Shopping for clothes is not the same experience for a man as it is for a woman. A man goes shopping because he needs something. His purpose is settled and decided in advance. He knows what he wants, and his objective is to find it and buy it; the price is a secondary consideration. All men simply walk into a shop and ask the assistant for what they want. If the shop has it in stock, the salesman promptly produces it, and the business of trying it on proceeds at once. All being well, the deal can be and often is completed in less than five minutes, with hardly any chat and to everyone’s satisfaction. For a man, slight problems may begin when the shop does not have what he wants, or does not have exactly what he wants. In that case the salesman, as the name implies, tries to sell the customer something else―he offers the nearest he can to the article required. No good salesman brings out such a substitute bluntly; he does so with skill and polish. “I know this jacket is not the style you want, sir, but would you like to try it for size? It happens to be the color you mentioned.” Few men have patience with this treatment, and the usual response is: “This is the right color and may be the right size, but I should be wasting my time and yours by trying it on.” Now how does a woman go about buying clothes? In almost every respect she does so in the opposite way. Her shopping is not often based on need. She has never fully made up her mind what she wants, and she is only “having a look around”. She is always open to persuasion; indeed she sets great store by what the saleswoman tells her, even by what companions tell her. She will try on any number of things. Uppermost in her mind is the thought of finding something that everyone thinks suits her. Contrary to a lot of jokes, most women have an excellent sense of value when they buy clothes. They are always on the look-out for the unexpected bargain. Faced with a roomful of dresses, a woman may easily spend an hour going from one rail to another, to and fro, often retracing her steps, before selecting the dresses she wants to try on. It is a laborious process, but apparently an enjoyable one. So most dress shops provide chairs for the waiting husbands.1 When a man is buying clothes, ____ .A he chooses things that others recommendB he buys cheap things, regardless of qualityC he buys good things, so long as they are not too expensiveD he does not mind how much he has to pay for the right things2 In commerce a good salesman is one who ____ .A sells something a customer does not particularly wantB always has in stock the thing the customer wantsC can find out quickly the goods requiredD does not waste his time on difficult customers3 What does a man do when he cannot get exactly what he wants?A He buys something that is similar enough to the ideal one.B He usually does not buy anything.C At least two of his requirements must be met before he buys.D So long as the style is right, he buys the thing.4 According to this passage, when shopping for clothes, women ____ .A often buy things without thinkingB seldom buy cheap clothesC welcome suggestions from anyoneD never take any advice5 What is the most obvious difference between men and women shoppers?A The fact that men do not try clothes on in a shop.B Women bargain for their clothes, but men do not.C Women stand up while shopping, but men sit down.D The time they take over buying clothes.

But she does have to drive through very heavy traffic to get here.Q: What does the man imply?答案:A. Jane maybe caught in a traffic jam.解析:本题是推理题,在做题时要注意仔细推敲。女生说:“Jane已经不是第一次迟到让我们等了,我希望她能事先打电话告诉我们一下”,可见女生对Jane迟到的作法是不满的。男生又说:“I agree. But she does have to drive through very heavy traffic to get here.”(我同意。但是她到这里的确要遭受很拥堵的交通。)由此得出,男生对此事的态度是理解或宽容的。Jane可能被堵在半路了。13.M: Congratulations! I heard your baseball team is going to the Middle Atlantic Championship.W: Yeah, we're all working real hard right now!Q: What is the woman's team doing?答案:A. Training for the Mid-Atlantic Championship.解析:对话开头男生提到女生所在的棒球队要参加Mid-Atlantic Championship.女生说:“we're all working real hard right now!”(我们现在正紧锣密鼓地练习呢!)由此可知,女生所在的棒球队正在进行赛前训练。此题还有一个迷惑选项B, Making preparations for a trans-Atlantic trip,必须注意的是:这里并不是准备旅行,而是准备参赛。14.W: John's been looking after his mother in the hospital. She was injured in a car accident two weeks ago and still in critical condition.M: Oh, that's terrible. And you know his father passed away last year.Q: What do we learn about John?答案:D. He has been having a hard time.解析:根据听力原文可知,“John's mother is in the hospital and his father died last year.”(约翰的母亲出车祸住院了,父亲两年前也过世了)由此可见,John的近况还是蛮悲惨的;答案也就显而易见了。15.M: What a boring speaker! I can hardly stay awake.W: Well, I don't know. In fact, I think it's been a long time since I've heard anyone is good.Q: What do we learn from the conversation?答案:D The woman thinks highly of the speaker解析:根据听力原文可知,男生觉得演讲无趣,女生却很淡定地说:“其实我已经很久没有听到那么好的发言了”。由此可见,女生对发言还是很肯定的。选项D中“thinks highly of”即“对…评价高”,故D是正确答案。16.W: I'm having a lot of trouble with logic and it seems my professor can't explain it in a way that makes sense to me.M: You know, there is a tutoring service on campus. I was about to drop statistics before they helped me out.Q: What does the man mean?答案:C. The woman should seek help from tutoring services.解析:首先女生说她逻辑学得很辛苦,接受不了老师的讲课方式也理解不了课程内容。而后男生说学校有辅导班,他在参加之前几乎要挂科了,辅导班帮了他大忙。言下之意是推荐女生也去上辅导班。17.M: This is a stylish overcoat. I saw you wearing it last week, did't I?W: Oh, that wasn't me. That was my sister Jill. She's in your class.Q: What does the woman mean?