阅读理解

(2011年太原质量检查)BELIEVE it or not，the color of the tie Barack Obama wore to the inauguration(就职典礼)is now a hotly debated topic.The level of public interest in Obama’s tie might seem strange but many people believe his choice will symbolize the type of government he plans to run，as the color of a politician’s tie is thought to convey ideas of power，trustworthiness and more.

Polities of ties

It may be the least practical item of male dress，but it is arguably the most expressive.In the UK and many other coun-tries around the world，conservative (保守的) politicians may wear a blue tie and their liberal opponents a red one.In America，the colors go the other way round.The Republicans have in recent years become associated with the color red，and the Democrats with blue.But in spite of this，Bush wears blue ties more often than any other color.

What they mean

According to Sharon Haver，editor of focusonstyle.com，in America the feelings associated with colors overrule their political significance.“A guy who wants to be regarded as strong and in charge would wear red，”Haver says.Unsurprisingly，the business tycoon Donald Trump is known for wearing red ties.But what about blue?According to Haver，“Blue is a softer color...Look at the sky.It’s peaceful and calm and trustworthy.”

Selecting the right tie for the right occasion

●Perfect job interview tie

Perhaps no other tie-wearing occasion is as important as the job interview.Gilchrist，the fashion expert，advises playing it safe and choosing a conservative one.Best choices are solids，stripes or small patterns.An excellent color is burgundy(深红色) or another serious color.Avoid pink or yellow，which suggests that the wearer lacks gravity.

Pattern ties，Gilchrist suggests，should be limited to a maximum of three colors.A striped tie is a safe choice as this is acceptable to everyone.Last，Gilchrist recommends saving the expensive“hip”tie for those applying for glamorous creative jobs.

●Date-night tie

When picking out the right tie for taking a girl out on a date，spend more time considering color than pattern.According to studies，women are attracted to men wearing the color blue，because blue gives the image of a“stable，faithful，constant，always there”person.So what is the worst color to wear on a date?“Flattened caterpillar(毛虫)yellow-green，”according to Gilchrist，“it will repel both sexes equally.”

【解题导语】　美国总统奥巴马在就职典礼上打的领带的颜色成为人们议论的焦点，因为其领带的颜色代表了他执政的风格。本文探讨政治家们喜好的领带的颜色与其政治风格的关系，以及人们在不同场合该选择什么样的领带。

A.Because they think the tie he wore will enable them to know about his personalities and policies.

B.Because they want to advise him how to select an appropriate tie for such a big occasion.

C.Because they think the tie will tell if he is trustworthy as they expected when he assumes office.

D.Because they believe the tie is an essential part of dressing to a mature politician like Obama.

解析：选A。考查细节理解。第一段说，这是因为人们认为，奥巴马对就职典礼上系的领带颜色的选择将表明他的政府是什么类型，将实行什么样的政策。

A.He was probably liberal in his policies when he was in power.

B.He was a Republican when he served as president.

D.He wanted to make himself unique by the tie that he wore.

解析：选B。考查推理判断。从第二段可知，美国共和党成员近年常打红色领带，民主党成员打蓝色领带，可是尽管如此，布什却经常打蓝色领带。由此判断，他是美国共和党的成员。

3.The example of“the business tycoon Donald Trump” is given to __________.

A.prove that color reflects people’s feelings to a certain degree

B.show that Donald is so wealthy that he can afford expensive ties

C.tell that Donald is physically strong and can handle everything

D.explain that red is a popular color，especially with businessmen

解析：选A。考查推理判断。第三段说，希望被人视为强者和决策者的人喜欢打红色领带，商业巨头Donald Trump喜欢打红色领带。作者提到这个例子是为了佐证前面提到的观点，即颜色表达的情感压倒了其政治意义，因此选A。

4.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?

A.Ties can be ignored by politicians since they are the least practical item of male dress.

B.Do choose ties carefully before dating，because it is the most important occasion.

D.The more colorful the tie is，the more likely you’ll get the job you want.

解析：选C。考查推理判断。全文介绍了领带的颜色与政治家们的主张与行为之间的联系，可见领带对政治家们的重要性，因此A项错误;最后部分谈到求职面试和男女约会时如何选领带，说找工作的面试是最重要的场合，因此B项错误，此时应该选用代表严肃的颜色，因此D项错误，从Perfect job interview tie中的叙述可知C项正确。

其实如果在之前学习英语知识的时候基础打好的话，那么后期的阅读理解难度也会逐渐的下降，有些同学觉得阅读理解难度大，也许是因为基础知识没有打好，所以在此复习期间一定要先复习一些基础知识，然后多阅读英语的一些文章，那么后期对阅读理解的学习也会有很大帮助。
