Happy Campers Summer Retreat
As a parent, your child’s health and happiness are the most important things to you, which can be difficult to achieve. The Happy Campers Summer Retreat was developed to help parents with this challenge.
Founded in 1998 by Michael Gibson, our summer camp is open to children during the holidays, from May to September. We look after lots of children every single year. Our camp is based in the Colorado Mountains, and it offers a lot of different activities for children.
Our program helps improve:
? Physical fitness
? Problem-solving skills
? Social skills
? Sports ability and experience
The Happy Campers Summer Retreat can benefit (使……受益) all children. Some children are good at school, but rarely active. Our program will help encourage an interest in sports. Other children are mainly interested in sports. These children will not only play sports, but will also learn new skills, such as teamwork skills, social skills, and communication skills. Children will also have the chance to try new activities. Our program is designed to help develop a complete and fully active child.
At very affordable prices, our program is available to any family in America. Your child’s stay can be as short as a week or as long as six weeks.

Most high school students would rather spend their summer vacations far away from the classroom. But Vineet Kosaraju and Nikhil Cheerla are choosing to go back to school, and this time they are the teachers.
“I think it’s really nice that I can help the community by spending just a little bit of time every week helping just a few students here and there try and learn programming,” Kosaraju said.
Friends since they were young boys, Kosaraju and Cheerla always shared a love of computer science. They learned the skills from their parents and school, but recognized that not all children have that chance.
“Programming isn’t taught in that many schools, especially low income (收入) schools, because there isn’t that much money to support it,” Kosaraju said.
So he and Cheerla developed “Math and Coding,” an after-school program for kids of all ages to learn the basics of computer programming.
Between applying for (申请) college and doing their own homework, the two boys now spend a few hours every week going to different libraries teaching classes that cover everything from building basic games to developing apps.
The friends started the program a little over a year ago and already, it’s spread to more than a dozen libraries across the Bay Area in California. They are even training volunteers to teach these very same classes in other US states and Canada.
Maryann Mitchell brought her 8-year-old granddaughter, Gabriella, to a class on coding at the Alum Rock Library in San Jose, California. www-2-1-cnjy-com
“It’s a chance for her to learn,” Mitchell said. “It’s the way of the future, and it’s a good way for her to get grounded and be ready for what the future holds.”
“I think the most rewarding thing is having people come up and thank you and say they really learned a lot from this class,” Cheerla said. “It doesn’t get any better than that.”
24. Why do the two boys return to the classroom during summer holidays?
A. To improve their computer skills.
B. To get some teaching experience.

D. To instruct kids in programming.

26. How can the class benefit Gabriella?
A. It helps her prepare for the future.
B. It encourages her to visit libraries.
C. It allows her to make more friends.
D. It’s a chance to learn about the future.
27. What does the text mainly report?
A. The great work of volunteers in the Bay Area.
B. A library’s important role in helping students.
C. Two teens’ free coding course for children.
D. The close friendship between two students.
C
The law of supply and demand (需求) explains how the prices of goods and services are determined. Prices rise when there is an increase in demand. When there is an increase in supply, prices go down.
When the amount of goods being demanded is the same as the amount of goods being supplied, it stabilizes prices. However, if either side increases too much, it can create economic (经济的) problems. Tulip Mania was a period in the Dutch Golden Age when the prices of tulips rose and dropped rapidly. In the 1630s, the demand for these flowers increased so much that prices went out of control.
After tulips were introduced to the Netherlands, they became a symbol of wealth and position. As a result, the rare types were seen as valuable things and were traded at high prices. Soon, they grew in popularity as a trading product, and traders bought them to make a lot of money. Even ordinary people started to believe it was an easy way to make money and got involved (参与) in the trade of the tulips.
Prices kept on rising as more people wanted tulips. Some people began selling all of their possessions (财产) in order to buy them. And the prices became unbelievably higher than the value of the actual things. As the supply increased, however, some people thought the demand for tulips would not last and began to sell their tulips. Finally, prices dropped, and many were left poor with worthless tulips.
28. What does the underlined word “stabilizes” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Brings something down.
B. Loses control of something.
C. Keeps something exactly the same.
D. Makes something unlikely to change.
29. What caused the huge increase in tulips’ prices in the 1630s?
A. Their high value.
B. Powerful demand.
C. Their extreme rareness.
D. The government’s economic policy.
30. According to the text, Tulip Mania _____.
A. involved a wide range of people
B. helped create the Dutch Golden Age
C. went against the law of supply and demand
D. led to the slow economic growth in the Netherlands21教育名师原创作品
31. Why did some people begin to sell their tulips during Tulip Mania?
A. Their tulips were just common types.
B. Their prices would remain unchanged.
C. They needed money to make a living.
D. They were worried about the demand for tulips.

