Of course he helped set the trend, so that got me thinking about the link between films and trends in fashion. Fashion and films have gone hand in hand for long. The Wild One is a good example: it appeared in 1954, starring Brando. Dressed in a black leather motorcycle jacket, leather cap and jeans, he created a look which is still considered “cool” today. Everyone from Madonna to middle-aged men is seen wearing the classic leather motorcycle jacket.Another strong influence on fashion trends was Breakfast at Tiffanys, starring Audrey Hepburn. She made famous the simple black dress that looks perfect at either a cocktail party or just standing around an expensive department store like Tiffanys with a pastry and coffee in your hand, as Audrey Hepburn does in the film. She looks so elegant, wearing simple but beautiful dresses, big dark glasses and a string of pearls around her neck. Audrey Hepburn still influences womens fashion with her “Tiffanys look”.In more modern times, the film star Uma Thurman created a major fashion trend when she appeared in the film Pulp Fiction, made in 1994. Her style was very simple. Her black trousers, crisp white shirt and hair style was copied by women in the world.Influencing fashion trends can often be about timing. The movie Memoirs of a Geisha came just in time to start a trend in Japanese fashion. It started the Chinese actress Zhang Ziyi, who wore beautiful silk kimonos(和服), and it won an Oscar for Costume Design. Many travel companies picked up on the trend and ran “geisha trips” to Japan. The film has also led to a regained interest in kimonos. It is now quite common to see young Japanese women wearing kimonos not just on traditional occasions, but at various social events. The fashion is also beginning to spread to western countries.8. What is the best title of the passage?A Films and fashion.BStars fashion.CInfluential films.DFilm cultures.9.

What is implied in the film Breakfast in Tiffanys according to the passage?A One can be active by wearing black.B One can be famous by looking perfect.C One can be elegant by wearing simply.DOne can be stylish by eating at Tiffanys.第二节七选五（共5小题，每题2分，满分10分）HavingashystyleisntnecessarilyaproblemItsperfectlyOKtotaketimetowarmuptonewpeopleandsituationsHerearesometipsforovercomingshyfeelingsStartsmallwithpeopleyouknowPractisesocialbehaviorlikeeyecontact，confidentbodylanguage，introductions，smalltalk，askingquestions，andinvitationswiththepeopleyoufeelmostcomfortablearoundBuildyourconfidencethisway（11） Thinkofsomeconversationstarters（12)Thinkofconversationopeners，likeintroducingyourself , givingacompliment oraskingaquestionBeingreadywithaconversationstarter（orafew）makesiteasiertoapproachsomeoneRehearse（排练）whatyouwanttosay（13）Practiseitagainandagain，maybeeveninfrontofamirrorThenjustdoitDontworryifitsnotexactlylikewhatyoupractisedorifitsnotperfectFewofthethingsmoreconfident peopledoareperfect Nexttime itllbeevenbetterbecauseitwillbeeasier（14）Findgroupactivitieswhereyoucanbewithpeoplewhoshareyour interestsGiveyourselfachancetopractisesocializingwiththesenewpeople，andgettoknowthemslowlyPeoplewhoareshyoftenworryaboutfailingorhowotherswilljudgethemSotreatyourselflikeyourownbestfriendEncourageyourselfinsteadofexpectingtofailMostofall beyourselfItsOKtotryoutdifferentconversationalapproachesyouseeothersareusing（15）Beingtherealyou-anddaringtoletyourselfbenoticed-iswhatattractsfriendsAItsimportanttomakefriendsBOften，thehardestpartoftalkingtosomeonenewishowtogetstartedCWritedownwhatyouwanttosayinadvanceDGiveyourselfachanceEThenbranchoutintodoingthiswithnewfriends，tooFShynessisanobviousshortcomingGButsayanddowhatfitsyourstyle第一节完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）IhavealwayslivedinIndia,andwasrecentlytravelingfromMumbaitoJaipurforwork.Arrivingattheairportearly,Ibeganto_16_outinthewaitinglounge(候机厅)where,withoutmuchelsetodo,I_17_tocheckoutthegiftshop.AsI_18_in theshop,IsawtwoAmericanwomenhavinganapoutside.Itseemedasiftheyhadbeenthereforhours,andIfeltIdbetterdosomethingtohelpeasetheir_19_.Ilookedaroundthe_20_forafewmoments,andendedup_21_amedium-sizedtoywhichlookedlikethecartoon_22_spongeBobSquarePants(海绵宝宝).Iaskedtheowneroftheshopfora_23_andapenandwrote,“Ifthismakesyousmilewhenyou_24_,itwouldmeantheworldtome.Haveagoodtripandanexciting_25_.”Iwalkedquietlytowardsthetwowomenand_26_thetoyandthenotenexttothem.Notwantingto_27_andwakethem,Itriedtobeasslowaspossible,butinmy_28_tofleethescene,oneofthemwokeupand_29_meintheact.Atfirstwhenshelookedatme,IworriedmaybeshethinksIma_30_!Butwhenshelookedatthe_31_toyandthenote,shebrightenedup,asifthiswasthebestthinganyonehad_32_doneforher.“Isthisforme?”sheasked.Igaveherahugesmileand_33_.Shewasso_34_!Foraminute,itdidntfeellikewewere_35_anymore.Ishookhandswithher,andhersmilemademyday.16.A.giveB.hangC.lookD.hold17.A.continuedB.decidedC.managedD.refused18.A.ranB.walkedC.rodeD.drove19.A.testB.hopeC.waitD.chat20.A.stationB.airportC.shopD.lounge21.A.designingB.purchasingC.delivering D.collecting22.A.characterB symbol.C.brandD.portrait23.A.noteB.seatC.letterD.book24.A.takeoffB.gobackC.turnawayD.getup25.A.struggleB.experience C.sleepD.dream26.A.placedB.noticedC.stoleD.picked27.A.surpriseB.noticedC.moveD.greet28A.courseB.chanceC.purposeD.attempt29A.caughtB.praisedC.supportedD.stopped30.A.workerB.thiefC.beggarD.boss31A.cheapB.uglyC.softD.old32.A.alreadyB.onceC.seldomD.ever33.A.escapedB.receivedC.nodded D.waved34A.comfortedB.delightedC.encouragedD.surprised35A.beginnersB.friendsC.workmates D.strangers非选择题部分第二部分语言运用（共两节，满分45分）第二节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分）阅读下面材料，在空白处填入1个适当内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。I have a best friend called Mike.
