2014高考英语二轮复习阅读理解专题测试题 (20)阅读理解阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项a、b、c和d中，选出最佳答案。 there is probably no field of human activity in which our values and lifestyles are shown more clearly and strongly than they are in the clothes that we choose to wear.the dress of an individual is a kind of “sign language” that communicates a set of information and is usually the basis on which immediate impressions are formed.traditionally,a concern for clothes was considered to be an affair of females,while men took pride in the fact that they were completely lacking in clothes consciousness(意识). this type of american culture is by degrees changing as man dress takes on greater variety and color.even as early as 1955,a researcher in michigan said that men attached rather high importance to the value of clothing in daily life. white collar workers in particular viewed dress as a symbol(象征)of ability,which could be used to impress or influence others,especially in the work situation.the white collar worker was described as extremely concerned about the impression his clothing made on his superiors(上司).although blue collar workers were less aware(察觉到的)that they might be judged on the basis of their clothing,they recognized that any difference from the accepted pattern of dress would be made fun of by fellow workers. since that time,of course,the patterns have changed:the typical office worker may now be wearing the blue shirt,and the laborer a white shirt;but the importance of dress has not become less.other researchers in recent years have helped to prove its importance in the lives of individuals at various age levels and in different social and economic status groups(阶层).36.the passage tells us that _.a.our values and lifestyles are in no field of human activityb.the clothes that we choose to wear have something to do with our values and lifestylesc.our values and lifestyles are from the sign languaged.the clothes we choose to wear depend on a set of information

consumers desire to go green. however, shoppers are still laying stress on environmental concerns.two thirds of customers say that environmental considerations inform their purchases to the same degree as they did a year ago, while more than a quarter say that they are now even better aware of the environmental effect on what they buy.this may help to influence how shops store goods on their shelves. and the companies should still make efforts to become more environmentally friendly. two out of three people think it is important to buy from environmentally responsible companies, with about one in seven saying that they had even decided to take their custom elsewhere if they felt a companys environmental reputation was not good enough.harry morrison, chief executive（主管）of the carbon trust, sympathizes：“i understand this situation where survival is very important now. but from environmental considerations, the clock is tickingwe dont have much time. in addition, cutting carbon has an immediate effect as costs drop and a medium-term benefit for the brand.”larger companies have an extra motivation to look at reducing their carbon footprint, as new rules next year will require businesses to buy carbon allowances to make up for their emissions（排放）. those that have taken early action will have a head start. more than two thirds of consumers are not clear about which companies are environmentally responsible. this suggests that firms that are able to relay clearly their message to the public will be in a pole position to attract shoppers.the carbon trust believes that it can help by informing customers about the good work companies are doing. “when companies are granted（授予）the standard, they can use a logo（标识）in all their marketing which makes it clear that they are working towards cutting emissions,” mr. morrison said.

efforts to encourage customers to keep goods at home.d. firms are urged to cut carbon emissions by shoppers environmental awareness.( ) 2. the underlined word “inform” in paragraph 2 probably means“

make up for their carbon emissionsd. have encouraged shoppers to take their custom elsewhere( ) 4. we can learn from the passage that businesses will .a. have a strong desire to reduce costsb. use the