Pharrell Williams takes a breath and considers how the past years have developed for him: ten Grammy Awards and a number of hit singles including a song that has caused countless fans to express how they are “happy”.
And the key, says the 43-year-old known simply as Pharrell, has been taking advantage of audiences’ (听众的) need for heartfelt personal stories.
“I think we’ve entered a new singer-songwriter time,” said the American singer and producer. “People want a story. They want a story they can connect to. It’s not about what you have or what you don’t have; it’s more about your journey and your viewpoint that’s important to people.”
Pharrell said he noticed a change in audiences’ tastes over the past year in particular with the sudden success of his song Happy, which received little fanfare upon its release but has turned into an international hit. Countless videos populate sites like YouTube with people from Portugal and China to Abu Dhabi and Iran singing and dancing along to the song.
After seeing how far his song traveled, the singer broke down in tears during a televised interview with the famous talk show host Oprah Winfrey.
“It’s just encouraging to people who have something to say, something to express,” he said.www.21-cn-jy.com
The success has made Pharrell realize that people are searching for personal and emotional links (情感纽带), perhaps as a means of getting away from the modern technological world we’re living in today.
“People want to feel. There’s too much thinking to deal with,” the singer said. “We’re different from what we were 15 years ago. The only thing we have left that reminds (提醒) us that we are humans is feeling. It’s the most important thing ever.”
32. What’s the key to successful music according to Pharrell?
A. Writing happy songs.
B. Following your heart.
C. Telling moving stories.
D. Sharing personal experiences.
33. What can we learn about Pharrell’s song Happy?
A. It received a cold welcome.
B. It became popular overnight.
C. It changed audiences’ tastes in music.
D. It received different responses at home and abroad.
34. How did Pharrell feel about the success of his song?
A. It was caused by good luck.
B. It was within his expectations.
C. It gave him hope and confidence.
D. It prevented him giving up making music.
35. Why do people want to be connected to others emotionally?21教育网
A. They need someone to talk to.
B. They need others to help them think.
C. They are tired of their own personal life.
D. They feel less human in the technological world.

Leonardo da Vinci is often thought of mainly as an artist, with world-famous works like The Last Supper and the Mona Lisa. 36 But his notebooks, filled with his strange writing, show that his main interests were in engineering and technology.
37 If his pioneering work on anatomy (解剖学) is also taken into consideration, it is not hard to see why Leonardo is considered to be one of the greatest geniuses (天才) of all time.
Born in 1452 to a Florentine lawyer and a local village girl, Leonardo was given only a very basic education. After ten years in the workshop of the artist Verrocchio, he began to work for himself. The work he did shows an unbelievable combination (结合) of technical skill and very careful observation. 38
At the age of thirty, he left his hometown and moved to Milan, where he spent seventeen years working for the Duke of Milan. 39 In fact, his painting was increasingly influenced by his interest in mathematics. During this period, he painted The Last Supper and developed his ideas for chemical weapons (化学武器).
In 1506 he returned to Milan and became increasingly interested in science. 40 He also studied many other animals, comparing their bodies to the human body. From then on, Leonardo spent the rest of his life mainly on his scientific studies.
A. Before long, he returned to his painting.
B. Of course, his place in art history is certain.
C. It also shows his great interest in technology.
D. The notebooks are full of drawings for all kinds of inventions.
E. He began to study human bodies and the movement of the blood.
F. Here he continued to combine his scientific work with his painting.
G. It was a good chance to make some money with his new inventions.

