11、A Directions:Read the following fourtexts.Answer the questions below each text by choosing A,B,C or D.Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.(40 points)Text 1 In the 2006 film version of The Devil Wears Prada,Miranda Priestly,played by Meryl Streep,scolds her unattractive assistant for imagining that h

12、igh fashion doesnt affect her,Priestly explains how the deep blue color of the assistants sweater descended over the years from fashion shows to departments stores and to the bargain bin in which the poor girl doubtless found her garment.This top-down conception of the fashion business couldnt be mo

13、re out of date or at odds with the feverish would described in Overdressed,Eliazabeth Clines three-year indictment of“fast fashion”.In the last decade or so,advances in technology have allowed mass-market labels such as Zara,H&M,and Uniqlo to react to trends more quickly and anticipate demand more p

14、recisely.Quicker turnarounds mean less wasted inventory,more frequent release,and more profit.These labels encourage style-conscious consumers to see clothes as disposable-meant to last only a wash or two,although they dont advertise that and to renew their wardrobe every few weeks.By offering on-tr

15、end items at dirt-cheap prices,Cline argues,these brands have hijacked fashion cycles,shaking an industry long accustomed to a seasonal pace.The victims of this revolution,of course,are not limited to designers.For H&M to offer a$5.95 knit miniskirt in all its 2,300-pius stores around the world,it m

16、ust rely on low-wage overseas labor,order in volumes that strain natural resources,and use massive amounts of harmful chemicals.Overdressed is the fashion worlds answer to consumer-activist bestsellers like Michael Pollans The Omnivores Dilemma.“Mass-produced clothing,like fast food,fills a hunger a

17、nd need,yet is non-durable and wasteful,”Cline argues.Americans,she finds,buy roughly 20 billion garments a year about 64 items per person and no matter how much they give away,this excess leads to waste.Towards the end of Overdressed,Cline introduced her ideal,a Brooklyn woman named Sarah Kate Beau

18、mont,who since 2008 has made all of her own clothes and beautifully.But as Cline is the first to note,it took Beaumont decades to perfect her craft;her example cant be knocked off.Though several fast-fashion companies have made efforts to curb their impact on labor and the environment including H&M,

19、with its green Conscious Collection line Cline believes lasting change can only be effected by the customer.She exhibits the idealism 4 中公考研学员专用资料中公考研学员专用资料 版权所有 翻印必究 common to many advocates of sustainability,be it in food or in energy.Vanity is a constant;people will only start shopping more susta

20、inably when they cant afford not to.21.Priestly criticizes her assistant for her（B）A poor bargaining skill.B insensitivity to fashion.C obsession with high fashion.D lack of imagination.22.According to Cline,mass-maket labels urge consumers to（A）A combat unnecessary waste.B shut out the feverish fas

23、A Satire on an extravagant lifestyle.B Challenge to a high-fashion myth.C Criticism of the fast-fashion industry.D Exposure of a mass-market secret.Text 2 An old saying has it that half of all advertising budgets are wasted-the trouble is,no one knows which half.In the internet age,at least in theor

24、y,this fraction can be much reduced.By watching what people search for,click on and say online,companies can aim“behavioural”ads at those most likely to buy.In the past couple of weeks a quarrel has illustrated the value to advertisers of such fine-grained information:Should advertisers assume that

25、people are happy to be tracked and sent behavioural ads?Or should they have explicit permission?In December 2010 Americas Federal Trade Cornmission(FTC)proposed adding a do not track(DNT)option to internet browsers,so that users could tell adwertisers that they did not want to be followed.Microsofts

26、 Internet Explorer and Apples Safari both offer DNT;Googles Chrome is due to do so this year.In February the FTC and Digltal Adwertising Alliance(DAA)agreed that the industry would get cracking on responging to DNT requests.On May 31st Microsoft Set off the row:It said that Internet Explorer 10,the

27、version due to appear windows 8,would have DNT as a default.It is not yet clear how advertisers will respond.Geting a DNT signal does not oblige anyone to stop tracking,although some companies have promised to do so.Unable to tell whether someone really objects to behavioural ads or whether they are

28、 sticking with Microsofts default,some may ignore a DNT signal and press on anyway.Also unclear is why Microsoft has gone it alone.Atter all,it has an ad business too,which it says will comply with DNT requests,though it is still working out how.If it is trying to upset Google,which relies almost wh

29、olly on default will become the norm.DNT does not seem an obviously huge selling point for windows 8-though the firm has compared some of its other products favourably with Googles on that count before.Brendon Lynch,M Microsofts chief privacy officer,bloggde:we believe consumers should have more con

