Michelle Obama made a daring decision to return to the same designer who created her Inaugural(就職) Ball dress four years ago and the risk paid off.

The First Lady looked extremely attractive in a thin，sweeping，and ruby?coloured dress by designer Jason Wu.She teamed the dramatic gown with heels by Jimmy Choo and a diamond ring by Kimberly McDonald.

She surprised the fashion establishment by returning to a Wu design which had been custom?made for her.

Four years ago at her first Inauguration Ball，Michelle shimmered in an off?white，one?shouldered floor?length couture gown by the designer.

Wu，who was 26 at the time and had only been working in fashion for three years，saw his career take off after the First Lady’s surprise decision to wear one of his dresses.

He said at the time that he was unaware she had chosen the gown and had been watching at home on his couch and eating pizza when she appeared.

After her 2013 decision，Wu told Women’s Wear Daily，“Mrs Obama likes to keep her secrets.She fooled me again.”

Wu released a women’s clothing and accessories(裝飾品) collection at Target last year and continues to be popular with the First Lady for official engagements.

The sleeveless，cross?halterneck dress with low?cut back flattered 49?year?old Michelle’s toned arms and neat waist.

It had been created especially for her by Wu and was a departure from the dark and plain colour tone she stuck to at earlier inauguration events.

Mrs Obama’s new hairstyle—she had bangs cut in on her birthday last week—had been loosely tousled for the special night.

Vice?President Joe Biden’s wife Jill also looked glamorous in a blue silk dress by Vera Wang at the Inauguration Ball.

1.Michelle Obama’s brave decision proved to be a________.

A．risk B．danger C．success D．surprise

2.According to the passage，which of the following is TRUE?

A．Joe Biden’s wife Jill also had her dress created by Wu.

B．Mrs Obama’s inaugural dresses were made by the same designer.

C．The colour tone at Michelle’s earlier inaugural events was not satisfactory.

D．Mrs Obama had straight forehead hair as her new hairstyle for the special night.

3.From the 6th and 7th paragraphs we know that________.

A．Wu didn’t know Mrs Obama had chosen his creation again

B．Wu was aware that Mrs Obama had chosen his work again

C．Mrs Obama told Wu to give away her secrets

D．Mrs Obama should have told Wu the truth

4.What does the passage mainly talk about?

A．The First Lady’s secrets.

B．Wu，a great designer.

C．Michelle Obama’s Inaugural Ball dress.

D．Mrs Obama’s 2013 decision.

China produces 58,000 tons of silk each year．Yet one of the most popular silk companies in the world is Jim Thompson, a brand based in Thailand．Thompson, a Delaware native, was trained to be an architect in the mid－1920s, but then joined the United States army during the World War II．He was soon appointed to the CIA and traveled around the world, including Thailand, where he fell in love with the people and their country．

Being aware of the potential in silk trade, Thompson returned to Thailand to start his own silk business upon his retirement in 1946. At that time, silk production was becoming weaker due to the slow collection process. To revive（振興）the business, in 1947, he took a variety of silk clothes back to New York City to see if the product would be marketable to foreign consumers. He received a positive response, so the Jim Thompson Silk Company was founded in 1948．

After the establishment of his company, silk costumes soon appeared in Broadway plays and popular films such as Ben Hur, and Thai royalty, such as Her Majesty Queen Sirikit, began wearing silk often．Many also think his work contributed greatly to the Thai economy, since the silk industry continues to employ thousands of Thai citizens even today．

Jim Thompson’s success is no mystery．However, his disappearance on March 26, 1967 certainly is one．Thompson made a trip to Malaysia to visit friends and one day , ventured into the jungle (叢林) on an afternoon walk．He was never seen again despite search parties sent out by the Royal Army Air Corps and British troops．Many have their own theories on his disappearance, but none have been completely confirmed．

1.Which statement about Jim Thompson is Not True according to Paragraph 1? ____

A. He was born in Delaware.

B. He became an architect after the war.

C. He was deeply attracted by Thailand when he traveled there.

D. His company plays an important role in the global silk market.

2.Which of the following is the correct order of the events that happened to Thompson? ____

a. Returning to Thailand to set about his own silk business．

b. Making a trip to Malaysia to visit friends.

c. Taking various silk clothes back to New York City.

d. Creating the Jim Thompson Silk Company.

A. a-c-d-b B. d-c-a-b C. a-d-c-b D. d-a-c-b

3.What does the author think of Thompson’s disappearance? ____

A. Expected B. Unbelievable C. Alarming D. Confusing

When many of us take a vacation, more than anything, we seek to relax. We spend long, lazy days on a beach chair or in a hammock (吊床). But too often, we return home, very very tired.

It doesn’t have to be this way. Come home refreshed after an active trip! And you won’t be too tired!

Active vacations are often the most relaxing ones of all. We don’t expect you to take up jogging or backpacking. Rather, we ask the sedentary (慣于久坐不動(dòng)的) vacationers to spend two to four hours a day doing things, such as walking in city streets, going to a zoo or biking beside the ocean.

