We live today indebted to McCardell, Cashin, Hawes, Wilkins, and

Maxwell, and other women who liberated American fashion from the confines of

Parisian design. Independence came in tying, wrapping, storing, harmonizing, and

rationalizing that wardrobe. These designers established the modern dress code,

letting playsuits and other activewear outfits suffice for casual clothing, allowing

pants to enter the wardrobe, and prizing rationalism and versatility in dress, in

contradiction to dressing for an occasion or allotment of the day. Fashion in America

was logical and answerable to the will of the women who wore it. Implicitly or

explicitly, American fashion addressed a democracy, whereas traditional Paris-based

fashion was prescriptive and imposed on women, willing or not. In an earlier time,

American fashion had also followed the dictates of Paris, or even copied and pirated

specific French designs. Designer sportswear was not modeled on that of Europe, as

“modern art” would later be; it was genuinely invented and developed in America. Its

designers were not high-end with supplementary lines. The design objective and the

business commitment were to sportswear, and the distinctive traits were

problem-solving ingenuity and realistic lifestyle applications. Ease of care was most

important; summer dresses and outfits, in particular, were chiefly cotton, readily

capable of being washed and pressed at home. Clothing was simple, practical, and

accessible, as the modern woman depended on no personal maid to dress her.

American designers prized resourcefulness and the freedom of the women who wore

the clothing. Many have argued that the women designers of this time were able

to project their own clothing values into a new style. Of course, much of this

argument in the 1930s -40s was advanced because there was little or no experience in

justifying apparel (服装) on the basis of utility. If Paris was cast aside, the tradition of

beauty was also to some degree slighted. Designer sportswear would have to be

verified by a standard other than that of pure beauty; the emulation of a designer’s life

in designer sportswear was a crude version of this relationship. The consumer was

ultimately to be mentioned as well, especially by the likes of Dorothy Shaver, who

could point to the sales figures at Lord & Taylor. Could utility alone justify the

new ideas of the American designers? Fashion is often regarded as a pursuit of beauty,

and some cherished fashion’s trivial relationship to the fine arts. What the designers of

American sportswear proved was that fashion is a genuine design art, answering to the

demanding needs of service. Of course these practical, insightful designers have

determined the course of late twentieth-century fashion. They were the pioneers of

gender equity, in their useful, adaptable clothing, which was both made for the masses

and capable of self-expression.

1. What contribution did the women designers make to American fashion?

A.They made some improvements on the traditional Parisian design.

B.They formulated a dress code with distinctive American features.

C.They came up with a brandnew set of design procedures.

D.They made originality a top priority in their fashion design.

正确答案:B

解析:细节题。第一段第一句指出,我们今天能充分享受人生是受惠于麦卡德尔、卡辛、霍伊斯、威尔金斯和马克斯韦尔,以及其他把美国时尚从巴黎设计的范围中解放出来的女性。第一段第三句指出,这些设计师们建立了现代的着装规范。由此可知,女性设计师创立了具有独特美国特色的现代的着装规范,故答案为B。第一段最后一句指出,美国的时尚表达了一种民主,而传统的巴黎时尚则是对女性的规范和强加,不管其愿意与否,这说明美国时尚已经独立出来,而并非是对传统巴黎时尚的改进,故排除A项。C、D项原文均未提及,故排除。

2. What do we learn about American designer sportswear?

A.It imitated the European model.

B.It laid emphasis on women’s beauty.

C.It represented genuine American art.

D.It was a completely new invention.

正确答案:D

解析:细节题。第二段第二句指出,就像后来的“现代艺术”一样,名牌运动服不是仿照欧洲的,它是真正在美国创造和发展的。也就是说,它是一个全新的发明,D项与原文相符,故答案为D。A项与第二句强调的不是仿照欧洲的设计意思相悖,故排除。原文并未提及女性的美,故排除B项。第二段第二句指出,名牌运动服不是仿照欧洲的,它是真正在美国创造和发展的,而并不是说它代表了真正的美国艺术,故排除C项。

3. What characterized American designer sportswear?

A.Pursuit of beauty.

B.Decorative clothing.

C.Ease of care.

D.Fabric quality.

正确答案:C

解析:细节题。第二段倒数第三句指出,易于护理是最重要的:尤其是夏季服装主要是棉质的,很容易在家里洗熨,故答案为C。最后一段第二句指出,时尚通常被认为是对美的追求,但这并不是美国名牌运动服的特征,故排除A项。B、D项原文均未提及,故排除。

4. What occurred in the design of women’s apparel in America during the 1930s

-40s?

A.A shift of emphasis from beauty to utility.

The public must be able to understand the basics of science to make

informed decisions. Perhaps the most dramatic example of the negative consequences

of poor communication between scientists and the public is the issue of climate

change, where a variety of factors, not the least of which is a breakdown in the

transmission of fundamental climate data to the general public, has contributed to

widespread mistrust and misunderstanding of scientists and their research. The

issue of climate change also illustrates how the public acceptance and understanding

of science (or the lack of it) can influence governmental decision-making with regard

to regulation, science policy and research funding. However, the importance of

effective communication with a general audience is not limited to hot issues like

It is doing something better than other people that makes us unique. Yet a surprising

number of people still see individuality as a surface thing. They wear bright clothes, dye their hair

strange colors and decorate their skin with tattoos (文身) to make some kind of social statement.

The whole purpose of individuality is excellence. The people who comprehend the simple

principle of being unique through performance make our entire political and economic system

work. Those who invent, who improve, who know more about a subject than other people do,

and who take something that doesn#39;t work and make it work—these people are the very soul

of capitalism.

Passage One

Questions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage.

Caught in a squeeze between the health needs of aging

populations on one hand and the financial crisis on the other,

governments everywhere are looking for ways to slow the growth

in health-care spending. Increasingly, they are looking to the

generic-drugs (普通药物) industry as a savior. In November

Japan's finance ministry issued a report complaining that the

country's use of generics was less than a third of that in

America or Britain. In the same month Canada's competition

watchdog criticized the country's pharmacies for failing to

pass on the savings made possible by the use of generic drugs.

That greed, it reckoned, costs taxpayers nearly C$1 billion a

year.

Then on November 28th the European Commission issued the

Economic inequality is the “defining challenge of our time,” President

Barack Obama declared in a speech last month to the Center for American Progress.

Inequality is dangerous, he argued, not merely because it doesn’t look good to have a

large gap between the rich and the poor, but because inequality itself destroys upward

mobility, making it harder for the poor to escape from poverty. “Increased inequality

and decreasing mobility pose a fundamental threat to the American Dream,” he said.

Obama is only the most prominent public figure to declare inequality Public Enemy

No. 1 and the greatest threat to reducing poverty in America. A number of prominent

economists have also argued that it’s harder for the poor to climb the economic ladder

today because the rungs(横档)in that ladder have grown farther apart. For all the

The Paris climate agreement finalised in December last year heralded a new

era for climate action. For the first time, the world’s nations agreed to keep global

warming well below 2℃. This is vital for climate-vulnerable nations. Fewer than

4% of countries are responsible for more than half of the world’s greenhouse gas

emissions. In a study published in Nature Scientific Reports, we reveal just how deep

this injustice runs. Developed nations such as Australia, the United States,

Canada, and European countries are essentially climate “free-riders” : causing the

majority of the problems through high greenhouse gas emissions, while incurring few

of the costs such as climate change’s impact on food and water. In other words, a few

countries are benefiting enormously from the consumption of fossil fuels, while at the
