Throughout the world, clothing has many uses. It is used to provide protection from the elements. It also is worn to prevent others from seeing specific parts of one’s body. However, the parts of the body that must be covered vary widely throughout the world. Some clothing is worn to provide supernatural protection. Wearing a lucky shirt to take an exam is calling for supernatural assistance.
People in all cultures use clothing and other forms of bodily decoration to communicate status, intentions and other messages. In North America, we dress differently for business and various leisure activities. North American women usually are much more knowledgeable of and concerned with little difference in messages communicated by clothes than men. At times, this leads to silly mistakes of interpretation of female intentions on the part of men. Of course, clothing styles also are intended to communicate messages to members of the same gender（性别）.
Long before we are near enough to talk to someone, their appearance tells their gender, age, economic class, and often even intentions. We begin to recognize the important cultural clues at an early age. The vocabulary of dress that we learn includes not only items of clothing but also hairstyles, jewelry, and other body decoration. In most cultures, however, the same style of dress communicates different messages depending on the age, gender, and physical appearance of the individual wearing it.
Putting on certain types of clothing can change your behavior and the behavior of others towards you. This can be the case with a doctor’s white lab coat, or an army uniform. Most uniforms are clearly symbolic so that they can rapidly and unmistakably communicate status. For instance, the strange hairstyle and clothing of the English “punks” are essential aspects of their uniforms.
There are many forms of body decoration other than clothes that are used around the world to send messages. These include body and hair paint, and even body deformation. When doctors put braces on teeth, they are actually doing the same thing – deforming or reforming a part of the body to make it more attractive.
68．Which of the following is the best title for this passage?
A．Clothing and Culture
B．Communication through Clothing
C．Clothing and Social Behavior
D．Ways of Sending Messages
69．In North America, men sometimes misunderstand women’s intention because __________.
A．men are more careless than women
B．women spend more time on their clothes
C．men and women have different views on clothing styles
D．men care less about the different messages communicated by clothes
70．From the passage, it can be inferred that ________.
A．messages communicated by clothes are the same in different cultures
B．words of dress are not enough to communicate different messages
C．dress is better than language in communicating messages
D．clothing plays an important role in social activities
第四部分：任务型阅读（1×10）
请阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中填入最恰当的单词。
Nowadays, more and more people are using email, but sometimes we use it too much or use it inappropriately. To get the most out of email we need to use it carefully and sensibly. These are some simple tips to help you make a better use of email.
It is good to have separate email accounts for separate purposes. For example, you may have one for business and one for social activities. This means you can check the personal email in the evening without having to think about business. If you see an important message from your boss it could ruin your weekend or evening. After all most people want to relax themselves and get away from work at the end of the day. Don't allow email to make you a slave to work. Some people feel it is inconvenient to check 2 different email accounts. But the relative inconvenience is easily outweighed by the benefits.
Many people ignore the title of an email. If the subject changes don’t keep using an old “re: irrelevant title.” A good title increases the chance that people will actually read your email rather than just leaving it for later. A bad title may even get deleted as spam.(垃圾邮件)
Emails can be brief and to the point. If the message has to be long, make sure it is broken up into different sections, which are easy to read. But, generally you should aim to keep it less than 5 sentences. This is good for both the writer and the reader.
If somebody sends some important documents, files or message, make sure you, at least, acknowledge their receipt. Otherwise they may be uncertain that you’ve got them. It doesn't have to be long; it can be quite short.
If you find yourself sending similar answers to many people, write a draft message and save it in your drafts folder (or write it in Word). You can use this standard response for emailing many people. Don’t forget to personalize it by adding their names.
Having a signature looks professional and saves typing the same information. Remember people may wish to contact you through other ways. So make sure you have a phone number and address in your email. If relevant, add any qualifications and websites that you have. This gives people a chance to find out more about you.
