Plastic bags are a popular container in much of the world, but they are also a major source of pollution which need hundreds of years to break down, and as they do, tiny pieces can poison soil, lakes, rivers and oceans. So, environment experts urge people to reuse and recycle plastic bags.
Maryland artist Allita Irby just does so. It all starts with the morning newspaper, and the plastic bag that the paper comes in. The mixed media artist recognized its rich possibilities three years ago. “As I was taking the newspaper out, I felt the texture (质地) of these bags. I just looked down and realized it takes three to make a braid (发辫). I’ll just put a few main materials in just to make it strong enough.” Since then, Irby has been using plastic bags to create abstract lines in her art works.
Before using plastic bags in her pieces, Irby used natural materials like feathers, leather and dried plants, all of which contain elements that represent her Native American ancestry and identity, like her piece called “Navaho Bundles”. “I was making a hair style, a Navaho hair style when the hair was heavy and it was looped back on itself. I took the piece and looped it back onto itself and secured it with a tie.
Ms. Irby’s neighbors praise her ability to turn wastes into treasure. Some people, like Charlotte Hogan, asked the artist to teach them how to create art from used plastic bags. Aleta Meyer expressed surprise, “ I’ve never given any more thought to what to do with a plastic bag. This is definitely different.” Shirley Watts plans to show others her art. “I want to make a masterpiece that I can put in a frame and put it on my wall and then I know that I did it,” she said.
Allita Irby says anyone can do it and all you have to do is open your eyes and bring the outside in.
21．The first paragraph is written to offer _______.
A. the conditions of making plastics
B. the background of the story
C. the reason for using plastics
D. the importance of plastic bags
22．We can learn that Allita Irby ________.
A. will never use plastic bags herself
B. pays much attention to her hair style
C. was born in a Native American family
D. only uses plastics to make art works now
23．What do you know about Allita Irby’s art works before she used plastic bags?
A. They are similar to Navaho hair styles.
B. They are actually tools used in daily life.
C. They offer Irby the inspiration to recycle plastic bags.
D. They are made of natural materials.
24．What do Allita Irby, Charlotte Hogan, Aleta Mryer and Sjirley Watts have in common ?
A. They live in the same neighborhood.
B. They are all mixed media artists.
C. They are active in protecting the environment.
D. They learn art from the same master.
25．As for art works made from wastes, ________.
A. Watts follows Irby to make art works.
B. Meyer says she’ll never make plastic arts.
C. Irby thinks what it needs is to discover beauty.
D. Hogan thinks they are the best ones for churches.

Written in the first chapter of the book Pride and Prejudice is an extraordinary sentence of which even a person who has had only a brief look upon the book will not fail to receive a deep impression — It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife. In terms of Sherlock Holmes, we’d better alter the sentence into “It is a fact universally accepted by readers throughout the world that an excellent book in possession of our famous detective Sherlock Holmes is undoubtedly a masterpiece of all times.” Perhaps this is one of the most obvious explanations for the unrivaled popularity of “Holmes series” in the field of detective stories. Overwhelmed by the recommendations provided by my friends, I decided to take a look on this Sherlock Holmes and the Duke’s Son originally published by Oxford University Press.
As a whole, this book is about a case concerning the Duke’s missing son. Arthur, the Duke’s son, was found out in a certain morning to have disappeared, accompanied with which was also the disappearance of the German teacher. The school master Dr. Huxtable then turned to the famous
detective of the time Sherlock Holmes for help. Realizing how tough and important the case is, Holmes immediately made up his mind to accept the case and followed Dr. Huxtable back to Mackleton by train. Having formed a rough idea about the whole matter, Holmes probed into the case immediately and had a careful investigation of the entire area shortly after the arrival, during the process of which he discovered the body of the German teacher Heidegger. Finally, primarily due to his prominent ability as a detective, he managed to unravel the mystery.
Having once started reading this fiction, I was completely immersed in the mysterious story. At the beginning, unlike other detective stories, this story first delineates the client’s strange behavior at length to indicate the severity of the incident in order to attract the readers to continue reading it. As is known to all, vivid depiction is essential to detective stories as it makes the story more authentic and attractive. Therefore, trying to present a “real world” to his readership, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, author of the original “Holmes series”, has skillfully arranged the plots of the whole story from the perspective of Dr. Watson, a friend of Homes’. In this way, he elaborately (精心)depicted every scene and character in the book. Apart from the special start, the ending of the whole story, being dramatic but reasonable, is certainly an outstanding one. After all, except the author himself, who knows that the Duke’s seemingly ordinary secretary is in fact the Duke’s bastard(私生子)? In addition, who knows that the Duke actually has already been acquainted with the whole thing before Holmes solves this complicated problem? Yet, surprising as it is, this ending seems so natural that it fits all the plots of the story perfectly well. Closing my eyes, I can even “see” the story happening just like watching a film.
As far as I am concerned, nothing is more admirable and surprising in the hero Sherlock Homes than his profound knowledge which has certainly assisted him a lot when he was studying the case. Take the bicycle tyres for instance, Holmes is capable of recognizing 42 different varieties of bicycle tyres. Except for his illimitable knowledge, Holmes also specializes in arranging the facts in order and then finding the fact leading him to a great discovery or even the truth itself. In this case, after getting rid of unrelated facts, Sherlock Homes eventually grasped the clue and discovered the amazing fact.
