For years, I’ve been fighting against what feels natural to me because I felt pressure
to it. When I used to get dressed to go out I would put on a T-shirt and sneakers and feel great, but when I would walk into a bar and every girl around me was in heels and a mini dress, I often felt like the odd girl out. Anytime I was “dressed down” I would be told that I’d look better if I had makeup on, or was asked, “Is that really what you’re wearing?” So I learned to qualify it. “Oh, I didn’t bring anything nicer with me.” "Sorry I’m not really dressed. I came straight from work." The truth is that I feel comfortable in jeans and I don’t like to change before I go out. There's nothing wrong with that. Then why did I feel like there was? Part of it has to do with clothing options marketed to women and girls. What was available “for just us girls”? Usually it’s pink, frilly, or feminine. But I never felt those things were made for me or appealed to me. I decided to stop letting it get to me. In the past when I would get dressed for a date, I would try on multiple outfits. The first was what I wanted to wear on my date. The second was what my friends would tell me to wear. As I stood in front of the mirror, I would feel the frustration well up. I never want a guy that would want me in heels all the time. So I’d take off the dress that I had on — the one I thought I should wear — and put on what I was actually most comfortable wearing. And you know what? As soon as I did, I realized how great I looked. Girls who look unapologetically themselves are the best type of girls.

(1)What message does the author mainly convey?

A. Girls should wear like girls in a bar or a party.

B. Jeans and sweaters will be the new fashion for girls.

C. Girls in any type of clothes with confidence are the best.

D. Wearing pink and frilly clothes is odd and out of fashion.

(2)How did the author feel when she walked into a bar dressed down?

A. She felt herself quite different from other girls in the bar.

B. She felt at ease when other girls commented on her dress style.

C. She felt proud for not wearing high-heels like other girls.

D. She felt there was always discrimination around in the bar.

(3)What did the author use to do for a date?

A. She used to put on what she liked quickly.

B. She used to buy some girls’ dress to put on.

C. She used to try on multiple outfits.

D. She used to dress what others suggest her dressing.

(4)The followings are what the author qualifies for her casual dressing style. EXCEPT .

A. I didn’t bring anything nicer with me.

B. I came straight from work.

C. Sorry, I’m not really dressed.

D. I prefer jeans and sneakers.

(5)Which of the following adjectives can best describe the author’s attitude towards clothes options marketed for girls?

A. Ironic.

B. Uninterested.

C. Approving.

D. Objective.

The fridge is considered necessary.It has been so since the 1960s when packaged food l
ist appeared with the label: "Store in the refrigerator."

In my fridgeless Fifties childhood, 1 was fed well and healthy.The milkman came every day, the grocer, the butcher (肉商), the baker, and the ice-cream man delivered two or three times each week.The Sunday meat would last until Wednesday and surplus(剩余的) bread and milk became all kinds of cakes.Nothing was wasted, and we were never troubled by rotten food.Thirty years on food deliveries have ceased, fresh vegetables are almost unobtainable in the country.

The invention of the fridge contributed comparatively little to the art of food preservation.Many well-tried techniques already existed -- natural cooling, drying, smoking, salting, sugaring, bottling...

What refrigeration did promote was marketing --- marketing hardware and electricity, marketing soft drinks, marketing dead bodies of animals around the world in search of a good price.

Consequently, most of the world's fridges are to be found, not in the tropics where they might prove useful, but in the rich countries with mild temperatures where they are climatically almost unnecessary.Every winter, millions of fridges hum away continuously, and at vast expense, busily maintaining an artificially-cooled space inside an artificially-heated house -- while outside, nature provides the desired temperature free of charge.

The fridge's effect upon the environment has been evident, while its contribution to human happiness has been not important.

1.The statement "In my fridgeless fifties childhood, I was fed well and healthily." suggests that the author was well-fed and healthy even without a fridge in his fifties.()

2.The author says that nothing was wasted before the invention of fridges because people had effective ways to preserve food.()

3.Consumers benefited the most from fridges according to the author?()

4.What refrigeration did promote was food-preserving.()

5.The author is critical to fridges.()

My wife and I moved into our home nine years ago. We have a yard and a "rock garden&q
uot;. Therethe rocks appear to be just thrown up onto the dirt as if someone were in a hurry, to finish. Very oftenwhen we have more flowers, Denise or I would plant them between the rocks,just to add some colorto the area.

Last summer I found, in the rock garden, a tiny little plant that I could not immediatelyrecognize. I knew I didn&39; t plant it and Denise said she didn&39; t either. We decided to let it continuegrowing until we could find out what it was.

