21、My daughter went to see The Wild One recently and she commented that Marlon Brando was wearing jeans so long ago. Of course he helped set the trend, so that got me thinking about the link between films and trends in fashion. Fashion and films have gone hand in hand for long. The Wild One is a good example: it appeared in 1954, starring Brando. Dressed in a black leather motorcycle jacket, leather cap and jeans, he created a look which is still considered “cool” today. Everyone from Madonna to middle-aged men is seen wearing the classic leather motorcycle jacket.

Another strong influence on fashion trends was Breakfast at Tiffany’s, starring Audrey Hepburn. She made famous the simple black dress that looks perfect at either a cocktail party or just standing around an expensive department store like Tiffany’s with a pastry and coffee in your hand, as Audrey Hepburn does in the film. She looks so elegant, wearing simple but beautiful dresses, big dark glasses and a string of pearls around her neck. Audrey Hepburn still influences women’s fashion with her “Tiffany’s look”.

In more modem times, the film star Uma Thurman created a major fashion trend when she appeared in the film Pulp Fiction, made in 1994. Her style was very simple. Her black trousers, crisp white shirt and hair style was copied by women in the world.

Influencing fashion trends can often be about timing. The movie Memoirs of a Geisha came just in time to start a trend in Japanese fashion. It starred the Chinese actress Zhang Ziyi, who wore beautiful silk kimonos (和服), and it won an Oscar for Costume Design. Many travel companies picked up on the trend and ran “geisha trips” to Japan. The film has also led to a regained interest in kimonos. It is now quite common to see young Japanese women wearing kimonos not just on traditional occasions, but at various social events. The fashion is also beginning to spread to Western countries.

【1】What is the best title of the passage?

A. Films and fashion.   B. Stars’ fashion.

C. Influential films.   D. Film cultures.

【2】Who will people associate Madonna wearing the leather motorcycle jacket with?

A. Zhang Ziyi.   B. Audrey Hepburn.

C. Uma Thurman.   D. Marlon Brando.

【3】What is implied in the film Breakfast at Tiffany’s according to the passage?

A. One can be active by wearing black.

B. One can be elegant by dressing simply.

C. One can be famous by looking perfect.

D. One can be stylish by eating at Tiffany’s.

【4】What does the film Memoirs of a Geisha lead to?

A. The popularity of the Chinese actress.

B. The worldwide reading of Geisha stories.

C. The recovery of interest in kimonos.

D. The “geisha trips” to social events.

22、Young people are losing faith in an elitist education system. “If you don’t have the ability then blame your parents,” wrote Jung Yoo-ra on social media in 2014, after being accepted into a famous university. Her mother, it turns out, had gone to great lengths to secure a spot for her, persuading Ehwa Women’s University to alter its admissions policy in a manner tailor-made for Ms. Jung.

Last month a court ruled that the nine people involved in this deception had fundamentally shaken the “values of fairness of our society”. Above all, the “feelings of emptiness and betrayal they caused in hardworking students” could not be excused.

University was once seen as a source of social mobility in South Korea. But so important is the right degree to a student’s prospects in life that rich families began spending heavily on coaching to improve their children’s chances, leaving poorer families behind.

By 2007 over three-quarters of students were receiving some form of private tuition, maximizing the three necessities to win a place at a good university: “father’s wealth, mother’s information, child’s diligence”.

Many South Koreans believe that the rich and influential do not just spend more on education, they also manipulate the system, as Ms. Jung’s mother, a close friend of the previous president, did so spectacularly.

According to the Pew Research Centre, a think-tank, only a fifth of those aged 18-33 believe that working hard brings success. An ever-growing dictionary of slang proves the perception: people speak of using “back” (backing, or connections) to get jobs; when Ms. Jung refused to return to South Korea to face charges related to her university admission, the local press described it as a “gold-spoon escape”.

【1】It can be inferred from the article that Jung

A．was admitted into the university without the slightest effort.

B．believed children's prospect was determined by their parents' capability.

C．was spared a legal punishment because of her connection.

D．held a strong belief in social mobility in Korea.

【2】The feeling of betrayal and emptiness comes from

A．Ms. Jung’s ignorance in the university admission

B．their lack of resources to support their children

C．the decline in the elite education system

D．the loss of education equality and social mobility opportunity

【3】Why do only a few people stick to the belief that success comes from hard work?

A．The purse of their parents is a determining factor in success.

B．They feel inferior to their rich peers.

C．Rich people take great pains in the educating their children

D．The good-spoon escape has shaken their value.

24、   As technology in the security field advances, so does the intelligence of the burglars in prevailing over this technology. Gone are the days when a simple alarm system, connected to your phone line, was enough to protect you from potential security risks.

Cellular alarm systems (蜂窝报警系统)are a replacement of the traditional wired phone line security networks. These systems work just like your cell phone. A cellular module is placed in the main control panel and it sends signals, without the use of wires, to the monitoring station. The cellular signal is sent via the data part of a cellular signal, much like a text message.