选做题
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
A
To be passionate means that you really like something a lot. You could have passion for a sport, a book or a movie. Or, if you’re like engineer Cori Lathan, you could have passion for science, technology, engineering and math (STEM).
“It never occurred to me I couldn’t do STEM,” said Lathan, 48, grew up at a time when most girls were not encouraged to think about STEM careers (职业). “I had no idea women weren’t interested in STEM.”
Many STEM-based careers involve hands-on research that goes way beyond sitting at a desk. While earning degrees in STEM subjects, Lathan observed 100 fruit flies one summer to see if they could recognize 3-D objects.
“I love the fact that we’re doing different things all the time,” Lathan said of her team. “I love that we get to be creative.”
Lathan’s company has designed a glove called AcceleGlove that can communicate with a computer. Someone communicating through sign language could use the gloves to have his words translated into written words on a computer screen.
Lathan said she is interested in “using technology that enables people to do something.”
Lathan grew up in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Maryland. When she was young, there was no after-school science club she could join, but her parents encouraged her passion.
“They made me think math was fun,” she said.
She attended Swarthmore College in Pennsylvania, where her first year proved to be challenging. She failed physics and earned a D in biology in the first year. But she didn’t give up. She went to Massachusetts Institute of Technology to earn her doctor’s degree in neuroscience (神经科学). (She was one of only two women in her field of study there.)
Later, when she taught engineering at Catholic University, she was the only female professor in the school of engineering. In 1999, Lathan started an engineering company and has created many tech tools.
“No matter what you want to do,” Lathan said, “science and technology is so important. You need to figure out (弄明白) your strengths and weaknesses.” But, she added, “Most importantly, you need to move beyond strengths and weaknesses and see where your passions are.”
1. What did Lathan say about STEM?
A. It is a field that anyone can step into.
B. It is less attractive than books or movies to women.
C. Working conditions involving STEM careers are poor.
D. More girls should be encouraged to think about STEM careers.
2. Who is the AcceleGlove probably designed for?
A. Translators.
B. Language learners.
C. People who work with computers.
D. People who have certain disabilities.
3. What was Lathan’s parents’ attitude towards her passion?【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】
A. Uninterested.
B. Supportive.
C. Worried.
D. Doubtful.
4. When Lathan started college, she _____.
A. regretted choosing a wrong major
B. failed most of the subjects
C. struggled a lot
D. nearly gave up
5. What does Lathan mainly want to tell us to do in the last paragraph?
A. To know what we are fond of.
B. To make the best use of our advantages.
C. To understand the importance of science and technology.【出处：21教育名师】
D. To learn the strengths and weaknesses of a scientific career.

