A

    Do you have cold feet in winter? But now if you wear a pair of UGG boots, you won’t be troubled by that.

UGG means Australian Sheepskin Boots. UGG boots became popular among shearers (剪羊毛的人) in the 1920s.The shearers sheared the sheep and grabbed a bit of dead sheep, wrapped it around their feet and called them “Ugly Boots”. Good old Australian slang shortened Shearers Ugly Boots to UGG boots. Thus UGG Boots date back as far as the 1920s in Australia.

UGG boots became so popular because of the amazing amount of comfort they bring to the feet. The sheepskin is made incredibly soft so the boots are warm and comfortable. UGG boots felt more like socks than shoes, yet they are tough enough for outdoor wear.

Our UGG boots are handmade with Australian sheepskin of the highest quality by our factory of UGG Original Pty Ltd.

We can wear UGG boots in cold weather or summer. In cold weather, the thick wool of UGG boots provides a preventing layer of warmth by trapping your body heat. In the heat of summer, the natural fibres of the wool will actually cool your feet by absorbing sweat. UGG boots are made to be worn barefoot to maximize the cushioning and warmth provided by the sheepskin.

Why not pick up your phone and contact us right now at www.uggoriginal.com.au.?

21．Who made the first pair of UGG boots according to the passage?

A．Shearers. B．Travelers.

C．Workers. D．Campers.

22．Which of the following words can be used to describe the UGG boots?

A．Ugly and hard. B．Comfortable and warm.

C．Strong and warm. D．Cheap and tough.

23．The purpose of writing the passage is to ________.

A．persuade B．advertise

C．inform D．instruct

B

    For Western designers, China and its rich culture have long been an inspiration for Western creative.

“It’s no secret that China has always been a source(来源) of inspiration for designers,” says Amanda Hill, chief creative officer at A+E Networks, a global media company and home to some of the biggest fashion(时尚) shows.

Earlier this year, the China Through A Looking Glass exhibition in New York exhibited 140 pieces of China-inspired fashionable clothing alongside Chinese works of art, with the aim of exploring the influence of Chinese aesthetics(美学) on Western fashion and how China has fueled the fashionable imagination for centuries. The exhibition had record attendance, showing that there is huge interest in Chinese influences.

“China is impossible to overlook,” says Hill. “Chinese models are the faces of beauty and fashion campaigns that sell dreams to women all over the world, which means Chinese women are not just consumers of fashion — they are central to its movement.” Of course, not only are today’s top Western designers being influenced by China—some of the best designers of contemporary fashion are themselves Chinese. “Vera Wang, Alexander Wang, Jason Wu are taking on Galliano, Albaz, Marc Jacobs—and beating them hands down in design and sales,” adds Hill.

For Hill, it is impossible not to talk about China as the leading player when discussing fashion. “The most famous designers are Chinese, so are the models, and so are the consumers,” she says. “China is no longer just another market; in many senses it has become the market. If you talk about fashion today, you are talking about China—its influences, its direction, its breathtaking clothes, and how young designers and models are finally acknowledging that in many ways.”

24．What can we learn about the exhibition in New York?

A．It promoted the sales of artworks. B．It attracted a large number of visitors.

C．It showed ancient Chinese clothes. D．It aimed to introduce Chinese models.

25．What does Hill say about Chinese women?

A．They are setting the fashion. B．They start many fashion campaigns.

C．They admire super models. D．They do business all over the world.

26．What do the underlined words “taking on” in paragraph 4 mean?

A．learning from B．looking down on C．working with D．competing against

27．What can be a suitable title for the text?

A．Young Models Selling Dreams to the World

B．A Chinese Art Exhibition Held in New York

C．Differences Between Eastern and Western Aesthetics

D．Chinese Culture Fueling International Fashion Trends

C

    Some people say summer is the time when teachers should get more pay. But not everyone is grateful to teachers for keeping kids occupied (无空闲的) between August and June: Washington state representative Liz Pike has written a Facebook post, titled “A life in the day of a WA state representative,” and responded to teachers’ complaints of rising costs of living. The post has received criticism for being anti-teacher. After reading her post, I feel that Liz Pike should rethink her criticism of public school teaching and avoid comparing it to the private school.