Sensors can be placed anywhere in your house. Whenever there is an emergency, the relevant sensor picks up the unusual activity and sends a cellular signal to the main control panel. The control panel serves more than one purpose, which sends a cellular signal at the same time to the monitoring service at the back end. The monitoring service later informs the relevant authorities in the form of high-pitched sirens (高音警笛声). Typically it takes a few minutes for emergency services to arrive at the scene. Depending on the efficiency of your monitoring service and the local authorities, help should arrive soon and deal with the potential threats.

It allows you to monitor your house remotely. All you have to do is simply access the cameras from your phone and keep a check for any unusual activities while you are not around. With cellular technology securing your house, you don’t have to worry about the power failure or even burglars cutting your phone lines.

Since these systems operate on batteries, you should be careful about when the batteries die out. There might be other appliances including microwave ovens and WiFi in the house that can cause disruption (干扰). Ensure that your cellular alarm system's range is not affected by the presence of these appliances. Many homeowners tend to go for wireless systems due to the ease of installation (安装）factor. However，keep in mind that a non-professional installation might actually leave the system easy to damage.

【1】What do the underlined words 'prevailing over' mean in Paragraph 1?

A.Improving. B.Defeating.

C.Worrying about. D.Looking into.

【2】How can the authorities know an emergency is happening?

A.They hear high-pitched sirens.

B.They read the cellular signal.

C.They check the control panel online.

D.They notice the unusual activity via sensors.

【3】What can we know about the cellular alarm system?

A.It looks like a phone. B.It is energy-saving.

C.It needs to be improved. D.It is wireless.

【4】What's the purpose of the last paragraph?

A.To give cautions about the system.

B.To introduce the benefits of the system.

C.To call on people to watch out for security risks.

D.To teach people to install the system correctly.

25、   Many high achievers credit music with opening up the pathways to creative thinking. And their _______ suggest that music training sharpens other qualities, such as collaboration, the ability to listen, and a way of thinking that weaves together _______.

Will your school music program turn your kid into a Paul Allen, the billionaire co-founder of Microsoft (guitar)? Or a Woody Allen (clarinet)? _______. These are singular achievers. But the way these and other visionaries process music is _______.

Larry Page, a co-founder of Google, played saxophone in high school. Steven Spielberg is a clarinetist and son of a pianist. The former World Bank president James D. Wolfensohn has played cello at Carnegie Hall.

“It’s not a(n) _______,” says Alan Greenspan, former chairman of the U.S. Federal Reserve. Mr. Greenspan was a professional clarinet and saxophone player. “I can tell you as a statistician, the probability that that is mere chance is _______.” The cautious former Fed chief adds, “That’s all that you can judge about the facts. The crucial question is: why does that _______ exist?”

Paul Allen offers an answer. He says music “reinforces your confidence in the ability to ________.” Mr. Allen began playing the violin at age seven and switched to the guitar as a teenager. Even in the early days of Microsoft, he would pick up his guitar at the end of marathon days of programming. The music was the emotional analog to his ________, with each channeling a different type of creative impulse. ________, there is “something pushing you to ________ what currently exists and express yourself in a new way,” he says.

The veteran advertising executive Steve Hayden ________ his background as a cellist for his most famous work, the Apple “1984” commercial depicting rebellion against a dictator.

26、阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

At first, Michael Surrell didn’t see the black smoke or flames shooting from the windows of his neighbors’ home. He and his wife had just parked around the comer from their own house when they got a call from one of his daughters: “The house next door is on fire!” He went to investigate. That’s when he saw two women and a girl screaming on the porch (门廊).

“The baby’s in there!” one of the women cried. Though the fire department had been called, Surrell, then 64, immediately ran inside. “The baby” was 8-year-old Tiara Roberts, the woman’s granddaughter and a playmate of Surrell’s three youngest kids.

Entering the burning house was like running into a bucket of black paint. The thick smoke caused Surrell to stumble blindly around, burned his eyes, and made it impossible for him to breathe. The conditions would have been dangerous for anyone, but for Surrell, who has chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (慢性阻塞性肺病), they were life-threatening.

After a few minutes in the smoke-filled house, he went outside to catch his breath. “Where is Tiara?” he asked desperately.

“The second floor,” her aunt shouted back.

Surrell knew he couldn’t hold his breath for long. Taking a deep breath, he went in a second time. The darkness was overwhelming. Yet because the house had a similar layout (布局) to his, he found the stairs and made it to the second floor. He turned to the right and was met by intense heat. He was already out of breath.

“Baby girl, where are you?” His throat and lungs burned as if he’d breathed in fire instead of the smoke in the air. Every blink stung (使疼痛) his eyes. All he could hear was the cracking and popping of burning wood. Then a soft moan emerged. Still unable to see, Surrell fell to his knees on the hot wood floor. He crawled toward the sound, feeling around for any sign of the girl. A terrible thought crossed his mind: I’m probably gonna die up here.