SAO PAULO (AP) — The World Cup uniforms provide a carnival (狂欢节) of color and fashion, from Brazil’s bright yellow shirts to the Netherlands’ classic orange and the superhero-inspired looks of Mexico and Costa Rica.
The 2014 World Cup, which opened Thursday, features the classics, the creative and the strange.21*cnjy*com
Take a look at the Americans’ new red, white and blue color-block shirts — critics say they look like Domino’s Pizza delivery uniforms.
“The USA sports shirt feels very patriotic (爱国的),” said Los Angeles designer and stylist Estée Stanley. “It’s easy to identify the country as the U.S.”
Then there are the classics.
Several teams are all about simple but attractive looks: There are England’s white home shirt, and the traditional blue of Italy with a crest over the heart in the nation’s tricolor.
They contrast (对比) sharply with Croatia, which sports an impressive home shirt with large red-and-white checks.
Some teams have gone for subtle patterns (难以形容的式样) that still stand out. Lightning bolts on both shirts will make Mexico fashionable as the team travels around Brazil.
“I am partial to those shirts with daring superhero designs or shirts that best show the players’ muscles,” said Tom Julian, men’s fashion director at The Doneger Group, a company based in New York. “Mexico, with the lightning effect, is probably my favorite of all.”
Cameroon’s forest-green, art-inspired shirt makes a bold (大胆的) statement for the small African nation.
“The Cameroon shirt is the cutest and most fashionable with an Ikat print,” Stanley said, while “the Netherlands’ away shirt (客场球衣) is very impressive,” according to Julian. “In active wear, color is an important part of the story, and it’s great to see the brights well represented — from yellow and orange to green and red.”
6. What can we infer about Americans’ new sports shirts?
A. They are not bright enough.
B. They received mixed views.
C. They led the color-block style.
D. They combined the three colors perfectly.
7. Which of the following can best describe England’s football shirts?
A. Bold.
B. Creative.
C. Strange.
D. Traditional.
8. What does the underlined part “am partial to” in the text mean?
A. Prefer.
B. Expect.
C. Design.
D. Change.
9. Which country’s football shirt is the most attractive in Stanley’s eyes?
A. The Netherlands.
B. The USA.
C. Cameroon.
D. Mexico.
10. What’s the best title for the text?
A. The World Cup
B. The Fashion of Football
C. What’s Your Style?
D. What Do Fashion Designers Say?

Evening, everyone!
I think our life in 50 years’ time will be totally different from what it is now.
Our life will become much easier. We’ll feel more comfortable indoors because the room temperature will be properly controlled by new building materials. Robots will become part of our life and cook delicious food for us. It’ll be more convenient for us to travel around because personal planes will be popular. If we fall ill, there’ll be no need to go to hospital because our robots will examine us, send our information to the hospital, and then tell us what to do to get well. Won’t it be interesting to live like this?21cnjy.com

48. C。
49. D。希特勒“一直（kept）”说关于犹太人的坏话，并且还对他们作了很多虚假的“陈述（statements）”。
50. A。
51. B。根据上文中的the Jewish people were the real enemies of Germany可知，希特勒“最终（Finally）”使得“德国人（Germans）”相信了他所说的话。
52. D。“人们经常撒一些小谎”与“人们比较容易理解或接受这些谎言”之间为因果关系，故填so。
53. C。根据我们对于谎言的常识以及该空后的转折词However可知，人们能意识到这些小小的谎言并非“事实（truth）”。
54. A。
55. B。根据文中的telling such a huge lie可知，当有人说了一件难以置信的事情时，人们很难“想到（imagine）”有人竟然会编出如此大一个谎话，因此也就选择“接受（accept）”这个大谎言。
56. D。根据下文中的These days ... rumors about famous people to be told可知，现在也“仍然（still）”有人在说大谎话。
57. C。根据文章首段中的how people feel or what they think about something可知，大谎言是要控制人们的“思想（minds）”。
58. A。根据我们的常识可知，现如今的名人被谣言中伤也是“常有的（common）”事。
59. D。该空后的they are mostly just big lies是对rumors about famous people to be told的让步，因此填even though。

Most high school students would rather spend their summer vacations far away from the classroom. But Vineet Kosaraju and Nikhil Cheerla are choosing to go back to school, and this time they are the teachers.
“I think it’s really nice that I can help the community by spending just a little bit of time every week helping just a few students here and there try and learn programming,” Kosaraju said.
Friends since they were young boys, Kosaraju and Cheerla always shared a love of computer science. They learned the skills from their parents and school, but recognized that not all children have that chance.
“Programming isn’t taught in that many schools, especially low income (收入) schools, because there isn’t that much money to support it,” Kosaraju said.
So he and Cheerla developed “Math and Coding,” an after-school program for kids of all ages to learn the basics of computer programming.
Between applying for (申请) college and doing their own homework, the two boys now spend a few hours every week going to different libraries teaching classes that cover everything from building basic games to developing apps.
The friends started the program a little over a year ago and already, it’s spread to more than a dozen libraries across the Bay Area in California. They are even training volunteers to teach these very same classes in other US states and Canada.
Maryann Mitchell brought her 8-year-old granddaughter, Gabriella, to a class on coding at the Alum Rock Library in San Jose, California. www-2-1-cnjy-com
“It’s a chance for her to learn,” Mitchell said. “It’s the way of the future, and it’s a good way for her to get grounded and be ready for what the future holds.”
“I think the most rewarding thing is having people come up and thank you and say they really learned a lot from this class,” Cheerla said. “It doesn’t get any better than that.”
24. Why do the two boys return to the classroom during summer holidays?
A. To improve their computer skills.
B. To get some teaching experience.

