For Western designers, China and its rich culture have long been an inspiration for Western creative.

"It's no secret that China has always been a source(来源)of inspiration for designers," says Amanda Hill, chief creative officer at A+E Networks, a global media company and home to some of the biggest fashion(时尚)shows.

Earlier this year, the China Through A Looking Glass exhibition in New York exhibited 140 pieces of China-inspired fashionable clothing alongside Chinese works of art, with the aim of exploring the influence of Chinese aesthetics(美学)on Western fashion and how China has fueled the fashionable imagination for centuries. The exhibition had record attendance, showing that there is huge interest in Chinese influences.

"China is impossible to overlook," says Hill. "Chinese models are the faces of beauty and fashion campaigns that sell dreams to women all over the world, which means Chinese women are not just consumers of fashion — they are central to its movement. "Of course, only are today's top Western designers being influenced by China-some of the best designers of contemporary fashion are themselves Chinese." Vera Wang, Alexander Wang, Jason Wu are taking on Galiano, Albaz, Marc Jacobs-and beating them hands down in design and sales," adds Hil.

For Hill, it is impossible not to talk about China as the leading player when discussing fashion. "The most famous designers are Chinese, so are the models, and so are the consumers," she says. "China is no longer just another market; in many senses it has become the market. If you talk about fashion today, you are talking about China-its influences, its direction, its breathtaking clothes, and how young designers and models are finally acknowledging that in many ways."

24.What can we learn about the exhibition in New York?

A. It promoted the sales of artworks. B. It attracted a large number of visitors.

C. It showed ancient Chinese clothes. D. It aimed to introduce Chinese models.

25.What does Hill say about Chinese women?

A. They are setting the fashion. B. They start many fashion campaigns.

C. They admire super models. D. They do business all over the world.

26.What do the underlined words "taking on" in paragraph 4 mean?

A. learning from B. looking down on C. working with D. competing against

27.What can be a suitable title for the text?

A. Young Models Selling Dreams to the World

B.A Chinese Art Exhibition Held in New York

C. Differences Between Eastern and Western Aesthetics

D. Chinese Culture Fueling International Fashion Trends

A complaint (投诉) was received by the Pontiac Department of General Motors. It said: “This is the second time I have written to you, and I don't 1 you for not answering me, because I sounded crazy. After dinner, our family would 2 on which kind of ice cream we should have and then I'll 3 them to get the ‘winner’. I have recently 4 a new Pontiac car and since then my return trips have become 5 .Every time I buy the vanilla(香草味的)ice cream, my car will 6 . However, if I get any other flavors. the car starts just fine.”

The Pontiac president was 7 about the letter, but sent an engineer to 8 this thing anyway. One day, accompanied by the 9 , the customer drove to the store after dinnertime. It was the vanilla ice cream that night and 10 , after they came back, the car 11 to start. The engineer conducted the 12 for three more nights. On the first two nights, they got the chocolate flavor and the car started. The car didn't start after the customer ordered the vanilla flavor on the third night.

Eventually, his work 16 .In fact, different kinds of ice cream were 17 distributed(分布) in the store. The vanilla flavor was quite a 18 and was put in the front of the store. The 19 time taken to get other flavors in the back allowed the engine to cool down. When the man got the vanilla ice cream, the engine was still too hot to start.

A while back I caught a news report on something called ―couch surfing‖ and the network of trusting souls who make this phenomenon possible. They offer to put up travelers free of charge and help them on their ways. At first, it sounded unbelievable. I mean, inviting strangers into one’s home for one or two nights? Give me a break.
However, I was intrigued. I decided to investigate. The only way to truly learn about this phenomenon was to dive in. So I planned a trip to Finland, a country I’ve always wanted to explore. I would couch surf at every stop there.
If ever any anxiety existed when stepping into the unknown, it disappeared when my first host met me at the train station. Ari looked like my idea of a typical Finn: tall and blue-eyed. Finns were also supposed to be famously reserved (寡言少语的). Ari was anything but. He was a live wire, giving me an enthusiastic welcome and hiking with me to his apartment, where he showed me the sleeper sofa, served me tea, and engaged me in warm conversations. He also handed me a key to come and go as I pleased.
If this was what couch surfing was all about － trust and friendship － then I had gotten off to a good start. As I boarded my next train to continue my journey, I began to think about this couch-surfing idea. What urged these people to open their homes to strangers? I concluded that there was a desire to lend a hand to like-minded folks who might enrich their own lives.
Seven cities in 14 days. Seven hosts. Seven new friends. If couch surfing taught me anything, it’s this: Most people are good and generous. Where will couch surfing take me next? Who knows? But I can’t wait to find out.
【1】Which of the following best explains ―intrigued‖ underlined in the second paragraph?
A. Relaxed. B. Disgusted.
C. Interested. D. Embarrassed.
【2】What can we know about Ari?
A. He was reserved like most Finns. B. He talked less but he was friendly.
C. He treated the author as a friend. D. He saw off the author at the train station.
【3】Why did people offer couch surfing to strangers?
A. To take an adventure with strangers.
B. To exchange houses for a short time.
C. To learn more about others’ family lives.
D. To enrich their own lives by helping others.
【4】What can be the suitable title for the text?
A. Travel on Trust and Couches B. A Free Travel in Finland
C. Experiences in Strangers’ Houses D. A Plan for Couch Surfing

My faith in human nature has never been so great as it was last weekend after our family get-together in the town of Vail.

