4.Throughout the world,clothing has many uses.It is used to provide protection from cold.It is also worn to prevent others from seeing specific parts of one's body.However,the parts of the body that must be covered vary widely throughout the world.Some clothing is worn to provide supernatural protection.Wearing a lucky shirt to take an exam is calling for supernatural assistance.
People in all cultures use clothing and other forms of bodily decoration to communicate status(身份),intentions and other messages.In North America,we dress differently for business and various leisure activities.North American women usually are much more knowledgeable of little difference in messages communicated by clothes than men.At times,this leads to silly mistakes of understanding of female intentions on the part of men.Of course,clothing styles also are intended to communicate messages to members of the same gender(性別).
Long before we are near enough to talk to someone,their appearance tells their gender,age,economic class,and often even intentions.We begin to recognize the important cultural clues at an early age.The vocabulary of dress that we learn includes not only items of clothing but also hairstyles,jewelry,and other body decoration.In most cultures,however,the same style of dress communicates different messages depending on the age,gender,and physical appearance of the individual wearing it.
Putting on certain types of clothing can change your behavior and the behavior of others towards you.This can be the case with a doctor's white lab coat,or an army uniform.Most uniforms are clearly symbolic so that they can rapidly and unmistakably communicate status.For instance,the strange hairstyle and clothing of the English"punks"are essential aspects of their uniforms.
There are many forms of body decoration other than clothes that are used around the world to send messages.These include body and hair paint,and even body deformation.When doctors put braces on teeth,they are actually doing the same thing-deforming or reforming a part of the body to make it more attractive.
33.Which of the following is the best title for this passage?D
A.Clothing and Culture
B.Ways of Sending Message
C.Clothing and Social Behavior
D.Communication through Clothing
34.Some people wear lucky shirts to take an exam because they believeB.
A.clothes can hide t heir fear for the exam
B.clothes have extraordinary power
C.shirts can make them more comfortable
D.shirts provide protection against bad weather
35.From the passage,it can be inferred thatA.
A.clothing plays an important role in social activities
B.words of dress are unable to communicate different messages
C.dress is better than language in communicating messages
D.messages communicated by clothes are the same in different cultures.

分析 衣服有很多作用,本文作者主要講述衣服和許多身體的裝飾物傳達(dá)人的地位,性別,年齡,意圖或者其他信息,衣服也可以改變?nèi)说男袨榛蛘咧車说男袨榕e止.

解答 33.D主旨分析題.從文中第二段People in all cultures use clothing and other forms of bodily decoration to communicate status(身份),intentions and other messages在所有文化中,人用服裝和其他形式的身體裝飾傳達(dá)身份、意圖和其他消息,從全文看,可知作者多次提出衣服communicate messages to members of the same gender傳達(dá)同一性別成員的信息等,故選D.
34.B細(xì)節(jié)理解題.從文中第一段Some clothing is worn to provide supernatural protection.Wearing a lucky shirt to take an exam is calling for supernatural assistance.穿一些衣服是為了提供超自然的保護(hù).穿著一件幸運(yùn)衫去參加一門考試是在呼吁超自然的幫助.故他們相信衣服有非同一般的力量.故選B.
35.A推斷分析題.排除法.從文中第二段In North America,we dress differently for business and various leisure activities.在北美,我們穿著不同的衣服參加商業(yè)和各種各樣的活動,故可以推斷出A選項,衣服在社交活動中扮演重要角色;而選項B,從文中第三段The vocabulary of dress that we learn includes not only items of clothing but also hairstyles,jewelry,and other body decoration.我們學(xué)到的禮服的詞匯不只包括衣服的商品還有發(fā)型、首飾和其他身體裝飾.故不能推斷出禮服的詞匯不能傳達(dá)不同的信息,故B不正確.而選項C,文中并未將衣服與語言作對比,故無從推斷,故C不正確;而選項D,從文中第二段,單獨(dú)列舉北美人的文化,不能推斷出不同文化中衣服傳達(dá)的信息是一樣的,或者根據(jù)常識判斷此選項也可以,可知D不正確.故選A.

