湖南省冷水江市第一中学2016届高考英语三轮冲刺 真题周周练(二十)
高考真题周周练（20）阅读理解AThe way we do things round hereSome years ago, I was hired by an American bank. I received a letter from the head of the Personnel Department that started, “Dear John, I am quite pleased that you have decided to join us.” That “quite” saddened me. I thought he was saying “we're kind of pleased you decided to join us although I wis h we had hired someone else.” Then I discovered that in American English “quite” sometimes means “very”, while in British English it means “fairly”.So the first lesson about working in other countries is to learn the language and by that I don't just mean the words people speak. It is body language, dress, manners, ideas and so on. The way people do things highlights many of the differences we see between cultures (文化). Some of these differences may be only on the surface — dress, food and hours of work —while others may be deeper and take longer to deal with. Mostly, it is just a que stion of getting used to the differences and accepting them, like the climate (气候), while getting on with business.Some of the differen ces may be an improvement. People are more polite; the service is better; you ask for something to be done and it happens without having to ask again. However, other differences can be troubling, like punctuality (准时). If you invite people to a party at 7 o'clock your guests will consider it polite to turn up exactly on time in Germany, five minutes early in the American Midwest, an hour early in Japan, 15 minutes afterwards in the UK, up to an hour afterwards in Italy and some time in the evening in Greece. I prefer not to use the word “late” because there is nothing wrong with the times people arrive. It is simply the accepted thing to do in their own country.21. The author was unhappy as mentioned in Paragraph 1 because he thought ______.A. the Ame rican bank didn't think much of himB. the American bank might hire another personC. it's difficult to get used to American cultureD. it's easy to misunderstand Americans22. The word “highlights” in Paragraph 2 probably means ______.A. encouragesB. helps to narrowC. increasesD. draws attention to23. According to the author, what should we do with most cultural differences?A. Ask the native people for help.B. Understand and accept them.C. Do things in our own way.D. Do in-depth research.24. When invited to a party the people who are usually punctual are ______.A. ItaliansB. GermansC. GreeksD. the BritishB“I didn't hear them call my name,” explained Shelley Hennig to Active Teens (AT) as she talked about that exciting moment on national television when she won the honor of Miss Teen USA 2004. “Are you ready?” is what she heard. The n she said, “I shook my head no, and thenthey said ‘yes’ and it was announce d again.”It was four days after that life changing moment for the seventeen-year-old high school student from Destrehan, Louisiana — she was still on cloud nine.“I was so shocked! I never believed that it could actually really happen.” Present in the audience (观众) that day were: her mother and father, older brother, her friends, and her dance teacher.Understanding why members of her family and her friends would be there, AT asked why her dance teacher had traveled so far to see her compet e (比赛). “She's always been my role model．I've danced with her since I was six. She's been through so many difficulties and came through them all. I've learned to get over bad life's experiences and learned how to move on because of her.”One of those bad life's experiences for Shelley happened three years ago when her brother Brad was killed in a drunk driving accident. He was 18. She found writing helped her get through the ro ugh days. She said, “I write a lot about my brother. I write a lot, a lot, a lot ...”As Miss Louisiana Teen, she traveled around the state speaking to teens (青少年) about the dangers of drinking and driving. In her role as Miss Teen USA, Shelley will continue to speak to youth about safe driving, in addition to many other things to he lp the youth.When AT asked Miss Teen USA if she had any advice for our readers, she said, “Don't let anyone change you. Hang out with people that make you feel good about yours elf. That way, it is easy to be yourself.”25. What do the words “on cloud nine” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A. frightenedB. troubledC. very happyD. very angry26. Shelley takes her dance teachers as a role medel mainly because she is ______.A. determinedB. friendlyC. strictD. experienced27. How many children did the Hennigs have according to the text?A. 1.B. 2.C. 3.D. 4.28. What did Shelley often do after she became Miss Louisiana Teen?A. She visited drunken drivers.B. She gave dance performances.C. She made speeches on safe driving.D. She helped other teens with their studies.29. What suggestion does Shelley give to the teens?A. Be yourself with the support of friends.B．Meet friends whenever possible.C. Go easy on yourself and others.D. Have a good role model.完形填空My husband, Tom, has always been good wit h animals, but I was still amazed when he befriendeda female grouse (松鸡).

