Directions:There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.
Passage One
The January fashion show, called FutureFashion, exemplified how far green design has come. Organized by the New York-based nonprofit Earth Pledge, the show inspired many top designers to work with sustainable fabrics for the first time. Several have since made pledges to include organic fabrics in their lines.
The designers who undertake green fashion still face many challenges. Scott Hahn, cofounder with Gregory of Rogan and Loomstate, which uses all-organic cotton, says high-quality sustainable materials can still be tough to find. \designers with existing labels are finding there aren't comparable fabrics that can just replace what you're doing and what your customers are used to,\says. For example, organic cotton and non-organic cotton are virtually indistinguishable once woven into a dress. But some popular synthetics, like stretch nylon, still have few eco-friendly equivalents. Those who do make the switch are finding they have more support. Last year the influential trade show Designers & Agents stopped charging its participation fee for young green entrepreneurs (企业家) who attend its two springtime shows in Los Angeles and New York and gave special recognition to designers whose collections are at least 25% sustainable. It now counts more than 50 green designers, up from fewer than a dozen two years ago. This week Wal-Malt is set to announce a major initiative aimed at helping cotton farmers go organic. It will buy transitional (过渡型的) cotton at higher prices, thus helping to expand the supply of a key sustainable material. \Hahn.
Some analysts(分析师) are less sure. Among consumers, only 18% are even aware that ecofashion xists, up from 16% four years ago. Natalie Hormilia, a fashion writer, is an example of the unconverted consumer. When asked if she owned any sustainable clothes, she replied: \aware of. \\stuff that isn't too expensive\By her own admission, green just isn't yet on her mind. But--thanks to the combined efforts of designers, retailers and suppliers--one day it will be. 57.
What is said about FutureFashion?
A It inspired many leading designers to start going green. B It showed that designers using organic fabrics would go far.
C It served as an example of how fashion shows should be organized.
D It convinced the public that fashionable clothes should be made durable. 该题您未回答:х 该问题分值: 8答案:A

According to Scott Hahn, one big challenge to designers who will go organic is that______.
A much more time is needed to finish a dress using sustainable materials B they have to create new brands for clothes made of organic materials C customers have difficulty telling organic from non-organic materials D quality organic replacements for synthetics are not readily available 该题您未回答:х 该问题分值: 8答案:D

Scientists have devised a way to determine roughly where a person has lived using a strand (缕) of hair, a technique that could help track the movements of criminal suspects or unidentified murder victims.
The method relies on measuring how chemical variations in drinking water show up in people's hair.
\the University of Utah.
While U. S. diet is relatively identical, water supplies vary. The differences result from weather patterns. The chemical composition of rainfall changes slightly as rain clouds move.
Most hydrogen and oxygen atoms in water are stable, but traces of both elements are also present as heavier isotopes (同位素). The heaviest rain falls first. As a result, storms that form over the Pacific deliver heavier water to California than to Utah.
Similar patterns exist throughout the U. S. By measuring the proportion of heavier hydrogen and oxygen isotopes along a strand of hair, scientists can construct a geographic timeline. Each inch of hair corresponds to about two months.
Cerling's team collected tap water samples from 600 cities and constructed a map of the regional differences. They checked the accuracy of the map by testing 200 hair samples collected from 55 barber shops.
They were able to accurately place the hair samples in broad regions roughly corresponding to the movement of rain systems.
\not good for pinpointing (精确定位) ,\Cerling said. \good for eliminating many possibilities. \
Todd Park, a local detective, said the method has helped him learn more about an unidentified woman whose skeleton was found near Great Salt Lake.
The woman was 5 feet tall. Police recovered 26 bones, a T-shirt and several strands of hair.
When Park heard about the research, he gave the hair samples to the researchers. Chemical testing showed that over the two years before her death, she moved about every two months.
She stayed in the Northwest, although the test could not be more specific than somewhere between eastern Oregon and western Wyoming.
\62.
What is the scientists' new discovery?
A One's hair growth has to do with the amount of water they drink. B A person's hair may reveal where they have lived. C Hair analysis accurately identifies criminal suspects.

