2014高考英语二轮复习阅读理解专题测试题 (24) 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 tag?a. it provides personal information of the owner. b. it is being attached by a price tag.c. it gives details of a fashion item. d. it includes brief information of the item and feelings of the owner.答案解析：答案为d。本题为词义推测题。由第二段 “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.”可知，答案为d。3. that the xchange event has achieved success is probably because _.a. it donates secondhand clothing to developing countries b. it changes peoples way of consumingc. offers an example of enjoying fashion without damaging environmentd. it shows fashion is the best policy for women 答案解析：答案为c。本题为细节题。由最后一段 “this success is probably because it is an active event that gives participants opportunities to enjoy fashion without increasing the impact on the environment.”可知，答案为c。4. which of the following can be the best title of the passage?a. fashion exchange concept grows in japan.b. xchange environment meets the fashion industry.c. the global rise of the fashion exchange. d. join in xchange.答案解析：答案为a。本题为主旨大意题。由第二段 “japans first major fashion swap event, xchange, was held in september 2007 in tokyo.” 可知，第一届fashion exchange2007年在日本东京举办，后文对其进行了介绍，最后一段呼应文章的中心 “since 2007, the xchange event has been held every two or three months in a different region of japan, always attracting many participants.”, 因此本文主要介绍fashion exchange在日本的盛行，尽管第一段提到fashion exchange在欧美受到了欢迎，但这仅仅是fashion exchange的影响，故最佳标题为a。阅读理解课堂练学案（8）passage twenty (the law to keep the oil industry under control)the norwegian government is doing its best to keep the oil industry under control. a new law limits exploration to an area south of the southern end of the long coastline; production limits have been laid down (though these have already been raised); and oil companies have not been allowed to employ more than a limited number of foreign workers. but the oil industry has a way of getting over such problems, and few people believe that the government will be able to hold things back for long. as on norwegian politician said last week: “we will soon be changed beyond all recognition.”ever since the war, the government has been carrying out a programme of development in the area north of the arctic circle. during the past few years this programme has had a great deal of success: tromso has been built up into a local capital with a university, a large hospital and a healthy industry. but the oil industry has already started to draw people south, and within a few years the whole northern policy could be in ruins.the effects of the oil industry would not be limited to the north, however. with nearly 100 percent employment, everyone can see a situation developing in which the service industries and the tourist industry will lose more of their workers to the oil industry. some smaller industries might even disappear altogether when it becomes cheaper to buy goods from abroad.the real argument over oil is its threat to the norwegian way of life. farmers and fishermen do not make up most of the population, but they are an important part of it, because norwegians see in them many of the qualities that they regard with pride as essentially norwegian. and it is the farmers and the fishermen who are most critical of the oil industry because of the damage that it might cause to the countryside and to the sea.1.the norwegian government would prefer the oil industry toa provide more jobs for foreign workers.slow down the rate of its development.c sell the oil it is producing abroad.d develop more quickly than at present.2.the norwegian government has tried toa encourage the oil companies to discover new oil sources.prevent oil companies employing people from northern norway.c help the oil companies solve many of their problems.d keep the oil industry to something near its present size.3.according to the passage, the oil industry might lead northern norway toa the development of industry.a growth in population.c the failure of the development programme.d the development of new towns.4.in the south, one effect to the development of the oil industry might bea a large reduction on unemployment.a growth in the tourist industry.c a reduction in the number of existing industries.d the development of a number of service industries.5.norwegian farmers and fishermen have an important influence becausea they form such a large part of norwegian ideal.their lives and values represent the norwegian ideal.c their work is so useful to the rest of norwegian society.d they regard oil as a threat to the norwegian way of life.vocabulary1.norwegian 挪威的；挪威人2.coastline 海岸线3.recognition 承认；认识；赞赏4.countryside 乡下；乡民难句译注1.a new law limits exploration to an area south of the southern end of the long coastline;