高考真题周周练（4）阅读理解ALast week my youngest son and I visited my father at his new home in Tucson, Arizona. He moved there a few years ago, and I was eager to see his new place and meet his friends.My earliest memories of my father are a tall, handsome, successful man devoted to his work and family, but uncomfortable with his children. As a child I loved him; as a school girl and young adult I feared him and felt bitter about him. He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight A's and unhappy with m y boyfriends if their fathers were not as “successful” as he was. Whenever I went out with him on weekends, I used to struggle to think up things to say, feeling on guard. On the first day of my visit, we went out with one of my father's friends for lunch at an outdoor café. We talked along that afternoon, did some shopping, ate on the street table, and laughed over my son's funny facial expressions. Gone was my father's critical (挑剔的) air and strict rules. Who was this person I knew as my father, who seemed so friendly and interesting to be around? What had held him back before?The next day my dad pulled out his childhood pictures and told me quite a few stories about his own childhood. Although our times together became easier over the years, I never felt closer to him at that moment. After so many years, I'm at last seeing another side of my father. And in so doing, I'm delighted with my new friend. My dad, in his new home in Arizona, is back to me from where he was.21. Why did the author feel bitter about her father as a young adult?A.

The fruits that made it to the UK were green on the outside and, more often than not, hard with an unpleasant taste within. Then in 1966, the Del Monte Gold pineapple produced in Hawaii first hit our shelves.The new type of pineapple looked more yellowy-gold than green. It was slightly so fter on the outside and had a lot of juice inside. But the most important thing about this new type of pineapple was that it was twice as sweet as the hit-and-miss pineapples we had known. In no time, the Del Monte Gold took the market by storm, rapidly becoming the world's best-selling pineapple variety, and delivering natural levels of sweetness in the mouth, up until then only found in tinned pineapple.In nutrition (营养) it was all good news too. This nice-tasting pineapple contained four times more vitamin C (维生素C) than the old green variety. Nutritionists said that it was not only full of vitamins, but also good against some diseases. People were understandably eager to be able to buy this wonderful fruit. The new type of pineapple was selling fast, and the Del Monte Gold pineapple rapidly became a fixture in the shopping basket of the healthy eater. Seeing the growing market for its winning pineapple, Del Monte tried to keep the market to itself. But other fruit companies developed similar pineapples. Del Monte turned to law for help, but fail ed. Those companies argued successfully that Del Monte's attempts to keep the golden pineapple for itself were just a way to knock them out of the market.25. We learn from the text that the new type of pineapple is ______.A. green outside and sweet insideB. good-looking outside and soft insideC. yellowy-gold outside and hard insideD. a little soft outside and sweet ins ide26. Why was the new type of pineapple sel ling well?A. It was rich in nutrition and tasted nice.B. It was less sweet and good for health.C. It was developed by Del Monte.D. It was used as medicine.27.

We learn from the last paragraph that Del Monte ______.A. allowed other companies to develop pineapplesB. succee ded in keeping the pineapple for itselfC. tried hard to control the pineapple marketD. planned to help the other companies完形填空From the time each of my children started school, I packed their lunches.

高考真题周周练（11）阅读理解AThe oldest and most common source (来源) of renewable energy known to man, biomass is one of the most important forms of energy production in the United States and elsewhere. Since such a wide variety of biomass materials is everywhere — from trees and grasses to a gricultural and city-life wastes — bioma ss promises to play a continuing role in providing power and heat for millions of people around the world.According to the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS), biomass is a kind of renewable energy source that produces no carbon dioxide (二氧化碳), because the energy it contains comes from the sun. When plant matter is burned, it gives off the sun's energy. In this way, biomass serves as a sort of natural battery (电池) for storing the sun's energy. As long as biomass is produced continuously — with only as much grown as is used — the “battery” lasts forever.According to the Energy Information Administration, biomass has been one of the leading renewable energy sources in the United States for several years running through 2007, making up between 0.5 and 0.9 percent of the nation's total electricity supply. In 2008 — although the numbers aren't all in yet — wind power probably took over first place because of the rapid development of wind farms across the country.Producing power from biomass helps reduce some 11 million tons of carbon dioxide each year. Some homeowners also try to make their own heat by using biomass materials. Such practice may save homeowner's money, but it also produces a lot of pollution. So, the best way is to encourage power plants to use it.21. Why is biomass considered as “a sort of natural battery”?A. It burns merely plant matter.B. It keeps producing electricity.C. It stores the energy from the sun.D. It produces zero carbon dioxide.22. We learn from the text that in 2008 ______.A. wind power would be the leader of renewable energyB. there was a rapid growth of electricity productionC. biomass might become the main energy sourceD. 0.5~0.9% of power supply came from biomass23. Why does the author encourage power plants to use biomass?A. To prevent the waste of energy.B. To increase production safety.C. To reduce pollution.D. To save money.24. Where does the text probably come from?A. A research plan.B. A science magazine.C. A book review.D. A business report.BSome people will do just about anything to save money. And I am one of them. Take my family's last vacation. It was my six-year-old son's win ter break from school, and we were heading homefrom Fort Lauderdale after a weeklong trip. The flight was overbooked, and Delta, the airline, offered us $400 per person in credits to give up our seats and leave the next day. I had meetingsin New York, so I had to get back. But that didn't mean my husband and my son couldn't stay.I took my nine-month-old and t ook off for home.The next day, my husband and son were offered more credits to take an even later flight. Yes, I encouraged — okay, ordered — them to wait it out at the airport, to "earn" more Delta Dollars. Our total take: $1,600. Not bad, huh?Now some people may think I'm a bad mother and not such a great wife either. But as a big-time bargain hunter, I know the value of a dollar. And these days, a good deal is something few of us can afford to pass up.I've made a living looking for the best deals and exposing (揭露) the worst tricks.

