I don't know exactly when my love for qipaos started.I just know that when I saw Zhao Wei and her costars wearing qipaos in Romance in the Rain TV series, which was set in Shanghai in the 1930s.I was smitten.
In my native United States, non-Asians are sometimes blamed on social media for wearing qipaos, but in China, people have what I consider a more reasonable and open-minded approach: If foreigners wear qipaos, it is seen as a gesture of appreciation for Chinese culture.
A Chinese friend recently gave me one of her old qipaos.The ice blue cloth features circles with four plants known as"mei lan zhu ju"in China.The qipao fits well at the shoulders, but not at the waist.The qipao was simply too tight.Many of my friends advised me to buy a new one .However, the value in it was that my dear friend who had been an outstanding Chinese actress in the 1980s had given it to me; it was a symbol of our friendship I finally decided to have the woman in the qipao store alter (修改) it.Even before the alterations, I thought it suited me well and the blue matched the color of my eyes, and I'm fascinated by “old” things.
The woman said my qipao was“ Shanghai style” and made of brocade(织锦缎).It had held pretty well throughout the years.The "qipao doctor "said she could add material to widen it, so I chose a light pink cloth with a"noble""flowered design, which fitted well with the qipao and had a similar style with the original one.Finally, my old qipao was altered to my satisfaction and given a second life.
24．What does the underlined word"smitten"in paragraph I mean?
A．Confused. B．Inspired. C．Attracted. D．Disappointed.
25．Why didn't the author buy a new qipao?
A．The qipao fitted her well. B．She valued the friendship.
C．She disliked new designs. D．The qipao was a “Shanghai style”.
26．The author chose the light pink cloth because .
A．the qipao doctor persuaded her. B．it matched the color of her eyes.
C． she appreciated the traditional culture. D．it had a similar style with the qipao. [来源:Zxxk.Com]
27．What is the best title of the text?
A． Giving an Old Qipao a Second Life. B．The Increasing Popularity of Qipaos.
C．My Enthusiasm for Collecting Oipaos. D．Spreading Chinese Culture to the US.
C
The national movement to get rid of plastic bags is gaining steam — with more than 240 cities and counties passing laws that ban or tax them since 2007 in the US. But these bans may be hurting the environment more than helping it.
University of Sydney economist Rebecca Taylor and colleagues compared bag use in cities with bans with those without them. For six months, they spent weekends in grocery stores recording the types of bags people carried out.
Taylor found these bag bans did what they were supposed to: People in the cities with the bans used fewer plastic bags, which led to about 40 million fewer pounds of plastic garbage per year. But people who used to reuse their shopping bags for other purposes, like picking up dog waste, still needed bags. "What I found was that sales of garbage bags actually grew sharply after plastic grocery bags were banned," she says.
Garbage bags are thick and use more plastic than typical shopping bags. "So about 30 percent of the plastic that was reduced by the ban comes back in the form of thicker garbage bags," Taylor says. On top of that, cities that banned plastic bags saw a surge in the use of paper bags, which she estimates（估计）resulted in about 80 million pounds of extra paper garbage per year.
A bunch of studies find that paper bags are actually worse for the environment. They require cutting down and processing trees, which involves lots of water, toxic chemicals and fuel. While paper is biodegradable(可生物降解的) and avoids some of the problems of plastic, Taylor says, the huge increase of paper means banning plastic shopping bags increases greenhouse gas emissions(排放).
The Danish government recently did a study that took into account environmental impacts（影响）beyond simply greenhouse gas emissions, including water use, damage to ecosystems and air pollution. These factors make cloth bags even worse. They estimate you would have to use an organic cotton bag 20,000 times more than a plastic grocery bag to make using it better for the environment.
28．What is main idea of the passage?
A．Banning plastic bags is gaining popularity worldwide.
B．Banning plastic has great influence on people’s life.
C．Banning plastic increases the use of pager and cloth bags.
D．Banning plastic may harm rather than help the environment.
29．What is the result of banning grocery plastic bags?
A．Plastic bags are no longer needed.
B．The amount of garbage is even greater.
C．People began to reuse their plastic bags.
D．Most of the reduced plastic returns in garbage bags.
30．Why are paper and cloth bags worse for the environment?
A．It hurts the environment more to make them.
B．They are not as biodegradable as plastic bags.
C．They can’t be reused as many times as plastic bags.
D．They are much thicker than plastic bags.[来源:学科网ZXXK]
31．What does the underlined word in the fourth paragraph mean?
A. Tight control. B. Fast development.
C. Sharp increase. D. Sharp decrease.
D
Your car is a necessary part of your life． You use it every day． Of course， you want to hold on to it so you make sure it has the latest alarm and immobilizer （汽车防盗器）．But despite all these， cars like yours are still stolen every day． In fact， in this country，one car is stolen almost every minute! And if your car is stolen， you only have a 50：50 chance of seeing it again．
Each year，car crime costs nearly £3 billion． Of course， if you're insured （保险），you won't lose out， or will you？ Firstly， you will have to pay extra insurance later on， and then you may not be offered the full amount by the agent． You will probably have to hire a car and you will also lose he value of the contents and accessories （配件）in the car．
Now comes the solution． An RAC Trackstar system， hidden in one of 47 possible secret locations in your car， is the key to our system． If your car is stolen， radio signals are sent at twenty﹣second intervals from the car to the RAC Trackstar National Control Center via a satellite network． Then a computer gives he vehicle's exact location， speed and direction．
The RAC Trackstar National Control Center， which operates 24 hours a day， 365 days a year，will immediately inform the police in the area where the car is located． Because the police receive information every twenty seconds，they will always know the vehicle's location． Once the thief has been arrested，your car will be returned to you．
RAC Trackstar is unique in being able to provide the National Control Center with details of the exact location of your car， its speed and direction． And speed is the key to successful recovery of a stolen vehicle． RAC Trackstar Control will immediately tell the police if you report your car stolen and under the 24﹣hour Guardian Option． It will also tell you if your car has been stolen． RAC Trackstar's constant updates mean the police are kept informed of the car's location． All these greatly improve your chances of seeing your car again．
32．If your car is stolen，you will have to ．
A． buy a RAC Trackstar system B．hire a new car
C． pay more insurance D．inform the National Control Center
33．The Trackstar system can tell the police ．

