Helen Uffner has dressed Broadway, Hollywood and TV shows for more than 40 years. But high-rise developers and Amazon distribution centers are making it impossible to store her extraordinary vintage (古董衫) collection.
Helen Uffner began her love with old clothes as a young teenager, troubling her father, who worried that people would think he could not afford proper clothes for his daughter. With the prospect (前景) of a career in period fashion lacking promise, she joined a management consultancy after college. But soon she decided to monetize (把……转换成货币) her passion.
Over the next 40 years, Helen Uffner established a celebrated business renting out vintage clothes. Initially, she ran the business out of her apartment. By the late 1990s, she moved to a 6,000-square-foot space in the clothing district.
Challenges began in 2006, when the landlord was selling the building and wanted her out. At the same time commercial rents were increasing sharply and the city’s clothing industry had all but disappeared. Eventually, in 2008, Helen Uffner Vintage Clothing moved to Long Island City.
The transition was not easy. But by 2018, Helen Uffner found herself in the same trouble. She ultimately settled into another space only to face the drama all over again—her current building is planned for being torn down to make room for the construction of a high-rise.
While COVID-19 has reduced the price of office renting, vast warehouse space of the kind Helen Uffner needs is at a premium because of the demand coming from Amazon and other e-commerce sites.
Now in her 70s, Helen Uffner has found the prospect of moving for a fourth time especially tough. “I have been making the joke that the emperor has no clothes,” Helen Uffner said, “because who will actually dress him.”
24. What was Helen’s father’s attitude toward her passion for old clothes
A. He felt nervous as her dream would cost a lot.
B. He felt his daughter would be fascinated with fashion.
C. He felt worried as people might think he couldn’t afford clothes for her.
D. He felt angry as it would be a waste of time and money.
25. Why did Helen join a management consultancy after college
A. To lay the foundation for the pursuit of her ultimate goal.
B. To monetize her passion for the clothing industry.
C. To avoid the possible bad career prospect.
D. To follow in the footsteps of her father.
26. What does the underlined phrase “at a premium” probably mean
A. Beyond reach B. On sale
C. At rest D. Under guarantee
27. What does the joke made by Helen in the last paragraph mean
A Nobody cares the appearance as survival matters most
B. People are too shallow to admit their mistakes for pursuing money
C. The art-related industry has been ignored in the urban development
D. Her age kills her passion for the extraordinary vintage collection.
【答案】24. C 25. C 26. A 27. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了Helen Uffner创办的古董服装租赁公司由于城市化发展，她所租用的仓储不断被拆除，这使得她公司的前景尤其艰难。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Helen Uffner began her love with old clothes as a young teenager, troubling her father, who worried that people would think he could not afford proper clothes for his daughter. (Helen Uffner十几岁时就爱上了旧衣服，这让她的父亲很不安，因为他担心人们会认为他买不起合适的衣服给女儿穿。)”可知，Helen Uffner从十几岁就喜欢旧衣服，这让她的父亲很不安，因为父亲担心人们可能认为他给她买不起衣服。故选C项。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“With the prospect (前景) of a career in period fashion lacking promise, she joined a management consultancy after college. (大学毕业后，她进入了一家管理咨询公司，因为她对古装行业的前景不抱希望。)”可知，由于她对古装行业的前景不抱希望，所以大学毕业后加入了一家管理咨询公司，由此可知，她加入一家咨询公司是为了避免可能出现的糟糕的职业前景。故选C项。