答案:C. Jill wore the overcoat last week.解析:首先男生问女生上周是否穿过拉风外套,然后女生说:“ That was my sister Jill. She's in your class.”(那是我姐姐Jill,她和你同班)也就是说男生很有可能看到的那个穿着拉风外套的人是女生的姐姐Jill。18.M: Jane, suppose you lost all your money while taking a vacation overseas, what would you do?W: Well, I guess I'd sell my watch or computer or do some odd jobs till I could afford a return plane ticket.Q: What are the speakers talking about?答案:B. An imaginary situation.解析:根据原文录音可知,对话开头男生讲到:“Jane, suppose you lost all your money while taking a vacation overseas, what would you do? ”这里的"suppose"表明“假定、料想”由此可见,两人谈论的是一个虚拟场景。Conversation One听力原文M: Hello, professor Johnson.W: Hello, Tony. So what shall we work on today?M: Well, the problem is that this writing assignment isn't coming out right. What I thought I was writing on was to talk about what particular sport means to me when I participate in,W: What sport did you choose?M: I decided to write about cross-country skiing.W: What are you going to say about skiing?M: That's the problem. I thought I would write about how peaceful it is to be out in the country.W: So why is that a problem?M: As I start describing how quiet it is to be out in the woods. I keep mentioning how much effort it takes to keep going. Cross-country skiing isn't as easy as some people think. It takes a lot of energy, but that's not part of my paper. So I guess I should leave it out. But now I don't know how to explain that feeling of peacefulness without explaining how hard you have to work for it. It all fits together. It's not like just sitting down somewhere and watching the clouds roll by. That's different.W: Then you'll have to include that in your point. The peacefulness of cross-country skiing is the kind you earn by effort. Why leave that out? Part of your point you knew before hand but part you discovered as you wrote. That's common, right?M: Yeah, I guess so.Q19: What is the topic of the man's writing assignment?C) Pain and pleasure in sportsQ20: What problem does the man have while working on his paper?D) He can't decide whether to include the effort part of skiing.Q21: What does the woman say is common in writing papers?A. New ideas come up as you write.

Document _____with chemicals will not become yellow with age.A. treatingB. treatsC. be treatedD. treated

You never see him, but they're with you every time you fly. They record where you are going, how fast you're traveling and whether everything on your airplane is functioning normally. Their ability to withstand almost any disaster makes them seem like something out of a comic book. They're known as the black box. When planes fall from the sky, as a Yemeni airliner did on its way to Comoros Islands in the India ocean June 30, 2009, the black box is the best bet for identifying what went wrong. So when a French submarine (潜水艇) detected the device's homing signal five days later, the discovery marked a huge step toward determining the cause of a tragedy in which 152 passengers were killed. In 1958, Australian scientist David Warren developed a flight-memory recorder that would track basic information like altitude and direction. That was the first mode for a black box, which became a requirement on all U. S. commercial flights by 1960. Early models often failed to withstand crashes, however, so in 1965 the device was completely redesigned and moved to the rear of the plane – the area least subject to impact – from its original position in the landing wells (起落架舱). The same year, the Federal Aviation Authority required that the boxes, which were never actually black, be painted orange or yellow to aid visibility. Modern airplanes have two black boxes: a voice recorder, which tracks pilots' conversations, and a flight-data recorder, which monitors fuel levels, engine noises and other operating functions that help investigators reconstruct the aircraft's final moments. Placed in an insulated (隔绝的) case and surrounded by a quarter-inch-thick panels of stainless steel, the boxes can withstand（抵挡）massive force and temperatures up to 2,000℉. When submerged（潜入水中）, they're also able to emit signals from depths of 20,000 ft. Experts believe the boxes from Air France Flight 447, which crashed near Brazil on June 1,2009, are in water nearly that deep, but statistics say they're still likely to turn up. In the approximately 20 deep-sea crashes over the past 30 years, only one plane's black boxes were never recovered.(1).What does the author say about the black box? A.It ensures the normal functioning of an airplane.B.The idea for its design comes from a comic book.C.Its ability to ward off disasters is incredible.D.It is an indispensable device on an airplane.(2). What information could be found from the black box on the Yemeni airliner? A.Data for analyzing the cause of the crash.B.The total number of passengers on board.C.The scene of the crash and extent of the damage.D.Homing signals sent by the pilot before the crash.(3). Why was the black box redesigned in 1965? A.New materials became available by that time.B.Too much space was needed for its installation.C.The early models often got damaged in the crash.D.The early models didn't provide the needed data.(4). What do we know about the black boxes from Air France Flight 447? A.There is still a good chance of their being recovered.B.There is an urgent need for them to be reconstructed.C.They have stopped sending homing signals.D.They were destroyed somewhere near Brazil.

