26、With the start of the new term, the students around the country exchange their fun and fashionable clothes for boring school uniforms. But not all schools are fashion deserts. Colorful sports shoes, school bags, T-shirts and even drink containers are breathing life into campuses.
"The uniform makes us look like a bunch of clones, especially when we are doing morning exercises on the playground," said Qing Pei, a Senior 2 from Shanghai Qibao High School. "But the boys wear different sports shoes and girls have different decorations in their hair. These are the areas where you can express
yourself," said Qing.
Although it might be strange for boys to talk about fashion, they do care about what they wear in school, especially shoes, according to Qing.
"Nike and Adidas basketball shoes, although they are still the must-have items for many of my friends, are becoming out-of-date," Qing added. He explained that "Since Liu Xiang ran so fast in Athens, running shoes are becoming popular in this autumn. "
"Still in fashion are the various baseball caps and American-style T-shirts with random (随意的) English words printed on them," said Qing. "The accuracy of the written message is not important. Often, the words are misspelt. Sometimes they do not even make sense, "Qing said with a smile.
Besides sports shoes and T-shirts, styles and colors of school bags are another opportunity for students to express their taste in fashion. Some bags are made more eye-catching by decorating them with small hanging dolls.
Other fashionable items are the colorful drink containers which are now popular among girls this term.
"Some teachers are surprised to see a teenager sucking a bottle like this at school and criticize it as a childish regression (退化). But some girls just love it," said Yang Rui, a Senior 3. from High School attached to Xi’an Jiaotong University.

27、 Genghis Khan(成吉思汗)remains to this day one of the most successful men to have walked the Earth. Rising from an outcast to be the ruler of the largest land empire to have ever existed, he introduced an alphabet and an official form of money, united a kingdom of tribes at war with each other, and conquered most of the known world. His empire spread from Poland to Japan. It is estimated that one in every 200 men on the planet today is related to Genghis Khan. But there are no accounts of the events that surrounded his death and burial; only a mystery focused around an area known as the Forbidden Zone.
From the time of the Khan's death in 1227 up until 1991 the Forbidden Zone was as off-limits as any place in the world. Shortly after he died, the surviving Mongol leaders ordered a group of 50 fierce families, known as the Uryangqai of the Woods, to occupy this land and kill anyone who entered without permission.
They made exceptions only for the funeral processions(队伍)of the Khan's direct descendants, who were also allowed to be buried there. This extreme degree of secrecy has led many to the conclusion that the body of Genghis Khan himself lies in a tomb somewhere in this zone, along with some of the treasures of an empire vaster than those of Napoleon and Alexander the Great combined. When the U.S.S. R.(前苏联)took over Mongolia in 1924; they killed all the Uryangqai of the Woods just as they tried to erase the memory of the great Khan. The Forbidden Zone -still remained off-limits, however. It wasn't until the fall of the U.S.S.R. in 1991 that entering the Forbidden Zone became possible for scientists and historians. Even today, eight centuries after it quietly rested, the Forbidden Zone has been visited by very few.

A.He was the ruler of the largest empire in history.

C.An exact number of 200 people are related to him today.
D.He was buried in what is known as the Forbidden Zone.
【2】What can we learn about the Uryangqai of the Woods?
A.They buried Genghis Khan's body in secret.
B.They were ordered to occupy the Forbidden Zone.
C.They were killed because they hated Genghis Khan.
D.They forbade everyone from entering the Forbidden Zone.
【3】What would the author probably write about next?
A.Who visited the Forbidden Zone.
B.When the Forbidden Zone was discovered.
C.Why the U.S.S.R. killed all the Uryangqai.
D.How the great Khan conquered the known world.
【4】What would be the best title for the text?

B.The Forbidden Zone, a Remaining Mystery
C.The Discovery of Genghis Khan's Tomb
D.The Bravery of the Uryangqai of the Woods
28、Today is Sarah’s birthday. She is seventy-five. We asked a few old friends to dinner.
Like most elderly people, I suppose, we spent most of the evening talking about old times. Thirty years ago, the village used to be a quiet place. Now it has changed. Every Sunday hundreds of cars pass through the village at what I think a dangerous speed. They make the village almost as noisy as the streets of a large town. As a boy I enjoyed riding on the backs of the farm horses. Things are different now. Today there are very few horses working on the farms. The farm workers today drive tractors, not horses. A man is not of much use on a farm unless he knows all about machines. Now almost every house in the village has a TV set. Is it a good thing for children to spend the evening sitting in front of a TV set? When I was young I did not waste my time indoors. I would spend the long summer evenings outdoors. I would play with my friends, go fishing or walk by the river. When my grandchildren asked me the reason why I haven’t bought a TV set, I tell them there are many books I still want to read. I can’t find time for both reading and watching TV.
【1】The old like to talk about _______.
A. themselves B. others C. the past D. nothing
【2】When I was a boy, I _______ riding on farm horses.
A. used to see people
B. disliked
C. was fond of
D. saw some elderly people
【3】Which is NOT right according to the passage?
A. In the past the village was a quiet place.
B. It is a good time for children to watch TV all evening.
C. On Sundays many cars pass through the village at a dangerous speed.
D. When I was young I didn’t waste my time indoors.
【4】I would rather _______ than _______.
A. watch TV; do some reading
B. play with friends; go fishing
C. do some reading; watch TV
D. go fishing; play with friends
29、Here’s a simple question — answer it honestly, because your response could boost the level of pleasure in your daily life, put off dementia (痴呆), and even help you live longer. How many hours did you spend reading last week?
Recently, when researcher Mathew P. White and his workmates at the Yale School of Public Health dug into 12 years of information about the reading habits and health of more than 3,600 men and women, a hopeful pattern became known. Book readers who report more than three hours of weekly reading are 23 percent less likely to die than those who read only newspapers or magazines.
To understand why and what each of us can do to get the most out of our words, start by asking the same question the Yale team did. What is it about reading books that increases our brain power while reading newspapers doesn’t?
For one, the researchers suggest that chapter books encourage “deep reading”. Unlike, say, looking through a page of headlines, reading a book forces your brain to think creatively and make connections from one chapter to another, and to the outside world. When you make connections, so does your brain. Over time, these neural networks (神经网络) can promote quicker thinking, which provides greater protection against dementia.
Secondly, reading books, especially novels, has been shown to increase empathy (共鸣) and emotional intelligence. Developing social tools such as empathy and emotional intelligence can lead to more (and more positive) human interaction, which in turn can lower stress levels — both of which are proven to help you live longer and healthier.
That’s not to say that magazines, newspapers, and online articles are of no good. Reading anything that fills your mind seems to bring about mental benefits. When it comes to words, addiction is encouraged. Because it pays to increase your word power — today, tomorrow, and for the rest of your life.
【1】What does the underlined word “boost” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A.Remove.
B.Reduce.
C.Improve.
D.Create.
【2】How did White carry out the research?
A.By experimentation.
B.By direct observation.
C.By interviewing in person.
D.By referring to former facts.
【3】In which way does reading books increase our brain power?
A.Promoting brain growth.
B.Preventing us from ageing.
C.Keeping us free from stress.
D.Strengthening neural networks.
【4】What’s the author’s attitude to reading online articles?
A.Negative.
B.Positive.
C.Uncertain.
D.Unconcerned.
