阅读理解。
     It took me more than 10 years to realize that the world has no shortage of fashion (时尚) designers
who have the ability to make trendy and elegant garments, but that it is badly in need of, simply, clothes
designers. My own definitions would set fashion and clothing greatly apart. It is a fact that, in the shopping malls, there are plenty of beautiful garments whose unpredictability makes our life colorful and interesting. You are almost convinced: You can buy whatever you dare to think.
      There is no doubt that fashion designers are usually with high qualifications. They study fashion trends, select colors, and make sure the final production of their designs is done properly. However, as
experience grew with age, my attraction to arts became ever stronger. I have a strong desire for clothing
to stand as does paint to the painter, as does stone to the sculptor, as a simple and particular language of
an individual creation, which draws the audience from an appreciation of the surface to deeper thoughts
with the world of the soul. I believe that the most meaningful creative motives should arise through caring
for other people, the great care of humanity-a concern for human feeling and spirituality. This includes
love, but it is bigger than love, and it is unconditional. I believe the greatest works of art can touch the
deepest and strongest parts of human feelings and the world of the spirit, and only these works can be
the memories of history, preserving the most valuable feelings that have ever existed, and inspiring a
greater awareness of ourselves.
     I am not satisfied if people only appreciate clothing if it merely satisfies their desire. I believe clothing
could be a specific creative language for communicating ideas and thoughts, for inspiring you and shaping
your behavior. Those clothes fashioned out of necessity possess a power that can continue to exist across
the ages. This is what I have tried to achieve, the clothing to return to its original simplicity, the clothing to
help people regain the natural sense. The true fashion today should not follow the trends. It should instead uncover the extraordinary in the ordinary, for I believe the pleasure you get from the clothing is not its
price, but its spirit.
1. According to the writer, most fashion designers are ______.  
A. lack of imagination

A. a very important part of the spiritual world
B. what can be achieved through the works of hand
C. one of the most meaningful creative motivations
D. a form of concern for human feeling and spirituality
3. The writer indicates that the primitive clothes are made as a result of ______. 
A. respect for nature      
B. spiritual value
C. necessity        
D. simplicity
4. What is the main idea of the passage?

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项A、B、C和D中，选出最佳选项。

　　Future studies, also known as futurology(未来学)or foresight, involves the study of the past and present to make educated guesses about the future．The data gathered from these studies can be used to predict possible or probable future events or situations．It can also be used to design a way to reach preferable future conditions．

　　Many people believe that history is cyclical, or that certain circumstances will be seen again and again．This is the principle that future studies are based on．Searching history and present times for patterns can allow future forecasters a way to predict the future．A lot of future studies use cause and effect．For example, if a government is being unjust or is unpopular with the citizens of that country, the current government is either changed or overthrown．This has been hundreds of times throughout history, will probably be a pattern seen a hundred times more．

　　There are numerous applications for future studies．One possible application is as a way to predict future fashion and design fads(时尚)．The fashion market typically needs to work 18 months in advance, allowing the designers time to design, advertise, and manufacture the future styles．The stock market is another area where futurology is used．Determining which companies are likely to become successful, and which ones are heading for bancruptcy, requires the ability to use future studies correctly．

　　Some say that future studies can not predict long-term events and trends in the way that it could a decade ago．Global changes in technology, communication, and marketing have resulted in scenarios(情况)that no one could have predicted．Change is happening at a faster pace than ever before in history．It will be difficult to foresee future trends because of these changes．New future studies professionals will need to be able to consider these new trends carefully before creating their predictions．
