阅读下面四篇短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项．

　　Last month when I was taking part in a US college interview, I was asked, “ what makes you special ? ” In fact I had answered questions likes this many times since I decided to go to college in the US．college paid special attention to different achievement．For example, a person who is very good at math can go to a famous college but also can be a good football player．

　　This experience made me think again that I must try to find where my own interests might lead me．To be honest, it was not easy．However, I never felt sorry to choose this way because it helped me understand myself．If I took the College Entrance Examination,as we call it gaokao in China, it could never possibly do．

　　When I entered high school, I took gaokao seriously because it seemed to me a great way to show how good at my lessons．However,as I grew older, I realized gaokao did make me work hard at my lessons, but the pressure also pushed many other activities out of my life, like guitar―playing．Although I had no time for it, I will still get to it in the future．

　　No doubt, gaokao provides a way of choosing those who are successful in their studies．But it is really important for all of us to rethink what “ talent ” really is today．This is because we now live in a world in which all of our other human qualities ( 品质）are needed for success, not just the high grade．

　　Ken Robinson once said, “ the society depends on different kinds of talents．” However, gaokao pays too attention to a person's grades but little to his other qualities．And it is these qualities that makes life colorful and fun．

　　As high school students, we can not change the present situation of eduction, but we are always free to think outside of the box．Although good school grade is still useful, I hope one day we will see our education also welcomes the amazing possibilities in different people．

(1)

The US College pay special attention to ________．
[　　]
A．	students'family background．
B．	the different achievement
C．	students'ideas about way of life．
D．	the school a student is from．

(2)

When at high school, the writer ________．
[　　]
A．	had a lot of activities．
B．	did not work hard at her lessons．
C．	did well in gaokao
D．	had no time to play the guitar．

(3)

[　　]
A．	go to college in America．
B．	give up the US college interview．
C．	become a good football player in the US．
D．	change the present situation of eduction．

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

　　My topic is fashion, and to make my talk more lively, I have brought along five objects．Fashion is important to all of us．Now we are all wearing school uniforms．When we go home, what do we do? We change into other clothes．If we are going out, we like to wear fashionable clothes．So my first object is this blouse．It looks beautiful, doesn't it? It is my most expensive piece of clothing, and I love it．It costs over $ 600．You may say that it is too expensive, but luckily I can pay for it．The more you spend, the better the quality is．So you see, fashion is quite important to me, I admit it．

　　However, I'm not as fond of fashion as my elder brother．Last summer, my parents took us both to London．They wanted to show us some fashion sights．But my brother Gary did not enjoy the old buildings．He just wanted to spend all his time in the big shopping malls, searching for the coolest pair of trousers! For him, fashion was more important than culture．These are the trousers he bought．Were they worth the cost of a trip to London to buy these? I don't think so．I think it was a waste, of time and money．

　　We must, however, remember that fashion is a very big business．Changes in fashion can create or lose jobs．As an example, I have brought this blonde wig (假发) to show you．Do you like it'? It belongs to one of my mother's friends．She told me that in the 1960s, it was fashionable for Western women to wear wigs．But a few years later fashions changed and women wore wigs much less often．Then the wig factories closed down and hundreds of workers lost their jobs．

(1)

What is the writer doing at the moment?
[　　]
A．	He is selling some fashionable clothes．
B．	He is buying the coolest school uniforms．
C．	He is making a speech to the fellow students．
D．	He is travelling to London with his parents．

(2)

According to the passage, the author showed all these objects EXCEPT ________．
[　　]
A．	the blonde wig
B．	the expensive blouse
C．	the cool trousers
D．	the school uniform

(3)

B．	People in the east once liked wearing blonde wigs．
C．	Fashion is actually a business．