Weeks passed and as I made my way back to the strange plant, it appeared to&39;be a sunflower. Itlooked thin and tall with only one head on it. I decided to baby it along and weed(除草) around it.As I pulled rocks from the area to get to the weeds, I noticed something unusual. The sunflower hadnot started where I saw it begin. It actually had begun under a big rock and grown under and around it to reach the sun.

If a tiny little sunflower didn&39; t let a big rock stand in its way of developing, we too have theability to do the same thing. If we believe in ourselves like that little sunflower, we can reach wherewe aim to go and get what we need for growth.

We need to believe in ourselves knowing we have the ability to achieve our goals. Like thesunflower, it knew it had the ability to get over the rocks because it had faith in itself that it wouldsucceed. Stand tall like the sunflower and be proud of who and what we are,then other things will beginto support us. We will find a way to go under or around any "rocks" in order to realize our goals.

Why did the family plant flowers in the "rock garden"?

A.To attract visitors.

B.To remove the rocks.

C.To please their neighbors.

D.To make the area colorful.

The author let the tiny plant continue growingA.to see how long it could live

B.to see how big it could grow

C.to find out what it actually was

D.to know if his wife had planted it

Why did the author think the sunflower was unusual?A.It was very thin and tall.

B.It had only one head on it.

C.It grew on top of a big rock.

D.It began to grow under a rock.

What does the author want to say through the story?A.Rocks cannot prevent us from success.

When I was a kid I didn’t know what I wanted to be when I grew up, but I knew what I didn’
t want to do. I didn’t even really know what one was. My elder brother is deaf. Growing up, I ended up defending him and I often think that is what started me on my path to whatever I am today.

When I was approached with the idea of trying to create a landmine(地雷) campaign, we were just three people in a small office in Washington, DC in late I had more than a few ideas about how to begin a campaign, but what if nobody cared? What if nobody responded? But I knew the only way to answer those questions was to accept the challenge.

But if I have any power as an individual, it&39;s because I work with other individuals around the world. We are ordinary people--Jemma from Armenia, Paul from Canada, Christian from Norway and thousands more-who have worked together to bring about extraordinary change. The landmine campaign is not just about landmines--it&39;s about the power of individuals to work with governments in a different way.

I believe in both my right and my responsibility to work to create a world that doesn&39;t think highly of violence and war, but where we seek different solutions to our common problems. I know that holding such beliefs is not always easy or comfortable--particularly in the post-9/ 11 world. But I believe that life is about trying to do the right thing.

Most people tend to get caught up in going to college, then getting a job, buying a house and paying the loan. Somehow, I’ve had the desire--and the drive--to do things a bit differently. If enough ordinary people back up our desire for a better world, I believe we can accomplish extraordinary things.

21.When the author was a child, she __________.

A.had many great dreams

B.wanted to do something for peace

C.didn’t know she would work for landmine campaign

D.had decided what she would do when growing up

Why did the author create a landmine campaign?A.Because she was encouraged by her colleagues

B.Because she got inspiration from protecting her brother

C.Because it was her duty to remove landmines

D.Because she was interested in whatever others disliked

What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A.The author had made many foreign friends

B.The landmine campaign had spread all over the world

C.Many individuals join the landmine campaign to create a better world

D.The author’s friends joined her in fighting against the government

What can be inferred from the text?A.The present world is full of violence and war

B.Going to a famous university is the author’s belief

C.Most people take war and violence for granted

D.Settling problems peacefully is the author’s belief

Like most people, I was brought up to look upon life as a process of getting. It was not u
ntil in my late thirties that I made this important discovery: giving away makes life so much more exciting. You need not worry if you lack money. This is how I experimented with giving away. If an idea for improving the window display of a neighborhood store flashes to me, I step in and make the suggestion to the storekeeper. One discovery I made about giving away is that it is almost impossible to give away anything in this world without getting something back, though the return often comes in an unexpected form. One Sunday morning the local post office delivered an important special delivery letter to my home, though it was addressed to me at my office. I wrote the postmaster a note of appreciation. More than a year later I needed a post office box for a new business I was starting. I was told at the window that there were no boxes left, and that my name would have to go on a long waiting list. As I was about to leave, the postmaster appeared in the doorway. He had overheard our conversation. " Wasn't it you that wrote us that letter a year ago about delivering a special delivery to your home? " I said yes. "Well, you certainly are going to have a box in this post office if we have to make one for you. You don't know what a letter like that means to us. We usually get nothing but complaints.

From the passage, we understand that______.

