Text1
France,which prides itself as the global innovator of fashion, has decided its fashion industryhas lost an absolute right to define physical beauty for women. Its lawmakers gave preliminaryapproval last week to a law that would make it a crime to employ ultra-thin models on runways.The parliament also agreed to ban websites that “incite excessive thinness” by promoting extremedieting.
Such measures have a couple of uplifting motives. They suggest beauty should not be definedby looks that end up impinging on health. That’s a start. And the ban on ultra-thin models seems togo beyond protecting models from starving themselves to death –as some have done. It tells thefashion industry that it must take responsibility for the signal it sends women, especially teenagegirls, about the social tape-measure they must use to determine their individual worth.
The bans, if fully enforced, would suggest to women (and many men) that they should not letothers be arbiters of their beauty. And perhaps faintly, they hint that people should look to intangiblequalities like character and intellect rather than dieting their way to size zero or wasp-waistphysiques.
The French measures, however, rely too much on severe punishment to change a culture thatstill regards beauty as skin-deep-and bone-showing. Under the law, using a fashion model that doesnot meet a government-defined index of body mass could result in a $85,000 fine and six months inprison.
The fashion industry knows it has an inherent problem in focusing on material adornment andidealized body types. In Denmark, the United States, and a few other countries, it is trying to setvoluntary standards for models and fashion images that rely more on peer pressure for enforcement.
In contrast to France’s actions, Denmark’s fashion industry agreed last month on rules andsanctions regarding the age, health, and other characteristics of models. The newly revised DanishFashion Ethical Charter clearly states:”We are aware of and take responsibility for the impact thefashion industry has on body ideals, especially on young people”. The charter’s main tool ofenforcement is to deny access for designers and modeling agencies to Copenhagen Fashion Week(CFW), which is run by the Danish Fashion Institute. But in general it relies on a name-and -shamemethod of compliance.
Relying on ethical persuasion rather than law to address the misuse of body ideals may be thebest step. Even better would be to help elevate notions of beauty beyond the material standards of aparticular industry.21. According to the first paragraph,what would happen in France?【A】Physical beauty would be redefined.【B】New runways would be constructed.【C】Websites about dieting would thrive.【D】The fashion industry would decline.22. The phrase “impinging on”(Line 2,Para.2) is closest in meaning to【A】heightening the value of【B】indicating the state of【C】losing faith in【D】doing harm to23. Which of the following is true of the fashion industry?【A】The French measures have already failed.

【B】New standards are being set in Denmark.【C】Models are no longer under peer pressure.【D】Its inherent problems are getting worse.24. A designer is most likely to be rejected by CFW for【A】pursuing perfect physical conditions【B】caring too much about model’s character.【C】showing little concern for health factors【D】setting a high age threshold for models.25. Which of the following may be the best title of the text?【A】AChallenge to the Fashion Industry’s Body Ideals【B】ADilemma for the Starving models in France【C】Just Another Round of Struggle for Beauty【D】The Great Threats to the Fashion Industry21 答案 APhysical beauty would be redefined解析:这是一道细节题,根据 France定位到第一段第一句,主干成分为 France has lost an
absolute right to define physical beauty。此外第二段第二句 They suggest beauty should not bedefine by looks…故而 A physical beauty would be redefined为同义替换,即为正确答案。
22 答案 D doing harm to解析:此题为词义题。定位到第二段第二句 They suggest beauty should not be defined by
looks that end up impinging on health. 根据 end up 可以看出 beauty should not be defined bylooks 和 that end up impinging on health为顺承关系,所以“改变人们对美不仅仅是外表的定义”可以结束对健康的危害。故而可以推知 doing harm to是正确答案。
23 答案 B New Standards are being set in Denmark解析:此题是正误判断题。根据第五段第二句话 In Denmark,…it is trying to set voluntary
standards for models and fashion…可知 B选项 New standards are being set in Denmark是其同义替换。
24 答案 C showing little concern for health factors解析:细节题。一个设计师很可能因为什么原因被 CFW拒绝,根据关键词可回到文中定
位至倒数第二段,首句说丹麦的时尚界就有关模特的年龄,健康及其他特性的内容达成一致
意见,切一项新法案也明确规定,他们已经意识到时尚界对于人们尤其是年轻人的身体健康
所带来的影响,并且该对此负责,接着下一句就说,这一法规的执行方式就是拒绝一些设计
师,因为可以推断设计师很可能因为不考虑身体健康因素而被 CFW拒绝。
25 答案 D A challenge to the Fashion Industry’s Body Ideals解析:主旨题。本文从首段就开始阐述法国的观点,即时尚界已经失去了定义女性身体之
Text 2For the first time in history more people live in towns than in the country. In Britain this has had acurious result. While polls show Britons rate”the countryside”alongside the royal family,Shakespeare and the National Health Serivce (NHS) as what makes them proudest of their country,this has limited political support.
