河南鄭州市2016高考英語閱讀理解二輪練習（6）閱讀理解閱讀下面短文，從每題所給的四個選項a、b、c和d中，選出最佳答案。 there is probably no field of human activity in which our values and lifestyles are shown more clearly and strongly than they are in the clothes that we choose to wear.the dress of an individual is a kind of “sign language” that communicates a set of information and is usually the basis on which immediate impressions are formed.traditionally,a concern for clothes was considered to be an affair of females,while men took pride in the fact that they were completely lacking in clothes consciousness(意識). this type of american culture is by degrees changing as man dress takes on greater variety and color.even as early as 1955,a researcher in michigan said that men attached rather high importance to the value of clothing in daily life. white collar workers in particular viewed dress as a symbol(象征)of ability,which could be used to impress or influence others,especially in the work situation.the white collar worker was described as extremely concerned about the impression his clothing made on his superiors(上司).although blue collar workers were less aware(察覺到的)that they might be judged on the basis of their clothing,they recognized that any difference from the accepted pattern of dress would be made fun of by fellow workers. since that time,of course,the patterns have changed:the typical office worker may now be wearing the blue shirt,and the laborer a white shirt;but the importance of dress has not become less.other researchers in recent years have helped to prove its importance in the lives of individuals at various age levels and in different social and economic status groups(階層).36.the passage tells us that _.a.our values and lifestyles are in no field of human activityb.the clothes that we choose to wear have something to do with our values and lifestylesc.our values and lifestyles are from the sign languaged.the clothes we choose to wear depend on a set of information

influence on consumers desire to go green. however, shoppers are still laying stress on environmental concerns.two thirds of customers say that environmental considerations inform their purchases to the same degree as they did a year ago, while more than a quarter say that they are now even better aware of the environmental effect on what they buy.this may help to influence how shops store goods on their shelves. and the companies should still make efforts to become more environmentally friendly. two out of three people think it is important to buy from environmentally responsible companies, with about one in seven saying that they had even decided to take their custom elsewhere if they felt a companys environmental reputation was not good enough.harry morrison, chief executive（主管）of the carbon trust, sympathizes：“i understand this situation where survival is very important now. but from environmental considerations, the clock is tickingwe dont have much time. in addition, cutting carbon has an immediate effect as costs drop and a medium-term benefit for the brand.”larger companies have an extra motivation to look at reducing their carbon footprint, as new rules next year will require businesses to buy carbon allowances to make up for their emissions（排放）. those that have taken early action will have a head start. more than two thirds of consumers are not clear about which companies are environmentally responsible. this suggests that firms that are able to relay clearly their message to the public will be in a pole position to attract shoppers.the carbon trust believes that it can help by informing customers about the good work companies are doing. “when companies are granted（授予）the standard, they can use a logo（標識）in all their marketing which makes it clear that they are working towards cutting emissions,” mr. morrison said. ( ) 1. whats the main idea of the passage?a. businesses are finding ways to send their message to the shoppers.b. companies will soon get information about cutting carbon emissions.c. firms are making efforts to encourage customers to keep goods at home.d. firms are urged to cut carbon emissions by shoppers environmental awareness.( ) 2. the underlined word “inform” in paragraph 2 probably means“ ”.a. affect b. change c. disturb d. reject( ) 3. according to harry morrison, businesses .a. will benefit from cutting carbon emissionsb. should buy carbon allowances for shoppersc. are required to make up for their carbon emissionsd. have encouraged shoppers to take their custom elsewhere( ) 4. we can learn from the passage that businesses will .a. have a strong desire to reduce costsb. use the same logo in their marketingc. gain advantages by taking early actiond. attract more shoppers by storing goods【語篇解讀】本篇文章為說明文。現(xiàn)在顧客購物已經(jīng)開始考慮環(huán)保的問題。面臨顧客環(huán)保的心理需求，企業(yè)只有主動采取措施，減少排放，才會更好地贏得顧客的信賴，進而獲得更好的收益1.