【题目】阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

The International Painting Contest on Google’s homepage in 2015 may look pretty strange,but it spotlightings a very serious issue:clean water, which is unusual for an 11-year-old from Long Island.

Audrey Zhang,a fifth-grader from Levittown,N.Y,is the winner of this year’s Doodle 4 Google contest,rising to the top of some 100,000 entries on the theme of“draw one thing to make the world a better place.”

Her piece,titled“Back to Mother Nature,”describes a detailed water-cleaning machine.Zhang worked with a team of artists at Google to animate(使……生动)her drawing.

“To make the world a better place,I came up with a transformative water purifier, a machine used to remove dirty or harmful substances,”Google quoted Zhang as saying.“It takes in dirty and polluted water from rivers,lakes and even oceans,then massively transforms the water into clean,safe and pure water. When humans and animals drink this water, they will live a healthier life.”

She created a whole world around the device—one populated by humans, a whale in a top hat and dragons.

Zhang,s piece is“so vivid and so rich and so full and so complete,Google Doodle team leader Ryan Germick told the Washington Post.“Every leaf seemed to have life in it.”

Along with having her artwork featured on Google’s homepage,Zhang wins a $30,000 college scholarship.In addition,her school will receive a $50,000 Google for Education technology grant,and the company is donating $20,000 in her name to a charity devoted to bringing clean water to schools in Bangladesh.

On Sunday, the night before her work was revealed on net,Zhang told Newsday she was excited by the big win,but said she wouldn't be awake when her art first went online at midnight.

“I have school-tomorrow, so I can’t stay up late,”she told the paper.

【题目】阅读理解
Do you love Beats headphones, True Religion jeans, and UGG shoes? These are some of the most popular brands (牌子) around. They are also expensive. But some experts say they are not much better than cheaper brands.

For example, Jim Wilcox works for Consumer Reports. He tested all kinds of headphones. He says that $80 Koss Pro headphones provide basically the same quality (质量) and comfort as Beats. So why do people pay twice or even 10 times as much for the hottest brands?
Experts say it's because fashionable, expensive brands send a message. Brands say “I belong” or “I can afford it.”
Some people think that expensive brand names are worth the price. They say that some designer clothes really are top quality and that they last longer than cheaper brands. Some teenagers choose to wear popular brands because these brands make them feel good about themselves.
Alexandra Allam, 17, likes to buy brand-name products. “I'd rather spend the extra money to get something I know I'll be satisfied with,” she says. Her friend Emmy Swan agrees, saying “As long as you can afford it, it seems reasonable to buy what you want.” But not all teenagers agree. “Spending hundreds of dollars for designer sunglasses is stupid and unreasonable,” says Daniel Steinbrecher, 16. “It's fake (假的) happiness.”
People who are against wearing expensive brand names say that many designer brands aren't any better. “It's wasteful to buy things just because they are popular,” says Edmund Williams, 15. “You'll feel better if you buy things because you like them. If you have extra money to spend, it would be better to give it to people in need.”
(1)Who have the same opinion on expensive brands?
A.Alexandra & Daniel.
B.Emmy & Edmund.
C.Daniel & Emmy.
D.Emmy & Alexandra.
(2)What does Edmund think of expensive brands?
A.They make him feel confident.
B.They are not worth the price.
C.They need to improve their quality.
D.They pay too much attention to personal likes.
(3)The text is mainly about _____.
A.how to buy things reasonably
B.the competition between brands
C.whether expensive brands are worth high prices
D.the different values of teenagers

Dear Jeremy and Alice,

Although we've been delighted to have you as neighbors, we're hoping to settle something that bothers to us. In a word, your dog—Cleo.

We've called several time about Cleo's early morning barking. It is difficult to understanding why she barks every minute she's outside. The early morning barking have been disturbing us as we are often up all night with the baby. Beside, Cleo tends to bark a average of six hours a day. This morning she starts barking even before 5 o'clock. That is too much for us, considering how closely the houses are.

We appreciate our apologies and goodwill, but we hope that you can figure a good way of settling the matter.

Sincerely,

Jack and Rose
