Vera Wang, the queen of red-carpet dressing, didn’t go into the fashion business with stars in her eyes. She knew about its unattractive side, the hard work and, especially, the risks. And there were plenty of doubts along the way.

Bui every time even one person understands what she’s trying to express with a certain design, she’s reminded of the reason why she became involved in fashion, and why she’s still in it: her efforts pay off when she’s helped a woman look and feel her best.

Wang, 63, was honored for lifetime achievement by the Council of Fashion Designers of America on June, 2013 at its famous awards show, which is often called “the Oscars of fashion”.

Her hit designs include Chelsea Clinton’s crystal-waistband wedding gown in 2010.

Wang also has two lower-priced lines. She’s developed a fragrance business and home-goods collection. And she has a branded flower bouquet business.

Wang wasn’t always sure this would be her path. She studied art history at Sarah Lawrence College and was a figure skater competing for a spot on the 1968 U. S. Olympic team. Her family wasn’t supportive of fashion as a career path, and although they had some financial means, they didn’t back her. So she went to work as an editor at Vogue, and then at Ralph Lauren, before starting her company in 1990 as a bridal brand She earned fame and respect through hard work.

Her mentor(导师) described Wang as “a unique young woman filled with a rare passion for fashion”. “In all the years since, I have watched her drive, devotion and talent shape an entire world inspired by her own life--first as a bride, then as a wife and mother, but always as a strong and beautiful woman,” Lauren said.

21. What is Vera Wang's attitude towards the fashion business?

A. She doubts whether she has made the right decision.

B. She considers it to be nothing but risks and hard work.

C. She thinks it worthwhile although not easy to do.

D. She is always sure that it will be her lifelong career.

22. The underlined sentence suggests that .

A. her designs are popular with famous people B. she is a successful actress in Hollywood

C. she is an honored guest at an A-list wedding D. her name often appears in a Hollywood event

23. What can we learn about Vera Wang from the passage?

A. She came from a poor family.

B. She was also great at sports.

C. She showed no interest in lower-priced business.

D. She became a dress designer directly after graduation.

24. Which of the following is not the reason for her success?

C. Her hard work. D. Her talent.

B

American English is full of colorful expressions. One such expression is to touch all bases.

There are four bases in baseball—first, second, third and home plate. Together, the bases form a diamond shape. When a baseball player hits the ball，he must run to each base—in order—and touch it with his foot. It is the only way to score a point. If the player hits the ball and fails to touch all the bases，the point will not be counted.

The importance of touching all the bases was shown at the start of the 1974 baseball season. Hank Aaron was a player with the Atlanta Braves team. He was seeking the record for hitting the most home runs. Aaron needed just one home run to equal the record held by Babe Ruth, the greatest hitter in baseball history. Aaron got that home run the very first time he had a chance to hit the ball. That gave him 714 home runs—the same as Babe Ruth.

After that day，baseball fans held their breath every time it was Hank Aaron’s turn to hit. When would he hit home run number 715?

The wait was not long. In the second week of the season, Aaron again hit the ball over the wall. He had beaten Babe Ruth’s record. But first, he had to run around the four bases. The other players on his team watched carefully to make sure he touched each one.

So, to touch all bases means to do what is necessary to complete an activity.

The expression is used in business and politics. No business deal or political campaign is really complete until you discuss all the issues involved. Or, as it is said，until you touch all bases.

A professional diplomat in reporting on negotiations with diplomats from different countries may say they “touched all bases” during many hours of talks. This means they explored all issues involved in the situation.

25. Which of the following player will score in a baseball game?

A. One who runs to the fourth base directly.

B. One who hits the ball and runs to each base in order.

C. One who hits the ball and fails to touch all the bases.

D. One who hits the ball over the wall that surrounds the playing field.

26. Why did baseball fans pay so much attention to Hank Aaron?

A. Because he was the greatest hitter in baseball history.

B. Because he would touch all the bases.

C. Because the team he was playing for was famous.

D. Because he would set a new record.

27. Which example can best explain the meaning of “to touch all bases”？

A. Politicians talk about some hot issues of the campaign.

B. A student reviews several difficult points for the exam.

C. A reporter gives readers a complete picture of an event.

D. Some businessmen discuss the important problems in the deal.

28. What’s the purpose of this passage?

A. To introduce an expression. B. To explain baseball rules.

C. To describe a baseball game. D. To tell the story of a baseball player.

C

Bad news travels fast--when you watch the evening news or read the morning papers, it seems that things that get the most coverage are all tragedies like wars, earthquakes, floods, fires and murders.

