What seems strange, however, is that the standard used for women is the opposite of the one for men. Take a look at the way your clothes button. Mens clothes tend to button from the right, and womens from the left. Considering most of the worlds population-men and women-are right-handed, the mens standard would appear to make more sense（更有道理） for women. So why do womens clothes button from the left?History really seems to matter here. Buttons first appeared only on the clothes of the rich in the 17th century, when rich women were dressed by servants. For the mostly right-handed servants, having womens shirts button from the left would be easier. On the other hand, having mens shirts button from the right made sense, too. Most men dressed themselves, and a sword（剑） drawn from the left with the right hand would be less likely to get caught in the shirt.Today women are seldom dressed by servants, but buttoning from the left is still the standard for them. Is it interesting? Actually, a standard, once it is set, resists change. At a time when all womens shirts buttoned from the left, it would have been risky for any single manufacturer to offer womens shirts that buttoned from the right. After all, women had grown so used to shirts which buttoned from the left and would have to develop new habits and skills to switch. Besides, some women might have found it socially awkward to appear in public wearing shirts that buttoned from the right, since anyone who noticed that would believe they were wearing mens shirts.5. What is surprising about the standard of the clothing industry?A. It has been followed by the industry for over 400 years.B. It is different for mens clothing and womens.C. It woks better with men than with women.D. It fails to consider right-handed people.6. What do we know about the rich men in the 17th century?A. They tended to wear clothes without buttons.B. They drew their swords from the left.C. They were mostly dressed by servants.D. They were interested in the historical matters.7. Womens clothes still button from the left today because .A. customs are hard to changeB. manufacturers should follow standardsC. modern women dress themselvesD. using mens style is improper for women8. The passage is mainly developed by .A. analyzing causes B. making parisonsC. examining differences D. following the time order【答案】5. B 6. B 7. A 8. A【解析】这篇文章主要讲述了男女服装的差别，并对其原因进行分析。5. 细节理解题。根据文章第一内容What seems strange, however, is that the standard used for women is the opposite of the one for men.可知B正确。6. 细节理解题。根据Most men dressed themselves, and a sword（剑） drawn from the left with the right hand would be less likely to get caught in the shirt.可知B正确。7. 推理判断题。根据最后一段a standard, once set, resists change.可以推断出习惯一旦形成就很难改变。选A。8. 推理判断题。文章通过仔细分析男女服装的差别来组织文章的，故选A。【名师点拨】推理判断题要求在理解原文表面文字信息的基础上，做出一定的推理判断，从而得到文章的隐含意义和深层意义。推理判断题所涉及的内容可能是文中的某一句话，也可能是某几句话，所以，推理题的答案只能是根据原文表面文字信息一步推出的答案：即对原文某一句话或某几句话所作的同义改写或综合。推理判断题的题干中通常含infer, suggest, imply, conclude indicate等标志性词语。 这种题型主要包括细节判断题、态度观点推断题、写作意图推断题、文章出处判断题和猜测想象推断题。推理判断题。根据最后一段a standard, once set, resists change.可以推断出习惯一旦形成就很难改变。选A。CI know what youre thinking: pizza? For breakfast? But the truth is that you can have last nights leftovers in the a. m. if you want to.I know lots of women who skip breakfast, and they have a ton of different excuses for doing it . Some say they dont have time. others think theyre “saving” calories, still others just dont like breakfast food .But the bottom line is that eating in the morning is very important when youre trying to lose weight. “Eating just about anything from 300 to 400 calories would be better than nothing at all,” says Katherine Brooking, R., D., who developed the super-easy eating plan for this years “SELF CHALLENGE”. And even pizza can be healthy if its loaded with vegetables, and you stick to one small piece.Breakfast is one meal I never miss, and the same goes for most weight loss success stories. Research shows that eating breakfast keeps you from overeating later in the day. Researchers at the University of Southern California found that breakfast skippers have a bigger chance of gaining weight than those who regularly have a morning meal.So eat something in the morning, anything. I know plenty of friends who end up having no breakfast at all, and have just