[2022·河北衡水模拟]Kids are cool to wear blue jeans and T shirts today. It is fashionable like that. Fashion refers to the styles of dress that are currently popular. Fashion goes beyond just clothes, though. It's important for some people to wear only the latest fashions and styles. For others, though, keeping up with trends isn't that important. The one thing that stays the same with fashion is this: it always changes!
During the 1960s and 1970s, Hippies made bell bottomed blue jeans(喇叭裤)popular. Also, in the 1980s, Michael Jackson made parachute pants(降落伞裤)all the fashion. Now try to find these items in today's clothing stores!
Do you know why fashions change The answer is probably as simple as the fact that people change. Over time, the new replaces the old. People are influenced greatly by popular culture, including musicians, movies stars, conductors, composers, as well as popular films, television shows, books and music. We are also influenced by the fashion industry's advertising.
The stars of popular culture are always searching for a new angle to maintain(保持)their popularity. Often these new angles come in the form of new clothing or hairstyles. When people see these new styles, they often want to imitate(模仿)their favorite stars. To do so, they seek out the latest fashions to make themselves look like the people they want to imitate. In this way, fashions evolve and change over time.
Clothes have been used to separate people into groups for many years. Even today, brand name, clothing that is more expensive than other types of clothing can be used by some people to make themselves different from others.
Unfortunately, this can often have the impact of distancing certain groups from others. Don't forget that it's always OK to develop your own sense of style that is unique and separate from what the fashion world determines! Stay true to yourself and let your personality-not your clothes-speak for who you are!
4.What does the example of bell bottomed blue jeans and parachute pants in Paragraph 2 suggest
A.Fashion always changes.
B.Stars are always influential.
C.People have different dressing styles.
D.Hippies and Michael Jackson are good designers.
5.What causes the changes of fashions
A.Advertisements change gradually.
B.Popular culture influences people.
C.Movie stars are changing over time.
D.New films and shows replace the old.
6.What can we learn from the text
A.Fashion is all about clothes.
B.The author has gone out of fashion.
C.Clothes may separate and distance people.
D.People like imitate others', dressing style.

Ⅰ.阅读理解
Sitting in the classroom, I found I couldn't read the board. Within a few days, I was diagnosed with a severe sight impairment. In fact, I was practically blind. Amazingly, I'd managed to reach the age of 13 without anyone realizing, not even me! “It all makes sense now,” Dad said.
As a kid living on a farm, I was forever falling over things. I was known as the clumsy one to my parents and four siblings. And now, I was being told that I saw the world differently.
Refusing to let my diagnosis hold me back, I continued doing everything I loved, including milking the cows. When I was 22, I met Lance at a farm dance and fell in love with him. Later, Lance and I married and had amazing kids. Life was busy and fun. Nowadays, the children are all grown up and I have grandkids to keep me busy.
Over years, I've enjoyed lovely family holidays, but sometimes felt like Lance or the kids were being too protective of me. So I was thrilled when I heard about a travel company that takes those who are blind or have low vision on Aussie adventures. Excited, I booked myself onto a trip to the Gold Coast. Since then, I travelled a lot. As I stood by the tall ships in Sydney Harbor, the fresh sea air gently whipped my hair. While we can't see the sights like others, our imaginations take us to awesome places. At a beach, I can picture waves crashing and dolphins jumping in the air! And I'll appreciate things that those with vision can't. I'm not missing out— my life is beautiful. I don't want people to feel sorry for me. I'm so lucky to have a wonderful family and heaps of experiences.
Life is precious — you don't need vision to “see” that.

Helloeveryone. It'sagreathonorformetohavethechancetosharemyviewsabouttheeffectsofmusiconus. Music is playing an important part in our study and daily life.

[2022·山东济南模拟]LonelyPlanet names the best destinations for 2022
Nepal
It's nearly impossible to discuss Nepal without talking about Mount Everest. But this Himalayan nation has so much more on offer for travelers who aren't climbing the world's highest mountain. In the remote region of Mustang, tourists can explore the high desert and meet locals at homestays along the way, dining on Nepali specialties.
Mauritius
Mauritius is in the Indian Ocean about 700 miles east of Madagascar. Here are some reasons to visit this underrated African getaway. It's inhabited by a multi racial, peaceful people, covered in great golf courses, offering various water sports, luxurious resorts, an old colonial capital, great food, one of the world's best botanical gardens, good nightlife, and great sightseeing.
Norway
Enjoying nature in Norway is an attractive activity. While some of the activities are suitable for the young, energetic and fearless, most — such as hiking, cycling, skiing and snowmobiling — can be enjoyed by anyone. Whether you're here for endless summer possibilities, or for snow sports and the amazing Northern Lights in winter, these activities are an exciting means of getting close to nature.
Cook Islands
This group of 15 islands in the South Pacific was at the top of many LonelyPlanet staffers' wish lists for 2022 and beyond. What's on offer Water centric activities like snorkeling, diving and fishing, not to mention a look at the native Maori community in Te Vara Nui Village.
1.What activity can visitors do in Nepal
A.Enjoy good nightlife.
B.Play golf.
C.Do water activities.

