题目内容

【题目】They wear the latest fashions with the most up-to-date accessories(配饰)．Yet these are not girls in their teens or twenties but women in their sixties and seventies．A generation which would once only wear old-fashioned clothes is now favoring the same high street looks worn by those half their age．

Professor Julia Twiggy, a social policy expert，said，“Women over 75 are now shopping for clothes more requently than they did when they were young in the 1960s．In the 1960s buying a coat for a woman was a serious matter．It was an expensive item that they would purchase only every three or four years—now you can pick one up at the supermarket whenever you wish to．Fashion is a lot cheaper and people get tired of things more quickly．” Professor Twiggy analyzed family expending data and found that while the percentage of spending on clothes and shoes by women had stayed around the same—about 5 or 6 percent of spending，the amount of clothes bought had risen sharply．

The professor said，“Clothes are now 70 percent cheaper than they were in the 1960s because of the huge expansion of production in the Far East．In the 1960s Leeds was the heart of the British fashion industry and that was where most of the clothes came from，but now almost all of our clothes are sourced elsewhere．Everyone is buying more clothes but in general we are not spending more money on them．’’

Fashion designer Angela Barnard，who runs her own fashion business in London，said older women were much more affected by celebrity style than in previous yers．She said,“When people see stars such as Judi Dench and Helen Mirren looking attractive and fashionable in their sixties，they want to follow them．Older women are much more aware of celebrities．There’s also the boom in TV programmers showing people how they can change their look，and many of my older customers do yoga to stay in shape well in their fifties．When I started my business a few years ago，my older customers tended to be very rich，but now they are what I would call ordinary women. My own mother is 6l and she wears the latest fashions in a way she would never have done ten years ago．”

【1】It can be concluded that old women tend to wear the latest fashions today mainly because___________．

A．they get tired of themselves more quickly

B．TV shows teach them how to stay in shape

C. they feel much younger now

D．clothes are much cheaper than before

【2】What can we learn about old women in terms of fashion?

A．They are often ignored by fashion designers．

B．They are now mole easily influenced by stars．

C．They are regarded as pioneers in the latest fashion．

D．They are more interested in clothes because of their old age．

【3】Which is the best possible title of the passage?

A．Age Is No Barrier for Fashion Fans．

B．The More Fashionable，the Less Expensive．

C．Unexpected changes in Fashion．

D．Boom of the British Fashion Industry

【答案】

【1】D

【2】B

【3】A

【解析】

试题分析：全文讲述女性生活的一个新变化：随着社会的发展，在追逐时尚的主力军中，活跃着六七十岁的女性。

【1】D推理判断题。关于本文所谈论的现象：六七十岁的老人青睐时装，文章提到的原因有：在60年代，服装价格昂贵，每三四年才能买一件，而如今的时装更便宜。由此判断D项正确。从第二段最后一句可知A项不是针对老年女性说的；最后一段说，电视节目教育她们如何改变自己的观点，很多老年妇女学瑜伽来保持形体美，但B、C两项都不是“主要原因”。答案：D

【2】B推理判断题。最后一段开头说，“当人们看见像Judi Dench和Helen Mirren这样的明星在60多岁依然穿的时尚，魅力十足，他们就想模仿这些人，而且老年妇女对名人效应更感兴趣”，由此推断B项正确.老年妇女更容易受到明星的影响。A.项意为“她们常被时装设计师忽视”，C项意为“她们被视为最新时尚的先锋”，D项意为“因为她们年纪大了才对时装感兴趣”，都不符合该段及文章的叙述。 答案：B

【3】A主旨大意题。全文讲述女性生活的一个新变化：随着社会的发展，在追逐时尚的主力军中，活跃着六七十岁的女性。随后作者分析其中的原因。全文围绕老年妇女追逐时尚展开，因此本文的标题应该是A项。B项意为“越时尚的东西越不贵”；C项意为“时装界出乎意料的变化”；D项意为“英国时装界的繁荣”，都不能作为全的标题。考生在推理判断题类型中出错的主要原因是没有依据文章的细节展开合理推断，而是根据想当然或一知半解的常识做出选择，导致误选失分。答案：A

I just come back from Britain last week. I was luckily enough to be one of the student from different countries to visit the UK from Feb.16 to 28. We paid a visit to many places, like London, Oxford or the Lake District. I learned much about British culture and history in London, where was my favorite. I also liked Oxford, in which I saw much more old buildings. The Lake District was beautiful, but it was pity that it rained heavily when they were there. The most excited thing for me in the Britain was that I made a lot of friends there.