【26题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第六段“While COVID-19 has reduced the price of office renting, (虽然新冠疫情降低了办公室租金，)”可知，新冠疫情降低了办公室的租金，根据While可知，上下文之间表示表转折关系，结合划线短语后的“because of the demand coming from Amazon and other e-commerce sites.(由于亚马逊和其他电子商务网站的需求)”可知，尽管疫情降低了最近，但是Helen Uffner由于亚马逊和其他电子商务网站的需求，她所需的大型仓库空间仍然非常昂贵，对她来说应该是遥不可及的，由此可知，划线短语的意思“遥不可及”的意义相近。故选A项。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据尾段中的“Now in her 70s, Helen Uffner has found the prospect of moving for a fourth time especially tough. “I have been making the joke that the emperor has no clothes,” Helen Uffner said, “because who will actually dress him.”(现年70多岁的Helen Uffner发现，第四次搬家的前景尤其艰难。“我一直开玩笑说皇帝没穿衣服，”Helen Uffner说，“因为谁会给他穿衣服呢 ”)”以及上文中介绍的因为城市建设的需要，Helen Uffner不得不搬迁三次可知，这一次搬迁的前景尤其艰难的时候她说“国王没有穿衣服”指的是古董衫租赁行业由于城市发展而不得不经常搬迁，而“谁又会真正给他穿上衣服呢”指的是没有人在意这个行业，由此可知，Helen讲的笑话的意思是艺术相关产业在城市发展中被忽视。故选C项。
C
Here is a situation: you and a new acquaintance(相识的人) are having a conversation. The conversation has a pleasant atmosphere. You leave, satisfied. Hours later, a thought appears. “Ugh, I really shouldn’t have said that.” You can’t stop replaying the conversation over and over, picking out moments when you sounded like a babbling (胡言乱语的) baby. You finally conclude that you’re a fool who doesn’t know how to communicate.
What you’ve experienced is the liking gap, a theory that explains that people commonly underestimate how well they’re liked after communicating with another person. Researchers published the first study on it just a few years ago in Psychological Science. To find and demonstrate the liking gap, the researchers looked at several scenes where people were just getting to know each other: as strangers got acquainted in a lab, as freshmen got to know their roommates, and as strangers got to know each other in a workshop. In each scene, researchers asked each person how much they liked the person they talked with, and how much they thought their conversation partner liked them. Across the board, people rated their “perceived liking” lower than they were actually liked. The liking gap usually exists between newly acquainted people, but researchers say it also exists between friends who haven’t communicated with each other for a long time.
The liking gap exists because we can’t ask people how much they like us after a conversation. We have to run back over the conversation and reevaluate everything we said, wondering how it sounded to a stranger. Those guesses are often influenced by an inner talk that’s rather negative. As the researchers learned, people underestimate how well-liked they are, even in situations where the person they’re talking with gives signals(smiles or hand gestures) that they like the conversation. Because we are too absorbed in thinking about what we’re saying and how it sounds to notice those signals, the liking gap still exists.
The liking gap is important for us to understand the influence we have on other people. People like us more than we realize, which in turn means we have more influence than we realize.
One comfort is that, in the case of the college roommates, researchers found that the liking gap narrowed with time. While you may feel stupid around new people or just people you haven’t contacted for years, it is scientifically demonstrated that the feeling won’t continue. As you get to know someone better and feel more confident in your communication with them, the gap gets smaller.
