to provide protection from cold. it is also worn to prevent others from seeing specific parts of ones body. however, the parts of the body that must be covered vary widely throughout the world. some

dress differently for business and various leisure activities. north american women usually are much more knowledgeable of little difference in messages communicated by clothes than men. at times, this leads to silly mistakes of understanding of female intentions on the part of men. of course, clothing styles also are intended to communicate messages to members of the same gender. long before we are near enough to talk to someone, their appearance tells their gender, age, economic class, and often even intentions. we begin to recognize the important cultural clues at an early age. the vocabulary of dress that we learn includes not only items of clothing but also hairstyles, jewelry, and other body decoration. in most cultures, however, the same style of dress communicates different messages depending on the age, gender, and physical appearance of the individual wearing it. putting on certain types of clothing can change your behavior and the behavior of others towards you. this can be the case with a doctors white lab coat, or an army uniform. most uniforms are clearly symbolic so that they can rapidly and unmistakably communicate status. for instance, the strange hairstyle and clothing of the english “punks” are essential aspects of their uniforms. 24. which of the following is the best title for this passage?a. clothing and culture. b. ways of sending message.c.

从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。helicopter parenting is an expression that describes parents who are over focused on their child, like a helicopter hovering ( 盘旋 ) closely over him, whether he needs them or not._36_ as family sizes are getting smaller, more attention is focused on the one or two children and some parents have responded by taking more control over their lives. also, many parents are making an attempt to develop close bonds with their children, often being overly involved in their lives. also, some parents always fear that their children may fail in what they want to achieve, so they try to prevent the serious consequence, especially if it seems it could be avoided with parental involvement. sometimes the practice continues to spread due to what is called “peer (同龄人) pressure”. when parents observe other parents overparenting, it will pressure them to do the same to make sure that their own children dont fall behind. _37_ for example, by always “doing” for the child, the hovering parents dont give the child a chance to fully develop his sense of independence. as a result, the child may lack the confidence necessary to do well in school. as an adult, he might find it difficult to deal with lifes challenges. _38_ research has shown that helicopter parents have more anxiety because they constantly judge their own value by their childrens success._39_ experts suggest that you should let your child do tasks that he is physically and mentally capable of doing by himself, which will help to build a self-confident kid. _40_ gradually, your child will learn independence as he steps out on his own. meanwhile, valuable lessons can occur when making mistakes. so if your child is allowed to make mistakes, hes given the opportunity to learn from those lessons. a. so how can you avoid being a helicopter parent?b. there are a number of reasons for helicopter parenting.c. there may be various consequences of helicopter parenting.d. the term “helicopter parents” has been widely used in the media.e. this parenting style also affects the parents.f. it is also important to let your child struggle while trying new activities.g. some parents are just protecting their investment or acting like any other consumer. 第三部分: 英语知识运用 （共三节， 满分 45 分）第一节 完型填空（共20小题； 每小题1.5分， 满分30分） 阅读下面短文,从短文后所给的四个选项(a,b,c 和d中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。still in