coffee or orange juice. I say, try heating up last nights leftovers-it may sound crazy, but if it works for you, do it! I find if I tell myself, “You can always eat it tomorrow,” I put away the leftovers instead of eating more that night. Try ityou may save yourself some pre-bedtime calories. And watch your body gain the fat-burning effects.9. What can we infer from the text?A. Working women usually have breakfast in a hurry.B. Many people have wrong ideas about breakfast.C. There are some easy ways of cooking a meal.D. Eating vegetables helps save energy.10. According to the last paragraph, it is important to_.A. eat something for breakfast B. be careful about what you eatC. heat up food before eating it D. eat calorie-controlled food11. The text is written mainly for those_.A. who go to work early B. who stay up lateC. who want to lose weight D. who eat before sleep【答案】9. B 10. A 11. C【解析】文章介绍了很多人有不吃早饭的坏习惯，作者说明了不吃早饭的坏处以及对减肥的不利影响。9. 推理判断题。首先根据文章主题为breakfast 可以排除CD选项, 其次, 根据文题一致原则可推断该部分答案应该在文章开头部分的第2、3段, 再看A选项中的have breakfast in a hurry与文章中的skip breakfast(不吃早餐)表意相反, 因此, 排除A选项，故选B项。10. 段落大意题。综合最后一段可以发现第一句话为该段主题句, 综合全文来看, 核心高频词汇为breakfast，故选A 项。11. 主旨大意。将文章中第3、4段首句和文章末句相加即可得出本文的针对对象。可知这篇文章是写给想减肥的人看的，故选C项。DFar from the land of Antarctica (南极洲), a huge shelf of ice meets the ocean. At the underside of the shelf there lives a small fish, the Antarctic cod.For forty years scientists have been curious about that fish. How does it live where most fish would freeze to death? It must have some secret. The Antarctic is not a fortable place to work and research has been slow. Now it seems we have an answer.Research was begun by cutting holes in the ice and catching the fish. Scientists studied the fishs blood and measured its freezing point.The fish were taken from seawater that had a temperature of -1.88C and many tiny pieces of ice floating in it. The blood of the fish did not begin to freeze until its temperature was lowered to-2.05C. That small difference is enough for the fish to live at the freezing temperature of the ice-salt mixture.The scientists next research job was clear: Find out what in the fishs blood kept it from freezing. Their search led to some really strange thing made up of a protein (蛋白质) never before seen in the blood of a fish. When it was removed, the blood froze at seawater temperature. When it was put back, the blood again had its antifreeze quality and a lowered freezing point.Study showed that it is an unusual kind of protein. It has many small sugar molecules（分子）held in special positions within each big protein molecule. Because of its sugar content, it is called a glycoprotein. So it has e to be called the antifreeze fish glycoprotein, or AFGP.12. What is the text mainly about?A. The terrible conditions in the Antarctic.B. A special fish living in freezing waters.C. The ice shelf around Antarctica.D. Protection of the Antarctic cod.13. Why can the Antarctic cod live at the freezing temperature?A. A special protein keeps it from freezing.B. It loves to live in the ice-salt mixtureC. The seawater has a temperature of -1.88C.D. Its blood has a temperature lower than -2.05C.14. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 refer to?A. A type of ice-salt mixture. B. Sugar molecule.C. Fish blood. D. A newly found protein.15. What does “glyco-” in the underlined word “glycoprotein” in the last paragraph mean?A. ice B. sugarC. blood D. molecule【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. B【解析】本文介绍了科学家对于南极洲一种小鱼为什么能够在如此寒冷的情况下还能生存的原因的剖析。原因在于这种鱼的血液里存在的一种蛋白质。12. 主旨大意题。由Far from the land of Antarctica (南极洲), a huge shelf of ice meets the ocean. At the underside of the shelf there lives a small fish, the Antarctic cod.可知本文讲述的是生活在寒冷冰水中的一种特殊的小鱼，故B正确。.14. 推理判断题。根据Their search led to some really strange thing made up of a protein (蛋白质) never before seen in the blood of a fish. When it was removed, the blood froze at seawater temperature.可知当这种物质被拿走以后血很快就凝固了，故it就是指前面的protein，一种新发现的蛋白质，故D正确。15. 推理判断题。根据Because of its sugar content, it is called a glycoprotein.可知该名词肯定是与sugar有关，故B正确。第二节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分）根据短文内容，从其后选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。The benefits of keeping a journal (日志)If you want to grow, one important thing you should do is keeping a journal.
