APowerful, gifted, beautiful, strong, they are inspirations for millions of people all over the world, not only for their talent and style, but also for their life stories.Coco ChanelCoco Chanel lived for seven years in an orphanage after her parents died, and it was there that a seamstress (女裁缝）taught her how to sew. Once she turned 18, she left to work for a dressmaker and began an affair with a French millionaire who introduced her to some of life’s luxuries (奢侈品): dresses and jewelry. Eventually he, Etienne Balsan, financed her relocation to Paris and the opening of her first hat shop.Louis VuittonLouis Vuitton was born in Jura, France, but he famously moved to Paris the very old-fashioned way: on foot. He walked 250 miles to the fashion capital of the world, where he became an apprentice (学徒) to luggage-maker Monsieur Marechal. Soon he began to design his own luggage.Karl LagerfeldKarl Lagerfeld left his native Germany for school in Paris at the age of 22. He won a contest held by the International Wool Secretariat for a coat designs, and thereafter he was named artistic director of Chanel, which had been suffering poor reviews and sales for over a decade. He breathed new life into the project with his remarkable eye for street-style trends, reestablishing Chanel’s fame in the world of high fashion.Yves Saint LaurentYves Saint Laurent, like his design contemporary Karl Lagerfeld, won first prize in an International Wool Secretariat competition in 1954 for his sketch of a cocktail dress. His win led to an interview with Christian Dior in Paris, who hired him immediately. When Dior died in 1957, Yves, who had been Dior’s “right arm,” was named Dior’s head designer at the age of 21.21. ________ helped Chanel become world famous again in the world of high fashion.A. Coco ChanelB. Louis VuittonC. Karl LagerfeldD. Yves Saint Laurent22. Which of the following is NOT true?A. Coco Chanel learned how to sew when she lived in an orphanage.B. Louis Vuitton walked to Paris in a very fashionable way.C. Yves Saint Laurent was similar to Karl Lagerfeld in winning an international competition.D. They all began their career in Paris.23.

The style of some famous brand in fashionBThe lines at the door of Munch’s Burger Shack in Tokyo during lunchtime are getting longer than ever. Haruyuki Sano traveled one and a half hours for a taste of the same cheeseburger President Donald T rump ate with the Japanese prime minister during his visit last week. “It tasted great, like steak,” Sano said after tasting the burger.Trump’s tough talk on trade and security does not always get positive responses in Japan, which sees the U.S. as its most important partner. But his love for the Japanese version of the American hamburger is popular with many here. “I like Trump,” said Sano. He adds that putting one’s country first makes sense. He thinks Japan should do that, too.Munch’s co-owner, Yutaka Yanagisawa, shook Trump’s hand last week after the president finished eating his burger. The president said the food was “very good” “I felt so honored,” Yanagisawa said.Munch’s Burger Shack now offers the “President Trump Set” on its menu. It includes th e burger along with coleslaw (卷心菜沙拉) and French fries. It sells for 1,400 Japanese yen, or $12. And according to Y utaka Yanagisawa, “President Trump Set” is now one of the most popular options on the menu.The experience of eating out in Tokyo is becoming more about fun storytelling, such as sharing Instagram photos of meals，says Jotaro Fujii，a Tokyo-based food adviser. He expects the “Trump effect” for Munch’s Burger Shack to be huge. “Talk of lines brings more lines,” said Fujii. “Rather than simple taste，the value and joy come from being able to say: I had the same burger as Trump.”24. We can learn from the passage that ________.A. Japanese people welcome Trump’s talk on trade and securityB. Sano admires Trump for his putting his country first.C. Yutaka, a Tokyo-based food adviser, shook hands with Trump.D. “President Trump Set” is now the most popular option on the menu.25.