28. How do you feel at last in Paragraph 1
A. Satisfied. B. Regretful. C. Surprised. D. Cheerful.
29. How did the researchers prove the existence of the liking gap
A. By comparing people’s answers. B. By observing people’s expressions.
C. By researching the content of the talks. D. By judging the views people expressed in the talks.
30. Why does the liking gap continue to exist even though positive signals are given
A. Because we are interested in the words.
B. Because we pay much more attention to ourselves.
C. Because our inner talks disagree with those positive signals.
D. Because our conversation partners give those signals out of politeness.
31. What can we infer about the liking gap according to the passage
A. It makes people feel stupid all the time. B. It reduces people’s influence on others.
C. It lets people underestimate their influence. D. It leads to less communication among people.
【答案】28. B 29. A 30. B 31. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了什么是“喜欢差距”，这个理论解释了人们通常低估了他们在与另一个人交流后被喜欢的程度。文章介绍了相关研究的内容以及带来的启发。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Here is a situation: you and a new acquaintance(相识的人) are having a conversation. The conversation has a pleasant atmosphere. You leave, satisfied. Hours later, a thought appears. “Ugh, I really shouldn’t have said that.” You can’t stop replaying the conversation over and over, picking out moments when you sounded like a babbling (胡言乱语的) baby. You finally conclude that you’re a fool who doesn’t know how to communicate.(假设有这样一种情况：你和一个新认识的人正在交谈。谈话的气氛很愉快。你心满意足地离开了。几个小时后，一个想法出现了。“呃，我真不应该这么说。”你无法停止一遍又一遍地回放这段对话，挑出那些你听起来像个咿呀学语的婴儿的时刻。你最终得出结论，你是一个不知道如何沟通的傻瓜)”可推知，你最后感觉后悔。故选B。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“In each scene, researchers asked each person how much they liked the person they talked with, and how much they thought their conversation partner liked them. Across the board, people rated their “perceived liking” lower than they were actually liked. The liking gap usually exists between newly acquainted people, but researchers say it also exists between friends who haven’t communicated with each other for a long time.(在每个场景中，研究人员询问每个人他们有多喜欢与他们交谈的人，以及他们认为他们的谈话对象有多喜欢他们。总的来说，人们对自己“感知到的喜欢”的评价低于实际得到的喜欢。这种喜好差距通常存在于刚认识的人之间，但研究人员表示，这种差距也存在于长时间没有联系的朋友之间)”可推知，研究人员通过比较人们的答案证明“喜欢差距”的存在。故选A。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Because we are too absorbed in thinking about what we’re saying and how it sounds to notice those signals, the liking gap still exists.(因为我们太专注于思考自己在说什么，听起来如何，而没有注意到这些信号，所以喜欢的差距仍然存在)”可知，即使给出了积极的信号，喜欢差距仍然存在是因为我们更加关注自己。故选B。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“People like us more than we realize, which in turn means we have more influence than we realize. (人们比我们意识到的更喜欢我们，这反过来意味着我们比我们意识到的更有影响力)”可推知，喜欢差距让人们低估了自己的影响力。故选C。
D
While tortillas (玉米粉圆饼) come to mind when Mexico is mentioned, every January 6, Mexicans’ love of bread reaches the highest point with the cutting of oval brioche (奶油蛋卷) decorated with candied fruit known as king cakes to celebrate a special festival.
Just hours before Mexicans took their first slices, hundreds of shoppers packed amid the overwhelming smell of fresh-baked bread inside the Ideal Bakery, one of Mexico City’s oldest bakeries, to buy their king cakes, known as “rosca de reyes”.
Among the big crowd was Dalia Hernandez, a 34-year-old homemaker who was thrilled to go to the bakery. “I really like coming to the bakery. Last year, only my husband came, but this time we all came because it is part of a family tradition,” she said. “The tradition of the cakes has lived on and we are so crazy about them because they are part of our culture, our identity as Mexicans.”
The king cakes have their origins in 14th-century France and Spain and got to Mexico Later. Even though the king cake is a seasonal treat eaten only during the early days of January, it’s something enjoyed by all levels of Mexican society, keeping demand high, said Oswaldo Tapia, chef for the company NTD Ingredients.
Mexico has added its own touches, making it in an oval shape and often filling it with cream. Traditionally, Mexicans had decorated their king cakes with acitron, a candied element from a particular type of cactus (仙人掌). But the government prohibited that in 2005 due to the impact on the species. Other fruits are now substituted for it.
The figurine (小雕像) of a baby is hidden inside the cakes. The person who finds the figurine in their slice is supposed to buy tamales (玉米粉蒸肉) for everyone present on February 2, another feast day.
Inside the Ideal Bakery Wednesday, Ana Morales, a 54-year-old businesswoman, recalled running through the building’s patio as a child. Her family lived in an upper part of the building so she awoke each morning to the smell of baking bread.
“This place is fascinating, beautiful,” Morales said. “Coming today for a real rosca de reyes is to live a beautiful festival. The truth is whoever doesn’t eat rosca de reyes doesn’t know Mexico. This is the taste of Mexico. It is a tradition and a privilege to be able to still enjoy bread.”
