21、Thirteen-year-old American Jessica Goldstone wants to be a fashion designer when she finishes school. She thinks her designs would be more exciting than clothes bought from stores. But until this month, Jessica has never touched a sewing machine(缝纫机).
After her first class, Jessica and six other girls aged 9 to 13 said that sewing was fun, cool and challenging.
These students at Fabrics’ Sew Fun class show that the sewing machine is becoming popular again.
“There have been a lot of teens getting excited about sewing,” said a sewing company worker Donna Smith. “Some of them come from the Project Runway TV show,” she said. This TV show is an exciting weekly contest to make a great fashion designer. Every week one contestant (参赛者) fails the test and has to leave the contest.
The number of people who joined sewing class summer camps grew by 10 percent this year. That’s good news for companies that make sewing machines and publish sewing magazines. The Singer Sewing Company sold nearly 3 million sewing machines in the United States last year. This is about twice as many as in 1999.
Sewing machines have been around for more than 150 years, but they have changed a lot since your grandmother was a girl.
Spencer Carmel started sewing lessons after getting a sewing machine for her 11th birthday. She has sewn a lot by hand, but she wants to make more difficult things. Spencer’s class recently made hats.
Another member of the class, Kelsey Oen, 9 years old, needed time to get used to her machine, but soon she could use it well. By the end of the class, Kelsey was happy and wearing her new hat.
【1】The passage is written to ________.
A. teach how to sew clothes

A. They don’t really care much for it.
B. They are very interested in it.

【3】According to the passage, “ Project Runway” is a _______.

22、Baths in Japan
In many western countries people do not bathe (沐浴) every day. Sometimes they bathe only once a week. Sometimes they bathe two or three times a week. They do not bathe often because the weather is cold or because hot water is expensive. They use electricity or wood to boil the water. Electricity and wood cost a lot of money. In cold countries people usually do not feel they are dirty if they do not have a bath.
In Japan people bathe very often. Most people have a bath every day. When the weather is hot they sometimes have two or three baths a day. They bathe in very hot water. Usually the water is almost boiling. They believe that these very hot baths also stop them from falling ill.
Each house has its own bathroom but there are also big bathhouses for everybody. They are found everywhere in Japan. In the bathhouse there is one part for men and one part for women. The bath is usually three meters wide, three meters long and about one meter deep: halfway down there is a narrow (狭窄的) seat that goes all the way around the bath. Many people use the bath but it is not dirty. Before a person gets into the big bath, they wash themselves first, and then get into the big bath. The person stays there for a short time. When they get out of the bath, they wash their body with soap and water. After the soap is all washed away, the person gets into the big bath again. Soap is not used in the big bath.
The water in the big bath is changed quite often. The water is also very hot. In some places people hit the water with sticks first. They do this to make the water cooler. Then the men get into the bath very slowly and carefully. When a man gets into a bath, he says. "Excuse me." He does this because most of the hot water comes directly out of the ground. In other places people boil the water with a big fire. In a small bath at home sometimes people light a fire under the bath. When the water is hot, people in the family take a bath one by one.
【1】Which of the following is not true about baths?
A. Taking baths can help people relax themselves.
B. Taking baths can refresh people.
C. Taking baths can keep people clean.
D. Taking baths can make people nervous.
【2】What do people use to boil water in many western countries?

C. Coal. D. Straw.
【3】What is the size of a public bath?
A. Three meters long, three meters wide and about three meters deep.
B. Three meters long, one meter wide and about three meters deep.

