Luckily, fashion trends in the UK mean that getting the right image doesn’t have to cost the earth. Here’s a quick guide to which looks are hot this year.‎ For girls, the 70s are back. Wide-legged jeans, platform shoes and skirts that ‎ reach the feet are again in fashion among UK teens, topped off with colored, shining eyeshadow. Girls can have fun mixing and matching bright shades. Colors like pink, orange and light yellow-green are all perfectly fit. Shorts and mini-skirts are still popular in cold weather. By wearing a pair of tights underneath ( 在..底下), girls can stay warm as well as fashionable in the winter.‎ How about boys? To look lively, fans of skateboards and snowboards can dress in skinny jeans accompanied by a T-shirt topped off with a baseball cap or a woolen hat. Music is often an inspiration for fashion, and hip-hop music fans like to dress in baggy jeans, T-shirts, baseball caps and sneakers.

In April 1998, he learned he would need a heart operation. It was the kind of news that leads to some serious thinking about life’s purpose.‎ ‎ Not long after the surgery, Tim saw a brochure describing Imagination Library, a program started by Dolly Parton’s foundation that mailed a book every month to children from birth to age five in the singer’s hometown of Sevier‎, ‎Tennessee. “I ‎ thought, maybe Linda and I could do something like this when we retire,” Tim recalls. He placed the brochure on his desk, “as a reminder.”‎ ‎ Five years later, now retired and with that brochure still on the desk, Tim clicked on imaginationlibrary.com. The program had been opened up to partners who could take advantage of book and postage discounts.‎ ‎ The quality of the books was of great concern to the Richters. Rather than sign up online, they went to Dollywood for a looksee. “We didn’t want to give the children rubbish,” says Linda—reviewed each year by teachers, literacy specialists and Dollywood board members—include classics such as Ezra Jack Keat’s The snowy Day and newer books like Anna Dewdney’s Llama Llama series.‎ ‎ Satisfied, the couple set up the Richter Family Foundation and got to work. Since 2004, they have shipped more than 12,200 books to preschoolers in their area. Megan Williams, a mother of four, is more than appreciative: “This program introduced us to books I’ve never heard of.”‎ ‎ The Richters spend about $400 a month sending books to 200 children. “Some people sit there and wait to die,” says Tim. “Others get as busy as they can in the time they have left.”‎ ‎38. What did Tim want to do after learning about Imagination Library?‎ A. Give out brochures. B. Do something similar.‎ C. Writer books for children. D. Retire from being a teacher.‎ ‎39.

Why did the Richters go to Dollywood?‎ A. To avoid signing up online. ‎ B. To meet Dollywood board members.‎ C. To make sure the books were the newest. ‎ D. To see if the books were of good quality.‎ ‎41. What can we learn from Tim’s words in the last paragraph?‎ A. He needs more money to help the children. ‎ B. He wonders why some people are so busy.‎ C. He tries to save those waiting to die. ‎ D. He considers his efforts worthwhile.‎ D When Luke went to university he thought he would be on a new journey in life and getting his own place. In the UK, it’s common to fly the nest at a fairly young age. Many choose a flat-share; others make plans to get on the property ladder.‎ ‎ But the current economic situation forced Luke back to his mum’s house at the age of 27. And he’s not alone: a quarter of young adults in the UK now live with their parents. The Office for National Statistics said more than 3.3 million adults between the ages of 20 and 34 were living with their parents in 2013.‎ Lack of jobs and the high cost of renting accommodation made Luke change his plans. He’s upset. "There’s something very difficult about being an adult living in an environment where you’re still a child," he says. "It limits me socially; sometimes I feel it limits me professionally."‎ Indeed, many young people have no choice but to stay at "the hotel of Mum and Dad".‎ Krissy had to return home after a year away and now lives in rather terrible conditions, sharing the family’s three-bedroom house with her sisters. She says they end up getting on each other’s nerves when it’s time to use the bathroom in the morning.‎ Of course, living with your parents is not unusual in some countries. Economic conditions, culture, or family traditions mean many young people stay at home until they get married. Even then, it can be too expensive to rent or buy a house and the married couples continue to live at one of their parents’ homes.‎ ‎ But some parents seem to enjoy having their kids back at home. Janice’s daughters are part of what’s being called "the boomerang generation". She says, "I get to share their lives with them, and I’ve got to know them all as adults. We have the sort of conversations that good friends do."‎ ‎ So for some it’s a win-win situation — spending time with your families, and ‎ saving money.‎ ‎42. How is the passage developed?‎ A. By listing figures B. By making comparisons ‎ C. By analyzing causes D. By giving examples ‎43. We can learn from the passage that 　　　.‎ A. living with parents is common in some countries B. all the parents enjoy living with their children C. the author approves of children’s living with parents D. Janice belongs to a group called "the boomerang generation"‎ ‎44. What does the underlined sentence mean in the fifth paragraph?‎ A. They get on very well with each other.‎ B. They shout at each other angrily.‎ C. They finally make each other annoyed.‎ D. They are unwilling to share with each other.‎ ‎45. What is the purpose of the passage?‎ A. To persuade children into living on their own after getting married.‎ B. To show the present situation of young people living with their parents.‎ C. To compare the advantages and disadvantages of living with parents.‎ D. To present the problems young adults may face after going to university.‎ 第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）‎ ‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出五个最佳选项填入空白处。‎ As you’re busy with your studies, the weeks during the Spring Festival can be a time when training and healthy eating plans go out of the window.
