I will be the first to say that I am not materialistic. My friends regard me as a goody-goody; my parents say I am conservative and modest when it comes to clothes. None of my skirts or shorts end above my knees.
So why, why did I feel so invited? My family and I were in Target, and there it was, waiting. A skirt, specifically designed not to cover anything. It looked like something that one of those modern schoolgirls would wear.
I checked my purse. The skirt cost $10. I had the money. I could buy it. I imagined walking into school and my friends’ jaws (下巴) dropping. Guys would ask me out, and I would be happy. I could buy it, no, — I should buy it.
I showed my mother. She was surprised but said it was my decision. My sister looked on enviously.
I went into the dressing room to try it on. So sure was I that this skirt would change me, somehow make me not what I am but what I wished to be. I slid my jeans off and put it on. I looked in the mirror. There I was — a terrible girl in a Superman T-shirt and sneakers. My glasses fogged up as I started to cry. www.ks5u.com
The skirt did not change me. Though it fit well and might make me look good in the eyes of today’s world, it was not me. I am not a girl who wears cool clothes to fit in.
I took the thing off and slid back into the comfort of modesty. My mom knocked on the door. “Emily, are you okay?”
I wiped away my tears. “I’m fine.” I looked in the mirror again and saw a slim girl with funny glasses. I saw myself.
36. In the author’s eyes the skirt that interested her was ______.
A. not modern B. very short
C. too expensive D. poorly designed
37. The author thought if she went to school in this skirt her schoolmates would be ______.
A. shocked B. hurt C. confused D. happier
38. The underlined sentence in the 3rd paragraph indicates the author ______.
A. hesitated about buying the skirt
B. made up her mind to buy the skirt
C. was able to afford to buy the skirt
D. worried about others’ opinion on the skirt
39. The author cried because ______.
A. she found that she looked ugly in the skirt
B. she was aware the skirt didn’t fit her well
C. she realized it’s a wrong decision to make a change
D. she was disappointed the skirt failed to change her

写作参考范文
写作一
As can be seen in the picture, a tall tree with a big heart-shaped crown is standing there, protecting her two kids, one of whom is rather small and the other has to bend over.
The picture tries to tell us that the mother tree, in name of love, leaves too limited space for her kids to grow up, which is often the case in our social life. Some parents love and care their kids so much that they make every effort to protect them. In this way parents usually instruct their kids in every aspect and even control their lives, leaving no space for them to grow freely.
In my perspective, children need more freedom to grow up, even if they will meet with failures or frustrations. So, parents, give more space to your kids if you really love them and want to protect them.
写作二
Dear Peter,
How are you doing these days? I am writing to ask you something about SAT, as I am about to graduate from high school and apply for an American university. The questions I would like to know about are as follows.
When does SAT take place every year? What does SAT generally involve? Could you please give me some suggestions on how I should prepare for it, especially reading and writing, which I have the greatest difficulty in? As for references, do you happen to know some of help? If so, recommend them to me, will you? Books, websites and anything you can think of will do.
I would greatly appreciate it if you could kindly extend your help. I am looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