23、Rome, Paris and New York are the world’s top fashion cities, all of which have produced some of the top trends, from fashionable skirts to the hottest new shoes. But have you ever wondered about the negative ideas that they have enforced?
In April 2016, the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) in Britain banned an ad from Gucci that featured models dancing around and having fun, because they were all extremely skinny. Banning ads due to the models’ extreme figures isn’t new. The ASA banned an ad in 2015 for the same reason. In France, it has been ruled that models are to provide a doctor’s no providing that they are at a healthy weight.
So what is the healthy weight for models? Twenty years ago, the average fashion model weighed 8% less than the average woman. Today, they weigh 23 less.
People may think that being at an unhealthy weight will help them gain the benefits that the models do. This provides a standard of beauty, and therefore people who want to achieve those things may attempt to obtain them through unhealthy ways. People may think that they are overweight, due to the images of models’ thin figures. They see something wrong with their bodies whether they are overweight or not. This is a key factor in a lowered body image, low self-esteem, depression and possibly even eating disorders.
I’m not blaming the fashion industry by any means. It’s not their fault that many people look up to the models and expect to live a life like theirs. I am glad that the ASA is raising its voices when discussing the growing issue of body images in the fashion industry. By banning photos and videos, speaking out against them and pushing for doctor’s notes from the models, it’s pushing for the ideas that the traditional fashion industry’s body image demands should be changed and something more needs to be questioned.
【1】According to the text, why was one of Gucci’s ads banned?
A. Because the models didn’t act according to the rule
B. Because its models are much too thin.
C. Because none of its models had a doctor’s note
D. Because its models were dancing in an unhealthy way
【2】We can infer from the numbers mentioned in paragraph 3 that .
A. many women on a diet to become models
B. people don’t know why models weigh less
C. models are becoming thinner with time going by
D. the healthy weight for models hasn’t been decided .
【3】What does the fourth paragraph mainly show?
A. The changes in the standard of beauty B. The benefits of becoming thin figures.
C. The negative effects of models images D. people’s attitudes towards models’ images
【4】What is the author’s tone of writing this passage?
A. Objective B. Hopeful.
C. Critical. D. Humorous.
24、The Education Secretary Michael Gove said all schools should follow the example set in the Far East where pupils are expected to follow a longer day and get less time off. In a speech, he warned the current shape of the academic year was created to fit the needs of an agricultural economy, with pupils taking time of in October to help harvest. The lack of time spent in the classroom is particularly damaging to children from poor backgrounds, Mr. Gove said.
Some of the Government's flagship academies- state schools run independent of local council controls- are using their independence to reform the school day, he said. Some open at 8:30 am and expect children to remain until at least 4:30 pm to undertake sport, music and other extra-curricular activities. Other schools such as David Young Community Academy operate four-week summer holidays for fear that children suffer an academic fall during the traditional six-week break.
Mr. Gove said all schools should follow a similar model to enable the nation to catch up with education systems elsewhere in the world. But the calls are likely to infuriate (激怒) teaching unions who are fiercely protective of the six-week summer break which they claim is vital to allow staff to recharge their batteries.
Earlier this month, the National Union of Teachers actually called for a shorter school day. But addressing the Spectator Education Conference in central London, Mr. Gove said a “higher level of effort is expected on behalf of students, parents and teachers” in nations such as Singapore and elsewhere in the Far East.
He insisted the Government was changing teachers' pay and working conditions which meant they could be paid more for taking on extra duties, allowing heads to organize their staff “in a way to get more out of young people”
“The expectation is that to succeed, hard work is at the heart of everything,” he said. “If you look at the length of the school day and summer holiday in England- and we compare it to the extra tuition and support children are receiving elsewhere then we are fighting or actually running in this global race in a way without doubt we start with a significant obstacle (障碍)”
【1】Which of the following is right according to the passage?
A．Some schools in the UK have prolonged the school day.
B．A shorter school day helps employ more young teachers.
C．Teachers in the Far East long to have a longer holiday.
D．A longer school day makes no difference to poor children.
【2】What may the National Union of teachers in the UK expect?
A．A longer summer break.
B．A longer school day.
C．A higher level of effort.
D．A bigger input of tuition
【3】What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?
A．Hard work is at the heart of everything.
B．The length of the school day is disadvantageous to England.
C．England has lost the global race in education.
D．The government offers a higher pay to attract more teachers.
【4】Where is the text most likely from?
A．A work report.
B．A notebook.
C．A biography.
D．A newspaper.