And I really do what I believe in.I tell you this because there is no shame in getting your money's worth. I'm also tightfisted when it comes to shoes, clothes for my children, and expensive restaurants. But I wouldn't hesitate to spend on a good haircut. It keeps its shape longer, and it's the first thing people notice. And I will also spend on a classi c piece of furniture. Quality lasts.25. Why did Delta give the author's family credits?A. Their flight had been delayed.B. They had early bookings.C. They took a later flight.D. Their flight had been cancelled.26. What can we learn about the author?A.

高考真题周周练（4）阅读理解ALast week my youngest son and I visited my father at his new home in Tucson, Arizona. He moved there a few years ago, and I was eager to see his new place and meet his friends.My earliest memories of my father are a tall, handsome, successful man devoted to his work and family, but uncomfortable with his children. As a child I loved him; as a school girl and young adult I feared him and felt bitter about him. He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight A's and unhappy with m y boyfriends if their fathers were not as “successful” as he was. Whenever I went out with him on weekends, I used to struggle to think up things to say, feeling on guard. On the first day of my visit, we went out with one of my father's friends for lunch at an outdoor café. We talked along that afternoon, did some shopping, ate on the street table, and laughed over my son's funny facial expressions. Gone was my father's critical (挑剔的) air and strict rules. Who was this person I knew as my father, who seemed so friendly and interesting to be around? What had held him back before?The next day my dad pulled out his childhood pictures and told me quite a few stories about his own childhood. Although our times together became easier over the years, I never felt closer to him at that moment. After so many years, I'm at last seeing another side of my father. And in so doing, I'm delighted with my new friend. My dad, in his new home in Arizona, is back to me from where he was.21. Why did the author feel bitter about her father as a young adult?A. He was silent most of the time.B. He was too proud of himself.C. He did not love his children.D. He expected too much of h er.22. When the author went out with her father o n weekends, she would feel ______.A. nervousB. sorryC. tiredD. safe23. What does the author think of her father after her visit to Tucson?A. More critical.B. More talkative.C. Gentle and friendly.D. Strict and hard-working.24. The underlined words “my new friend” in the last paragraph refer to ______.A. the author's sonB. the author's fatherC. the friend of the author's fatherD. the café ownerBMore than 10 years ago, it was difficult to buy a tasty pineapple (菠萝). The fruits that made it to the UK were green on the outside and, more often than not, hard with an unpleasant taste within. Then in 1966, the Del Monte Gold pineapple produced in Hawaii first hit our shelves.The new type of pineapple looked more yellowy-gold than green. It was slightly so fter on the outside and had a lot of juice inside. But the most important thing about this new type of pineapple was that it was twice as sweet as the hit-and-miss pineapples we had known. In no time, the Del Monte Gold took the market by storm, rapidly becoming the world's best-selling pineapple variety, and delivering natural levels of sweetness in the mouth, up until then only found in tinned pineapple.In nutrition (营养) it was all good news too. This nice-tasting pineapple contained four times more vitamin C (维生素C) than the old green variety. Nutritionists said that it was not only full of vitamins, but also good against some diseases. People were understandably eager to be able to buy this wonderful fruit. The new type of pineapple was selling fast, and the Del Monte Gold pineapple rapidly became a fixture in the shopping basket of the healthy eater. Seeing the growing market for its winning pineapple, Del Monte tried to keep the market to itself. But other fruit companies developed similar pineapples. Del Monte turned to law for help, but fail ed. Those companies argued successfully that Del Monte's attempts to keep the golden pineapple for itself were just a way to knock them out of the market.25. We learn from the text that the new type of pineapple is ______.A. green outside and sweet insideB. good-looking outside and soft insideC. yellowy-gold outside and hard insideD. a little soft outside and sweet ins ide26. Why was the new type of pineapple sel ling well?A. It was rich in nutrition and tasted nice.B. It was less sweet and good for health.C. It was developed by Del Monte.D. It was used as medicine.27. The underlined word “fixture” in Paragraph 3 probably refers to something ______.A. that people enjoy eatingB. that is always presentC. that is difficult to getD. that people use as a gift28. We learn from the last paragraph that Del Monte ______.A. allowed other companies to develop pineapplesB. succee ded in keeping the pineapple for itselfC. tried hard to control the pineapple marketD. planned to help the other companies完形填空From the time each of my children started school, I packed their lunches.