An 80-year-old man was sitting on the sofa in his house along with his 45-year-old son. Suddenly a crow (乌鸦) landed on their window.

After a moment, the father yet again asked his son for the fourth time, "What is this?"
This time his son shouted at his father, "Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again? I have told you already, 'IT IS A CROW'. Are you not able to understand this?"
A minute later the father went to his room and came back with a diary, which he had kept since his son was born. On opening a page, he asked his son to read that page.
Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa when a crow suddenly landed on the window edge. My son asked me 23 times what it was, and I replied him 23 times that it was a crow. I hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the same question. I didn't at all feel angry, but instead felt affection for my son.

第一节Dear Tom,
Nice to receive your e-mail, I'd like to tell you about my favorite sport, table tennis, which is the most popular sport in China.
At the age of six, I began to learn to play table tennis from my parents, who are good at it. Since then, I´ve fallen in love with it and spent most of my free time learning to play it. Now I often practice playing table tennis with my friends and coach in my spare time. With time going on, I have learned many practical skills and won the first place in my school.
In my opinion, not only does the sport help me build up my body, train my brains and keep me confident, but also it helps me make a lot of friends. Therefore, I like it best of all the sports.
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节Paragraph 1:
After reading the diary, the son was filled with tears and began to reflect on the days when he used to sit together with his father. His father would patiently answer the same question all 23 times without feeling irritation while his father asked him the same question just four times! The son thought to himself: If I attain old age, how will my son look at me? Will he think of me as a burden? Will he shout at me because of my poor sight, poor hearing or poor understanding?[来源:Z+xx+k.Com]
Paragraph 2:
Feeling ashamed, the son got down on his knees before his father. He made an apology to his father, begging his father to forgive him for his bad behavior. He said this aloud, “I promise to see you happy forever, Dad. It is you who have cared for me since I was a little child, showering your selfless affection on me. You worked hard to make money so that I could afford to go to university. I will serve you in the best day.”

A Chinese friend recently gave me one of her old qipaos.The ice blue cloth features circles with four plants known as"mei lan zhu ju"in China.The qipao fits well at the shoulders, but not at the waist.The qipao was simply too tight.Many of my friends advised me to buy a new one .However, the value in it was that my dear friend who had been an outstanding Chinese actress in the 1980s had given it to me; it was a symbol of our friendship I finally decided to have the woman in the qipao store alter (修改) it.Even before the alterations, I thought it suited me well and the blue matched the color of my eyes, and I'm fascinated by “old” things.
The woman said my qipao was“ Shanghai style” and made of brocade(织锦缎).It had held pretty well throughout the years.The "qipao doctor "said she could add material to widen it, so I chose a light pink cloth with a"noble""flowered design, which fitted well with the qipao and had a similar style with the original one.Finally, my old qipao was altered to my satisfaction and given a second life.
24．What does the underlined word"smitten"in paragraph I mean?
A．Confused. B．Inspired. C．Attracted. D．Disappointed.
25．Why didn't the author buy a new qipao?
A．The qipao fitted her well. B．She valued the friendship.
C．She disliked new designs. D．The qipao was a “Shanghai style”.
26．The author chose the light pink cloth because .
A．the qipao doctor persuaded her. B．it matched the color of her eyes.
C． she appreciated the traditional culture. D．it had a similar style with the qipao. [来源:Zxxk.Com]
27．What is the best title of the text?
A． Giving an Old Qipao a Second Life. B．The Increasing Popularity of Qipaos.
C．My Enthusiasm for Collecting Oipaos. D．Spreading Chinese Culture to the US.

