    In Britain today, is it possible to tell a person’s class just by looking at him? Physical details alone tell us about health, diet and the type of work a person does. A hundred years ago the working class often looked unhealthy, small and they were either too thin or too fat. The upper classes were often tall, sporting types who were used to a good diet and looked healthy. Today living and working conditions have improved, and such descriptions are no longer true. People are taller now than a hundred years ago. Everyone in Britain today is able to have free medicine, a good diet, acceptable working conditions and enough rest and leisure. WWW.K**S*858$$U.COM

           The clothes people choose to wear, however, do provide information about their backgrounds. Expensive clothes look expensive and show their wearer is rich. Clothes can provide other clues as well. The upper classes appear to be less interested in fashion and wear good quality clothes in non-bright colours, made of natural material like wool, leather and cotton. Lower working-class people often choose clothes in bright colours, made of man-made materials. A sociological explanation for this would be that colour and interest are missing from their lives, and therefore any opportunity to produce this is taken.

           Clothes are available at a price within most people’s reach. New clothes make the wearer feel good and show some degree of wealth to the outside world. Today it is the younger people who spend most money on clothes. Fashion is no longer for the upper classes and the rich. Young people from all social classes spend a lot of money on clothes. Some new fashions are started by working-class people who want to look different and feel important. They want people WWW.K**S*858$$U.COMto look at them.

    In the past, a person’s appearance could not tell other people about his ________.

          A. health              B. diet                C. occupation (职业)    D. habits

    The clothes people choose to wear tell us about their ________.

          A. education             B. richness              C. backgrounds             D. hobby

    A working-class person may start a new fashion because ________.

          A. she wants to draw the attention of other people

           B. she wants to look different and healthy

           C. she wants to show their wealth

           D. she wants to show their taste

    Which of the following statements is NOT true?

          A. Expensive clothes look expensive and show the wearer is rich.

           B. Working-class people prefer clothes in bright colours because they lack colour in their lives.

           C. Today, it is still the upper class people who spend most money on clothes.

           D. Today, fashion is no longer for the upper classes and the rich.

    Clothes play a critical part in the conclusions we reach about who people are, who they are not, and who they would like to be. They tell us a good deal about the wearer′s background, personality, status, mood, and social outlook.
    　　Since clothes are such an important source of social information, we can use them to influence people′s impression of us. Our appearance takes on particular significance in the initial phases of interaction. An elderly middle-class man or woman may be alienated (疏远) by a young adult who is dressed in an unconventional manner, regardless of the person′s education, background, or interests.
    　　People tend to agree on what certain types of clothes mean. Adolescent girls can easily agree on the lifestyles of girls who wear certain outfits (套装), including the number of boyfriends they likely have had and whether they smoke or drink. Newscasters and announcers on TV are considered to be more convincing, honest, and competent when they are dressed conservatively. College students who view themselves as taking an active role in their interpersonal relationships say the costumes they wear change the way they feel about themselves and how they act. Perhaps you have used clothing to gain confidence when you face a stressful situation, such as a job interview, or a court appearance.
    　　In the workplace, men have long had well-defined role models for achieving success. It has been otherwise for women. A good many women in the business world are uncertain about the appropriate mixture of “masculine”（男性）and “feminine”（女性）characteristics they should convey to men.
    　　Male administrators tend to judge women more favorably for managerial positions when the women display less “feminine” grooming (打扮)— shorter hair, moderate use of make-up, and plain tailored clothing. As one male administrator confessed, “An attractive woman is definitely going to get a longer interview, but she won′t get a job.”
    57. According to paragraph two, an elderly middle-class man and     unconventionally-dressed young man are unlikely to____.
    A. understand each other's lifestyle
    B. share the same background or interests
    C. influence their impressions of each other
    D. interact in a positive way
    58. The author uses the newscasters' example to show the idea that____.
    A. certain clothing gives people more confidence
    B. clothes have nothing to do with one's abilities
    C. we tend to label people by their clothes
    D. competent people always dress conventionally
    59. Men's professional clothing can best be described as "_____".
    A. conventional                B. individualistic
    C. out-of-date                 D. changeless
    60. How should professional women dress according to the passage?
    A. They must be dressed conservatively.
    B. They don't have a certain dressing style to follow.
    C. They choose either masculine or feminine clothing.
    D. They can't wear unconventional outfits.

    第三部分阅读技能 (共三节，满分35分)
    阅读理解（共12小题；每小题2分，满分24分）
    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。
    A
    For most people, the word “fashion” means “clothes”. But people may ask the question, “What clothes are in fashion?” And they use the adjective (形容词) “fashionable” in the same way: “She was wearing a fashionable color.”
    But of course there are fashions in many things, not only in clothes. There are fashions in holidays, in restaurants, in films and books. There are even fashions in school subjects, jobs…and in languages.
    Fashions change as time goes. If you look at pictures of people or things from the past, you will see that fashions have always changed. An English house of 1750 was different from his grandson in 1860.
    Today fashions change very quickly. Some of this is natural. We hear about things much more quickly than in the past. Newspapers, radios, telephones and television send information from one country to another in a few hours.
    New fashions mean that people will buy new things, so you see there is money in fashion.
    41  From this passage we know that “fashion” means _________.
    A  clothes   B  many things    C  most of the popular things    D  everything
    42  Which of the following things is fashionable today?
