　　Most artists have a favorite material they like to work with.For 28­year­old Kristen Alice, it happens to be garbage.The eco­friendly designer uses her incredible talent to transform garbage like empty drink bottles and candy wrappers into charming dresses that sell for thousands of dollars.

　　Kristen says the idea came to her after she saw how much waste she and her three college roommates generated on a daily basis.The Fine Arts student began to dream about transforming the deserted bags and packages into beautiful garments.

　　Her first dress made from plastic bags and rolled magazines was strange, fun and even charming.However, she only made it to test her creativity.

　　The young designer did not consider starting a commercial venture(企业)until she spent a week working at Couture Fashion Week in New York City.There she observed the excitement generated by new and vintage(复古的)looks and decided to see if her unusual idea would result in as much enthusiasm.She began by creating a line of 12 garbage­inspired dresses.They were a huge success.

　　Today her company that has offices in Palm Beach, Florida and New York City, produces a wide variety of dresses ranging from cocktail dresses to ball gowns (礼服)．Kristen, of course, doesn't search garbage cans for her material anymore.Instead, she seeks it from companies that have produced more than they need and are planning to throw away the extras.

　　However, if you think the garbage­inspired dresses come cheap, think again.The price for ready­made creations retails(零售)from $500 to $1,500.Though that may appear expensive, the designer says she has no shortage of customers.In fact she now even has garbage­inspired clothing for men that includes jackets, ties, trousers and even board shorts! While most of the clothes are strong enough to resist multiple wears, whether they can be cleaned is a little unclear.

　　(2017四川绵阳高三第二次诊断性考试)A father in Wuhan,nicknamed “Eagle Dad” for his controversial parenting style,has dismissed critics’claims that he pushes his 4-year-old son too hard.

　　Police officer Wang Shaoyan came under the spotlight this month after his child took part in an 18-kilometer race in the Hubei provincial capital.

　　Some parents attacked his methods of extreme physical training,while others reacted strongly to his admission that he regularly exposes the youngster to cold showers.“I just want my son to reach his full potential,” Wang said,adding that 4-year-old son not only runs 3 km every day he also takes cold showers from time to time to strengthen his body’s resistance and will power.

　　“He has never taken any sick leave from kindergarten,” he said proudly.However,some parents find his methods too extreme.

　　“I’m not sure a 4-year-old is prepared for such intense training,” said Zhang Ruxia a woman who gave birth to two boys in October in Tianjin.“You can have good intentions to train your child at an early age but you also have to consider whether he can take it.” Wang responded by saying children are too young to make decisions,and it is up to parents to lead them on the right path.

　　“I read many materials before and the whole process is step-by-step without pushing or imposing on my son,” Wang said.The father said he was not acting rashly but following a scientific way of education.He said the doubts about his methods reflect the declining standards of modern education.

　　“Many people in Japan give their children cold showers too,and no one is fussing about it,”he said.The traditional way of education applied by most of his peers might not necessarily help bring the best out of a child he said.

　　Wang said in addition to the physical training,he has also laid out a detailed and particular program to strengthen the intelligence of the child.“I have hired some university students to expand his knowledge in natural science,while playing the video for English-language teaching as well,” he said.

　　3.What does the phrase “fussing about” probably mean in the 7th paragraph?()

　　语篇解读:“鹰爸”教育孩子的方法挑战了中国传统的教育方式,在社会上引起广泛争议,面对人们的质疑,听听鹰爸是怎么说的吧!

　　2.D　推理判断题。由第五段引用的张如霞所说的话可知D项正确。由第三段的描述和第五段的最后一句话可知A、B、C三项均为鹰爸的观点。

　　3.D　词义猜测题。上文提到鹰爸让儿子洗冷水浴引起了很多人的非议,而他认为这种情况在日本司空见惯,没有人会对此事大加谈论,故选D项。

　　4.C　推理判断题。由倒数第三段的最后一句话He said the doubts about his methods reflect the declining standards of modern education可知,鹰爸认为人们质疑他的教育方法反映了现在教育水平的下降,即现在教育没有足够的挑战,故选C项。

　　2016高考英语阅读理解（社会生活、说理议论）【2016·全国新课标III】C

　　If you are a fruit grower—or would like to become one—take advantage of Apple Day to see what’s around.

　　It’s called Apple Day but in practice it’s more like Apple Month. The day itself is on October 21, but sinceit has

　　caught on, events now spread out over most of October around Britain.

　　Visiting an apple event is a good chance to see, and often taste, a wide variety of apples. To people who are used to the limited choice of apples such as Golden Delicious and Royal Gala in supermarkets, it can be quite an eye opener to see the range of classical apples still in existence, such as Decio which was grown by the Romans. Although it doesn’t taste of anything special, it’s still worth a try, as is the knobbly(多疙瘩的) Cat’s Head which is more of a curiosity than anything else.

　　There are also varieties developed to suit specific local conditions. One of the very best varieties for eating quality is Orleans Reinette, but you’ll need a warm, sheltered place with perfect soil to grow it, so it’s a pipe dream for most apple lovers who fall for it.

　　At the events, you can meet expert growers and discuss which ones will best suit your conditions, and because these are family affairs, children are well catered for with apple-themed fun and games.

　　Apple Days are being held at all sorts of places with an interest in fruit, including stately gardens and commercial orchards(果园).If you want to have a real orchard experience, try visiting the National Fruit Collection at Brogdale, near Faversham in Kent.

　　8.What can people do at the apple events?

　　A. Attend experts’ lectures.

　　B. Visit fruit-loving families.

　　C. Plant fruit trees in an orchard.

　　D. Taste many kinds of apples.

　　9.What can we learn about Decio?

　　A. It is a new variety.

　　B. It has a strange look.

　　C. It is rarely seen now.

　　D. It has a special taste.

　　10.What does the underlined phrase “a pipe dream” in Paragraph 3mean?

　　A. A practical idea.

　　B. A vain hope.

　　C.A brilliant plan.

　　D. A selfish desire.

　　11.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?

　　A. To show how to grow apples.

　　B .To introduce an apple festival.

　　C. To help people select apples.

　　D. To promote apple research.

　　【答案】

　　8.D

　　9.C

　　10.B

　　11.B

　　11.B写作意图题。根据第一段“if you are a fruit grower—or would like to become one—take advantage of Apple Day to see what’s around. ”和最后一段“If you want to have a real orchard experience, try visiting the National Fruit Collection at Brogdale, near Faversham in Kent.”可知，作者向读者介绍了一个节日—Apple Day，并推荐人们参加这个节日，故选B。
