Growing up in Germany was tough on his family because they were Jewish. Many people there didn’t like Jews and made it difficult on Levi and his family. After his father died from tuberculosis, Levi boarded a ship and headed to America with his mom and two sisters.‎ They lived in New York City where his brothers had opened a dry goods business. Levi worked for his brothers. He learned about the merchant business and how to run a store.‎ Levi had heard about the California Gold Rush and thought this would be an excellent opportunity for a new business. In 1853, he boarded a ship bound for California. ‎ Once in San Francisco, Levi opened up a dry goods store called Levi Strauss&Co. One big advantage that Levi had over other stores was that he was able to get supplies from his brothers in New York. He sold all sorts of products including sewing supplies, clothing, canvas for tents, bedding, and tools.‎ Over the years, Levi’s business grew. In 1872, Levi Strauss was approached by a Nevada tailor named Jacob Davis. Davis had invented a new way to make durable work pants. He would hammer metal rivets(铆钉)into the pockets to make them last longer. Davis, however, could not make enough of them and he needed help. Strauss hired Davis and began to manufacture the new type of pants in volume(大量). He also patented(取得专利)the rivet process. At first these new pants were made with canvas(帆布),but eventually Strauss began to use a tough material called denim(牛仔布). The denim was dyed blue to hide stains .Strauss called these pants “waist high overalls “,but they eventually became known as “Levi’s” or “blue jeans.”‎ The pants were very popular and soon Levi had built a large factory just to manufacture the pants. He continued to sell other items, but he became famous and made the most money off of his unique pants.‎ ‎ Levi Strauss died in San Francisco on September 26, 1902. He was 73 years old. ‎ ‎21. We can learn from the passage that_____________‎ A. While living in New York, Levi opened up a dry goods store called Levi Strauss&Co. ‎ B. Levi had invented a new way to make durable work pants.‎ C. Davis hammered metal rivets(铆钉)into the pockets to make durable work pants.‎ D. Strauss use a tough material called canvas, which was known as “Levi’s” .‎ ‎22.

He sold all sorts of products including sewing supplies, clothing, canvas for tents, bedding, and tools.‎ C. He was the first one who opened up a dry goods store in San Francisco D. His brothers were able to offer supplies to him in New York ‎23. Which of the following can’t describe Levi Strauss?‎ A. intelligent B. stubborn C. hardworking D. extraordinary B Of the many Valentine’s Day traditions, one of the most enduring is the classroom card exchange. Each year, elementary school children choose a box of valentines featuring their latest favorite superhero, princess, snack, Internet meme, etc., fill out a card for each of their 25 or so classmates, and distribute the cards among their peers’ decorated shoeboxes during class time. While a fun entertainment for kids, especially if they persuaded their caregivers to splurge on cards that include stickers or glue sticks, parents have complained about the custom for years. Many adults may wonder how a holiday obviously meant to celebrate romance was usurped(篡夺)by children. More importantly though, they may ask: “Why do we give Valentine’s Day cards ‎ anyway?”‎ The custom of trading valentines seems to have begun in Europe and the United States in the 18th century, but some legends attribute the exchange of affectionate greetings to St. Valentine himself. Valentine may have been the name of one or two martyred Christians: one is said to have been a priest and physician in Rome and the other a bishop in Terni, Italy. Both are said to have been executed(处决) on February 14 about the year 270 and could very well have been the same person. In any case, stories describe how Valentine was condemned to death for defying the emperor by secretly marrying couples to spare the husbands from war. It is said that Valentine, while in prison, befriended (or, in some versions of the story, fell in love with) his jailer’s daughter, whom he also miraculously cured of blindness. The night before his execution, he is said to have written her a farewell message and signed off with “Your Valentine.”‎ Valentine’s Day is popular in the United States as well as in Britain, Canada, and Australia, and it is also celebrated in other countries, including Argentina, France, Mexico, and South Korea.The holiday has expanded to expressions of affection among relatives and friends. Traditional gifts include candy and flowers, particularly red roses, a symbol of beauty and love.‎ ‎24. What can we learn from passage? ‎ A.

The ancient Greeks, who believed a form of fighting for the sake of sport had been invented by the gods on Mount Olympus, were known to take in a sport like boxing and in 688 BCE, it was made a part of the Olympic Games. ‎ It is a combat sport where two people engage in a contest of strength. It is an intense sport where boxers throw punches at each other with gloves. The game is controlled by a referee, who officiates a series of one to three minute rounds depending on whether they are professional or amateur fights. In professional boxing matches they can last up to three minutes long and the bouts can last anywhere between four to thirteen rounds.  The main objective in professional boxing is to win each round or get a knock out. If a boxer knocks his opponent down or hits him hard enough for the referee to instigate a ‘standing count’, he rarely loses the round. In amateur boxing the bouts are usually around three to four rounds long and only last up to two minutes. Amateur boxing can be found at events like the Olympic Games and Commonwealth Games, and the objective is to win points by landing more scoring shots on the opponents target area. Towards the start of the twentieth century, America began to take an interest in boxing and Britain’s stranglehold on the world titles began to wane(衰退). Throughout the century, new weights, rules, safety guidelines and boxing commissions have gradually been introduced and today boxing is recognized as one of the most popular sports on the planet, bringing in hundreds of millions of dollars each year and entertaining countless people in the process.‎ ‎28. What can we know from the first paragraph?‎ A. More than two can engage in the competition.‎ B. Boxers took part in the sport for money in ancient times.‎ C. The ancient Greeks held some kind of belief about boxing.‎ D. Boxing has only been a part of the Olympic Games for 1400 years.‎ ‎29. Which is true according to the passage?‎ A. The main objective in professional boxing is to win points. ‎ B. Time in amateur boxing may be shorter than that in professional boxing.‎ C. The boxer who knocks the other one down can definitely win the round.‎ D. The boxers can get more points by hitting his opponents everywhere.‎ ‎30. What is the meaning of the underlined word “instigate” in paragraph 3?‎ A. start B. stop C. convince D. continue ‎31. Where might the text be taken from? ‎ A. A book review. B. A sport magazine. C. A science fiction. D.