This is the classic rule for mass media. “They want your eyeballs and don't care how you’re feeling,” Jonah Berger, a psychologist at the University of Pennsylvania, U.S., told The New York Times.

But with social media getting increasingly popular, information is now being spread in different ways, and researchers are discovering new rules—good news can actually spread faster and farther than disasters and other sad stories.

Berger and his colleague Katherine Milkman looked at thousands of articles on The New York Times' website and analyzed the “most e-mailed” list for six months.

One of his findings was that articles in the science section were much more likely to make the list Those stories aroused feelings of awe(敬畏) and made the readers want to share this positive emotion with others.

Besides science stories, readers were also found to be likely to share articles that were exciting or funny. “The more positive an article, the more likely it was to be shared,” Berger wrote in his new book. “For example, stories about newcomers falling in love with New York City,” he writes, “tended to be shared more than the death of a popular zookeeper.”

But does all this good news actually make the audience feel better? Not necessarily. According to a study by researchers at Harvard University, people tend to say more positive things about themselves when they’re talking to a bigger audience, rather than just one person, which helps explain all the perfect vacations that keep showing up on micro blogs. This, researchers found, makes people think that life is unfair and that they’re less

happy than their “friends”.

But no worries. There’s a quick and easy way to relieve the depression you get from viewing other people’s seemingly perfect lives turn on the television and watch the news. There is always someone doing worse than you are.

29. Bad news covers most papers because A. the public care for reading tragedies B. mass media want to attract the public’s attention

C. the public intend to express sympathy for victims D. mass media appeal to the public to help victims

30. Which of the following might be e-mailed most according to Berger?

A. The perfect vacation of your friend. B. The death of a popular zookeeper.

C. The story of a determined inventor. D. The flood hitting a small town.

31. We can infer from the passage that .

A. bad news always makes people sad

B. people prefer to share bad news with a bigger audience

C. people can relieve the depression by reading good news

D. good news sometimes has negative influence

32. What would be the best title for the passage?

A. Good News Spreads Fast. B. Bad News Travels Fast

C. The Effect of Bad News. D. The Power of Good News

D

Copenhagen has been the capital of Denmark for 600 years and is also the largest city in Scandinavia, but it hasn’t let these high-ranking facts go to its urban head—the city remains a low-level approach to the modernization. From the harbor you can get a feel for the attractive “city of green spires(尖塔).” In cloudy weather, the copper-covered spires of old castles and churches lend the city a dream-like atmosphere. You’ll think you’ve stepped into a watercolor painting.

Architecturally, Copenhagen has more than its share of interesting sights, from the palace of Christiansborg Slot to the scenic tower of Vor Frelsers Kirke. The Danish capital pretty much covers all the needs of the international visitors, and does it in a typical Scandinavian way.

Copenhagen got its name from the word kben-havn, which means “merchants’ harbor”. It grew in size and importance because of its position on the body of water between Denmark and Sweden, guarding the entrance to the Baltic.

From its humble(低下的) beginnings, Copenhagen has become the largest city in Scandinavia, home to

1.5 million people. It's the seat of one of the oldest kingdoms in the world.

Over the centuries Copenhagen has suffered more than its share of disasters. In the 17th century the Swedes repeatedly besieged it, and in the 18th century it suffered the plague(瘟疫) and two destructive fires. Its last major disaster occurred in 1940 when the Nazis invaded Denmark and seized it until 1945 when the British army moved in again, this time as liberators.

Copenhagen still has some of the characteristics of a village. If you forget the suburbs, you can cover most of the central belt on foot, making it a great place to visit

33. Which aspect about the city in Paragraph 1 is the most impressive according to the writer?

A. Its modernization. B. Its cloudy weather. C. Its large size. D. Its beautiful sight.

34. Which of the following topics are mentioned in the passage?

①population ②history ③agriculture ④architecture ⑤tradition

A. ①②④ B. ②③④ C. ③④⑤ D. ①②⑤

35. The underlined word “besieged” in Paragraph 5 probably means .

A. helped and rescued B. built up good relations with

C. surrounded and attacked D. signed agreements with

篇二：Spring is tht best season of the year

Spring is tht best season of the year. The weather gets warmer and warmer. My clas i'amates and I took a one-day sightseeing around our city.The scene was pretty. But when we saw the rivers along our city, I felt very sorry, and thoughit a lot.

