Toni Morrison was an American writer who received the Nobel Prize in Literature. Her novels Beloved, Song of Solomon and others explored the way African-Americans search for freedom and identity in a country obsessed(受困扰的)with skin color. Morrison was nearly 40 when she published her first novel The Bluest Eye in 1970. The Nobel Prize committee described her writing as language itself, a language she wants to liberate from race. Her novels discussed America's past, focusing on black history and the effects of slavery and racism. She called her characters“the unfree at the heart of the democratic(民主的) experiment” .
Toni Morrison was born in 1931. She attended Howard University, a university in Washington, D. C. , which only admitted African-Americans. At Howard, she read African, British and American literature, including writers William Faulkner and Virginia Woolf. After a short marriage, she became a single mother of two sons and worked as a book editor in New York.
Her first book The Bluest Eye follows a young girl named Pecola Breedlove, who grows up in Lorain, Ohio. Consistently bullied for her dark skin and made to feel ugly and unloved, Pecola prays for the miracle of blue eyes-a characteristic of white American beauty. As a result of this impossible desire, Pecola's life begins to collapse. Several publishers rejected this book but it impressed The New York Times' book critic John Leonard, who believed Morrison was an important new voice. He said her writing was “so charged with pain and wonder that the novel becomes poetry” .
In 1988, she won the Pulitzer Prize for her novel Beloved, which is based on the true story of an African-American enslaved woman. It became a best-seller and was later made into a film with Oprah Winfrey. Many Americans admired her as the country's greatest living writer, including former President Barack Obama.
Morrison enjoyed her literary fame and was proud of her Nobel Prize won in 1993.
24. What can we learn about Toni Morrison from the text
A. She only read African-American literature at university.
B. Morrison was about 40 when she received the Nobel Prize.
C. Her novels concentrated on the Americans obsessed with skin color.
D. She attended a university which only accepted African-Americans.
25. Why does the girl in the novel The Bluest Eye pray for blue eyes
A. Because she supposes she looks more beautiful with blue eyes.
B. Because she wants to make sure whether she has magic power.
C. Because she thinks blue eyes can free herself from the sufferings.
D. Because she believes blue eyes can stop herself from being a slave.
26. How did many Americans think of Toni Morrison
A. They considered her as a common writer.
B. They couldn't think highly of her enough.
C. They felt that her novels were not so fascinating.

