1、Women Staying in Mini-Skirts fｏｒLongerBritish women are happy nowadays to wear mini-skirts up until the age of40, according to research by Debenhams.Just 20 years ago, few women would dare to wear a mini-skirt. after the age of 33, the store said. "It shows that women now have an increasing confidence in their bodies ａｎｄ　are happy to dress accordingly," it added in a statement. "If this trend continues, there\'s no doubt that, within the next decade, women in their mid 40s ａｎｄ　early 50s will rightly regard a mini-skirt as an essential part of their everyday wardrobe. "The figures emerged when the store examined the latest age profile of women buying short,36-cm skirts over the past six months. Their results show that it has jumped from an average age of36-years-old at the start of millennium to 40 today. Figures from 1980 showed that on average women stopped buying minis when they reached 33 years old, a figure unchanged from the mid-1960s.The store noted that experts believe that the popularity of intensive gym culture, providing women with well toned bodies fｏｒlonger may be the reason, The increasing number of British women living on their own may also be a factor.The Debenhams\' study showed that a modern woman\'s love affair with a mini-skirt begins at the age of 14 but that she doesn\'t buy her first one until the age of 16. Instead, she flouts school rules by rolling up the waistbａｎｄ　of the school uniform to give the impression of wearing a mini skirt.Skirts get shorter between the ages of 16 ａｎｄ　19, reducing in size from 46 to 36 cm before reaching their shortest, a mere 32 cm, at the age of 23. Skirt length increases slightly between the ages of 23 ａｎｄ　27, rising to 37 cm, possibly due to girls being in their first stable relationship, with no desire to attract attention, the store said.However, it found short skirts suddenly zoom in popularity between the ages of27 ａｎｄ　34, as those early relationships break down, ａｎｄ　new relationships are formed. The move into longer skirts begins irreversibly at 40 years old, when 46-cm skirts, still slightly above the knee are the norm. From then on, skirt length increases dramatically, falling below the knee fｏｒthe very first time since school days at the age of42.The word "zoom" in the first sentence of the last paragraph can be best replaced by____.【单选题】

A.soar

B.decrease

C.hold steady

D.drop

正确答案:A

答案解析:zoom意为“迅速增长”，故A是最佳答案。

With his first wife ａｎｄ　two children he left Vermont by covered wagon in 1855 to homestead in Kansas. Perhaps he did not find farming to his liking, ｏｒperhaps he was lured by rumors of fortunes to be made in Colorado mines. At any rate, a few years later he moved west to the small Colorado mining camp known as California Gulch, which he later renamed Leadville when he became its leading citizen. "Great deposits of lead are sure to be found here. " he said.As it turned out, it was silver, not lead, that was to make Leadville\'s fortune ａｎｄ　wealth. Tabｏｒknew little about mining himself, so he opened a general store, which sold everything from boots to salt, flour, ａｎｄ　tobacco. It was his custom to "grubstake" prospective miners, in other words, to supply them with food ａｎｄ　supplies, ｏｒ"grub", while they looked fｏｒore, in return fｏｒwhich he would get a share in the mine if one was discovered. He did this fｏｒa number of years, but no one that he aided ever found anything of value.Finally one day in the year 1878, so the story goes, two miners came in ａｎｄ　asked fｏｒ"grub". Tabｏｒhad decided to quit supplying it because he had lost too much money that way. These were persistent, however, ａｎｄ　Tabｏｒwas too busy to argue with them. "Oh help yourself. One more time won\'t make any difference," He said ａｎｄ　went on selling shoes ａｎｄ　hats to other customers. The two miners took $17 worth of supplies, in gave Tabｏｒa one-third interest in their findings. They picked a barren place on the mountainside ａｎｄ　began to dig, After nine days they struck a rich vein of silver. Tabｏｒbought the shares of the other two men, ａｎｄ　so the mine belonged to him alone. This mine, known as the "Pittsburgh Mine," made l,300,000 fｏｒTabｏｒin return fｏｒhis $17 investment.Later Tabｏｒbought the Matchless Mine on another barren hillside just outside the town for$117,000. This turned out to be even more fabulous than the Pittsburgh, yielding $35,000 worth of silver per day at one time. Leadville grew.

4、G8 SummitLeaders of theｇｒｏｕｐof Eight MajｏｒIndustrialized Nations (G8) will meet in Scotlａｎｄ　in July this year. Representatives from China, India, Mexico, South Africa ａｎｄ　Brazil have also been invited. Here\'s what the G8 leaders want from the meeting.British Prime Minister Tony Blair wants the G8 to cancel debt to the world\'s poorest countries. He wants them to double aid to Africa to 50 billion pounds by 2010. He has also proposed reducing subsidies to Western farmers ａｎｄ　removing restrictions on African exports. This has not got the approval of all members because it will hurt their agricultural interests. On climate change, Blair wants concerted (共同的) action by reducing carbon emissions (排放). US President George W. Bush agrees to give help to Africa. But he says he doesn\'t like the idea of increasing aid to countries as it will increase corruption. Bush said he would not sign an agreement to cut greenhouse gas emissions at the summit, according to media. The US is the only G8 member not to have signed the Kyoto Protocol(《京都议定书》). Although the US is the world\'s biggest polluter, Bush so far refuses to believe there is sufficient scientific data to establish beyond a doubt that there is a problem.French President Jacques Chirac supports Blair on Africa ａｎｄ　climate change. He is determined to get the US to sign the climate change deal.German ChancellｏｒGerhard Schroder remains doubtful of Blair\'s Africa proposals. Schroder\'s officials have dismissed the notion that money will solve Africa\'s problems as"old thinking". Berlin says that African states should only receive extra money if they can prove they\'ve solved the corruption problem.Russian President Vladimir Putin was doubtful about the value of more aid to Africa. But he has seen a way to make this work to his advantage. Putin intends to use the aid to Africa as a springboard (跳板) next year to propose aid to the former Soviet Republics of Georgia, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan ａｎｄ　Moldova.Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi\'s priorities are a seat on the UN Security Council, fｏｒwhich he will be lobbying (游说) at the summit. ａｎｄ　he\'s concerned about the Democratic People\'s Republic of Korea\'s nuclear weapons programme.Blair hopes that the G8 countries will work together to reduce carbon emissions.【单选题】
