I was wearing makeup like a big girl, and I was dressed in a white tutu (芭蕾舞短裙). I was so happy.As I stepped backstage, I couldnt wait to see Mommy and Grandmothers faces; they would be so proud of me.Grandparents, mothers, fathers and friends started to pour into the room. My eyes searched wildly for my mother and grandmother. All around me I saw each performer holding her bouquet (花束) of flowers in their arms.“Esther.” I heard my name being called.“Mommy,” I replied, rushing into her arms. My eyes glanced over to my grandmother. There were no flowers. Was I not good enough? Why didnt I get flowers? Tears began to stream down my cheeks.“Esther, whats the matter? You were so good on stage. Why are you crying?”“Flowers,” I said, as I started to cry uncontrollably. “Where are my flowers?”My mother was upset and said that this was the first recital (独舞表演) in our family so she did not know about this tradition. My grandmother said that she didnt know she should bring flowers, either. My mother drew me into her arms. My tears got absorbed into her sweater.On our way home along the riverside, which was dotted with wildflowers, our car stopped. My grandmother picked a bouquet of flowers for me. She told me that I was her perfect dancer. This made the waterfall on my face run even faster.As I look back on that day of my first dance recital, I realized that the bouquet my grandmother had picked for me was the most meaningful and loving bouquet that I would ever receive. Each flower that she picked was a flower of love.24. Why did the author cry after seeing her mother and grandmother?A. She was very nervous.B. She was extremely happy and excited.C.

They wanted to pick wildflowers for her.27. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. My grandmothers bouquetB. My first dance recitalC. My mothers big dancerD. My loving flowers.CDo you love Beats headphones, True Religion jeans, and UGG shoes? These are some of the most popular brands (牌子) around. They are also expensive. But some experts say they are not much better than cheaper brands.For example, Jim Wilcox works for Consumer Reports. He tested all kinds of headphones. He says that $80 Koss Pro headphones provide basically the same quality and comfort as Beats. So why do people pay twice or even 10 times as much for the hottest brands? Experts say its because fashionable, expensive brands send a message. Brands say “I belong” or “I can afford it.”Some people think that expensive brand names are worth the price. They say that some designer clothes really are top quality and that they last longer than cheaper brands. Some teenagers choose to wear popular brands because these brands make them feel good about themselves.Alexandra Allam, 17, likes to buy brand-name products. “Id rather spend the extra money to get something I know Ill be satisfied with,” she says. Her friend Emmy Swan agrees, saying “As long as you can afford it, it seems reasonable to buy what you want.” But not all teenagers agree. “Spending hundreds of dollars for designer sunglasses is stupid and unreasonable,” says Daniel Steinbrecher, 16. “Its fake (假的) happiness.”People who are against wearing expensive brand names say that many designer brands arent any better. “Its wasteful to buy things just because they are popular,” says Edmund Williams, 15. “Youll feel better if you buy things because you like them. If you have extra money to spend, it would be better to give it to people in need.”28. The example of Jims report wants to tell us _.A. popular brands make people comfortableB. Koss Pro headphones are better than BeatsC. the hottest brands are of the highest qualityD. lesser-known brands may offer the same quality as name brands29. Who have the same opinion on expensive brands?A. Alexandra DanielB. Emmy EdmundC. Emmy AlexandraD. Daniel Emmy30. What does Edmund think of expensive brands?A. They are not worth the price.B. They make him feel confident.C. They need to improve their quality. D. They pay too much attention to personal likes.31. The text is mainly about _.A. how to buy things reasonably B. the competition between brandsC. the different values of teenagers D. whether expensive brands are worth high pricesDPeople who are overweight have a worse memory than their thinner friends, a small study shows.Tests on 50 people showed that being overweight had something to do with worse episodic memory or the ability to remember past experiences.The study in the Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology argues that a less vivid memory of recent meals may lead to overeating. However, other aspects of memorysuch as general knowledgeshow no signs.Tests on mice have previously shown that with burgeoning waistlines (腰围)come poorer performances in memory tests, but the evidence in humans has been mixed.Fifty people with a Body Mass Index(BMI) ranging from 18 (healthy) to 51 (very fat) took part in a memory testa bit like doing a treasure hunt on your own. They had to “hide” objects at different times and on different scenes displayed on a computer screen. They were later asked to recall what they had hidden, when and where. The results showed fat peoples scores were 15% lower than thinner people.Dr. Lucy Cheke, from the University of Cambridge, told the BBC News website, “The suggestion were making is that a higher BMI is having some reduction on memory, but theyre not drawing blanks and having amnesia(失忆症). In fact, if they have a less strong memory of a recent meal, with a less strong influence on the mind, then they may have less ability to control how much they eat later on.” Hunger hormones(激素)play a huge role in how much we eat, but it has already been recognized that our minds have a key role too.Dr. Cheke concluded, “It is too early to talk in terms of advice, but we are certainly beginning to observe how being overweight causes itself to continue. ”32.What does the underlined word burgeoning in Paragraph 4 refer to?A.changing. B. stopping. C. moving. D. increasing.33.Which of the following is TRUE about the experiment?A. The researchers compare the performances of people with various BMIs.B. Fifty subjects are required to look for objects hidden by the researchers.C. All aspects of memory will be influenced by overweight.D. The number of rats tested is the same as that of people.34.Dr. Lucy Chekes words show that.A. its high time that they provided suggestions on dealing with overweight.B. its our minds rather than hunger hormones that play an important roleC. if suffering from weak memory, people cannot control behaviorsD. having a higher BMI has a bad influence on memory in some way.35.Where does this text probably come from?A. A tour guide. B.An advertisement. C. A science report. D. Science fiction.第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下列短文，根据短文内容，从其后所给的选项中选出能够填入空白处的最佳答案，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项是多余的选项。How Laughing at Yourself Makes You AttractiveHave you ever embarrassed yourself in public and got laughed at for it? 36 And its okay we should even have a laugh about them.Laughing at yourself means accepting who you really are.
