However, many will feel pressured into going, while asking themselves, “Is prom worth the hype(天花乱坠的宣传)？There are undoubtedly many reasons high schoolers and teenagers will give as to why everyone should attend prom. Many will say that for seniors, prom is the last big event of a students high school career. It will feel strange to miss it. Others would also say that it is one of the few events of the year where spending a lot of money is worth it.“I think people spend too much money on prom because the tickets, tuxedos(无尾礼服) and dresses and all are so expensive， senior Trevor Lambert said. “But, in the end, I believe the money is worth it.Prom isnt the only big event that everyone in high school has to look forward to though. Keep in mind that there are many other moments in high school to take note of and to look back on.“I dont think that prom is the best way to have fun and spend time with friends since it is organized by someone else， junior Reagan Davis said. “That person in charge may not know how you like to enjoy yourself.Also, prom preparations usually cost a large amount of money. However, as stated before, prom is not the only choice where money can be spent to enjoy something special. Personally, I have thrown two parties to celebrate an endoftheyear occasion, costing about $50 each, which is much cheaper than $919 (the average amount a person spends on prom)So, in conclusion, there are many reasons to go to prom, but in the end, it is simply not worth all the hype it receives. However, that is not to say that prom should be avoided by any means. Prom is still a great way to spend time with friends and have fun. But there are alternatives(可供选择的事物) to have as much fun at prom night; it simply takes a little research.【解题导语】本文是一篇议论文。作者分析了高中生喜欢和不喜欢正式舞会的原因，并说明自己的观点：正式舞会很重要，但不应被过度宣传。高中生如果愿意，可以参加正式舞会，但也可以考虑其他一些经济且充满乐趣的活动。24Whats Trevor Lamberts opinion of prom?AIt is beneficial to attend prom.BProm is a big waste of money.CTickets are not worth the money.DIt feels a bit strange to miss prom.A解析：推理判断题。根据第三段可知，尽管Trevor Lambert认为正式舞会需要花费很多钱，但是他认为这些钱值得花。25Why does Reagan Davis think little of prom?AIt involves too many students.BIt may be badly organized.CIt lacks creativity and fun.DIt takes a lot of time.B解析：细节理解题。根据第五段中的since it is organized by someone else和That person in charge.enjoy yourself.可知，Reagan Davis觉得由于正式舞会是由别人组织的，而那个人并不知道如何取悦你们，所以它并不是你和朋友欢聚的最好选择。26Why does the author mention his own experiences?ATo offer advice on prom preparation.BTo let readers consider other options.CTo show money can buy good memories.DTo call on readers to avoid attending prom. B解析：推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的prom preparations usually cost a large amount of money .prom is not the only choice where money can be spent to enjoy something special及之后的费用比照可知，作者认为正式舞会并不是你回忆高中生活的唯一方式，你还可以考虑其他形式的活动。27Whats the authors attitude towards prom?AHe is against it.BHe thinks highly of it.CHe is uninterested in it.DHe has mixed feelings about it.D解析：观点态度题。作者的观点主要表达在最后一段的总结：正式舞会对高中生来讲很重要，但同时高中生也可以考虑其他的活动。因此，他对正式舞会持中立态度。注意，作者反对的是大肆宣传正式舞会。CHorses can tell the difference between dominant(强硬的) body postures and submissive(顺从的) ones in humans. The former means the person stands straight, with arms and legs apart. The latter means the persons arms and legs are close to the body and the knees are relaxed. Horses can do that even when the humans are not familiar to them, according to a new study.Researchers worked with 30 homeraised horses to see whether they were more likely to go to a person showing a dominant body posture, or a submissive posture. Research was done on horses at three centres in Suffolk and East Sussex. All the handlers were women, dressed in similar clothing and of similar size. A dark neck warmer covered their faces to eye level. The horses, which had been fed by two people, were allowed to choose whether to go to either the person showing the dominant or the submissive body posture.They found that even though the horses had been given food before by each person, they were much more likely to get to the person showing a submissive rather than a dominant posture in followup experiments.Colead author of the study, Amy Smith, said, “Horses are often thought to be good at reading human body language based on stories such as the Clever Hans Effect. However, little research has tested this. Now we have scientific evidence for that.Amy Smith said, “Animals, including humans, tend to use larger postures to show dominance, and smaller postures to show submissiveness. Horses may therefore have a natural understanding of larger vs.smaller postures.The findings increase our understanding of how different kinds of animals can communicate using body posture, and are helpful for informing horse handlers and trainers about the ways horses read human body language.【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文。研究发现，家养的马可以读懂人类的一些肢体语言。28What did the researchers do for the study?AThey showed several kinds of body postures.BThey asked two men to feed the horses.CThey chose two welltrained horses.DThey had handlers dress alike.D解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的All the handlers were women, dressed in similar clothing and of similar size可知，在试验过程中，驯马师被要求穿相似的衣服。29How was the research done?ABy making comparisons.BBy collecting information.CBy giving horses physical checks.DBy talking to handlers