A century ago Octavia Hill Launched the National Trust not to rescue stylish houses but tosave“the beauty of natural places for everyone forever”. It was specifically to provide citydwellers with spaces for leisure where they could experience“a refreshing air .”Hill’s pressure laterled to creation of national parks and green belts. They don’t make countryside any more,and everyyear concrete consumes more of it . It needs constant guardianship.
At the next election none of the big parties seem likely to endorse this sentiment. Theconservatives’planning reform explicitly gives rural development priority over conservation, evenauthorising“off-plan”building where local people might object. The concept of sustainabledevelopment has been defined as profitable. Labour likewise wants to discontinue local planningwhere councils oppose development. The Liberal Democrats are silent. Only Ukip, sensing itschance,has sided with those pleading for a more considered approach to using green land. ItsCampaign to Protect Rural England struck terror into many local conservative parties.The sensible place to build new houses, factories and offices is where people are, in cities andtowns where infrastructure is in place. The London agents Stirling Ackroyd recently identifiedenough sites for half a million houses in the London area alone,with no intrusion on green belt.What is true of London is even truer of the provinces.The idea that”housing crisis”equals“concreted meadows” is pure lobby talk. The issue is not theneed for more houses but, as always,where to put them. Under lobby pressure,George Osbornefavours rural new-build against urban renovation and renewal. He favours out-of-town shoppingsites against high streets . This is not a free market but a biased one. Rural towns and villages havegrown and will always grow. They do so best where building sticks to their edges and respects theircharacter. We do not ruin urban Development should be planned, not let rip. After the Netherlands,Britain is Europe’s most crowed country. Half a century of town and country planning has enabledit to retain an enviable rural coherence, while still permitting low-density urban living. There is nodoubt of the alternative --- the corrupted landscapes of southern Portugal, Spain or Ireland.Avoiding this rather than promoting it should unite the left and right of the political spectrum.
26. Britain’s public sentiment about the countryside[A] has brought much benefit to the NHS.[B] didn’t start till the Shakespearean age.[C] is fully backed by the royal family.[D] is not well reflected in politics.
27. According to Paragraph 2,the achievements of the National Trust are now being[A] gradually destroyed.[B] effectively reinforced.[C] properly protected.[D] largely overshadowed.

28. which of the following can be inferred from Paragraph 3?[A] Ukip may gain from its support for rural conservation.[B] the Conservatives may abandon ”off -plan“ building.[C] the Liberal Democrats are losing political influence.[D] labour is under attack for opposing development.
29. the author holds that George Osborne’s preference[A] reveals a strong prejudice against urban areas.[B] shows his disregard for the character of rural areas.[C] stresses the necessity of easing the housing crisis.[D] highlights his firm stand against lobby pressure.
