27、   When Peng Liyuan stepped off the plane in Moscow, the whole world wanted to know who dressed the elegant first lady. The reporter released the secret——Ma Ke.

Peng Liyuan has been wearing Ma Ke's designs for more than a decade, a fact that was only highlighted recently when she was on her first state visit, accompanying her husband President Xi Jinping. The elegant and attractive Peng, formerly a popular singer, has been compared with the US' first lady Michelle Obama and France's Carla Bruni－ Sarkozy, since stepping off the airplane in Moscow on March 22. Suddenly, everyone was curious to know more about the first lady's wardrobe.

Even so, Ma prefers a low-key approach. “If you eat a tasty egg why would you want to see the hen?” she says of all the media attention.

Ma's relationship with Peng began 10 years ago after a concert in Guangzhou when a reporter told Peng she knew the designer behind the label Exception de Mixmind. Peng asked for an introduction because she was a fan of Ma's designs and had been wearing them for years.

The two naturally became friends. Ma says: “The painting reflects the painter, and clothes reflect both the designer and the wearer. Someone desires fame and wealth, or love and sympathy; what you have in your heart is reflected in the design. Those who don't share my philosophy won't buy my clothes. Peng is a caring person, devoted to charity and environmental protection, which is exactly what I'm doing now.”

However, regardless of the brand, Peng's support of Chinese labels has surprised millions of Chinese who favor foreign fashion brands.

“Instead she presented a vision of Chinese fashion, desiring to bring Chinese designers to the world stage，” says a western designer.

The first lady's double-breasted coat and her black leather handbag aren't available at any of exception's shops, though Exception's physical stores do have seen a rising number of visitors.

【1】The passage mainly discusses________.

A.the friendship between Peng Liyuan and her designer

B.the designer of the first lady Peng Liyuan's dress, Ma Ke

C.Peng Liyuan's clothes on her first state visit

D.the reactions to Peng Liyuan's first visit to Moscow

【2】In the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 Ma Ke mentioned “an egg and the hen” to show________.

A.paying such great attention to her was unnecessary

B.it is hard to explain “Which came first, the egg or the hen?”

C.the outcome was more important than the process

D.her dissatisfaction with the media attention on her dress

【3】What can be inferred from the passage?

A.First ladies compete with each other whenever they are together.

B.Peng's suits can be bought in Ma Ke's clothes stores.

C.Ma Ke offered to design the first lady's clothes through her friends.

D.Peng had liked Ma's designs long before she got to know her in the flesh.

【4】Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?

A.Peng wears the dress designed by a Chinese designer probably to support Chinese brands.

B.Many citizens found Peng Liyuan's choice quite unexpected.

C.After Peng Liyuan's visit to Moscow Ma Ke's clothes became more popular.

D.Black leather handbags like Peng's are widely sold in bag stores in big cities.

28、Last July, my parents and I went to visit my aunt and uncle in Seattle, a city on the northwest American coast. Dad did some research and had no difficulty in finding us cheap tickets online.

On the day of our flight, we had to wake up very early. When we checked our bags in, we found that one bag weighed too much, so we had to pay a fine. After that, dad insisted that we go and have some breakfast at the airport restaurant. We had a lot of fun watching many different people there. Then we realized it was getting late, so we rushed to the gate. It took one hour for everyone to get on the plane, but finally the door was shut and we were on our way!

I think my favorite experience during our trip was our visit to Mount Rainier, a volcano near Seattle. It was nothing like I had expected. Before we left, my aunt lent us hats to protect us from getting sunburned, so I supposed that it would be very hot. Imagine my surprise when we drove up the mountain and I discovered the top was covered with snow and ice.!

My uncle led us to a small path beyond the main trails to increase our chances of seeing wildlife. We walked over a small hill, and suddenly before us there appeared a field of snow. Small wild flowers grew up through the snow; underneath the snow we could hear rushing water—a small stream. Little animals stood still to avoid being noticed; tiny birds rose into the air. It was the most beautiful sight that I’d ever seen.

【1】What ticket did the father buy for the family?

A．Bus

B．Ship

C．Train

D．Airplane

【2】Why did they pay a fine?