The national movement to get rid of plastic bags is gaining steam — with more than 240 cities and counties passing laws that ban or tax them since 2007 in the US. But these bans may be hurting the environment more than helping it.
University of Sydney economist Rebecca Taylor and colleagues compared bag use in cities with bans with those without them. For six months, they spent weekends in grocery stores recording the types of bags people carried out.
Taylor found these bag bans did what they were supposed to: People in the cities with the bans used fewer plastic bags, which led to about 40 million fewer pounds of plastic garbage per year. But people who used to reuse their shopping bags for other purposes, like picking up dog waste, still needed bags. "What I found was that sales of garbage bags actually grew sharply after plastic grocery bags were banned," she says.
Garbage bags are thick and use more plastic than typical shopping bags. "So about 30 percent of the plastic that was reduced by the ban comes back in the form of thicker garbage bags," Taylor says. On top of that, cities that banned plastic bags saw a surge in the use of paper bags, which she estimates（估计）resulted in about 80 million pounds of extra paper garbage per year.
A bunch of studies find that paper bags are actually worse for the environment. They require cutting down and processing trees, which involves lots of water, toxic chemicals and fuel. While paper is biodegradable(可生物降解的) and avoids some of the problems of plastic, Taylor says, the huge increase of paper means banning plastic shopping bags increases greenhouse gas emissions(排放).
The Danish government recently did a study that took into account environmental impacts（影响）beyond simply greenhouse gas emissions, including water use, damage to ecosystems and air pollution. These factors make cloth bags even worse. They estimate you would have to use an organic cotton bag 20,000 times more than a plastic grocery bag to make using it better for the environment.
28．What is main idea of the passage?
A．Banning plastic bags is gaining popularity worldwide.
B．Banning plastic has great influence on people’s life.
C．Banning plastic increases the use of pager and cloth bags.
D．Banning plastic may harm rather than help the environment.
29．What is the result of banning grocery plastic bags?
A．Plastic bags are no longer needed.
B．The amount of garbage is even greater.
C．People began to reuse their plastic bags.
D．Most of the reduced plastic returns in garbage bags.
30．Why are paper and cloth bags worse for the environment?
A．It hurts the environment more to make them.
B．They are not as biodegradable as plastic bags.
C．They can’t be reused as many times as plastic bags.
D．They are much thicker than plastic bags.[来源:学科网ZXXK]
31．What does the underlined word in the fourth paragraph mean?

An 80-year-old man was sitting on the sofa in his house along with his 45-year-old son. Suddenly a crow (乌鸦) landed on their window.
The father asked his son, "What is that?"
The son replied, "That is a crow."
After a few minutes, the father asked his son for the second time, "What is this?"
The son said, "Father, I told you just now. It's a crow."
After a little while, the father asked his son the same question for the third time, "What is this?"
This time, the son said to his father in a low and cold tone, "It's a crow, a crow."
After a moment, the father yet again asked his son for the fourth time, "What is this?"
This time his son shouted at his father, "Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again? I have told you already, 'IT IS A CROW'. Are you not able to understand this?"
A minute later the father went to his room and came back with a diary, which he had kept since his son was born. On opening a page, he asked his son to read that page.
Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa when a crow suddenly landed on the window edge. My son asked me 23 times what it was, and I replied him 23 times that it was a crow. I hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the same question. I didn't at all feel angry, but instead felt affection for my son.

第一节Dear Tom,
Nice to receive your e-mail, I'd like to tell you about my favorite sport, table tennis, which is the most popular sport in China.
At the age of six, I began to learn to play table tennis from my parents, who are good at it. Since then, I´ve fallen in love with it and spent most of my free time learning to play it. Now I often practice playing table tennis with my friends and coach in my spare time. With time going on, I have learned many practical skills and won the first place in my school.
In my opinion, not only does the sport help me build up my body, train my brains and keep me confident, but also it helps me make a lot of friends. Therefore, I like it best of all the sports.
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节Paragraph 1:
After reading the diary, the son was filled with tears and began to reflect on the days when he used to sit together with his father. His father would patiently answer the same question all 23 times without feeling irritation while his father asked him the same question just four times! The son thought to himself: If I attain old age, how will my son look at me? Will he think of me as a burden? Will he shout at me because of my poor sight, poor hearing or poor understanding?[来源:Z+xx+k.Com]
Paragraph 2:
Feeling ashamed, the son got down on his knees before his father. He made an apology to his father, begging his father to forgive him for his bad behavior. He said this aloud, “I promise to see you happy forever, Dad. It is you who have cared for me since I was a little child, showering your selfless affection on me. You worked hard to make money so that I could afford to go to university. I will serve you in the best day.”
