For most people, the word "fashion (時尚)" means "clothes". But people may ask the question, "What clothes are in fashion?" And they use the word "fashionable" in the same way:
"She was wearing a fashionable coat. His shirt was really a fashionable colour. "
But of course there are fashions in many things, not only in clothes. There are fashions in holidays, in restaurants, in films and books. There are even fashions in school subjects, jobs ... and in languages.
Fashions change as time goes. If you look at pictures of people or things from the past, you will see that fashions have always changed. An English house of 1750 was different from one of 1650. A fashionable man in 1780 looked very different from his grandson in 1860.
Today fashions change very quickly. Some of this is natural. We hear about things much more quickly than in the past. Newspapers, radios, telephones and television send information from one country to another in a few hours.
New fashions mean that people will buy new things, so you see there is money in fashion.
小題1:Most people think that "fashion" means __________.
A．subjectsB．holidaysC．booksD．clothes
小題2:By          we can see that fashions change as time goes.
A．finding a job
B．looking at pictures
C．eating in a restaurant
D．wearing a fashionable coat
小題3:In the 5th paragraph the writer mentions            kinds of ways to send information.
A．threeB．fourC．fiveD．six
小題4:"There is money in fashion" means
A．people like fashion and money
B．fashionable things are expensive
C．one can make money through fashion
D．a fashionable man makes much money
小題5:The passage is mainly about              .
A．the changes of fashions
B．the kinds of colours
C．the money in fashion
D．the differences between houses

小題1:D
小題2:B
小題3:B
小題4:C
小題5:A
短文屬于說明文。講述了時尚的表現，以及隨著時間及科技發(fā)展時尚的發(fā)生的變化。
小題1:細節(jié)理解題。從短文第一段“For most people, the word "fashion" means "clothes".”可知。
小題2:綜合理解題。從第三段“Fashions change as time goes. If you look at pictures…”可知。
小題3:細節(jié)理解題。從第五段最后一句“Newspapers, radios, telephones and television”可知，提到了四種。
小題4:推理判斷題。根據最后一段“New fashions mean that people will buy new things”作者的觀點是人們要花錢買新時尚，所以這里的意思是，通過新時尚可以掙錢。
小題5:主旨大意題。短文主要講的是時尚的表現和時尚的變化，所以B、C、D三項與此關系不大，應排除。

A taboo(忌諱，禁忌) is a social action that is not allowed. Every culture in the world has its own taboos. The breaking of a taboo sometimes makes people feel uncomfortable. I learned this through my own experience.
Last weekend, Wang Lin and I showed two foreigners around our city. Mr Singh was from India and Mr. White from USA. When I held out my left hand to shake hands with him, Mr. Singh seemed to be unhappy. Mr. White, however, was quite casual. He said hello to me with a big smile and a wave of his hand.
In the evening, we stopped at a restaurant for dinner. I noticed that Mr. Singh didn’t touch the beef and Mr. White seemed not to like chickens’ claws. During the meal, Wang Lin said sorry to Mr. Singh and continued to explain that we didn’t know it was a taboo in India to shake one’s left hand. Mr. Singh explained that since oxen are sacred(神圣的) in India, people don’t eat beef there. Mr. White joined in and said that it was not usual in the states for people to eat chickens’ claws. He went on to say that Americans don’ t usually get into each other’ s personal space. Marriage, job and age are their taboos. Isn’ t it a good lesson to remember?
