Ⅱ.阅读理解
“Fast fashion” means clothes which are inexpensive but look like the latest designs. One reason for the success of fast fashion is the rise of the social media. A report by the investment research firm Bernstein found that Millennials—people born in the 1980s and 90s—wanted to wear a variety of clothes in the photos they posted on social media. As a result, many businesses which offer trendy and low-cost clothes are growing.
But the situation is changing now. Maxine, a woman in her early thirties, looks in her closet full of clothes, but she has nothing to wear. She says she hates always shopping for what is in style. Instead, she wants to buy fewer clothes that she can wear over and over. “Other people want the same thing,” she says.
So Maxine and a business partner, Soraya, started a “slow fashion” clothing company called Zady. “Slow
fashion” means clothes that last a long time. They often feature classic colours and shapes, and are made from natural materials.
The terms “fast fashion” and “slow fashion” are related to “fast food ” and “slow food”: fast food is still popular in the US, but many restaurants increasingly offer high-quality, more expensive and relaxed meals.
Like slow food, slow fashion also aims to use sources that are good for the environment and workers. Maxine says people in her generation want to know where their clothes come from and who is making them. To answer Millennials’ demand for information about the products they buy, Ms Maxine’s company, Zady, includes details about the history of the brands. It also describes the process in which the clothes are made. Maxine says Zady aims to tell shoppers where their clothes come from, where they go, and how they impact the world.
The international business H&M is answering Millennials’ demands in another way. It has created a recycling programme for clothes. Shoppers who bring clothes they no longer want to H&M stores can receive a discount on new things they buy. An H&M spokesman says, “We have a clear vision to avoid and minimize waste that goes into landfills.”
1. About Millennials, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE? A. Most of them are in their twenties or thirties. B. They are crazy about fashionable and cheap clothes. C. They contributed a lot to the rise of fast fashion.
D. They may have a taste for clothes of classic colours and shapes now. 2. “Slow food” is mentioned in the passage to tell us .
A. it is healthier than fast food B. why fast food is so popular in the US C. it is a kind of slow fashion D. why slow fashion comes now 3. What can we learn about the programme of H&M in the last paragraph? A. It can benefit the environment.
B. The company only sells clothes made of recycling materials. C. Customers may receive a discount if they buy some outdated clothes. D. It will take the lead in the latest fashion. 4. Which is the best title of the text?
A. Fast fashion, good or bad B. Slow fashion is in fashion C. Fast food or slow food D. What is out of fashion Ⅲ.写作

第二节 概要写作
阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
While many of us go to sleep before midnight, some teenagers choose to stay up much later. They are not driven by the burning desire to write a better essay or achieve a higher grade. Instead, they are busy playing online games. Known as young Internet addicts, they have long been a problem in China. A report released in 2010 by the China Youth Association for Network Development showed that there were over 24 million young Internet addicts among China’s young urban Internet users. The report also said that over 18 million youths had a tendency to develop Internet addiction.
To deal with the problem of Internet addiction among teenagers, the Cyberspace Administration of China released draft regulations in January which carries out a ban on online gaming. If the regulations are adopted, under-18s would be banned from playing online games between midnight and 8 am.
As soon as the government’s draft law surfaced, it drew great attention from the public. Some applauded the law as a way to better protect minors(未成年人), saying that too much overnight gaming is harmful to minors’ health and believing the period between midnight and 8 am to be vital to human physical functions. However, others wondered whether it would be practicable if it came into effect, as minors could just borrow their parents’ IDs to register accounts to play online games. The Guangming Daily suggested that parents should help their teenagers find a balance between the cyber-world and the real world.
China is by no means the only one trying to fight against teenage gaming addiction. Germany introduced a regulation in 2002 in an attempt to stop minors from playing online games from 10 pm to 6 am. Meanwhile, the UK, the US and Australia have forced a rating system on computer games to make sure that teenagers cannot access “adult” content such as violence, sex or bad language.

Ⅱ.【文章大意】 快时尚曾经深受年轻人的追捧,但是现在慢时尚已经开始流行起来了。
1.B 细节理解题。根据首段第一句话可知,B项是说他们十分热衷快时尚;再根据第二段 “She says she hates always shopping for what is in style. Instead, she wants to buy fewer clothes that she can wear over and over. ‘Other people want the same thing,’ she says.”可知,她现在已经不喜欢快时尚了,她想少买些衣服,而且那些衣服可以穿很多次,故她已经厌倦了快时尚,所以B是错误的。
2.D 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段 “Like slow food, slow fashion also aims to use sources that are good for the environment and workers.”可知,是为了说明慢时尚正在流行的原因。
3.A 推理判断题。根据最后一段中 “It has created a recycling programme for clothes. Shoppers who bring clothes they no longer want to H&M stores can receive a discount on new things they buy. An H&M spokesman says, ‘We have a clear vision to avoid and minimize waste that goes into landfills.’”可知选A。
4.B 主旨大意题。本文主要介绍了快时尚已经不再流行了,慢时尚逐渐流行起来了,因此B项为最佳标题。 Ⅲ.第一节