A．Because they got up late.

B．Because they didn’t wait in line.

C．Because they came to the airport late.

D．Because their bag was overweight.

【3】What was the writer’s most impressive experience?

A．The flight to Seattle

B．The breakfast in the airport

C．The visit to Mount Rainier

D．The discovery of a small stream

【4】Why did they choose a small path instead of the main trails?

A．To enjoy more of the wildlife

B．To take a shortcut to save time

C．To avoid the snowy road

D．To avoid being attacked by animals

29、Proms (高中舞会) are big news in Britain these days. They are often held in June or July, around the end of exam time or the end of term. The idea is to have fun with your school friends and celebrate your time and achievements at school. 【1】 A prom organizer provides everything for the special event including the party location, food, music and clothes.

Clothes and beauty

Young people like to dress up for their prom. For the special night lots of girls swap their uniform for an elegant evening dress and high heels and boys dress up in a suit with a tie and smart shoes.

The right hairstyle and make-up are important too. Some beauty salons offer a special “prom dear” which includes hair, make-up, eyelashes, nails and a spray tan (晒黑喷雾). 【2】

Cars

If the budget is not a problem, some will hire a sports car. Other young people like to travel by truck or in large 4x4 vehicles. 【3】 Part of the fun for some prom-goers is to drive around town in their best clothes and make sure that everyone sees them.

Money

The school prom is big business. According to a recent report the average prom costs parents over ￡200 per teenager. The cost can include dinner, new clothes, shoes, a visit to the hairdressers, a spray tan and probably car hire.

【4】 Some teenagers work part-time to cover their prom expenses. Popular jobs include babysitting, shop work and working as a waiter or waitress.

An American tradition

【5】 Many adults see the prom as an import from the USA. They say that American TV programs and films such as ‘High School Musical’ have a big influence on their kids and those parents are not such abig fan.

A．A tan is fashionable with both boys and girls.

B．The party can start on the way to the dinner or dance.

C．Parents particularly like to do the “deal” in a formal way.

D．Some pupils also have a school prom when they finish primary school.

E．Not all families have money to spend on their teenager's prom of course.

F．Frankly speaking, the modem British school prom is not popular with some parents.

G．The school can organize the prom or they can pay a professional organization to arrange it.

31、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

The view that the spirit of adventure no longer has any scope for its enterprise seems, at first glance, depressingly true. The highest mountains have been scaled; the deepest seas plumbed. Maps today no longer contain huge blanks marked "Unknown Territory", nor do they make random guesses at the shapes of 【1】 land-masses. All major journeys of exploration to 【2】 the true shape and nature of the globe have been made in the past. It was left to us to fill in the details with 【3】 which once would have been considered impossible. The gaps have been 【4】. What next?

The obvious answer, of course, is that man is now looking upwards into space. Discoveries are being made at such a tremendous rate that even authors of science-fiction are finding it difficult to keep up with them and have to tax their imagination to invent bigger and better space-craft. Satellites sending signals as they swing round our globe have become 【5】.

Astronauts have successfully landed on the moon and its entire surface has been photographed. The information that satellites may provide fueling stations for manned rockets no longer strikes us as preposterous. If thirty years ago, a scientist has urged that we send messages into outer space in the hope of receiving an answer, he would have been regarded as either irresponsible or mad. Now, anything seems 【6】.

From dreams like these, we return to earth with a bump. Trips into space are all very well, but they are not for us; we must 【7】 ourselves with our own, much-traveled world. The earth itself is the training-ground for adventurous spirits, for "adventure" need not mean the seeking out of something new. A person can be called adventurous when he finds out something for himself, and it does not matter how many times the discovery has been made before. No one would say that men who set out now to cross the forbidding Antarctic are less enterprising than their predecessors who tried to do the same thing. The little boy who climbs the small hill that 【8】 his town, or even he who tries to climbs and fails, has precisely the same spirit that led Hillary to climb Everest. For the bold spirit and inquiring mind, there are inexhaustible possibilities. So long as there are people willing to 【9】 places that are well-known, there will be those who will, one day, set foot on remote and 【10】 shores.
