A fashion blogger in her late 70s proved that fashion is for all ages as she showcased different styles and outfits on social media.
For Candace Leslie Cima, aging is inescapable but it shouldn’t keep older people in a box, especially when it comes to beauty and fashion. That she’s old doesn’t mean she can’t wear beautiful and stylish clothes. This is what Cima always tells people when they question her fashion statement.
Cima’s journey to challenging aging began when she created her social media account at 72. She wanted to know what influencers were like and discovered there weren’t many of them in her age group. This inspired her to create her own fashion blog and upload fashion videos on social media platforms.
Cima grew her social media presence through her ongoing documentation called “Life in My 70s”. Her videos became famous on the Internet and gained millions of views. One of her most popular videos had 7.5 million views while the other one had 5.6 million views.
A lot of her viewers were amazed by her creativity in mixing and matching different fashion pieces. Others admired her for looking really good at her age and wearing whatever she wanted. One of the commenters wrote, “If I’m not like this when I am older, then I don’t ever want to be 75.”
Apart from uploading fashion videos, Cima is also devoted to her fashion blog where she writes about fashion and aging. Her blog’s goal is to inspire women from all walks of life and to remind them that aging is a natural but beautiful process that no one should be scared of. She wants to inspire women to accept these changes and look at them positively.
“The only way that view is going to change is that we as older women show them that aging is a gift, something to be accepted, value d and shared,” the fashion blogger wrote.
（ ）24．Which of the following reflects Cima’s opinion on aging
A．It keeps older people in a box.
B．It does not affect the pursuit of beauty.
C．It means no beautiful and stylish clothes.
D．It limits the fashion choices of the elderly.
（ ）25．Why did the author mention Cima’s videos
A．To show her popularity. B．To inspire others to follow her.
C．To prove her viewpoints. D．To recommend them to readers.
（ ）26．What suggestions does Cima give to women
A．Accepting what you are like. B．Reviewing your way of life.
C．Doing whatever you want to. D．Being positive about getting old.
（ ）27．What can we learn from Cima’s story
A．Getting old doesn’t mean you have to accept it.
B．No one can disappoint you except yourself.
C．Every stage of life can be beautiful and brilliant.
D．We must seek victory in defeat and hope in despair.
C
Animals being extinct from the Earth is a serious issue. When this happens in order to use their fur or skin for fashion, it is even worse, since it’s not even for a matter of human survival. That’s why a London zoo decided to make a powerful statement at the Siamese crocodile enclosure （鳄鱼围栏）.
When visitors come in expecting to see a crocodile, they’re greeted with the handbag instead, making a very effective and powerful point about illegal wildlife trade and the harm it takes on the species involved.
A sign by the enclosure reads, “This bag used to be found swimming in slow-moving rivers and streams across Southeast Asia and Indonesia. Over the last 75 years, more than 80% of Siamese crocodiles have disappeared. Many, like this one, were hunted for their skins as part of the illegal wildlife trade.”
Native to parts of Southeast Asia, Siamese crocodiles are critically endangered and have become virtually extinct in the wild. Due to hunting as well as habitat loss, they are now absent from nearly 99% of their original range. A huge part of the decline of population is due to humans using their wetland habitat for rice farming, and things only took a turn for the worse when large-scale hunting for their skin for commercial purposes began in the 1950s.
The particular handbag that is on display at the zoo was confiscated at a UK airport, according to Benjamin Tapley, leader of reptiles and amphibians at ZSL London Zoo.
Tapley told The Huffington Post, “We made this exhibit, within ZSL London Zoo’s Reptile House, to draw visitors’ attention to the destructive impact the Illegal Wildlife Trade (IWT) is having on species around the world. At ZSL, we are working globally with governments and local communities to protect wildlife, support law enforcement （执法） that targets illegal trade networks, empower local communities affected by IWT and reduce demand for threatened wildlife.”
（ ）28．Why does the sign say this handbag used to swim
A．It is made into a crocodile shape. B．It is made of a crocodile’s skin.
C．It is light enough to float on water. D．It was kept in flowing river at first.
（ ）29．What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A．Wildly hunting of Siamese crocodiles.
B．Destruction of Siamese crocodiles’ habitats.
C．Commercial value of Siamese crocodiles.
D．Causes to make Siamese crocodiles endangered.
（ ）30．What does the underlined word “confiscated” in paragraph 5 mean
A．Seized. B．Sold. C．Found. D．Stolen.
（ ）31．What does Tapley’s words focus on
A．The importance of wildlife protection. B．The crisis endangered animals are facing.
C．The purpose to show the handbag. D．The harm IWT caused.
D
Thinking of getting your child to take up a sport that involves （牵涉） a coach or instructor Good news: A new study finds that children who take part in organized physical activity at a young age are less likely to have emotional difficulties by the time they turn 12.
“The elementary school years are a key time in child development,”said Frederic N. Brier, a psycho-education professor who led the study, published this month in Pediatric Research. “And every parent wants to raise a well-adjusted child.”
Researchers followed a birth group over time to examine whether continual participation in organized sport from 6 to 10 would lower risks related with emotional distress, anxiety, shyness, social pullback at the age of 12. Their goal was to test this question as critically as possible by eliminating （排除） pre-existing child or family conditions that could offer an alternative explanation.
To do this, Brier and his team examined data from a group of children born in 1997 or 1998 who are part of the Quebec Longitudinal Study of Child Development. From age 6 to 10, mothers reported whether their children participated in organized physical activity. At the age of 12, teachers reported on the children’s levels of emotional distress, anxiety, shyness, and social pullback at school.
“The results revealed that children who participated frequently from 6 to 10 showed fewer instances of those factors at the age of 12 than their peers who did not join in physical activity in a continual way,” said Brier. “We found these benefits above and beyond pre-existing individual and family characteristics.”
“Getting kids actively involved in organized sport seems to promote global development. This involvement appears to be good on a socio-emotional level and not just because of physical benefits. Being less emotionally distressed at the key stage between elementary and high school is a priceless benefit for children, as they are about to enter a much larger universe with bigger academic challenges. This research supports current parental guidelines promoting children’s involvement in physical activity,” Brier concluded.
（ ）32．Why did Brier’s team follow a birth group over time
A．To test their guess. B．To check their health.
C．To offer alternative explanation. D．To record their mental conditions.
（ ）33．How did the researchers reach their conclusion
A．By doing survey on teachers. B．By analyzing and comparing data.
C．By eliminating other factors. D．By organizing physical activities.
（ ）34．What does Brier think of the results
A．They have broad prospect. B．They need further testing.
C．They are beyond his imagination. D．They are in line with his expectation.
（ ）35．What can be a suitable title for the text
A．Kids will benefit from organized sport
B．Organized sport promotes emotional conditions
C．Sticking to organized sport can help kids adjust
D．School education is critical for child development

