21、After figure skaters finish their programs, adoring fans often throw gifts onto the ice. There have definitely been some strange ones over the years. Sasha Cohen was once given sweaters and Debi Thomas even got a box of pizza after her performance at the 1987 world championships.

Apart from cards and clothing, the gifts are mostly stuffed animals（毛绒玩具）. Though it’s not clear exactly how or when this custom began, there are a couple of factors that help explain why they’re so popular rather than flowers. One factor is that flowers, once the go-to item to throw at skaters, are messy. The “sweepers” — the kids who skate around collecting all the gifts between each program — have a much easier time picking up stuffed animals than clear up every petal（花瓣）and leaf falling off its flower.

There’s no global ban on throwing bunches of flowers, but organizations made attempts to discourage the practice in the past. In 1989, US Figure Skating banned arenas(竞技场) hosting national championships from selling flowers. And at the 2002 national championships, the association publicly prevented fans from bringing flowers to the arena at all.

“Flowers have always been a problem. Even when they’re wrapped, some parts stick out and become a headache.” Larry Kriwanek, chairman of the event’s organizing committee, told us. “Flowers were going to be eliminated. It was just a question of when.” Instead, fans could buy stuffed animals inside the arena and shower their favorite skaters with those.

Stuffed animals also give supporters an opportunity to choose presents that seem more personal. “We sometimes will get stuffed animals in custom-made costumes to match what we’re wearing.” American ice dancer Meryl Davis, who won gold with partner Charlie White in 2014, told us. It turns out that skaters often do take especially meaningful gifts home with them.

【1】Why does the writer mention Sasha Cohen and Debi Thomas in Paragraph 1?

A．To indicate they are top figure skaters in the world.

B．To show figure skaters may get unusual gifts.

C．To tell readers how much their fans like them.

D．To explain what gifts are suitable for figure skaters.

【2】What was done to stop throwing flowers at figure skaters?

A．Punishing fans bringing flowers into arenas.

B．Issuing a global ban on throwing flowers.

C．Canceling a national game for selling flowers.

D．Keeping flowers out of a certain arena.

【3】Which of the following has the similar meaning as “eliminated” in paragraph 4?

A．forbidden.

B．grown.

C．allowed.

D．ordered.

【4】What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?

A．Tips for fans to choose suitable gifts.

B．Meryl Davis’s advice on stuffed animals.

C．Advantages of stuffed animals as gifts.

D．Gifts that figure skaters are fond of.

23、   When you look at fashion shows or see the latest clothes for this year in a magazine, you might think you’ve seen it all before. It sometimes seems that most of the designers are just going back to ideas that have already been around at least once before. If you really want to know what the future of fashion is, you need to look at an area that is alwasys looking forward: technology. The meeting point of fashion and technology is where the really exciting new ideas are.

For several years now, people have been talking about “wearable technology” as the next big development. In fact, some products that fit this description are already in the shops. You can buy watches that do everything your smart phone can do, or glasses with computers in that follow your eye movements and feed information to you as you walk around. But there’s much more to wearable technology than that.

Sports clothing is one area where new ideas are developing very fast. Runners and other sports people already wear small computers on their wrists that give them continuous information about how fast they’re running, how hard their bodies are working and so on. Experts agree that it’s often sports people (ususally young men) who are the first to take up new fashion ideas. Others then follow.

Women, it seems, are usually more interested in what clothes look like than what they can do, and techology has a part to play here too. Designers are already making clothes that can change color with how you are feeling, or react to sound. And if you think that sound unlikely, just think of all the things we accept as quite normal today that seemed impossible or silly only ten years ago.

The main reason that things like this aren’t in normal shops is that they aren’t cheap. But, as with all technological products, the price will surely come down fast. In any case, technological clothing doesn’t have to be expensive.

【1】What does the author intend to tell us in the first paragraph?

A．Technology develops faster than fashion.

B．The old fashion ideas are more popular.

C．Technology can bring new ideas to fashion.

D．Fashion keeps moving forward.