答案 d?！窘馕觥恐髦即笠忸}。根據(jù)第一段最后一句“however, shoppers are still laying stress on environmental concerns”及最后一段第一句可知，企業(yè)因購買者的環(huán)保意識而去減排。故選d項。2.答案 a?！窘馕觥吭~義猜測題。由本段中“while more than a quarter say that they are now even better aware of the environmental effect on what they buy”可知，現(xiàn)在三分之二的顧客在購物時對環(huán)境的考慮比一年前程度加深了。因此a項符合句子意思3.答案 a。解析】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段最后一句“cutting carbon has an immediate effect as costs drop and a medium-term benefit for the brand”可以推斷出：商業(yè)會受益于減排。因此a項符合文章。4.答案 c?！窘馕觥客评砼袛囝}。根據(jù)第五段最后一句“this suggests that firms that are able to relay clearly their message to the public will be in a pole position to attract shoppers”可知，早采取行動減排的企業(yè)可以更好地吸引顧客。因此可以推斷出c項。閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項（a、b、c、d）中，選出最佳選項。the myth of superwomanfor the past generation, our society has tried to sell us the idea of the woman who has it all and does it all. we stand in awe of women who run successful businesses, volunteer for community service, keep beautifully decorated homes, send hand-written letters, cook and entertain guests with style, attend artistic functions, bring up happy children and look like a million bucks to boot. as we stand gaping at these idols of domestic and economic success, we wonder exactly where we fell short of achieving their outstanding merits.was it when we had the third or fourth child and suddenly found ourselves lacking in extra hands? was it when we burned supper on the stove while trying to retrieve the crayons from toddler who has redecorated a wall? was it when we sat down in the midst of a toy-strewn living room only to hear the doorbell ring and suddenly remember this was our afternoon to host the monthly ladies? these are not the questions we ought to ask ourselves. the real question is, when did i buy into this myth that i can do it all?because we have this tendency to accept what we see superficially as deep-down reality, we need to be careful that we do not idealize people we do not know. we especially need to be careful that we dont make them a false standard and spend frustrated hours trying to achieve what we believe they have done. its time to allow our idols to step down and be the flesh-and-blood human beings that they are.superwoman is dead. in fact, superwoman never existed except in our wildest imaginations. the whole notion that one woman can have it all and do it all is false from beginning to end. the amazing thing is that we are gullible enough to accept it as truth and feel guilty for not achieving what we feel we are somehow obligated as women to achieve.it is time to free ourselves from this false standard. we all must make choices about what we do. when you choose one thing, something else must necessarily fall through the cracks. its wrong to feel guilty that we arent able to cram more things into our already overcrowded days.trying to be superwoman doesnt help anyone. it cannot be done. it is a sure path to failure and disappointment. the path to life and health and peace is the way of humility, service and love for others, not seeking praise or recognition but being willing to work hard day after day and find our fulfillment in what god has given our hands to do. let superwoman die; put her superhuman accomplishments out of your mind.when we make the decision not to be superwoman, we make the decision to put other people before our own desires, the desires that take many shapes. for one woman it is the desires to have a successful business career. for another it is a classy wardrobe and flawless appearance. for yet another it is the shining talent that must not be hidden. accomplishments can and do have their place in life, but they must never replace our relationships with flesh-and-flood people. 閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項（a、b、c、d）中，選出最佳選項。 the weight of paperthe arrival of computer everywhere in the workplace would, some technological forecasters predicted, soon make paper a thing of the past.and guess what? bill gates vision of a computer on every desk has been more or less realized. yet, most of the folks working at those desks are knee-deep in paper. in fact, sales of the stuff are growing.research from a new book, the myth of paperless office suggests our increasing use of paper is due to the introduction of the very digital technology that was supposed to wipe it out.the case studies on e-mail in the workplace, for example, show that it can lead to a 40% rise in paper consumption - this does not take into account the amount of paper used to print information from the internet.xeroxs core business involved paper, and it was understandably alarmed by the prospect of its going out of fashion. so the research center invented the computing and printer technology that made sure it didnt. t
