2．Women have jumped ahead of men for the first time in using the Internet to do their holiday shopping，according to a study published last week in the US．
For years men have been more likely to shop on the Internet than women，but during the 2004holiday season 58percent of those making online purchases were women．
"It shows what a mainstream the Internet is becoming"，said Lee Rainie，director of the Pew Internet and American Life Project group，which carried out the study．
Rainie said it was only a matter of time before women shoppers caught up with men．This is because women traditionally make decisions about spending．
Users were more likely to shop online to save time．Internet users between the ages of 18and 29were responsible for some of the most dramatic（显著的）increases in the online gift-buying population this time around．
However，three-quarters of the US Internet users did not buy holiday gifts online in 2004．They worried about credit card security，or just compared online prices with off-line prices，and then dashed off to the shops to get the best deals．
"But even if shoppers don't buy online，websites are becoming promotion tools for stores，"said Dan Hess，vice president of Comscore Networks Inc．Hess said that actually most stores'websites can make customers fully believe the security of their credit card numbers．And most are able to ensure that gifts arrive on time．
"It's all about making the shopping experience more efficient，more reliable and more comfortable，"said Hess．

4．A  细节理解题．根据文章第二段"For years men have been more likely to shop on the Internet than women，but during the 2004 holiday season 58 percent of those making online purchases were women"可知在2004年百分之58的网上购物的人是女性，超过了男性．故答案A正确．根据"Internet users between the ages of 18 and 29 were responsible for some of the most dramatic（显著的）increases in the online gift-buying population this time around．"可知B不正确．根据"Users were more likely to shop online to save time"可知"用户更倾向于网上购物节省时间"，故可排除C．根据"However，three-quarters of the US Internet users did not buy holiday gifts online in 2004．然而，四分之三的美国网民没有在2004购买网上购物礼物"，故可排除D．
5．D  推理判断题．根据文章第4段"This is because women traditionally make decisions about spending．"可知通常在家庭里做购物决定的都是妈妈．故答案D正确．
6．C 细节理解题．根据文章最后一段的"And most are able to ensure that gifts arrive on time．It's all about making the shopping experience more efficient，more reliable and more comfortable绝大多数都能够确保礼物准时到达．这一切都使购物体验更有效率，更可靠和更舒适"可知答案选C．

点评 政治类文章多采用记叙文形式，我们可采取"顺读法"，以便抓关键语句，领会文章主旨；而经济类文章则多采用说明文形式，我们则可以采取"逆读法"，先读试题，再从文章中查找有用信息．

17．Most of the time，people wear hats to protect themselves from harsh weather conditions．Hats are also worn to show politeness and as signs of social position．But nowadays，hats，especially women's hats，are much more than that．More exactly，hats have changed into fashion and style symbols by many movie stars．What's more，people now consider many different features （特点）when choosing even a simple hat．Many designers point out that，when choosing the right hat，it's important to consider the color of your skin as well as your hair，your height，and the shape of your face．

First of all，the color of the hat should match the color of your skin and hair．For instance，black hats should be avoided if you are dark skinned．If a purple hat is placed on top of red hair，one will look as attractive as a summer flower．Second，the height of the hat is also an important point．Tall women should not go for hats with tall crowns，just as short women should choose hats with upturned brims to give the look of height．Third，and most importantly，the shape of the face decides the kind of hat one should pick．A small，gentle hat that fits the head looks good on a small face．However，women with big，round faces should choose a different style．

As the saying goes，"Fine feathers make fine birds．"A good hat can not only help your dress but also support your features，so why not choose the best possible one next time you want to be in public？
