here are some fashion tips from our experts you should keep in mind: dress to impress: stylist and business consultant daniela smith says, girls should keep in mind that your college professors will often be the bridge that connects you to your future career and our classmates will become your professional network. you dont need to dress like youre going to the office, but you should display an ability to properly present yourself with appropriate maturity and confidence, and look put-together. logo mania （品牌狂热症）: wearing the logos of brands aimed at younger customers physically identifies you as part of that age group, so consider the targeted age group of the stores you shop at. its tempting to load up on logos, especially well-known logos that signify high-end brands. but consider this: college is a time of self-discovery, a chance to develop your own personal style. instead of wearing logos head to toe, walking advertisement -style, why not express who you really are? wear real pants: the combination of leggings and baggy shirts is all too common on college campuses. smith points out that leggings, yoga pants, and sweatpants are entirely unacceptable in public unless youre exercising. although leggings worn as pants are a common trend among high school and college girls, they are not an appropriate choice for daywear. as a young woman, your style choice should begin to reflect your maturity level. so, get rid of leggings and wear real pants! keep the cute factor to a minimum: stay away from sweaters and t-shirts with smiling animals, cartoon characters, or hello kitty on them. sure, kittens might be cute, but theyre not doing you any favors in the style department. dressing too cutesy can take years off your look, and not necessarily in a good way!(1)the second paragraph indicates the importance of _.aimpressing professorsbgetting on well with classmates.ccreating a professional imageddressing, appropriately(2)the author believes that college girls should _.achoose a logo, that suits their agebtry to load up on well-known logoscuse logos to show who they aredfind their identity by trying different logos(3)the author recommends wearing real pants because _.aleggings and baggy shirts are too commonbyoga pants and sweatpants are not so comfortablecreal pants can present you with appropriate maturitydpeople like real pants better than the other pants(4)whats the writers attitude towards sweaters with animals on them?athey make people look lovely.bthey are very fashionable these days.cthey will show youre an animal lover.dthey are not suitable for college-aged students.(5)in which magazine would you most likely find this passage?abusiness week. bparents. cstyle. dtravel & leisure.*结束5、（2010吉林省吉林一中冲刺）forty years ago, rachel carson died and the pittsburgh area lost perhaps its most influential citizen. a native of a pennsylvania college for women graduate, carson published “silent spring” in 1962, a work that launched the modern environmental movement and led to the creation of the environmental protection agency (epa) as well as the passage of our major environmental laws.however, there has been a puzzling and troubling trend in recent years: an attack on her theory by conservatives and the agrochemical (农用化学品) industry. for example, rush limbaugh gave the following quiz: “who caused more deaths: adolf hitler or rachelcarson?” limbaughs answer was carson, due to the approximately 100 million deaths from malaria (疟疾) since 1972, the year in which the pesticide (杀虫剂）ddt was banned for use in the united states in part as a result of “silent spring.”therefore, on this 40th anniversary of carsons death, we need to take a scientific look at the myths that remain about pesticides.myth 1: pesticide usage has declined since 1962. in fact, pesticide usage has more than doubled since 1962, and the global pesticide industry currently uses over 2.5 million tons of pesticides each year. even ddt is still used abroad. myth 2: pesticides are safe. in fact, as carson warned us, these poisonous chemicals are unsafe since they are designed to kill biological organisms, but are often not specific in their targets. pesticide exposure can cause skin irritation, headache, cancer and even death. according to the who, over 25 million people a year in developing countries suffer severe acute pesticide poisonings with over 20,000 deaths. of the 80,000 pesticides and other chemicals in use today, 10 percent are recognized as carcinogens (致癌物质). according to recent studies, brain cancer rates are five times higher in homes with “no-pest” strips and six times higher in homes where pets wear flea collars (杀蚤颈圈). our homes have pesticide concentrations 10 to 100 times higher than outdoors.so, if carson were with us today, still battling the agrochemical industry that spent millions of dollars, what would she be advocating? i feel confident that she would be a strong supporter of a new principle of chemical assessment. simply put, this principle requires producers of pesticides to prove that they are safe and necessary before they are put on the market. our current system puts the burden of proof on government and scientists to prove that a pesticide is dangerous and poses an “unacceptable risk” before it can be pulled from the market. 57.limbaugh attacked carson because he thought that _.a. “silent spring” had caused in part the 100 million deaths from malariab. she was supporting the production of poisonous pesticidesc. “silent spring” was originated from hitlers writingsd. she had not cared for the 100 million deaths from malaria58.which of the foll
