But not all schools are fashion 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,n said Qing Pei, a Senior 2 from Shanghai Qibao High School. HBut the boys wear different sports shoes and girls have different decorations in their hair.

That's the amount of food wasted inBritain each year, and at the top of the list of wasted food is bread. 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 一条面包）to mean “head”. So let's 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 doesn*t 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 don't need.Baker Chris Young explains that the British aren*t valuing their bread because bread is no longer respected. "None of the bread that is thrown away is 'real' bread-homemade or carefully-made bread, but is bought from the bread shop.”Another baker Mark Boyle agrees. "If you make something by yourself, you donft want to waste it because you know how much energy you've put into it. But although home baking is a nice idea, for many it's out of their ability because they have to work such long hours every day that they don't have time to make bread by themselves at home. So they simply buy bread and just bring it home to eat.”Perhaps the British should try to bake bread by themselves, which can probably make their dustbins lighter.26. 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 popular in Britain.D. Bread is the favorite food for the British.27. If a British boss says to his workers "Please bring your loaves here, " he.A. wants his workers to eat healthilyB. advises his workers to buy more breadC. asks his workers to work more cleverlyD. promises to give his workers more moneyMark 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 don*t like the taste of breadD. they don't put any energy into making breadMany British people fail to make bread by themselves at home because.A. they are very busyB. they don't earn much moneyC. they become lazier than beforeD. they don't know how to bake breadDTablets（平板电脑）are useful devices, but their big screens always make them a burden to carry around without a bag. Wouldn't it be great if there were a phone with the powers 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. Mobile phone use has entered the "foldable future99, 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 example, 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, Samsung's senior vice president, called the foldable screen “the basis fbr the smartphone of tomorrow”,“It's a blank canvas（画布）for us to do something beautiful together J 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 or unusable. Today, that 1（） 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. That's a price that few people will be able to afford.But if the foldable device isn't going to change the world 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.” 32. What do we know about foldable devices?A. They are too big to fit into the pocket.B. They could bring us much convenience.C. They have become available in January.D. They are a burden to carry around without a bag.33. What can we learn from Denison's words?A. The foldable screen has great potential.B. The technology could change other devices too.C. There must be many problems with the technology.D. The production of foldable phones will soon decrease.34. What does the underlined word in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Complete.B. Proper. C. Imperfect. D. Normal.35. . What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Types of Foldable PhonesB. The Coming of Foldable DevicesC. Popular Devices on the Market D. Difficulties in Producing Foldable Phones 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。What is the difference between happy people and unhappy people? 36 Read the following list of things that HAPPY people do differently from UNHAPPY people and you will know.Well, I can tell you surely that those people who are really happy, fear less and love a lot more.
