At the school Art Festival, I was asked to design the costumes for three school plays, which many of my classmates and teachers thought were nice and novel. Everyone was amazed to see the actors wear my costumes onstage. This experience has made me realize that I am really good at drawing and have talent in fashion design, and has inspired me to pursue fashion design as my job. That way, I can combine work with my interests and strengths.
To find out how to get into the field of fashion design, I did some research about what kind of education and skills I might need. I found out that many premier fashion designers studied at fashion design institutes in London, Paris or Milan. I also looked up job ads for the fashion industry to see what abilities or qualities designers should have. For example, they must have a good sense of colors and proportions, be familiar with various fabrics such as cotton, wool and man-made fibers, be able to recognize styles and trends, and be creative.
After much thought, I decided to develop these skills and get the right qualifications by studying art at university. While I am there, I would like to work part-time for a fashion design company in order to learn from other designers—more is better when it comes to work experience. I am also thinking about trying my hand at CAD, which is becoming more and more popular in the fashion industry. Actually I don’t have to wait until I go to university to swing into action as there will be a workshop in my city next month which I am hoping to attend.
After graduation, I will seek a job as a fashion designer. One day, I hope to start my own clothing company. Clothes with designer labels in shops are generally thought to be too expensive. I want to design fashionable clothes that ordinary people can afford. Hopefully, all of my planning and preparation will lead to a great career in fashion design.
What inspired the author to pursue fashion design as a career
The job advertisement for a fashion design company.
His passion for color and proportion in fashion design.
The school Art Festival and positive feedback from classmates and teachers.
His desire to work in the fashion industry in Milan, Paris, or London.
25. What is the author’s ultimate goal as a fashion designer
To design affordable, fashionable clothes for ordinary people.
To work for a well-known fashion design company.
To create high-end, luxury clothing with designer labels.
To become a famous designer in Milan, Paris, or London.
26. Which of the following best describes the author
A student who is unsure about his future career path
A student who enjoys designing costumes for school plays.
A fashion enthusiast who is interested in fashion design as a career.
A fashion designer who has already started his own clothing company
27. What is the best title of the passage
A. Affordable Fashion for Everyone B. How to Get into the Fashion Industry
Discovering a Talent for Fashion Design D. The Importance of Art Festivals in Schools
C
Overlooking the Davis-Gant Varsity Soccer Field, a bed of overturned soil waits for further development. In a few years, this area will become a natural habitat and a playground for animals and residents. This peaceful area didn't appear naturally, but through planning and action taken by Catlin Gabel's Tiny Forest project launched by teacher Patrick Walsh.
Forests typically take hundreds of years to mature, with four stages of growth. "Tiny forests shorten the time through the planting of all four layers, " Walsh explained. The end result is a fast-growing, native forest in about 20 years. Over 600 plants from 43 species will be planted in the tiny forest, the first one in Oregon.
Walsh was inspired to build a tiny forest after hearing about this idea, which emerged in Japan and has taken hold in North America. He shared his vision with seniors in his class. The seniors researched tiny forests and made a proposal resulting in Clean Water Services donating 60 trees and $ 5, 000 from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Armed with these resources, Walsh and the students started working. "Something I didn't really expect was the outpouring of students' enthusiasm. Seeing students from all grades volunteered to contribute to the 'dirty work' really blew me away, " Walsh said.
Senior Megan Cover has been at the school since the first grade. "I'll graduate after working on this project, which is surely sad, but it's really rewarding and great to be a part of this project and do my bit. We're creating this educational space for many young kids, " Cover said.
Walsh summed up his goal of the project, which is to build a place where students can enjoy and learn about nature. "The forest will obviously not solve climate change, but it would deserve the efforts if the kids think about climate change and remember the importance of reforestation（重新造林）and trees when they look at the forest. "
28. What is special about tiny forests
A. They originated in North America. B. They are usually planted in schools.
C. They contain various types of trees. D. They become mature in a shorter time.
29. What surprised Walsh in the process of planting the tiny forest
A. The abundance of native tree species. B. Public concern about the environment.
C. The active participation of students. D. Support from local organizations.
30. How does Megan Cover feel about the project
A. Proud. B. Hopeful. C. Excited D. Grateful.
31. What does Walsh want the forest to function as for the students
A. A source of enjoyment. B. A warning.
C. A source of inspiration. D. A witness
D
Automation（自动化）was a hot topic. Nearly everyone agreed that people would be working less once computers and other kinds of automatic machinery became widespread. For optimists, this was a promise of liberation: At last humanity would be freed from constant toil, and we could all devote our days to more refined pursuits. But others saw a threat: Millions of people would be thrown out of work, and desperate masses would roam the streets. Looking back from 50 years hence, the controversy over automation seems a quaint and curious episode. The dispute was never resolved.
A. J. Hayes, a leader （and no relation to me）, wrote in 1964: Automation is not just a new kind of mechanization but a revolutionary force capable of overturning our social order. Whereas mechanization made workers more efficient--and thus more valuable--automation threatens to make them superfluous（过剩的）--and thus without value. The opinions I have cited here represent extreme positions, and there were also many milder views. But I think it's fair to say that most early students of automation, including both critics and enthusiasts, believed the new technology would lead us into a world where people worked much less.