On Saturday, we all went to the market right in the middle of the town. Near the end, we all 11 at the fountain near the bridge, and the kids waded（蹚水）around in the fountain until we 12 . This is one of the busiest walking streets.

Ponder has never 16 anything. So we just take for granted that he needs no supervision（指导）for managing his 17 .

He was upset, not about the Gameboy, but about the watch. "But Dad," he said, through massive 18 , "they don't make that kind of watch anymore." We were all very 19 .

Our dinner reservation was at a restaurant just on the other side of the bridge, so I 20 him that we would not only search the area around the fountain when we went back for dinner, but we would also find the police and ask them if the backpack had been 21 .

As we exited from the parking garage, we could see the fountain as we walked down the long staircase. I saw something black 22 there, but it was right next to a woman standing by the fountain, so I could not 23 what it was or if it was hers.

"See it, Dad?" Ponder shouted. "Don't get too 24 because that may not be it," I said. But that was it. It had been five or six hours since we left the fountain, and it was 25 there. There was no ID in it, and it looked like someone had looked through it and then set it right out where all could 26 it.

I literally 27 when we reached it and it was his！Everyone in our party was blown away by this "miracle（奇迹）". In my wildest 28 , I would never have imagined that this could happen nowadays.

Each year，millions of children around the world are unable to go to school. To draw attention to this widespread problem，the United Nations（UN）is putting education first. Recently，the UN screened a documentary film called Back to School. The film is the second in a series of documentaries（纪录片）for the project Time for School.
These films follow seven children from seven different countries. This 12-year project began in 2006，when the children first started school. "This is something we could do to help the education crisis in the world，"said producer and writer Judy Katz. “Documentary film-makers can get deeply involved in a problem and do something about it.”
More than 100 million children will never set foot in a school. Sixty percent of those children are girls. Cheryl Faye，head of the UN Girls Education Initiative，spoke about the many factors that prevent girls from getting an education. One problem is the long distance many children must travel to get to school. Also，girls in many cultures are traditionally expected to marry early and work to help their families. “We need to make a special effort for girls，”Faye said.
As part of the UN's Millennium goals，the organization wants every single child to get at least an elementary education by 2018.
Students from Lawrence Middle School in New York were deeply moved after they saw the film. The seventh grade class is raising money to help build a library on the outskirts of Nairobi，Kenya（肯尼亚），where Joab-a child in the documentary-lives. The class teacher，Karen Weiner，and the class are known in their school as the “Kenya crew”. All the kids were really happy to support Joab and said they felt great about their fund-raising efforts. Like the seventh graders at Lawrence Middle School，kids can work together to make a difference in places like Nairobi. By raising money for education，kids can help children on the other side of the world have a chance of a better，happier life.
【1】What's the purpose of the UN screening the documentary film Back to School？
A.To raise funds for global education.
B.To raise awareness of the need for global education.
C.To encourage all the children to come back to school.
D.To show the achievements which have been made in the past few years.
【2】Special efforts should be made for girls because ____________
A.sixty percent of the children in the world are girls
B.more than 100 million girls will never go to school
C.most of the girls are tired of going to school
D.more than one half of the children who never go to school are girls
【3】Which of the following could NOT be the factor that prevents girls from getting an education？
A.Long distance from school. B.Being born weak.
C.Helping work for the family. D.Early marriage.
【4】Why are the class teacher，Karen Weiner，and the class considered as “Kenya crew” ？
A.Because they are trying their great efforts to raise money for the education of Kenya Children.
B.Because they are actors in the documentary film Back to School.
C.Because they are mostly from Kenya，where the child in the documentary lives.
D.Because they all have the same experience as Joab，the Kenya child.
【5】The last paragraph mainly discusses__________________
A.American middle school students' desire to go to Kenya
B.the content of the documentary film Back to School
C.an example of being inspired to take action after seeing the film
D.how students from Lawrence Middle School raise money for their education

In the winter of 1910, Dr. Wu Lien-Teh stepped off a train in the northern Chinese city of Harbin. He was there to solve a medical mystery, at great personal risk. Over the past few months, an unknown disease had swept along the railways of northeast China, killing 99.9% of its victims. The Qing Imperial court had sent the Cambridge-educated Dr. Wu north to stop the epidemic.

When Dr Wu arrived in Harbin on Christmas Eve, 1910, he carried little in the way of medical instruments and had only one assistant. One of Wu' s first acts upon arrival was to set up special quarantine(隔离) units and to order lockdowns to stop infected persons from traveling and spreading the disease. He had teams check households for possible cases, and even managed to convince authorities to completely close the railways in the early weeks of 1911. Of particular concern was the upcoming Chinese New Year holiday, which had become a great annual migration of people traveling across the country to see their families.

Thanks to Dr. Wu's efforts, the number of plague victims began to die down, and by March 1, 1911, the epidemic was fully contained. The pneumonic (肺炎的) plague outbreak of 1910-1911 lasted nearly four months, affected five provinces and six major cities, and accounted for over 60,000 deaths. It is clear that without the brave and decisive actions taken by Dr. Wu, it could have been much worse. Had the epidemic gone unchecked, allowing holiday rail passengers to spread the disease to the rest of China could have meant a catastrophic loss of life and possibly a global health crisis.

In April 1911, Dr. Wu chaired an International Plague Conference in Shenyang, attended by scientists from 11 counties including the United States, Great Britain, Russia, Japan and France. They praised Dr. Wu for his handling of the 1910-1911 outbreak. For a time, Dr. Wu was the world's most famous plague fighter, a title be defended in a malaria epidemic in China in 1919, and a return of plague in 1921.
