German College SystemsBAudrey Hepburn won an Academy Award as Best Actress for her first major American movie, Roman Holiday, which was released in 1953. But she is remembered as much for her aid work as for her acting.Born in Belgium in 1929, Audreys father was British and her mother was Dutch. Audrey was sent to live at a British school for part of her childhood. During World War II, she lived and studied in the Netherlands. Her mother thought it would be safe from German attacks. Audrey studied dance as a teenager and during college when she returned to London after the war. But she realized she wasnt going to be a ballerina (芭蕾舞女演员). So she began taking acting parts in stage shows. Later she began to get small parts in movies.But it was Audrey Hepburns move to America that brought her true fame. In 1951 she played the character “Gigi” in the Broadway play of the same name to great critical praise. Two years later, Roman Holiday made her a star at the age of 24.Audrey made more than 25 movies. Among her most popular roles was Holly Golightly in Breakfast at Tifanys in 1961. Three years later she played Eliza Doolittle in My Fair Lady.She was married two times and had one son by each husband. In 1989, the UN Childrens Fund named Audrey a goodwill ambassador. She travelled all over the world in support of UNICEF (联合国儿童基金会) projects. The UN agency said she was a tireless worker. She often gave 15 interviews a day to gain money and support for UNICEF projects.Audrey Hepburn often said her loyalty to UNICEF was the result of her experiences as a child during World War II.

B.C. D. CThe biggest challenge faced by travelers especially those who like to have a hiking trip is how to ensure a steady supply of clean clothes. Now, thanks to a great invention called Scrubba Wash Pack, that worry may be a thing of the past.The portable(手提的) washing machine was invented by Ash Newland in 2020, while planning to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro. Struck by the limited packing space, he got inspiration(灵感) from traditional washboards to create a bag that could be used to clean clothes. Then he gave up his career as a lawyer and focused on perfecting the bags design. By 2020, the bag was ready for the public. It weighed only 180 grams and required very little storage space, making it perfect for anyone wishing to travel light.Not surprisingly, the bag worth 55 dollars was an instant hit with travelers, university students and even passengers. However, Newland was not satisfied. He still saw a flaw(缺点) with his invention dirty clothes had to be carried around in a separate bag! The recently introduced Scrubba Wash Pack solves that problem.In order to make the pack active, dirty clothes are placed inside the bag along with two to three liters of water. The bag is then shut tightly to ensure all air is squeezed out(挤出去) and the clothes are massaged for a few minutes. After a quick wash, they are clean and ready to be dried. According to Newland, the pack can clean anything from jeans to smelly socks! Whats even more amazing is that with a capacity to hold 13 liters of water, it can be used to wash more clothes at a time.The best part is that the 99-dollar pack that will be available for sale later this year, only weighs 300 grams and is completely foldable, making it easy to store when its not in use. With the Scrubba Wash Pack, wandering through foreign cities searching for a washing shop, or paying for washing machines may soon be a thing of the past!7.What led Ash Newland to create the Scrubba Wash Bag?A. His job requirements. B. A traditional washboard.C. His interest in invention. D. His personal experience.8.Why wasnt Ash Newland satisfied with his former invention?A. Clothes couldnt be washed well.B. The invention was not so convenient.C. The bag couldnt contain enough water.D. The cost of the invention was very high.9. It can be inferred that the improved Wash Pack _.A. turns to be much environmentally friendlierB. will replace the traditional washing machinesC. will be widely used by more travelers in the futureD. can encourage more people to travel a long distance10. What is the passage mainly about?A. Introducing a great new invention.B. Explaining the development of backpackC. Listing some common problems for travelers.D. Comparing two kinds of washing machines.第二节 七选五 （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。Rules on how to be a fit kidBeing fit is a way of saying a person; a person eats well, gets a lot of physical exercise, and has a healthy weight. 11 .
