高中英语真题:Unit23 Conflict

Ⅰ.阅读理解

A

For anyone who is determined to be a fashion designer，

it is not enough to have succeeded in real test is

whether they can survive，

and become established during their early 20s，

making a name for themselves in the real world where busine

ss skills can be as important as talent and creativity.

Fashion is a hard is a continuous amount of s

tress because work is at a constant and extremely fast speed

to prepare for the next season’s is extremely co

mpetitive and there is the constant need to make attractive ad

vertisements of the latest fashion in newspapers and magazin

also requires continual freshness because the appetite fo

r new ideas is hard to satisfy.“We try to warn people before th

ey come to us about how tough it is.” says Lydia Kemeny，

Head of Fashion at ’s School of Art in .“And we point

out that drive and determination are absolutely necessary.”

This may seem far removed from the popular opinions of fashi

onable young people spending their time designing pretty dre

may well be what they do in their first year of study

but a good college won’t be slow in introducing students to co

mmercial realities，

“We don’t walk our foot on the blossoming flower of creativity

but in the second year we start introducing the restrictions of

price，producing ability，marketing and so on.”

Almost all fashion design is done to a is not a form of s

elfexpression as such，

although there is certainly room for imagination and creativity.

Most young designers are going to end up as employees of a

producer or a fashion house and they still need to be able to

work within the characteristic style of their tho

se students who are most modern in their own taste of clothes

may need to adapt to produce designs which are right for the

mainstream of the also have to be able to work a

t both the expensive and the cheap end of the market and the

challenge to produce good design inexpensively may well be

demanding.

king place in the help of new medicine，

the human body will last a very long will come mai

such as heart disease，cancer，and aging itself，

will become distant memories.

In discussion of technological changes，

the Internet gets most of the attention these the cha

nge in medicine can be the real technological event of our tim

long can humans live？

Human brains were known to decide to final are t

he basic units of all living things，and until recently，

scientists were sure that the life of cells could not go much be

yond 120 years because the basic materials of cells，

such as those of brain cells，

would not last the upper limits will be broken by ne

w me between 2050 and 2100，

medicine will have advanced to the point at which every 10 ye

ars or so，

people will be able to take medicine to repair their

medicine，made up of the basic building materials of life，

will build new brain cells，heart cells，and so on—

in much the same way our bodies make new skin cells to take

the place of old ones.

It is exciting to imagine that the advance in technology may b

e changing the most basic condition of human existence，

but many technical problems still must be cleared up on the w

Ⅱ.根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳

选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Staying up all night clearly taxes the body，

but scientists have only now added up the exact ch

ers from the University of Colorado at measured the actual c

alories the body loses for an allnighter.__9__It conserves abo

ut as much as in a glass of warm milk.

__10__It loses an extra 161 calories that it would have saved

during eight hours of sleep(not counting what's used in movin

g around while awake)，

but it's no weightloss body tries to make up for th

e deficit(不足

额)by saving more energy than usual the next day and night.

To measure how much energy people use during sleep in a m

ore accurate way than has been done before，

Kenneth Wright，

a physiologist at the University of Colorado，

and his colleagues studied seven of the healthy

young volunteers lived inside a sealed room for three

e volunteers were on bed rest during the entire time and ate t

he same amount of calories at the same time each re

searchers continually monitored the person's brain waves and

how much oxygen and carbon dioxide the person breathed in

and out.__11__

“Sure，there's energy saving，

but it's not worth 's a hot dog bun or a cup of milk's wo

rth，”Paul Shaw of Washington University，

who wasn't involved in the study above，

says of many scientists' attitude toward the amount of calories

the body saves during sleep.__12__

After staying up all night，

volunteers burned about 28 fewer calories during a recovery s

leep of eight hours than they had during a full night of regular

sleep.__13__In the 24hour period during which people caught

up on missing sleep，

they also burned about 228 fewer calories than during a comp

arable period in which they were l，

when people slept normally，

they burned 96 more calories than they did on days when the

y were making up for lost sleep.

A．The energy conservation didn't stop there.

B．The recovery sleep should be limited to eight hours.

C．He also said small differences could have large conseque

nces.
