The following symbols have appeared on clothes labels for four decades, each one chosen by international experts for its simplicity and clarity.
Yet for most people, washing instructions might as well be written in Martian.
According to a new poll, nine in ten people are unable to decipher common symbols used on clothes labels. Even those who have mastered the difference between a wool and a synthetics(化学合成物)wash admit being baffled by the confusing array(排列)of boxes, circles and crosses used to give advice about drying and bleaching(漂白).
The findings come from a poll of 2,000 people carried out by YouGov for Morphy Richards. A third of people surveyed said that they recognized none of the several symbols shown, while the only symbol recognized by more than half of people was the iron with a single dot. Around 70 per cent knew it meant "iron on a low heat". Just 10 per cent sign knew the sign for "do not dry clean", while only 12 per cent were familiar with "drip dry only".
Despite the sexual revolution, women are still more knowledgeable than men. Awareness was highest among 18 to 29-year-old women---for whom taking care of clothes is clearly important.
Chris Lever, from Morphy Richards, said: "Clothes Care symbols are a unique language, clearly a language that few people in the UK have taken the time to learn."
"Learning the basics such as which icon represents tumble dry and which represents normal wash would go a long way to getting the best out of clothes."
The Home Laundering Consultative Council said it was not surprised to learn that people were unfamiliar with them.
"It's disappointing that there is a lack of recognition, but it's a story that's repeated time and time again," said a spokesman, Adam Mansell. "We are a small organization and we don't have a big budget."






60. Women know more about these common symbols than men, because _________.
A. women have the gift of recognizing these symbols by nature
B. women pay more attention to taking care of clothes in their daily life
C. women have much time to know about these symbols
D. women take advantage of the sexual revolution
61. Which of the following can be recognized by the majority of people?
                       
A              B                 C              D
62. Which of the following statements is NOT correct?
A. Washing clothes is damaging them if we don’t know about some symbols used on clothes labels.
B. Washing clothes is also a cultured knowledge.
C. More and more people devote much time to studying these symbols used on clothes labels.
D. Clothes Care symbols are a unique language, which few people spend time to learn.

第三部分:阅读理解(共12小题;每小题2分,满分24分)

请认真阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

Few people realize that there is a big difference between formal English and informal English. Formal English is used for most writing, and often in public speaking and formal meetings. It pays close attention to grammar rules, because if we use proper grammar, our meaning is often more precise. Also, on important occasions, we do not want to appear uneducated or to offend (冒犯) others, so we are very careful about how we speak. Informal English is used in speaking or writing to our friends and family. It often does not pay such close attention to grammar rules, because when we speak or write to them, we want our words to flow quickly. Also, with our friends and family, we are usually not so worried about appearing uneducated or about offending them by how we write or speak.

  A big difference between formal and informal English is the use of contractions. A contraction is where we make a word shorter or where we put two words together and take away some of the letters. For example, instead of saying “do not”, many people say “don’t”. Using contractions in our speech is fine because it sounds natural, especially when we speak to our friends. In formal writing, however, contractions are usually avoided because people might think that you have made a mistake, or that you do not know proper grammar.

  In the same way we might make words shorter, in informal English we often make sentences shorter as well. For example, if someone asks you your name, you will likely answer with one word: your first name. However, in formal English we usually use complete sentences. For example, we might write “My name is John”. In most speaking, we may not need to use every word in a sentence because the person we are speaking to will probably still understand us. In most writing, however, every word in a sentence must be written out in order to make sure that we can be understood.

56. When we use formal English, _______.

         A. we will offend others 

B. we will appear educated on important occasions

         C. we needn’t pay more attention to grammar rules

         D. we can express ourselves more directly and more quickly

57. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “precise”?

         A. simple                    B. direct                     C. puzzling                 D. clear

58. Contractions are best used when we are _______.

         A. speaking at a formal meeting                        B. speaking to our friends

         C. speaking in public                                              D. writing an application (申请) letter

59. In speaking, we do not always use complete sentences because ______.

         A. we do not care about grammar                    B. we do not want to sound stupid

         C. we can still be understood                              D. we don’t want to waste time
