But does this rule result from born difference between sexes or are they culturally constructed?In 1918 a trade magazine for baby clothes companies said although opinions varied on this subject, there was a generally accepted rulepink for the boy and blue for the girl，because pink being a more decided and stronger color is more suitable for the boy；while blue which is more delicate and elegant is prettier for the girl.Unluckily，this attempt at setting the rule for sellers and producers clearly did not work. A 1927 chart in Time Magazine contacted department stores in various cities and asked what colors they used for boys and girls. The result was all over the map. It wasnt until after the Second World War that the modern standard started to become popular and even so，it didnt get rooted until the 1980s.As for why todays strict color standard set in at all, a sociologist at the University of Maryland thinks they are basically the outcome of a marketing technique. If salesmen can convince you of following the standard, you will buy a certain product，which makes sense in promoting its sales. Another historian from the same university argues that the rule we use today may reflect the influence of French fashion. Traditional French culture paired pink with girls and blue with boys and because France set the fashion in the 20th century，their tradition ruled the world.So do girls prefer pink and boys prefer blue from birth? It depends on whom you ask. The debate about how we got to the point will probably continue. After all, a century ago a magazine firmly declared the opposite rule.【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文。我们总是被告知男孩喜欢蓝色，女孩喜欢粉红色。文章对其中的原因进行了分析论述。1When did todays strict standard set in peoples mind?AUntil the 1980s.BIn 1927.CIn 1918.DAfter 1945.【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句中的“the modern standard started to become popular and even so，it didnt get rooted until the 1980s”可知，直到20世纪80年代现代的标准才扎根于人们的脑海中。【答案】A2What made the generally accepted rule change to todays standard?AThe fast changing society.BThe functions of colors.CThe success of marketing techniques.DThe purpose of French businessmen.【解析】细节理解题。根据第四段第一句“As for why todays strict color standard set in at all, a sociologist.they are basically the outcome of a marketing technique.”可知，营销技术的成功使公认的规则转变为今天的标准。【答案】C3The underlined part“all over the map” in the third paragraph probably refers to “ ”Ain a messBin the mapCin agreementDin order【解析】指代判断题。根据第三段第一句“Unluckily，this attempt at setting the rule for sellers and producers clearly did not work.”以及最后一句“It wasnt until after the Second World War that the modern standard started to become popular.”，并结合选项可知，1927年当时还没有统一的标准，即结果是混乱的。【答案】A4Todays strict color standard may contribute to Amaking products more beautifulBattracting more visitors to FranceCbringing in more sales profitsDunderstanding boys and girls easily【解析】细节理解题。根据第四段第二句“If salesmen can convince you of following the standard, you will buy a certain product，which makes sense in promoting its sales.”可知，当今的颜色标准可能有助于促进产品的销售，进一步带来更多的销售利润。【答案】CB(2015安徽高考)When her five daughters were young，Helene An always told them that there was strength in unity(团结)To show this，she held up one chopstick，representing one person.Then she easily broke it into two pieces.Next，she tied several chopsticks together，representing a family.She showed the girls it was hard to break the tied chopsticks.This lesson about family unity stayed with the daughters as they grew up.Helene An and her family own a large restaurant business in California.
