white. “I know that boy will be hanged.”
Nobody was against the gentleman’s idea. A heated discussion took place. Oliver was locked in a cold dark room and no boys were allowed to talk to him. The next morning a notice was put up on the outside of the gate, offering a reward of five pounds to anybody who would employ (雇佣) Oliver Twist. In other words, five pounds and Oliver Twist were offered to any man or woman who wanted an apprentice (学徒) to any trade or business.
④
“I never was more sure of anything in my life,” said the gentleman in white, as he knocked at the gate and read the notice the next morning. “I never was more sure of anything in my life — that boy will be hanged.”
Adapted from Oliver Twist by Dickens
51.Why were the characters in the passage angry about Oliver asking for more gruel?
A. Oliver challenged the traditional rules.
B. Oliver put the master to the trouble of cooking more.
C. Oliver impressed Limbkins with his not keeping a diet.
D. Oliver had bad relationships with the gentleman in white.
52. The sentences “There was a general start (突然一惊). Everyone’s face was full of horror.” can be put in .
A.① B.② C.③ D.④
53.What would probably happen to Oliver according to the last two paragraphs?
A. He would become one of the apprentices working for Bumble.
B. He would be sold to anyone who was willing to offer five pounds.
C. He would have to leave as soon as possible to avoid being hanged.
D. He would become an apprentice of someone who was willing to accept him.

D
People all over the world are now taking action to fight against COVID-19. But what they do may depend on their own culture and traditions.
On Feb 26, when an Italian lawmaker (议员) went into the country’s Lower Chamber with a mask to prevent the novel coronavirus, he was criticized (批评) by his workmates for “causing panic (恐慌)”. Articles from Western media carry headlines such as “No, you do not need face masks to prevent coronavirus.” You might be surprised, as in China and other Asian countries, people have willingly put masks on during the outbreak. 
Western thoughts about masks
In the West, people are taught to wear masks only when they get sick. Masks are seen as a tool to protect sick people and prevent the disease from spreading, so healthy people don’t need to wear them. Therefore, during the novel coronavirus outbreak, overseas Chinese students said that they would be “stared at like a virus spreader” if they go out with a mask. According to a survey done by Global Times among some European and American people, wearing a mask in public can make them feel “worried”, “shy”, and “afraid of being looked at differently.”
But as the number of COVID-19 cases continues to grow around the world, many people in the West are changing their attitudes (态度) . In the US, for example, the need for masks is very high now. The US surgeon general (卫生局局长) has been asking people to avoid hoarding (囤积) masks, as they are more needed in hospitals than by the general public.
Mask culture in the East
In Asian countries like China and Japan, there has been a long tradition of mask-wearing. In China, for example, when doctor Wu Liande invented the modern medical mask during the pneumonic plague (肺鼠疫) in 1910, the mask became a symbol of China’s position as a modern, scientific nation. The 2003 SARS epidemic again led to the wide use of masks as a form of anti-viral (抗病毒的) protection in China and elsewhere in East Asia. 
In Japan, wearing masks has long been seen as a manner to reassure (使安心) others when one catches a cold or flu. Some Japanese also turn masks into fashion accessories (配饰), with different colors and styles to match their clothes. Wearing masks is also a way to “hide” for young women when they don’t have their makeup (化妆) on. 
In more collectivist (集体主义的) cultures in Asia, wearing masks might also be a symbol of solidarity (团结) during the outbreak, according to Christos Lynteris. “Mask culture in Asia creates a sense of a fate (命运) shared, common obligation (责任) and civic (公民的) duty.” People wear masks “to show that they want to stick together” in the face of danger, Lynteris wrote. 
54. Why don’t healthy people in the West wear masks?
A. They don’t think masks can prevent disease.
B. They think masks are for sick people to wear.
C. Only medical workers need to wear masks.
D. Wearing a mask looks funny.
55. What isn’t the reason for Japanese wearing masks?
A. They wear masks to reassure others when catching a cold or flu.
B. Some Japanese wear masks as fashion accessories.
C. Some young women wear masks when they don’t make up.
D. They wear masks to make others feel worried.
56. What does Lynteris mean in the last paragraph? 
A. People have no sense of duty if they don’t wear masks.
B. Mask culture creates a sense of collective obligation.
C. Asian people are more united in the face of danger.
D. We are a community with a shared future for mankind.
57. The purpose of the story is to ____________.
A. explain why Westerners don’t wear masks
B. prove the importance of wearing masks during an epidemic(流行病)
C. show how opinions about masks differ between different countries
D. explain the history of masks