With the development of modern agriculture and industry, more and more waste water is being poured into rivers. It has caused serious pollution. The river is becoming so dirty that no living things can live in it. The river is giving off a terrible smell.

We make an urgent appeal that measures should be taken to cope with the situation. Our government should start building various facilities such as sewage treatment!plant and encourage scientists to work out more and better ways to reduce the pollution of water. Water is tho source of our lives. It is very important to protect water.

春天是一年中最好的季节，天气变得越来越暖和。我和我的同学们进行了一次环城一日游，所到之处景色宜人。但当我看到沿着城区流过的河流时，我感到很惋惜，想了很多。 随着现代工农业的发展，越来越多的污水排进河里，河水被严重污染。河水变得如此的肮脏以致于生物不能在里面生活。河水发出难闻的气味。

我们急切呼吁采取措施改变这种状况。政府应当建立各种设备，例如污水处理厂，并且鼓励科学家们想出更多更好的办法以减少水污染。

水是生命之源，保护水资源十分重要。

My classmates and I had an outing this spring. We had a good time. But meanwhile I noticed that water pollution in our city was becoming more and more serious.

On our way, we could see women washing clothes in the river. Litter was floating on the river. Waste water produced by a chemical factory was being discharged into the river. We did not see any fish in the river. The fiver was not so clear as before. Water quality was very bad. I am worried

about it because water is important to all living things. Man can not live without water. I hope people pay more attention to this problem, especially the government. Try to control the pollution of water as early as possible.

At last I would like to say, "To protect water is to protect life."

今年春天，我和我的同学去春游，我们玩得都很高兴。但同时，我也注意到我们城市的水污染变得越来越严重了。

沿途我们看到许多妇女在河边洗衣，河面上漂着垃圾，一家化工厂正将废水排入河中。河中看不到一条鱼，河水也不像从前那样清澈了，水质很差。对此我深感担忧，因为水对于所有生物都非常重要。没有水人类将无法生存。我希望人们能多关注这个问题，特别是政府部门，争取及早解决水污染问题。

最后，我想说“保护水就是保护生命。”

如何交朋友(How to Make Friends)

Everyone needs friends. A friend can give us help and share our difficulties and happiness. But how can we make friends?

First, to make friends, you must be friendly to others. Smile at others and you are sure to get a smile in return. You should try to make a stranger feel at home wherever he happens to be. Think more of others than of yourself and never judge a person by his appearance and clothes. Second, friends should negotiate instead of quarrel. When you don＇t agree someone, please

discuss with him.

Finally, never believe in those who leave you when you are in trouble. And never leave your friend when he is in trouble. Remember, a friend in need is a friend indeed.

Friends should be faithful to each other. So long as you can put your friend＇s interests in front of yours, you will have a lot of good friends.

如何交朋友

人人都需要、朋友。朋友可以给我们以帮助，与我们共事困难和快乐。但是，怎样交朋友呢?

交朋友首先要对别人友善。你对别人微笑；肯定别人也会报以微笑。要使陌生人感到亲切，关心别人要比：关心自己为重，决不以貌取人。

其次，朋友之间应该商量而不是争吵。当与别人有分歧时，要和他一起讨论。

最后，不要相信那些在危急关头背离你的人，也不要在朋友危难时离开他。记住：患难之中见真情。

朋友应该以诚相待。只要你把朋友的利益置于你的利益之上，你就会拥有好多好朋友

Nowadays, more and more advertisements appear on newspapers,broadcasts, magazines as well as streets. People have different views on advertisements.

Some people think advertisements can help people to have a wide choice of goods and they help consumers know the goods and businessmen better. The consumers can gain not only knowledge of goods but also artistic enjoyment.

Contrary to those people, many others think advertisements are very unpleasant. Consumers are often cheated by the false advertisement on which consumers always waste a GREat deal of time. What is more, consumers feel annoyed to be interrupted when they are watching TV play. So advertisements should be limited.

