Many people even __48__ them to cheaper clothes.Many young people today __49__ the way they look. They often buy “designer"clothes because they think they look cool.

Part3 Reading and Writing(第三部分读写)
VI. Reading comprehension(阅读理解)(共50分)
A. Choose the best answer(根据以下内容,选择最恰当的答案)(12分)
1. At 8 A.M. one scorching summer Friday, Joe Minihane sat by the pool at the William Vale hotel, in Williamsburg. A slim thirty-six-year-old from Essex, England, Minihane is interested to find a nice place to swim. In 2010, he was an unhappy tech journalist in London when he discovered the
nature writer Roger Deakin’s book" Waterlog: A Swimmers Journey Through Britain, " in which Deakin took a"frog's-eye view "of his homeland by swimming in its rivers,lochs, lidos, fens,moas, dykes, aqueducts, and canals(不同的河流). Deakin died in2006,but “Waterlog "helped launch a wild-swimming craze in Britain; last month, the Local Government Association issued a warning after an increase in drownings.
2. Like Julie Powell cooking her way through Julia Child, Minihane decided to reswim Deakin’s course. Also like Powell, he got a book deal out of it, as the author of "Floating: A Life Regained. " Minihane took two and a half years to cover seventy-seven locations, from London's Tooting Bec Lido to the Llyn Cwm Bychan, a lake in north Wales. "It initially started out as this lovely thing to help me get over my anxiety, "Minihane said "And then it just turned into a way of me getting quite stressed(有压力的) about not doing the project. I had to remember that swimming's actually really fun. "(Deakin wrote, "I can dive in with a long face and what feels like a terminal case of depression and come out a whistling idiot. ")
3. Minihane had flown in to New York the night before, after a short stay in Iceland, where he swam the Blue Lagoon, near Grindavik. His goal: to swim in each of the five boroughs in one day. There had already been compromises. He decided not to brave the rivers("Dealing with currents and angry boats isn't really calming") or other unconventional (不寻常的) waterways (the Gowanus Canal, a friend had warned him, is"technically an open sewer). He had wanted to stick to public pools, but they didn't open until eleven, so he made an exception for his first borough. He stripped down to (脱到只剩下) orange-and-blue trunks.a swimming cap ,and goggles,and did ten laps in the hotel pool.“Grogeous”he said,drying off. That covered Brooklyn.
4. He showered and got on the subway, Swimming the five boroughs is more of a transportation challenge than an aquatic one(水里的问题), but Minihane was used to logistical hurdles(通勤上的问题). Several of Deakin' s swimming spots had been inaccessible, such as a flooded quarry on the Scottish isle of Belnahua. In"Julie & Julia, " Powell has to conquer boning a duck; Minihane's ultimate challenge was bathing in a series of limestone plunge pools in Hell Gill, a gorge in the Yorkshire Dales. "After that”, he said, "I realized that nothing would be a problem. "
5. On his way to Queens, Minihane had to drop off his bag at a friend's office in midtown, but when he arrived he realized he'd gone to the wrong address: it was Park Avenue South. Disaster! He called a taxi and rode twenty-seven blocks down. "We aren't that late, "he said in the elevator. "It just means the swims will get shorter and shorter. " He caught the W train out to the Astoria Pool: the city's oldest and largest, at 54, 450 square feet. A seniors' water-aerobics class was in training, but there was plenty of room for Minihane to do laps(游几圈)." It's what municipal(大城市的) pools should be,” he said when he got out, and quoted(引用了一个人的话) JosiahStamp, the former head of the Bank of England: "When we get down to swimming, we get downto democracy.”
6. Next, he took an Uber to the floating pool at Barretto Point Park, in the Bronx, where there were views of Rikers Island and lots of kids splashing around and yelling in Spanish. "Virtually impossible to swim in a straight line, "Minihane reported, "but it was fun. " He rode the 6 train down to the Hamilton Fish Recreation Center, on the Lower East Side, which was packed with families cooling off. "That was chaos-in a good way, "he said.
7. The pools closed for cleaning from three to four, allowing just enough time to get to Staten Island. On the ferry, Minihane gazed out at the bay. " Maybe I should have swum across, " he said."I prefer swimming in open bodies of water. You set your own course. "At Lyons Pool, on the northeast edge of Staten Island, he locked up his things and did his last set of laps. He leaned on the edge of the pool. "I’m unaccountably pleased that this thing exists, "he said, happy as a whistling idiot.
69. As for Minihane, which of the following is right according to the article?

D. Answer the questions(根据以下内容回答问题)(12分)
It was Saturday again. Grace and Karen disliked Saturdays. That was another thing the twins had in common. They shared the same clothes and tied their hair in the same manner. In fact, it was hard for their classmates and teachers to tell them apart sometimes.
Unlike their classmates, they had to get up early at seven every Saturday to prepare for their lessons. Grace had to attend the art lesson and Karen had to attend her ballet lesson. "How I wish I could do something different today,” said the twins with one voice. All at once, an idea came to Grace and Karen at the same time. "How would you like to be me for a day?"they asked each other. It seemed like a wonderful plan to them. After giving each other a description of their own friends, Grace put on Karen's ballet dress while Karen put Grace's brushes and paints into her bag. Then they left for their classes.
When the art lesson started, Karen was lost. Unlike Grace, Karen was poor at drawing. When the art lesson finally ended, Karen didn’t dare to hand in her work.
Meanwhile, Grace was struggling in the ballet class as well. As she had no idea about the dance steps, she had to follow her classmates blindly. As a result, she kept knocking into them. Their ballet teacher became impatient with her, "Karen, you should remember the basic steps. You can't rely on copying what others are doing.”
When Karen and Grace got home, they were tired out. They decided that they would never try to be someone else they were not. It seemed that the grass was not always greener on the other side.
88. Did Grace and Karen like Saturdays?
89. When did the twins get up on Saturdays?
90. What was the twins' plan when they decided to do something different?
91. How did Karen feel at the beginning of the art lesson?
92. Why did the ballet teacher become impatient?
93. What does the underlined part"the grass was not always greener on the other side"at the end of the story try to tell us?
No,they didn’t
At seven
They plan to exchange their life
Karen was lost
Because Grace always forgot her basic steps
Someone must be good at his own subject or hobby,but he may not do well in others’. We should do what we are good at