32. Why are Mexicans crazy about the king cakes according to Dalia Hernandez
A. Because they regard the king cakes as a cultural symbol of Mexico.
B. Because they are easily influenced by family members.
C. Because they believe the king cakes can help them fight against bad things.
D. Because they consider the king cakes as the best food for a family get-together.
33. What can we learn about the king cakes from the passage
A. Poor Mexicans can barely afford them.
B. They cannot be enjoyed all year around.
C. They come in a variety of shapes in Mexico.
D. They were introduced to Mexico in the early 14th century.
34. What was the problem with the king cakes decorated with acitron
A. They were not as delicious as expected.
B. They were not attractive in appearance.
C. Acitron could not be widely found in Mexico.
D. The growth of a special plant was affected.
35. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage
A. To introduce a special Mexican food.
B. To show the Mexican way to bake bread.
C. To explore the origin of a popular Mexican food.
D. To prove the popularity of a Mexican food worldwide.
【答案】32. A 33. B 34. D 35. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是墨西哥人非常喜欢的一种传统食物——国王蛋糕。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中 Dalia Hernandez 所说的“The tradition of the cakes has lived on and we are so crazy about them because they are part of our culture, our identity as Mexicans.(这种蛋糕的传统延续了下来，我们非常喜欢它们，因为它们是我们文化的一部分，是我们作为墨西哥人的身份。)”可知，Dalia Hernandez认为，这种蛋糕是墨西哥文化的一部分，是墨西哥人的身份象征，由此可知，墨西哥人非常喜爱国王蛋糕是因为他们把它看作是墨西哥文化的一部分, 即墨西哥的文化象征。故选A项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Even though the king cake is a seasonal treat eaten only during the early days of January, it’s something enjoyed by all levels of Mexican society, keeping demand high, said Oswaldo Tapia, chef for the company NTD Ingredients.(NTD Ingredients公司的主厨奥斯瓦尔多·塔皮亚(Oswaldo Tapia)说，尽管国王蛋糕是一种季节性食品，只在1月初吃，但墨西哥社会各阶层都喜欢它，因此需求很高。)”可知, 国王蛋糕是一种季节性的食品，由此可知，这种蛋糕并不是一年四季都可以享用到。故选B项。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Traditionally, Mexicans had decorated their king cakes with acitron, a candied element from a particular type of cactus (仙人掌). But the government prohibited that in 2005 due to the impact on the species.

【56题详解】
考查冠词。句意：中国屏门，又称屏风，是中国装饰中一种独特典雅的传统家具。分析句子可知，piece为可数名词单数，空前无限定词，所以此处使用冠词，结合句意可知，空处表示泛指，意为“一个，一种”，应用不定冠词，且unique的发音以辅音音素开头，应用a。故填a。
【57题详解】
考查主语从句。句意：典型的是它是由木头制成的，外观精致。分析句子可知，此处为连接词引导的主语从句，从句中缺少主语，所以使用连接代词，结合句意可知，此处指的是事物，所以使用what，且位于句首，首字母需大写。故填What。
【58题详解】
考查形容词。句意：中国屏风以其雕刻和绘画而闻名，它可以阻挡外界的风和噪音，遮住门，使房间变得私密。分析句子可知，此处为形容词作宾语补足语，privacy的形容词private意为“私密的”。故填private。

【61题详解】
考查名词。句意：建筑师认为屏风可以帮助控制房间内的能量流动的方式，并促进安宁与平静的感觉。分析句子可知，此处为名词作of的宾语，且空处和peace并列，calm的名词calmness意为“平静”，为不可数名词。故填calmness。
【62题详解】
考查过去分词。句意：屏风植根于中国文化和古代历史，它不仅仅是一个物理屏障或装饰。分析句子可知，此处为“with+宾语+宾补”结构，结合句意可知，take与its roots之间为被动关系，所以此处使用过去分词形式taken。故填taken。
【63题详解】
考查名词的数。句意：中国屏风除了具有装饰和实用功能外，还被认为是荣誉和尊重的象征。分析句子可知，此处为名词作in addition to的宾语，结合空前的“its decorative and practical”可知，功能不止一个，function应用复数形式。故填functions。
【64题详解】
考查谓语动词。句意：中国屏风除了具有装饰和实用功能外，还被认为是荣誉和尊重的象征。分析句子可知，此处为句子的谓语，结合句意可知，此处在描述一般性的事实，时态应用一般现在时，consider主语the Chinese screen之间为被动关系，所以此处使用一般现在时的被动语态，且主语为第三人称单数。故填is considered。
【65题详解】
考查状语从句中的省略。句意：无论是用来划分房间，营造私密性，还是为空间增添一丝传统的优雅，中国屏风仍然是一种受人喜爱和有价值的设计。分析句子可知，此处用了whether引导让步状语从句，且从句的主语和主句的主语一致，从句中省略了“主语+be”，use与被省略的主语the Chinese screen之间是被动关系，所以此处使用过去分词形式。故填used。

Joey sat at the kitchen table, reading the sports page of the morning paper. He heard his grand-father coming down the stairs. When his grandfather came into the kitchen, Joey could see he wasn’t his usual happy self.
