    Do people in your country hug in the street? In some countries, it is common for people to show affection(亲密) in public places. In the United States, for example, we often see couples hold hands, hug and kiss on the street, in the park, in the restaurant and even on trains and buses. But in some other countries, people never show affection in public places because their customs don’t permit this, for example, in Korea and China. So, when Korean and Chinese people visit the United States, they sometimes feel very surprised when they see Americans hug and kiss on the street.
    In some countries, friends show physical affection to each other. In some South American countries, female friends walk arm in arm when they walk along the street together. In Italy and Russia, male friends often kiss each other on both cheeks when they greet. In most countries, men don’t kiss or hug when they greet each other. They usually shake hands or pat each other on the back. People around the world are different in the amount, manner and situation in which they touch each other.
    67. The main idea of this passage is ____.
    A. the custom in Korea and China are exactly the same.
    B. Koreans and Americans can never understand each other.
    C. South Americans are more friendly than North Americans
    D. Different countries permit different amounts of touching in public
    68. Chinese and Korean feel surprised to see Americans hug and kiss on the street because ____.
    A. they never hug or kiss
    B. they themselves are polite
    C. their own customs don’t permit such conduct
    D. kissing each other is not allowed on the street
    69. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
    A. Chinese people often kiss on the street. 
    B. In all countries public affection is permitted.
    C. In many countries, men shake hands when they greet each other.
    D. The Americans are not as polite as people in other countries.
    70. From the passage we can guess____.
    A. Korean people often kiss and hug on American streets
    B. People all over the world like to kiss their friends
    C. Americans like to kiss and hug Korean people on the street
    D. It may be strange to Americans to see two men kiss on both cheeks.

    People with disabilities make up a large part of the population. It is estimated that over 35 million Americans have physical, mental, or other disabilities. About half of these disabilities are “developmental", i.e., they occur before the individual's twenty-second birthday, often from genetic conditions, and are severe enough to affect three or more areas of development, such as mobility, communication, employment, etc. Most other disabilities are considered “adventitious", i.e., accidental or caused by outside forces.
    Prior to the 20th century, only a small percentage of people with disabilities survived for long. Medical treatment for these disabilities was unavailable. Advancements in medicine and social services have created a climate in which people with disabilities can expect to have such basic needs as food, shelter, and medical treatment. Unfortunately, these basics are often not available. Civil liberties such as the right to vote, marry, get an education, and gain employment have historically been denied on the basis of disability.
    In recent decades, the disability rights movement has been organized to fight against these infringements（违反；侵犯）of civil rights. Congress responded by passing major legislation recognizing people with disabilities as a protected class under civil rights statutes.
    Still today, people with disabilities must fight to live their lives independently. It is estimated that more than half of qualified Americans with disabilities are unemployed, and a majority of those who do work are underemployed. About two-thirds live at or below the official poverty level.
    Significant barriers, especially in transportation and public awareness, prevent disabled people from taking part in society. For example, while no longer prohibited by law from marrying, a person with no access to transportation is effectively excluded from community and social activities which might lead to the development of long-term relationships.
    Only when public attitudes advance as far as laws have will disabled people be fully able to take their rightful place in society.
    36. A “developmental" disability ______.
    A. develops very slowly over time
    B. is caused by forces
    C. occurs in youth and affects development
    D. is getting more and more severe
    37．Most disabled people used to die early because ______.
    A. disabilities destroyed major bodily functions
    B. they were not very well looked after
    C. medical techniques were not available
    D. they were too poor to get proper treatment
    38. In the author's opinion, to enable the disabled people to take their rightful place in society, ______.
    A．more laws should be passed
    B．public attitudes should be changed
    C．government should provide more aids
    D．more public facilities should be set up
    39. Which of the following cannot be inferred（推断）from the passage ?
    A．Many disabled people may remain single for their whole life.
    B．The public tends to look down upon the disabled people.
    C．The disabled people feel inferior to those surrounding them.
    D．  Discriminatory laws prevent the disabled from mixing with others.
    40. The best title for this passage might be ______.
    A．Handicaps（不利条件；障碍；）of People with Disabilities
    B．The physical difficulties of the Disabled
    C．The Causes for Disabilities
    D．Medical Treatments for Disabilities

