If you ask me what my favourite sport is, my answer is swimming. I had started learning how to swim when I was five years old and I have been swimming ever since. There are many reasons why I love swimming but I'll just share a few with you, and maybe I can even encourage you to go for a swim.

The first reason why I love swimming is that it can be extremely relaxing. I love the feeling of floating on the water, feeling almost weightless. I find that whenever I leave the pool I feel totally relaxed.

On the other hand, it can also be a competitive sport. It's amazing pushing yourself to the challenge of beating someone else to the finishing line and it's great fun racing across the pool as fast as you can! Trying little tricks like underwater handstands and flips (空翻) also puts a big smile on my face.

Another reason why I love swimming is that it has more varieties (种类) than other sports. Swimming offers many different strokes (游法), so it doesn't feel like you're stuck doing the same thing over and over again.

In the summer, swimming provides a nice break! There's nothing better than jumping into the water on a hot summer's day. The pool makes you feel better immediately. And I think it adds to the summer holiday feeling. As for me the summer months are when I swim most.

And finally, it's a life skill which everyone should have. Not only is it good for your health, but you never know when you'll need your ability to swim.

Twenty­five years ago, most young Britons wanted a career in law, to be a doctor, or, if they were creative enough, to take up singing. But today, things stand differently.

According to a survey by Tesco Mobile, a UK company, the “dream job” of young people aged between 16 and 25 in the UK is a video blogger, or “vlogger”. The survey, carried out among 1, 002 people, found that as much as 40 percent of them put vlogger as their number one choice on a list of ideal careers.

This change is undoubtedly as a result of the Internet and social media. They have made it so much easier to reach audience of the world, without having to enter a career in show business in the traditional way.

In the past, the biggest stars were trained by the Hollywood studios; now, anyone with a computer camera can become a star. Vloggers are the big stars of today because they are normal people interacting with their fans about everyday life.

However, what people see is only the bright side of being a vlogger and they fail to notice the fact that only those who are successful earn fame (名声) and fortune. For every success there are hundreds of others who never get off the starting line. There are the dreams that come true and the dreams that remain dreams forever.

Although being vloggers is popular, some young people choose to follow careers that don't necessarily earn them fame, but allow them to make good use of the Internet to share their hobbies. Young Israeli David Leshaw, for example, runs a business called the Finishers Club. It's an online platform for runners to keep a record of their races. His job allows him to express his enthusiasm, and is always a learning experience. And that's enough for him.

8．What is the passage mainly about?

A．Most young Britons choose to be vloggers as their job.

B．The Internet is influencing young Britons' career choice.

C．The Internet is taking the place of traditional studios.

D．Young Britons cannot find jobs without the Internet.

9．Why do more and more young Britons choose to be vloggers?

A．Vloggers can earn greater fame and more money on the Internet.

B．There is too much competition in the traditional show business.

C．The Internet makes it convenient to enter show business.

D．Anyone with a computer will surely become a star.

10．What can we infer from the fifth paragraph?

A．Only a few vloggers can be successful.

B．A vlogger cannot earn fame and fortune.

C．People often see the bright side of being a vlogger.

D．Dreams will always remain to be dreams.

11．What do young people like David do on the Internet?

A．Learn from others. B．Become an online hit.

C．Hold running races. D．Mix jobs with hobbies.

【答案】8．B 9．C 10．A 11．D

【解析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了由于因特网和社交媒体快速发展，应该年轻人喜欢上了视频博客这个职业，既可以工作还可以娱乐。

【点评】本题考点涉及推理判断和主旨大意两个题型的考查，是一篇科技类阅读，考生需要根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析，推理，概括和归纳，从而选出正确答案。

8．考查主旨大意。根据第二段中的“The survey, carried out among 1, 002 people, found that as much as 40 percent of them put vlogger as their number one choice on a list of ideal careers. ”这项在 1,002 人中进行的调查发现，多达 40% 的人将 vlogger 作为理想职业列表中的第一选择；以及第三段中的“This change is undoubtedly as a result of the Internet and social media. ”这种变化无疑是互联网和社交媒体的结果。可知，互联网正影响着年轻英国人的事业选择。故选B。