【2】What does the underlined word “that” in Para 4 refer to?

A．The fact that women prefer the fashion style.

B．The truth that people’s feelings can be controlled by clothes.

C．Clothes that can answer questions.

D．Clothes that can change colors according to wearers’ feelings.

【3】What can we learn from the text?

A．Technological clothing is not available on the market.

B．Sports people are the first to accept new fashions.

C．Women do not like technological clothing.

D．Technological clothing will be expensive.

【4】What is the author’s attitude towards wearable technology’s future?

A．Doubtful

B．Optimistic

C．Negative

D．Objective

24、   FLEA MARKETS (跳蚤市场)

For the best selection of flea market product, get there as soon as it opens on the first day of the market. If it’s open Saturday and Sunday all year round, go early on Saturday morning. For seasonal or annual flea markets, go early in the season, preferably the first weekend. You’ll have first pick of the goods the vendors (小贩) gathered during the year.

For the biggest discounts, it’s just the opposite. Shop mid to late afternoon during the final day, or days, of the flea market. The vendors are tired and ready to get home –and they might just cut you some fantastic deals if you ask. You may have to haggle a bit, but you’ll probably go home with some bargains, especially if you’re buying large, heavy pieces the tired sellers don’t want to pack and load.

YARD SALES

Yard sale shopping is a lot like flea market shopping. You’ll find the best selections when the sale first starts. Go early on the first day of the sale. If the sale starts at 7 am, be there a few minutes before – but not so early that you’re labeled an early bird. Don’t wait until Saturday to visit a yard sale that starts on Friday.

Like flea market vendors, yard sale sellers aren’t as willing to haggle early in the morning, but the prices are usually pretty low to start. Don’t wait until the afternoon bargain hours to shop at yard sales.

THRIFT STORES (旧货店)

For the best thrift store selections, ask the employees when the new product arrives. It could be a certain day of the week or a certain time each day. Find out, and then plan your visits for those days and times.

Thrift store prices are usually low, so you might want to snatch things up as soon as you find them. If the prices seem unusually high, ask about their sale structure. Thrift stores don’t always state their sales clearly and sometimes the sales are confusing. Find out when they discount the items that interest you. That’s when you’ll find the best deals.

【1】As for the biggest discounts in the Flea Markets, you’d better______.

A.get there about 6:50 am on Friday

B.go early on Saturday morning

C.ask the host when the new product arrives

D.buy items late afternoon during the last day

【2】The best Thrift Store selections should be taken_______.

A.after the sale starts B.as soon as you find them

C.when new items arrive D.before the afternoon bargain begins

【3】The text is most probably intended for ______.

A.antique collectors B.economical shoppers

C.product vendors D.wealthy people

25、In my primary school, we used to write a lot in Mrs. White’s class. There were many mistakes in my writings. But no red _________. Instead, always a star. Sometimes _________ a Good! I would jump with joy at it. But this _________ my mother. She wanted to figure out why Mrs. White never _________ spelling or grammatical errors. Then one day she went to see her.

Mrs. White replied, “Children are just beginning to get _________ about using words, about forming sentences. I don’t want to _________ that enthusiasm or put any pressure on them with red ink. Spelling and grammar can wait, but the _________ of words won ‘t…” And maybe she didn’t say it _________ like that. But what’s for sure is that I grew up learning to use words with _________ confidence from her.

It occurs to me that if Mrs. White had used her red pen more __________, I probably wouldn’t be telling you about this now. Looking back, I think she was such a(n) __________ teacher—to exercise “red-pen-restriction”. She allowed the joy, wonder and excitement of expression to come out.

In middle school, I used to __________ the word beautiful as “baeutiful”. Although “pretty” is __________ to spell, it doesn’t hold as much as you mean sometimes. So I told myself that if I was going to __________ the word, the least I could do was spell it right. Eventually, I made it.

And thanks to Mrs. White, I had no __________ when writing what I meant even if I couldn’t quite spell it out. Because Life isn’t Pretty. It’s “Baeutiful”.
