19.Who made your T-shirt?"A Geowetown University student raised that question.Pietra Rivoli,a professor of business,wanted to find the answer.A few weeks later,she bought a T-shirt and began to follow its path from Texas cotton form to Chinese factory to charity bin (箱).The result is an interesting new book,The Travels of a T-shirt in the Global Economy.
Following a T-shirt around the world in a way to make her point more interesting,but it also frees Rivoli from the usual arguments over global trade.She goes wherever the T-shirt goes,and there are surprises around every corner.In China,Rivoli shows why a clothing factory,even with its poor conditions,means a step toward a better life for the people who work there.In the colorful used-clothing markets of Tanzania,she realizes this,"it is only in this final stage of life that the T-shirt will meet a real market,"where the price of a shirt changes by the hour and is different by its size and even color.Rivoli's book is full of memerable people and scenes,like the noise,the bad air and the"muddy-sweet smell of the cotton."She says,"Here in the factory,Shanghai smells like Shallowater Texas."
Rivoli is at her best when making those sorts of unexpected connections.She even finds one between the free traders and those who are against globalization.The chances opened up by trade are vast,she argues,but free markets need the correcting force of politics to keep them in check.True economic progress needs them both.

A.She used to work on a cotton farm.

解答 BCAD
28.B 考查細節(jié)理解.根據(jù)"The result is an interesting new book,The Travels of a T-shirt in the Global Economy.Following a T-shirt around the world in a way to make her point more interesting,but it also frees Rivoli from the usual arguments over global trade"可知,這位教授她寫了一本關(guān)于世界貿(mào)易的書.故選B.
29.C 考查細節(jié)理解.根據(jù)"where the price of a shirt changes by the hour and is different by its size and even color"可知,t恤衫價格經(jīng)常會上漲和下跌.故選C.

31.D 考查文章主旨大意.根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容可知,本文講述的是T恤衫價格的變動以及變動的原因,最終得出結(jié)論"自由市場需要政治力量來約束他們".所以本文寫的是"t恤可以教給我們什么".故選D.

點評 閱讀理解考察學生的細節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力,做細節(jié)理解題時一定要找到文章中的原句,和題干進行比較,再做出正確的選擇.在做推理判斷題不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實,要根據(jù)文章事實進行合乎邏輯的推理判斷.

7.Zheng Pengyu:Interest is the best teacher.Classrooms that weren't fixed could give students the chance to explore their interests.At the same time,they would be able to learn on their own because they would have to make their own decisions.All in all,the new system would be a good chance to inspire students'love for studying.
Sun Yao:Despite its benefits,I'm worried about whether the new system would work.Going to different classrooms would take up a big part of our break time and we would have less time to relax after class.Also,not all schools could offer so many different classes.
Shi Zhenghan:I support students learning in different classes.It would solve the problem of some students thinking the classes are too easy while some think they are too difficult.Teachers could also teach more effectively.What's more,friendships built while in different classes might be a pleasant surprise.
Zhou Qingqing:In my opinion,studying in different classrooms might affect students'psychological development.They might find it difficult to develop deep and strong friendships with other students if they had to change classrooms constantly.They would also lose their sense of belonging to a certain class.
Hu Qile:I applaud the idea.It would help teachers set up special teaching plans for different classes.For students,making choices by themselves could encourage them to be responsible.Changing classrooms could also help remove the boredom of doing the same dull routine every day.
Wang Xiaoqian:The new system might help with students'individual development,but I still prefer the current system.Studying in one fixed classroom,students with different academic levels can help each other.Spending your senior middle school years with the same classmates is an unforgettable experience.

25.According to Sun Yao,which of the following sentences is TRUE?B
A.The new system will work if great measures are taken.
B.Not every school can afford so many different classes.
C.Students will have more time to relax.
D.He supports the system because of its benefits.
26.Among the following people,who prefers the new system?C
A.Sun Yao
B.Zhou Qingqing 
C.Hu Qile
D.Wang Xiaoqian
27.What is the passage about?C
A.Different opinions about changing classrooms.
B.Students find it difficult to develop friendship.
C.Schools should offer different classes to students.
D.Changing classrooms can help with students'individual development.