高考真题周周练（3）阅读理解Something in chocolate could be used to stop coughs and lead to more effective medicines, say UK researchers.Their study found that theobromine, found in cocoa, was nearly a third more effective in stopping coughs than codeine, which was considered the best cough medicine at present.The Imperial College London researchers who published their results online said the discovery could lead to more effective cough treatments. “While coughing is not necessarily harmful (有害的) it can have a major effect on the quality of life, and this discovery could be a huge step forward in treating this problem,” said Professor Peter Barnes.Ten healthy volunteers (志愿者) were given theobromine, codeine or placebo, a pill that contains no medicine, during the experiment. Neither the volunteers nor the researchers knew who received which pill. The researchers then measured levels of capsaicin, which is used in research to cause coughing and as a sign of how well the medicines are stopping coughs.The team found that, when the volunteers were given theobromine, the capsaicin needed to produce a cough was around a third higher than in the placebo group. When they were given codeine they needed only slightly higher levels of capsaicin to cause a cough compared with the placebo. The researchers said that theobromine worked by keeping down a nerve activity (神经活动), which causes coughing. They also found that unlike some standard cough treatments, theobromine caused no side effects such as sleepiness.21. According to Professor Barnes, theobromine ______.A. cannot be as effective as codeineB. can be harmful to people's healthC. cannot be separated from chocolateD. can be a more effective cure for coughs22. What was used in the experiment to cause coughing?A. Theobromine.B. Codeine.C. Capsaicin.D. Placebo.23. We learn from the text that volunteers in the experiment ______.A. were patients with bad coughsB. were divided into three groupsC. received standard treatmentsD. suffered little side effects24. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A. Codeine: A New MedicineB. Chocolate May Cure CoughsC. Cough Treatment: A Hard CaseB. Theobromine Can Cause Coughs阅读七选五Evaluating Sources (来源) of health InformationMaking good choices about your own health requires reasonable evaluation. A key first stepin bettering your evaluation ability is to look carefully at your sources of health information. Reasonable evaluation includes knowing where and how to find relevant information, how to separate fact from opinion, how to recognize poor reasoning, and how to analyze information and the reliability of sources. 36Go to the original source. Media reports often simplify the results of medical research. Find out for yourself what a study really reported, and determine whether it was based on good science. Think about the type of study. 37Watch for misleading language. Some studies will find that a behav ior “contributes to” or is “associated with” an outcome; this does not mean that a certain course must lead to a certain result. 38 Carefully read or listen to information in order to fully understand it. Use your common sense. If a report seems too good to be true, probably it is. Be especially careful of information contained in advertisements. 39 Evaluate “scientific” statements carefully, and be aware of quackery (江湖骗术).40 Friends and family members can be a great source of ideas and inspir ation, but each of us needs to find a healthy lifestyle that works for us.Developing the ability to evaluate reasonably and indepen dently about health problems will serve you well throughout your life.A. Make choices that are right for you.B. The goal of an ad is to sell you something.C. Be sure to work through the critical questions.D. And examine the findings of the original research.E. Distinguish between research reports and public health advice.F. Be aware that information may also be incorrectly explained by an author's point of view.G. The following suggestions can help you sort through the health information you receive from common sources.完形填空After the birth of my second child, I got a job at a restaurant.