As for economic consequences, worries about unemployment have certainly not gone away--not with job losses in the current recession approaching 2 million workers in our country alone. But recent job losses are commonly attributed to causes other than automation, such as competition from overseas or a roller-coaster financial system. In any case, the vision of a world where machines do all the work and people stand idly by has simply not come to pass.
The spread of automation outside of the factory has altered its social and economic impact in some curious ways. In many cases, the net effect of automation is not that machines are doing work that people used to do. Instead we've dispensed with the people who used to be paid to run the machines, and we've learned to run them ourselves. These trends contradict almost all the expectations of early writers on automation, both optimists and pessimists. So far, automation has neither liberated us from the need to work nor deprived us of the opportunity to work. Instead, we're working more than ever.
What about trades closer to my own vital interests Will science be automated Technology already has a central role in many areas of research; for example, genome sequences could not be read by traditional lab-bench methods. Replacing the scientist will presumably be a little harder than replacing the lab technician, but when a machine exhibits enough curiosity and tenacity, I think we'll just have to welcome it as a companion in zealous research. And if the scientist is elbowed aside by an automaton, then surely the science writer can't hold out either. I'm ready for my 15-hour workweek.
32. In Paragraph 1, the writer mainly wants to convey that ____.
A. automation results in unemployment on B. automation does more harm than good
C. the issue of automation is still in discussion D. automation brings in much convenience in life
33. According to A. J. Hayes, we can infer ____.
A. automation is more valuable than what we imagine
B. automation is a revolutionary force to better development
C. the disadvantages of automation far outweigh the advantages
D. the new technology would lead people into working much less
34. What does the underlined word possibly mean
A. Put. …. down for. B. Set. . . free from. C. Bring. . . into D. Take. . . away from.
35. What can we conclude from this passage
A. Automation should be accepted reasonably in development.
B. Traditional labor force will be replaced in the near future.
C. People needn't work so hard due to automation.
D. Automation results in more job losses in the writer's country.

These days, football is one of the most popular sports in the world. 36 Football as we know it today started in Great Britain, where the game was given new rules.
That football is such a simple game to play is perhaps the basis of its popularity. 37____ You don’t need expensive equipment; even the ball doesn’t have to cost much money. All over the world you can see kids playing to their hearts’ content with a ball made of plastic bags.
38 It is fun enough to attract millions of people. You do not have to be a fan to recognize the skill of professional players—how they use their bodies to pass, score and defend can be amazing to see—or to feel the excitement of a game ending with a surprising twist.
What’s more, football has become one of the best ways for people to communicate: it does not require words, but everyone understands it. 39 Take, for example, the famous football game on Christmas Day 1914. World War I had broken out months before, but British and German soldiers put down their guns and played football together—one moment of peace to remember during years of conflict.
“Some people believe football is a matter of life and death, ... ” said Bill Shankly, the famous footballer and manager. “ 40 ” This might sound funny, but one only has to think about the Earth to realize that our planet is shaped like a football.
It is also a game that is very cheap to play.
While others think football is just a matter of exercise.
I can assure you it is much, much more important than that.
It breaks down walls and brings people together on and off the field.
Besides, football can help people improve physical exercise and skills
The history of the game goes back over two thousand years to Ancient China.
Another factor behind football’s global popularity is the creativity and excitement on the field.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Even before I reached the tent, I knew there would be trouble. My little brother Andy was following me, with a sleeping bag, a flashlight, and his toy bear. My friends Wade and Bradley thought Andy would ruin everything. He would scared in the middle of the night and have to be taken back to the house. They complained so much you’d think they were hospital patients instead of kids I’d invited to camp outside.
Andy promised that he wouldn’t ruin anything. He wormed his way into the tent and settled in the far corner. Night was settling in, too, with the woods around us fading toward darkness. The house, with its porch (走廊) light on, seemed a long way from us.
“Time for ghost stories (鬼故事),” Bradley announced as soon as I closed the tent. He told a story about vampires (吸血鬼), but it only made us fall over laughing. When it was Wade’s turn, he told a story of three guys who were camping in a tent. He described our situation exactly – except for Andy. When he was describing a scary creature, somewhere outside, a branch broke. The hairs on my arms shot straight up. “These guys were crawling into their sleeping bags, right ” Wade continued. “Just then a terrbile cry came out of the darkness.” And out of the woods behind us was a cry, loud, frightening, and strange. The hairs on my head shot straight up too.
“What was that ” Bradley asked as the cry came again. We all looked at each other in horror, speechless. Wade suggested someone should go out to check, but no one dared. “What if it’s something trapped or hurt ” Andy said anxiously. We focused our flashlights on Andy, whom we’d forgotten, sitting in the corner with his arms around his toy bear. Andy would adopt every lost or hurt animal in the world if Mom would let me.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
“I’m going to see.” Andy rushed out of the tent and disappeared in the darkness. _______________________

Andy said it was a baby monkey caught between the branches, and it might be crying for its mother. _______
