If so, your confusion may have made sense.Several months ago, high fashion brand Balenciaga released a “T-shirt shirt”, which is a shirt sewn on the front of a T-shirt. The unusual design has certainly confused a lot of people.But the “double shirt” isnt fighting alone on the frontier of strange fashion. Ever since US shoe manufacturer Crocs released its famous hole-filled foam shoes, the so-called “ugly fashion” hasnt showed any signs of slowing down, the Business of Fashion website noted.British designer Paul Surridge believes that the rise of ugly fashion is a sign that people are bored with looking perfect all the time. “Fashion thrives (v. 蓬勃发展) on novelty”, he told the Financial Times.Indeed, fashion is all about changes. Something thats considered uncool one minute can then turn out to be the latest must-have fashion item the next.And in the eyes of US fashion writer Megan Collins, ugly doesnt necessarily mean the design of the item is ugly. After all, ugly is something subjective. “Ugly fashion means not the mainstream it is not what everyones wearing; it is not what the general population considers as in right now,” she told style news site Fashionista.But throughout the history of fashion, when any new trend appears, most people tend to hate it, before it eventually becomes loved. As Italian designer Miuccia Prada told The New York Times, “Maybe because it is newer, ugly is attractive. Ugly is exciting.”Meanwhile, popular social media fashion bloggers also help people to pick up new ugly fashion trends. These bloggers express themselves through their clothes, showing their unique personalities and making statements with their wardrobe choices. However, as Clever-ish Magazine noted, just being comfortable in your own skin could actually be “the best look”.“I personally love having a unique expression because without ugly fashion and diversity, wed all look the same,” Australian fashion influencer and model Zanita Whittington told Fashionista. “I appreciate anything thats out of the norm(n. 规范).”5. The underlined word “in” in the passage could be replaced by _.A. ugly B. fashionableC. affordable D. expensive6. What will some social media fashion bloggers do to show their personalities?A. They will dress themselves to look perfect.B. They will try some new and exciting clothes.C. They will make statements with others clothes choices.D. They will express themselves by wearing ugly clothes.7. What can we infer from Zanita Whittingtons words?A. She is in favor of ugly fashion trends.B. She doesnt care about fashion at all.C. She hopes to be the same as others.D. She wants to look ugly as a model.【答案】5. B 6. D 7. A【解析】本文是一篇时尚类短文阅读。上个月，高级时尚品牌巴黎世家推出了一款“T恤衬衫”，将一件衬衫缝在了T恤的正面，此番不同寻常的设计无疑让不少人摸不到头脑。每年在各路大牌的时尚秀上，我们总会看到一些让人摸不着头脑的另类时尚单品，而这类“丑时尚”也成为了今年的一大潮流。【5题详解】词义猜测题。根据文章第三段Ugly fashion means not the mainstream it is not what everyones wearing; it is not what the general population considers as in right now( 丑时尚意味着 “非主流”那并不是人人都在穿的样式，也不是主流大众目前所认为的“时髦” 。)由此可知，in是“时尚的”之意。故选B。【6题详解】细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段These bloggers express themselves through their clothes, showing their unique personalities and making statements with their wardrobe choices. (这些博主通过服饰才达自我，展现自己的独特个性，并用衣品发声。) 可知，这些博主穿一些丑衣服来表达自己的个性。故选D。【7题详解】推理判断题。根据文章最后一段I personally love having a unique expression because without ugly fashion and diversity, wed all look the same,” Australian fashion influencer and model Zanita Whittington told Fashionista. “I appreciate anything thats out of the norm(n. 规范). ( “我个人喜欢独特的表达，因为要是没有丑时尚与多样性的话，我们看起来都一个样。”澳大利亚时尚大咖萨妮塔惠廷顿在接受Fashionista 网站采访时表示“我欣赏不走寻常路的任何事物。”) 可知，Zanita Whittington 赞成这种丑时尚趋势。故选A。