Just 20 years ago, few women would dare to wear a mini-skirt after the age of 33, the store said. It shows that women now have an increasing confidence in their bodies and are happy to dress accordingly, it added in a statement. If this trend continues, theres no doubt that, within the next decade, women in their mid 40s and early 50s will rightly regard a mini-skirt as an essential part of their everyday wardrobe. The figures emerged when the store, examined the latest age profile of women buying short,36-cm skirts over the past six months. Their results show that it has jumped from an average age of 36-years-old at the start of millennium1 t0 40 today. Figures from 1980 showed that on average women stopped buying minis when they reached 33 years old - a figure unchanged from the mid-1960s. The store noted that experts believe that the popularity of intensive gym culture2, providing women with well toned bodies3 for longer may be the reason. The increasing number of British women living on their own may also be a factor. The Debenhams study showed that a modem womans love affair with a mini-skirt begins at the age of 14 but that she doesnt buy her first one until the age of 16. Instead, she flouts school rules by rolling up the waistband of the school uniform to give the impression of wearing a mini skirt. Skirts get shorter between the ages of 16 and 19 reducing in size from 46 t0 36 cm before reaching their shortest, a mere 32 cm, at the age of 23. Skirt length increases slightly between the ages of 23 and 27, rising t0 37 cm, possibly due to girls being in their first stable relationship,with no desire to attract attention, the store said. However, it found short skirts suddenly zoom in popularity between the ages of 27 and 34, as those early relationships break down, and new relationships are formed. The move into longer skirts begins irreversibly at 40 years old, when 46-cm skirts, still slightly above the knee are the norm. From then on, skirt length increases dramatically, falling below the knee for the very first time since school days at the age of 42.3. We can infer from the second and third paragraph that in 1970s.(四段3行)A) A lot of women dared to wear mini-skirts at the age of 40.B) Most women between 33 and 36 were still happy to wear mini-skirts.C) Even women in their early 50s rightly regarded a mini-skirt as an essential part of their everyday wardrobe.D、Most women no longer wore mini-skirts when they reach the age of 33.4. Which of the following statements about the length of the mini-skirts is true?A) At the age of 14, girls often wear mini-skirts which are about 46cm in size.(五段2行)B) Girls at the age of 19 wear the shortest mini-skirts.(六段1行)C) At the age of 23, most girls wear mini-skirts which are 37cm long.(六段2行)D) From the age of 23, skirt length increases because girls are in their first stable relationship.(六段3行)5. The word zoom in the first sentence of the last paragraph can be best replaced by:(最后一段1行)A) soarB) decreaseC) hold steadyD) drop3 D 第三段说从20世纪60年代开始一直到80年代,调查都显示女性到33岁之后普遍不再购买超短裙。4 D 从倒数第二段可知,从23岁开始,女性所穿着的超短裙长度从32cm渐增至37cm,主要是因为这个阶段她们普遍有了稳定的恋爱关系。5 A “zoom”意为迅速增长,故A是最佳答案。Cell Phones: Hang Up or Keep Talking?移动电话Millions of people are using cell phones today. In many places it is actually considered unusual not to use one. In many countries, cell phones are very popular with young people. They find that the phones are more than a means of communicationhaving a mobile phone shows that they are cool and connected. The explosions around the world in mobile phone use make some health professionals worried. Some doctors are concerned that in the future many people may suffer health problems from the use of mobile phones. In England, there has been a serious debates about this issue. Mobile phone companies are worried about the negative publicity of such ideas. They say that there is no proof that mobile phones are bad for your health. On the other hand, why do some medical studies show changes in the brain cells of some people who use mobile phones? Signs of change in the tissues of the brain and head can be detected with modern scanning(扫描)equipment. In one case, a traveling salesman had to retire at a young age because of serious memory loss. He couldnt remember even simple tasks. He would often forget the name of his own son. This man used to talk on his mobile phone for about six hours a day, every day of his working week, for a couple of years. His family doctor blamed his mobile phone use, but his employers doctor didnt agree. What is it that make mobile phones potentially harmful? The answer is radiation. High-tech machines can detect very small amount of radiation from mobile phones. Mobile phone companies agree that there is some radiation, but they say the amount is too small to worry about. As the discussion about their safety continues, it appears that its best to use mobile phones less often. Use your regular phone if you want to talk for a long time. Use your mobile phone only when you really need it. Mobile phones can be very useful and convenient, especially in emergencies. In the future, mobile phones may have a warning label that says they are bad for your health. So for now, its wise not to use your mobile phone too often.31.