14.Driving to a friend's house on a recent evening,I was attracted by the sight of the full moon rising just above my friend's roof-tops.I stopped to watch it for a few moments,thinking about what a pity it was that most citizens,myself included,usually miss sights like this because we spend most of our lives indoors.
My friend had also seen it.He grew up living in a forest in Europe,and the moon meant a lot to him then.It had touched much of his life.
I know the feeling.Last December I took my seven-year-old daughter to the mountainous jungle of northern India with some friends.We stayed in a forest rest-house with no electricity or running hot water.Our group had campfires outside every night,and indoors when it was too cold outside.The moon grew to its fullest during our trip.Between me and the high mountains lay three or four valleys.Not a light shone in them and not a sound could be heard.It was one of the quietest places I have ever known,a bottomless well of silence.And above me was the full moon,which struck me deeply.
Today our lives are filled with glass,metal,plastic and fiber-glass.We have televisions,cell phones,papers,electricity,heaters and ovens and air-conditioners,cars,computers.
Struggling through traffic that evening at the end of a tiring day,most of which was spent in doors,I thought that before long I would like to live in a small cottage.There I will grow vegetables and read books and walk in the mountains,and perhaps write,but not in anger.I may become an old man there,and wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled and measure out my life in coffee spoons.But I will be able to walk outside on a cold silent night and touch the moon.
25.The writer felt sorry for himself becauseA.
A.he usually failed to see the fullest moon      
B.there was too much pollution
C.he didn't get used to modern inventions 
D.there were too many accidents on the road
26.What impressed the writer most in the mountainous jungle of northern India?B
A.No modern equipment.
B.The nice moon.
C.The high mountains.
D.Complete silence.
27.Modern things (in Paragraph 4)are mentioned mainly toC.
A.show that the writer likes city life very much
B.tell us that people greatly benefit from modern life
C.explain that people have less chances to enjoy nature
D.show that we can also enjoy nature at home through them
28.The author wrote the passage toB.
A.show the love for the moonlight
B.express the feeling of returning to nature
C.a(chǎn)dvise modern people to learn to live
D.want to show his longing (渴望) for modern life.

11.When men get together,they seldom talk about their feelings or inner thoughts.However,they talk about a lot,like their newest computer,how to repair their car,or even business.
Talk might move to the best place to find fish or women,jump to computer games,then continue to the sport of the season.They also like to tell jokes each other and spend a fair amount of time playing one-up and boasting(吹牛).Men seldom call each other to chat.
When man meets woman,he usually wants to make a good impression.Many single men try hard to carry on amusing,fun,and pleasant conversations.They use conversation to discover her interests and feelings in order to learn how to be attractive to her.
Some men,either out of nervousness or ignorance,spend most of the time talking about themselves,often appearing to brag about their achievements or talk endlessly about their problems or work.Even the quietest man talks to his woman when love is new.
When women get together,they talk about feelings and relationships,their work and their family.They enjoy talking but also want the give and take of talk,then listen.Women often call each other to chat.Conversation is an important part of most women's 1ives.
As relationships progress,however,many a man turns on the television and forgets how to talk.This raises anger and cry from his woman partner who says,"You never talk to me  anymore."Some men start talking.Many,however,mainly discuss their own achievements and problems.
When the woman starts talking about her favorite subjects:feelings,family,relationships,friends and her work,many men lose interest or bring the conversation back to themselves.Pretty soon,the man is back to staring at the television each night,wondering where his relationship has gone.The woman is talking to her friends,mom,sister,or neighbor,often about that very relationship and how she is hurting.
28.What can we know about men from the first two paragraphs?A
A.They like to talk about practical matters.
B.They are willing to expose their inner thoughts.
C.They prefer to take adventurous travels.
D.They often call each other to chat about work.
29.Which of the following can replace the underlined part"brag about"in Paragraph 4?A
A.Show off.    
B.Dream about.  
C.Put forward.
D.Care for.
30.What is the same topic in both men's and women's talk?D
A.Family.    
B. Jokes.
C.Friends.
D.Work.
31.What is the best title of this passage?C
A.How a man makes a good impression to a woman.
B.Good relationship between men and women.
C.Men talk;women talk;do they talk together?
D.Talking,the women's main tool in communication.