9．考查推理判断。根据第三段“This change is undoubtedly as a result of the Internet and social media. They have made it so much easier to reach audience of the world, without having to enter a career in show business in the traditional way. ”这种变化无疑是互联网和社交媒体的结果。他们让接触世界观众变得更加容易，而无需以传统方式进入演艺界。可知，互联网使进入演艺圈更方便。故选C。

10．考查推理判断。根据第五段中的“However, what people see is only the bright side of being a vlogger and they fail to notice the fact that only those who are successful earn fame and fortune. ”然而，人们看到的只是作为一个视频博主的光明面，他们没有注意到只有成功的人才能获得名利。可知，只有几个视频博主可以成功。故选A。

11．考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的“Young Israeli David Leshaw, for example, runs a business called the Finishers Club. It's an online platform for runners to keep a record of their races. His job allows him to express his enthusiasm, and is always a learning experience. And that's enough for him. ”例如，年轻的以色列人 David Leshaw 经营着一家名为 Finishers Club 的公司。这是一个在线平台，供跑者记录他们的比赛。他的工作使他能够表达自己的热情，并且始终是一种学习经历。这对他来说已经足够了。可知，像David这样的年轻人把工作和业余爱好结合在一起。故选D。

D

At your next meeting, wait for a pause in conversation and try to measure how long it lasts.

Among English speakers, chances are that it will be a second or two at most. But while this pattern may be universal, our awareness of silence differs dramatically across cultures.

What one culture considers a confusing or awkward pause may be seen by others as a valuable moment of reflection and sign of respect for what the last speaker has said. Research in Dutch and also in English found that when a silence in conversation stretches to four seconds, people start to feel uneasy. In contrast, a separate study of business meetings found that Japanese people are happy with silences of 8.2 seconds — nearly twice as long as in Americans' meetings.

In Japan it is recognized that the best communication is when you don't speak at all. It's already a failure to understand each other by speaking because you're repairing that failure by using words.

In the US, it may originate from the history of colonial (殖民地) America as a crossroads of many different races. When you have a complex of difference, it's hard to establish common understanding unless you talk and there's understandably a kind of anxiety unless people are verbally engaged to establish a common life. This applies also to some extent to London.

In contrast, when there's more homogeneity, perhaps it's easier for some kinds of silence to appear. For example, among your closest friends and family it's easier to sit in silence than with people you're less well acquainted with.

12．Which of the following people might have the longest silence in conversation?

A．The Dutch. B．Americans. C．The English. D．The Japanese.

13．What might the Japanese agree with in a conversation?

A．Speaking more gives the upper hand.

B．Speak out what you have in your mind.

C．Great minds think alike without words.

D．The shorter talking silence, the better.

14．What can we learn from the text?

A．A four second silence in conversation is universal.

B．It's hard for Americans to reach a common agreement.

C．English speakers are more talkative than Japanese speakers.

D．The closer we and our family are, the easier the silence appears.

15．What does the underlined word “homogeneity” in the last paragraph mean?

A．Similarity. B．Contradiction.

C．Diversity. D．Misunderstanding.

【答案】12．D 13．C 14．D 15．A

【解析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了谈话中的沉默文化。尽管交谈中出现停顿是普遍存在的，但我们对沉默的认识在不同的文化中有着巨大的差异。不同的文化中沉默时间不同，对于沉默的看法也不同。相比而言，亲密的朋友和家人之间更容易出现沉默。

【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，词义猜测和推理判断三个题型的考查，是一篇文化类阅读，考生需要准确捕捉细节信息，并根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析，推理，从而选出正确答案。