But whether you like it or not, advertisements have become a part of our life.

据估计，在中国吸烟者约占总人口的一半，而且烟民的年龄越来越年轻，甚至一些中学生也在抽烟。

如今越来越多的人们已经认识到吸烟有害人体健康，但他们仍然乐此不疲。为什么?一些人认为抽烟是一种时髦，另外一些人认为抽烟很有趣，还有一些人认为吸烟可以提神。

事实上，吸烟是一种不好的习惯，它能导致很多疾病。同时，吸烟很浪费金钱。除此而外，粗心的烟民还可能引起火灾。

吸烟对人们的身体百害而无一利。它不仅有害吸烟者本人，而且对不吸烟者也会造成损害。

篇三：英语单词填空

P51 Diana’s Anniversary 戴安娜周年纪念

It has been ten years since Diana, Princess of Wales, was killed in a car crash with Dodi Al Fayed in Paris, yet she remains an iconic figure in the UK, whose image continues to dominate magazine covers and newspaper headlines.

Diana?s death triggered an outpouring of national grief and a decade of conspiracy theories, linking her death to the British security forces and even the royal family.

And she remains a media phenomenon with thousands of articles and stories appearing about her in the British press each year.

Interest in the princess is rising again as her sons, Princes William and Harry, prepare to mark the tenth anniversary of her death with a memorial service at Guard?s Chapel in London?s Wellington Barracks on Friday.

The princes are to give readings at the service, which will be attended by 500 guests, including more than 30 royals headed by the Queen, and celebrities such as Sir Elton John and UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown.

One person who won?t be attending is Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, who Princess Diana famously described as “the third person” in her marriage to Prince Charles.

Camilla, who married Prince Charles in 2005, said she feared her presence at the service “could divert attention from the purpose of the occasion”.

As well as the memorial service, Diana is being remembered with a photographic exhibition documenting her life at the National Portrait Gallery in London.

Even ten years on it seems Britain is unwilling to let go of “the people?s princess”, and that her enduring legacy is to maintain the fascination of the British people, and indeed the world.

P81A Great Musical Tradition 伟大的音乐传统

Where can you hear some of best western classical and contemporary music in Britain? The answer is at the annual Proms concerts. Every summer for the past 111 years people have enjoyed the widest possible range of music, performed to the highest standards.

The home of The Proms is The Royal Albert Hall in London, and the name comes from the season?s official title: The Henry Wood Promenade Concerts.

The Proms was the brainchild of the impresario Robert Newman, manager of the newly built Queen's Hall in London.

Together with Henry Wood, the organist, accompanist and conductor, the two man team created a particular philosophy that set the tone of the Proms in the years to come.

'I am going to run nightly concerts to train the public in easy stages,' explained Newman. 'Popular at first, gradually raising the standard until I have created a public for classical and modern music.'

From the late 1920?s the BBC has organised the Proms concerts. Since 1961 the BBC has commissioned a number of new works each season, offering Proms audiences a chance to hear the latest in musical trends from contemporary composers.

The festival now includes over 70 main Prom concerts every year. 1996 saw the launch of Proms in the Park, where huge TV screens show the concerts to audiences in the open air. There have been special events such as 'Choral Day' (1998), and '1000 years of music in a day' (1999).

A total of ten Proms are broadcast on the BBC World Service in English on Saturdays from 1900 China time until the 8th September 2007. Try 11750 and 9740 short wave, or download the latest Prom at www.bbcworldservice.com - enjoy!

An American Creation 一个美国人的创意 Happy Father's Day!

Father's Day is a fairly new celebration in the British calendar compared with Mother's Day, which has been a very popular and well celebrated festival in the UK for a very long tim

The origins of the celebration are American and it was inspired by the actions of a man named William Smart. He was a veteran of the US Civil War and his wife died giving birth to their sixth child. He raised six children alone without remarrying, which was undoubtedly unusual back in those days.

His daughter, Sonora Dodd, realised when she was an adult what her father had sacrificed for his children. It was in the early 1900s and she was actually at church one day, listening to a sermon on Mother's Day. She thought there should also be a Father's Day celebration.