The kid should walk with his arms outstretched and place the tail as soon as he touches the wall. 40 . Then gather everyone to examine the picture and identify the winner the player who has made the best attempt to pin the tail on the donkey in the proper position.
A．Now, the game is popular worldwide

C．When touching the wall, the kid should stand still
D．It’s a western game primarily used at parties for kids
E．To play the game, you need to prepare certain objects

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。
A co-worker invited my husband and me to his son’s wedding reception. We’d worked in the same office with the gentleman for several years. Although neither of us had met his son, we felt like we knew him from listening to his dad talk about him so often.
We arrived at the dinner center and walked into a gorgeously decorated ballroom. I glanced around for fellow co-workers, hoping they’d saved us a seat, but didn’t recognize a soul. Scanning the room again, I zeroed in on the gift table and a small white box for wedding cards. I walked over and put my envelope into the box before joining my husband at the open bar to enjoy a big meal.
The wedding party danced in, and the happy couple greeted guests as they made their way to the head table filled with beautiful flowers. The bride g room shook hands with us and thanked us for sharing their special day. My husband remarked, “You sure look like your dad.” I nodded in agreement and added, “Same personality, too.” The bride g room smiled knowingly. “That’s what they all say.”
We found two seats at an empty table and then joined the long buffet （自助餐） line that stretched past an open doorway. I looked up just as a woman from our office and her husband walked by. Stepping out of line, I stretched my neck and watched them enter the ballroom down the hall. In a slight panic, I told my husband that we were at the wrong reception and we had to go. He asked, “What about the card ”
We shyly made our way to the gift table. My eyes looked left and right, waiting for nobody coming close. Hands shaking, I tried to lift the metal clasp （搭扣） on the small box. It wouldn’t move. I leaned in closer and knocked over a tall, thin box covered with bright silver paper, causing it to turn over forward. From out of nowhere, a man appeared by my side and caught the present before it hit the floor.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
He asked in a cold voice, “What can I do for you ” After what seemed like forever, I found the envelope.

W: Well, what are you going to do this weekend
M: Sit on my sofa at the weekend and watch TV. You know I haven’t watched TV for a long time. And I think it will be a busy weekend.
W: I don’t know how you can do that all the weekend, Gordon. I’d get bored.
M: I know, I know. But that’s really what I want to do.

W: Hello, everyone. I’d like to make a brief introduction to the British Library, which is the national library of the United Kingdom. The British Library was founded in 1973 and is one of the world’s greatest libraries. The library opens to the public from Monday to Saturday, except for public holidays. It has newspapers, popular publications as well as letters of historical value. The library’s collection has maps, photographs, art prints, movies, sound recordings and musical instruments. All together, it has more than 150 million items in its collection. It includes around 14 million books, along with plenty of handwritten and historical items dating back as far as 2,000 B C. It also has a wide collection of stamps of the world which are on show for visitors. The library also offers other events like music and discussion. The library is open to everyone who needs to use its collections. Anyone with an ID card who wishes to carry out research can apply for a reader pass; they are required to provide proof of address for security purposes.