CWhen he was young, Louis Armstrong was taking what was called “Creole jazz”, which was also called dance music, and combining it with trumpeter(小号手) Buddy Bolden, to create what would eventually become todays jazz.Armstrong accomplished this with almost no formal training. He received little training before he was placed in the New Orleans Colored Waifs Home at the age of 12, after a run-in(小争执) with the police. The punishment turned out to be a mixed blessing, for he also had the opportunity to play in a real band.While at the Waifs, Armstrong also got the chance to hear some of the citys finest musicians. Cornetist Freddie Keppard performed in a nearby club. So did trumpeter and bandleader King Joe Oliver, who took the boy under his wing and taught him how to read music and work on his playing technique.When Oliver left for Chicago, Armstrong chose to stay in New Orleans and work with some of the other top musicians of the day. In Chicago, King Oliver offered him a place in his band in 1922. It became Armstrongs biggest challenge yet the band had no parts written for trumpet, so he was forced to listen to King Oliver and improvise(即兴创作).Soon, Armstrongs undeniable talent was getting noticed. Even classically trained musicians would come to hear the incredible sounds this young man created.Lil Hardin, the bands piano player and the future Mrs. Armstrong, explained that Oliver kept Armstrong in the second trumpet-chair so that Oliver would still be “King”. Hardin convinced him to leave the band.Armstrong moved to New York City in 1924 to join Fletcher Hendersons band and then flew solo. In 1925, Armstrong put together the Hot Five, expanding his popularity even more. Armstrong recorded his first composition, Cornet Chop Suey, one of the most copied jazz solos of all time. This monumental 1928 recording blends(混合) artistry, endurance and showmanship that has rarely, if ever, been matched in jazz.8. What does the underlined word “this” refer to in the second paragraph?A. To play dance music. B. To work with Buddy Bolden.C. To play a jazz instrument well. D. To create modern jazz music.9. Who taught Louis Armstrong how to play music in the early time?A. Buddy Bolden. B. Lil Hardin.C. King Joe Oliver. D. Cornetist Freddie Keppard.10. Why did Louis Armstrong Leave King Olivers band?A. Because he wanted to get married in New York.B. Because his talent could not develop completely.C. Because he got a better opportunity in New York.D. Because the man forced him to leave the band.11. Whats the main idea of the passage?A. It asks readers to know more about modern jazz.B. It introduces one of the greatest jazz musicians.C. It introduces the development of jazz.D. It describes the importance of talent in playing jazz.【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. B【解析】本文是一篇人物介绍。文章主要是介绍了路易斯阿姆斯特朗对音乐的追求情况。路易斯阿姆斯特朗是天士乐坛无人不知、无人不晓的人物，他从小就对音乐很感兴趣，后来他慢慢的才华显露，有了很高的成就。【8题详解】词义猜测题。根据文章第一段和第二段When he was young, Louis Armstrong was taking what was called “Creole jazz”, which was also called dance music, and combining it with trumpeter(小号手) Buddy Bolden, to create what would eventually become todays jazz.和Armstrong accomplished this with almost no formal training.可知路易斯阿姆斯特朗年轻的时候他就创造了舞蹈音乐，后来他和号手巴迪博尔登一起创造了爵士乐，阿姆斯特朗几乎在没有任何正规训练的基本上就完成了爵士乐的创造，故this指代“创造现代爵士乐”。故选D。【9题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第三段So did trumpeter and bandleader King Joe Oliver ,who took the boy under his wing and taught him how to read music and work on his playing technique.号手兼领队的King Joe Oliver将阿姆斯特朗收入门下，并教他如何懂音乐以及一些音乐技巧。故选C。【10题详解】细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段Oliver kept Armstrong in the second trumpet-chair so that Oliver would still be King .Hardin convinced him to leave the band.由此可知，Oliver 让阿姆斯特朗在第二号手的位置，那样的话阿姆斯特朗的才华得不到充分的发挥，因此Hardin劝说阿姆斯特朗离开乐队。故选B。【11题详解】主旨大意题。根据文章内容，文章主要是介绍了路易斯阿姆斯特朗对音乐的追求情况。路易斯阿姆斯特朗是天士乐坛无人不知、无人不晓的人物，他从小就对音乐很感兴趣，后来他慢慢的才华显露，有了很高的成就。故选B。