12．考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“Among English speakers, chances are that it will be a second or two at most.”对于说英语的人来说，可能最多一两秒钟；以及第三段中的“Research in Dutch and also in English found that when a silence in conversation stretches to four seconds, people start to feel uneasy. In contrast, a separate study of business meetings found that Japanese people are happy with silences of 8.2 seconds — nearly twice as long as in Americans' meetings.”荷兰语和英语的研究发现，当对话中的沉默持续4秒时，人们就会开始感到不安。相反，另一项针对商务会议的研究发现，日本人对8.2秒的沉默感到满意，这几乎是美国人会议时间的两倍。可知，日本人可能在谈话中有最长沉默。故选D。

13．考查推理判断。根据第四段中的“In Japan, it is recognized that the best communication is when you don't speak at all.”在日本，人们认为最好的交流方式是什么都不说。可推知，日本人在对话中可能会同意“心有灵犀一点通”。故选C。

14．考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的“For example, among your closest friends and family it's easier to sit in silence than with people you're less well acquainted with.”例如，在你最亲密的朋友和家人面前，保持沉默比和你不太熟悉的人在一起更容易。可推知，亲密的人之间更容易出现沉默，因此我们和家人越亲密，沉默越容易出现。故选D。

15．考查词义猜测。根据最后一段中的“For example, among your closest friends and family it's easier to sit in silence than with people you're less well acquainted with.”例如，在你最亲密的朋友和家人面前，保持沉默比和你不太熟悉的人在一起更容易。可推知，越亲密的人，越容易出现沉默，因此推断划线所在句意为“相比而言，当有更多相似时，也许沉默更容易出现”。因此划线词意思与similarity意义相近。故选A。

The Red Cross is known for doing some of the most heroic acts in the world. There are Red Cross societies in 190 countries all over the world. Their task is to prevent and alleviate human suffering in the face of sudden serious situations by organizing the power of volunteers and asking people to donate(捐献).

In 1860, Swiss businessman and social activist, Jean Henri Dunant, saw the effects of war, and countries not prepared or able to deal with the suffering of those who had been injured in the Battle of Solferino during the second War of Italian Independence. Dunant organized a group of volunteers to help bring water and food to the injured, to help with medical treatment, or to write letters to the families of those who were dying. After that moment, he knew that more had to be done, and he wrote the book, A Memory of Solferino, which encouraged the public to create an organization which would help the wounded. His writing encouraged more people to support him in creating the International Federation of the Red Cross. And in 1863, International Committee of the Red Cross was founded.

The modern-day Red Cross does more than nursing soldiers during wartime. The group began to spend most of its time on disaster relief and epidemic (流行病) treatment. It has achieved even greater service in humanitarian (人道主义的) programs that serve continuously in both peace and war.

One of the easiest ways you can help the Red Cross is to make sure you are able to donate blood and make an appointment at the Red Cross website. But, donating blood isn't the only way you can help out — the Red Cross also encourages you to donate your time if you can, along with other things the modern-day Red Cross wants you to know.

19．What does the underlined word "alleviate" in Paragraph 1 mean?

A．Lighten. B．Report. C．Express. D．Find.

20．Why did Dunant write A Memory of Solferino?

A．To make more people know the Red Cross.

B．To ask more people to help the wounded.

C．To let people see the effect of wars.

D．To call on people to stop wars.

21．What is the purpose of the last paragraph?

A．To introduce the Red Cross website.

B．To explain the Red Cross's future work.

C．To show how the Red Cross helps needy people.

D．To encourage people to offer help in the Red Cross.

【答案】19．A 20．B 21．D

【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，词义猜测和推理判断三个题型的考查，是一篇文化类阅读，考生需要准确捕捉细节信息，并根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析，推理，从而选出正确答案。

19．考查词义猜测。根据第一段中的”Their task is to prevent and alleviate human suffering in the face of sudden serious situations by organizing the power of volunteers and asking people to donate(捐献).“他们的任务是通过组织志愿者的力量，呼吁人们捐款来预防和减轻人类在面对突发的严重情况时的痛苦。可知，红十字会的任务是通过阻止志愿者以及愿意捐赠的人预防和减轻面对突发严重情况的人的痛苦，由此推测划线词的意思是"降低/减少"。故选A。

