The women can give away unwanted clothing at a clothes swap event and get something different in return.Recently about 300 women went to a clothes swap at a high school in Springfield, Virginia. It was the largest crowd ever for the area’s popular clothing-swapping group.Daphne Steinberg was having a good day. “For anyone who knows Ann Taylor LOFT, Ann Taylor is a really nice women’s designer and I will totally wear this to work. So I love that, I love that I can equip myself for work, have a good time in doing it, not totally make myself very poor.”Sandy Van Dusen likes the idea that clothes are finding new homes instead of being thrown away. “Because it helps to keep the Earth green. There’s no point in my opinion in continuing to buy new clothes when we can reuse what’s already here. Give it a new home--- let somebody else love what you used to love and no longer love.”Kim Pratt organized the clothing-swapping event in Springfield. She also organized a money-raising activity for the high school’s debate team. It is one of several ways that her group gives to charitable causes. Another is by donating all of the “un-swapped” clothing to shelters for victims of domestic violence.“I started doing this four years ago, and we’ve been doing it for four years, getting bigger an d bigger each time we have a swap.”She used the social media website meetup to help publicize the events. The website has helped her group grow from 30 members to 1,300. Mrs.Pratt says most of the members respect the clothing swap rules. But she says competition for desirable fashion can be strong.“We have to tell people sometimes not to hover over the new people coming in with their clothing. As they put it out, some people tend to grab（抓住）the stuff right out of their hands and it becomes like a free-for-all. We try to avoid that as much as possible.”24.At a clothes swap women can ______.A. make some money by giving away unwanted clothingB. buy whatever clothing they likeC. have a social gathering and make friendsD. exchange unwanted clothing for something different25. We can learn from what Daphne Steinberg said that ______.A. she got some nice clothes at the clothes swapB. the clothes swap was the largest ever in the areaC. it was the first time she had been to a clothes swapD. she saved much more money than she had expected26. What is Paragraph 5 mainly about?A. How Kim Pratt started the clothing-swapping event.B. What Kim Pratt did with the un-swapped clothes.C. How Kim Pratt raised money to help charitable causes.D. What Kim Pratt did to help people in need.27. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that ______ .A. clothes swaps often go out of control in the endB. clothes-swapping is becoming increasingly popular with womenC. Improper behavior at clothes swaps needs to be controlledD. more clothing swapping events need to be organizedCRecently, online high schools in America have caused a debate about whether or not taxpayers’ money should be used to support online education. Online schools receive the same amount of f unding as all other public schools, even though they don’t have to pay for rent or school equipment. States should use their educational funds to improve education at real schools, not to support online programs.Some students only use online classes to supplement（补充）their school work. They benefit from the social experience of a traditional high school, while still taking online courses.However, about 90 thousand students in America receive their education only from online schools. 50 thousand of these students take courses at Florida Virtual School, the largest online school in the country. While this method of schooling helps students who live in remote regions, most school systems are upset that they are losing more students each year to these online programs.Although online learning allows children to work at their own pace, these online schools have only one teacher per several hundred students. Often, teachers can’t give struggling students the help they need as they are unable to talk face-to-face with them, to find exactly what they’re having difficulty with.Additionally, even though online schooling accommodates（顾及）students who live in more remote states, students in online programs may suffer in social situations because they will not learnvaluable communication skills from their schooling. Similar to students who are home schooled, those who take only online classes won’t learn social etiquette（礼节）, and will be treated differently by their peers.Online schooling might be useful for places where there are not enough students for a real school, such as agricultural regions, but states should only spend taxpayers’ money on online schools in extreme cases.28. What is the passage mainly about?A. Whether students should study at online schools.B. Whether online schools should be allowed to exist.C. Whether taxpayers should pay for online schools.D. Whether traditional schools should be replaced.29. According to the passage, online schooling _____.A. is helpful to students living in remote regionsB. allows students to work togetherC. makes it possible for students to get immediate helpD. develops students’ critical thinking30. According to Paragraph 5, the author worries that students at online schools _____.A. might lose interest in learningB. would play online gamesC. could not receive teachers’ helpD. could not become fully developed31. What is the author’s attitude?A. Taxpayers should not pay for online schools at all.B. Taxpayers should pay more for online schools than real schools.C. Taxpayers’ money should be spent on online schools conditionally.D. Taxpayers should support online schools in different ways.DLet's do some sleep math. You lost two hours of sleep every night last week because of a big project due on Friday. On Saturday and Sunday, you slept in, getting four extra hours. On Mondaymorning, you were feeling so bright-eyed, and you only had one cup of coffee, instead of your usual two. But don't be cheated by your energy: You're still carrying around a heavy load of sleepiness, or what experts call "sleep debt" -- in this case something like six hours, almost a full night's sleep.Sleep debt is the difference between the amount of sleep you should be getting and the amount you actually get. It's a deficit (赤字) that grows every time we skim some extra minutes off our nightly sleep. "People accumulate（积累）sleep debt gradually without being noticed," says psychiatrist William C. Dement, founder of the Stanford University Sleep Research Centre. Studies show that such short-term lack of sleep leads to a foggy brain, worsened vision, and trouble remembering. Long-term effects include obesity and heart disease. A survey by the National Sleep Foundation reports that we're losing one hour of sleep each night -- more than two full weeks of sleep each year.The good news is that, like all debts, with some work, sleep debt can be repaid. Adding an extra hour or two of sleep a night is the way to catch up on sleep debt. For the long-term lack of sleep, take it easy for a few months to get back into a natural sleep pattern. Go to bed when you are tired, and allow your body to wake you in the morning (no alarm clock allowed). You may find yourself catatonic (有紧张感的) in the beginning of the recovery cycle: Expect to have ten hours' shut-eye per night. As the days pass, however, the amount of sleeping time will gradually decrease.So earn back that lost sleep -- and follow the orders of your inner sleep needs, and you'll feel better. "When you put away sleep debt, you become superman," says Stanford's Dement, talking about the improved mental and physical abilities that come with being well rested.32. The example of sleep math is used to show .A. in what case you build up a sleep debtB. why you need six hours' sleep every nightC. why you are full of energy even when lacking sleepD. in what case you should drink coffee to keep energetic33. The author begins Paragraph 2 with .A. an exampleB. a definition（定义）C. an argumentD. a discussion34. By saying the underlined sentence in the last paragraph, Dement means .A. you can get enough sleep with the superman’s helpB. you can achieve your goals with a sleep debtC. you will be in a good state with enough sleepD. you will be clever if you accumulate sleep debt35. What might be the most suitable title for the text?A. How Can You Keep Energetic?B. Can You Have a Good Sleep?C. What Is Sleep Debt?D. Can You Catch up on Sleep Debt?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。
