D.Manycountrieshavestoppedusingpennies.

解析：

文章的主旨大意是什么？

这是文章主旨大意题，需要通读全文。

文章主要讲了一美分的硬币还有没有存在的必要。

一部分人认为应该保留一美分硬币，并给出应该保留的原因。

但是有些专家持反对意见。

所以应该选择C（在是否应该停止使用美国一分硬币这件事上有不同的意见）。

2.ThemissionofACCisto______.

A.conductonlinesurveys

B.lowertheproductioncostsofthepenny

C.raisemoneyforcharities

D.keepthepennyinuse

解析：

ACC的任务是什么？

通过ACC这个专有名词，定位到第三段，第三段提到“Thegroup'smissionistokeepthepennyinuse”，任务就是让美分继续使用。

答案选择D。

3.Thepennycoinismainlymadeof_____.

A.copperB.steel

C.ironD.zinc

解析：

美分硬币主要是由什么组成的？

文章最后一段“Penniesare97.5%zincand2.5%copper”可知，美分硬币97.5%是由锌组成的，2.5%是由铜组成的。

所以美分硬币主要是由锌组成。

答案选择D。

4.Whatdoesthesentence"thepenny'sdaysmaybenumbered"inthelastparagraphprobablymean?

　A.Thepennymaybeoutofuseverysoon.

　B.Thevalueofthepennymayrise.

　C.ThepennyhasaspecialplaceinAmericanhistory.

　D.ThepennyispartofAmericanculture.

解析：

最后一段"thepenny'sdaysmaybenumbered"这个句子大概是什么意思？

这句话的句面意思是说美分的日子屈指可数。

意思是美分可能很快会被淘汰，不再使用。

答案选择A。

5.Accordingtothepassage,whichofthefollowingstatementsisNOTTRUE?

A.JardenisthesolesupplierofthezinctheU.S.Mintusestomakethepenny.

B.ThemajorityofAmericanpeopleareinfavorofkeepingthepenny.

　C.ManyAmericansfearthatgettingridofthepennywouldcausepricestorise.

　D.TheU.S.Mintnowspends2.4centstomakeapenny.

 解析：

根据这篇文章，下面哪个陈述是不正确的？

选项A根据第一段“Since1982,ithasbeentheonlysupplierofpennyblanksfortheU.S.Mint”，可知，Jarden确实是唯一的供应商。

所以选项A正确。

第三段倒数第二句“67%ofAmericanswanttokeepthepenny”提到调查显示67%的美国人想要保留美分。

所以选项B正确。

第三段最后一句话，Manypeoplesurveyedsaidtheyfearedtheywouldenduppayingmoreforproducts提到很多美国人想保留美分的原因是因为害怕美分淘汰之后，他们买东西的时候需要付更多的钱，也就是引起物价上涨。

和选项C内容相符。

文章第二段“Itnowcosts2￠toproducea1￠coin.”，这里是说一枚美分硬币的成本是2美分。

但是D选项说一枚美分硬币的价格是2.4美分。

和文章不符。

因此选择D。
