2019-2020年高考英语大一轮复习 Unit 23 Conflict单元综合测试 北师大版选修8.阅读理解AFor anyone who is determined to be a fashion designer，it is not enough to have succeeded in college.The real test is whether they can survive，and bee established during their early 20s，making a name for themselves in the real world where business skills can be as important as talent and creativity.Fashion is a hard business.There is a continuous amount of stress because work is at a constant and extremely fast speed to prepare for the next seasons collections.It is extremely petitive and there is the constant need to make attractive advertisements of the latest fashion in newspapers and magazines.It also requires continual freshness because the appetite for new ideas is hard to satisfy.“We try to warn people before they e to us about how tough it is.” says Lydia Kemeny，Head of Fashion at St.Martins School of Art in London.“And we point out that drive and determination are absolutely necessary.”This may seem far removed from the popular opinions of fashionable young people spending their time designing pretty dresses.That may well be what they do in their first year of study but a good college wont be slow in introducing students to mercial realities，“We dont walk our foot on the blossoming flower of creativity but in the second year we start introducing the restrictions of price，producing ability，marketing and so on.”Almost all fashion design is done to a brief.It is not a form of selfexpression as such，although there is certainly room for imagination and creativity.Most young designers are going to end up as employees of a producer or a fashion house and they still need to be able to work within the characteristic style of their employer.Even those students who are most modern in their own taste of clothes may need to adapt to produce designs which are right for the mainstream of the market.They also have to be able to work at both the expensive and the cheap end of the market and the challenge to produce good design inexpensively may well be demanding.【语篇解读】成为时尚设计师并不是件容易的事。仅仅在大学校园里获取学业的成功是不够的，时尚在不断变化，商业技巧和天赋、创造性同样重要。 1Which of the following is mainly discussed

attention to the revolution that is taking place in biotechnology.With the help of new medicine，the human body will last a very long time.Death will e mainly from accidents，murder and war.Todays leading killers，such as heart disease，cancer，and aging itself，will bee distant memories.In discussion of technological changes，the Internet gets most of the attention these days.But the change in medicine can be the real technological event of our times.How long can humans live？Human brains were known to decide to final death.Cells are the basic units of all living things，and until recently，scientists were sure that the life of cells could not go much beyond 120 years because the basic materials of cells，such as those of brain cells，would not last forever.But the upper limits will be broken by new medicine.Sometime between 2050 and 2100，medicine will have advanced to the point at which every 10 years or so，people will be able to take medicine to repair their organs.The medicine，made up of the basic building materials of life，will build new brain cells，heart cells，and so onin much the same way our bodies make new skin cells to take the place of old ones.It is exciting to imagine that the advance in technology may be changing the most basic condition of human existence，but many technical problems still must be cleared up on the way to this wonderful future.【语篇解读】 随着科技、医学的发展，未来的某天，人类的寿命会得到无限制地延长。年龄与疾病对生命不再构成威胁。5According to the passage，human death is now mainly caused by_.Adiseases and aging Baccidents and warCaccidents and aging Dheart disease

bill.Researchers from the University of Colorado at Boulder measured the actual calories the body loses for an allnighter._9_It conserves about as much as in a glass of warm milk._10_It loses an extra 161 calories that it would have saved during eight hours of sleep(not counting whats used in moving around while awake)，but its no weightloss miracle.The body tries to make up for the deficit(不足额)by saving more energy than usual the next day and night.To measure how much energy people use during sleep in a more accurate way than has been done before，Kenneth Wright，a physiologist at the University of Colorado，and his colleagues studied seven people.Each of the healthy young volunteers lived inside a sealed room for three days.The volunteers were on bed rest during the entire time and ate the same amount of calories at the same time each day.The researchers continually monitored the persons brain waves and how much oxygen and carbon dioxide the person breathed in and out._11_“Sure，theres energy saving，but its not worth much.Its a hot dog bun or a cup of milks worth，”Paul Shaw of Washington University，who wasnt involved in the study above，says of many scientists attitude toward the amount of calories the body saves during sleep._12_After staying up all night，volunteers burned about 28 fewer calories during a recovery sleep of eight hours than they had during a full night of regular sleep._13_In the 24hour period during which people caught up on missing sleep，they also burned about 228 fewer calories than during a parable period in which they were sleepdeprived.Overall，when people slept normally，they burned 96 more calories than they did on days when they were making up for lost sleep.AThe energy conservation didnt stop there.BThe recovery sleep should be limited to eight hours.CHe also said small differences could have large consequences.DMissing a night of sleep forces the body to burn more calories.EThey found a full night of sleep helps the body preserve energy.FThe amount of energy saving associated with sleep isnt little.GTherefore the team were able to calculate each persons energy use during the experiment.答案9.E10.D11.G12.C13.A.短文改错假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中每句中最多有两处错误。每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。增加：在缺词处加一个漏词符号()，并在其下面写出该加的词。删除：把多余的词用斜线()划掉。修改：在错的词下划一横线(_)，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。注意：每处错误及其修改均仅限一词；Today