A.the author did not understand the importance of giving until he was in late thirties

B.the author was like most people who were mostly receivers rather than givers

C.the author received the same education as most people during his childhood

D.the author liked most people as they looked upon life as a process of getting

The freezing Northeast hasn’t been a terribly fun place to spend time this winter, so
when the chance came for a weekend to Sarasota, Florida, my bags were packed before you could say “sunshine”. I left for the land of warmth and vitamin C(维生素C), thinking of beaches and orange trees. When we touched down to blue skies and warm air, I sent up a small prayer of gratefulness. Swimming pools, wine tasting, and pink sunsets (at normal evening hours, not 4 in the afternoon) filled the weekend, but the best part- particularly to my taste, dulled by months of cold weather root vegetables was a 7 a.m. adventure to the Sarasota farmers’ market that proved to be more than worth the early wake-up call.

The market, which was founded in 1979, sets up its tents every Saturday from 7:00 am to 1 p.m. rain or shine, along North Lemon and State streets. Baskets of perfect red strawberries, the red-painted sides of the Java Dawg coffee truck; and most of all, the tomatoes: amazing, large, soft and round red tomatoes.

Disappointed by many a broken, vine-ripened(蔓上成熟的) promise, I’ve refused to buy winter tomatoes for years. No matter how attractive they look in the store, once I get them home they’re unfailingly dry, hard, and tasteless. But I homed in, with uncertainty, on one particular table at the Brown’s Grove Farm’s stand, full of fresh and soft tomatoes the size of my fist. These were the real deal and at that moment, I realized that the best part of Sarasota in winter was going to be eating things that back home in New York I wouldn’t be experiencing again for months.

Delighted as I was by the tomatoes in sight, my happiness deepened when I learned that Brown’s Grove Farm is one of the suppliers for Jack Dusty, a newly opened restaurant at the Sarasota Ritz Carlton, where luckily for me I was planning to have dinner that very night. Without even seeing the menu, I knew I’d be ordering every tomato on it.

(1)、What did the author think of her winter life in New York? ()

A、Exciting.

B、Boring.

C、Relaxing.

D、Annoying.

(2)、What made the author’s getting up early worthwhile? ()

A、Having a swim.

B、Breathing in fresh air.

C、Walking in the morning sun.

D、Visiting a local farmer’s market.

(3)、What can we learn about tomatoes sold in New York in winter? ()

A、They are soft.

B、They look nice.

C、They taste great.

D、They are juicy.

(4)、What was the author going to that evening? ()

A、Go to a farm.

B、Check into a hotel.

C、Eat in a restaurant.

D、Buy fresh vegetable

(5)、In the first paragraph, the word “adventure” means ______. ()

A、risk.

B、effort.

C、achievement.

D、access.

Thomas Hardy's impulses as a writer, all of which indulged in his novels, were numerous an
d divergent, and they did not always work together in harmony. Hardy was to some degree interested in exploring his characters' psychologies, though impelled less by curiosity than by sympathy. Occasionally he felt the impulse to comedy (in all its detached coldness) as well as the impulse to farce, but he was more often inclined to see tragedy and record it. He was also inclined to literary realism in the several senses of that phrase; He wanted to describe ordinary human beings. He wanted to speculate on their dilemmas rationally (and, unfortunately even schematically); and he wanted to record precisely the material universe. Finally, he wanted to be more than a realist. He wanted to transcend what he considered to be the banality of solely recording things exactly and to express as well his awareness of the occult and the strange.

In his novels these various impulses were sacrificed to each other inevitably and often inevitably, because Hardy did not care in the way that novelists such as Flaubert or James learned, and therefore took paths of least resistance. Thus one impulse often surrendered to a fresher one and, unfortunately, instead of exacting a compromise, simply disappeared. A desire to throw over reality a light that never was might give way abruptly to the desire on the part of what we might consider a novelist scientist to record exactly and concretely the structure and texture of a flower.

In this instance, the new impulse was at least an energetic one. And thus its indulgence did not result in a relaxed style. But on other occasions Hardy abandoned a perilous risky and highly energizing impulse in favor of what was for him the fatally relaxing impulse to classify and schematize abstractly. When a relaxing impulse was indulged, the style—that sure index of an author's literary worth—was certain to become verbose.

Hardy's weakness derived from his apparent inability to control the comings and goings of these divergent impulses and from his unwillingness to cultivate and sustain the energetic and risky ones. He submitted of first one and then another, and the spirit blew where it listed; hence the unevenness of any one of his novels. His most controlled novel, Under the Greenwood Tree, prominently exhibits two different but reconcilable impulses—a desire to be a realist-historian and a desire to be a psychologist of love but the slight interlockings of plot are not enough to bind the two completely together. Thus even this book splits into two distinct parts.

Which of the following is the most appropriate title for the passage, based on its content?

A.Hardy's Novelistic Style. A Literary Light.

B.Hardy's Creative Conflict: Rationalism and Realism.

C.Hardy's Achievements: An Ambiguous Triumph.

D.Hardy's Novelistic Impulses: The Problem of Conflicts.
