I knew it would suit me best at first sight. But when I looked at the price tag (标签), I knew I had to give it up.The love for beautiful clothes has been planted in my heart the day when I was born to be a woman. Several years ago I read an article in a magazine. The article stated that when a woman is at her best time, she is usually poor or tasteless, so she cant get the right clothes; when she can afford to buy the clothes she likes, she often finds that they do not suit her anymore.On the way home, I was quite disturbed by such thoughts. It was just a pity, like many other pities. I thought to myself this way. But when I was about to enter the building where I was living, I saw the big mirror placed in the entrance. I saw a girl in it who was in cheap but cleanly washed sweater and jeans. She was rather young, healthy and energetic. For quite a while I was touched by what I had seen in the mirror.Then I almost forgot the tale: A person without shoes cried until he saw a man without feet. Being young without good clothes is like the person without shoes. I should have felt grateful that I havent lost my feet.21. How did the author feel when she decided not to buy the skirt?A. Embarrassed.B. Wise. C. Regretful.D. Relieved.22. The underlined word “She” in Paragraph 3 refers to .A. the authors friend B. a strangerC. the authors roommateD. the author23. Why was the author touched by what she saw in the mirror?A. She came to realize what she really possessed.B. She was reminded of her devotion to beauty.C.

We can learn from the text that the author considered her love for beautiful clothes as .A. funnyB. naturalC. silly D. simpleBGuide dogs are going to be available for the children who are unable to see normally in the UK for the first time, as the age limit is to be removed. The Guide Dogs for the Blind Association is to begin training dogs to help blind people under the age of 16.The association says too many youngsters with impaired eyesight are lacking in independence. They have only a limited social life because of their disability. Giving some of them guide dogs at a younger age is intended to help them to widen their range of activities and to improve their sense of self-confidence and independence. Guide dogs for these teenagers will begin to be provided from next year. There has been an experimental project to test the use of guide dogs with younger people.Charlotte, aged 14, was among the youngest guide dog owners. She had been gradually losing her eyesight since the age of eight, and lost her eyesight completely this year. She has been assisted by a two-year-old guide dog. Charlotte used to have a long stick to help her move around, but having a guide dog allows her much more freedom and makes her feel safer.However, the association says there is a worryingly patchy supply of services for the young blind people across the UK, and it calls for national standards to be introduced. As with adult blind people, only a small number of them are likely to be considered suitable for a guide dog. Most will continue to rely on extra help and training from education and social services.25. We can learn from the text that owning guide dogs .A. may meet with difficulties sometimesB. is beneficial to blind childrens developmentC. became possible in the UK recentlyD. is quite universal in the UK26.

Blind people need guide dogs assistance in their daily life.B. Age limit for the blind to have guide dogs is to be removed.C. More guide dogs will be trained in the UK.D. The project of using guide dogs is to begin.CAcross the United States, universities and colleges have been looking to become more sustainable (可持续发展的) and more than 600 schools have already planned to become eco-friendly. The EcoDorm, home to 36 students at Warren Wilson College in Swannanoa, was designed to be sustainable from top to bottom, or in this case, from its rainwater-collection system to its garden. The dormitory is bringing new meaning to the concept of living “green” at college.At Warren Wilson College, a biological science school with fewer than 1,000 students, the sustainability drive came from the student body. The EcoDorm concept was presented ten years ago by two students; a planning committee firstly suggested using building materials like corncob. Although the architects disagreed with the idea, they came up with other creative solutions: Wood siding was taken from the trees grown in the school yard that were suffering from a disease, and rainwater was collected in an old railway car and pumped back into the house to clean the toilets.All in all, the dorm uses nearly two-thirds less electricity than a similar-sized traditional building would. But even the most sustainable homes need continued efforts from its livers. And in the case of EcoDorm, students live by their words. Most also take advantage of the dorms bio-garden, planting and harvesting fruits and vegetables. “I didnt have to worry about paper towels being wasted or feel bad about drying my clothes outside,” Jeremy Lekich, the dorms gardener, said. “Basically, it has made my life easier.”29.

Green living is a new trend at American colleges.D. Students can learn to protect the environment through practice.DInstead of staying at home to care for the kids, many mothers work to help support their families. But what does a mother do when her child is sick?Sophia Fowkes worked as a computer programmer before, but she was fired for taking too much time off to care for her very sick child. Although she lost her job, she took an opportunity to turn her hobby into a business: creating “baby cakes”, a combination of diapers (尿布) and baby products artfully arranged to look like a cake. Inside, it contains blankets, towels, bottles and toys things that can be used for babies. They are perfect gifts.However, the idea of making “baby cakes” came from one of her experiences. When her child was born, she received a gift called diaper cake. It was made of diapers, but it was small and unusable. So she decided to create her own style of it to give her friends as a gift.

However, nowadays you wont find any geese there.The fair opened at 12:00 on the Thursday by the Lord Mayor of Nottingham, but it has an interesting and shocking history.For starters, it wasnt always the largest fair in the area. And the main fair for the people of Nottingham in terms of trade and economy was the Lenton Fair held at Lenton Priory.In the Middle Ages the Lenton Fair overshadowed (使显得逊色) the Goose Fair in size and importance. Harrisons Calendar of Fairs for 1587 mentions the Lenton Fair but not the Goose Fair. However, the Goose Fair competed with its local competitors and every year over 20,000 geese from the Fens in Lincolnshire arrived to be sold to provide the traditional Michaelmas dish.It wasnt just for geese either. All kinds of things were sold at the Goose Fair: sheep, horses and cattle were also sold.The fair has been under threat of closure many times over the years. In 1764 they actually had cheese riots (暴乱) due to an increase of a third on the price of cheese compared with the previous year, which resulted in an attack on the stallholders (摊主) at the fair.By 1880 the fair was reduced to a three-day event, which started on the first Thursday of October. In 1928 the fair was moved from the market square to its present site in the forest which is far away from the city centre. Despite attempts throughout its history to prevent the fair, the income from rents paid by the stallholders is financially beneficial to the local government. So regardless of the cheese riots and the various attempts to prohibit it, Nottingham Goose Fair has survived to celebrate over eight centuries of fun.37. The cheese riots in 1764 were mentioned to show .A. the Goose Fair met strong competition from its competitorsB. stallholders usually benefited most from the Goose FairC. the Goose Fair gradually lost popularity with time going byD. violence and troubles used to put the Goose Fair in danger38. The Goose Fair has lasted till today mainly because .A. it is full of fun and enjoyed by most peopleB. it brings great benefits to the local economyC. it has strong support from the mayor of NottinghamD. it is representative of the traditions of Nottingham39. We can learn from the text that .A. the Goose Fair didnt become famous until 1587B. the Goose Fair used to last longer than it does todayC. those against the Goose Fair were mostly from the countrysideD. the Lenton Fair was once held at the same time as the Goose Fair40. What does the underlined word “prohibit” in the last paragraph mean?A. Prevent.B. Follow.C. Ignore.D.