D. To instruct kids in programming.

A. It helps her prepare for the future.
B. It encourages her to visit libraries.
C. It allows her to make more friends.
D. It’s a chance to learn about the future.
27. What does the text mainly report?
A. The great work of volunteers in the Bay Area.
B. A library’s important role in helping students.
C. Two teens’ free coding course for children.
D. The close friendship between two students.

The law of supply and demand (需求) explains how the prices of goods and services are determined. Prices rise when there is an increase in demand. When there is an increase in supply, prices go down.
When the amount of goods being demanded is the same as the amount of goods being supplied, it stabilizes prices. However, if either side increases too much, it can create economic (经济的) problems. Tulip Mania was a period in the Dutch Golden Age when the prices of tulips rose and dropped rapidly. In the 1630s, the demand for these flowers increased so much that prices went out of control.
After tulips were introduced to the Netherlands, they became a symbol of wealth and position. As a result, the rare types were seen as valuable things and were traded at high prices. Soon, they grew in popularity as a trading product, and traders bought them to make a lot of money. Even ordinary people started to believe it was an easy way to make money and got involved (参与) in the trade of the tulips.
Prices kept on rising as more people wanted tulips. Some people began selling all of their possessions (财产) in order to buy them. And the prices became unbelievably higher than the value of the actual things. As the supply increased, however, some people thought the demand for tulips would not last and began to sell their tulips. Finally, prices dropped, and many were left poor with worthless tulips.
28. What does the underlined word “stabilizes” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Brings something down.
B. Loses control of something.
C. Keeps something exactly the same.
D. Makes something unlikely to change.
29. What caused the huge increase in tulips’ prices in the 1630s?
A. Their high value.
B. Powerful demand.
C. Their extreme rareness.
D. The government’s economic policy.
30. According to the text, Tulip Mania _____.
A. involved a wide range of people
B. helped create the Dutch Golden Age
C. went against the law of supply and demand
D. led to the slow economic growth in the Netherlands21教育名师原创作品
31. Why did some people begin to sell their tulips during Tulip Mania?
A. Their tulips were just common types.
B. Their prices would remain unchanged.
C. They needed money to make a living.
D. They were worried about the demand for tulips.

Pharrell Williams takes a breath and considers how the past years have developed for him: ten Grammy Awards and a number of hit singles including a song that has caused countless fans to express how they are “happy”.
And the key, says the 43-year-old known simply as Pharrell, has been taking advantage of audiences’ (听众的) need for heartfelt personal stories.
“I think we’ve entered a new singer-songwriter time,” said the American singer and producer. “People want a story. They want a story they can connect to. It’s not about what you have or what you don’t have; it’s more about your journey and your viewpoint that’s important to people.”
Pharrell said he noticed a change in audiences’ tastes over the past year in particular with the sudden success of his song Happy, which received little fanfare upon its release but has turned into an international hit. Countless videos populate sites like YouTube with people from Portugal and China to Abu Dhabi and Iran singing and dancing along to the song.
After seeing how far his song traveled, the singer broke down in tears during a televised interview with the famous talk show host Oprah Winfrey.
“It’s just encouraging to people who have something to say, something to express,” he said.www.21-cn-jy.com
The success has made Pharrell realize that people are searching for personal and emotional links (情感纽带), perhaps as a means of getting away from the modern technological world we’re living in today.
“People want to feel. There’s too much thinking to deal with,” the singer said. “We’re different from what we were 15 years ago. The only thing we have left that reminds (提醒) us that we are humans is feeling. It’s the most important thing ever.”
32. What’s the key to successful music according to Pharrell?
A. Writing happy songs.
B. Following your heart.
C. Telling moving stories.
D. Sharing personal experiences.
33. What can we learn about Pharrell’s song Happy?
A. It received a cold welcome.
B. It became popular overnight.
C. It changed audiences’ tastes in music.
D. It received different responses at home and abroad.
34. How did Pharrell feel about the success of his song?
A. It was caused by good luck.
B. It was within his expectations.
C. It gave him hope and confidence.
D. It prevented him giving up making music.
35. Why do people want to be connected to others emotionally?21教育网
A. They need someone to talk to.
B. They need others to help them think.
C. They are tired of their own personal life.
D. They feel less human in the technological world.

