Of course, any shirt can be worn for that long, if smell is not a problem. However, the Wool & Prince shirt is different because it remains as fresh smelling as it wasthe first day it was put on. And it never needs ironing, because it never wrinkles.While that may sound magical and even impossible, it is true. The secret to their success lies in the raw material used to make the shirtwool instead of cotton.Not only are wool fibers about four times stronger than cotton, but thanks to the natural crimp(皱褶), they also do not wrinkle easily. But most importantly, the fiber is better at allowing moisture to escape. Sweat in itself is not smelly. It just gets that way when in contact with the human skin. Therefore, the fact that the fabric allows it to go off gives the shirt the“super power”to stay fresh after so many wears.You can get this magical shirt for $98, which is the current selling price on fundraising site Kickstarter. The company hopes to use the funds collected to begin producing the shirts. If things go well, Wool & Prince is planning to introduce other clothing, including similar dresses for women.Well, youve got your favorite pair of jeans already. You might as well add your new favorite shirts youll never have to wash or hang up either. They are surely a perfect match!【文章大意】一件衬衫可以连续穿100天，不用洗也不用熨烫，这是多少忙碌男士的梦想啊！现在，一款优质、持久耐穿的“懒惰”衬衫，让这个梦想变成了现实。1What is the character of the special shirt made by Mac Brown?AIt can be worn for 100 straight days without washing.BIt has no smelly problems like other shirts.CIt remains as fresh smell as the first day it was put on.DIt doesnt need washing and never wrinkles.C解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的句子However，the Wool & Prince shirt is different because it remains as fresh smelling as it wasthe first day it was put on.

Unfortunately, the youngest son developed slow thinking skills, not having the intelligence of his brothers.With double duty as the mother of the household, she was exhausted, so that the youngest was often the cause of anger and annoyance. Bad words, such as“you little fool”and the like, served as a daily meal for the youngest.The words and curses he got from the mother and ridicule from friends convinced him that he was distressing and embarrassing his family. Every morning he woke up with his own face staring from the mirror reflection, he started to say quietly and sadly，“The fool is going to school.”As adult citizens, there was compulsory military service which should be lived. Thus, the youngest son also signed up and started to follow the various tests: a medical, physical ability test and other tests. On the day of the announcement, he was called into the board of examiners.In his mind, he convinced himself that he was the fool and couldnt pass the tests this time as he entered the room with his head down. It was not expected at all. The tests turned out to have the highest praise from the board of examiners.“Congratulations, young man! Your test results are incredible! You are really a great and talented young man.”Words from the board of examiners became the discovery of a new side of himself that was not known in advance. Voice kept echoing in his mind, such as“I, the great man, am in the shower”“the great man washes his face”“The talented young man again brushes his teeth”and so on. Confidence and improved selfimage came beyond usual.20 years later, the youngest established himself as a successful businessman who was admired and respected, and received many awards.The mindset and belief are the power behind the success that is within us. Whatever we think and believe in our minds continuously, it will eventually materialize in reality. Thats the universally applicable law.【文章大意】来自别人的认可有助于树立信心，在积极的心理暗示的帮助下，相信自己能够成就一番大事，这是成功的重要前提之一。4Why was the youngest often scolded by his mother?AHe was not as clever as his brothers.

They use timers on their kids showers and have planted droughttolerant landscaping. But they feel kind of guilt.“I havent thought about the pool as much as I probably should，” said Annette Siefert.As Californias drought worsens, swimming pools have become a target for those who think the classic backyard greens waste water. Some water districts have banned new pools from being filled and have limited how much water existing pools can use.But some of those agencies are walking back the rules as they make a surprising discovery: Pools arent the water wasters some have made them out to be. Analyses by various water districts, along with scientific studies, conclude that pools and their surrounding landscapes use about the same amount of water as a lawn(草坪) of the same size. Over time, pools might even use less water. With pool covers, experts say water evaporation(蒸发) can be cut by almost half, making pools significantly less wasteful than grass and about as efficient as droughttolerant landscaping.Facing complaints over a recent ban on filling pools, the Santa Margarita Water District conducted its own wateruse analysis. It found that pools require thousands of gallons of water to fill initially, but they use about 8，000 gallons less water than a traditional landscape after that. By the third year, the analysis found, the savings add up, and a pools cumulative water use falls below that of a lawn.Water agencies such as the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power have come to similar conclusions. Armed with new information, Santa Margarita Water District officials will reconsider their ban next week.“We want to respect the peoples rights to use their property. There are many families we know that have saved for pools，”said Jonathan Volzke, spokesman for the 155000customer district. “But at the same time, the reality around us is that were in the third year of a serious drought, and we dont know if were in the third year of a threeyear drought or the third year of a 10year drought.”【文章大意】本文主要讲述了加利福尼亚的干旱问题引起人们对游泳池的思考。12Annette Siefert feels guilty mainly because of Abeing a typical water wasterBthe wateruse of their swimming poolCher control over her kids showers at homeDthe construction of the droughttolerant landscapingB解析：细节理解题。根据第一段最后两句及第二段的内容可知，是因为加利福尼亚的干旱而导致Siefert对自己游泳池的用水感到惭愧，故选B。13According to analyses and scientific studies, a swimming pool Ahad better be filled up in the beginningBbecomes more efficient against droughtCisnt what people think to be wasteful of waterDconsumes more water than a lawn of the same sizeC解析：推理判断题。根据第三段的With pool covers，experts say water evaporation(蒸发) can be cut by almost half，making pools significantly less wasteful than grass and about as efficient as droughttolerant landscaping.可知，游泳池不像人们想象的那样浪费水，故选C。14What does Jonathan Volzke try to express in the last paragraph?AHe expects the serious drought to come to an end.BHe thinks highly of those who have saved for pools.CHe appeals for reasonable use of the swimming pools.DHe tries to maintain the right to use the swimming pools.C解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段的“We want to respect the peoples rights to use their property. There are many families we know that have saved for pools”可知，Jonathan Volzke主张尊重人们的选择。故选C。15What would be the best title for the passage?AWater Crisis in CaliforniaBStrict Ban on Filling PoolsCThe SiefertsReal Environmentalists?DPoolsa Big Factor During Drought?D解析：标题归纳题。本文在开头用The Sieferts在干旱季节使用游泳池引入话题，下文讲述了游泳池和干旱之间的问题，故选D项。 第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。(2016南昌二中高三检测)How to Improve Eyesight NaturallyEyes are important for everybody.
