17、shion deserts. Colorful sports shoes, school bags, T-shirts and even drink containers are breathing life into campuses. The uniform makes us look like a bunch of clones, especially when we are doing morning exercises on the playground, said Qing Pei, a Senior 2 from Shanghai Qibao High School. But t
18、he boys wear different sports shoes and girls have different decorations in their hair. These are the areas where you can express yourself, said Qing. Although it might be strange for boys to talk about fashion, they do care about what they wear in school, especially shoes, according to Qing. Nike a
19、nd Adidas basketball shoes, although they are still the must-have items for many of my friends, are becoming out-of-date, Qing added. He explained that Since Liu Xiang ran so fast in Athens, running shoes are becoming popular in this autumn. Still in fashion are the various baseball caps and America
20、n-style T-shirts with random (随意的) English words printed on them, said Qing. The accuracy of the written message is not important. Often, the words are not spelt correctly. Sometimes they do not even make sense, Qing said with a smile.Besides sports shoes and T-shirts, styles and colors of school ba
21、gs are another opportunity for students to express their taste in fashion. Some bags are made more eye-catching by decorating them with small hanging dolls.

CCan you imagine what 680,000 tons of food look like? Thats the amount of food wasted in Britain each year, and at the top of the list of wasted food is br
27、ead. In the British diet, bread appears in every meal. It is eaten for breakfast, used for sandwiches for lunch and put in soups at dinner. Almost everyone in Britain buys bread. Bread is so important to the British that they use the word “bread” to mean “money” and the word “loaf”(一条面包) to mean “he
28、ad”. So lets use our “loaves” to understand why so much “bread” is wasted! Even though bread is still sold in such a popular way and in such a large amount, that doesnt mean its made full use of. It seems people are simply buying much more than they need, so they throw away the bread that they dont
29、need. Baker Chris Young explains that the British arent valuing their bread because bread is no longer respected. “None of the bread that is thrown away is real breadhomemade or carefullymade bread, but is bought from the bread shop.” Another baker Mark Boyle agrees. “If you make something by yourse
30、lf, you dont want to waste it because you know how much energy youve put into it. But although home baking is a nice idea, for many its out of their ability because they have to work such long hours every day that they dont have time to make bread by themselves at home. So they simply buy bread and
31、just bring it home to eat.” Perhaps the British should try to bake bread by themselves, which can probably make their dustbins lighter.28. What can we infer from the passage?A. Bread plays an important part in British diet.B. Different British people like different foods.C. Bread will become less po
32、pular in Britain.D. Bread is the favorite food for the British.29. If a British boss says to his workers “Please bring your loaves here，” he _.A. wants his workers to eat healthily B. advises his workers to buy more breadC. asks his workers to work more cleverly D. promises to give his workers more
33、money30. Mark Boyle believes that the British throw away much bread mainly because _.A. they are tired of eating breadB. they are too rich to value breadC. they dont like the taste of breadD. they dont put any energy into making bread31. Many British people fail to make bread by themselves at home b
34、ecause _.A. they are very busy B. they dont earn much moneyC. they become lazier than before D. they dont know how to bake bread DTablets(平板电脑) are useful devices, but their big screens always make them a burden to carry around without a bag. Wouldnt it be great if there were a phone with the powers
35、 of a tablet that could be folded up and fit neatly into the hand? Now something like a tablet-shaped but foldable(可折叠的) phone is about to become available .In February，Samsung and Huawei both introduced foldable phones，the Galaxy Fold and Huawei Mate X separately, to the public for the first time.
36、Mobile phone use has entered the “foldable future”, The Verge noted.The technology could change our lives in significant ways. These devices，due to their bendable screens，give us the larger screens we want but still fit easily into the pocket. The technology could change other devices too. For examp
37、le, we could make TVs that stick to walls like posters, or fold up easily to hide away in drawers, which could help increase available space to the maximum. In a keynote address，Justin Denison，Samsungs senior vice president, called the foldable screen “the basis for the smartphone of tomorrow”.“Its
38、a blank canvas(画布) for us to do something beautiful together,” he said.So is there nothing to stand in the way of the foldable future？According to tech news website Android Authority, the necessary displays were difficult to produce. In 2012, nine out of ten foldable screens produced were defective
39、or unusable. Today, that 10 percent rate has been improved to almost 90 percent .However, at present these foldable devices are expensive .For example, the price of Huawei Mate X is 17,500 RMB. Thats a price that few people will be able to afford.But if the foldable device isnt going to change the w
40、orld overnight, there is no doubt that it is coming. Patrick Moorhead, an industry expert told The Verge, “Few are debating if foldable mobile displays are the future of smartphones; the only question is when and by whom.”32What do we know about foldable devices?AThey are too big to fit into the poc
41、ket.BThey could bring us much convenience.CThey have become available in January.DThey are a burden to carry around without a bag.33What can we learn from Denisons words?AThe foldable screen has great potential.BThe technology could change other devices too.CThere must be many problems with the tech
42、nology.DThe production of foldable phones will soon decrease.34What does the underlined word in Paragraph 3 mean?AComplete. BProper. CImperfect.
