    B
    Dior was born in Normandy in 1905, and his family’s original plans for him included a career in the diplomatic service, but by the time he was twenty-three, with his parents’ money, he opened a small art gallery in Paris. By 1931, the money had been used up. Dior’s friends in the art gallery asked him to draw and he took his first step at designing and drawing. His first job was with Lucien Lelong from whom Dior learned his craft（手艺）.
    In February, 1947, Dior started the New Look in his first major Paris collection. He was backed by a famous textile producer, Boussac, who looked after the dollars, while Dior looked after the fashions. Dior knew nothing about cutting and sewing, but he was good at fashion design.
    The New Look started an entirely different look to costume, with a tiny waist, a rounded shoulder and a shapely bust（胸围）, usually with a low-cut neckline and a long full skirt. To women who had lived through the war years, the femaleness of the New Look was a great success, for people were tired of the extremely plain, wartime restrictive fashions.
    It is said that dresses by Dior were “constructed like buildings”, but young people were attracted to his design, and all over the western world, manufacturers plunged into（投入）the production of his new style. Dior’s revolutionary designs lighted up a whole cycle of fashion - rounded, gentle, feminine - a delight in elegance. A New kook House of Dior opened in 1948, followed by one in London. Considered as King of Couture （Women’s clothing） for years, the Dior Empire grew until it covered every country in the western world, and included furs, jewelry, perfumes, men’s wear and so on. Over 1,000 people worked at the Paris headquarters then.
    His sudden death in 1957 when he was 52 years old did not stop the growth of the House of Dior. Even now, so many years after his death, his name is closely connected with fashion throughout the world, and indeed is one of the most recognized names in the world. His first great New Look, with its long skirts, was an expression of freedom in the late 1940s.
    60. Which of the following designs is close to Dior’s?

    61. According to the passage, in Dior’s life, he did not _________.
    A. make creative fashion designs
    B. work in a diplomatic service
    C. learn craft as his first job
    D. open a New Look House
    62. We can infer from the passage that ________.
    A. Dior and his supporter had different interests in business
    B. Dior’s New Look had little influence on people then
    C. Dior is only a brand of women’s fashion
    D. Dior’s fashion was not accepted at first
    63. What is probably the best title for the passage?
    A. The History of the New Look
    B. The Growth of the Dior Empire
    C. An Expression of Freedom - Dior
    D. The Founder of the New Look - Dior

    60.C 61.B 62.A 63.D

    第三部分任务型阅读（满分10分）
    Stress is an uncomfortable feeling in the mind from any situation or thought that makes you feel frustrated, angry, or anxious. Stress if often accompanied by physical symptoms, including twitching or trembling, muscle tension, headaches, sweating, dry mouth, difficulty swallowing, rapid or irregular heart rate, rapid breathing, fatigue, loss of temper, sleeping difficulties and nightmares, decreased concentration.
    Stress is a normal part of life. In small quantities, stress is good – it can motivate you and help you be more productive. However, too much stress, or a strong response to stress, is harmful. It can cause general poor health as well as specific physical or depression. Persistent and never-ceasing stress often leads to anxiety and unhealthy behaviors like overeating and abuse of alcohol or drugs.
    Certain drugs can lead to symptoms of stress due to side effects. Such drugs include caffeine, alcohol, nicotine, cocaine and diet pills. A poor diet – for example, low levels of vitamin B 12 – can also contribute to stress or anxiety. Performance stress is related to specific situations, like taking a test or making a presentation in public. Posttraumatic stress develops after an unforgettably shocking event like war, physical attacks, or a natural disaster.
    Any effective ways to cope with your stress or anxiety? One step is to make a list of what you think might be making you ‘stress out’: What do you worry about most? Is something constantly on your mind? Does anything in particular make you sad or depressed?
    Then, find someone you believe in who will listen to you. Often, just talking to a friend or loved one is all that is needed to relieve anxiety. Most communities also have support groups and hotlines that can help. Social workers, psychologists, and other mental health professionals may be needed for therapy and medication (疗法和打坐).
    Also, find healthy ways to deal with stress. For example, eat a well – balanced, healthy diet, don’t overeat, get enough sleep, exercise regularly, limit caffeine and alcohol. Don’t use nicotine, cocaine, or other recreational drugs. Learn and practice relaxation techniques like yoga and tai chi. Take breaks from work. Make sure to balance fun activities with your responsibilities. Spend time with people you enjoy. Find self – help books at your local library or bookstore.