30、trol.Could it really be that simple?26.It is suggested in paragraph 1 that“behavioural”ads help advertisers to（B）6 中公考研学员专用资料中公考研学员专用资料 版权所有 翻印必究 A ease competition among themselves B lower their operational costs C avoid complaints from consumers D provide better online services 27.“The industry”(L

32、an nature 29.which of the following is ture according to Paragraph.6?（A）A DNT may not serve its intended purpose B Advertisers are willing to implement DNT C DNT is losing its popularity among consumers D Advertisers are obliged to offer behavioural ads 30.The authors attitude towards what Brendon L

34、technology would cure all the ills of humanity,leading to lives of fulfillment and opportunity for all.Now utopia has grown unfashionable,as we have gained a deeper appreciation of the range of threats facing us,from asteroid strike to epidemic flu and to climate change.You might even be tempted to

35、assume that humanity has little future to look forward to.But such gloominess is misplaced.The fossil record shows that many species have endured for millions of years-so why shouldnt we?Take a broader look at our species place in the universe,and it becomes clear that we have an excellent chance of

36、 surviving for tens,if not hundreds,of thousands of years.Look up Homo sapiens in the Red List of threatened species of the International Union for the Conversation of Nature(IUCN),and you will read:Listed as Least Concern as the species is very widely distributed,adaptable,currently increasing,and

37、there are no major threats resulting in an overall population decline.So what does our deep future hold?A growing number of researchers and organisations are now thinking seriously about that question.For example,the Long Now Foundation has its flagship project a medical clock that is designed to st

38、ill be marking time thousands of years hence.Perhaps willfully,it may be easier to think about such lengthy timescales than about the more immediate future.The potential evolution of todays technology,and its social consequences,is dazzlingly complicated,and its perhaps best left to science fiction

39、writers and futurologists to explore the many possibilities we can envisage.Thats one reason why we have launched Arc,a new publication dedicated to the near future.But take a longer view and there is a surprising amount that we can say with considerable assurance.As so often,the past holds the key

40、to the future:we have now identified enough of the long-term patterns shaping the history of the planet,and our species,to make evidence-based forecasts about the situations in which our descendants will find themselves.This long perspective makes the pessimistic view of our prospects seem more like

41、ly to be a passing fad.To be sure,the future is not all rosy.But we are now knowledgeable 8 中公考研学员专用资料中公考研学员专用资料 版权所有 翻印必究 enough to reduce many of the risks that threatened the existence of earlier humans,and to improve the lot of those to come.31.Our vision of the future used to be inspired by（B）A

42、 our desire for lives of fulfillment B our faith in science and technology C our awareness of potential risks D our belief in equal opportunity 32.The IUCNs“Red List”suggest that human being are（A）A a sustained species B a threaten to the environment C the worlds dominant power D a misplaced race 33

43、.Which of the following is true according to Paragraph 5?（D）A Arc helps limit the scope of futurological studies.B Technology offers solutions to social problem.C The interest in science fiction is on the rise.D Our Immediate future is hard to conceive.34.To ensure the future of mankind,it is crucia

44、l to（C）A explore our planets abundant resources B adopt an optimistic view of the world C draw on our experience from the past D curb our ambition to reshape history 35.Which of the following would be the best title for the text?（C）版权所有版权所有 翻印必究翻印必究 9 中公考研学员专用资料中公考研学员专用资料 报名专线：报名专线：400400-63006300-9

45、66966 A Uncertainty about Our Future B Evolution of the Human Species C The Ever-bright Prospects of Mankind D Science,Technology and Humanity Text 4 On a five to three vote,the Supreme Court knocked out much of Arizonas immigration law Monday-a modest policy victory for the Obama Aministration.But

46、on the more important matter of the Constitution,the decision was an 8-0 defeat for the federal government and the states.An arizona.United States,the majority overturned three of the four contested provisions of Arizonas controversial plan to have state and local police enfour federal immigrations

47、law.The Constitutional principles that Washington alone has the power to establish a uniform Rule of Anturalization and that federal laws precede state laws are noncontroversial.Arizona had attempted to fashion state police that ran to the existing federal ones.Justice Anthony Kennedy,joined by Chie

48、f Justice John Roberts and the Courts liberals,ruled that the state flew too close to the federal sun.On the overturned provisions the majority held the congress had deliberately occupied the field and Arizona had thus intruded on the federals privileged powers However,the Justices said that Arizona

49、 police would be allowed to verify the legal status of people who come in contact with law enforcement.That s because Congress has always envisioned joint federal-state immigration enforcement and explicitly encourages state officers to share information and cooperate with federal colleagues.Two of

50、the three objecting Justice-Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas-agreed with this Constitutional logic but disagreed about which Arizona rules conflicted with the federal statute.The only major objection came from Justice Antonin Scalia,who offered an even more robust defense of state privileges going b
