Fashion is a term commonly used to describe a style of clothing worn by most people of a country. A fashion usually keeps popular for 1-3 years and then is replaced by another fashion. Even though there are a lot of changes in fashion, most people do not easily hope for the changes.

Nowadays more and more young people prefer following the fashion. On this phenomenon(现象), different people have different opinions. It is held that one should follow the fashion so as not to be looked down or seem strange. But it is also held that one should have his or her own judgement(判断).

Those who hold the first opinion think that society is progessing and one should get used to the changes. In their opinions, if everyone always follows the old fashion, there won’t be any change and naturally there won’t be much progress. However, those who hold the second view think that one shouldn’t follow the fashion without having his or her own judgement and characters.

As for me, I agree with the second opinion. Of course, it’s good for people to keep up with the fashion, but this is not to say that people should follow the fashion blindly(盲目地). If all the people follow the same fashion, there will be no variety and the whole society will be boring.

1.. The second paragraph mainly tells us ________.

A. what the fashon is about

B. different people have different opinions about the fashion

C. whether one should follow the fashion or not

D. more and more young people prefer following the fashion

2. According to those who hold the first view, why should one follow the fashion?

A. One should follow the fashion so that they won’t be looked down.

B. One should follow the fashion so that society is progressing.

C. One should follow the fashion so that people will have their own judgement.

D. One should follow the fashion so that society will be boring.

3..We can tell from the story that the writer thinks we should _________.

A. keep up with the same fashion　　　         　　

B. be against the fashion

C. say nothing about the fashion　　　　　　　　

D. follow the fashion by our own judgement

4.What is the best title for the passage?

A. Hope For Fashion                      　　 B. Have Your Own Judgement

C. How to follow the fashion            　　 D. Two ideas about the fashion

The term “multitasking” was firstly used to describe a computer’s ability to do several tasks at one time. For many people, multitasking has become a way of life and even a key to success. Although checking e-mails while talking on a phone and reading the newspaper may be second nature for some people, multitasking can sometimes make us less productive(富有成效的), rather than more. Studies show that too much multitasking may bring anxiety and memory loss.

In order to multitask, the brain uses an area known as the prefrontal cortex(前额叶脑皮层). A research from volunteers performing multiple tasks shows that as they move from task to task, this front part of the brain actually takes a moment of rest between tasks. You may have experienced a prefrontal cortex “moment of rest” yourself if you’ve ever dialed(拨电话) a phone number and suddenly forgotten who you dialed when the line is answered. What probably happened is that between the dialing and the answering, your mind moved to another thought or task, and then took that “moment” to come back. The research has also shown that for many volunteers, job efficiency(效率) drops while multitasking, compared to when they perform only one task at a time.

Multitasking is easy when at least one of the tasks requires little thought. Most people don’t find it difficult to eat and read the newspaper at the same time. However, when two or more attention-requiring tasks are tried at the same time, people sometimes make mistakes.

We often don’t remember things as well when we’re trying to manage several details at the same time. We may not notice new information coming in, so it never makes it into our memory. That is one of the main reasons we forget people’s names – even sometimes right after they have introduced themselves. Multitasking can also affect(影响) our relationships. If someone checks their e-mail while on the phone with a friend, they may appear absent-minded or disinterested. It can also cause that person to miss key information being passed on to them.

1.Which of the following words has the closest meaning to “anxiety”?

A.Stress B.Development C.Death D.Confidence

2.The writing purpose of this passage is to________.

A.describe the problems of multitasking B.discover the secrets of multitasking

C.tell the stories about multitasking D.explain the importance of multitasking

3.What can we learn about multitasking?

A.It is a way of life and the only key to success. B.It can be done easily by smart people.

C.It helps build a better relationship between friends. D.It has a close connection to our brain.

4.What can we infer(推断) from the passage?

A.Multitasking helps people remember things better.

B.More mistakes are made when tasks require little thought.

C.People get low job efficiency while managing several details at the same time.

D.People forgetting who to dial need to have a good rest.

Mail order is a term which describes the buying of goods or services by mail delivery（邮递）. The buyer places an order for the desired products with the salesman through some remote method such as through a telephone call or a website. Then, the products are delivered to the customer. The products are typically delivered directly to an address supplied by the customer, such as a home address, but sometimes the orders are delivered to a nearby retail location for the customer to pick up. Some businessmen also allow the goods to be shipped directly to a third customer, which is an effective way to send a gift to an out\|of\|town friend.

A mail order catalogue（目录）is a publication including a list of ordinary goods from a company. Companies who publish and operate mail order catalogues are treated as cataloguers within the industry. Goods are produced by people all over the world, such as in Australia, the USA, Canada, China etc. And now many cataloguers, just as with most retailers（零售商）, are increasingly buying goods from China.

Have you ever heard of “a ball of energy”? People often use it to describe very active children. But today we tell about the soccket, something that is a real soccer ball of energy. Julia Silverman and Jessica Matthews developed the soccket as part of a group project for an engineering class at Harvard University.

There are mechanisms (装置) in a soccket. When you kick, hit or throw it, energy is then kept in it by these mechanisms instead of disappearing into the environment. Then the user can put something directly into the ball, like a lamp, or a mobile phone charger so that they can get energy from it. For every fifteen minutes of the game play, the soccket can provide enough electricity for an LED lamp for three hours, and the ball can store (储藏) up to 24 hour’ electricity.

The International Energy Association reported last year that nearly one and a half billion people in the world had no electricity to use, and most of them live in sub-Saharan Africa and in India and other countries in Asia.

Julia Silverman and Jessica Matthews both had experiences in developing countries before they began the project. They knew that power shortages are a serious problem in really areas. There’s an energy crisis in the world. One out of every five people in the world don’t have any electricity. And besides that, there are a lot of health problems because without electricity, people have to use something like kerosene (煤油) lamps, which produce a lot of smoke.

Julia Silverman says the soccket ball is one small solution to a big problem. Jessica Matthews and Julia Silverman hope their soccket ball will shine more light on the problem of power shortages. It offers people a chance to put their energy into the world’s most popular sport and get some energy in return.

1.From the passage, we know the soccket is _____.

A. a game B. an invention C. an energy D. a lamp

2.If you play the soccket for half an hour, it can provide an LED lamp with electricity for _____.

A. fifteen minutes B. half an hour C. six hours D. three hours

3.The underlined word “crisis” in the passage means _____.

A. a time of safety B. a time of difficulty C. a time of success D. a time of illness

4.We can infer (推断) from the passage that _____.

A. Julia Silverman has never been to developing countries before

B. people all over the world will use the sOccket soon

C. kicking a soccket makes the energy disappear into the environment

D. people are expected to get some energy by playing soccket

5.The best title for the passage should be “________”.

A. How to Make Electricity B. How to Deal With Energy Crisis

C. A Soccer Ball That Gives Energy D. An Energy Shortage in the World