And so the tradition was born, on the third Sunday every June, close to the anniversary of Sonora's father's death. Britain took the idea of Father's Day from the American celebration and it has been celebrated officially since the 1970s.

Father's Day is never quite such the big commercial event that Mother's Day is, probably because it hasn't been in existence for so long. But what do British people do for Father's Day?

Well, most people would buy their fathers a card. The card would probably have a nice message in it saying what a great Dad their father is. Some people do buy presents as well.

Popular gifts for Dads are probably ties, chocolates or socks because these are things that Dads can always use even if they don't want them. In the run-up to Father's Day, or indeed Mother's Day, there will be adverts on the TV giving us ideas of CDs or gadgets we can buy. Card shops will be full of mugs or pens and similar merchandise with 'World's Greatest Dad' written on them.

Some families might do things together to celebrate Father's Day like going for a meal. As a special treat, British people might give their Dad a bit of a rest – make him a cup of tea, or even wash his car and mow the lawn to make him feel really appreciated.

英语小故事大全

1、The Thirsty Pigeon口渴的鸽子

A PIGEON, oppressed by excessive thirst, saw a goblet of water painted on a signboard. Not supposing it to be only a picture, she flew towards it with a loud whir and unwittingly dashed against the signboard, jarring herself terribly. Having broken her wings by the blow, she fell to the ground, and was caught by one of the bystanders.

Zeal should not outrun discretion.

有只鸽子口渴得很难受，看见画板上画着一个水瓶，以为是真的。他立刻呼呼地猛飞过 去，不料一头碰撞在画板上，折断了翅膀，摔在地上，被人轻易地捉住了。 这是说，有些人想急于得到所需的东西，一时冲动，草率从事，就会身遭不幸。

2、The Boys And The Frogs 男孩和青蛙

One spring day some naughty boys were playing near a pond. They began to throw stones into the water. In the pond lived many frogs were much afraid of the boys, for the stones hurt some of the frogs. At last an old frog lifted his head out of the water and said, ¨Boys, please don?t throw stones at us.〃The boys said, ¨We are only playing.〃 ¨I know that, but please stop throwing stones, my boys. What is play to you is death to us,〃 said the old frog. So the boys stopped throwing stones and went away.

春天里的一天，一些顽皮的男孩在一个水塘边玩耍。他们开始往水里扔石块。许多生活在水塘里的青蛙非常害怕这些男孩，因为石头曾弄伤了他们中的一些。最后一只老青蛙把他的脑袋探出水面，他说：“孩子们，请别向我们扔石头。”男孩说：“我们只是在玩耍。”“我知道，但请别扔石头，孩子们。对你们而言的玩耍对我们可意味着死亡。”老青蛙说。因此男孩们不再扔石头并且离开了

3、Applauded Twice

The Head of the bureau addressed the meeting:" I have always felt strange why the audience always applauded twice. Now I have made clear. Those who listened attentively woke up those who were dozing off. That is why we heard the applause twice.” The moment his voice died down, an outburst of uproar of noise and laughter arouse, again two outbursts of noise and laughter.

4. Difference

"I can always tell a graduate class from an undergraduate class," observed the instructor in one of my graduate engineering courses at California State University in Los Angles. "When I say, 'Good afternoon,' the undergraduates respond, 'Good afternoon." But the graduate students just write it down."

5. A Good Boy

Little Robert asked his mother for two cents. "What did you do with the money I gave you yesterday?"

"I gave it to a poor old woman," he answered.

"You're a good boy," said the mother proudly. "Here are two cents more. But why are you so interested in the old woman?"

6. The Fox. and the Crow

A Fox once saw a Crow fly off with a piece of cheese in its beak and settle on a branch of a tree. ?That?s for me, as I am a Fox,? said Master Reynard, and he walked up to the foot of the tree. ?Good-day, Mistress Crow,? he cried. ?How well you are looking to-day: how glossy your feathers; how bright your eye. I feel sure your voice must surpass that of other birds, just as your figure does; let me hear but one song from you that I may greet you as the Queen of Birds.? The Crow lifted up her head and began to caw her best, but the moment she opened her mouth the piece of cheese fell to the ground, only to be snapped up by Master Fox. ?That will do,? said he. ?That was all I wanted. In exchange

for your cheese I will give you a piece of advice for the future. ?Do not trust flatterers.?

