2、e, and few are brave enough to ignore the trends of fashion. Most fashion magazines or TV advertisements try to persuade us that we should dress in a certain way or behave in a certain manner. If we do, they tell us, we will be able to meet new people with confidence and deal with every situation co
3、nfidently and without embarrassment. Changing fashion, of course, does not apply just to dress. A barber today does not cut a boys hair in the same way as he used to, and girls do not make up in the same way as their mothers and grandmothers did. The advertisers show us the latest fashionable styles
4、 and we are constantly under pressure to follow the fashion in case our friends think we are odd or dull. What causes fashions to change Sometimes convenience or practical necessity or just the fancy of an influential person can establish a fashion. Take hats, for example. In cold climates, early bu
5、ildings were cold inside, so people wore hats indoors as well as outside. In recent times, the late President Kennedy caused a depression in the American hat industry by not wearing hats, more American men followed his example. There is also a cyclical(周期性的 ) pattern in fashion. In the 1920s in Euro
6、pe and America, short skirts became fashionable. After World War Two, they dropped to ankle length. Then they got shorter and shorter until the miniskirt was in fashion. After a few more years, skirts became longer again. Today, society is much freer and easier than it used to be. It is no longer ne
7、cessary to dress like everyone else. Within reason, you can dress as you like or do your hair the way you like instead of the way you should because it is the fa shion. The popularity of jeans and the “untidy” look seems to be a reaction against the increasingly expensive fashion of the top fashion
8、houses. At the same time, appearance is still important in certain circumstances and then we must choose our clothes carefully. It would be foolish to go to an interview for a job in a law firm wearing jeans and a sweater, and it would be discourteous(失礼的 ) to visit some distinguished scholar lookin

38、【小题 1】 B 【小题 2】 D 【小题 3】 C 【小题 4】 B We hear with our ears, right Yes, but scientists have known for years that we also hear with our eyes. In a study published in 1976, researchers found that people combined both auditory cues(听力提示 ) and visual ones， like mouth and face movements, when they heard sp
39、eech. A new study that looks at a different set of sensory cues adds to a growing body of evidence that suggests such combination is natural. In a paper, Bryan Gick and Donald Derrick report that people can hear with their skin. The researchers had volunteers listen to spoken syllables. Meanwhile, t
40、hey connected the volunteers to a device that would blow a tiny puff (气流 ) of air onto the skin of their hands or necks. The syllables included “ba” and “pa”, which produce brief puffs from the mouth when spoken, and “da” and “ta,” which do not produce puffs. They found that when listeners heard “da
41、” or “ta” while a puff of air was blown onto their skin, they considered the sounds as “ba” or “pa”. Dr. Gick said the findings were similar to those from the 1976 study, in which visual cues defeated auditory ones volunteers listened to one syllable but thought it another because they were watching
42、 a video of mouth movements corresponding to the second syllable. In his study， he said， cues from sensory receivers on the skin defeated the ears as well. “Our skin is doing the hearing for us,” he said. Dr. Gick noted that it would normally be rare that someone actually sensed a puff of air produc
43、ed by another, although people might occasionally sense their own puffs. “Whats so persuasive about this particular effect,” he added. “is that people are picking up on this information that they dont know they are using.” That supports the idea that combining different sensory cues is natural. Dr.
44、Gick said the finding also suggested that other sensory cues might be at work in speech perception(知觉 ) that, as he put it, “we are these fantastic perception machines that take in all the information available to us and combine it faultlessly.” 【小题 1】 “Da” or “ta” were considered as “ba” or “pa” wh

In 1997 the small Danish island of Samso, located in the Kattegat Strail, won a contest hosted by the Danish Ministry of Environment and Energy. Samso, then known for its dairy
48、 and pig farms, would become Denmarks showcase for sustainable power, eventually going carbon-free. How that would happen, however, was far from clear, since the government initially offered no funding, tax breaks or technical expertise(专门知识 ). Given that almost all its power came from oil or coal and the islands 4,300 residents didnt know a wind turbine(风力发电机 ) from a grain silo(谷仓 ) Samso seemed an strange choice. Soren Hermansen, though, saw a