All human societies play games. Kicking a ball can be found everywhere whether just a ball of cloth, or a skin stuffed__with feathers or air.
But complex games and team sports have tended to arise in big civilizations—the higher the cultural level of a society, the greater the complexity of interaction, and hence perhaps the more complex the forms of sport.
This is not always the case. The ancient Greeks, for example, preferred individual not team sports. But in China for well over 2, 000 years, people played the game of “kickball”—cuju. The members were often young men from wealthy families though there were also professional kickballers, whom you could stick with in your team as sleepers.
Cuju was played as entertainment at court banquets or the reception of foreign ambassadors. Even emperors played kickball.
As you'd expect in a Confucian society, kickball clubs were keen on the key qualities of mercy and courtesy. A great player was one who showed “the spirit of the game”. The “Ten Essentials of Kickball” included respect for other players, polite behaviors and team spirit. There was to be no ungentlemanly behavior, no dangerous play, and no hogging(独占)the ball. In other words, as we used to say, “play up and play the game.”
What a contrast with the ancient Greek athletics where only victory counted and if that needed gamesmanship, or cruel professional fouls(犯规), then so be it.
As a way of national culture protection, cuju was listed into the first batch of China's intangible cultural heritages(非物质文化遗产)in 2006.
4.What does the underlined phrase “stuffed with” mean in paragraph 1
A.Filled with. B.Decorated with.
C.Surrounded with. D.Covered with.
5.What probably contributes to the complicated games
A.Teams. B.Interaction.
C.Society. D.Civilizations.
6.Who were the major members in a cuju team according to the text
A.Sleepers.
B.The rich young men.
C.Emperors.
D.The professional athletes.
7.What is the fifth paragraph mainly about
A.Kickball's popularity.
B.Kickball's development.
C.Kickball's importance.
D.Kickball's characteristics.
Ⅱ.语法填空

Then the good feeling goes away, 1.________ (leave)us wanting more. All 2.________ (taste)foods do this, but sugar has a particularly strong effect.

Java's Café is a fundamental extension of the Rochester experience, opening its arms to comfort coffee, tea, and dessert lovers alike. For the typical UR students, the Java's on Gibbs St. has become a place of solace during stressful testing times, and on more heartwarming occasions, a social hub.
Slowly approaching its thirties, Java's has enjoyed a good reputation in its local. In 1978, Java Joe created a coffee farm in Hawaii. With great dedication to his craft, the great master of coffee beans made his way to Rochester then. In 1992, Joe decided to start selling coffee at the Public Market and opened up a store on Gibbs St. with the help of Michael Calabrese. This location, next to the Eastman School of Music, is the first of many shops Java Joe opened. As a lover of the blues, Joe enthusiastically decorated this flagship store with artistic and musical influence.
After Gibbs location, Joe planted Java Joe's where he was first starting out—in the Public Market. Later, Java Joe's moved to a nearby building, and received a name change—Java's at the Market Coffee Roasters. This building served as a place where those who visited would often catch a glimpse of Joe skillfully roasting his coffee beans in the dancing flames and cultivating his drinks with care. However, in 1997 he licensed “Java Joe's” to Calabrese, who then renamed the Gibbs Cafe to what we know today—Java's Café.
Joe remained in the Public Market location until he was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Joe died of lung cancer at 68. The influence he had poured into his business is well known and highly regarded. He has won many awards in his life.
The next time you head down to Gibbs St. for your morning cup, keep in mind the extraordinary story of how that cup came to be, all thanks to Java Joe.
1.What does the underlined word “solace” in paragraph 1 probably mean
A.Tension. B.Anxiety.
C.Safety. D.Relief.

A.The name of the shop keeps unchanged up to now.
B.It was popular with the locals and students as well.
C.Java Joe had the ownership of the shop in 1997.
D.It is the flagship store and has won several awards.
3.What is special about Java's at the Market Coffee Roasters
A.Joe's specially made coffee beans.
B.Its super quality coffee and service.

D.Its attraction to the music school students.

Nowitwastimetoeatthecake. Mother shared it with the guests but to her surprise, the cake was a disaster! It was hard on the outside, and underdone on the inside. The taste was awful as well! Soon the twins realized that there was something wrong with their baked creation. They were really upset. “We've ruined your birthday,” James said hopelessly. “Yes, we are so sorry for this!” said Jenny with tears in her eyes.
Motherhuggedthetwinsandsaid, “Noproblemdear; itwasyourfirstattemptatbaking.” After hearing Mother's words, Jenny stopped crying. Mother continued to comfort them and said, “I am happy that you tried. Keep trying and never give up. This is the best birthday surprise of my life!” None of the guests said that the cake was not right because everyone knew that the twins had tried to do something new and this had been their first attempt. The hall sounded with praise and appreciation for the twins' efforts.
