As a teenager, Lee Ya-Ching was China’s most famous silent film actress. 1.But her greatest achievement was that she was China’s first woman pilot. Lee Ya-Ching was born in China in 1912. As an only child who lost her mother at a young age, Ya-Ching was raised by her father and grandmother. 2.在她父亲的帮助下, 她学会了许多技能。Ya-Ching went to English schools in Hong Kong and Shanghai and at the age of 16 she was sent to London to study. 3. Then she went to Switzerland and she decided to learn to fly there. She got her pilot’s license at the age of 21.

Seeing a need to train new pilots, Ya-Ching and some other pilots opened a flying school in Shanghai in 1936. 4. When the war between China and Japan started in 1937, she volunteered to be a pilot in the army. But she was refused. So she helped her country by setting up hospitals. Then she bought a plane and flew all over the United States, Canada and South America. She raised money to help Chinese people by flying.

Not much is known of Ya-Ching’s life after the war. 5. 她回到香港并在那里待了很长一段时间。In the 1960s, she returned to California, where she died at the age of 86.

24、When we interviewed what the life was like more than 70 years ago, many old soldiers were full of tears in their eyes. They told us that they never forgot those days when they were in the army, during which they lived hard lives but spared no effort to fight against the enemies.

  Now in the year 2015 comes the first great parade(阅兵) in the 21st century. September 3rd is the 70th anniversary(纪念) of the victory of the anti-fascist (反法西斯主义的) war. This day is considered as an important moment for China, as well as the world. 49 countries from all over the world, including South Korea and some European countries attended this special occasion.

In preparation for the parade, the soldiers worked hard every day. In order to walk well in the three hundred meters distance on the Tian’anmen Square, they had to receive extremely strict training. Each day, they got up early in the morning and started the 10 hours’ practice.

When a reporter arrived, it was raining heavily outside, but none of the soldiers stopped training. Nothing can stop their training, and no one can stop their deep love to their motherland.

The reporter asked, “The training is so hard but why does nobody give up?” “It’s the first time for me to join in such an important ceremony. I consider it a great honor. I must try my best.” One of the participants(参与者) answered. In fact, everyone takes pride in taking part in this big parade because they want to show the spirit of Chinese army, the power of Chinese army, as well as the determination of keeping the world in peace.

From the soldiers, we learned the power of dreams. If one has a dream, he will get over any difficulties that get in the way to make the dream come true.

【1】What did the old soldiers do more than 70 years ago?

A. They took part in a war.

B. They experienced something special.

C. They worked hard for the parade.

D. They answered a reporter’s questions.

【2】 How many countries took part in the parade?

C. 40   D. 70

【3】What is the main idea of Paragraph3?

A. A hard training.   B. A good reporter

C. The hot weather.   D. The heavy rain.

【4】According to the passage, the great parade took place in _____ .

【5】Which of the following is True?

25、   I love my iPhone-It’s my little connection to the larger world that can go anywhere with me. I also love my computer, as it holds all of my writing and thoughts. Despite this love of technology, I know that there are times when I need to move away from these devices(设备) and truly communicate with others.

I teach a course called History Matters for a group of higher education managers. My goals for the class include a full discussion of historical themes and ideas. Because I want students to carefully study the material and exchange their ideas with each other in the classroom. I have a rule-no computers, iPads or phones. When students were told my rule in advance of the class, some of them were not happy.

Most students bet that my reasons for this rule include unpleasant experiences in the past with students misusing technology. There’s a bit of truth to that. Some students guess that I am anti-technology. There’s no truth in that at all. I love technology and try to keep up with it.

The real reason why I ask students to leave technology at the door is that I think there are few places in which we can have deep conversations and truly engage complex(复杂的) ideas. Interruptions by technology often break concentration and allow for too much dependence on outside information for ideas. I want students to dig deep within themselves for inspiration and ideas. I want them to push each other to think differently and make connections between the course, the material and the class discussion.

I’ve been teaching my history class in this way for many years and my students gradually realize that with deep conversation and challenge, they learn at a level that helps them keep the course material beyond the classroom.

I’m not saying that I won’t ever change my mind about technology use in my history class, but until I hear a really good reason for the change. I’m sticking to my plan. A few hours of technology-free dialogue is just too sweet to give up.

【1】Some of the students in the history class were unhappy with________?

A.the course material B.others’ misuse of technology

C.discussion topics D.the author’s class rule

【2】The underlined word “engage” in Para.4 probably means ________?

A.explore B.accept C.change D.refuse

【3】According to the author, the use of technology in the classroom may ________.

A.keep students thinking independently

B.encourage students to have deep conversations

C.help students to better understand complex themes

D.affect students’ concentration on the course

【4】It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the author ________.

A.will never change his idea B.will give up teaching history

C.will change his teaching plan soon D.values technology-free dialogues in his class

26、Are you wearing old clothes?

Don’t worry if you are. Clothes bought at thrift shops are more popular than ever in the West nowadays.

A lot of young people have an interest in secondhand clothing.

Goodwill Industries, one of the most famous secondhand shopping companies in the US, said there had been an increase of 84 percent in money made from the sale of donated goods from 2007 to 2012, from $1.9 billion(about 13 billion yuan) to $3.5 billion.

Fanny Moizant, an online group that sells used clothes from luxury brands(奢侈品牌), agrees that “secondhand” is part of fashion now.

“Fashion has changed,” she told the Financial Times last month.” People need our service ----they need a place to let go and get rid of this excess(过剩).”

It wasn’t always this way. Secondhand clothes used to be much less popular.

Keren Charles, 37, from the US, remembers how embarrassed she was the first time she entered a thrift store more than 20 years ago.

“I didn’t want anyone to see me,” Charles told CNN. “In high school, people thought you were either poor or homeless.”

Now, the fashion fan says about 97 percent of her clothes are secondhand. Her favorite find is a $5 blue evening dress that could be worth hundreds of dollars.

So what is a thrift shop, exactly?

According to the US Association of Resale Professionals, a thrift shop is run by a not-for –profit（非盈利的）organization to get money to charitable causes.

The shops have become popular in recent times due to economic reasons.

More customers began coming to thrift shops in the US at the start of the recession(萧条), according to CNN.

And now secondhand clothing and vintage items are showing up in Western high fashion and street wear.

Fashionable hip-hop artist Macklemore and Ryan Lewis even wore a 2013 Billboard Music Award for their hit song Thrift Shop. The song is about “looking for a come up”(search for cheap things in a thrift store.

However, thrift store culture may be great for new shoppers and for business but it’s not so great for shoppers like Charles who are still “looking for a come up.”

“The competition is tough now,” she told CNN. “You’re in the thrift stores, and you’re seeing so many other people, but it’s still better than shopping at a department store.”

【1】Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the article?

A. Vintage items sell better than other used clothes.

B. Thrift shops are a new form of shops that have appeared in the last 10 years.

C. Thrift shops sell used clothes in order to help people in need.

D. Young people show less interest in secondhand clothing than older people.

【2】According to the article, secondhand clothes have become popular in the West because _______.

A. there are more thrift stores to shop in

B. people have to live on less money

C. artists and stars are often seen in secondhand clothes

D. people now care less about others’ opinions

【3】The underlined word “Vintage” in paragraph 15 probably means“_________”.

A. old but expensive   B. large and very beautiful   C. old but high quality   D. popular and new

【4】What is the article mainly about?

A. The popularity of thrift store culture.

B. The importance of recycling secondhand clothes.

C. Different attitudes toward thrift shops.

D. The influence of the economy on fashion.
