If you ask someone why he or she wears clothes, the answer will probably be \worn, but people also want to look attractive and appear successful to others! If people only wore clothes for warmth and to cover their bodies, most clothing would be simple and cheap. In most Western countries, however, clothing is sometimes very expensive. The main reason for this is not the cost of the fabric (布料) or the cost of making the clothes. The clothes are expensive because of fashion. Successful businessmen, for example, often wear very expensive suits, shirts and ties. Sometimes they pay thousands of dollars for a suit and hundreds of dollars for a tie. It's still just a suit and tie but they pay these prices because of the famous name of the designer. A suit costing much less would be just as warm and would cover the wearer's body just as well. Fashion is constantly (不断地) changing, which means that people who
want to be fashionable have to buy new clothes every few months, even if last month's clothes have only been worn once or twice. Some people have wardrobes (衣柜) full of clothes that have hardly been worn but are no longer in fashion. Being fashionable, therefore, can be a very expensive pastime!
Questions 56-58: Choose the best answer from A, B, C and D according to the passage. 56. Why do people wear clothes?
A. Only to cover themselves. B. Just to make themselves attractive. C. Just because of fashion. D. For a variety of reasons. 57. Successful businessmen buy very expensive suits because of the________.
A. cost of the fabric B. famous name of the designer C. cost of making them D. good packages 58. According to the passage, fashionable people have to________.
A. wear their clothes only once B. buy new clothes regularly C. wear last month's clothes D. buy new Clothes once or twice
Questions 59-60: Decide whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F) according to the passage. 59. Successful businessmen pay thousands of dollars for a tie.
60. Some clothes are no longer in fashion though they have hardly been worn. B
There're two main things that make aircraft engineering difficult: the need to make every part as reliable (可靠的) as possible and the need to build everything as light as possible. （61）_____________________
Given a certain power of engine and a certain fuel consumption ( 消耗 ), there is a practical limit to the total
weight of the aircraft that can be made to fly. (62) So the structure of the aircraft has to be as small and light as safety and efficiency (效能) will allow. The designer must
calculate (计算) the normal load (负荷 that each part will bear. This specialist is called the \account of any unusual stress that may be put on the part.
The stress man's calculations go to the designer of the part, and he must make it as strong as the stress man says is necessary. (63) Each separate part is tested, then a whole assembly (装配) --for example, a complete wing, and finally the whole aeroplane. When a new type of aeroplane is being made. normally only one of the first three made will be flown. Two will be destroyed on the ground in structural tests. (64)______________
(65) The first is to find the resistance (阻力) to loading of the wings, tail, etc. until they reach their largest amount of load and collapse (崩溃). The other test is for fatigue ( 疲乏 ) strength. When a plane has passed all the tests it can get a government certificate (证书) of airworthiness, without which it is illegal to fly, except for test flying.
Questions 61-65: Choose from the sentences A-G to complete the passage. There are two extra sentences which you do not need to use.
A, Two kinds of ground strength tests are carried out.
B. One or two samples are always tested to prove that they are as strong as the designer intended.
C. Each may be well under what the structure could stand as a single load, but many repetitions can result in collapse.
D. The third one will be tested in the air.
E. Making the working parts reliable is as difficult as making the structure strong enough: F. The fact that an aeroplane is up in the air and cannot stop if anything goes wrong, makes it