30. In the last paragraph,the author shows his appreciation of[A] the size of population in Britain.[B the enviable urban lifestyle in Britain.[C] the town-and-country planning in Britain.[D] the political life in today is Britain.26 答案 D is not well reflected in politics解析:细节题。精读题干,划出关键词。根据题干回到原文精确定位到首段最后一句,该
句中的 polls民意调查对应题干中的 public sentiment,定位答案处为“this has limited politicalsupport”,意思为这在政治支持方面是有限的。与 D选项“在政治上没有得到很好的反响”为同义替换。
27 答案 D largely overshadowed解析:细节题。根据题干,题干中出现大写 the National Trust,定位到第二段首句 the National
“There is on and only one social responsibility of business,” wrote Milton Friedman, a Nobelprize-winning economist, “That is, to use its resources and engage in activities designed to increaseits profits.” But even if you accept Friedman’s premise and regard corporate social responsibility(CSR) policies as a waste of shareholders’ money, things may not be absolutely clear-cut. Newresearch suggests that CSR may create monetary value for companies-at least when they areprosecuted for corruption.
The largest firms in America and Britain together spend more than $15 billion a year on CSR,according to an estimate by EPG, a consulting firm. This could add value to their businesses inthree ways. First, consumers may take CSR spending as a “signal” that a company’s products are ofhigh quality. Second, customers may be willing to buy a company’s products as an indirect way todonate to the good causes it helps. And third, through a more diffuse “halo effect,” whereby its gooddeeds earn it greater consideration from consumers and others.
Previous studies on CSR have had trouble differentiating these effects because consumers can be affected by all three. Al recent study attempts to separate them by looking at bribery prosecutions under America’s Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA). It argues that since prosecutors do not consumea company’s products as part of their investigations, they could be influenced only by the halo effect.
The study found that, among prosecuted firms, those with the most comprehensive CSR programmes tended to get more lenient penalties,. Their analysis ruled out the possibility that it was firm’spolitical influence, rather than theirCSR stand, that accounted for the leniency: Companies that contributed more to political campaignsdid not receive lower fines.
In all, the study concludes that whereas prosecutors should only evaluate a case based on its merits,they do seem to be influenced by a company’s record in CSR. “We estimate that either eliminating asubstantial labour-rights concern , such as child labour, or increasing corporate giving byabout20%results in fines that generally are 40% lower than the typical punishment for bribing foreign officials”, says one researcher.
Researchers admit that their study does not answer the question of how much businesses ought to spend on CSR. Nor does it reveal how much companies are banking on the halo effect, rather than theother possible benefits, when they decide their do-gooding policies. But at least they have demonstrated that when companies get into trouble with the law, evidence of good character can win them les

31.The author views Milton Friedman’s statement about CSR with【A】tolerance.【B】skepticism.【C】uncertainty.【D】approval.32.According to Paragraph 2,CSR helps a company by【A】winning trust from consumers.【B】guarding it against malpractices.【C】protecting it from being defamed.【D】raising the quality of its products.33. The expression “more lenient ”(line 2,para.4)is closest in meaning to【A】more effective【B】less controversial【C】less severe【D】more lasting34. When prosecutors evaluate a case, a company’s CSR regard【A】has an impact on their decision【B】comes across as reliable evidence【C】increases the chance of being penalized【D】constitutes part of the investigation
35.Which of the following is true of CSR, according to the last paragraph?【A】 Its negative effects on businesses are often overlooked.【B】 The necessary amount of companies’ spending on it is unknown.【C】 Companies’ financial capacity for it has been overestimated.【D】 It has brought much benefit to the banking industry.
31 答案 B Skepticism解析:作者观点态度题。题干问的是作者对有关 CSR方面Milton Friedman的说法是什么
态度。根据大写Milton Friedman这个人定位到定位到首段首句。注意题干问的是作者的看法,因此定位到后一句 but转折处。转折处的主题句式“things may not absolutely clear-cut”,作者持的是否定态度,选择答案 B。C选项是作者态度不明确,不能选择。
32 答案 Awinning trust from consumers解析:根据题干找到第二段.根据第二段内容,CSR could add value to their business in three
ways. 从而定位下面三点。First后面出现了 high quality,但是它是在从句中,从句修饰"signal",而本句谓语动词是 take,与 D中 raising 并不是同义词,故排除。Second,和 third 都与消费者购买心态有关,和 A选项 winning trust from consumers 相对应。而 B,C选项的 malpractices和 defamed在原文中并未出现,且没有同义词,故排除。
33 答案 C less severe
11
让有理想的人更加卓越!