If you look around your city, you might spot girls wearing hanfu in subways or people wearing T-shirts with Chinese characters on the streets. A new trend is taking hold in China-guochao, or “China-chic”
The term characterizes the rise of China's native fashion trends. It has expanded the concept of“Made in China”, which has been recognized as the representation of Chinese culture and aesthetics(美学)offered by homegrown Chinese brands.
China-chic came into the spotlight in 2018. Before that, big-name foreign companies, such as NIKE, ADIDAS and PUMA, dominated the world market. But that year, Chinese sportswear brand Li-Ning changed things up. During the 2018 New York Fashion Week, Li-Ning introduced its Taoism-inspired Wu Dao collection. The collection not only had a trendy look, but also included elements of traditional Chinese culture. It immediately grabbed attention at home and abroad. As a result, the company recorded 20 percent profit growth in 2018, marking the first time the brand's revenue had hit the 10-billion-yuan mark since its founding.
The trend to embrace domestic brands has since spread rapidly to various sectors and products, from food and drinks to clothing, mobile phones and electric vehicles. For example, White Rabbit, whose sweet candy brings back childhood memories for many, launched its perfume and lip balm. “We want White Rabbit to be a brand that young people want to share, "said Shen Qinfeng, the company's marketing manager.
Now, the guochao trend is “moving to the next stage, where its success will rely, first and foremost, on gaining cultural confidence rather than Western recognition. ” according to Kerra Zhou, founder of brand strategy consultancy Kerrisma. No matter how the guochao trend develops, there's one thing that won't change: Behind the craze is people's positive attitude toward the country's development and their recognition of growing confidence in national culture, added Zhou.
28. What's the function of Paragraph 1
A. To introduce a new trend in China.
B. To highlight the popularity of guochao.
C. To describe a common scene on the street.
D. To show Chinese brands beat foreign companies.
29. Which of the following statements about guochao is correct
A. Li-Ning stimulated the development of guochao
B. Guochao is a new trend popular throughout the world.
C. Guochao refers to people's preference for ancient culture.
D. It's before 2018 that guochao had received great attention
30. What may Kerra Zhou agree with
A. chineseis still following the western trend
B. Guochao's success relies on western recognition
C. National pride arouses the passion for guochao.
D. Cultural awarenessis the key to winning market share
31. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. The Popularity of Native Brands B. The Boom of China-chic
C. The Recognition of National Culture D. The Root of Guochao
D
According to the IUCN Red List 32, 000 species are threatened with extinction. Although we might be working hard to help some species come back from the brink, we might also be eating some threatened species without even realising it.
Searching industrial fishing records, researchers identified almost 100 endangered species being sold as seafood, and this is done legally. When sold, these fish are not required to be labelled according to species, so consumers have no way of knowing what they're eating, let alone whether they're endangered or not.
The team stresses that this is only the tip of the iceberg, as they only looked at a specific section of records and excluded groups of fish such as sharks, which are commonly eaten in Australia, Europe, and some Asian countries.
To solve the mess we're creating in the ocean, the researchers have come up with some ways, one of which is to expand our idea of seafood to include jellyfish(水母).
That might sound a little unusual, but it's not the first time scientists have suggested it as a food source. And with jellyfish being one of a minority of wild animals that scientists think might be actually increasing in numbers around the world, it makes a lot of sense. With jellyfish as a food source, other endangered species may be kept in the sea.
Of course, there are other ways to help keep endangered species off the menu. Carissa Klein, University of Queensland(UQ)conservation scientist, thinks that the labelling of seafood needs to be improved, so that people are more aware of what they are eating. Besides, it can be also important if the cooperation between fisheries and conservation policies can be better promoted. “We would never consider eating mountain gorillas or elephants, both of which are endangered, ”added Klein.
32. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 3 refer to
A. Almost 100 endangered fish are sold as seafood.
B. Consumers don't know the fish they're eating are endangered.
C. Fish are not required to be labelled according to species when sold.
D. Researchers only looked at a particular part of records and excluded some groups of fish.
33. What can you infer from Paragraph 4
A. The population of jelly fish might be increasing around the world.
B. Eating jellyfish sounds so unusual that people should not give it a try.
C. Making jellyfish as a food source is a new idea put forward by scientists.
D. The consumption of jelly fish may help other endangered species in the sea.
34. Why does the last paragraph mention "mountain gorillas” and “elephants”
A. To emphasize the importance of labelling the seafood that people are eating.
B. To state the fact that people would never consider eating mountain gorillas or elephants.
C. To support the suggestion for fisheries' better partnership with protection policies.
D. To inform the readers that mountain gorillas and elephants are endangered animals.
35. Where is this text most likely from
A. A science fiction. B. A government report.
C. A brochure. D. A magazine.

W: Hi, is there anything I can help you with today, sir
M: Yes, A shopkeeper down the road said that you have clothes for big people. I've been looking around this entire area for the last hour, but I have not had any luck yet, I really hope you have what I am looking for.
W: Yes, I think we may be able to help you out, In fact, the entire second floor is completely for people who are considered big. If you walk up to the second floor, you will see there are many fancy clothes to choose from at very good prices.
M: Really
W: Yeah, that's true. The clothes are all fine-designed. I'm sure you can find your favorite ones.
M: Wow, this is wonderful. I don't understand why I've never heard of this clothes shop before,

W: How do you usually get to work
M: I usually ride my bile. How about you
W: I feel that I can see more when I ride a bike, but I often drive a car, Do you have a car
M: No. I used to have one, Once I read an article about car and air pollution, so I decided to sell it. Now I'm using my bicycle to get around and I find that I don't really need a car.
W: Maybe I should sell my car too,
M: You could try. It would save you a lot of money on gas, insurance and requires. And you would get lots of exercise, too!
W: You're right. I really need to lose a few pounds. Having a car has made me lazy. I never end up walking any where!
M: Let's go to a car dealership. I'll help you try to sell your car for a good price.
W: Let's go!

W: When I was younger I was in an organization called he Guides, Guides are girls who are between 10 and 14 who get together once a week to do things like having competitions and playing games and going camping. I really enjoyed being in the Guides. There's a similar organization called the Scouts far boys although I think these days girls can be Scouts and maybe boys can be Guides-I'm not sure, Anyway I used to go camping quite a lot with Guides. I remember I went one weekend and it was the same weekend as my birthday and I was going to be 13 that weekend. We had a really good weekend, We cooked different things and we played games. We didn't really get much sleep as you generally don't when you're sleeping in a tent with a lot of people at your age. You tend to stay up all night.
So on my birthday which was an Sunday, everybody sang Happy Birthday to me and they gave me a cake and they wrote a card for me and I had a really nice day. That evening I went home and I was so tired and I started to unpack my things And then the doorbell rang and my friend arrived and then one by one- it was very strange- all of my friends arrived, and what had happened was my parents had organized a wonderful birthday party for me! I was so excited. We had a great time. We went bowling and it was really a day to remember.
