stamps or coins. however, have you heard about people who like to collect paper cups or wrapping paper, things that we see every day but might not have for once looked at seriously? jeffrey brown, a 32-year-old net teacher from the uk, was very interested when he first saw the paper cups used in chinese tea restaurants in hong kong. “you can see these orange and white pretty cups all the time when you buy takeaway drinks at a local tea restaurant. the patterns on the outside of the cups are unique. yet people in hong kong just see straight through them,” he said. “they think these paper cups look all the same, but in fact each of them looks a bit different from the others. if you pay attention, youll notice some of these paper cups have spiral(螺旋) patterns on them; some of them have patterns of waves. there is a large number of variations.” jeffrey now owns over 200 paper cups, all in the colour of white and orange but with different designs. when people offer to buy his cups, he simply refuses. another collector, stacey cheng, likes to collect sweets wrapping paper and uses it to make decorative art. her work is among the most popular goods in local gift shops. “i started collecting them when i was 4,” she said smiling. “when i finished a sweet, i wouldnt let my mum throw away the wrapping paper because it looked so pretty.” now, whenever stacey enters a snack shop,

spain. so, i wasnt really excited as i knew exactly what it was going to be like; lots of noisy cousins and aunt rosa begged me to take her for a ride. after i had checked in, i made my way slowly to the departure gate. as i was waiting to board the plane, i kept thinking about my ideal holiday destination; jamaica, with its long , sandy beaches and crystal clear water. as soon as the plane took off, i fell fast asleep and only woke to the sound of the announcement: “ladies and gentlemen, please fasten your seat belts, as we will shortly be landing in kingston.” i froze in my seat. was i dreaming? kingston? jamaica? i had boarded the wrong plane! immediately after the plane landed, i explained the situation to the authorities. it seems there were also three of other passengers heading for spain. apparently it had been the airlines fault, since the flight numbers for spain and jamaica were exactly the same! therefore, with no flight to london for a week, the airline had no choice except to pay for our stay. so there i was, lying on the beach, enjoying the music and marvelous food of jamaica! as for aunt rosa, i suppose she just had to live without me!29. why did the writer choose to spend her holiday with her aunt in spain? a. she could hardly afford any better trip. b. her aunt begged her to go there. c. she missed her cousins very much. d. spain was her ideal

the following might be the best title of the passage? a. terrible adventure b. nice dream c. a well-planned d. lucky mistake ddo you know the word “helmet” ? good housekeeping has discovered that even if a child wear a helmet when she bikes, or skates, it may not protect her from a serious head injury. every year, 390,000 children under age 15 go to hospital emergency rooms with bike-related injuries. of that number, about one third children suffer head injuries and an estimated 200 die. by wearing a helmet, a child can reduce her risk of injury by as much as 85 percent. but remember a bicycle helmet must fit properly to be safe. here are five steps to making sure your childs helmet fits properly. 1) if you havent bought your childs helmet already, you might want to consider one with a rear stabilizer(稳定杆). a rear stabilizer holds the back of the head gently and helps the helmet stay correctly positioned. 2) the helmet should fit closely and shouldnt slide from side to side or front to back. if your child can put two fingers on both temples inside the helmet, its too big. try a smaller size. but if the next size down is too small, use the fit pads(护垫). fit pads come in different sizes and attach to the helmet with velcro. 3) tell your child to open her mouth widely and ask if she can feel the helmet push down onto the top of her head. if she cant, you need to readjust her helmet. 4) to prevent strap slippage, wind a rubber band around the strap where it meets the fastener. 5) recheck the fit regularly. you should replace the bicycle helmet: if she has been in an accident with it. if the buckle(金属扣) breaks or if a piece breaks off. if it doesnt have a u.s. consumer product safety commission, american society for testing and materials, or snell memorial foundation sticker. if it doesnt fit correctly. even if the helmet fit perfectly two years ago, it might be too small now.32. who is this passage mainly written for? a. children. b. teachers. c. parents. d. helmet producers.33. what does the author mainly want to stress in the second paragraph? a. the bike-related injury is a serious threat to the children. b. the bicycle helmets must fit properly while the children are biking. c. its necessary for the children to wear helmets while biking. d. many students suffer bike-related injuries every year.34. if a girl finds a helmet a little bit big for her head, what should she do? a. she must buy a smaller size. b. she can use some fit pads. c. she can put fingers on both temples inside the helmet. d. she must make helmet slide from side to side.35. phil white, a father, found the buckle of his girls helmet broken, he can_ a. buy a new bicycle helmet for her b. mend the bicycle helmet himself c. continue to use the bicycle helmet d. throw away the broken buckle 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。it turned out the key to weight loss and eating healthily may be right in front of the