20．考查细节理解。根据第二段中的”After that moment, he knew that more had to be done, and he wrote the book, A Memory of Solferino, which encouraged the public to create an organization which would help the wounded.“在那一刻之后，他知道还有更多工作要做，于是他写了《索尔费里诺的记忆》一书，鼓励公众创建一个帮助伤员的组织。可知Dunant写这本书的目的是鼓励公众建立一个可以帮助伤员的组织。故选B。

21．考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的”But, donating blood isn't the only way you can help out — the Red Cross also encourages you to donate your time if you can, along with other things the modern-day Red Cross wants you to know.“但是，献血并不是您可以提供帮助的唯一方式——红十字会还鼓励您尽可能捐出自己的时间，以及现代红十字会希望您知道的其他事情。可推测最后一段是为了鼓励人们向红十字会提供帮助。故选D。

When the cat Fluffy disappeared from her home in Navarre, Ohio, her owner found her high in a tree. She wasn't immediately worried because everyone told her that cats always came down when they were hungry.

That was on a Friday. On Sunday, when the white cat still wouldn't budge and stayed high in the tree, Ellen Albert called Erie Valley Fire and Rescue for help with her pet.

"Fluffy was about 40 feet in the air. Too high for the ladders (梯子) we carry," Ryan Shanower of Erie Valley Fire and Rescue says. "She was also near some power lines that caused danger. We tried cat food on day two of her being there and hoped by evening she'd be down. High winds and hard rain on day one evening and most of day two made the rescue difficult."

Fire Chief Rick Annen made his guess about how the cat ended up so high in the tree. Annen saw hawks (鹰) sitting on a building across the street and noticed Fluffy's collar (颈圈) was missing. He supposed that a hawk had picked up Fluffy by the collar and that she had gotten free and fallen high in the tree.

By day three, the rain had stopped, but Fluffy still wouldn't, or couldn't, come down. The fire department reached out to a local tree service to see if they'd lend a hand to the frightened cat. They showed up with a bucket truck (铲斗车) they use to cut tall trees away. Once the bucket truck was up in the air, Fluffy was down in a minute or two.

It was a happy ending, for sure, but not a common day's work for these firefighters.

22．How did Ellen Albert feel after finding her cat in a tree at first?

A．Worried. B．Calm. C．Angry. D．Helpless.

23．Which of the following is closest in meaning to "budge" in Paragraph 2?

A．Eat. B．Trap. C．Fall. D．Move.

24．How was the cat rescued finally?

A．By using a bucket truck.

B．By cutting the tree down.

C．By providing food for her.

D．By using a long enough ladder.

【答案】22．B 23．D 24．A

【解析】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了一只猫跑到了树上，好几天不下来，最后在消防员使用铲斗车的帮助下，终于救下这只猫。

【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解和词义猜测两个题型的考查，是一篇故事类阅读，考生需要准确捕捉细节信息，并根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行推理，归纳，从而选出正确答案。

22．考查细节理解。根据第一段中的”She wasn't immediately worried because everyone told her that cats always came down when they were hungry."她没有立即表示担忧，因为每个人都告诉她，当猫饿了适合，它们总会下来的。可知起初她是平静的，故选B。

23．考查词义猜测。根据第二段中的“On Sunday，when the cat still wouldn't budge and stayed high in the tree.”在周日，当这只猫仍然不想动弹，高高地待在树上时。可知move与budge类似，故选D。

24．考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段中的“They showed up with a bucket truck they use to cut tall trees away. Once the bucket truck was up in the air, Fluffy was down in a minute or two.”他们与一辆用来看高大树木的铲斗车一起出现。铲斗车一升到空中，Fluffy一两分钟内就下来了。故选A。

Most young people enjoy some forms of physical activity.It may be walking，cycling，or swimming，or in winter，skating or skiing.It may be a game of some forms—football，basketball，hockey，golf or tennis.It may be mountaineering.

Those who have a passion of climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked upon with astonishment.Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship，and to take risks in high mountains? This astonishment is caused，probably，by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their leisure.