Many of us teachers would certainly like teaching to be more like the private school. We see nothing wrong with fair pay for fair performance. In fact, performance is the name of the game. With standardized testing popular throughout K-12 education, teachers are some of the most analyzed and performance-measured employees in the United States. Liz Pike is very angry that teachers want raises even while test scores are dropping. Well, how are we supposed to have discipline (纪律) in the classroom when our hands are tied and we can hardly do anything with naughty students or fail students who are not prepared to move on to the next grade?

Teachers would love to be able to turn education around and improve student performance. But we can’t, and we should not suffer for it. Unlike private school businesses, public schools cannot turn away “customers”. A private school business serves customers who walk through the door of their own free will, while public schools have to educate students who only attend because courts say they must.

She says those who are “uninspired” by a lack of a cost of living increase should give up teaching. Is this the message that she thinks should be sent to the students whose academic performance she claims (声称) to care so much about? That “if you love it you’ll shut up and not stand up for yourself”? I think teachers should stand up for themselves and I also think supporting teachers can make teachers teach children how to stand up for themselves.

28．What is Liz Pike’s opinion?

A．Teachers shouldn’t ask for a pay rise. B．Teachers should be treated equally.

C．Teachers should accept public criticism. D．Teachers shouldn’t give students much homework.

29．What problem do teachers in public schools face in the author’s opinion?

A．Their performance is not measured.

B．They are under the control of a system of rules.

C．They can’t master the correct teaching method.

D．.Many schools are becoming private.

30．The underlined word “customers” in Paragraph 3 probably refers to _____.

A．students B．teachers

C．clever businessmen D．private schools

31．It can be inferred from the last paragraph that _____.

A．some teachers are not excellent enough

B．teachers shouldn’t complain about their living costs

C．supporting teachers is helpful to students

D．Liz Pike doesn’t care about students’ academic performance

D

    Technology offers conveniences such as opening the garage door from your car or changing the television station without touching the TV.

Now one American company is offering its employees a new convenience: a microchip implanted (植入) in their hands. Employees who have these chips can do all kinds of things just by waving their hands. Three Square Market is offering to implant microchips in all of their employees for free. Each chip costs $300 and Three Square Market will pay for the chip. Employees can volunteer to have the chips implanted in their hands. About 50 out of 80 employees have chosen to do so. The president of the company, his wife and their children are also getting chips implanted in their hands.

The chip is about the size of a grain of rice. Implanting the chip only takes about a second and is said to hurt only very briefly. The chips go under the skin between the thumb and forefinger. With a chip in the hand, a person can enter the office building, buy food, sign into computers and more, simply by waving that hand near a scanner. The chips will be also used to identify employees. Employees who want convenience, but do not want to have a microchip implanted under their skin, can wear a wristband (腕带) or a ring with a chip instead. They can perform the same tasks with a wave of their hands as if they had an implanted chip.

Three Square Market is the first company in the United States to offer to implant chips in its employees. Epicenter, a company in Sweden, has been implanting chips in its employees for a while.

Three Square Market says the chip cannot track the employees. The company says scanners can read the chips only when they are within a few inches of them. “The chips protect against identity theft, similar, to credit cards.” The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the chips back in 2004，so they should be safe for humans, according to the company.

In the future, people with the chips may be able to do more with them, even outside the office. Todd Westby is Chief Executive Officer of Three Square Market. He says, “Eventually, this technology will become standardized allowing you to use this as your passport, public transit, all purchasing opportunities, etc.”

32．What is the third paragraph mainly about?

A．The substitutes of the chips.   B．The advantages of the chips.

C．The places to implant the chips.  D．The potential risks of implanting the chips.

33．What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 5 refer to?

A．the hands          B．the employees        C．the scanners         D．the credit cards

34．We can infer that ________.

A．the chips have magic powers                B．the chips are very popular among the employees

C．the price of the chips is reasonable           D．most people suspect the application of the chips

35．Which of the following best describes Todd Westby’s attitude towards the chips?

A．Defensive.       B．Disappointing.           C．Optimistic.       D．Casual.

1. Figure out what you're scared of and do it continuously.
