30、the war 答案： 【小题 1】 C 【小题 2】 C 【小题 3】 C 【小题 4】 B C It is hardly surprising that clothing manufacturers(生产商 ) follow certain uniform standards for various features(特征 ) of clothes. What seems strange, however, is that the standard adopted for women is the opposite of the one for men. Take a look at th
31、e way your clothes button. Mens clothes tend to button from the right, and womens form the left. Considering most of the words population-men and women-are right-handed, the mens standard would appear to make more sense for women. So why do womens clothes button from the left History really seems to
32、 matter here. Buttons first appeared only on the clothes of the rich in the 17th century, when rich women were dressed by servants. For the mostly right-handed servants, having womens shirts button from the left would be easier. On the other hand, having mens shirts button form the right made sense,
33、 too. Most men dressed themselves, and a sword drawn from the left with the right hand would be less likely to get caught in the shirt. Today women are seldom dressed by servants, but buttoning form the left is still the standard for them. Is it interesting Actually, a standard, once set, resists ch
34、ange. At a time when all womens shirts buttoned form the left, it would have been risky for any single manufacturer to offer womens shirts that buttoned from the right. After all, women had grown so used to shirts which buttoned from the left and would have to develop new habits and skills to switch
35、. Besides, some women might have found it socially awkward to appear in public wearing shirts that buttoned from the right, since anyone who noticed that would believe they were wearing mens shirts. 64. What is surprising about the standard of the clothing industry A. It has been followed by the ind
36、ustry for over 400 years. B. It is different for mens clothing and womens. C. It woks better with men than with women. D. It fails to consider right-handed people. 65. What do we know about the rich men in the 17th century A. They tended to wear clothes without buttons. B. They were interested in th
37、e historical matters. C. They were mostly dressed by servants. D. They drew their swords from the left. 66. Womens clothes still button from the left today because . A. adopting mens style is improper for women B. manufacturers should follow standards C. modern women dress themselves D. customs are
38、hard to change 67. The passage is mainly developed by . A. analyzing causes B. making comparisons C. examining differences D. following the time order 答案： 【小题 1】 B 【小题 2】 D 【小题 3】 D 【小题 4】 A D The term “multitasking” originally referred to a computers ability to carry out several tasks at one time.
39、For many people, multitasking has become a way of life and even a key to success. In fact, some excellent mental aerobic exercises (大脑训练 ) involve engaging the brain in two or more challenging activities at a time. Although checking e-mail while talking on a phone and reading the newspaper may be se
40、cond nature for some people, many times multitasking can make us less productive, rather than more. And studies show that too much multitasking can lead to increased stress, anxiety and memory loss. In order to multitask, the brain uses an area known as the prefrontal cortex (前额叶脑皮层 ). Brian scans o
41、f volunteers performing multiple tasks together show that as they shift from task to task, this front part of the brain actually takes a moment of rest between tasks. You may have experienced a prefrontal cortex “moment of rest” yourself if youve ever dialed (拨电话 ) a phone number and suddenly forgot
42、ten who you dialed when the line is answered. What probably occurred is that between the dialing and the answering, your mind shifted to anther thought or task, and then took that “moment” to come back. Research has also shown that for many volunteers, job efficiency (效率 ) declines while multitaskin
43、g, as compared to when they perform only one task at a time. Multitasking is easiest when at least one of the tasks is habitual, or requires little thought. Most people dont find it difficult to eat and read the newspaper at the same time. However, when two or more attention-requiring tasks are atte
44、mpted at one time, people sometimes make mistakes. We often dont remember things as well when were trying to manage several details at the same time. Without mental focus, we may not pay enough attention to new information coming in, so it never makes it into our memory stores. That is one of the ma
45、in reasons we forget peoples names-even sometimes right after they have introduced themselves. Multitasking can also affect our relationships. If someone checks their e-mail while on the phone with a friend, they may come off as absent-minded or disinterested. It can also cause that person to miss o
