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 your 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 _. A. impressing professors B. getting on well with classmates C. creating a professional image D. dressing appropriately2. The author believes that college girls should _. A. choose a logo that suits their age B. try to load up on well-known logos C. use logos to show who they are D. find their identity by trying different logos3. The author recommends wearing real pants because _. A. leggings and baggy shirts are too common B. yoga pants and sweatpants are not as comfortable C. real pants can present you with appropriate maturity D. people like real pants better than the other pants4. Whats the writers attitude towards sweaters with animals on them? A. They make people look lovely. B. They are very fashionable these days. C. They will show youre an animal lover. D. They are not suitable for college-aged students.5. In which magazine would you most likely find this passage?A. Business Week. B. Parents. C. In style. D. Travel & Leisure.【参考答案】15、D A C D C 【广东省2012届高三考前冲刺卷(八)】CThe French word renaissance means rebirth.It was first used in 1855 by the historian Jules Michelet in his History of France，then adopted by historians of culture，by art historians，and eventually by music historians，all of whom applied it to European culture during the 150 years spanning 14501600.The concept of rebirth was appropriate to this period of European history because of the renewed interest in ancient Greek and Roman culture that began in Italy and then spread throughout Europe.Scholars and artists of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries wanted to restore the learning and ideals of the classical civilizations of Greece and Rome.To these scholars this meant a return to humanas opposed to spiritual values.Fulfillment in lifeas opposed to concern about an afterlifebecame a desirable goal，and expressing the entire range of human emotions and enjoying the pleasures of the senses were no longer frowned on.Artists and writers now turned to secular(不朽的)as well as religious subject matter and sought to make their works understandable and appealing.These changes in outlook deeply affected the musical culture of the Renaissance periodhow people thought about music as well as the way music was composed，experienced，discussed，and circulated.They could see the architectural monuments，sculptures(雕塑)，plays，and poems that were being rediscovered，but they could not actually hear ancient musicalthough they could read the writings of classical philosophers，poets，essayists，and music theorists that were becoming available in translation.They learned about the power of ancient music to move the listener and wondered why modern music did not have the same effect.For example，the influential religious leader Bernardino Cirillo expressed disappointment with the learned music of his time.He urged musicians to follow the example of the sculptors，painters，architects，and scholars who had rediscovered ancient art and literature.The musical Renaissance in Europe was more a general cultural movement and state of mind than a specific set of musical techniques.Furthermore，music changed so rapidly during this century and a halfthough at different rates in different countriesthat we cannot define a single Renaissance style.36What is the passage mainly about?AThe musical compositions that best illustrate the developments during the European Renaissance.BThe musical techniques that were in use during the European Renaissance.CThe European Renaissance as a cultural development that included changes in musical style.DThe ancient Greek and Roman musical practices used during the European Renaissance.37The underlined word “now” in Paragraph 1 refers to _.A1855Bthe period of the RenaissanceCtile time of the classical civilizations of Greece and RomeDthe time at which the author wrote the passage38It can be inferred from the passage that thinkers of the Renaissance were seeking a rebirth of _.Aspirituality in everyday lifeBcommunication among artists across EuropeCa cultural emphasis on human valuesDreligious themes in art that would accompany the traditional secular themes39What can be inferred about the music of ancient Greece and Rome?AIts effect on listeners was described in a number of classical texts.BIt was played on instruments that are familiar to modern audiences.CIt expressed more different ideals than classical sculpture，painting and poetry.DIt had the same effect on Renaissance audiences as it had when originally performed.40According to the passage，why was Bernardino Cirillo disappointed with the music of his time?AIt did not contain enough religious themes.BIt had little emotional impact on audiences.CIt was not complex enough to appeal to musicians.DIt was too dependent on the art and literature of his time.36C主旨大意题。全文主要讲述了欧洲文艺复兴的发展，其中以音乐风格的变化为主要例证。37B词义猜测题。讲述故事时用now表示“那时，当时”，即故事发生的时候。38C推理判断题。根据第一段第五句“To these scholars this meant a return to humanas opposed to spiritual values.”可知，文艺复兴时期的思想家寻求的是对人的价值的重视。39A推理判断题。根据第二段的“.although they could read the writings of classical philosophers，poets，essayists，and music theorists that were becoming available in translation.They learned about the power of ancient music to move the listener and wondered why.”可推知选A。40D推理判断题。从第二段最后的描述中可以看出，Bernardino Cirillo对他那个时代中的模仿的音乐非常失望，敦促音乐家来向古代雕塑家、画家、建筑师和学者学习，这说明他认为他那个时代的音乐依赖性太强。