These are the basic reasons why clothes are worn, but people also want to look attractive and appear successful to If people only wore clothes for warmth and to cover their bodies, most clothes would be simple and cheap. In most Western countries, however, clothes are sometimes very expensive. The main reason for this is not the cost of the cloth or the cost of making the clothes. The clothes are expensive because of fashion.Successful businessmen, for example, often wear very expensive suits, shirts and ties. Sometimes they pay thousands of dollars for a suit and hundreds of dollars for a tie. Its just a suit and a tie but they pay these prices because of the famous name of the designer. A suit costing much less would be just as warm and would cover the wearers body just as well.Fashion is always changing, which means those who want to be fashionable have to buy new clothes every few months, even if last months clothes have only been worn once or twice. Some people have wardrobes full of clothes that have hardly been worn but are no longer in fashion. Being fashionable, therefore, can be a very expensive pastime!36. What do people basically wear clothes for? A. Looking attractive to others. B. Following the fashion. C. Appearing successful to others. D. Keeping warm and covering bodies.37. We can learn from the passage that _. A. expensive clothes are not any warmer than cheap ones B. fashion is not always changing C. expensive clothes are warmer D. fashion designers like expensive clothes38. What does the underlined word “wardrobes” in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Fashionable clothes shops. B. The clothes that some people have. C. Cupboards for storing clothes. D. Shelves used for keeping books.39. What is the passage mainly about? A. Suits and ties. B. Clothes and fashion. C. Beauty and success. D. Cost and pastime. BGrown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since. A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. He can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son. A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins Twinkle, twinkle, little star or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears. One explanation is the law of overlearning , which can be stated as follows: Once we have learned something, additional learning trials(尝试)increase the length of time we will remember it.中%#国教育*出版网In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing baseball long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as Twinkle, twinkle, little star and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks. We not only learn but overlearn.The multiplication tables(乘法口诀表)are an exception to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood.The law of overlearning explains why cramming(突击学习)for an examination, though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little overlearning, on the other hand, is really necessary for ones future development.40. What is the main idea of paragraph I?A. People remember well what they learned in childhood.21cnjyB. Children have a better memory than grown-ups.C. Poem reading is a good way to learn words.D. Stories for children arc easy to remember.41.

According to the author, being able to use multiplication tables is_.A. a result of overlearningB. a special case of crammingC. a skill to deal with math problemsD. a basic step towards advanced studies43. What is the authors opinion on cramming?A. It leads to failure in college exams.B. Its helpful only in a limited way.C. Its possible to result in poor memory.来%&源:中#教网【出处：21教育名师】D. It increases students learning interest. C中国教育&出*#版网Fear and its companion pain are two of the most useful things that man and animals possess if they are used. If fire didnt hurt when it burned, children would play with it until their hands were burned away. Similarly, if pain existed but fear didnt, a child could burn itself again and again because fear would not warn it to keep away from the fire that had burnt it before. A really fearless soldierand some do existis not a good soldier because he is soon killed; and a dead soldier is of no use to his army. Fear and pain are therefore two guards without which man and animals might soon die out.www%.zzst*ep.c#In our first sentence we suggested that fear ought to be properly used. If, for example, you never go out of your house because of the danger of being knocked down and killed in the street by a car, you are letting fear rule you too much. The important thing is not to let fear rule you, but instead, to use fear as your servant and guide. Fear will warn you of dangers; then you have to decide what action to take.21*cnjy*comIn many cases, you can take quick and successful action to avoid the danger. For example, you see a car coming straight towards you; fear warns you, you jump out of the way, and all is well.In some cases, however, you decide that there is nothing that you can do to avoid the danger. For example, you cannot prevent an airplane crashing into your house, and you may not want to go and live in a desert where there are no airplanes. In this case, fear has given you its warning, you have examined it and decided on your course of action, so fear of the particular danger is no longer of any use to you, and you have to try to overcome it.中国教*育&%出版网44. Children would play with fire until their hands are burnt away if _.A. they had no sense of painB. they had never played with fire beforeC. they were not well educated at school来源*:21世纪教育网%D. they were fearful of pain45.

The whole passage is developed by _.来&源:中教#*网 A. reasoning and exemplifying 来源:21世纪教育网B. argument and debate C. scientific explanationsD. supposing and proving47. The best title for this passage should be _.A. No Pains, No Gains B. Pain and ActionsC. The Value of Fear D. The Reason Why People Fear中%国教育出&*版网#www.z#zste% DThere are many ways to find a job. It can be as easy as walking into a neighborhood store to look at its announcement board. Local stores often have areas where people can put small signs telling what kind of service they need or can provide. Such services include caring for children or cleaning houses. Or, job searchers can look in the newspaper. Local newspapers have employment announcements placed by companies seeking workers. Another popular tool for finding jobs is the Internet. For example, people in four hundred and fifty cities around the world can use the Craigslist Web site to buy objects, meet people or find a job. Craigslist says that it receives two million new job listings each month. Another useful way to find a job is through a college or university. For example, students at the University of Texas in Austin can go to the Career Exploration Center to get help in finding a job. Of course, looking for a job requires knowing what kind of work you want to do. For example, there is a book called “What Color is Your Parachute?” by Richard Bolles. This book has been helping people choose a career since it was first published in nineteen seventy. Some experts also help people find jobs. Susan W. Miller owns a company called California Career Services in Los Angeles. She says her company helps people find jobs by first helping them understand their strengths, goals and interests. Then she provides them with methods and resources to help them find the right job.48. What is the passage mainly about?21世纪教育网A. Finding a job. B. College students part-time jobs.C.

Millers company is helping people choose careersD. California Career Services mainly serves university students EYoure rushing to work and a man ahead of you collapses on the sidewalk. Do you stop to help? In a study of by-standers, it was found that some people neglect their gaze and keep on walking rather than stop and get involved.“There is a tendency to decide that no action is needed.” says a psychologist. “The first thoughts that pop into your mind often keep you from offering help. In order to take action, you have to work against them.” Here are some common thoughts that might prevent you from helping: Why should I be the one? Im probably not the most competent(能干的) person in this crowd. You might think someone older or with more medical knowledge should offer assistance. What if he doesnt really need my help? The fear of embarrassment is powerful; no one wants to risk looking foolish in front of others. No one else looks concerned-this must not be a problem. We can follow the people around us- but most people tend to hold back their emotions in public.来源#:中国%教育出*版网“If you spot trouble and find yourself explaining inaction, force yourself to stop and evaluate the situation instead of walking on,” says the psychologist. “Then retry to involve other people; you dont have to take on the entire responsibility of being helpful. Sometimes its just a matter of turning to the person next to you and saying, It looks like we should do something. Or asking someone if an ambulance has been called and, if not, to call for one. Once you take action, most people will follow you.”52. Which is NOT the common thought that stops you from helping others?A. Im not the very person capable of setting the problem.B. It looks like we should do something.C. It must not be a problem as no one else is concerned.D. He doesnt really need my help.53. According to a study of by- standers, what will some people do when a man ahead falls down on the sidewalk?A. They will call for help and then walk away.B. They will stop and offer help.C. They will turn away their eyes and go on walking.D. They will laugh at him.54. We learn from the last paragraph that if we spot trouble, _.中国教*%育出#版网A. we should call the ambulance as soon as we can.B. we should take on the whole responsibility and do something alone C. we should stop and evaluate the situation and try to make other people follow来&%源:#中教网D. we should turn to other people and ask them to take on the responsibility55.
