28、, and the convenience of mail order catalogs brought fashionable clothing into the American home. By the early twentieth century, home economists working in extension and outreach programs taught women how to use paper patterns to improve the fit and efficiency of new garments as well as how to upda
29、te existing ones. Teachers of home economics traditionally made home sewing a critical part of their curriculum, emphasizing self-sufficiency and resourcefulness for young women. However, with the increasing availability of mass-produced clothing in catalogs and department stores, more and more wome
30、n preferred buying garments to making them. As a result, home economists shifted their attention to consumer education. Through field study, analysis, and research, they became experts on the purchase and preservation of ready-to-wear clothing for the family, offering budgeting instruction targeted
31、at adolescent girls. Modern home sewing made it possible for American women to transcend their economic differences and geographic locations with clothing that was increasingly standardized. The democratization of fashion continued through the twentieth century as the ready-to-wear market expanded a
32、nd home sewing became more of a pastime than a necessity. 1.

33、tsC.their focus shifted to instruction on budgeting and buying and preserving clothingD.the emphasis on field study and research increased for students in home economics courses答案:C第一、二段。题干：altered the role of home economists改变了家政学家的角色。第一段说家政学家教妇女如何使用和修正衣服的纸样，第二段说家政学家教妇女如何预算、购买和保存衣服。选项C是正确的。扩大的成衣生产虽
34、然改变了家政的课程，但并未使家政学家的工作毫无意义，故选项A不是正确的答案。文中并未说妇女完全停止了家庭缝纫，选项B不是正确答案。根据文章，先有成衣的扩大生产，家庭缝纫的减少，才有家政学家的角色改变。选项D的因果关系颠倒了，不是正确的答案。2.

And some of our modern solutions are not so new, either. The problem of energy shortages and the solution of using solar energy
39、 go back at least to early Greek cultures. The climate in the coastal areas of Greece 2,500 years ago was characterized by cool winters, much as it is today. At that time, the Greeks heated their homes with small, charcoal-burning heaters. In other words, wood (which is used to make charcoal) was th
40、eir primary source of energy. However, by the fifth century BC fuel shortages had become common because, in many parts of Greece, the firewood in the forests had been depleted. Once the supply of firewood from the local forests ran out, people began to use the wood from olive groves as fuel. But thi
41、s solution had its own problem. It reduced the olive crop, a valuable resource to the Greeks. By the fourth century BC, the city of Athens banned the use of olive wood for fuel. Wood had to be imported from farther and farther away, making it more difficult to obtain and more expensive to use. About
42、 this time the Greeks began to build their houses facing south, so that the low sun in winter could penetrate and help heat the interiors. Excavations of ancient Greek cities suggest that large areas were planned so that individual homes could take maximum advantage of passive solar energy. 1. The w

According to the passage, _.A.using wood from the olive groves in ancient Greece was a sensible solution to the fuel problemB.using passive solar energy was more expensiv
44、e than using wood in ancient GreeceC.the ancient Greeks planted new forests to replace the ones they cut down for firewoodD.the concept of using passive solar energy has been around since at least the fourth century BC答案:D文章后半部分。“到公元前4世纪”可说明时间，“房子面朝南以让阳光射入”提示选项D是正确的。3. The author implies that before
45、 the fifth century BC, _.A.the climate was much milder in the coastal areas of GreeceB.the Greeks were very careful to replant their forests after they cut themC.the Greeks were not concerned about conserving their energy sourcesD.olives were not an important resource to the Greeks答案:C2500年前就是公元前5世纪
46、，希腊人是不注意保护木材的，当时的希腊人所使用的燃料是以木材为主。选项C是正确的。4. Which sentence best expresses the central point of the passage?A.Sentence 1.B.Sentence 2.C.Sentence 3.D.Sentence 4.答案:C全篇都在陈述、说明第三句所表明的观点：古希腊就有能源短缺问题，古希腊就在使用太阳能来解决该问题。选项C是正确的。Passage Four A few minutes ago, walking back from lunch, I started to cross the street when I heard the sound of a coin dropping.
