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 Hill.‎ 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 showed ancient Chinese clothes.‎ C. It attracted a large number of visitors. D. It aimed to introduce Chinese models.‎ ‎25. What does Hill say about Chinese women?‎ A. They do business all over the world. B. They start many fashion campaigns.‎ C. They admire super models. D. They are setting the fashion.[来源:Z|xx|k.Com]‎ ‎26. What do the underlined words “taking on” in paragraph 4 mean?‎ A. learning from B. looking down on C. competing against D. working with ‎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 C Sunny days in Seattle are quite rare. I’d planned to spend my weekend in the sun, potting flowers outdoors. But that was before the pair of crows（乌鸦）arrived. Out of nowhere, they had set up their base camp in our backyard.‎ We first discovered our feathered enemies on Friday morning. It was early, and the sound the birds made traveled through our neighborhood. I figured they’d go away soon. But, no. They were getting louder and probably annoying my neighbors nearly as much as us with the noise. I admit I got a little desperate.‎ Then, on Sunday afternoon, I looked out of the kitchen window to see our dog Quatchi staring at something on the ground. I went to explore and found a small coal-black bird in the grass. Its eyes were milky, and it stayed perfectly still as my dog walked towards it. Only when Quatchi touched his nose to its head did it walk away. I grabbed the dog and locked him inside and came back with my camera.‎ It never occurred to me that the young would be hanging out on the ground, growing and gaining strength as its parents guarded it from above. The second I saw this little creature I forgave the crows.‎ To be honest, I’ve never been much of a bird person. I also have a healthy respect for birds and by healthy, I mean slightly fear-based. They’re basically living dinosaurs.‎ I wish they’d chosen another backyard. There are only so many sunny days in Seattle and I still can’t do any gardening out there. But I’m also grateful that I got to see this little bit of nature unfold up close. It’s pretty amazing.‎ The experience has also strengthened my desire to create a beautiful backyard garden that attracts lots of bees, butterflies, and yes, birds. They are welcome here.‎ ‎28. The arrival of the two crows ______.‎ A. disturbed the author’s life B. frightened the author’s dog C.angered the author's neighbors D. damaged the author's backyard ‎29. Why did the author lock her dog up?‎ A. She wanted to take some photos. B. The dog kept making loud noises.‎ C. She wanted to protect the little bird. D. The parent crows were to attack the dog.‎ ‎30. After seeing the little crow, the author ______.‎ A. decided to help look after it B. planned to drive the crows away C. fell in love with the pair of crows D. appreciated knowing its growing process ‎31. By saying “They’re basically living dinosaurs” in paragraph 5, the author means _________‎ A. birds are rare B. birds are very ugly C. she is afraid of birds D. she is respectful to birds D It is a question that has long puzzled scientists—exactly why are tigers orange? One might think it makes them more obvious, particularly against a leafy green forest background. William Blake summed it up in his famous poem known by generations of schoolchildren: “Tiger, tiger, burning bright/In the forest of the night.” But now the answer is at hand.‎ While obvious to us, computer simulations(模拟) of what the big cats look to the main animals they hunt for, deer, show a different picture. Humans with normal colour vision, can see red, blue and green colours. But deer can only pick up blue and green light, they are effectively colourblind to the colour red, like some humans. It means the tigers’ orange colouration looks green to them, allowing them to mix perfectly into the background, new research claims.‎ Dr. John Fennell at the University of Bristol and colleagues said that they used computers to estimate how noticeable a given animal was. They did this by using images of the environment in which the animal lives, and then creating images to see whether the camouflage helps the animal to mix in.‎ Dr. Fennell writes that by simulating what the world looks like to animals who are “two-colour vision”—someone who cannot discover the difference between red and green—“we also identify the most suitable colours for hiding and visibility”.‎ Dr. Fennell writes in the Royal Society Journal Inter face: “Considering the coat of a tiger, it has fur that appears orange to a three-colour vision observer rather than some shade of green, though the latter should be more appropriate color for an attack hunter in forests. However, when viewed as a ‎ two-colour vision observer, the tiger’s colour is very effective.”‎ The question then arises as to why tigers don’t grow green coats. Dr. Fennell and colleagues write that mammals(哺乳动物) are not able to produce green fur. To do so would “require a significant change to mammalian biochemistry”. There is only one mammal known to have green fur but this is achieved through what might be considered as, well, cheating, not exactly real.‎ ‎32. Why does the author mention the poem in paragraph 1?‎ A. To arouse readers’ interest in poems. B. To show the author’s respect to the poet.‎ C. To answer the question of the color of the tiger D. To stress the noticeable color of the tiger to us.‎ ‎33. What color is inexistent in the eyes of deer?‎ A. Black. B. Red. C. Blue. D. Green.‎ ‎34. What does the underlined word “camouflage” mean in paragraph 3?[]‎ A. The cover of something. B. The images of something.‎ C. The way of hiding something. D. The way of hunting for something.‎ ‎35. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?‎ A. The colour of tigers sometimes cheats people.‎ B. Getting green may prevent tigers from being extinct.]‎ C. There are no mammals with real green fur in the world.‎ D. The tigers’ fur will probably evolve into green in the future.‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ It’s often said that your parents’ job is to make sure that one day you no longer need them. And that’s certainly the case by the time you have kids of your own. However, this is precisely the time when your parents start to need you. How do you talk to your aging parents about their health? 36 , but these tips make it easier.‎ Before a conversation, you had better establish yourself as a friend, not an enemy. Always start with an “I” statement, not a “you should” statement. 37 .‎ Scientists recommend beginning a conversation about something you’re doing—taking up yoga to stay slim, for instance. ‎ ‎38 . And you can even have her commit to doing it with you. When you’re a friend day-to-day, your parents will trust you and be able to depend on you during a health crisis.‎ ‎ 39 . Start by equipping them with a smartphone that’s designed for seniors. Staying in close phone contact will keep you informed of any arising health issues. It will help you pick up on faults in their memory, too.‎ Your parents are your parents until they’re gone. Do not treat them like children. Even if you find that there’s an emergency going on, you can make suggestions, but they have the right to make decisions, especially if there’s no cognitive(认知的) disorder. 40 , helping your parents in their later years is the least you can do. With the proper measures and technology, it can get easier and feel even more rewarding.‎ A. Just as they have been there for you B. It may not be a simple conversation to have C. It can mean changes in your parents’ schedule D. Scientists also suggests phoning your parents regularly E. That can lead to asking your mom what she’s doing to keep fit F. Talk about affairs about yourself first, then extend them to your parents G. Scientists recommend opening the door to dialogue instead of calling them 第三部分：英语知识运用(共两节，满分45分)‎ 第一节：完型填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给各题的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ The school I attended carried out a tradition during the eighth grade graduation.
