河北省常州市2016高考英语完形填空和阅读理解一轮练习(4)【2015高考复习】阅读理解For anyone who is determined to be a fashion designer,it is not enough to have succeeded in college.The real test is whether they can survive,and become established during their early 20s,making a name for themselves in the real world where business skills can be as important as talent and creativity.Fashion is a hard business.There is a continuous amount of stress because work is at a constant and extremely fast speed to prepare for the next seasons collections.It is extremely competitive and there is the constant need to make attractive advertisements of the latest fashion in newspapers and magazines.It also requires continual freshness because the appetite for new ideas is hard to satisfy.“We try to warn people before they come to us about how tough it is.” says Lydia Kemeny,Head of Fashion at St.Martins School of Art in London.“And we point out that drive and determination are absolutely necessary.” This may seem far removed from the popular opinions of fashionable young people spending their time designing pretty dresses.That may well be what they do in their first year of study but a good college wont be slow in introducing students to commercial realities,“We dont walk our foot on the blossoming flower of creativity but in the second year we start introducing the restrictions of price,producing ability,marketing and so on.”Almost all fashion design is done to a brief.It is not a form of selfexpression as such,although there is certainly room for imagination and creativity.Most young designers are going to end up as employees of a producer or a fashion house and they still need to be able to work within the characteristic style of their employer.Even those students who are most modern in their own taste of clothes may need to adapt to produce designs which are right for the mainstream of the market.They also have to be able to work at both the expensive and the cheap end of the market and the challenge to produce good design inexpensively may well be demanding.【语篇解读】成为时尚设计师并不是件容易的事。仅仅在大学校园里获取学业的成功是不够的,时尚在不断变化,商业技巧和天赋、创造性同样重要。 5Which of the following is mainly discussed in the passage?ATalent in fashion.BGood marks at college.CAbility to create new designs.DBusiness skills in fashion industry.解析主旨大意题。第一段是文章的主题段,通读全文可知整篇文章介绍的是在时尚业应该掌握怎样的商业技巧才能立足。答案D6What can we learn from the second paragraph?AFashion designers are highly motivated and really detemined.BGood preparations for the next season can reduce stress.CConsumers appetite for new ideas keeps changing.DAdvertisement business is very competitive.解析细节理解题。从第二段中的“It also requires continual freshness because the appetite for new ideas is hard to satisfy.”可知消费者对时尚的追求是不断变化的。 答案C7What does the underlined word “This” in Paragraph 3 refer to?ALydia Kemenys opinion.BThe competitive business world.CThe warning to the young designers.DThe real situation in fashion industry.解析代词指代题。通过阅读第二、三段可知,This指代的是第二段讲到的内容,即时尚界的真实情况。 答案D8Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?ASt.Martins School of Art encourages the new students to design dresses they like.BSt.Martins School of Art requires students to develop their creativity in their designing.CSt.Martins School of Art demands students to make pretty dresses for companies.DSt.Martins School of Art focuses on teaching students commercial realities. 解析正误判断题。根据第三段的第二句和第三句可知该校重视教学生有关商业方面的知识。答案D高考英语冲刺阅读理解专项。Ive written 14 moviesMy characters smoke in many of them, and they look cool and glamorous(有魅力的) doing itSmoking was an integral(必需的) part of many of my screenplays because I was a heavy smokerIt was part of a bad-boy image Id cultivated for a long time smoking, drinking, partying, rock n rollSmoking, I once believed, was every persons rightThe second-hand smoke was non-existent problem invented by professional do-goodersI put all these views into my playsRemembering all this, I find it hard to forgive myselfI have been an accomplice (帮凶) to the murders of untold numbers of human beingsI am admitting this only because I have made a deal with GodSpare me, I said, and I will try to stop others from committing the same crimes I didEighteen months ago I was diagnosed with throat cancer, the result of a lifetime of smokingI am alive but disabledMuch of my larynx (喉) is goneI have some difficulty speaking; others have some difficulty understanding meI havent smoked or drunk for 18 months now, though I still take it day by day and pray for helpI believe in prayer and exerciseI have walked five miles a day for a year, without missing even one dayQuitting smoking and drinking has taught me the hardest lesson Ive ever learned about my own weakness; it has also given me the greatest affection and empathy(同感) for those still addictedI dont think smoking is every persons right anymoreI think smoking should be as ill