解析:根据题干找到第四段对应处。可见题干的 more lenient 是作为修饰 penalties(惩罚)的,故推测本句在讨论 CSR 和 penalties 有什么联系。而本段与惩罚相关的词只有最后一个词 fines(罚金),修饰它的形容词是 lower, 故可推测 more lenient 与降低惩罚有关,只有 C选项满足。
34 答案 A has an impact on their decision解析:题干中问的是 CSR record 与 prosecutors evaluate a case 的关系,根据题干内容到
对应点:第五段第一句。本句说,...they do seem to be influenced by a company's recore in CSR.这里的 be influenced 与 A选项 has an impact 对应,故选 A. 而 B选项中的 reliable evidence,C 选项中的 the chance of being penalized 在原文中没有体现。D选项中的 investigation 与题干中的 When prosecutors evaluate a case 明显对应不上,故不予考虑。
35 答案 B The necessary amount of companies’ spending on it is unknown解析:该题是一道判断题,题干问的是有关 CSR哪个是对的。先根据 CSR回到最后一段,
Text 4There will eventually come a day when The New York Times ceases to publish stories on
newsprint. Exactly when that day will be is a matter of debate. “Sometime in the future” , thepaper’s publisher said back in 2010.
Nostalgia for ink on paper and the rustle of pages aside, there’s plenty of incentive to ditch print.The infrastructure required to make a physical newspaper — printing presses, delivery trucks —isn’t just expensive; it’s excessive at a time when online-only competitors don’t have the same setof financial constraints. Readers are migrating away from print away. And though print ad sales stilldwarf their online and mobile counterparts, revenue from print is still declining.Overhead may be high and circulation lower, but rushing to eliminate its print edition would be amistake, says BuzzFeed CEO Joah Peretti.
Peretti says the Times shouldn’t waste time getting out of the print business, but only if they goabout doing it the right way.” Fighting out a way to accelerate that transition would make sense ofthem,” he said, “but if you discontinue it, you’re going to have your most loyal customers reallyupset with you.”
Sometimes that’s worth making a change anyway. Peretti gives the example seen as ablunder,” he said. The move turned out to be foresighted. And if Peretti would raise prices andmake it into more of a legacy product.”
The most loyal customers would still get the product they favor, the idea goes, and they’d feellike they were helping sustain the quality of something they believe in. “So if you’re overpaying forprint, you could feel like you were helping,”Peretti said. “Then increase it at a higher rate each yearand essentially try to generate additional revenue.”In other words, if you’re going to make a printproduct ,make it for the people who are already obsessed with it. Which way be what the Times isdoing already. Getting the print edition seven days a week costs $500 a year — more than twice asmuch as a digital-only subscription.
“It’s a really hard thing to do and it’s a tremendous luxury that BuzzFeed doesn’t have a legacy

business,”Peretti remarked. “But we’re going to have questions like that where we have thingswe’re doing that don’t make sense when the market changes and the world changes. In thosesituations, it’s better to be more aggressive than less aggressive. ”
36.The New York Times is considering ending its print edition partly due to[A]the pressure from its investors.[B]the complaints from its readers.[C]the high cost of operation.[D]the increasing online ad sales.37. Peretti suggests that, in face of the present situation, the Times should[A]make strategic adjustments[B]end the print edition for good.[C]seek new sources of readership.[D]aim for efficient management.38. It can be inferred form Paragraphs 5 and 6 that a “legacy product”[A]will have the cost of printing reduced.[B]is meant for the most loyal customers.[C]helps restore the glory of former times.[D]expands the popularity of the paper.39. Peretti believes that, in a changing world,[A]traditional luxuries can stay unaffected.[B]aggressiveness better meets challenges.[C]cautiousness facilitates problem-solving.[D]legacy businesses are becoming outdated.40. Which of the following would be the best title of the text?[A]Make Your Print Newspaper a Luxury Good.[B]Keep Your Newspapers Forever in Fashion.[C]Cherish the Newspaper Still in Your Hand.[D]Shift to Online Newspapers All at Once.
