37. To the writer, the fact that women alter their old-fashioned dresses is seen as _________.
A) a waste of money B) a waste of time
C) an expression of taste D) an expression of creativity
注:通过alter 一词定位于第二段。
Changing fashions are nothing more than the intentional creation of waste. Many women spend vast sums of money each year to replace clothes that have hardly been worn. Women who cannot afford to throw away clothing in this way, waste hours of their time altering the dresses they have. Skirts are lengthened or shortened; neck-lines are lowered or raised, and so on.
38. The writer would be less critical if fashion designers placed more stress on the _________of clothing.
A) cost B) appearance
C) comfort D) suitability
注:1.place stress on 重视。
2.本句为虚拟语气,说明应该是设计师没有重视而被作者批判的东西。反过来想,定位第三段第二句,考得是列举现象。
No one can claim that the fashion industry contributes anything really important to society. Fashion designers are rarely concerned with vital things like warmth, comfort and durability . They are only interested in outward appearance and they take advantage of the fact that women will put up with any amount of discomfort, as long as they look right. There can hardly be a man who hasnt at some time in his life smiled at the sight of a woman shaking in a thin dress on a winter day, or delicately picking her way through deep snow in high-heeled shoes.
39. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A) New fashions in clothing are created for the commercial exploitation of women.
B) The constant changes in womens clothing reflect their strength of character.
C) The fashion industry makes an important contribution to society.
D) Fashion designs should not be encouraged since they are only welcomed by women.
注:1.exploitation 剥削,探索。
2.A 选项为文章首句前半句的同义改写。
3.B 陈述句表示确定语气,与文章中疑问句的不确定语气不同;C 项与文中意思相反,D 选项中only 绝对化语气词。
