1．观点态度题。根据第l段的incredibly，impossible，unreasonably，impracticably等词，可以看出作者对时装杂志上的模特儿及他们的发式和服饰持不认可的态度。

2．细节判断题。第l段最后两个问句表明了作者认为衣服应该是comfortablydurable，而不应该一味追求new或者flesh，A正确。

3．推理判断题。本题考查复合句的理解。第2段首句提到“时尚一年一年地变化，因此很多人可以赚大把的钱”，后面再具体说明商人是如何通过时尚赚钱的。第2句表明，时尚业能使人们觉得需要某种东西，也就是选项B所说的。选项A在文中并无提及，选项C和D的陈述与本段的倒数第2句不符。

4．推理判断题。第5段第2句中的logical表明作者认为科学家和历史学家的研究结果是可信的，有道理的，因此C为正确选项。虽然下面所举的两个例子看起来很有趣，但是作者重点不是为了说明这些研究结果的有趣程度，而是为了说明时尚的起因都是符合逻辑的。

5．细节判断题。选项A和C分别在倒数第2段第3．4句提到，选项D在最后一段提到。只有选项B在文中没有提及。
6) Given the lack of fit between gifted students and their schools, it is notsurprising that such students often have little good to say about their schoolexperiences. In one study of 400 adults who had achieved distinction in allareas of life, researchers found that three fifths of these individuals eitherdid badly in school or were unhappy in school. Few MacArthunr Prize fellows,winners of the MacArthur Award for creative accomplishment, had good things tosay about their precollegiate schooling if they had not been placed in advancedprograms. Anecdotal(名人轶事的) reports support this. PabloPicasso, Charles Darwin, MARK twain, Oliver Goldsmith, and William Butler Yestsall disliked school .so did Winston Churchill, who almost failed out of Harrow, an boy.” Often these children realize that theyknow more than their teachers, and their teachers oft feel that these childrenare arrogant, inattentive, or unmotivated.

Some of these gifted people may have done poorly in school because their giftswere not scholastic. Maybe we can account for Picasso in this way/But mostfared poorly in school not because they lacked ability but because they foundschool unchanging and consequently lost interest. Yeats described the lack offit between his mind and school∶″BecauseI had found it difficult to attend to anything less interesting than my ownthoughts, I was difficult to teach.”As noted earlier, gifted children of allkinds tend to be strong-willed nonconformists. Nonconformity and stubbornness(and Yeats’s level of arrogance and self-absorption) are likely to lead toconflicts with teachers.

When highly gifted students in any domain talk about what was important to thedevelopment of their abilities, they are far more likely to mention theirfamilies than their schools or teachers. A writing prodigy(神童)studied by David Feldman and Lynn Goldsmith was taught far more about writingby his journalist father than his English teacher. High-IQ children in Australiastudied by Miraca Gross had much more positive feelings about their familiesthan their schools. About half of the mathematicians studied by Benjamin Bloomhad little good to say about school. They all did well in school and tookhonors classes when available, and some skipped grades.

26、Themain point the author is making about schools is that________.