36 答案 C the high cost of operation解析:因果细节题,问的是纽约时报考虑停止纸质版新闻印刷出版的原因是什么。文章首
段首句即是此内容的同义表达,二段解释具体原因,二段二句内容 The infrastructure isn't justexpensive; it's excessive at a time when online-only competitors don't have the same set of financialconstraints.意思是维持纸质印刷的基础设施建设不仅仅是贵,是相当贵, 而他们的竞争对手
39 答案 B aggressiveness better meets challenges解析:观点态度题。偏细节题。定位 Peretti在文中的观点,首次出现在第三段 overhead…
but rushing to eliminate its print edition would be a mistake.并且一直贯穿于下文。我们首先从选项来看。A 中…can stay unaffected 过于绝对,不选。D 选项中 legacy business 不是文中的讨论话题,所以可以直接排除。而 C选项中谨慎可以促进问题的解决,在 perreti的观点中根本没有体现,相反他建议要有所改变,并且要找对方式,言下之意就是大胆去面对挑战。所以
最终确定是 B。
40 答案 A Make Your Print Newspaper a Luxury Good解析:主旨题。出现在最后一道题目中,全文共有 7段,根据上面的细节题目,大致可以
确定本文的中心词为“print newspaper”B,C 两个选项中的 newspaper 都属于范围过大,是主旨题的典型错误选项,而 D选项中出现的 online newspaper 只是文中 print newspaper时提到的一个面临的 一个挑战,不足以引领全文,并且 all at once, 是“立刻,马上”之意,与原文的观点也有出入,最终确定选 A。

the way you present yourself has an impact. This is especially true in first impressions. According to research from Princeton University , people assess your competence , trustworthiness ,
and likeability in just a tenth of a second,solely based on the way you look.The difference between today’s workplace and the“dress for success” era is that the range of options is so much broader. Norms have evolved and fragmented. In some settings, red sneakers or dress T-shirts can convey status; inothers not so much. Plus, whatever image we present is magnified by social-media services like LinkedIn.Chances are, your headshots are seen much more often now than a decade or two ago. Millennials, it seems, facethe paradox of being the least formal generation yet the most conscious of style and personal branding. It can beconfusing.
So how do we navigate this? How do we know when to invest in an upgrade? And what’s the best way to pulloff one that enhance our goals? Here are some tips;
41.As an executive coach, I’ve seen image upgrades be particularly helpful during transitions---when looking
for a new job, stepping into a new or more public role, or changing work environments. If you’re in a period ofchange or just feeling stuck and in a rut, now may be a good time. If you’re not sure, ask for honest feedback fromtrusted friends, colleagues and professionals. Look for cues about how others perceive you.Maybe there’s no needfor an upgrade and that’s OK.42.Get clear on what impact you’re hoping to have. Are you looking to refresh your image or pivot it?For one person, the goal may be to be taken more seriously and enhance their professional image. For another, it may be to be perceived as more approachable, or more modern and stylish. For someone moving from finance to advertising, maybe they want to look more“SoHo”.(It’s OK to use characterizations like that.)43.
Look at your work environment like an anthropologist. What are the norms of your environment? Whatconverys status? Who are your most important audiences? How do the people you respect and look up to presentthemselves? The better you understand the cultural context, the more control you can have over your impact.44.
Enlist the support of professionals and share with them your goals and context. Hire a personal stylist, or usethe free styling service of a store like J.Crew. Try a hair stylist instead of a barber. Work with a professionalphotographer instead of your spouse or friend. It’s not as expensive as you might think.45.