DSome colors people see late at night could cause signs of clinical (临床的) depression. That was the finding of a study that builds on earlier study findings. They show that individuals who live or work in low levels of light overnight can develop clinical depression. Doctors use the word “clinical depression to describe severe form of depression. Signs may include loss of interest or pleasure in most activities, low energy levels and thoughts of death or suicide.In the new study, American investigators designed an experiment that exposed hamsters(仓鼠) to different colors. The researchers chose hamsters because they are nocturnal, which means they sleep during the day and are active at night.The animals were separated into four groups. One group of hamsters was kept in the dark during their night-time period. Another group was placed in front of a blue light, a third group slept in front of a white light, while a fourth was put in front of a red light. After four weeks, the researchers noted how much sugary water the hamsters drank. They found that the most depressed animals drank the least amount of water.Randy Nelson heads the Department of Neuroscience at Ohio State University. He says animals that slept in blue and white light appeared to be the most depressed. “What we saw is that these animals didnt show any sleep uneasiness at all but they did mess up biological clock genes and they did show depressive sign while if they were in the dim(微弱的) red light, they did not.”Randy Nelson notes that photosensitive (感光的) cells in the eyes have little to do with eyesight. He says these cells send signals to the area of the brain that controls what has been called the natural sleep-wake cycle.He says theres a lot of blue in white light. This explains why the blue light and white light hamsters appear to be more depressed than the hamsters seeing red light or darkness.12. Researchers use hamsters in the experiment because _.A. they are similar to humans in dealing with colorsB. they are easy to observe and studyC. they are sensitive to colors like human beingsD. they are active at night and sleep during the day13. What sign shows that the hamsters are being depressed?A. They drink less sugary water. B. They dont sleep well.C. Their eyesight becomes worse. D. Their energy level becomes low.14. _tends to cause hamsters to be depressed.A. Dim light B. Red lightC. Blue light D. Darkness15. What can help people who work late at night to avoid being depressed?A. Not being exposed to dim red light when using computers.B. Equipping their computer screens to put it more in the reddish light.C. Living or working in low levels of light overnight.D. Going to see doctors of clinical depression regularly for help.【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. B【解析】本文介绍了一项新的研究发现：人们在深夜看到的一些颜色可能会引起“临床沮丧”（clinical depression）。【12题详解】细节理解题。从第二段中的“The researchers chose hamsters because they are nocturnal, which means they sleep during the day and are active at night”可知，研究者使用仓鼠，是因为它们在白天睡觉，晚上却出来活动。故选D。【13题详解】细节理解题。从第四段中的“the researchers noted how much sugary water the hamsters drank. They found that the most depressed animals drank the least amount of water”可知，研究人员发现，压抑感最强的仓鼠喝的糖水最少。故选A。【14题详解】推理判断题。从第五段中的“animals that slept in blue and white light appeared to be the most depressed”可知，睡在蓝光和白光里的仓鼠看起来最压抑。根据第五段中的“if they were in the dim(微弱)red light, they did not”可知，在昏暗的红光里，仓鼠一点也看不出压抑。根据第七段中的“This explains why the blue light and white light hamsters appear to be more depressed than the hamsters seeing red light or darkness”可知，处在蓝光中的仓鼠比在黑暗里的仓鼠也更加压抑。故选。【15题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“This explains why the blue light and white light hamsters appear to be more depressed than the hamsters seeing red light or darkness”可知，在红光或黑暗中，仓鼠的压抑 感表现得比蓝光或白光中的仓鼠少。由此可以看出，B项中的让电脑屏幕多显现出一些红光的做法是可取的。故选B。第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的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。Real-life Room Escape GamesReal-life room escape games are a typeof physical adventure game in which people are locked in a room with other participants and have to use the things in the room to settle a series of puzzles, find clues, and escape the room within a set time limit.The games are based on Escape the Room video games, such as Crimson Room and QP-Shot, created by TAKAGISM Inc. by Toshimitsu Takagi in 2005, in which the player is locked inside a room and must explore his or her surroundings in order to escape._16_Other inspirations include adventure board games and movies.