高考真题周周练（8）阅读理解APassenger pigeons (旅鸽) once flew over much of the United States in unbelievable numbers. Written accounts from the 18th and 19th centuries described flocks (群) so large that they darkened the sky for hours.It was calculated that when its population reached its highest point, there were more than 3 billion passenger pigeons — a number equal to 24 to 40 percent of the total bird population in the United States, making it perhaps the most abundant bird in the world. Even as late as 1870 when their numbers had already become smaller, a flock believed to be 1 mile wide and 320 miles (about 515 kilometers) long was seen near Cincinnati.Sadly, the abundance of passenger pigeons may have been their undoing. Where the birds were most abundant, people believed there was an ever-lasting supply and killed them by the thousands. Commercial hunters attracted them to small clearings with grain, waited until pigeons had settled to feed, then threw large nets over them, taking hundreds at a time. The birds were shipped to large cities and sold in restaurants.By the closing decades of the 19th century, the hardwood forests where passenger pigeons nested had been damaged by Americans’need for wood, which scattered (驱散) the flocks and forced the birds to go farther north, where cold temperatures and spring storms contributed to their decline. Soon the great flocks were gone, never to be seen again.In 1897, the state of Michigan passed a law prohibiting the killing of passenger pigeons but by then, no sizable flocks had been seen in the state for 10 years. The last confirmed wild pigeon in the United States was shot by a boy in Pike County, Ohio, in 1900. For a time, a few birds survived under human care. The last of them, known affectionately as Martha, died at the Cincinnati Zoological Garden on September 1, 1914.21. In the 18th and early 19th cent uries, passenger pigeons ______.A. were the biggest bird in the worldB. lived mainly in the south of AmericaC. did great harm to the natural environmentD. were the largest bird population in the US22. The underlined word “undoing” probably refers to the pigeons' ______.A. escapeB. ruinC. liberationD. evolution23. What was the main reason for people to kill passenger pigeons?A. To seek pleasure.B. To save other birds.C. To make money.D. To protect crops.24. What can we infer about the law passed in Michigan?A. It was ignored by the public.B. It was declared too late.C. It was unfair.D. It was strict.BA typical lion tamer (驯兽师) in people's mind is an entertainer holding a whip (鞭) at a chair. The whip gets all of the attention, but it's mostly for show. In reality, it's the chair that does the important work. When a lion tamer holds a chair in front of the lion's face, thelion tries to focus on all four legs of the chair at the same time. With its focus divided, the lion becomes confused and is unsure about what to do next. When faced with so many options, the lion chooses to freeze and wait instead of attacking the man holding the chair.How often do you find yourself in the same position as the lion? How often do you have something you want to achieve (e.g. lose weight, start a business, travel more) —only to end up confused by all of the options in front of you and never make progress?This upsets me to no end because while all the experts are busy debating about which option is best, the people who want to improve their lives are left confused by all of the conflicting information. The end result is that we feel like we can't focus or that we're focused on the wrong things, and so we take less action, make less progress, and stay the same when we could be improving.It doesn't have to be that way. Anytime y ou find the world waving a chair in your face, remember this: All you need to do is focus on one thing. You just need to get started. Starting before you feel ready is one of the habits of successful people. If you have somewhere you want to go, something you want to accomplish, someone you want to become ... take immediate action. If you're clear about where you want to go, the rest of the world will either help you get there or get out of the way.25. Why does th e lion tamer use a chair?A. To trick the lion.B. To show off his skills.C. To get ready for a fight.D. To entertain the audience.26. In what sense are people similar to a lion facing a chair?A. They feel puzzled over choices.B. They hold on to the wrong things.C. They find it hard to make changes.D. They have to do something for show.27. What is the author's attitude towards the experts mentioned in Paragraph 3?A. Tolerant.B. Doubtful.C. Respectful.D. Supportive.28. When the world is “waving a chair in your face”, yo u're advised to ______.A. wait for a better chanceB. break your old habitsC. make a quick decisionD. ask for clear guidance完形填空On a hot summer day in late August, I sought shade and a cool drink at a waterfront cafe on a Greek island.