高考英语冲刺阅读理解专项 President George Bush is heading to Camp David for Thanksgiving, thankful for his almost-expired privilege of serving as the president. President-elect Barack Obama is staying in Chicago to have a whole bunch of people over to the house and squeeze in some Christmas shopping. On a holiday designed for reflection(回忆), one man, historically unpopular, is heading to a remote mountaintop with his family. The other, promising change, is surrounding himself with dozens of people in a busy city. Dressed casually in a leather jacket and black scarf on Wednesday, Obama handed out food to the needy at a Chicago church with wife Michelle and their two daughters, shaking hands and happily telling people you can call me Barack. He followed that with a quick visit to a school next door, where he asked the excited kids, Whos going to have turkey? Whos going to have green beans? Whos going to have sweet potato pie? Obama has shown a knack(窍门) for symbolism, in this case following the Thanksgiving tradition of helping the poor, said David Greenberg, a Rutgers University historian who is working on a history of political spin. Here hes showing a different side of himself, the president as national conscience or moral authority. I think thats probably a good note for him to introduce in a transition period thats been so heavily focused on Wall Street and the financial system and these economic problems, he said. Hes not forgetting who these economic problems are hurting the most. For Bush, his final Thanksgiving in office is proving a time for nostalgia. He always reflects a bit at Thanksgiving, but he went further as he spared（放飞）the Thanksgiving turkey, Pumpkin, on Wednesday. He gave thanks to troops and volunteers, to teachers and pastors, to all the American people. Then he gave thanks for his wife and twin daughters two Thanksgiving miracles who we were blessed with 27 years ago and that his mother, former first lady Barbara Bush, was doing well after being hospitalized. Most of all, he said, I thank the American people for the tremendous privilege of serving as the president. This Thanksgiving, Obama used the opportunity for a relatively rare public event with his wife and children, Sasha, 7, and Malia, 10 and a chance for a little lesson for the kids. I want them to learn the importance of how fortunate they are and to make sure theyre giving back, he said of bringing the girls to the church. And whats he thankful for? I just want you to know what Im thankful for is my family and my friends and my community, he told the schoolchildren. Thats the most important thing. 1. The best title of the passage should be _A. Thanksgiving for Bush and Obama B. Thanksgiving DayC. How to celebrate Thanksgiving Day D. Thanksgiving Day for presidents答案解析：答案为A。本题考查文章的标题。全文报道了即将卸任的总统Bush和新选举的总统Obama各自在感恩节做的事情。故答案为A。2. The underlined word “squeeze” in paragraph 2 is closest to _A. force B. push C. join D. take答案解析：答案为C。本题为词义猜测题。结合下文的第三段 “On a holiday designed for reflection, one man, historically unpopular, is heading to a remote mountaintop with his family. The other, promising change, is surrounding himself with dozens of people in a busy city.”可知，“one man”指的是第一段提到的President George Bush，他和家人一起要去遥远的山顶；“The other”指的是第二段提到的President-elect Barack Obama，他在繁忙的城市中，周围都是人。可以推断，第二段写的是新选举的总统Obama加入了圣诞节的购物潮中，因此squeeze意思最接近 “join”，故答案为C。3. Which of the following is NOT right according to the passge?A. Bush is thought highly of by the people in the article.B. Bushs daughters are 27 years old now.C. Obama visited some of the people who needed help.D. Bush gave thanks to troops and volunteers, to teachers and pastors, to all the American people.答案解析：答案为A。本题为细节题。由第三段 “On a holiday designed for reflection, one man, historically unpopular, is heading to a remote mountaintop with his family.”可知，“one man”在历史上不受欢迎，结合上题的分析，“one man”指的是Bush，因此A选项“文中人们对Bush评价很高”错误，故答案为A。 第九段写的是Bush, 由文中 “He gave thanks to troops and volunteers, to teachers and pastors, to all the American people. Then he gave thanks for his wife and twin daughters two Thanksgiving miracles who we were blessed with 27 years ago”可知，B、D选项符合文意。由第四段 “Dressed casually in a leather jacket and black scarf on Wednesday, Obama handed out food to the needy at a Chicago church”可知，C选项符合文意。 4. The passage suggests that _A Its a tradition for a US president to spare a turkey on Thanksgiving Day.B On Thanksgiving Day, Obama mainly has a get-together with his family and friends.C Obama asked his two daughters to make contribution to the US economy.D Bush thinks it a honour and also a pity to be the US president.答案解析：答案为A。本题为细节推理题，解答此题可用排除法。由第十一段 “This Thanksgiving, Obama used the opportunity for a relatively rare public event with his wife and children, Sasha, 7, and Malia, 10 and a chance for a little lesson for the kids.”可知，Obama利用这个机会和妻子孩子团聚，没有和朋友一起，故B选项错误。C、D选项未提。因此只有选择A选项“对于美国总统来说感恩节放飞火鸡是一种传统”，文中第八段提到 “For Bush, his final Thanksgiving in office is proving a time for nostalgia. He always reflects a bit at Thanksgiving, but he went further as he spared the Thanksgiving turkey, Pumpkin, on Wednesday.” 由此可知，A选项是正确的。【广东省2012届高三考前冲刺卷(八)】DThe high school prom is the first formal social event for most American teenagers.It has also been a rite(仪式) of passage for young Americans for nearly a century.The word “prom” was first used in the 1890s，referring to formal dances in which the guests of a party would display their fashions and dancing skills during the evenings grand march.In the United States，parents and educators have come to regard the prom as an important lesson in social skills.Therefore，proms have been held every year in high schools for students to learn proper social behavior.The first high school proms were held in the 1920s in America.By the 1930s，proms were common across the country.For many older Americans，the prom was a modest，homegrown affair in the school gymnasium.Promgoers were well dressed but not fancily dressed up for the occasion：boys wore jackets and ties and girls their Sunday dresses.Couples danced to music provided by a local amateur band or a record player.After the 1960s，and especially since the 1980s，the high school prom in many areas has become a serious exercise in excessive consumption，with boys renting expensive tuxedos and girls wearing designer gowns.Expensive cars were hired to drive the promgoers to big restaurants or discos for an allnight celebrationsWhether simple or lavish，proms have always been more or less upsetting events for adolescents who worry about selfimage and fitting in with their peers.Prom night can be a fearful experience for socially awkward teens or for those who do not secure dates.Since the 1990s，alternative proms have been organized in some areas to meet the needs of particular students.For example，proms organized by and for homeless youth were reported.There were also “couplefree” proms to which all students are welcome.41In what way are high school proms significant to American teenagers?AThey are part of the graduation ceremony.BThey are occasions for teens to show off their wealth.CThey are important events for teenagers to learn social skills.DThey are formal events in which teens share their fearful experiences.42Which best expresses the main idea of t