Leonardo da Vinci is often thought of mainly as an artist, with world-famous works like The Last Supper and the Mona Lisa. 36 But his notebooks, filled with his strange writing, show that his main interests were in engineering and technology.
37 If his pioneering work on anatomy (解剖学) is also taken into consideration, it is not hard to see why Leonardo is considered to be one of the greatest geniuses (天才) of all time.
Born in 1452 to a Florentine lawyer and a local village girl, Leonardo was given only a very basic education. After ten years in the workshop of the artist Verrocchio, he began to work for himself. The work he did shows an unbelievable combination (结合) of technical skill and very careful observation. 38
At the age of thirty, he left his hometown and moved to Milan, where he spent seventeen years working for the Duke of Milan. 39 In fact, his painting was increasingly influenced by his interest in mathematics. During this period, he painted The Last Supper and developed his ideas for chemical weapons (化学武器).
In 1506 he returned to Milan and became increasingly interested in science. 40 He also studied many other animals, comparing their bodies to the human body. From then on, Leonardo spent the rest of his life mainly on his scientific studies.
A. Before long, he returned to his painting.
B. Of course, his place in art history is certain.
C. It also shows his great interest in technology.
D. The notebooks are full of drawings for all kinds of inventions.
E. He began to study human bodies and the movement of the blood.
F. Here he continued to combine his scientific work with his painting.
G. It was a good chance to make some money with his new inventions.

选做题
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
A
To be passionate means that you really like something a lot. You could have passion for a sport, a book or a movie. Or, if you’re like engineer Cori Lathan, you could have passion for science, technology, engineering and math (STEM).
“It never occurred to me I couldn’t do STEM,” said Lathan, 48, grew up at a time when most girls were not encouraged to think about STEM careers (职业). “I had no idea women weren’t interested in STEM.”
Many STEM-based careers involve hands-on research that goes way beyond sitting at a desk. While earning degrees in STEM subjects, Lathan observed 100 fruit flies one summer to see if they could recognize 3-D objects.
“I love the fact that we’re doing different things all the time,” Lathan said of her team. “I love that we get to be creative.”
Lathan’s company has designed a glove called AcceleGlove that can communicate with a computer. Someone communicating through sign language could use the gloves to have his words translated into written words on a computer screen.
Lathan said she is interested in “using technology that enables people to do something.”
Lathan grew up in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Maryland. When she was young, there was no after-school science club she could join, but her parents encouraged her passion.
“They made me think math was fun,” she said.
She attended Swarthmore College in Pennsylvania, where her first year proved to be challenging. She failed physics and earned a D in biology in the first year. But she didn’t give up. She went to Massachusetts Institute of Technology to earn her doctor’s degree in neuroscience (神经科学). (She was one of only two women in her field of study there.)
Later, when she taught engineering at Catholic University, she was the only female professor in the school of engineering. In 1999, Lathan started an engineering company and has created many tech tools.
“No matter what you want to do,” Lathan said, “science and technology is so important. You need to figure out (弄明白) your strengths and weaknesses.” But, she added, “Most importantly, you need to move beyond strengths and weaknesses and see where your passions are.”
1. What did Lathan say about STEM?
A. It is a field that anyone can step into.
B. It is less attractive than books or movies to women.
C. Working conditions involving STEM careers are poor.
D. More girls should be encouraged to think about STEM careers.
2. Who is the AcceleGlove probably designed for?
A. Translators.
B. Language learners.
C. People who work with computers.
D. People who have certain disabilities.
3. What was Lathan’s parents’ attitude towards her passion?【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】
A. Uninterested.
B. Supportive.
C. Worried.
D. Doubtful.
4. When Lathan started college, she _____.
A. regretted choosing a wrong major
B. failed most of the subjects
C. struggled a lot
D. nearly gave up
5. What does Lathan mainly want to tell us to do in the last paragraph?
A. To know what we are fond of.
B. To make the best use of our advantages.
C. To understand the importance of science and technology.【出处：21教育名师】
D. To learn the strengths and weaknesses of a scientific career.