“Morning, Grandfather,” he said. His grandfather sat across the table and didn’t pick up the paper to read. Instead, he asked, “Joey, is anything happening in town today ”
“There’s a ball game between Doraville Middle School and my school tonight,” Joey told him. “It’ll be a close race, but I think we’ll win. Would you like to go ”
Joey felt bad for his grandfather. He knew he couldn’t read. His grandfather had told him of-ten, “I didn’t have the chance to go to school regularly. Looking after the animals and tending to the crops on the farm were much more important in those days than learning to read.”
One day, Joey stopped at the library to look through some books. He saw a sign on the library wall. It read: “Do you know somebody who doesn’t read We can help. Just call this number.” Joey hurried home and showed the sign to his grandfather. “Somebody can teach you how to read. It says so right here,” Joey explained. Joey jotted the number down.
Several days later, Grandfather put on his best suit of clothes for his first day of school. He arrived at the library an hour early and met with his teacher. During that first class, he was so worried and nervous that he couldn’t concentrate. He couldn’t remember anything the teacher said. A few weeks later, Grandfather was studying when he looked up at Joey and said, “I’m too old to learn all of this.” He closed the book in frustration. “Oh, Grandfather, don’t get discouraged,” Joey said. Grandfather was stubborn. “I can’t do it,” he said.

Helen Uffner has dressed Broadway, Hollywood and TV shows for more than 40 years. But high-rise developers and Amazon distribution centers are making it impossible to store her extraordinary vintage (古董衫) collection.
Helen Uffner began her love with old clothes as a young teenager, troubling her father, who worried that people would think he could not afford proper clothes for his daughter. With the prospect (前景) of a career in period fashion lacking promise, she joined a management consultancy after college. But soon she decided to monetize (把……转换成货币) her passion.
Over the next 40 years, Helen Uffner established a celebrated business renting out vintage clothes. Initially, she ran the business out of her apartment. By the late 1990s, she moved to a 6,000-square-foot space in the clothing district.
Challenges began in 2006, when the landlord was selling the building and wanted her out. At the same time commercial rents were increasing sharply and the city’s clothing industry had all but disappeared. Eventually, in 2008, Helen Uffner Vintage Clothing moved to Long Island City.
The transition was not easy. But by 2018, Helen Uffner found herself in the same trouble. She ultimately settled into another space only to face the drama all over again—her current building is planned for being torn down to make room for the construction of a high-rise.
While COVID-19 has reduced the price of office renting, vast warehouse space of the kind Helen Uffner needs is at a premium because of the demand coming from Amazon and other e-commerce sites.
Now in her 70s, Helen Uffner has found the prospect of moving for a fourth time especially tough. “I have been making the joke that the emperor has no clothes,” Helen Uffner said, “because who will actually dress him.”