In an advertisementB. In a travel guide.C. In a newspaper.D. In a government reportCSoon, no one will type. I know this because in science-fiction movies people communicate with devices (设备) by talking. Being a person who is aware of technological change and yet still somehow chooses to work for a news magazine, I felt it was my responsibility to test your future for you by collecting voice-controlled devices.I went to my desk，turned on my Lynx SmartGrill and said, “SmartGrill, cook scallops (扇贝).” It asked me to put the scallops on the heated grill (烤架)，told me when to turn them，and informed me when to remove them. I ordered the scallops by speaking to my Amazon Dash, a hand-held stick that made a list of groceries. Talking into my LG Watch Urbane made me seem so powerful. For instance, I can control the air conditioning in my house by giving an order to my wrist. But my favorite thing to talk to is Amazon Echo, a tower-shaped speaker, which could also provide information, play music, read the news, check the weather, and more instantly, it even provided jokes for my column.At first, I was polite with all my devices, s aying “please” and “thank you”. Then I realized how stupid that was, like petting (宠爱) your robot cleaner. So I started to order them around，which felt great. I yelled, “Alexa, off!” Then my son Laszlo started doing it too, and I realized that we sounded like mean (刻薄的) bosses.Eventually, however，Laszlo started insisting I say “please” and “thank you” to my devices. It，s not that he found it a lot of fun to tell his parents to say polite words. It’s because in this way “they said more things back,” and he could continue talking to them. Furthermore, I think Laszlo knows that how your act affects who you are, I’m far less worried that robots are going to be mean, and more worried that they’re going to turn us into total jerks (混蛋). Because I believe saying something awful is far more poisonous than typing it.28. What job does the author probably do?A. A writerB. A typistC. An actorD. An inventor29. If the author wants to buy something, he will talk to ________.A. LG Watch UrbaneB. Lynx SmartGrillC. Amazon DashD. Amazon Echo30. Why did Laszlo demand that his father say polite words to the devices?A. Because he thought it was stupid to say mean words.B. Because he thought it was fun to give parents orders.C. Because he wanted to keep on talking to the devices.D. Because he wanted to make friends with the devices.31. What does the author want to tell us in the last paragraph?A. We have become too dependent on devices.B. Our lives have been greatly changed by devices.C. Parents should set a good example to their children.D. We should stick to being ourselves while using devices.DIn the 1960s, Columbia University graduate student William Labov headed into New York City’s famous department stores Saks, Macy’s and S.Klein and asked all the e mployees he came across single (questions like “where are women’s shoes?” and “where is sportswear?” but he wasn’t really looking for either. Labov already knew the answer — those things were on the fourth floor. All he wanted was to hear the salesperson say it. He was hunting for something more specific: the New YorkThe r-less New “Yawk” accent is as classic as “Rockefella Centa” or the East “Riwa,” but when linguists (语言学家) tried to study r-dropping among native New Yorkers, the results were changeable even for the same person, even for the same word.R-dropping had once been a mark of upper-class prestige (威望) along the East Coast. But at the beginning of the 20th century, as it mixed with the rough-and-ready (粗线条的）developing dialect of arriving New York immigrants, its status changed. By the 1960s it had become the opposite of prestigious. Labov thought the missing r might be better explained by social factors, which is why he picked Saks (a luxury store), Macy’s (a mid-range store), and S.Klein (a bargain store) for his survey. As it turned out, employees at Saks pronounces the r in “fourth floor” more often than those at Macy’s, and much more often than those at S.Klein.If New Yorkers connect r with prestige, why are any dropped at all? Recently, Maeve Eberhardt and Corinne Downs studied r-dropping on the TV show—Say Yes to the Dress—and they may have found an answer. Sales staff at New York’s bridal salon Kleinfeld, where the show is filmed, are well aware of the prestige factor (the higher the client’s budget, the more likely the salesperson is to pronounce the r). However, they drop the r when providing emotional support. For example, when a salesperson comforted a bride who was upset about her dead sister’s absence, the difference was pronounced: “she’s theah though. Just always remembah that.” Anyway, prestige isn’t always the most important thing.32. Why did William Labov head into New York’s department stores?A. To do some shopping.B. To look for some information.C. To practice his English.D. To judge their service quality.33. Before the 20th century, ________.A. r-dropping become the opposite of prestigiousB. r-dropping was quite common among high-status groupsC. many linguists tried to study r-dropping among New YorkersD. most New Yorkers had difficulty pronouncing New York correctly34. What do the sales staff at Kleinfeld think of prestige?A. It’s more important than business.B. It’s as important as emotional support.C. Its importance depends on the occasion.D. It can re flect the clients’ status to some extent.35. What would be the best title for the text?A. What’s With the New Yawk Accent?B. Prestige of New York AccentC. Why the New York Accent Changed?D.