SAO PAULO (AP) — The World Cup uniforms provide a carnival (狂欢节) of color and fashion, from Brazil’s bright yellow shirts to the Netherlands’ classic orange and the superhero-inspired looks of Mexico and Costa Rica.
The 2014 World Cup, which opened Thursday, features the classics, the creative and the strange.21*cnjy*com
Take a look at the Americans’ new red, white and blue color-block shirts — critics say they look like Domino’s Pizza delivery uniforms.
“The USA sports shirt feels very patriotic (爱国的),” said Los Angeles designer and stylist Estée Stanley. “It’s easy to identify the country as the U.S.”
Then there are the classics.
Several teams are all about simple but attractive looks: There are England’s white home shirt, and the traditional blue of Italy with a crest over the heart in the nation’s tricolor.
They contrast (对比) sharply with Croatia, which sports an impressive home shirt with large red-and-white checks.
Some teams have gone for subtle patterns (难以形容的式样) that still stand out. Lightning bolts on both shirts will make Mexico fashionable as the team travels around Brazil.
“I am partial to those shirts with daring superhero designs or shirts that best show the players’ muscles,” said Tom Julian, men’s fashion director at The Doneger Group, a company based in New York. “Mexico, with the lightning effect, is probably my favorite of all.”
Cameroon’s forest-green, art-inspired shirt makes a bold (大胆的) statement for the small African nation.
“The Cameroon shirt is the cutest and most fashionable with an Ikat print,” Stanley said, while “the Netherlands’ away shirt (客场球衣) is very impressive,” according to Julian. “In active wear, color is an important part of the story, and it’s great to see the brights well represented — from yellow and orange to green and red.”
6. What can we infer about Americans’ new sports shirts?
A. They are not bright enough.
B. They received mixed views.
C. They led the color-block style.
D. They combined the three colors perfectly.
7. Which of the following can best describe England’s football shirts?
A. Bold.
B. Creative.
C. Strange.
D. Traditional.
8. What does the underlined part “am partial to” in the text mean?
A. Prefer.
B. Expect.
C. Design.
D. Change.
9. Which country’s football shirt is the most attractive in Stanley’s eyes?
A. The Netherlands.
B. The USA.
C. Cameroon.
D. Mexico.
10. What’s the best title for the text?
A. The World Cup
B. The Fashion of Football
C. What’s Your Style?
D. What Do Fashion Designers Say?

Evening, everyone!
I think our life in 50 years’ time will be totally different from what it is now.
Our life will become much easier. We’ll feel more comfortable indoors because the room temperature will be properly controlled by new building materials. Robots will become part of our life and cook delicious food for us. It’ll be more convenient for us to travel around because personal planes will be popular. If we fall ill, there’ll be no need to go to hospital because our robots will examine us, send our information to the hospital, and then tell us what to do to get well. Won’t it be interesting to live like this?21cnjy.com
