Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. 45 If women are mercilessly exploited (剥削 ) year after year, they have only themselves to blame. Because they trem
29、ble at the thought of being seen in public in clothes that are out of fashion, they are always taken advantage by the designers and the big stores. Clothes which have been worn only a few times have to be put aside because of the change of fashion. When you come to think of it, only a woman is capab
30、le of standing in front of a wardrobe (衣柜 ) packed full of clothes and announcing sadly that she has nothing to wear. Changing fashions are nothing more than the intentional creation of waste. Many women spend vast sums of money each year to replace clothes that have hardly been worn. Women who can
31、not afford to throw away clothing in this way, waste hours of their time altering the dresses they have. Skirts are lengthened or shortened; neck-lines are lowered or raised, and so on. No one can claim that the fashion industry contributes anything really important to society. Fashion designers are
32、 rarely concerned with vital things like warmth, comfort and durability (耐用 ). They are only interested in outward appearance and they take advantage of the fact that women will put up with any amount of discomfort, as long as they look right. There can hardly be a man who hasnt at some time in his
33、life smiled at the sight of a woman shaking in a thin dress on a winter day, or delicately picking her way through deep snow in high-heeled shoes. When comparing men and women in the matter of fashion, the conclusions to be drawn are obvious. Do the constantly changing fashions of womens clothes, on
34、e wonders, reflect basic qualities of inconstancy and instability? Men are too clever to let themselves be cheated by fashion designers. Do their unchanging styles of dress reflect basic qualities of stability and reliability? That is for you to decide. 46 Designers and big stores always make money
35、_. （ A） by mercilessly exploiting women workers in the clothing industry （ B） because they are capable of predicting new fashions （ C） by constantly changing the fashions in womens clothing （ D） because they attach great importance to quality in womens clothing 47 To the writer, the fact that women

37、lity 49 According to the passage, which of the following statements is TURE? （ A） New fashions in clothing are created for the commercial exploitation of women. （ B） The constant changes in womens clothing reflect their strength of character. （ C） The fashion industry makes an important contribution
38、 to society. （ D） Fashion designs should not be encouraged since they are only welcomed by women. 50 By saying “the conclusions to be drawn are obvious“ (Para. 4 ), the writer means that _. （ A） womens inconstancy in their choice of clothing is often laughed at （ B） women are better able to put up w
39、ith discomfort （ C） men are also exploited greatly by fashion designers （ D） men are more reasonable in the matter of fashion 50 When a consumer finds that an item she or he bought is faulty or in some other way does not live up to the manufacturers claim for it, the first step is to present the war
40、ranty (保单 ) , or any other records which might help, at the store of purchase. In most cases, this action will produce re- suits. However, if it does not, there are various means the consumer may use to gain satisfaction. A simple and common method used by many consumers is to complain directly to t
41、he store manager. In general, the “higher up“ the consumers takes his or her complaint, the faster he or she can expect it to be settled. In such a case, it is usually settled in the consumers favour, assuming he or she has a just claim. Consumers should complain in person whenever possible, but if
42、they can not get to the place of purchase, it is acceptable to phone or write the complaint in a letter. Complaining is usually most effective when it is done politely but firmly, and especially when the consumer can demonstrate what is wrong with the item in question. If this can not be done, the c
43、onsumer will succeed best by presenting specific information as to what is wrong, rather than by making general statements. For example, “The left speaker does not work at all and the sound coming out of the right one is unclear“ is better than “This stereo (立体声音响 ) does not work. “ The store manage
44、r may advise the consumer to write to the manufacturer. If so, the consumer should do this, stating the complaint as politely and as firmly as possible. But if a polite complaint does not achieve the desired result, the consumer can go a step further. She or he can threaten to take the seller to cou
45、rt or report the seller to a private or public organization responsible for protecting consumers rights. 51 When a consumer finds that his purchase has a fault in it, the first thing he should do is to _. （ A） complain personally to the manager （ B） threaten to take the matter to court （ C） write a

47、 effective complaint can be made by _. （ A） showing the faulty item to the manufacturer （ B） explaining exactly what is wrong with the item （ C） saying firmly that the item is of poor quality （ D） asking politely to change the item 54 The phrase “live up to“ ( Para. 1 ) in the context means _. （ A）

49、deal with complaints from customers 55 For some time past it has been widely accepted that babies-and other creatures-learn to do things because certain acts lead to “rewards“; and there is no reason to doubt that this is true. But it used also to be widely believed that effective rewards, at least in the early stages, had to be directly related to such basic physiological (生理的 ) “drives“ as thirst or hung