24. What was Helen’s father’s attitude toward her passion for old clothes
A. He felt nervous as her dream would cost a lot.
B. He felt his daughter would be fascinated with fashion.
C. He felt worried as people might think he couldn’t afford clothes for her.
D. He felt angry as it would be a waste of time and money.
25. Why did Helen join a management consultancy after college
A. To lay the foundation for the pursuit of her ultimate goal.
B. To monetize her passion for the clothing industry.
C. To avoid the possible bad career prospect.
D. To follow in the footsteps of her father.
26. What does the underlined phrase “at a premium” probably mean
A. Beyond reach B. On sale
C. At rest D. Under guarantee
27. What does the joke made by Helen in the last paragraph mean
A. Nobody cares the appearance as survival matters most
B. People are too shallow to admit their mistakes for pursuing money
C. The art-related industry has been ignored in the urban development
D. Her age kills her passion for the extraordinary vintage collection.
C
Here is a situation: you and a new acquaintance(相识的人) are having a conversation. The conversation has a pleasant atmosphere. You leave, satisfied. Hours later, a thought appears. “Ugh, I really shouldn’t have said that.” You can’t stop replaying the conversation over and over, picking out moments when you sounded like a babbling (胡言乱语的) baby. You finally conclude that you’re a fool who doesn’t know how to communicate.
What you’ve experienced is the liking gap, a theory that explains that people commonly underestimate how well they’re liked after communicating with another person. Researchers published the first study on it just a few years ago in Psychological Science. To find and demonstrate the liking gap, the researchers looked at several scenes where people were just getting to know each other: as strangers got acquainted in a lab, as freshmen got to know their roommates, and as strangers got to know each other in a workshop. In each scene, researchers asked each person how much they liked the person they talked with, and how much they thought their conversation partner liked them. Across the board, people rated their “perceived liking” lower than they were actually liked. The liking gap usually exists between newly acquainted people, but researchers say it also exists between friends who haven’t communicated with each other for a long time.
The liking gap exists because we can’t ask people how much they like us after a conversation. We have to run back over the conversation and reevaluate everything we said, wondering how it sounded to a stranger. Those guesses are often influenced by an inner talk that’s rather negative. As the researchers learned, people underestimate how well-liked they are, even in situations where the person they’re talking with gives signals(smiles or hand gestures) that they like the conversation. Because we are too absorbed in thinking about what we’re saying and how it sounds to notice those signals, the liking gap still exists.
The liking gap is important for us to understand the influence we have on other people. People like us more than we realize, which in turn means we have more influence than we realize.
One comfort is that, in the case of the college roommates, researchers found that the liking gap narrowed with time. While you may feel stupid around new people or just people you haven’t contacted for years, it is scientifically demonstrated that the feeling won’t continue. As you get to know someone better and feel more confident in your communication with them, the gap gets smaller.
28. How do you feel at last in Paragraph 1
A Satisfied. B. Regretful. C. Surprised. D. Cheerful.
29. How did the researchers prove the existence of the liking gap
A. By comparing people’s answers. B. By observing people’s expressions.
C. By researching the content of the talks. D. By judging the views people expressed in the talks.
30. Why does the liking gap continue to exist even though positive signals are given
A. Because we are interested in the words.
B. Because we pay much more attention to ourselves.
C. Because our inner talks disagree with those positive signals.
D. Because our conversation partners give those signals out of politeness.
31. What can we infer about the liking gap according to the passage
A. It makes people feel stupid all the time. B. It reduces people’s influence on others.
C. It lets people underestimate their influence. D. It leads to less communication among people.
D
While tortillas (玉米粉圆饼) come to mind when Mexico is mentioned, every January 6, Mexicans’ love of bread reaches the highest point with the cutting of oval brioche (奶油蛋卷) decorated with candied fruit known as king cakes to celebrate a special festival.
Just hours before Mexicans took their first slices, hundreds of shoppers packed amid the overwhelming smell of fresh-baked bread inside the Ideal Bakery, one of Mexico City’s oldest bakeries, to buy their king cakes, known as “rosca de reyes”.
