Question

For most people, the word "fashion (時(shí)尚)" means "clothes". But people may ask the question, "What clothes are in fashion?" And they use the word "fashionable" in the same way:
"She was wearing a fashionable coat. His shirt was really a fashionable colour. "
But of course there are fashions in many things, not only in clothes. There are fashions in holidays, in restaurants, in films and books. There are even fashions in school subjects, jobs ... and in languages.
Fashions change as time goes. If you look at pictures of people or things from the past, you will see that fashions have always changed. An English house of 1750 was different from one of 1650. A fashionable man in 1780 looked very different from his grandson in 1860.
Today fashions change very quickly. Some of this is natural. We hear about things much more quickly than in the past. Newspapers, radios, telephones and television send information from one country to another in a few hours.
New fashions mean that people will buy new things, so you see there is money in fashion.

DBBCA
短文屬于說明文。講述了時(shí)尚的表現(xiàn)，以及隨著時(shí)間及科技發(fā)展時(shí)尚的發(fā)生的變化。
1.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從短文第一段“For most people, the word "fashion" means "clothes".”可知。
2.綜合理解題。從第三段“Fashions change as time goes. If you look at pictures…”可知。
3.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從第五段最后一句“Newspapers, radios, telephones and television”可知，提到了四種。
4.推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段“New fashions mean that people will buy new things”作者的觀點(diǎn)是人們要花錢買新時(shí)尚，所以這里的意思是，通過新時(shí)尚可以掙錢。
5.主旨大意題。短文主要講的是時(shí)尚的表現(xiàn)和時(shí)尚的變化，所以B、C、D三項(xiàng)與此關(guān)系不大，應(yīng)排除。
