A
The practice of swapping fashions has recently been attracting
attention worldwide, particularly in Europe and the United States. This is an activity aimed at making more effective use of resources by providing a platform for people to exchange free of charge those fashion items in their closets that they don’t use anymore.
In London, fashion swap events sponsored by the credit card company VISA focus on the swapping of specific brands. Japan’s first major fashion swap event, “xChange,” was held in September 2007 in Tokyo. The xChange event is designed to exchange not only fishing items but also information and feelings from the owners of the clothes, using what is called an “episode tag.” Participants put tags on each of the items they bring and write their name and a bride episode about the items.
For example, a tag of a white jacket read, “This is a gift from a friend, but it’s just not my style.” On a tag attached to a pair of red shoes, a person wrote. “These don’t fit me anymore. I hope someone who loves red can use them.” Just as shoppers check price tags, some people check the episode tags before making a selection, imagining who used to wear the item. The episode tags make people aware of the human connection by exchanging goods.
Many participants say things like, “I’m very lucky to get such lovely clothes for free,” and “I was happy to see someone try on and choose what I brought here.” Unwanted clothes for one person can be new and exciting for someone else. Besides, xChange achieves close to a 100-percent reuse rate by donating leftover clothes to companies that reuse or recycle secondhand clothing. Anything they cannot use, they then donate to developing countries or reuse them as rags.
Since 2007, the xChange event has been held every two or three months in a different region of Japan, always attracting many participants. This success is probably because it is an active event that gives participants opportunities to enjoy fashion without increasing the impact on the environment.
1. What's the main purpose of the fashion exchange?
A. To attract people's attention. B. To make good use of resources. C. To get rid of unwanted clothes. D. To try to avoid buying new
clothes. 答案解析:答案為B。 本題為細(xì)節(jié)題。由第一段第二句話 “This is an activity aimed at making more effective use of resources by?”可知,答案為B。 2. What is special about "an episode tag"?
A. It provides personal information of the owner. B. It is being attached by a price tag. C. It gives details of a fashion item.
D. It includes brief information of the item and feelings of the owner. 答案解析:答案為D。本題為詞義推測題。由第二段 “The xChange event is designed to exchange not only fishing items but also information and feelings from the owners of the clothes, using what is called an “episode tag.”可知,答案為D。
3. That the xChange event has achieved success is probably because ____. A. it donates secondhand clothing to developing countries B. it changes people's way of consuming
C. offers an example of enjoying fashion without damaging environment D. it shows fashion is the best policy for women 答案解析:答案為C。本題為細(xì)節(jié)題。由最后一段 “This success is probably because it is an active event that gives participants opportunities to enjoy fashion without increasing the impact on the environment.”可知,答案為C。
4. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage? A. "Fashion Exchange" Concept Grows in Japan.
B. "xChange" Environment Meets the Fashion Industry. C. The Global Rise of the Fashion Exchange. D. Join in "xChange".
答案解析:答案為A。本題為主旨大意題。由第二段 “Japan’s first major fashion swap event, ‘xChange,’ was held in September 2007 in Tokyo.” 可知,第一屆Fashion Exchange2007年在日本東京舉辦,后文對其進(jìn)行了介紹,最后一段呼應(yīng)文章的中心 “Since 2007, the xChange event has been held every two or three months in a different region of Japan, always attracting many participants.”, 因此本文主要介紹Fashion Exchange在日本的盛行,盡管第一段提到Fashion Exchange在歐美受到了歡迎,但這僅僅是Fashion Exchange的影響,故最佳標(biāo)題為A。
B
I don't think comic book "collector" really applies to me at all. I’m probably more of a comic book "appreciator". My interest has always been in what can be accomplished with the medium of "visual story-telling". I'm not sure exactly where this interest of mine came from. I do know that as a child, comic books allowed me to improve my reading skills. “The Mighty Thor" helped me develop an interest in old legends, and “Challengers of the Unknown" got me crazy about science fiction. The combination of words and pictures was a perfect springboard for my childhood imagination.
How does one learn to appreciate comic book art? There is a classic example that sheds quite a bit of light on the subject. Writer Scott Macloud just explains what makes a comic book stand out in his best selling book Understanding Comics. The book, first published in 1994, has been translated into 13 languages and is practically a bible for students studying graphic illustration (圖示說明) in novels.
On the internet there are some cool comic book sites to be found—hundreds and hundreds of them as a matter of fact. More than a few are dedicated to super heroes and the like. But there are some choice sites that I would visit, because they provide some great resources that discuss the comic book as an art form. Noteworthy among them is a great article and interview at www. rcharvey. corn, which discusses the impact of several artists and writers in the field.
I have a huge admiration for anyone who can produce comic stories that can make readers think, laugh and cry. Maybe make them dream.
Check it out. Spend two dollars on a comic book and read it with your children. Or better yet, search out some of the more “adult" tides and read it for yourself. You may find yourself enjoying what you see and read. You may even find yourself wanting more.
1. What does the author mainly intend to talk about in Paragraph 2? A. Influence of comic books on reading in childhood. B. Ways to improve one's reading skills.
C. Subjects of comic books. D. Popularity of two comic books. 答案解析:答案為A。本題為段落大意題。細(xì)讀第二段可知 “I'm not sure exactly where this interest of mine came from. I do know that as a child, comic books allowed me to improve my reading skills.”為本段的中心句,后面的內(nèi)容都是對此進(jìn)行了解釋說明,故答案為A。
2. The underlined part "sheds quite a bit of light on" (Para.3) means
"____".
A. does a basic research on B. causes a fierce debate on C. provides new information on D. makes a quick survey on
答案解析:答案為C。本題為語義推斷題。結(jié)合劃線部分的后面兩句話可知,Writer Scott Macloud寫了一本書,被翻譯成13種語言,幫助學(xué)生理解漫畫。劃線部分的意思與C選項(xiàng)最接近。故答案為C。
3. If you want to know a few good writers of comic books, you will probably
____.
A. read Understanding Comics B. visit www.rcharvey.corn C. buy some comic books D. turn to comic story writers 答案解析:答案為B。本題為細(xì)節(jié)題。由第四段最后一句話 “Noteworthy among them is a great article and interview at www. rcharvey. corn, which discusses the impact of several artists and writers in the field.”可知,答案為B。
4. What does the author encourage people to do?
A. Develop an interest in old legends and science fiction. B. Share a comic book with children. C. Produce some comic stories. D. Spend money and time appreciating comic books. 答案解析:答案為D。本題考查作者的態(tài)度觀點(diǎn)。由最后一段 “Check it out. Spend two dollars on a comic book and read it with your children.”可知,答案為D。