Among the big crowd was Dalia Hernandez, a 34-year-old homemaker who was thrilled to go to the bakery. “I really like coming to the bakery. Last year, only my husband came, but this time we all came because it is part of a family tradition,” she said. “The tradition of the cakes has lived on and we are so crazy about them because they are part of our culture, our identity as Mexicans.”
The king cakes have their origins in 14th-century France and Spain and got to Mexico Later. Even though the king cake is a seasonal treat eaten only during the early days of January, it’s something enjoyed by all levels of Mexican society, keeping demand high, said Oswaldo Tapia, chef for the company NTD Ingredients.
Mexico has added its own touches, making it in an oval shape and often filling it with cream. Traditionally, Mexicans had decorated their king cakes with acitron, a candied element from a particular type of cactus (仙人掌). But the government prohibited that in 2005 due to the impact on the species. Other fruits are now substituted for it.
The figurine (小雕像) of a baby is hidden inside the cakes. The person who finds the figurine in their slice is supposed to buy tamales (玉米粉蒸肉) for everyone present on February 2, another feast day.
Inside the Ideal Bakery Wednesday, Ana Morales, a 54-year-old businesswoman, recalled running through the building’s patio as a child. Her family lived in an upper part of the building so she awoke each morning to the smell of baking bread.
“This place is fascinating, beautiful,” Morales said. “Coming today for a real rosca de reyes is to live a beautiful festival. The truth is whoever doesn’t eat rosca de reyes doesn’t know Mexico. This is the taste of Mexico. It is a tradition and a privilege to be able to still enjoy bread.”
32. Why are Mexicans crazy about the king cakes according to Dalia Hernandez
A. Because they regard the king cakes as a cultural symbol of Mexico.
B. Because they are easily influenced by family members.
C. Because they believe the king cakes can help them fight against bad things.
D. Because they consider the king cakes as the best food for a family get-together.
33. What can we learn about the king cakes from the passage
A. Poor Mexicans can barely afford them.
B. They cannot be enjoyed all year around.
C. They come in a variety of shapes in Mexico.
D. They were introduced to Mexico in the early 14th century.
34. What was the problem with the king cakes decorated with acitron
A. They were not as delicious as expected.
B. They were not attractive in appearance.
C. Acitron could not be widely found in Mexico.
D. The growth of a special plant was affected.
35. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage
A. To introduce a special Mexican food.
B. To show the Mexican way to bake bread.
C. To explore the origin of a popular Mexican food.
D. To prove the popularity of a Mexican food worldwide.

Joey sat at the kitchen table, reading the sports page of the morning paper. He heard his grand-father coming down the stairs. When his grandfather came into the kitchen, Joey could see he wasn’t his usual happy self.
“Morning, Grandfather,” he said. His grandfather sat across the table and didn’t pick up the paper to read. Instead, he asked, “Joey, is anything happening in town today ”
“There’s a ball game between Doraville Middle School and my school tonight,” Joey told him. “It’ll be a close race, but I think we’ll win. Would you like to go ”
Joey felt bad for his grandfather. He knew he couldn’t read. His grandfather had told him of-ten, “I didn’t have the chance to go to school regularly. Looking after the animals and tending to the crops on the farm were much more important in those days than learning to read.”
One day, Joey stopped at the library to look through some books. He saw a sign on the library wall. It read: “Do you know somebody who doesn’t read We can help. Just call this number.” Joey hurried home and showed the sign to his grandfather. “Somebody can teach you how to read. It says so right here,” Joey explained. Joey jotted the number down.
Several days later, Grandfather put on his best suit of clothes for his first day of school. He arrived at the library an hour early and met with his teacher. During that first class, he was so worried and nervous that he couldn’t concentrate. He couldn’t remember anything the teacher said. A few weeks later, Grandfather was studying when he looked up at Joey and said, “I’m too old to learn all of this.” He closed the book in frustration. “Oh, Grandfather, don’t get discouraged,” Joey said. Grandfather was stubborn. “I can’t do it,” he said.
