D
Last week Jay McCarroll and The HSUS(The Humane Society of the United States) made a bold fur-free statement on the runway, marking a new chapter for the fashion industry and animal protection. The encouraging response to McCarroll’s show confirmed that change is happening in fashion.
McCarroll has good reasons for rejecting fur. Each year, tens of millions of animals, including dogs and cats, needlessly suffer and die to fuel the fur industry. But what did Jay McCarroll use in place of fur? “I have patchwork pieces that contain all sorts of combinations of fabrics. The rest is cotton, nylon, polyester . . . you name it. I even have some stuff made out of bamboo/cotton blend. Anything but fur and leather, ”he told Fashion Wire Daily.
“So many people want to protect animals and live their lives without causing unnecessary cruelty. More than two thirds of Americans have pets, and we share a bond with animals every day. Saying no to fur can help millions of animals, and we want to show our respect to leading designers like Jay who embrace compassion as the fashion, ”said Michael Markarian, executive vice president of The HSUS. “It is great to see leaders in the fashion industry recognizing that the animals need their fur more than we do.”
63．Which of the following is true about Jay McCarroll?
A. He is a famous fashion designer.
B. He is the executive vice president of the HSUS.
C. He is an editor of Fashion Wire Daily.
D. He is the head of all animal protection organization.
64．What does “a new chapter” in line two, paragraph one mean?
A. A new unit of a book. B. The beginning of a new trend.
C. The latest issue of a magazine. D. A newly established organization.
65．Which of the following is NOT recommended for clothing by Jay McCarroll?
A. Polyester. B. Bamboo. C. Leather. D. Patchwork pieces.
66．What do we learn from this passage?
A. Human beings depend emotionally on animals.
B. Fashion can go hand in hand with compassion for life.
C. Fur is more effective than bamboo／cotton blend for clothing.
D. Fur is more expensive than other materials for fashion designers.

We lived in a very quiet neighborhood. Earlier that evening my wife had asked me to go to the 1 to get some soft drinks. It seemed like this would be a good time to let my teenage daughter Holly practice her 2 , so I allowed her to go to the store in my truck.
At dinner my son talked about how much he liked my truck. I 3 having it, but I said: “Guy, my heart is not set on that truck. I like it but it is just metal and won’t 4 forever. Never set your heart on anything that won’t last.
We were talking 5 we heard a loud noise. 6 hearing it, the whole family ran outside. My son shouted; “Dad! Dad, Holly crashed your truck!”
My heart sank and my mind was flooded with conflicting (矛盾的) thoughts. Was anyone hurt? Who else was 7? As I ran to the door, I heard a voice in my heart say: “Here is a chance to show Holly 8 you really love. She’ll never forget it.”
The 9 had happened in my own driveway. Holly had 10 my truck into our family van (搬運(yùn)車(chē)). Because of her 11 , she had confused the brakes (剎車(chē)) and the gas pedal (油門(mén)). Holly was unhurt 12 but when I reached her, she was crying and saying “Oh, Dad, I’m sorry. I know how much you love this truck.” I held her in my arms as she cried.
Later that week a friend asked what had happened to my truck. I told her the whole story. Her eyes moistened (濕潤(rùn)) and she said: “That happened to me when I was a girl. I 13 my dad’s car completely. When I got home, my dad knocked me to the ground and began to 14 me.”
Over 40 years later, she still felt the 15 of the night, which was a deep wound on her soul.
I remember how 16 Holly was when she crashed our truck, and how I 17 her. One day, when Holly 18 on her life, I want her to know that I love her a thousand times 19 any piece of 20 .

For many years, I had a belief that my suffering was due to my size. I believed that when the weight disappeared, it would take old wounds, hurts, and rejections with it.
Many weight－conscious people also mistakenly believe that changing our bodies will fix everything. Perhaps our worst mistake is believing that being thin equals being loved，being special, and being cherished. We fantasize（幻想） about what it will be like when we reach the long－awaited goal. We work very hard to realize this dream. Then, at last, we find ourselves there.
But we often gain back what we have lost. Even so, we continue to believe that next time it will be different. Next time, we will keep it off. Next time, being thin will finally fulfill its promise of everlasting happiness, self－worth, and, of course, love.
It took me a long while to realize that there was something more for me to learn about beauty. Beauty standards vary with culture. In Samoa a woman is not considered attractive unless she weighs more than 200 pounds. More importantly, if it’s happiness that we want, why not put our energy there rather than on the size of our body? Why not look inside? Many of us strive hard to change our body, but in vain. We have to find a way to live comfortably inside our body and make friends with and cherish ourselves. When we change our attitudes toward ourselves, the whole world changes.
1.The passage tries to highlight the importance of ________.
|
A．body size |
|
B．a(chǎn)ttitudes toward life |
|
C．culture difference |
|
D．different beauty standards |
2.What does the word “everything” in paragraph 2 mean?
|
A．All the problems. |
B．All the properties. |
|
C．The whole world. |
D．The absolute truth. |
3.What can be inferred about the author?
|
A．The author is a Samoan. |
|
B．The author succeeded in losing weight. |
|
C．The author has been troubled by her/ his weight. |
|
D．The author probably got wounded in wars or accidents. |
4.According to the author, what is the common view of those who have lost some weight first and gained it back later?
|
A．They feel angry about the regained weight. |
|
B．They are indifferent to the regained weight. |
|
C．They feel optimistic(樂(lè)觀的) about future plans on weight control. |
|
D．They think they should give up their future plans on weight control. |

The Writers' Strike：Making the Best of the Worst
By now you are probably feeling the effects of the TV writers' strike－the decision of television writers to stop working. With few new TV shows, I present to you a list of shows available on DVD worth your viewing time to keep you going during this painful period.
Arrested Development is one of the funniest and most clever shows ever to have appeared on network TV. With a most perfect cast, the show sets out to cover the daily happenings of the Bluth family, a group of selfish staff who manage to still put family first.
For more comedy goodness, I recommend one of the sharpest comedies to have ever aired－30 Rock. Starring Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin, two stars with impressive comic timing，the show gives you a glimpse into the making of a sketch show(幽默短劇), similar to Saturday Night Live, from the funny writers to the selfcentered cast all the way up to the boss.
If you are looking for something more serious, or perhaps more juicy, Friday Night Lights might be more to your liking. If you are a fan of football, this show is probably for you. If you are a fan of great drama，both soapy and serious，this show is probably for you. If you are a fan of goodlooking people, this show is definitely for you.
If those shows were not enough for you, might I recommend a show with a more heartpounding excitement? The Amazing Race, after twelve seasons, still remains one of the most exciting shows on TV. Teams of two travel the globe with little to no money and experience farout adventures in an attempt to remain the last team standing.
1.If you are fond of soapy TV shows, you will probably choose to watch________.
A．Friday Night Lights
B．30 Rock
C．The Amazing Race
D．Saturday Night Live
2.From the DVD shows listed above, we can learn that________.
A．two teams won the amazing race
B．football fans enjoy The Amazing Race
C．the Bluths care about their family though selfish
D．30 Rock and Saturday Night Live have nothing in common
3.The author writes the passage to tell us that________.
A．the effects of the TV writers' strike are great
B．the strike puts TV shows in the worst situation
C．watching DVD is a good choice during the strike
D．we should choose DVD shows according to our tastes
4.The passage is most probably taken from
A．a(chǎn) book review B．a(chǎn) newspaper C．a(chǎn) film poster D．a(chǎn) DVD menu