    If women are mercilessly exploited(剥削) year after year,they have only themselves to blame.Because they tremble at the thought of being seen in public in clothes that are out of fashion,they are always taken advantage of by the designers and the big stores.Clothes which have been worn only a few times have to be put aside because of the change of fashion.When you come to think of it,only a woman is capable of standing in front of a wardrobe(衣柜) packed full of clothes and announcing sadly that she has nothing to wear.
    Changing fashions are nothing more than the intentional creation of waste.Many women spend vast sums of money each year to replace clothes that have hardly been worn.Women who cannot afford to throw away clothing in this way,waste hours of their time altering the dresses they have.Skirts are lengthened or shortened;neck-lines are lowered or raised,and so on.No one can claim that the fashion industry contributes anything really important to society.Fashion designers are rarely concerned with vital things like warmth,comfort and durability(耐用).They are only interested in outward appearance and they take advantage of the fact that women will put up with any amount of discomfort,as long as they look right.There can hardly be a man who hasn’t at some time in his life smiled at the sight of a woman shaking in a thin dress on a winter day,or delicately picking her way through deep snow in high-heeled shoes.
    When comparing men and women in the matter of fashion,the conclusions to be drawn are obvious.Do the constantly changing fashions of women’s clothes,one wonders,reflect basic qualities of inconstancy and instability?Men are too clever to let themselves be cheated by fashion designers.Do their unchanging styles of dress reflect basic qualities of stability and reliability?That is for you to decide.
    小题1:Designers and big stores always make money        .
    A．by mercilessly exploiting women workers in the clothing industry
    B．because they are capable of predicting new fashions
    C．by constantly changing the fashions in women’s clothing
    D．because they attach great importance to quality in women’s clothing
    小题2:To the writer,the fact that women change their old-fashioned dresses is seen as        .
    A．a waste of money
    B．a waste of time
    C．an expression of taste
    D．an expression of creativity
    小题3:The writer would be less critical if fashion designers placed more stress on the     of clothing.
    A．costB．appearance
    C．comfortD．suitability
    小题4:According to the passage,which of the following statements is TRUE?
    A．New fashions in clothing are created for the commercial exploitation of women.
    B．The constant changes in women’s clothing reflect their strength of character.
    C．The fashion industry makes an important contribution to society.
    D．Fashion designs should not be encouraged since they are only welcomed by women.

    In 1956 Phoenix, Arizona, was a city with boundless blue skies.

I took him into the backyard, and then, to my 17______, Perky flew off. The enormous（巨大的）, blue sky swallowed up my sister’s blue  treasure and suddenly he had gone, clipped wings and all.
    Kathy managed to forgive me. With fake optimism（乐观）, she even tried to reassure （安慰）me that Perky would find a new  18 ______. But I was far too clever to 19______ that such a thing was possible.

