i wasnt trying to be prettier; i wanted to have control of my life.” size should not divide us, whether were fat, thin, or anywhere in between. im designing clothes for plus woman, but one day i might be open to designing straight sizes. people judge me for that, too. but i just want to create clothes that make people feel good. i want every woman to love herself and go after her dreams like i did. 24. what was the authors hope after she won project runway?

a. to encourage americans to eat more fruit. b. to show the public how to eat pomegranates. c. to teach american farmers to grow wonderful. d. to make pomegranates more popular in the us. 29. what did chater do when visiting his grandfather? a. he grew pomegranates. b. he tasted pomegranates. c. he helped him study pomegranates. d. he brought him pomegranate seeds. 30. what can we say about chaters grandfather? a. he was a specialist in fruit breeding. b. he liked to make friends with scientists. c. he was too strict with his grandchildren. d. he tried to save old types of pomegranates. 31. what is a disadvantage of wonderful? a. it remains unknown to many americans. b. it is difficult for farmers to grow the type. c. it is too sweet for most american consumers. d. it is ready later than other types of pomegranates. da mini ice age that lasted for 125 years began in the middle of the 6th century, helping to get the world into a period of time that was messy. one of the key events behind it was the big eruption (喷发) of a volcano (火山) somewhere in the southern part of the earth. now we may know when and where it happened. big eruptions throw so much debris (碎片) into the air that sunlight is blocked in some areas. this can cool the earth and encourage more ice to form at the two ends of the earth, reflecting (反 射) more sunlight, and further cooling the earth. it has long been thought that the eruptions of volcanoes between ad 536 and 547 first started what is known as the late antique little ice age. robert dull at california lutheran university and his workmates have now shown that the second of two big eruptions during this time appears to have happened at the ilopango volcano in el salvador, a country in central america. the team found the remains of three trees that“witnessed”this event. two of these were killed by the volcanic activity. studies on different tree rings inside the trees showed their age. the trees died between ad 503 and 545. research on debris in nearby soil (土 壤) also helped to show that a big eruption happened around this time, most likely in late ad 539 or 540. an earlier big eruption is thought to have happened in ad 536, but researchers havent yet managed to make sure which volcano was connected. “i think the late antique little ice age was started by these eruptions here and made longer by others,”says michael sigl at the university of bern in switzerland. the final proof that would connect ilopango to the ad 540 eruption would be to find debris from it in ice from the southern end of the earth from that time, he says. 32. what happened when lots of debris was in the air? a. the earth started losing ice. b. the temperature on the earth dropped. c. the two ends of the earth had more volcanoes. d. the sunlight reaching the earth became harmful. 33. what did robert dull learn about the second eruption between ad 536 and 547? a. it was bigger than the first one. b. it broke out in central america. c. it made the whole earth very hot. d. it was 11 years after the first one. 34. why did researchers study tree rings? a. to find out how many trees died. b. to understand why the trees died. c. to know at what age the trees died. d. to know how big the eruption was. 35. what did michael sigl think of the mini ice age? a. it started exactly from ad 540. b. it was started by one single eruption. c. it turned ilopango into a place fully covered by ice. d. it lasted 125 years because of more than two volcanic eruptions. 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 going to the gym after a long day at work can be a tiring task. however, once you get into the habit of making exercise a priority ( 优 先 事 项), it gets easier! david stine, author of the whole life, explains how you can make fitness a lifestyle choice. 36 . his physical activities have become a must on his calendar. he shared some of his thoughts with me. no matter what fitness plan you use, these points are practical and will do good to you. 37 based on your age, physical condition and body type, choose workouts that are realistic as far as what you can and should do. what was appropriate (适当的) for you at a certain age or life stage may not work for you today. find workouts that you will enjoy try doing different kinds of sports, like tennis or basketball as well as exercises and workouts. by doing so you will not get bored. 38 . create chances to motivate (激励) yourself activities, competitions, and classes are offered year-round, both indoors and outdoors. 39 . it can encourage you to carry out your fitness plans. use your calendar to keep yourself accountable (负有责任的) my tennis nights differ each week, depending upon who and when i can play, but i practice at least three nights a week, after the kids are off to bed, early in the morning, or even on my lunch hour. 40 , since i can still be with my family at night and have time to walk. putting these times in my calendar forces me to make room for workouts. a. be realistic in what you do b. these short periods of time work best c. spend 30 to 60 minutes daily exercising d. he has made playing tennis part of his life e. take part in races held by communities or schools f. doing things you enjoy will keep you coming back for more g. remember, its not about having time, its about making time 第一节（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的a、b、c和 d四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 a mother will always do anything for her child. this is why a simple fish vendor (小贩) made sure that her son would get the best 41 possible. the single mom 42 to send her boy to 43 school by working hard. nanita ronquillo is a fish vendor in the philippines who works at the market every day. 44 , her work as a fish vendor could hardly pay for her childs education. 45 the 55-year-old mom only earns a small amount (数 量) every day, she didnt let it stop her from 46 her son john nico ronquillo to achieve his dream of being a doctor. nanita worked 47 from early in the morning until late at night so she could 48 to send her boy to medical school. there is little 49 that nanita has lived a 50 life. after leaving her husband, instead of starting a new family, she chose to be a 51 mother. however, she never 52 john nico, who truly wanted to be a 53 . but in order to for her son get a better life, nanita had to 54 long hours just to earn enough to pay for his education. leaving the house at 5:00 am daily to 55 fish at the local market, nanita would keep working as late as 6:00 pm in order to make enough to 56 her sons tuition fees (学 费). despite ( 尽 管) her hard work, there were times when john nico had to drop out of the school because they couldnt save enough 57 . luckily, nanitas hard work all 58 . john nico graduated from medical school although it took him six years to 59 a four-year course. she certainly 60 that hard work will finally help you achieve your dreams. 41. a. education b. chance c. job d. family 42. a. promised b. managed c. refused d. failed 43. a. business b. language c. art d. medical 44. a. for example b. however c. in short d. besides 45. a. unless b. because c. so d. although 46. a. teaching b. helping c. forcing d. inviting 47. a. hard b. happily c. perfectly d. free 48. a. forget b. decide c. afford d. agree 49. a. way b. doubt c. reason d. possibility 50. a. full b. wonderful c. difficult d. different 51. a. brave b. kind c. tiny d. single 52. a. gave up on b. looked back on c.supported d. believed 53. a. coach b. farmer c. doctor d. musician 54. a. work b. study c. wait d. stay 55. a. sell b. cook c. feed d. protect 56. a. change b. cover c. increase d. consider 57. a. time b. space c. money d. power 58. a. paid off b. dropped off c.started d. continued 59. a. choose b. share c. finish d. offer 60. a. imagined b. realized c. hoped d. proved第二节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入 1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 if youve been an airline passenger in the last five years or so, maybe youve noticed an increase in the number of passengers 61. _ (carry) emotional (情 感 的) support animals: dogs, cats and birds. one woman wanted to board with a pig. the pig wasnt allowed, but it did become a social media sens