Mountaineering is a sport and not a game.There are no man­made rules，as there are for such games as golf and football.There are，of course，rules of different kinds which would be dangerous to ignore，but it is this freedom from man­made rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people.Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods.

If we compare mountaineering with other more familiar sports we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a “team game”．We should be mistaken in this.There are，it is true，no “matches” between “teams” of climbers，but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may depend，there is obviously teamwork.

The mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than man.He has to fight the forces of nature.His sport requires high mental and physical qualities.

A mountain climber continues to improve his skills year by year.A skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty.But it is not unusual for men of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the Alps.They may take more time than younger men，but they perhaps climb with more skills and less waste of effort，and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.

25．What sports are popular among people in winter in the passage?

A．Soccer and golf.

B．Skiing and skating.

C．Cycling and hockey.

D．Mountaineering.

26．What does the underlined word “passion” in Paragraph 2 mean?

A．Strong emotion. B．Good way.

C．Better skill. D．Good reason.

27．Why does the author think mountaineering is a sport，not a game?

A．Because it has man­made rules.

B．Because it is too dangerous for climbers.

C．Because it can't bring people joy or leisure.

D．Because it is free for climbers to use their own methods.

28．What can we learn from the passage?

A．Mountaineering is not attractive to people.

B．Physical quality is more important than mental one for climbers.

C．A mountain climber passes his best by the age of thirty.

D．It is possible for an old man of fifty or sixty to climb the Alps.

【答案】25．B 26．A 27．D 28．D

27．考查细节理解。根据第三段中的“There are no man­made rules，as there are for such games as golf and football.”没有人为的规则，就像高尔夫和足球这样的比赛；以及“Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods.”爬山的人可以自由地使用自己的方法。可知作者认为登山是一项运动，而不是一种游戏是因为登山没有人为制定的规则，登山者可以自由选择自己的方式，故选D。

Many people have fears while traveling abroad. But with so many good places to visit in this world, fears that hold you back are stopping you from wonderful experiences more than they are protecting you. Not being able to communicate can not only be worrying, but sometimes it can even be a bit scary. But don't let a fear of failing to speak the foreign language inhibit you.

First, try to learn a few words ahead of time, like please, thank you, hello, goodbye. This will go a long way in showing the locals you're trying. A phrasebook can help, but remember that you may not understand the reply you get.

Second, write down the hotel you chose, and any places of interest you're planning on visiting. It helps to show a taxi driver or someone you're asking directions from if you have it written down since it's possible that you won't pronounce it correctly.

Third, one of the few words I find to be common is “toilet”. In the US people often ask where to find the bathroom or restroom, but that's not so easily understood for someone whose native language (母语) isn't English. But even in the middle of Southeast Asia, people understand the word toilet.

Lastly, try drawing. Andy and I were in a taxi in Izmir, Turkey trying to get to the castle, but the driver didn't know what we were saying. So Andy quickly drew a castle. The driver laughed and nodded, and then brought us to the castle.

29．What's the purpose of the author telling us his own story in Izmir, Turkey?

A．To tell us drawing is helpful.

Vatican Museums: Vatican City

The Vatican draws more than five million people each year, and queues can reach four hours during peak season.

The next time you find an excuse to abandon your ambition, think of Chris Nikic. On November 7, 2020, 21­year­old Chris Nikic made history as the first person with Down Syndrome to attempt and complete an Iron man. Organized by the World Triathlon Corporation, it requires athletes to swim 2.4 miles, bike 112 miles, and run a full 26.2­mile marathon—in under 17 hours!

The event, which took place in Panama City, Florida, began early in the morning with a two­ lap swim in the Gulf of Mexico. Chris, who was tied to his coach for safety, completed the course well within 2 hour, 20­minute timelimit.

The 112­mile bike ride, which Chris rode alone, proved a little more challenging. Not accustomed to drinking water while riding, he was forced to make multiple stops. To make matters worse, the young athlete was attacked by an army of red ants whose nest he accidentally stepped on during a break. He also had a bleeding knee after crashing while speeding downhill. Despite these setbacks, Chris managed to complete the lap before the 5：30 pm cut­off time.

