I mean, they have boots. Its not like theyre freezing in a pair of sneakers all winter. Its just that I keep making the same mistakes every single year. The first mistake is that I cheap out. I cant help it! Boots are expensive! Ive laughed at $ 60 pairs of kids boots and been certain I could find a better deal. Most of the time, Ive ended up buying boots in the clothing section of the grocery store. Sometimes theyre $20 and sometimes theyre $40, but they are never very good.Last winter, I thought I was being smart by buying a more expensive pair for our son - I think they were $45 - with the plan to pass them down to his sister. I even smartly chose plain black instead of blue, which would never match her pink and purple snowsuits. But, of course, the boots are still junk. The second mistake I keep making is buying boots a size or two larger than my kids feet. “Boots can be a little loose!” Ill declare, mostly to myself. Kids in general might grow quickly, but not mine. I cant seem to accept or remember the fact that my kids grow slowly. Im especially bad for this when it es to rain boots. This means my kids are practically swimming in their big, too-large rain boots because their mother is ridiculous. The poor kids probably think its normal to have their boots go flying if they run too quickly.Im learning from my mistakes. Its taken me nearly seven years of parenthood to figure out this whole boot business.24. Why does the author think herself to be a failure?A. She didnt buy sneakers for her kids B. She couldnt make enough money.C. She failed to buy proper boots for kids D. She knew nothing about boots.25. What can be learned from the first paragraph?A. The author was a saving housewife B. The grocery store cheats the customers.C. Kids boots are not worth 60 dollars D. The author paid little attention to kids.26. How did her kids like their rain boots?A. They plained to their mother about them. B. They took the boots their mother bought for granted.C. They enjoyed swimming with such boots.D. They thought the boots were usually ridiculous.27. What can we infer from the passage?A. Parents should be always generous to their kids.B. It is a waste of money to buy expensive boots.C. Boots in the markets often make parents puzzled.D. It is not easy to be a good and adequate parent. C.One cow can release up to 500 liters of methane (甲烷) each day. Cows produce more harmful gas than any other livestock (家畜).For centuries, farmers living near the ocean have been feeding their cows seaweed. Little did they realize that their animals seaweed diet might be good for the planet.As a cow digests food, its stomach produces methane. The greenhouse gas is a main cause of climate change. Livestock, like cows and sheep, release nearly 15% of the greenhouse gas caused by human activity. Animals release more toxic gas than the worlds cars and airplanes bined. Worse, methane is 30 times more damaging to the environment than the global-warming gas carbon dioxide.Scientists estimate it would take 450,000 acres of red seaweed - about twice the size of New York City - to feed the 92 million cows in the US. Scientists say adding seaweed to a cows diet can reduce the amount of harmful gas it releases. Rob Kinley, of James Cook University, in Australia, is one of the scientists researching the seaweed diet. He tested more than 40 kinds of ocean plants before finding a red algae he calls “Super seaweed”.Kinley says red seaweed only needs to make up 2% of a cows diet for it to work. The problem is that there is not enough red algae to feed the worlds 1.5 billion cows. “Whoever can grow it would be a real pioneer,” Kinley says.The farming industry is eager to get started. But Kinley says more testing is needed to determine the full range of benefits seaweed might offer.28. Which of the following gas does the most harm to the environment?A. Gas near the ocean. B. Gas produce by livestock.C. Gas the worlds cars give out D. Gas the worlds airplanes give out29. How did Kinley find the seaweed diet?A. He went to a few oceans. B. He found the red seaweed by accidentC. He tested more than 40 kinds of ocean plants.D. Cows need to eat enough red seaweed to stop producing methane.30. Whats Kinleys opinion about red seaweed to a cows diet?A. The red seaweed grows easily.B. There has been enough red seaweed for cows to eat.C. Red seaweed only making up one fiftieth of a cows diet works.D. Cows need to eat enough red seaweed to stop producing methane.31. What does the text tell us?A. Methane affects the quality of milk and beef.B. There are difficulties in planting enough red seaweed.C. Whoever can get the red seaweed would be a real pioneer.D. Many people know animals seaweed diet is good for the planet. D. You may have already heard about the trimester system in Western universities. For example, in the UK, an academic year is usually divided into three semesters, each made up of 10 weeks - the autumn semester (October to December), the spring semester (January to March) and the summer semester (April to June). This system is believed to bring more flexibility when scheduling classes, internships(实习期) and personal projects.Now China is introducing the system to its own students. In fact, nearly half of the countrys “Project 985” universities have already added the third semester into their academic timetables. But our trimester system is a little bit different from that in the West.Take China University of Political Science and Law (CUPL), as an example, which has started to implement the new schedule from this month. Its academic year will now be divided into the autumn semester (September to January), the spring semester (February to July) and the summer semester (July).Lu Chunlong, director of the deans office at CUPL, told the Beijing News that during summer terms students are encouraged to join courses in the form of social practice and internships. Its hoped that this new method will expose students to a broader and more diverse academic environment and help them to get their career plans on track.However, some students worry that summer term courses are too condensed(浓缩的), pointing out that they would have to attend classes every day without having time to digest what theyve learned.Xiong Bingqi, vice-president of the 21st Century Education Research Institute, said in an interview with the Beijing News, “ Whats important is not how the academic year is divided, but how the studying contents are distributed among each term.”32. How many terms is an academic year divided in western universities? A. One B. Two C. Three D. Four33. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “implement” in Para. 3?A. carry out B. bring about C. bring out D. carry on34. Whats Xiong Bingqis attitude towards the trimester system?A. Positive B. Negative C. Subjective D. Objective35. Whats the best title for the passage?A. Opinions about The trimester System.B. “Project 985” Universities in China.C. CUPL - A Pioneer of the Trimester System.D. The Trimester System -A New Trend in China. 第2节 阅读理解七选五 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。Youve probably already been filling out job applications or talking to family or friends about getting a part-time job.
