i wasnt trying to be prettier; i wanted to have control of my life.” size should not divide us, whether were fat, thin, or anywhere in between. im designing clothes for plus woman, but one day i might be open to designing straight sizes. people judge me for that, too. but i just want to create clothes that make people feel good. i want every woman to love herself and go after her dreams like i did. 24. what was the authors hope after she won project runway?

a. to encourage americans to eat more fruit. b. to show the public how to eat pomegranates. c. to teach american farmers to grow wonderful. d. to make pomegranates more popular in the us. 29. what did chater do when visiting his grandfather? a. he grew pomegranates. b. he tasted pomegranates. c. he helped him study pomegranates. d. he brought him pomegranate seeds. 30. what can we say about chaters grandfather? a. he was a specialist in fruit breeding. b. he liked to make friends with scientists. c. he was too strict with his grandchildren. d. he tried to save old types of pomegranates. 31. what is a disadvantage of wonderful? a. it remains unknown to many americans. b. it is difficult for farmers to grow the type. c. it is too sweet for most american consumers. d. it is ready later than other types of pomegranates. da mini ice age that lasted for 125 years began in the middle of the 6th century, helping to get the world into a period of time that was messy. one of the key events behind it was the big eruption (噴發(fā)) of a volcano (火山) somewhere in the southern part of the earth. now we may know when and where it happened. big eruptions throw so much debris (碎片) into the air that sunlight is blocked in some areas. this can cool the earth and encourage more ice to form at the two ends of the earth, reflecting (反 射) more sunlight, and further cooling the earth. it has long been thought that the eruptions of volcanoes between ad 536 and 547 first started what is known as the late antique little ice age. robert dull at california lutheran university and his workmates have now shown that the second of two big eruptions during this time appears to have happened at the ilopango volcano in el salvador, a country in central america. the team found the remains of three trees that“witnessed”this event. two of these were killed by the volcanic activity. studies on different tree rings inside the trees showed their age. the trees died between ad 503 and 545. research on debris in nearby soil (土 壤) also helped to show that a big eruption happened around this time, most likely in late ad 539 or 540. an earlier big eruption is thought to have happened in ad 536, but researchers havent yet managed to make sure which volcano was connected. “i think the late antique little ice age was started by these eruptions here and made longer by others,”says michael sigl at the university of bern in switzerland. the final proof that would connect ilopango to the ad 540 eruption would be to find debris from it in ice from the southern end of the earth from that time, he says. 32. what happened when lots of debris was in the air? a. the earth started losing ice. b. the temperature on the earth dropped. c. the two ends of the earth had more volcanoes. d. the sunlight reaching the earth became harmful. 33. what did robert dull learn about the second eruption between ad 536 and 547? a. it was bigger than the first one. b. it broke out in central america. c. it made the whole earth very hot. d. it was 11 years after the first one. 34. why did researchers study tree rings? a. to find out how many trees died. b. to understand why the trees died. c. to know at what age the trees died. d. to know how big the eruption was. 35. what did michael sigl think of the mini ice age? a. it started exactly from ad 540. b. it was started by one single eruption. c. it turned ilopango into a place fully covered by ice. d. it lasted 125 years because of more than two volcanic eruptions. 第二節(jié)（共5小題；每小題2分，滿(mǎn)分10分）根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。 going to the gym after a long day at work can be a tiring task. however, once you get into the habit of making exercise a priority ( 優(yōu) 先 事 項(xiàng)), it gets easier! david stine, author of the whole life, explains how you can make fitness a lifestyle choice. 36 . his physical activities have become a must on his calendar. he shared some of his thoughts with me. no matter what fitness plan you use, these points are practical and will do good to you. 37 based on your age, physical condition and body type, choose workouts that are realistic as far as what you can and should do. what was appropriate (適當(dāng)?shù)?