The competition's final challenge—a two ­lap 26.2­mile run along the waterfront—started smoothly. However, Chris was tired out by the tenth mile. But with encouragement from his coach and cheering bystanders, the youngster somehow managed to cross the finish line in 16 hours, 46 minutes, and 9 seconds—almost 15 minutes under the 17­hour time limit.

Chris is no stranger to overcoming challenges. Born with two holes in his heart, he underwent surgery at just five months old. He was too weak to walk independently until he was four. Due to his Down Syndrome, every expert his parents spoke to focused on the limitations rather than the possibilities.

To Chris, this race was more than just a finish line and celebration of victory. It's about being an example to other kids and families that face similar barriers.

35．What does the underlined part "an Ironman" in paragraph 1 refer to?

A．A competition. B．An organization.

C．A person. D．An artwork.

36．Which of the following best describes Chris's bike ride experience?

A．Romantic. B．Eventful. C．Pleasant. D．Smooth.

37．What does the author intend to do in paragraph 5?

A．Stimulate readers' interest.

B．Introduce a new topic.

C.Summarize the previous paragraphs.

D．Add some background information.

38．What can we learn from Chris's story?

A．Winning is everything.

B．No dream is unachievable.

C．Life is full of choices.

D．Misfortune is a barrier to success.

【答案】35．A 36．B 37．D 38．B

【解析】本文是一篇记叙文，21岁的Chris Nikic创造了历史，成为首位尝试完成铁人三项的唐氏综合征患者。作者介绍了他在此次比赛中的具体表现，他的一些个人经历以及这场比赛的意义不仅仅是终点线和胜利的庆祝。这是为了给其他面临类似障碍的孩子和家庭树立一个榜样。

【点评】本题考点涉及词义猜测和推理判断两个题型的考查，是一篇故事类阅读，考生需要根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析，推理，从而选出正确答案。

35．考查词义猜测。根据第一段中的“Organized by the World Triathlon Corporation, it requires athletes to swim 2.4 miles, bike 112 miles, and run a full 26.2­mile marathon—in under 17 hours!”它由世界铁人三项机构组织，要求运动员游泳2.4英里，骑自行车112英里，跑完26.2英里的马拉松——在17小时内完成！可知，Chris Nikic完成了由世界铁人三项机构组织的比赛，可推知，划线词指的是"一项比赛"。故选A。

36．考查推理判断。根据第三段中的“Not accustomed to drinking water while riding, he was forced to make multiple stops. To make matters worse, the young athlete was attacked by an army of red ants whose nest he accidentally stepped on during a break. He also had a bleeding knee after crashing while speeding downhill. ”可知， Chris Nikic由于不习惯在骑车时喝水，他被迫多次停下来。更糟糕的是，这位年轻的运动员在休息时不小心踩到了蚁巢，被一群红蚂蚁攻击。他在高速下坡时发生车祸，膝盖出血。可推知，Chris Nikic骑自行车的经历中事故频发。故选B。

37．考查推理判断。根据第五段中的“ Born with two holes in his heart, he underwent surgery at just five months old. He was too weak to walk independently until he was four. 可知，Chris Nikic出生时心脏上有两个洞，5个月大时就接受了手术。由于身体太虚弱，他直到四岁才能独立行走。这些都是Chris Nikic的背景信息，可推知，作者写第五段是为了添加一些Chris Nikic的背景信息。故选D。

38．考查推理判断。纵观全文可知，本文讲述了21岁的Chris Nikic 在此次比赛中的具体表现，成为首位尝试完成铁人三项的唐氏综合征患者，以及他的一些个人经历和这场比赛的意义——这是为了给其他面临类似障碍的孩子和家庭树立一个榜样。可知，我们能从Chris Nikic的故事中学到"没有什么梦想是不可能实现的"的道理。故选B。

Clothing rental is a hot new industry and retailers are demanding to get on board in hopes of attracting green shoppers.

But is renting fashion actually more environmentally­friendly than buying it, and if so, how much more? Journalist and author Elizabeth Cline investigated this question and concluded that it's not as sustainable as it seems.

