Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.
If women are mercilessly exploited year after year, they have only themselves to blame. Because they tremble at the thought of being seen in public in clothes that are out of fashion, they are always taken advantage of by the designers and the big stores. Clothes which have been worn only a few times have to be put aside because of the change of fashion. When you come to think of it, only a woman is capable of standing in front of a wardrobe(衣柜) packed full of clothes and announcing sadly that she has nothing to wear.
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; necklines are lowered or raised, and so on.
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(耐用). 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 hasn't 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.
When comparing men and women in the matter of fashion, the conclusions to be drawn are obvious. Do the constantly changing fashions of women's clothes, one wonders, reflect basic qualities of inconstancy and instability? Men are too clever to let themselves be cheated by fashion designers. Do their unchanging styles of dress reflect basic qualities of stability and reliability? That is for you to decide.

A) by mercilessly exploiting women workers in the clothing industry
B) because they are capable of predicting new fashions
C) by constantly changing the fashions in women's clothing
D) because they attach great importance to quality in women's clothing
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
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
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 women's 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.
40. By saying "the conclusions to be drawn are obvious" (Lines 1-2, Para. 4) the writer means that .
A) women's inconstancy in their choice of clothing is often laughed at
B) women are better able to put up with discomfort
C) men are also exploited greatly by fashion designers

The more important he was or thought he was, the bigger the wig he wore. Some wigs were so large that they covered the man's shoulders or back. Today the expression "big wig" is used to make fun of a person who feels important. People never tell someone he is a big wig. They only use the expression behind his back. "Big wheel" is another way to describe an important person. A big wheel may be the head of a company, a political leader, a famous movie star. They are big wheels because they are powerful. What they do affects many people. Big wheel gives the orders and other people carry them out.
As in many machines, a big wheel makes the little wheel turn. "Big wheel" became a popular expression after World War Ⅱ. It probably comes from an expression used for many Years by people who fit parts of the cars and trucks. They said a person whirled a big wheel if he was important or had influence.
The top of something is the highest part of something. So it is not surprising that top is part of another expression that describes an important person. The expression is "top banana". A top banana is the leading person in a comedy show.
The funniest comedian is called the "top banana". The next is second banana, and so on. Why a "banana"? A comedy act in earlier days often included the part where one of the comedians would hit others over the head with a soft object. The object was shaped like the yellow food — the banana. "Top banana" is still used mainly in show business. Yet the expression can also be used to describe a top person in any area,
A "kingpin" is another word for an important person. The expression comes from the game of bowling. The kingpin is the No. one pin. If it is hit correctly by the bowling ball, the kingpin will make all the other nine pins fall. And that is the object of the game. So the most important person in a project or business is the kingpin. If the kingpin is removed, the project or business is likely to fail. Kingpin is often used to describe an important criminal or the leader of a criminal gang. A newspaper may report, for example, that the police have arrested the suspected kingpin of a car stealing operation.
This passage is mainly about______.
A.important people
B.how to describe important people
C.important expressions
D.expressions for important people

根据以下材料,回答题
The Sahara Desert
The Sahara Desert is the largest desert in the world. It stretches across Africa from Senegal to Egypt. The Sahara Desert is an unfriendly environment. During the day it"s very hot, and at night it"s sometimes very cold. It is also difficult to find water in the Sahara.
In 2006, Kevin Lin, Ray Zahab, and Charlie Engle decided to do something very difficult.
They made the decision to run across the Sahara Desert 4,300 miles (6,920krn). It seemed impossible to do, but they wanted to try. The three men liked to test themselves, and this would be a very big test.
On the morning of November 2, Kevin, Ray, and Charlie started their trip across the Sahara.
Every morning they began running at 5:00. At 11 a.m. they stopped and rested until 5 p.m. Then they ran again until 9:30 in the evening. Each day they ran about 40 miles (64 km). Every day it was the same thing. They got up and ran. They listened to music on their iPods, and they ran and ran.
Kevin, Ray, and Charlie needed to eat a lot of food during their trip. Most people need about 2,000 calories of food each day. Kevin, Ray, and Charlie needed between 6,000 and 9,000 calories every day. That"s a lot of food! They also needed to drink a lot of water.
The three men had some problems on their trip, and many times they wanted to quit and go home. It was often very hot (140~F/60~C) during the day, and the heat made them sick. Their legs and feet hurt. Sometimes it was very windy, and they couldn"t see. One time they got lost. But they didn"t quit. After 111 days, Kevin, Ray; and Charlie successfully finished their trip across the Sahara Desert. They hugged each other and put their hands in the water of the Red Sea. Then they ran to a hotel to take a long shower.
It‘s not always hot in the Sahara Desert. 查看材料

