辽宁省昌图县2016高考英语二轮阅读理解练习（3）阅读理解-a the practice of swapping fashions has recently been attracting attention worldwide, particularly in europe and the united states. this is an activity aimed at making more effective use of resources by providing a platform for people to exchange free of charge those fashion items in their closets that they dont use anymore. in london, fashion swap events sponsored by the credit card company visa focus on the swapping of specific brands. japans first major fashion swap event, “xchange,” was held in september 2007 in tokyo. the xchange event is designed to exchange not only fishing items but also information and feelings from the owners of the clothes, using what is called an “episode tag.” participants put tags on each of the items they bring and write their name and a bride episode about the items.for example, a tag of a white jacket read, “this is a gift from a friend, but its just not my style.” on a tag attached to a pair of red shoes, a person wrote. “these dont fit me anymore. i hope someone who loves red can use them.” just as shoppers check price tags, some people check the episode tags before making a selection, imagining who used to wear the item. the episode tags make people aware of the human connection by exchanging goods. many participants say things like, “im very lucky to get such lovely clothes for free,” and “i was happy to see someone try on and choose what i brought here.” unwanted clothes for one person can be new and exciting for someone else. besides, xchange achieves close to a 100-percent reuse rate by donating leftover clothes to companies that reuse or recycle secondhand clothing. anything they cannot use, they then donate to developing countries or reuse them as rags. since 2007, the xchange event has been held every two or three months in a different region of japan, always attracting many participants. this success is probably because it is an active event that gives participants opportunities to enjoy fashion without increasing the impact on the environment. 1. whats the main purpose of the fashion exchange?a. to attract peoples attention. b. to make good use of resources.c. to get rid of unwanted clothes. d. to try to avoid buying new clothes. 答案解析：答案为b。 本题为细节题。由第一段第二句话 “this is an activity aimed at making more effective use of resources by”可知，答案为b。2. what is special about an episode

asks a question, there is only one correct answer. but there is one question that has millions of current answers. that question is “whats your name?” everyone gives a different answer, but everyone is correct.have you ever wondered about peoples names? where do they come from? what do they mean?peoples first names, or given names, are chosen by their parents. sometimes the name of a grandparent or other member of the family is used. some parents choose the name of a well-known person. a boy could be named george washington smith; a girl could be named helen keller jones.some people give their children names that mean good things. clara means “bright”; beatrice means “one who gives happiness”; donald means “world ruler”; leonard means “as brave as a lion”.the earliest last names, or surnames, were taken from place names. a family with the name brook or brooks probably lived near brook(小溪)；someone who was called longstreet probably lived on a long, paved road. the greenwood family lived in or near a leafy forest.other early surnames came from peoples occupations. the most common occupational name is smith, which means a person who makes things with iron or other metals. in the past, smiths were very important workers in every town and village. some other occupational names are: carter a person who owned or drove a cart; potter a person who made pots and pans.the ancestors of the baker family probably baked bread for their neighbors in their native village. the carpenters great-great-great-grandfather probably built houses and furniture.sometimes people were known for

the john was very tall could call himself john tallman. john fish was probably an excellent swimmer and john lightfoot was probably a fast runner or a good dancer.some family names were made by adding something to the fathers name. english-speaking people added s or son. the johnsons are descendants of john; the roberts familys ancestor was robert. irish and scottish people added mac or mc or o. perhaps all of the macdonnells and the macdonnells and the odonnells are descendants of the same donnell.( ) 1. which of the following aspects do the surnames in the passage not cover?a. places where

can be accomplished with the medium of visual story-telling. im not sure exactly where this interest of mine came from. i do know that as a child, comic books allowed me to improve my reading skills. “the mighty thor helped me develop an interest in old legends, and “challengers of the unknown got me crazy about science fiction. the combination of words and pictures was a perfect springboard for my childhood imagination. how does one learn to appreciate comic book art? there is a classic example that sheds quite a bit of light on the subject. writer scott macloud just explains what makes a comic book stand out in his best selling book understanding comics. the book, first published in 1994, has been translated into 13 languages and is practically a bible for students studying graphic illustration (图示说明) in novels. on the internet there are some cool comic book sites to be foundhundreds and hundreds of them as a matter of fact. more than a few are dedicated to super heroes and the like. but there are some choice sites that i would visit, because they provide some great resources that discuss the comic book as an art form. noteworthy among them is a great article and interview at www. rcharvey. corn, which discusses the impact of several artists and writers in the field. i have a huge admiration for anyone who can produce comic stories that can make readers think, laugh and cry. maybe make them dream. check it out. spend two dollars on a comic book and read it with your children. or better yet, search out some of the more “adult tides and read it for yourself. you may find yourself enjoying what you see and read.
