    第一篇
    Making a Loss is the Height of Fashion
    Given that a good year in the haute couture(高級(jí)定制女裝)business is one where you lose even more money than usual, the prevailing mood in Paris last week was sensational. The big-name designers were falling over themselves to boast of how many outfits they had sold at below cost price, and how this proved that the fashion business was healthier than ever. Jean—Paul Gaultier reported record sales. “But we don’t make any money out of it”, the designer assured journalists backstage. “No matter how successful you are, you can’t make a profit from couture,” explained Jean—Jacques Picart, a veteran fashion PR man, and co—founder of the now—bankrupt Lacroix house.
    Almost 20 years have passed since the unusual economics of the couture business were first exposed. Outraged that he was Losing money on evening dresses costing tens of thousands of pounds, the couturier Jean-Louis Scherrer published of his costs. One outfit he described curtained over half a mile of gold thread 1 8, 000sequins(亮片), and had required hundreds of hours of hand—stitching in an atelier(制作室). A fair price would have been~50, 000, but the couturier could only get~35, 000 for it. Rather than riding high on the foolishness of the super—rich, he and his team could barely feed their hungry families.
    The result was an outcry and the first of a series of government-and industry—sponsored inquiries into the surreal(超現(xiàn)實(shí)的)world of ultimate fashion. The trade continues to insist that couture offers you more than you pay for, but it’s not as simple as that. When such a temple of old wealth starts talking about value for money, it isn’t to convince anyone that dresses costing as much as houses are a bargain. Rather, it is to preserve the peculiar mystique(神秘), lucrative(利潤(rùn)豐厚的)associations and threatened interests that couture represents.
    Essentially, the arguments couldn’t be simpler. On one side are those who say that the business will die if it doesn’t change. On the other are those who say it will die if it is highly dated. Huge in its costs, tiny in its clientele and questionable in its influence, it still remains one of the great themes of Parisian life. In his book, The Fashion Conspiracy, Nicholas Coleridge estimates that the entire couture industry rests on the whims(一時(shí)興起)of less than 30 immensely wealthy women, and although the number may have grown in recent years with the new prosperity of
     Asia, the number of couture customers worldwide is no more than 4.000.
    To qualify as couture, a garment must be entirely handmade by one of the 11 Paris couture houses registered to the Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture. Each house must employ at least 20 people. and show a minimum of 75 new designs a year. So far, so traditional. But the Big Four operators——Chanel, Dior, Givenchy and Gaultier—increasingly use couture as a marketing device for their far more profitable ready—to—wear, fragrance and accessory lines.

    A. The haute couture business is expanding quickly.
    B. The haute couture designers make much profit in their sales.
    C. The haute couture businessmen are happy with their profit.

    第二篇
    On the Trial of the Honey Badger
    On a recent field trip to the Kalahari Desert, a team of researchers learn a lot more about honey badgers. The team employed a local wildlife expert Kitso Khama to help them locate and follow the badgers across the desert. Their main aim was to study the badgers’ movements and behavior as discreetly(謹(jǐn)慎地) as possible without frightening them away or causing them to change their natural behavior. They also planned to trap a few and study them close up before releasing them in view of the animal’s reputation, this was something that even Khama was reluctant to do.
    “The problem with honey badgers is they are naturally curious animals, especially when they see something new,” he says. “That, combined with their unpredictabl醫(yī)學(xué)全在線52667788.cne nature, can be a dangerous mixture. If they sense you have food, for example, they won’t be shy about coming right up to you for something to eat. They’re actually quite sociable creatures around humans, but as soon as they feel they might be in danger, they can become extremely vicious(兇惡的). Fortunately this is rare, but it does happen.”
    The research confirmed many things that were already known. As expected, honey badgers ate any creatures they could catch and kill. Even poisonous snakes, feared and avoided by most other animals, were not safe from them. The researchers were surprised, however, by the animal’s fondness for local melons, probably because of their high water content. Preciously researchers thought that the animal got all of its liquid requirements from its prey(獵物). The team also learnt that, contrary to previous research findings, the badgers occasionally formed loose family groups. They were also able to confirm certain results from previous research, including the fact that female badgers never socialized with each other.
    Following some of the male badgers was a challenge, since they can cover large distances in a short space of time. Some hunting territories cover more than 500 square kilometers. Although they seem happy to share these territories with other males, there are occasional fights over an important food source, and male badgers can be as aggressive towards each other as they are towards other species.
    As the badgers became accustomed to the presence of people, it gave the team the to get up close to them without being the subject of the animal’s curiosity—or sudden aggression. The badgers’ eating patterns, which had been disrupted, to normal. It also allowed the team to observe more closely some of the other creatures that form working associations with the honey badger, as these seemed to badge醫(yī)學(xué)全在線52667788.cnrs’ relaxed attitude when near humans.
    36. Why did the wild life experts visit the Kalahari Desert?
    A. To find where honey badgers live.
    B. To catch some honey badgers for food.
    C. To observe how honey badgers behave.
    D. To find out why honey badgers have a bad reputation.
    37. What does Kitso Khama say about honey badgers?
    A. They are always looking for food.
    B. They do not enjoy human company.
    C. They show interest in things they are not familiar with.
    D. It is common for them to attack people.
    38. What did the team find out about honey badgers?
    A. There were some creatures they did not eat.
    B. They were afraid of poisonous creatures.
    C. Female badgers did not mix with male badgers.
    D. They may get some of the water they needed from fruit.
    39. Which of the following is a typical feature of male badgers?
    A. They don’t run very quickly.
    B. They defend their territory from other badgers.
    C. They hunt over a very large area.
    D. They are more aggressive than females.
    40. What happened when honey badgers got used to humans around them?
    A. They became less aggressive towards other creatures.
    B. They lost interest in people.
    C. They started eating more.
    D. Other animals started working with them.
