8．Most fashion magazines or TV advertisements try to persuade us that we should dress in a certain way or behave in a certain manner．If we do，they tell us，we will be able to meet new people with confidence and deal with every situation confidently and without embarrassment．
Changing fashion，of course，does not apply just to dress．A barber today does not cut a boy's hair in the same way as he used to，and girls do not make up in the same way as their mothers and grandmothers did．The advertisers show us the latest fashionable styles and we are constantly under pressure to follow the fashion in case our friends think we are odd or dull．
What causes fashions to change？Sometimes convenience or practical necessity or just the fancy of an influential person can establish a fashion．Take hats for example---In cold climates，early buildings were cold inside，so people wore hats indoors as well as outside．In recent times，the late President Kennedy caused a depression in the American hat industry by not wearing hats：more American men followed his example．
There is also a cyclical pattern in fashion．In the 1920s in Europe and America，short skirts became fashionable．After World War II，they dropped to ankle length．Then they got shorter and shorter and the miniskirt was in fashion．After a few more years，skirts became longer again．
Today，society is much freer and easier than it used to be．It is no longer necessary to dress like everyone else．With no reason，you can dress as you like or do your hair the way you like instead of the way you should because it is the fashion．The popularity of jeans and the"untidy"look seems to be a reaction against the increasingly expensive fashion of the top fashion houses．
81．What do the fashion magazines or TV advertisements claim to bring us？（No more than 2words   2marks）Confidence．
82．Why does the writer take President Kennedy as an example？（No more than 14words   3marks）
To show the fancy of an influential person can establish a fashion．
83．What does the writer try to explain by talking about short skirts？（No more than 8words  2marks）
There is a cyclical pattern in fashion．
84．Why are jeans so popular according to the writer？（No more than 10words  3marks）
Because it's a reaction against the increasingly expensive fashion．．

15．MOOC （massive open online courses）is a quite new way for people to learn the subject that they are interest in．But you may find yourself unable to use it if the browser of your computer is not the right one，such as Internet Explorer 8 or Windows XP，because support for Internet Explorer 8 and Windows XP has ended．Then you may ask why．Well，IE 8 is 12 years old-that's pretty old for an operating system．
In the past 12 years you've probably gotten a new phone，maybe a new TV，and possibly even a new car．Maybe it's time for a new PC too，so you can make sure you have more memory and storage，faster processing speeds，and a higher-quality display （some even come with touch）．And they're less expensive than you might think．
We support our older operating systems much longer than most other businesses in this industry，but we can't keep supporting old operating systems and still move forward creating new and better products．We've been supporting Windows XP for the past 12 years-that's longer than we've supported any other operating system in our history and already two years longer than the standard ten years of support we normally provide．It's time for us to look ahead so we can create better products and services for you and all our customers．
We encourage you to learn more here about what end of support means，but in the end you have two options：
Option 1：Keep using Windows XP-unprotected
Option 2：Start using Windows 8.1
If you don't like the idea of your data and personal information being hacked，consider moving to Windows 8.1．

（Answer each question in no more than ten words）
56．You may have no access to MOOC if your browseris not the right one．
57．List any two of the benefits that the new personal computer can bring to youmore memory and storage；faster processing speeds；a higher-quality display；less expensive（随便选择两个即可）
58．What's the task that the writer thinks their company should do for the readers of this passage？
creating better products and services
59．Why does the writer suggest that you download and install Windows 8.1？So that tourdata and personal informationwon't behacked．

5．Every week in China，millions of people will sit in front of their TVs watching teenagers compete for the title Character Hero，which is a Chinese-style spelling bee（拼写大赛）．In this challenge，young competitors must write Chinese characters by hand．To prepare for the competition，the competitors usually spend months studying dictionaries．
Perhaps the show's popularity should not be a surprise．Along with gunpowder and paper，many Chinese people consider the creation of Chinese calligraphy（书法）to be one of their primary contributions to civilization．Unfortunately，all over the country，Chinese people are forgetting how to write their own language without computerized help．Software on smart phones and computers allows users to type in the basic sound of the word using the Latin alphabet．The correct character is chosen from a list．The result？It's possible to recognize characters without remembering how to write them．
But there's still hope for the paint brush．China's Education Ministry wants children to spend more time learning how to write．
In one Beijing primary school we visited，students practice calligraphy every day inside a specially decorated classroom with traditional Chinese paintings hanging on the walls．Soft music plays as a group of six-year-olds dip brush pens into black ink．They look up at the blackboard often to study their teacher's examples before carefully attempting to reproduce those characters on thin rice paper．"If adults can survive without using handwriting，why bother to teach it now？"we ask the calligraphy teacher，Shen Bin．"The ability to write characters is part of Chinese tradition and culture，"she reasons．"Students must learn now so they don't forget when they grow up．"says the teacher．
28．What can we learn about the Character Hero？B
A．It's open to people of all ages and all walks．
B．It draws great public attention across the country．
C．It aims to spread Chinese culture to the world．
D．It's the most-viewed TV programs in China．
29．Why are Chinese people forgetting how to write the characters？C
A．Chinese people don't refer to dictionaries very often．
B．Chinese people no longer use brush pens or practice calligraphy．
C．Chinese people needn't write by hand as often with the help of technology．
D．Chinese people are using the Latin alphabet instead of the characters．
30．According to Shen Bin，being able to write characters by hand isC．
A．necessary for adults to survive in China
B．a requirement made by the Education Ministry
C．helpful to keep Chinese tradition and culture alive
D．an ability to be developed only when you are students
31．Where does this text probably come from？D
A．A science report．B．Children's literature．C．An advertisement．D．A news report．

12．My teenage son Karl became withdrawn（孤僻） after his father died．As a single parent，I tried to do my best to talk to him．But the more I tried，the more he pulled away．When his report card arrived during his junior year，it said that he had beenabsent 95times from classes and had six falling grades for the year．In this way he would never graduate．I sent him to the school adviser，and I even begged him．Nothing worked．One night I felt so powerless that I got down on my knees and asked God for help．"Please God，I can't do anything more for my son．I'm at the end of my rope．I'm giving the whole thing up to you．"I was at work when I got a phone call．A man introduced himself as the headmaster．"I want to talk to you about Karl's absences．"Before he could say another word，I choked up （哽咽） and all my disappointment and sadness over Karl came pouring out into the ears of this stranger．"I love my son，but I just don't know what to do．I've tried everything to get Karl to go back to school and nothing has worked．It's out of my hands．"For a moment there was silence on the other end of the line．The headmaster seriously said，"Thank you for your time"，and hung up．Karl's next report card showed a marked improvement in his grades．Finally，he was even on the list of the best students at school．In his fourth year，I attended a parent-teacher meeting with Karl．I noticed that his teachers were astonished at the way he had turned himself around．On our way home，he said，"Mum，remember that call from the headmaster last year？"I nodded．"That was me．I thought I'd play a joke but when I heard what you said，it really hit me how much I was hurting you．That's when I knew I had to make you proud．"