點評 本文是一個科教類閱讀理解,題目涉及多道細(xì)節(jié)理解題,做題時結(jié)合原文和題目有針對性的找出相關(guān)語句進(jìn)行仔細(xì)分析,結(jié)合選項選出正確答案.推理判斷題也是要在抓住關(guān)鍵句子的基礎(chǔ)上合理的分析才能得出正確答案,切忌胡亂猜測,一定要做到有理有據(jù).

7.Dar and I loved to dance.It was probably the first thing we did together,long before we would share our lives.
We grew up in a small Oregon mountain community where dances were held almost every Saturday night.Dar was seventeen and l was thirteen when we first danced.He was one of the best dancers on the floor,and so was I.We always jitterbugged.No slow dancing for us; nothing remotely romantic.
Our fathers would stand along the wall and watch.Every once in a while,Dar's dad would smile a little and say,to no one in particular,but my dad could hear,"Boy,my kid can sure dance."My dad never blinked an eye; he acted like he'd never heard.But a while later he would say,to no one in particular,"That girl of mine can sure dance."
Our dancing together stopped for five years while Dar was in the South Pacific in World War II.When we met again,Dar was twenty-two,and l was eighteen.We began to date and dance again.We were as good together as we remembered,and this time we added slow dancing.
For us,life is a dance,a movement of rhythms,directions,stumbles,missteps,at times slow and precise,or fast and wild and joyous.We did all the steps.
Two nights before Dar died,the family were with us.We all ate dinner together,and Dar sat with us.He hadn't been able to eat for several days.After dinner,I put on a Nat King Cole tape.Dar took me in his arms,weak as he was,and we danced and smiled.No tears for us.We were doing what we had loved to do for more than fifty years.It was our last dance---forever unforgettable.I wouldn't have missed it for the world.

21.The author first danced with Dar whenA.
A.they were still in their teens
B.they began to date each other
C.they began to share their lives
D.Dar returned from the South Pacific
22.What does the author mean by the underlined sentence in paragraph 3?D
A.Her dad didn't like Dar's father.
B.Her dad was not interested in the dance.
C.Her dad was too focused on his daughter.
D.Her dad thought his daughter danced better.
23.How did the author feel when she danced with Dar for the last time?B
A.Regretful.
B.Content.
C.Heart-broken.
D.Concerned.
24.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?B
A.My Unforgettable Dancing Partner
B.Dance Together to the Last
C.My Last Dance with Dar             
D.The Best Dancers.

9.Dubai is a city of big business,expensive hotels,skyscrapers (摩天樓),and shopping malls.In the early 20th century,Dubai was a successful trading port.People from the world stopped in Dubai to do business.But it was still a small city,and most people lived as fishermen and businessmen.Then in 1966,oil was discovered.This brought a lot of money into the area,and soon Dubai began to change.
Today Dubai is one of the world's most important business centers.In fact,each year the city gets its money mainly from business,not oil.
Recently Dubai has attracted more and more visitors from abroad.They come to relax on its beaches,and every year,millions visit just to go shopping!
Dubai is also one of the world's fastest growing cities.Many tall buildings are built in months.The city also has many man-made islands.One of these,the Palm Jumeirah,is like a palm tree and is very beautiful.
The city is still an amazing mix of people from different countries.People from 150countries live and work in Dubai,and foreigners now outnumber Dubai natives by eight to one!
Many people welcome the city's growth.But an increasing number of Dubai natives worry about the speed of change.As a Dubai native says,"We must always remember where we came from.Our kids must know we worked very,very hard to get where we are now,and there's a lot more work to do."

21.Why did people stop in Dubai in the early 20th century?D
A.To relax.  B.To buy oil.  C.To go shopping.  D.To do business.
22.In the last paragraph,what does the underlined part mean?C
A.We should always visit Dubai.
B.We should learn from foreigners.
C.We must always remember our past.
D.We don't have to worry about the future.
23.What's the main idea of the passage?A
A.Dubai is growing very fast.
B.Dubai was a big city before 1966.
C.Many tall buildings are built in months.
D.Many tourists come to relax on Dubai's beaches.