However, the only way for them to get that honey is to find a wild bees' nest (巢) and take the honey from it. Often, these nests are high upin trees, and it is difficult to find them. In parts of Africa, though, people and animals looking for honey have a strange and unexpected helper — a little bird called a honey guide.The honey guide does not actually like honey, but it does like the wax (蜂蜡) in the beehives (蜂房). The little bird cannot reach this wax, which is deep inside the bees' nest. So, when it finds a suitable nes t, it looks for someone to help it. The honey gu ide gives a loud cry that attracts the attention of both passing animals and people. Once it has their attention, it flies through the forest, waiting from time to time for the curious animal or person as it leads them to the nest. When they finally arrive at the nest, the follower reaches in to get at the delicious honey as the bird patiently waits and watches. Some of the honey, and t he wax, always falls to the ground, and this is when the honey guide takes its sh are.Scientists do not know why the honey guide likes eating the wax, but it is very determinedin its efforts to get it. The birds seem to be able to smell wax from a long distance away. They will quickly arrive whenever a beekeeper is taking honey from his beehives, and will even enter churches when beeswax candles are being lit.25. Why is it difficult to find a wild bees' nest?A.

高考真题周周练（20）阅读理解AThe way we do things round hereSome years ago, I was hired by an American bank. I received a letter from the head of the Personnel Department that started, “Dear John, I am quite pleased that you have decided to join us.” That “quite” saddened me. I thought he was saying “we're kind of pleased you decided to join us although I wis h we had hired someone else.” Then I discovered that in American English “quite” sometimes means “very”, while in British English it means “fairly”.So the first lesson about working in other countries is to learn the language and by that I don't just mean the words people speak. It is body language, dress, manners, ideas and so on. The way people do things highlights many of the differences we see between cultures (文化). Some of these differences may be only on the surface — dress, food and hours of work —while others may be deeper and take longer to deal with. Mostly, it is just a que stion of getting used to the differences and accepting them, like the climate (气候), while getting on with business.Some of the differen ces may be an improvement. People are more polite; the service is better; you ask for something to be done and it happens without having to ask again. However, other differences can be troubling, like punctuality (准时). If you invite people to a party at 7 o'clock your guests will consider it polite to turn up exactly on time in Germany, five minutes early in the American Midwest, an hour early in Japan, 15 minutes afterwards in the UK, up to an hour afterwards in Italy and some time in the evening in Greece. I prefer not to use the word “late” because there is nothing wrong with the times people arrive. It is simply the accepted thing to do in their own country.21. The author was unhappy as mentioned in Paragraph 1 because he thought ______.A. the Ame rican bank didn't think much of himB. the American bank might hire another personC. it's difficult to get used to American cultureD. it's easy to misunderstand Americans22. The word “highlights” in Paragraph 2 probably means ______.A. encouragesB. helps to narrowC. increasesD. draws attention to23. According to the author, what should we do with most cultural differences?A. Ask the native people for help.B. Understand and accept them.C. Do things in our own way.D. Do in-depth research.24. When invited to a party the people who are usually punctual are ______.A. ItaliansB. GermansC. GreeksD. the BritishB“I didn't hear them call my name,” explained Shelley Hennig to Active Teens (AT) as she talked about that exciting moment on national television when she won the honor of Miss Teen USA 2004. “Are you ready?” is what she heard. The n she said, “I shook my head no, and thenthey said ‘yes’ and it was announce d again.”It was four days after that life changing moment for the seventeen-year-old high school student from Destrehan, Louisiana — she was still on cloud nine.“I was so shocked! I never believed that it could actually really happen.” Present in the audience (观众) that day were: her mother and father, older brother, her friends, and her dance teacher.Understanding why members of her family and her friends would be there, AT asked why her dance teacher had traveled so far to see her compet e (比赛). “She's always been my role model．I've danced with her since I was six. She's been through so many difficulties and came through them all. I've learned to get over bad life's experiences and learned how to move on because of her.”One of those bad life's experiences for Shelley happened three years ago when her brother Brad was killed in a drunk driving accident. He was 18. She found writing helped her get through the ro ugh days. She said, “I write a lot about my brother. I write a lot, a lot, a lot ...”As Miss Louisiana Teen, she traveled around the state speaking to teens (青少年) about the dangers of drinking and driving. In her role as Miss Teen USA, Shelley will continue to speak to youth about safe driving, in addition to many other things to he lp the youth.When AT asked Miss Teen USA if she had any advice for our readers, she said, “Don't let anyone change you. Hang out with people that make you feel good about yours elf. That way, it is easy to be yourself.”25. What do the words “on cloud nine” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A. frightenedB. troubledC. very happyD. very angry26.