Needless to say, as a world-renowned masterpiece, Sherlock Holmes and the Duke’s Son has attracted and is still charming numerous readers from all corners of the world and people from all walks of life. The “Holmes series” has already set up a standard against which all the following
detective fictions are measured. Sherlock Holmes, beyond all doubt, has been a name firmly rooted in people’s memories. Although Dr. Watson’s closing The Case Book of Sherlock Holmes in 1927 was a great pity to the readers, the discontinuance of the entire “Holmes series” may have actually added to the legendary stature of Sherlock Holmes.
29．Why does the author mention the book Pride and Prejudice?
A. To show his/her impression on it.
B. To change a sentence in it to evaluate the Holmes series.
C. To quote a sentence to directly illustrate its impressiveness.
D. To state the reason why he/she began reading Sherlock Holmes and the Duck’s son.
30．Many factors contribute to the author’s positive attitude toward the book EXCEPT that __________.
A. the detailed description of a client’s strange behavior arouses the readers’ interest
B. the plots are well laid out and all scenes and characters are artfully presented
C. the book is even adapted into a film and the author really enjoys watching it
D. its ending is so surprising that it makes the author deeply impressed
31．What kind of a person is Sherlock Holmes according to the passage?
A. Knowledgeable. B. Arbitrary.
C. Mysterious. D. Courageous.
32．How is the passage organized?
(p=paragraph)
A. B.
C. D.
33．What’s the passage mainly about?
A. It mainly introduces the plots of the book Sherlock Holmes and the Duck’s son.
B. It’s mainly about the author’s attitude towards Sherlock Holmes.
C. It’s mainly about the thoughts of the author after reading Sherlock Holmes and the Duck’s son.
D. It’s mainly a comparison between the book Pride and Prejudice and the Holmes series.
You may have heard some of the fashion industry horror stories: models eating tissues or cotton balls to hold off hunger, and models collapsing (昏倒) from hunger-induced (因饥饿所致的) heart attacks just seconds after they step off the runway (T台).
Excessively skinny models have been a point of controversy (争论) for decades, and two researchers say a model’s body mass (体重) should be a workspace health and safety issue. In an editorial released Monday in the American Journal of Public Health, Katherine Record and Bryn Austin made their case for government regulation of the fashion industry.
The average international runway model has a body mass index (BMI) under 16-low enough to indicate starvation by the World Health Organization’s standard. And Record and Austin are worried not just about the models themselves, but about the vast number of girls and women their images influence.[来源:学科网ZXXK]
“Especially girls and teens,” says Record. “Seventy percent of girls aged 10 to 18 report that they define perfect body image based on what they see in magazines.” That’s especially worrying, she says, given that anorexia(厌食症) results in more deaths than does any other mental illness, according to the National Institute of Mental Health.
It’s commonly known that certain diseases are linked with occupations like lung disease in coal miners. Professional fashion models are particularly vulnerable (脆弱的) to eating disorders (失调) resulting from occupational demands to maintain extreme thinness.
Record’s suggestion is to prohibit agents from hiring models with a BMI below 18.
In April, France passed a law setting lower limits for a model’s weight. Agents and fashion houses who hire models with BMI under 18 could pay $ 82, 000 in fines and spend up to 6 months in jail. Regulating the fashion industry in the United States won’t be easy, Record says. But with the new rules in France, U.S. support could
make a difference. “A designer can’t survive without participating in Paris Fashion Week”, she says, adding, “Our argument is that the same would be true of New York Fashion Week.”
34．What do Record and Austin say about fashion models’ body mass?
A. It has caused needless controversy.
B. It affects models’ health and safety.
C. It is but a matter of personal taste.
D. It is focus of the modeling business.
35．What are Record and Austin advocating in the Monday editorial?
A. Prohibition of models eating non-food stuff.
B. A change in the public’s view of female beauty.
C. Elimination (淘汰) of forced weight loss by models.
D. Government legislation (立法) about models’ weight.
36．Why are Record and Austin worried about the low body mass index of models?
A. It contributes to many mental illnesses.
B. It defines the future of the fashion industry.
C. It has great influence on numerous girls and women.
D. It keeps many otherwise qualified women off the runaway.
37．What do we learn about France’s fashion industry?
A. It has difficulty hiring models.
B. It has now a new law to follow.
C. It allows girls under 18 on the runway.
D. It has overtaken that of the United States.

五、七选五
Like it or not, there will be difficult times in our lives. You might lose your job, fail in your exams or have an illness. 59． Here are some ways not to lose hope during difficult times.
1.1Have faith.
60． No matter how bad the situation is, things will turn out to be good in the end. Several years
ago I failed to get my master’s degree. It was a really bad experience.61． It was of much better quality than my previous university. Experiences like this strengthen my belief that having faith is important during difficult times.
2.Be around supportive people.
Going through difficult times is hard, and going through them alone is even harder. You need a group of positive people who can support you. 62． If you don’t, my suggestion is to start looking for one. Don’t wait until you need it, because it will be too late by then. You need the community before difficult times come.
3.Help others.
An additional benefit of being in a good community is that it encourages you to think about other people. It pushes you to help others and, therefore, think about other people. 63． As a result, your situation won’t look as bad as it would be otherwise. Often the situation looks worse than it really is because we give too much attention. Shifting（移开）some of your attention away will put the situation in a better view.
A.Your community helps a lot.
B.Whatever it is, it’s important not to lose hope.
C.However, I changed my attitude towards failure.[来源:Z_xx_k.Com]
D.In this way you shift your focus away from yourself.
E.But I got a scholarship at an overseas university later.
F.You must believe that things will work out well eventually.
G.You should become part of a community that cares for one another.
六、书面表达