What is said about the rainfall in America's West?
A There is much more rainfall in California than in Utah. B The water it delivers becomes lighter when it moves inland. C Its chemical composition is less stable than in other areas. D It gathers more light isotopes as it moves eastward. 该题您未回答:х 该问题分值: 8答案:B

Free Admissions to Museums? 该题您未回答:х 该问题分值: 106[范文] Free Admissions to Museums?
Recently, more and more museums are open to the public free of charge. By doing so. they can attract more visitors, and offer the visitors more opportunities to explore and get easy access to the world of history. culture and knowledge.
However, some people view that the practice also brings problems and concerns. They are right in a sense. For one thing, their main concern is that with more visitors．it is possibility that objects exhibited can get damaged more easily. For another. it becomes a huge economic burden for museums to run as usual without any profits from the visitors.
In my opinion, I am absolutely in favor of this practice. The reason lies in the fact that the government should provide more opportunities for citizens to explore and get access to the knowledge world. Moreover，kids and teenagers can acquire knowledge in a more vivid way in the museums. I hope all the people can share the game national treasures in more free museums.

How Do You See Diversity? As a manager, Tiffany is responsible for interviewing applicants for some of the positions with her
company. During one interview, she noticed that the candidate never made direct eye contact. She was puzzled and somewhat disappointed because she liked the individual otherwise. He had a perfect résumé and gave good responses to her questions, but the fact that he never looked her in the eye said \
\perfect person,\candidate's \raised in a household where respect for those in authority was shown by averting (避开) your eyes. \missed out, but will not miss that opportunity again.\
Many of us have had similar encounters with behaviors we perceive as different. As the world becomes smaller and our workplaces more diverse, it is becoming essential to expand our understanding of others and to reexamine some of our false assumptions. Hire Advantage
At a time when hiring qualified people is becoming more difficult, employers who can eliminate invalid biases (偏见) from the process have a distinct advantage. My company, Mindsets LLC, helps organizations and individuals see their own blind spots. A real estate recruiter we worked with illustrates the positive difference such training can make.
\my Mindsets coaching session, I was taught how to recruit a diversified workforce. I recruited people from different cultures and skill sets. The agents were able to utilize their full potential and experiences to build up the company. When the real estate market began to change, it was because we had a diverse agent pool that we were able to stay in the real estate market much longer than others in the same profession. \Blinded by Gender
Dale is an account executive who attended one of my workshops on supervising a diverse workforce. \not been looking at a person as a whole person, and being open to differences.\In his case, the blindness was not about culture but rather gender.
\had a management position open in my department; and the two finalists were a man and a woman. Had I not attended this workshop, I would have automatically assumed the man was the best candidate because the position required quite a bit of extensive travel. My reasoning would have been that even though both candidates were great and could have been successful in the position, I assumed the woman would have wanted to be home with her children and not travel, \another example of the well-intentioned but incorrect thinking that limits an organization's ability to tap into the full potential of a diverse workforce.
\present the full range of duties, responsibilities and expectations to all candidates and allow them to make an informed decision.\on fairness.\
Year of the Know-It-All
Doug is another supervisor who attended one of my workshops. He recalls a major lesson learned from his own employee.
\request to take time off to celebrate Chinese New Year. In my ignorance, I assumed he had his dates
wrong, as the first of January had just passed. When I advised him of this, I gave him a long talking to about turning in requests early with the proper dates.
\Western New Year. He explained politely that in his culture the new year did not begin January first, and that Chinese New Year, which is tied to the lunar cycle, is one of the most celebrated holidays on the Chinese calendar. Needless to say, I felt very embarrassed in assuming he had his dates mixed up. But I learned a great deal about assumptions, and that the timing of holidays varies considerably from culture to culture.
\the diversity workshop helped me realize how much I could learn by simply asking questions and creating dialogues with my employees, rather than malting assumptions and trying to be a know-it-all,\more 'inclusive' to-differences.\A Better Bottom Line
An open mind about diversity not only improves organizations internally, it is profitable as well. These comments from a customer service representative show how an inclusive attitude can improve sales. \has done is to contract with a language service that offers translations over the phone. It wasn't until my boss received Mindsets' training that she was able to understand how important inclusiveness was to customer service. As a result, our customer base has increased. \
Once we start to see people as individuals, and discard the stereotypes, we can move positively toward inclusiveness for everyone. Diversity is about coming together and taking advantage of our differences and similarities. It is about building better communities and organizations that enhance us as individuals and reinforce our shared humanity.
When we begin to question our assumptions and challenge what we think we have learned from our past, from the media, peers, family, friends, etc. , we begin to realize that some of our conclusions are flawed (有缺陷的) or contrary to our fundamental values. We need to train ourselves to think differently, shift our mindsets and realize that diversity opens doors for all of us, creating opportunities in organizations and communities that benefit everyone. 1.