These kinds of activities aren’t just good for your physical health. They improve your mental health and even your spiritual health. And they make vacations memorable and worthwhile.

Here are some fresh ideas to make your vacations as pleasurable as they are active and healthy.

◆A walk at dawn or dusk can make you feel or look young again. Try to make this a daily thing that is done regularly.

◆Don’t allow yourself to spend all your time sitting in front of the water.

◆Many of us spend a large part of our vacations on the road, either getting to and from our destinations, or using the car for sightseeing. But no matter how beautiful the scenery is, great memorable vacations don’t happen in a car seat.

1. What is the purpose of the passage?

A. To introduce the relationship between vacations and health.

B. To show us how to make our vacations relaxing.

C. To tell us where we should go for our vacations.

D. To explain to us why vacations can sometimes be boring.

2.What does the underlined word "refreshed" in Paragraph 2 mean?

A. In low spirits. B. Pleasant or cool.

C. Feeling less tired. D. Feeling regretful.

3.In the last paragraph, the author seems to advise us .

Whether you live in Seattle or the Sahara desert, the time has come to invest in a good raincoat or umbrella, a new study suggests.

As global temperatures continue to rise, more “extreme rain” events—intense, cats-and-dogs downpours—can be expected, said the study, published Monday in the journal Nature Climate Change. And that, scientists said, means an increased flood risk, particularly for the world’s driest areas. The study challenges the idea that global warming is causing dry areas to become drier and wet areas wetter.

“In both wet and dry regions, we see these great increases in heavy precipitation（冰雹）,” lead author Markus Donat, a climate scientist at the University of New South Wales, told Nature.

Donat and his team collected data from 1951 to 2010 on extreme precipitation events from 11, 000 weather stations around the world, Nature reported.

In that time, the number of days with “extreme precipitation” increased 1 percent to 2 percent per decade.

“We found a strong relationship between global warming and an increase in rainfall, particularly in areas outside of the tropics,” Donat said in a statement.

“Importantly, this research suggests we will see these extreme rainfall events increases at regional levels in dry areas, not just as an average across the globe,” Donat added.

Peter Stott, a senior climate scientist at Met Office, told Climate Central that the study’s findings are important, because more violent rainfall and flooding will “challenge our capability to adapt to a rapidly changing climate.”

As Nature reported, the research aligns（結(jié)盟）with a 2015 study that found global warming has led to a sharp increase in record-breaking precipitation events. Donat told Nature that his study should come as a warning to world governments.

1.Which of the following is one of the study’s findings?

A. Global warming is causing dry areas to become drier and wet areas wetter.

B. Extreme rain events can be expected at regional levels in dry areas.

C. Extreme rainfall events increase at regional levels in wet areas.

D. Rainfall increases particularly in the tropics areas.

2.Why does Scott think the findings are important?

A. The research aligns with a 2015 study.

B. They are about extreme precipitation events.

C. They remind us to adjust to rapid climate changes.

D. The study involves many famous climate scientists.

3.The purpose of the study is to ______.

A. encourage investors to start business in Seattle or the Sahara desert

B. persuade people to take a raincoat or an umbrella with them

C. challenge the previous findings of research on climate

D. warn world governments to focus on global warming

Last week my youngest son and I visited my father at his new home in Tucson, Arizona. He moved there a few years ago, and I was eager to see his new place and meet his friends.

My earliest memories of my father are of a tall, handsome successful man devoted to his work and family, but uncomfortable with his children. As a child I loved him; as a school girl and young adult I feared him and felt bitter about him. He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight A’s and unhappy with my boyfriends if their fathers were not as “successful” as he was. Whenever I went out with him on weekends, I used to struggle to think up things to say, feeling on guard.

On the first day of my visit, we went out with one of my father’s friends for lunch at an outdoor cafe. We walked along that afternoon, did some shopping, ate on the street table, and laughed over my son’s funny facial expressions. Gone was my father’s critical (挑剔的) air and strict rules. Who was this person I knew as my father, who seemed so friendly and interesting to be around? What had held him back before?

The next day my dad pulled out his childhood pictures and told me quite a few stories about his own childhood. Although our time together became easier over the years, I never felt closer to him at that moment. After so many years, I’m at last seeing another side of my father. And in so doing, I’m delighted with my new friend. My dad, in his new home in Arizona, is back to me from where he was.

1. What does the author think of her father before her visit to Tucson?

A. He was silent most of the time.

B. He was too proud of himself.

C. He expected too much of her.

D. He did not love his children.

2. When the author went out with her father on weekends, she would feel ____ .

A. tired B. nervous C. sorry D. Strict and hare-working.

3. What does the author think of her father after her visit to Tucson?

A. Gentle and friendly. B. More talkative.

C. More critical. D. Strict and hard-working.

4.The underlined words “my new friend” in the last paragraph refer to _____ .

A. the author’s son

B. the café owner

C. the friend of the author’s father

D. the author’s father
