题目内容

  These days, most people in Britain and the US do not wear very formal(正式的)clothes. But sometimes it is important to wear the right thing.

  Many British people don't think about clothes very much. They just like to be comfortable. When they go out to enjoy themselves, they can wear almost anything. At theatres, cinemas and concerts you can put on what you like--from elegant(优雅的)suits and dresses to jeans(牛仔裤)and sweaters. Anything goes, as long as you look clean and tidy.

  But in Britain, as well as the US, men in offices usually wear suits and ties, and women wear dresses or skirts (not trousers). Doctors, lawyers and business people wear quite formal clothes. And in some hotels and restaurants men have to wear ties and women wear smart dresses.

  In many ways, American people are more relaxed than British people, but they are more careful with their clothes. At home, or on holiday, most Americans wear informal or sporty(轻便的)clothes. But when they go out in the evening, they like to look elegant. In good hotels and restaurants, men have to wear jackets and ties, and woman wear pretty clothes and smart hairstyles(发型).

  It is difficult to say exactly what people wear in Britain and the US, because everyone is different. If you are not sure what to wear, watch what other people do and then do the same. You'll feel more relaxed if you don't look too different from everyone else.

(1) Many British people wear freely when they ________.

[  ]

A.attend meetings

B.attend lectures

C.spend their spare time

D.meet their friends

(2) Who of the following people don't usually wear suits and ties?

[  ]

A.Lawyers.

B.Doctors.

C.Drivers.

D.Secretaries.

 

(3) If you visit an American friend at his or hers in the evening, you may find that your friend wears ________.

[  ]

A.formal clothes

B.informal clothes

C.pretty clothes

D.dirty clothes

(4) If you are in a foreign country, the writer suggests you to wear ________.

[  ]

A.the same clothes as the people there wear

C.your native clothes

B.strange clothes

D.pretty formal clothes

答案:C;C;B;A
解析:

(1) 这是一道推断题。纵观全文,作者讲述了英国人和美国人在正式和非正式场合的穿着打扮,文章中谈到英美人在闲暇时间的穿着是非常随便的,因此选C

(2) 文中谈了lawyers, doctorssecretaries在上班时经常穿套装打领带,而文中未提到司机的穿着。故选C

(3) 由文章第四段中“At home, or on holiday, most Americans wear informal or sporty clothes.”可知答案为B

(4) 由文章最后一段“If you are not sure what to wear, watch what other people do and then do the same.”可知,正确答案是A

  The research carried out by the University of Bari in Italy could help prove hospitals who are accused of wasting money on art and decoration as it suggests a pleasant environment helps patients ease discomfort and pain.

  A team headed by Professor Marina de Tommaso at the Neurophysiopathology Pain Unit asked a group of men and women to pick the 20 paintings they considered most ugly and most beautiful from a selection of 300 works by artists such as Leonardo da Vinci and Sandro Botticelli.They were then asked to look at either the beautiful paintings, or the ugly painting, or a blank panel(板)while the team put a short laser pulse at their hand, creating a sensation as if they had been stuck by a pin.The subjects rated the pain as being a third less intense(剧烈的)while they were viewing the beautiful paintings, compared with when looking at the ugly paintings or the blank panel.Electrodes(电极)measuring the brain's electrical activity also confirmed a reduced response to the pain when the subject looked at beautiful paintings.

  While distractions, such as music, are known to reduce pain in hospital patients, Prof de Tommaso says this is the first result to show that beauty plays a part.

  The findings, reported in New Scientist, also go a long way to show that beautiful surroundings could aid the healing process.

  "Hospitals have been designed to be functional, but we think that their artistic aspects should be taken into account too," said the neurologist."Beauty obviously offers a distraction that ugly paintings do not.But at least there is no suggestion that ugly surroundings make the pain worse.I think these results show that more research is needed into the field how a beautiful environment can alleviate suffering."

  Pictures they liked included Starry Night by Vincent Van Gogh and Botticellis Birth of Venus.Pictures they found ugly included works by Pablo Picasso, the Italian 20th century artist Anonio Bueno and Columbian Fernando Botero."These people were not art experts so some of the pictures they found ugly would be considered masterpieces by the art world," said Prof de Tommaso.

(1)

The underlined word “alleviate” in the fifth paragraph probably means “________”.

[  ]

A.

D.

kill

(2)

Which of the following is TURE about the view of Prof Marina de Tommaso?

[  ]

A.

Beautiful surroundings could help to heal sufferings completely.

B.

Hospitals must take their artistic aspects into consideration first.

C.

Ugly surroundings will surely make the pain worse.

D.

Both music and beauty can reduce pain in hospital patients.

(3)

From the last paragraph, we know that ________.

[  ]

A.

some artists' paintings were beautiful, so they were masterpieces

B.

only art experts could judge they were masterpieces or not, though ugly

C.

the artists mentioned above were not really art masters.

D.

some of them were art masters, while others were not.

(4)

Which of the following is the suitable title for the passage?

[  ]

A.

Beautiful surroundings can ease pain.

B.

Ugly paintings could be masterpieces.

C.

More research should be done in the field.

D.

Oh God! I think I was about seven when my sisters and I pulled this stupid stunt(惊险动作).

I remember we were watching TV when we heard my   36  , Chris, yelling from the backyard. We all   37  out to see what happened. 38____ we finally located him, he was in a tree 39 from the highest tree branch. Crying, he explained he had climbed up the tree and couldn’t get down. One of us should climb up but we couldn’t   40  to get him moving down.

Luckily, my youngest sister, Ka, five then, had seen a(n)   41  situation. She suggested we grab a 42  , hold it under the branch, and tell him to 43____ so we could catch him. My other sister, Yams, one year younger than me, looked at me eagerly to   44  her idea and I said “Yeah, let’s try that.”

Immediately we   45  a sheet and held it beneath the tree. Now mind you, the ages holding this blanket were   46  from seven to five, thus the sheet was probably being held up to our waist and also close to touching the ground. But we were   47  it could work.

Chris, my brother, aged four, looked down at us with hesitation, asking in a 48   voice, “Are you sure I’ll land on the blanket?” But because of a problem at 49 with his tongue being a bit attached to the mouth, it came out like this, “Ah you sho awill lan on da blanked?” “Yup!” I told him, “We’re sure!” and he let go.

How   50  he was to trust us! And no matter how 51 we held, Chris fell right 52 that sheet and landed on his stomach. This tiny seventy-pound boy had made a big   53  right in the sheet!

Because he wasn’t moving, we bent down to   54  if he was still alive. Slowly, he uttered these five words, “Ah stee hi da flow!”, in other words, “I still hit the floor!” Poor little man!

Now Chris is fourteen and he still blames us about it. Any tree he climbs he can get down on his own and,   55  , he wants to be a fireman when he grows up.