    Section B
    Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrases that best fits the context.
    I have been told in China, having a pet, particularly a dog, is often considered to be a status symbol because it shows the family can   36   to have an animal. It is different here.
    In Canada it is   37   for people to have pets. Many people have dogs. Many others have cats and there are people who keep fish, birds or rabbits. Some keep what we call exotic pets. These might be ferrets, snakes or almost any other animal you can think of, although keeping   38   pets is often difficult and because it can also be hard on the animal. The keeping of some exotic animals is not allowed by law.
    Now, my wife and I live in a small town. We no longer have a   39   --- we live in an apartment. We have a cat named Callie and she never goes out   40   onto the balcony so cars are no longer an issue. She’s about sixteen years old and will probably live to be twenty or more. The   41   will come when she dies and we no longer have a pet. We have had a pet for so long it seems like a natural part of our lives and without a cat around the house it will seem somehow   42  . On the other hand, we are getting older and given that a cat can live about twenty years we wonder if we will ever have another after Callie goes. Cats are cutest, of course, when they are small kittens but a kitten is   43   for a longer time than we may have left.
    I think having a pet is very good for a number of reasons. It helps to teach children how to look after a   44   creature, makes them realize that animals have feelings just like we do and that, in many ways, we depend on each other. For older people like me an animal is a   45   and a comfort to have around, a pet, properly treated, returns the favor by   46   unconditional love. Wouldn’t this world be a great place if people could learn how to do that.
    36. A. buy                      B. afford            C. supply             D. provide
    37. A. common               B. unusual            C. particular          D. public

    C
    An old story goes as follows．King took another wife, who had a magic mirror. The queen often asked the mirror, “Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of all?” The mirror answered “You, Queen, are the fairest of all,” and the Queen was content, because she knew the mirror could speak nothing but the truth．
    Inspired by the fairy tale, a New York-based designer has come up with a mirror equipped with infrared （红外线的） technology that sends a live video to any cell phone, e-mail account or personal digital assistant （PDA） device selected by a shopper．
    Christopher Enrich, chief technology officer for digital design company IconNicholson, said putting these mirrors outside store fitting rooms meant women could go shopping with their friends — even they are far apart．
    “She could be in Paris, your mom, watching you try on your wedding dress（while you are in New York）,” Enright told Reuters Tuesday as he exhibited the interactive （互动的）mirror at a  trade show．
    Using the interactive mirror, a shopper’s friends can then text message back with comments about the clothes being tried on．
    Shoppers can also use touch screens on the three-paneled （面板） mirror to choose matching shoes or accessories （配件）, Enright said．
    The left-hand panel has a touch screen that allows a customer to select a different suit from a database, and then see how it looks on her in the center mirror without physically putting the clothes on．
    The right-hand panel has a screen offering more information about other shoes or accessories the shopper also might like．
    Enright said teenagers were already using their cell phones to send pictures to their friends when they were out shopping．“This is ．．．adding technology to something we already do,” Enright said．
    66．The interactive mirror mentioned in the text ______．
    A．involves modern technology and great advantages
    B．allows women shoppers to select clothes at home
    C．was displayed and sold well at a trade show
    D．spares people’s trouble of going shopping
    67．Which is the most possible order according to the passage?
    ① Shoppers’ friends or relatives text message back with comments．
    ② Mirrors send a live video to any mobile phone, e-mail account or PDA．
    ③ Consumers make a final decision．
    ④ Shoppers try on the clothes．
    A．①②③④        B．④③②①  C．②①④③    D．④②①③
    68．From the passage we can conclude that ______．
    A．the interactive mirrors will surely promote sales on a large scale
    B．the designer of the mirror has profited a lot from the invention
    C．the new shopping technology would cater to fashion hunters
    D．the digital mirrors will replace all traditional fitting-rooms
    69．Which of the following descriptions about the touch screen is true?
    A．It enables a shopper to order a suit which is not available now．
    B．It allows shoppers to “try on” chosen clothes without putting them on．
    C．The touch screens are distributed on three more panels．
    D．It provides information merely about shoes and accessories．
    70．What is the text mainly about?
    A．The great influence of a fairy tale．
    B．The development of the interactive mirror．
    C．Working principles of a digital product．
    D．Technology added to traditional products．

    “Good evening, everybody!” said the teacher, Donna. “Where is everybody?” That was sort of a daily joke by Donna. Usually the class started with only two or three students present, and then filled up as the minutes went by. It was summertime. Summer school was only eight weeks long. Class attendance was always smaller than during fall and spring semesters.
    “I don’t know, teacher. Maybe they late or no come,” said one student. “Maybe watching TV football tonight.”
    “Is there a soccer game tonight? It seems like there’s a soccer game every night. Oh, well. Let’s get started, okay? We’re on page 36 in the workbook. Tonight we’re studying participles as adjectives. Students are always confused when they learn about the present and past participles, so we will practice this a lot. Tonight, we’re just going to practice the present participle.
    “The present participle tells us what emotion or feeling the subject is causing. For example, ‘Grammar is boring’ means that the subject—grammar—causes an emotion of boredom. If we say, ‘The movie is interesting,’ we are saying that the movie causes a feeling of interest. If we say, ‘The roller coaster is exciting,’ we are saying that the roller coaster causes a feeling of excitement. Any questions so far? Am I confusing you? Is everyone confused?”
    The classroom was quiet. Donna looked at blank faces. They were confused. She knew this would take a while. But eventually, the faster students would grasp it, and then they would help the slower students. By the end of the evening, most of the class would feel comfortable using the present participle.
    Donna erased the board and put some new examples on it. She loved guiding her students through difficult topics like this one. She always felt a little bit thrilled when the look of understanding came to their faces.