The writers purpose of writing this article is to advise peopleA. to use mobile phones less oftenB. to buy mobile phonesC. to update regular phonesD. to stop using mobile phonesExcessive Demands on Young PeopleBeing able to multitask is hailed by most people as a welcome skill, but not according to a recent study which claims that young people between the ages of eight and eighteen of the so-called Generation Ml are spending a considerable amount of their time in fruitless efforts as they multitask. It argues that, in fact, these young people are frittering(浪费) away as much as half of their time again as they would if they performed the very same tasks one after the other. Some young people are juggling an ever larger number of electronic devices as they study.At the same time that they are working, young adults are also surfing on the Internet, or sending out emails to their friends, and/or answering the telephone and listening to music on their iPods2 or on another computer. As some new device comes along it too is added to the list rather than replacing one of the existing devices. Other research has indicated that this multitasking is even affecting the way families themselves function as young people are too wrapped up3 in(沉湎于) their own isolated worlds to interact with the other people around them. They can no longer greet family members when they enter the house nor can they eat at the family table. All this electronic wizardry(魔力) is supposedly also seriously affecting young peoples performance at university and in the workplace. When asked about their perception of the impact of modern gadgets(小装置) on their performance of tasks, the overwhelming majority of young people gave a favourable response. The response from the academic and business worlds was not quite as positive. The former feel that multitasking with electronic gadgets by children affects later development of study skills, resulting in a decline in the quality of writing, for example, because of the lack of concentration on task completion. They feel that many undergraduates now urgently need remedial(补救的) help with study skills. Similarly, employers feel that young people entering the workforce need to be taught all over again, as they have become deskilled. While all this may be true, it must be borne in mind4 that more and more is expected of young people nowadays; in fact, too much. Praise rather than criticism is due in respect of5 the way todays youth are able to cope despite what the older generation throw at them.36. What is probably true about the multitasking Generation M? A) They feel they are more efficient than others. B) They waste more time than they should spend. C) They put more energy on important tasks. D) They need to improve their analytical skills.37. With the introduction of new gadgets, what happens to the Generation Ms present e-devices?A) They give way to the latest.B) They are quickly put aside.C) They are sold to their friends.D) They become part of their collection.38. Multitasking makes the Generation M A) feel lonely and pitiful. B) selfish and aggressive.C) distant to their family.D) silent and sad.39. The academics feel that many undergraduates badly need to A) adjust their social attitudes. B) seek psychological assistance. C) improve their study skills. D) task more business courses.40. What attitude should the older generation adopt towards the multitasking youth?A) Critical.B) Thankful.C) Negative.D) Supportive.Three Ways to Become More CreativeMost people believe they dont have much imagination. They are wrong. Everyone has imagination, but most of us, once we become adults, forget how to access it. Creativity isnt always connected with great works of art or ideas. People at work and in their free time routinely think of creative ways to solve problems. Maybe you have a goal to achieve, a tricky question to answer or you just want to expand your mind! Here are three techniques to help you.This technique involves taking unrelated ideas and trying to find links between them. First, think about the problem you have to solve or the job you need to do. Then find an image, word, idea or object, for example, a candle. Write down all the ideas/words associated with candies: light, fire, matches, wax; night, silence, etc. Think of as many as you can. The next stage is to relate the ideas to the job you have to do. So imagine you want to buy a friend an original present; you could buy him tickets to a match or take him out for the night.Imagine that normal limitations dont exist. You have as much time/space/money, etc. as you want. Think about your goal and the new possibilities. If, for example, your goal is to learn to ski, you can now practice skiing every day of your life (because you have the time and the money). Now adapt this to reality. Maybe you can practice skiing every day in December, or every Monday in January.Look at the situation from a different point of view. Good negotiators (谈判者) use this technique in business, and so do writers. Fiction writers often imagine they are the characters in their books. They ask questions: what does this character want? Why cant she get it? What changes must she make to get what she wants? What does she dream about? If your goal involves other people, put yourself in their shoes. The best fishermen think like fish!41. According to the passage, when we become adults,A. we can still learn to be more creative.B. most of us are no longer creative.C. we are not as imaginative as children.D. we are unwilling to be creative. 42. According to the first technique, if you need to solve a problemA. you could find an image and try to link it with the problem.B. you should link it with candles.C. you have to think of buying a present for a friend.D. you should link it with as many words as possible.43. The second technique suggests that you just imagineA. setting a goal is as simple as skiing.B. you have every resource to achieve your goal.C. new possibilities will soon appear.D. December and January are the best months for skiing.44. The phrase put yourself in their shoes in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning
