答案解析:
1.观点态度题。根据第l段的incredibly,impossible,unreasonably,impracticably等词,可以看出作者对时装杂志上的模特儿及他们的发式和服饰持不认可的态度。
2.细节判断题。第l段最后两个问句表明了作者认为衣服应该是comfortably durable,而不应该一味追求new或者flesh,A正确。
3.推理判断题。本题考查复合句的理解。第2段首句提到时尚一年一年地变化,因此很多人可以赚大把的钱,后面再具体说明商人是如何通过时尚 赚钱的。第2句表明,时尚业能使人们觉得需要某种东西,也就是选项B所说的。选项A在文中并无提及,选项C和D的陈述与本段的倒数第2句不符。
