　　UGG boots have been a winterweather fashion for several years now, combining function, comfort, warmth and even some style. What many UGGenthusiasts don't know is that their boots are a breeding ground for bacteria and cause foot problems.

　　Doctors believe the boots, which are particularly popular among young teenage girls, are leading to a rise in the number of people suffering pains in their feet and knees.

　　Dr. Ian Drysdale, head of the British College of Osteopathic Medicine, believes because the foot does not get the proper support on the inside, it will lead to more ankle, knee, hip and back problems. ?These boots are not designed for outside wear. Just because something becomes a trend or fashionable doesn't mean it's good or right，” he said. “The particular problem with this type of footwear is that it is unsupported. It's a slipper. You wouldn't normally expect to be doing outdoor activities from something that's indoor. If you decide to wear your pajamas outside all the time, someone will come up and say it's not a good idea.” Dr. Drysdale explained that the feet issues become a particular problem among young teenage girls, whose bones are “plastic” and developing when they are growing. ?If that structure is developing in an inappropriate way，” he said，“then the ultimate structure will be deformed.”

　　Mike O'Neill, a consultant surgeon, said，“As the foot slides around, you get wear and tear

　　(磨损) on the joints on the inside of the foot. The ankle is in the wrong position, the thigh bone also changes position, and you get an abnormal movement in the pelvis, which leads to back problems.?

　　UGG Australia, who makes the designer version of the boots, told The Daily Wirror that their boots are “comfort” rather than “performance” footwear and consumers should be aware of ?knockoffs (仿制品)” which lack reinforced heels in their boots.

　　文章大意：本文是一篇议论文。文章介绍了雪地靴因它的时尚、舒适、保暖等特性而备受年轻女孩的青睐。但研究人员发现，在它时尚的外观背后，隐藏着一些不为人知的健康隐患。

　　1．Teenage girls prefer to wear UGG boots because of the following EXCEPT ________.

　　A．design

　　B．comfort

　　C．quality

　　A．there is a possibility that bacteria will multiply in UGG boots

　　B．wearing UGG boots will lead to more ankle and toe problems

　　C．it's not a good idea to wear boots like UGG outside all the time

　　D．teenage girls' bones are plastic enough to wear UGG boots

　　答案：C　细节理解题。根据文章第三段中“‘These boots are not designed for outside wear. Just because something becomes a trend or fashionable doesn't mean it's good or right，’ he said. ‘The particular problem with this type of footwear is that it is unsupported.’”可知，C项正确。

　　3．The underlined word “deformed” is closest in meaning to ________.

　　A．shaped

　　(2016·河南省七校联合考试) When it came to role models, Diana Ortiz said her mother, Marcia Dominguez, was the “hero”. Ms. Dominguez came to the United States from Cuba in 1979. She went to college and got a job as a social worker —

　　all the while raising three children in America mostly on her own.

　　“It was always school first，” Diana said, “My mom had us in a straight line. If we got out of line, she corrected us. She was a perfect woman. She was beautiful, she had the education and she had everything — but the illness took over. When I was 11, it frightened me to see how quickly my mother's health was ruined by cancer. A week before I turned 14, my mother died at age 50. I had tried to prepare myself, but on the first morning I woke up without my mother, the sense of loss was painful.”

　　Diana had not seen her father for five years, who refused to provide for her. Diana then entered the city's foster care system. She has spent about four years in foster homes.

　　Despite Diana's hard teenage years, the values her mother had planted in her mind inspired her to go after higher education. Since August 2010, she has been a fulltime student majoring in law. A public organization offers her tuition but she has part­time jobs to help people like her and earn more life experience. Her goal is a job in the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

　　For now, Diana works 20 hours a week as a cashier at Marshalls, earning D|S7.25 an hour. In November, she moved into her own public housing studio apartment on the Lower East Side. She pays D|S236 a month in rent. Although she is out of foster care, Diana has been speaking at workshops for foster youths. She emphasizes that nothing should get in the way of their success, not the trials of their lives or what they may have lost.

　　“I tell the young who have the similar experience like me, ‘Why are you going to let what happened to you affect you in the long run？’” Diana said, “ ‘Why are you going to sit there and feel sorry for yourself? You're wasting precious time.’ It is a message my mother would approve of. My mom taught me that everything is not given to you. You have to go out and get it.”

　　1.Which of the following words can be used to describe Ms. Dominguez?

　　A.Learned, independent and strict.

　　B.Positive, simple and graceful.

　　C.Hardworking, dependent and tough.

　　D.Kind, determined and lonely.

　　2.How did Diana grow up after her mother passed away?

　　A.She was provided for by a law institute.

　　B.She depended on foster care system.

　　C.She relied upon the people like her.

　　D.She supported herself by doing part­time work.

　　3.What made Diana go on with her education despite there are so many difficulties?

　　A.The sense of loss from her mother's death.

　　B.The eagerness to achieve success.

　　C.The deep influence of her mother's values.

　　D.The wish to win prizes to please her mother.

　　4.With provided tuition, Diana still works after school because she knows ________.

　　A.success comes with her own struggle and efforts

　　B.rich experience helps her find better jobs

　　C.her tuition will be increased sharply

　　D.nobody is perfect in the world

　　Below are the best four applications to help you organize your closet(橱柜)—and trust us, there really is something for everyone.

　　Closet

　　If you're looking to create your own digital closet, then this app is for you. Closet helps you categorize your outfits and keeps you up­to­date on what you've already worn.

　　PROS: Very simple and user­friendly. Great for helping you look at your own closet without feeling overwhelmed.

　　CONS: No social interactions. This app is strictly for having a mobile version of your closet.

　　Pose

　　The app makes things insanely easy for the indecisive shopper. So if you're debating whether or not to buy something, you can get a second opinion. The app also gathers photos of items that you wish to buy and items you already own, so they are all in one spot.

　　PROS: When you sign up, you fill out a short survey that helps identify your personal style and subsequently finds people with similar taste that you can follow for inspiration.

　　CONS: The phone application is more visually appealing than the actual website.

　　Stylitics

　　It allows you to categorize your clothes by color, brand, pattern and more. And if you're wondering whether you have already worn an outfit, simply check your style calendar.

　　PROS: The app comes with a “Today in Fashion History” tip so you can brush up on your style knowledge.

　　CONS: You can't view your style profile using the app yet unless you log on to the site.

　　Walk in My Closet

　　If you're browsing the Internet, looking for something to buy, you can instantly add the item to your virtual closet so that your wish list items are all in one place. Besides sharing your closet with other users, you can also sell items you no longer want.

　　PROS: The “Moodboard” is a great way to gather inspiring looks that you like from other users and fashion experts.

　　(2016·山东省日照市校际联合检测)I used to feel I was the sun in my family. But while my cousin was born, everyone pays more attention to her. So I disliked her and couldn't get along well with her. As time went on, I realized what ridiculous I had been at that time. I tried to find a proper time to apologize. When my cousin's family came to my home a few day ago, I took my cousin to play outside. In the way to the playground, I had bought many snacks for her. Then we began chat. When we talked about their childhood, suddenly, I said “sorry” gently. She was silently, so I thought that she hadn't