A major sociological(社会学的)theory known as symbolic interactionism(符
号互动论)offers some important clarification of how men and women are taught to fill different roles in society.The key concept in symbolic interactionism is that communication makes a big difference in behavior:people act on the basis of messages they receive from others,and how they understand those messages. This can be seen in a concept developed by sociologist Charles Horton Cooley known as the looking-glass self.
By the looking-glass self,Cooley meant the self-image that each of us develops according to the messages we receive from others;we think and behave according to our understanding of those messages.If, for example,a young girl is repeatedly told that she is pretty, she will come to believe that(1)she is in fact pretty,and(2)being pretty is an important thing in her life.Similarly,if she is told that she is not good(or not expected to be good)at certain things(such as math) she will come to believe that she is not good at such things and would better off working at things she can be successful at.The likely product is a young woman who devotes a great deal of attention to her appearance,regards being pretty as a key to success in life,and who is intimidated by anything involving numbers.
Since we know that young girls are given messages like these,and that young boys are given different messages,we can see a good part of how sex roles are taught.There is little or no evidence of differences in what young girls and young girls and boys can do,but the older children become,the greater the differences in the areas in which boys and girls are likely to stand out.
26.Symbolic interactionism helps to explain______.
A.how to make a difference in people’s social behavior
B.how to make people understand different social roles
C.how men and women learn to communicate in society
D.how men and women learn to take different social roles
27.The "looking-glass self" concept offers a clue as to______.
A.whether one can improve one’s self-image
B.whether one is likely to succeed in an area
C.how one receives different social messages
D.how social messages shape one’s self-image
28.The example of the young girl shows that______.
A.women care more about appearance
B.women are inferior to men in numbers
C.people are liable to social expectations
D.people regard looks as a key to Success
29.The phrase “better off’(para.2)probably means——-
A.more comfortable
B.more dependable
C.more respectable
D.more reasonable
30.Boys and girls are likely to stand out in different areas______.
A.as they advance in age
B.as they grow in wisdom
C.as their interests diversify
D.as their capacities develop

Suppose a man wanted to reach a distant star. Even if he traveled his whole life, he would have to move faster than the speed of light. Nothing can move that fast except light itself.
Strange things happen to an object when it moves rapidly. The object weighs more. An object moving at 86 percent of the speed of light is twice as heavy as it is at rest. A stick appears shorter. A clock runs more slowly. A man would not age so fast as he would on the earth.
Light travels more than 186, 000 miles a second, or about 11 million miles a minute. In one year, light travels six trillion(万亿) miles. That great distance is called a light-year. It is used to measure distances in space.
The star closest to our sun is Alpha Centrauri (半人马座a星). It is more than four lightyears away. If one traveled at the speed of light, he could make a round trip to Alpha Centauri in nine years. But, even at that speed, he could not reach Alcaid (北斗星)in the handle of the Big Dipper. A one-way journey to Alcaid would take almost 200 years!
Why do we measure the distance in light-years instead of miles?
A.Units of light-years sound better.
B.Using light-years reduced the number of figures used.
C.We used to measure distance in light-years long ago.
D.We do not make mistakes when we use light-years.
