第二部分 阅读理解 (共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)

第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）

A

My topic is fashion, and to make my talk more lively, I have brought along five objects. Fashion is important to all of us. Now we are all wearing school uniforms. When we go home, what do we do? We change into other clothes. If we are going out, we like to wear fashionable clothes. So my first object is this blouse. It looks beautiful, doesn’t it? It is my most expensive piece of clothing, and I love it. It costs over $600. You may say that it is too expensive, but luckily I can afford it. The more you spend, the better the quality is. So you see, fashion is quite important to me, I admit it.

However, I’m not as fond of fashion as my elder brother. Last summer, my parents took us both to London. They wanted to show us some fashion sights. But my brother Gary did not appreciate the old buildings. He just wanted to spend all his time in the big shopping arcades, searching for the coolest pair of trousers! For him, fashion was more important than culture. These are the trousers he bought. Were they worth the expense of a trip to London to buy these? I don’t think so. I think it was a waste of time and money.

We must, however, remember that fashion is a very big business. Changes in fashion can create or lose jobs. As an example, I have brought this blonde wig to show you. Do you like it? It belongs to one of my mother’s friends. She told me that in the 1960s, it was fashionable for Western women to wear wigs. But a few years later fashions changed and women wore wigs much less often. Then the wig factories closed down and hundreds of workers lost their jobs.

36. The writer is at the moment ______.

A. selling some fashionable clothes

B. buying the coolest school uniforms

C. making a speech to the fellow students

D. traveling to London

37. According to the passage, the author showed all these objects EXCEPT ______.

A. the blonde wig B. the expensive blouse

C. the cool trousers D. the school uniform

38. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?

A. The author doesn’t like fashion as much as her elder brother.

B. At one time, wearing wigs was fashionable for Western women.

C. Fashion is important to people who like it.

D. The higher the price is, the better the quality is.

39. What does the author want to tell us in the last paragraph?

A. Wigs were always popular in the past.

B. People in the east once liked wearing blonde wigs.

C. Fashion is actually a business.

D. Business often depends on the production of wigs.

B

The quality of citizens, the progress of culture, the prosperity of a country, and the advancement of social affairs are all determined by education. The persons who are responsible for achieving this great target are teachers who are being described as “the architect of human spirit”.

It is, by no means, an over-statement that teaching profession is the noblest profession. However, what is shocking is that teachers are losing their status day by day in today’s society. Nowadays, only those who cannot find a job elsewhere have no other choice but to be teachers.

As far as I can remember, when we were students, we had to greet our teachers whenever and wherever we met them. Teachers were trusted by parents and society and were regarded almost as saints (圣人). Nevertheless, in a short span of a decade, these “privileges (特权)” seem to have disappeared like bubbles. Some students treat their teachers as strangers the moment they leave the classroom.

The reasons why teachers’ status is low in the present society are complex (复杂的). No matter how “sacred” a profession is, there are certainly some black sheep in it. They are the ones who have spoilt the good reputation of teachers.

Another reason is that Eastern traditional virtues and manners are being destroyed. Thus, students no longer pay great respect to their teachers.

It could also be due to the little chance of promotion that teaching profession offers. This directly affects the quality of teachers. In the eyes of the public, teachers are those who graduated with average or even poor results while those who came out with flying colors are always unwilling to teach.

Teachers’ status has some connection with the success of education and education has much to do with the future of the nation and individuals. Therefore, it is our immediate task to upgrade the teachers’ status.

40. In this passage the author mainly talks about ______.

A. teachers’ quality B. teachers’ education

C. teachers’ reputation D. teachers’ status

41. How many reasons are mentioned for