The Bonobos shop on lower Fifth Avenue, in Manhattan, sits in a row of familiar fashion brands, including J. Crew. Zara and Gap. As at those stores, shoppers at Bonobos can survey racks of clothes, try on this shirt and those trousers, then decide which items to purchase. Unlike in those stores, stoppers at Bonobos may not buy any clothes to take home. When Bonobos first tried this idea, in 2011, it seemed like a joke. The company now has 20 such shops, from Texas to California, and plans to open at least seven more this year.Bricks-and-mortar stores are in the middle of an identity crisis. The growing threat from online shopping has encouraged some physical retailers to do more than just sell goods. Lululemon attracts shoppers with both yoga clothes and yoga classes, Louis Vuitton displays tine art beside its dresses. Among the most interesting models to emerge, however, are chains such as Bonobos, whose outlets have no stock to sell. Until recently, this business model was largely restricted to sellers of big, non-portable things like furniture: people like to examine sofas before they buy them. but they do not fit neatly into shopping bags. Now, clothing retailers are seeing the downsides of conventional shops,too.If retailer stores and sells goods in the same place, it must rent space, often in an expensive central location, for the store room as well as the shop floor. Staff may be needed to unpack deliveries overnight, which raises costs further. Employees spend much of the day restocking shelves, which means less attention paid to customers. Companies can never predict perfectly which items will sell in which shops. Inevitably some clothes remain unsold for too long, and must be marked down. which squeezes margins.Online-only shops have less of a problem with this sort of thing, but there are still many consumers who like to check the fit and the feel of a piece of clothing before buying. So Paul Evans and Jack Erwin, two young shoe companies, have showrooms in New York where shoppers can inspect loafers (便鞋) and brogues (皮鞋), then order them online. Warby Parker does the same for glasses.The most prominent American example is Bonobos, which began as an online-only men's retailer before realizing customers wanted shops, too. Its outlets house many styles and many sizes, but not every style in every size. Salesmen have the sole job of helping each shopper find clothes he likes, identify the proper fit and order the clothes online. "We do a better job of selling clothes because we don't stock the clothes." Boasts Andy Dunn, the firm's founder. Bonobos need not guess which trousers will sell at which store. All the stock is at one central warehouse.In Asia, Zalore offers a variation on this theme. The four-year-old online retailer displays its clothes in pop-up showrooms in Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Indonesia and the Philippines. Such temporary installations, explains Tito Costa, Zalora's marketing chief, are "a way to build confidence either in a new way of shopping or in a young brand." Shoppers can try on Zalora's clothes, chat with its stylists and order items online, either from computer stations or by scanning a QR code with their phones, using Zalora's app.It is no coincidence that the companies that are testing out such showrooms began online. Big established retailers are unlikely to change stores to showrooms, at least in the foreseeable future, because they can satisfy a potential customer by making her get a Zara dress in the afternoon and go dancing in it that same evening. Delivering to individuals rather than shipping in bulk to stores would also require established retailers to upend their distribution networks, says Neil Saunders of Conlumino, a consulting firm. But for many younger retailers, selling online and in showrooms may be the future, not least because showrooms are cheaper to run than conventional shops. That means they can open more of them, more quickly.Some familiar fashion brands are mentioned in Paragraph 1 to show that .A. they find a large scale is hard to achieveB. competitions between Bonobos and fashion brands is getting beyond a jokeC. they win the trust of consumers by their good servicesD. Bonobos' operating system differs from theirs