7. An old woman had a cat. The cat was very old; she could not run quickly, and she could not bite, because she was so old. One day the old cat saw a mouse; she jumped and caught the mouse. But she could not bite it; so the mouse got out of her mouth and ran away, because the cat could not bite it.

Then the old woman became very angry because the cat had not killed the mouse. She began to hit the cat. The cat said, "Do not hit your old servant. I have worked for you for many years, and I would work for you still, but I am too old. Do not be unkind to the old, but remember what good work the old did when they were young."

老猫

一位老妇有只猫，这只猫很老，它跑不快了，也咬不了东西，因为它年纪太大了。一天，老猫发现一只老鼠，它跳过去抓这只老鼠，然而，它咬不住这只老鼠。因此，老鼠从它的嘴边溜掉了，因为老猫咬不了它。

于是，老妇很生气，因为老猫没有把老鼠咬死。她开始打这只猫，猫说：“不要打你的老仆人，我已经为你服务了很多年，而且还愿意为你效劳，但是，我实在太老了，对年纪大的不要这么无情，要记住老年人在年青时所做过的有益的事情。”

8. A man was going to the house of some rich person. As he went along the road, he saw a box of good apples at the side of the road. He said, "I do not want to eat those apples; for the rich man will give me much food; he will give

me very nice food to eat." Then he took the apples and threw them away into the dust.

He went on and came to a river. The river had become very big; so he could not go over it. He waited for some time; then he said, "I cannot go to the rich man's house today, for I cannot get over the river."

He began to go home. He had eaten no food that day. He began to want food. He came to the apples, and he was glad to take them out of the dust and eat them.

Do not throw good things away; you may be glad to have them at some other time.

【译文】

一个人正朝着一个富人的房子走去，当他沿着路走时，在路的一边他发现一箱好苹果，他说：“我不打算吃那些苹果，因为富人会给我更多的食物，他会给我很好吃的东西。”然后他拿起苹果，一把扔到土里去。

他继续走，来到河边，河涨水了，因此，他到不了河对岸，他等了一会儿，然后他说：“今天我去不了富人家了，因为我不能渡过河。”

他开始回家，那天他没有吃东西。他就开始去找吃的，他找到苹果，很高兴地把它们从尘土中翻出来吃了。

不要把好东西扔掉，换个时候你会觉得它们大有用处。

9.The City Mouse and the Country Mouse

Once there were two mice. They were friends. One mouse lived in the

country; the other mouse lived in the city. After many years the Country mouse saw the City mouse; he said, "Do come and see me at my house in the

country." So the City mouse went. The City mouse said, "This food is not good, and your house is not good. Why do you live in a hole in the field? You should come and live in the city. You would live in a nice house made of stone. You would have nice food to eat. You must come and see me at my house in the city."

The Country mouse went to the house of the City mouse. It was a very good house. Nice food was set ready for them to eat. But just as they began to eat they heard a great noise. The City mouse cried, " Run! Run! The cat is

coming!" They ran away quickly and hid.

After some time they came out. When they came out, the Country mouse said, "I do not like living in the city. I like living in my hole in the field. For it is nicer to be poor and happy, than to be rich and afraid."

【译文】

城里老鼠和乡下老鼠

从前，有两只老鼠，它们是好朋友。一只老鼠居住在乡村，另一只住在城里。很多年以后，乡下老鼠碰到城里老鼠，它说：“你一定要来我乡下的家看看。”于是，城里老鼠就去了。乡下老鼠领着它到了一块田地上它自己的家里。它把所有最精美食物都找出来给城里老鼠。城里老鼠说：“这东西不好吃，你的家也不好，你为什么住在田野的地洞里呢？你应该搬到城里去住，你能住上用石头造的漂亮房子，还会吃上美味佳肴，你应该到我城里的家看看。”

I’m so glad to receive your email. I’m really sorry for this late reply.

Recently, I’ve been so busy with an important exam at the beginning of the new term that I failed to reply to your letter in time. As a senior III student, I had to devote most of my time to reviewing my lessons during the summer vacation. However, I still managed to spare some time to travel to several places of interest and read novels to refresh myself.

In the new term, I’ll work hard and try to make greater progress, hoping to be admitted to my dream university.

Best wishes. (105)