    Well before the 15th century, an Anglo-Saxon custom required that a prospective bridegroom break some highly valued personal belonging. Half of the broken token was held by the father of the bride and the other half by the groom. A wealthy man was expected to split a piece of gold or silver.
    The earliest engagement rings were also used as wedding rings, serving to seal an act of sale which transformed ownership of a daughter from father to husband. Such rings were usually of solid gold to prove the groom’s worth.
    For Roman Catholics, the engagement ring became a required statement of Nuptial intent（结婚意向）, as decreed by Pope Nicholas I in 860 A.D. The engagement ring was to be of valued metal, preferably gold, which for the husband-to-be represented a financial sacrifice.
    Signifying enduring love, and chosen for its durability, the diamond was chosen for the engagement ring. The diamond’s fire is also associated with “love’s clear flame,” given by Medieval Italians because of their belief that the diamond was created from the flames of love.
    The Venetians were the first to discover that the diamond is one of the hardest, most enduring substances in nature, and fine cutting and polishing releases the brilliance. Rarity and cost limited their rapid proliferation（急增） throughout Europe but their intrinsic（内在的） appeal guaranteed them a future. By the 17th century, the diamond ring had become the most sought after statement of European engagement.　　
    1. Who kept the two halves of the engagement rings before marriage?
    A. The bride’s father and the bridegroom’s mother.
    B. The bride’s mother and the bridegroom.
    C. The bride and the bridegroom.
    D. The bridegroom and the bride’s father,
    2. What’s TRUE about the early Anglo-Saxon custom before the 15th century ?
    A. A will-be bridegroom should beat all his valuable belongings.
    B. Every will-be bride should split a piece of gold.
    C. The engagement rings were also used to prove the groom’s worth.
    D. A rich bride should break one of her most valuable personal belongs.
    3. Pope Nicholas made the engagement ring a required statement of nuptial intent ______.
    A. in the 15th century           B. over 1,000 years ago
    C .in the 1860s                D. by the 17th century
    4. What kind of engagement ring has been the most popular one in Europe ?
    A. Rings made of gold         B. Rings made of silver
    C. Rings made of diamond       D. Rings made of an unknown substance in nature.

    The January fashion show, called FutureFashion, exemplified how far green design has come．Organized by the New York-based nonprofit Earth Pledge, the show inspired many top designers to work with sustainable fabrics for the first time．Several have since made pledges to include organic fabrics in their lines.
    The designers who undertake green fashion still face many challenges．Scott Hahn, cofounder with Gregory of Rogan and Loomstate, which uses all-organic cotton, says high-quality sustainable materials can still be tough to find．“Most designers with existing labels are finding there aren’t comparable fabrics that can just replace what you’re doing and what your customers are used to,” he says．For example, organic cotton and non-organic cotton are virtually indistinguishable once put into a dress．But some popular synthetics, like stretch nylon, still have few eco-friendly equivalents.
    Those who do make the switch are finding they have more support．Last year the influential trade show Designers & Agents stopped charging its participation fee for young green entrepreneurs（企业家） who attend its two springtime shows in Los Angeles and New York and gave special recognition to designers whose collections are at least 25% sustainable．It now counts more than 50 green designers, up from fewer than a dozen two years ago．This week Wal-Mart is set to announce a major initiative aimed at helping cotton farmers go organic: it will buy transitional cotton at higher prices, thus helping to expand the supply of a key sustainable material．“Mainstream is about to occur,” says Hahn.
    Some analysts are less sure．Among consumers, only 18% are even aware that ecofashion exists, up from 6% four years ago．Natalie Hormilla, a fashion writer, is an example of the unconverted consumer．When asked if she owned any sustainable clothes, she replied: “Not that I’m aware of.” Like most consumers, she finds little time to shop, and when she does, she’s on the hunt for “cute stuff that isn’t too expensive.” By her own admission, green just isn’t yet on her mind．But—thanks to the combined efforts of designers, retailers and suppliers—one day it will be.
    67．What is said about FutureFashion?
    A．It inspired many leading designers to start going green.
    B．It showed that designers using organic fabrics would go far.
    C．It served as an example of how fashion shows should be organized.
    D．It convinced the public that fashionable clothes should be made durable.
    68．According to Scott Hahn, one big challenge to designers who will go organic is that        .
    A．much more time is needed to finish a dress using sustainable materials
    B．they have to create new brands for clothes made of organic materials
    C．customers have difficulty telling organic from non-organic materials
    D．quality organic replacements for synthetics are not readily available
    69．What is Natalie Hormilla’s attitude toward ecofashion?
    A．She is doubtful of its practical value.     B．She doesn’t think it is sustainable.
    C．She doesn’t seem to care about it.   D．She is very much opposed to the idea.
    70．What does the author think of green fashion?
    A．Green products will soon go mainstream．
    B．It has a very promising future.
    C．Consumers have the final say.         
    D．It will appeal more to young people.
