A.howimportanttheU.K.parliamentarycommitteereportisB.whyfashionfirmsshouldendburningunsoldstockC.whyfashionfirmsburnunsoldclothesinlargenumberseveryyearD.howartificialfabricswillcontributetoglobalwarming【解析】选B。段落大意题。根据第三段的第一句“Nobodyknowsexactlyhowmuchunsoldstockisburntannuallybythosefashionhouses,butburningclotheshasvariousnegativeimpactsontheenvironment.”以及下文提到燃烧人造纤维制成的衣服可能会向大气中释放塑料微纤维,从而加剧全球变暖。由此可知,第三段主要讨论了为什么时装公司应该停止燃烧未售出的库存。2.Theunderlinedexpression“clothingutilization”inthe6thparagraphmeans“_________”.
A.howlongclothinglastsB.howwellclothingsellsC.howoftenclothingisusedD.howclothingisdesigned【解析】选C。词义猜测题。根据下文“ForeveryextraT-shirtthatissold,itwillbewornroughlyhalfasmuchasitwouldhavebeen20yearsago.”可推知,虽然服装销量自2000年以来稳步上升,但服装利用率却有所下降了。由此可知画线短语意思为“衣服的利用率”。3.AllthefollowingpossiblesolutionsarementionedinthepassagetodealwithunsoldclothesEXCEPT_________.
A.makingconsumersfeelbetterabouttheirpurchasesB.redesigningandmakingthemintonewclothesC.conductingresearchonmarketdemandbeforeproductionD.makingclothesoutofenvironmentally-friendlymaterials【解析】选A。细节理解题。根据第四段的第二句、第五段的第一句以及第六段的最后一句可知,重新设计、把它们做成新衣服、生产前对市场需求进行调研以及用环保材料做衣服都是处理未售出衣服的更好方法。只有A项文章并没有提到。故选A。4.Whatcanwelearnfromthelastparagraph?A.Burningclothesisabetteroptionforeveryfashionfirm.B.Consumersplayakeyroleinstoppingburningclothes.C.Thesecretthatsomefashionfirmsburnclothesiswellkept.D.Today’sclothesarebetterthanthosetwodecadesago.【解析】选B。推理判断题。根据最后一段最后两句“Ifprotectingtheenvironmentreallymatterstothepublic,theyhavetomakeclearthattheywantmoresustainableclothinginthefirstplace.Withoutconsumersdemandingthat,itwon’tchange.”可知,消费者在阻止衣服燃烧方面起着关键作用。BMarch3marksWorldHearingDay.Thisyear’sthemeis“Hearingforlife:don’tlethearinglosslimityou”.Manyexpertsandhealthorganizations,includingthosewhopayattentiontothehearing-impaired(听力障碍),areworkingtohelppeoplerealizetheimportanceofprotectingtheirhearingandavoidhearingloss.Whenwetalkaboutmusic,whatkindoffeelingsdoesitbring?Excitement...andrelaxation.Butwhatifthemusiclastsforhours?WeinterviewedagroupofmusiciansbasedinBeijingduringtheweekend.Theyallsaidthathoursofexposuretoloudmusiccancausediscomfort.Oneaddedthatbandmembersliketoplayatmaximumvolume(音量)andforgettheharmthatloudmusiccancause.Thesamethingnotonlyoccurstomusicians.It’salsonotrarefordailyuserssincelisteningtoloudmusiconloudsoundequipmenthasbecomeapartofmodernlife.AccordingtotheWHO,thepracticehasputmorethanabillionpeoplearoundtheworld,aged12-35,atriskoflosingtheirhearing.Wealsointerviewedsomeheadphoneusersinthestreet,andmostofthemsaidthattheyarenotheavyusersbutadmittedtheyuseheadphonesforhoursonthesubwayandintheofficeorhome.It’seasyforthesepeopletograduallyincreasethevolumewithoutawareness,especiallyinanoisyenvironment.Often,headphoneusersfailtorealizethey’relisteningtoaudioatunsafelevelsuntilserioushearingproblemssuddenlyoccur.Therearemanyreasonsforhearingloss,includingloudacoustic(听觉的)sources,drugabuse,anddiseases.Expertssuggestfrequentmedicalchecksandpreventionmeasures.Whethercongenital(先天的)oracquired,lossofhearingisusuallyirreversible.“Oncethehearinglossoccurs,it’salreadytoolatetobechangedbacktowhatitwasbefore,”saidYangShiming,expertoftheChinesePLAGeneralHospital.“Earlyprevention,earlyidentificationandearlytreatment.Ifeveryonecoulddothesethings,hearinglossanditsharmcouldbekepttoaminimum,”Yangsaid.Ofcourse,thisappliestoeveryoneofus.【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了听力损失的严重性及原因,并呼吁人们要有保护听力的意识,做好预防。5.WhatdoesYangShimingadvisepeopletodoabouthearingloss?A.Getridofdrugabuse.B.Makepreventionaheadoftime.C.Stopplayingmusicinbands.D.Choosemusicwiththehelpofmusicians.【解析】选B。细节理解题。根据最后一段第三、四句“Earlyprevention,earlyidentificationandearlytreatment.Ifeveryonecoulddothesethings,hearinglossanditsharmcouldbekepttoaminimum”可知,YangShiming建议人们做好提前预防。故选B。6.Whichcanbestexplain“irreversible”underlinedinthelastparagraph?A.Incurable.
B.Unavailable.C.Unbelievable. D.Invisible.【解析】选A。词义猜测题。根据画线词后面的句子“Oncethehearinglossoccurs,it’salreadytoolatetobechangedbacktowhatitwasbefore”可知,一旦发生听力损失,要恢复原来的状态已经太迟了。由此可推知,irreversible意为“无法治愈的,不可逆的”。7.Whatcanbeasuitabletitleforthetext?A.PreventingHearingLossB.ReasonsforLosingHearingC.TheOriginofWorldHearingDayD.RaisingAwarenessofProtectingHearing【解析】选D。标题归纳题。根据全文和第一段第三句可知,文章主要想提高人们对保护听力的重要性的认识。D项“RaisingAwarenessofProtectingHearing”概括了本文的主旨,最适合做标题。Ⅱ.完形填空
