1.Nikola Tesla was a great inventor,engineer,and physicist.He is best known for his contribution to
the design of the modern alternating current (AC)(交流电) electricity supply system.
Tesla started working in the electrical fields before he came to work for Thomas Edison in the United
States in 1884.However,he soon made up his mind to set up his own labs and companies so as to carry on
further study of a range of electrical devices.His AC induction motor(交流感应电动机) was given a
patent by George Westinghouse,who also hired Telsa as an expert to help develop a power system using
alternating current.
Tesla's achievements and his abilities to demonstrate his great inventions made him famous all over
the world.Although he made a large sum of money from his patents,he spent a great deal on various
experiments over the years.In the last few decades of his life,he ended up living in the limited place-
Room 3327of the New York Hotel,occasionally making unusual statements to the press.Because of such
kind of statements and the nature of his work over the years,Tesla gained a fame as"mad scientist".He
died in debt on January 7,1943.
Tesla's work became less and less known to the public after his death,but since the 1990s,his fame
has come back in popular culture.In 2005,he was listed as the top"100Greatest Americans".His work
and great inventions are also at the center of other theories and have also been used to support various
UFO theories and so on.In 1960,in honor of Tesla,the"tesla"was used in the SI unit(国际标准单
位)measure for magnetic field strength.

18.If women are mercilessly exploited year after year,they have only themselves to blame.Because they tremble at the thought of being seen in public in clothes that are out of fashion,they are always taken advantage of by the designers and the big stores.Clothes which have been worn only a few times have to be put aside because of the change of fashion.When you come to think of it,only a woman is capable of standing in front of a wardrobe(衣柜) packed full of clothes and announcing sadly that she has nothing to wear.
Changing fashions are nothing more than the intentional creation of waste.Many women spend vast sums of money each year to replace clothes that have hardly been worn.Women who cannot afford to throw away clothing in this way,waste hours of their time altering the dresses they have.Skirts are lengthened or shortened; necklines are lowered or raised,and so on.
No one can claim that the fashion industry contributes anything really important to society.Fashion designers are rarely concerned with vital things like warmth,comfort and durability(耐用).They are only interested in outward appearance and they take advantage of the fact that women will put up with any amount of discomfort,as long as they look right.There can hardly be a man who hasn't at some time in his life smiled at the sight of a woman shaking in a thin dress on a winter day,or delicately picking her way through deep snow in high-heeled shoes.
When comparing men and women in the matter of fashion,the conclusions to be drawn are obvious.Do the constantly changing fashions of women's clothes,one wonders,reflect basic qualities of inconstancy and instability?Men are too clever to let themselves be cheated by fashion designers.Do their unchanging styles of dress reflect basic qualities of stability and reliability?That is for you to decide.
21.To the writer,the fact that women alter their old-fashioned dresses is seen asB.
A.a waste of money          
B.a waste of time
C.an expression of taste       
D.an expression of creativity
22.The writer would be less critical if fashion designers placed more stress on theC of clothing.
A.cost     
B.appearance     
C.comfort       
D.suitability
23.According to the passage,which of the following statements is TRUE?A
A.New fashions in clothing are created for the commercial exploitation of women.
B.The constant changes in women's clothing reflect their strength of character.
C.The fashion industry makes an important contribution to society.
D.Fashion designs should not be encouraged since they are only welcomed by women.
24.By saying"the conclusions to be drawn are obvious"the writer means thatD.
A.women's inconstancy in their choice of clothing is often laughed at
B.women are better able to put up with discomfort
C.men are also exploited greatly by fashion designers
D.men are more stable and reliable in character.