【题目】China is home to the invention of silk and has a long tradition of producing fine materials for clothing. Not all clothing in ancient or contemporary（ 当代的） China is made of silk, however. In fact, silk was only available to the wealthy classes（阶级） for much of China's history. Until the introduction of cotton during the Ming Dynasty, from the 14th to the 17th century, the poorer classes wore rough clothing made from fibers (纤维).

In ancient China, the tunic（无袖长袍）was particularly popular . Called hanfu（汉服）, both men and women could be seen wearing tunics made of different materials. Women's tunics were long and loose（宽松的）, extending all the way down to their feet and often cinched with a belt or rope to get tighter（紧）. Men's tunics were shorter, usually only extending down to their knees. During the winter, both men and women would wear cotton jackets for warmth. In the winter, men would also wear pants (裤子) or ankle-length skirts into their clothes to keep warm and protect their legs against the cold winter conditions.

Contemporary Chinese clothing is now made of many of the same materials as contemporary clothing found in other countries. Much of the traditional Chinese clothing produced now is made of cotton and silk, but generally contemporary Chinese clothing also contains synthetic (合成的) fibers in with the cotton and silk, such as nylon (尼龙). In addition, linen (亚麻布) is now commonly used in contemporary Chinese clothing, especially during the summer months because it is light and breathable.

【1】In ancient China, only wealthy people could afford clothes made from______.

A. silk B. fiber C. cotton D. linen

【2】Which of the following about hanfu（汉服） is mentioned in the text?

A. It was made from only one material.

B. Men's hanfu was shorter than women's.

C. People didn't wear it until the Ming Dynasty.

D. It was warm enough to help people against cold in the winter.

【3】The underlined word "cinched" in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to "___".

A. 悬挂 B. 插入 C. 装饰 D. 拴，绑

【4】What can we know from the text?

A. Linen is only used to make Chinese summer clothing.

B. Nylon was one material for ancient Chinese clothing.

C. Lots of contemporary Chinese clothing is made from synthetic fibers.

D. The materials for contemporary Chinese clothing are produced by other countries.

You may like reading novels for fun．But you need to get【1】 (organize)if you are reading a novel for schoo1．Here 【2】 (be)a few tips．

First，pay attention to characters. What do they do in the novel? What do they want? Everything 【3】 is about a character can help us to understand him，from his 【4】 (appear)to the kind of food he eats．

Besides，the order of the story and the plot are 【5】 (equal)important．Make sure that as you read，you make 【6】 quick note of what happens in each chapter．This will help you bring the things you have noticed about the character，setting，language and so on together．It's also an enormous help for you to retell the story after you have read it．

Next，themes．They are ideas that a novel explores．【7】 is a must to get the hang of the theme if you want to fully appreciate the novel．Perhaps love is a major theme，or justice，or 【8】 (survive)．

Furthermore，novels are made up 【9】 language．Writers use language in a special way【10】 (make)their novels work．They may use metaphors，invent symbols，or show different characters’personalities through their speech styles．

【题目】Think of life as a game in which you are playing with five balls in the air. You name them work, family, health, friends and spirit (精神) and you keep all of them in the air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce (弹跳) back.

But the other four balls, family, health, friends and spirit, are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be broken. They will never be the same. You must understand that and try to have balance in your life. How?

Don’t look down on your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different and each of us is special.

Don’t let other people set goal for you. Only you know what is best for yourself.

Don’t give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.

Don’t be afraid of difficulties. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.

Don’t shut love out of your life by saying it’s impossible. The quickest way to receive love is to give it; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly (紧紧地); the best way to keep love is to give it wings（翅膀).

Don’t run through life so fast that you forget not only where you’ve been, but also where you are going.

Don’t be afraid to learn. Knowledge is a treasure you can always carry easily.

Don’t use time or words carelessly. You can’t get them back. Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, and today is a gift; that’s why we call it “the present”. Life is not a competition, but a trip, step by step.

【2】Why can’t we use time carelessly? ___________

A. Because time never returns.

A. lose your own treasure that you can always carry easily

B. lose love by holding it too tightly

C. forget not only where you’ve been, but also where you are going

D. not be afraid of the difficulties

【4】According to the passage, which is the best title? ___________

A. Nothing is impossible.