Take shipping, for example, which has to go two ways if an item is rented—receiving and returning. Cline writes that consumer transportation has the second largest carbon footprint of our collective fashion habit after manufacturing.

She writes, "An item ordered online and then returned can send out 20 kilograms of carbon each way, and increases up to 50 kilograms for rush shipping. By comparison, the carbon impact of a pair of jeans purchased from a physical store and washed and worn at home is 33.4 kilograms, according to a 2015 study by Levi's."

Then there's the burden of washing, which has to happen for every item when it's returned, regardless of whether or not it was worn. For most rental services, this usually means dry cleaning, a high impact and polluting process. All the rental services that Cline looked into have replaced perchloroethylene, an air pollutant that causes cancers, still used by 70 percent of US dry cleaners, with alternatives, although these aren't great, either.

Lastly, Cline fears that rental services will increase our appetite for fast fashion, simply because it's so easily accessible. There's something called "share washing" that makes people waste more precisely because a product or service is shared and thus is regarded as more eco­friendly. Uber is one example of this, advertised as "a way to share rides and limit car ownership." and yet "it has been proven to discourage walking, bicycling, and public transportation use."

Renting clothes is still preferable to buying them cheap and throwing them in the dustbin after a few wears, but we shouldn't let the availability of these services make us too satisfied. There's an even better step—that's wearing what is already in the closet.

39．What is Elizabeth Cline's attitude toward clothing rental?

A．Approving. B．Unfavorable. C．Objective. D．Enthusiastic.

40．The Uber example in paragraph 6 indicates that ________.

A．rental services are on the rise

B．clothing rental will be as successful as Uber

C．renting clothes might waste more than expected

D．renting clothes might make people lose interest in fast fashion

41．The author suggests that we should ________.

A．give up renting any clothing

B．purchase inexpensive clothes

C．rent clothes rather than buy them

D．make full use of clothes we've possessed

42．What is the passage mainly about?

A．Clothing rental is a new fashion.

B．Clothing rental is retailers' preference.

C．Renting clothes is not that eco­friendly.

D．Renting­clothes business is in a dilemma.

【解析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了一种新兴的流行产业——服装租赁业，说明了该行业存在的一些缺点，指出租衣服并不环保，建议人们最好穿已经在衣柜里的衣服。

【点评】本题考点涉及推理判断，观点态度和主旨大意三个题型的考查，是一篇环保类阅读，考生需要根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析，推理，概括和归纳，从而选出正确答案。

39．考查观点态度。根据第二段中的"Elizabeth Cline investigated this question and concluded that it's not as sustainable as it seems"Elizabeth Cline通过调查得出的结论是租衣服并不像看上去那么环保；再根据第四段她引用具体的数字指出在服装租赁过程中碳的排放量比在实体店购买、洗涤过程中所排放的量要大，可知，她并不支持服装租赁这种做法。unfavorable "反对的"，故选B。

40．考查推理判断。根据第六段中的"There's something called ‘share washing' that makes people waste more ... and yet ‘it has been proven to discourage walking, bicycling, and public transportation use.'"可知，有一种叫作"共享洗涤"的东西，让人们浪费更多的东西，因为人们认为只要一种产品或服务是共享的那这种产品或服务就是环保的。优步就是一个例子，它被宣传为"共享乘车和限制车辆拥有量"的方式，然而优步已经被证明它不鼓励人们走路、骑车和乘坐公共交通工具，所以作者举优步为例是为了说明租赁服装和优步一样比人们料想的要更加浪费资源。故选C。

41．考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的"There's an even better step—that's wearing what is already in the closet."可知，作者认为一个更好的办法是穿已经在衣柜里的衣服，即利用已有的衣服，不要过多地购买和租赁衣服。故选D。

42．考查主旨大意。纵观全文可知，本文通过Elizabeth Cline进行的调查指出服装租赁业存在许多缺点，如运输时会增加碳的排放量，干洗会对环境造成污染。本文主要讲述了租衣服是不环保的。故选C。