The point of a style upgrade isn’t to become more vain or to spend more time passing over what to wear.Instead, use it as an opportunity to reduce decision fatigue. Pick a standard work uniform or a few go-to options.Buy all your clothes once with a stylist instead of shopping alone, one article of clothing at a time.41. B Decide if the time is right解析:此段第一句话主句里面说“在过渡的阶段提升自我形象尤其有用”。第二句和第三、
四句分别展开说明,第二句表明:如果你处在变动的时期或者感觉需要变动,那么可能这可
能是一个好的时机。 相反,第三、四句话表示:如果不确定的话,就需要得到别人的反馈
了。也许无需提升。故整段的意思是说要先确定是否现在是提升自我形象的正确时机。故答
案为 C选项。42. F Know your goals解析:此段中心句即第一句话,标明“要清楚你想要的结果或影响”。其实就是你想要的目
标。紧接着开始解释,提到比如,你是否想要更新你的形象?那么,对于一个人来讲,这个
目标可能是要被认真对待或者要加强专业的形象。对于其他人,这个目标可能是要被看作可
以触摸到的,或者是现代的,或者是时尚的。对于那些要从金融转到广告的,他们可能得看
15
让有理想的人更加卓越!
起来更“SOHO”.所以,整段都在讲目标。而选项 F中的”goal”形成复现。故为答案。43. D Understand the context解析:复现原则,文章多次重复 environment, understand the context 就是要理解你的工作处境。44. E Work with professionals解析:复现原则,文章多次重复 professional, work with,就是要与专业人士一起工作。45. G Make it efficient解析:此段第二句句首出现 instead, 故为转折句。所以从此句获得中心内容。该句讲的是“最好是将形象升级用做减少做决定的机会。”紧接着提到“选取一套标准的工作服或几个其他
的选择。把衣服一下子都买了,而不是一个人购买,或者一次只买一件”。这些提到的都是
要有效率。故选 G。

Within the span of a hundred years, in the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, a tide of emigration -one ofthe great folk wanderings of history-swept from Europe to America. 46) This movement, driven by powerfulmotivations, built a nation out of a wilderness and, by its nature, shaped the character and destiny of an unchartedcontinent.
47) The United States is the product of two principal forces-the immigration of European peoples with theirvaried ideas, customs, and national characteristics and the impact of a new country which modified these traits. Ofnecessity, colonial America was a projection of Europe. Across the Atlantic came successive groups ofEnglishmen, Frenchmen, Germans, Scots, Irishmen, Dutchmen, Swedes, and many others who attempted totransplant their habits and traditions to the new world. 48) But the force of geographic conditions peculiar toAmerica, the interplay of the varied national groups upon one another, and the sheer difficulty of maintainingold-world ways in a raw, new continent caused significant changes. These changes were gradual and at firstscarcely visible. But the result was a new social pattern which, although it resembled European society in manyways, had a character that was distinctly American.
49)The first shiploads of immigrants bound for the territory which is now the United States crossed theAtlantic more than a hundred years after the fifteenth- and sixteenth-century explorations of North America. In themeantime, thriving Spanish colonies had been established in Mexico, the West Indies, and South America. Thesetravelers to North America came in small, unmercifully overcrowded craft. During their six- to twelve-weekvoyage, they subsisted on meager rations. Many of the ships were lost in storms, many passengers died of disease,and infants rarely survived the journey. Sometimes tempests blew the vessels far off their course, and often calmbrought interminable delay.
To the anxious travelers the sight of the American shore brought almost inexpressible relief. Said onechronicler, "The air at twelve leagues' distance smelt as sweet as a new-blown garden." The colonists' first glimpseof the new land was a vista of dense woods. 50) The virgin forest with its richness and variety of trees was a realtreasure-house which extended from Maine all the way down to Georgia. Here was abundant fuel and lumber.Here was the raw material of houses and furniture, ships and potash, dyes and naval stores.
