BWriter. CResearcher. DAdviser.DThroughout the world, clothing has many uses.It is used to provide protection from the elements.It is also worn to prevent others from seeing specific parts of ones body.However, the parts of the body that must be covered vary widely throughout the world.Some clothing is worn to provide supernatural（神奇的） protection.Wearing a lucky shirt to take an exam is calling for supernatural assistance.People in all cultures use clothing and other forms of bodily decoration to communicate status, intentions and other messages.In North America, we dress differently for business and various leisure activities.North American women are usually much more knowledgeable of and concerned with little difference in messages communicated by clothes than men.At times, this leads to silly mistakes of interpretation of female intentions on the part of men.Of course, clothing styles are also intended to communicate messages to members of the same gender (性别)Long before we are near enough to talk to someone, their appearance tells their gender, age, economic class, and often even intentions.We begin to recongnize the important cultural clues at an early age.The vocabulary of dress that we learn includes not only items of clothing but also hairstyles，jewellery, and other body decoration.In most cultures, however, the same style of dress communicates different messages depending on the age，gender，and physical appearance of the individual wearing it.Putting on certain types of clothing can change your behavior and the behavior of others towards you.This can be the case with a doctors white lab coat, or an army uniform.Most uniforms are clearly symbolic so that they can rapidly and unmistakably communicate status.For instance, the strange hairstyle and clothing of the English “punks” are essential aspects of their uniforms.There are many forms of body decoration other than clothes that are used around the world to send messages.These include body and hair paint, and even body deformation（损伤）.When doctors put braces on teeth, they are actually doing the same thingdeforming of reforming（改进） a part of the body to make it more attractive.13Which of the following is the best title for this passage?AClothing and Culture BCommunication through ClothingCClothing and Social Behavior DWays of Sending Messages14Some people wear lucky shirts to take an exam because they believe_.Aclothes have extraordinary powerBclothes can hide their fear for the examCshirts can make them more comfortableDshirts provide protection against bad weather15In North America, men sometimes misunderstand womens intention because_.Amen are more careless than womenBwomen spend more time on their clothesCmen and women have different views on clothing stylesDmen are careless about the different messages communicated by clothes第二节 完形填空 (共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从115各题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。I was on a bus one March evening.
