请阅读Passage 1,完成第21~25小题。Passage 1In the 2006 film version of The Devil Wears Prada , Miranda Priestly, played by Meryl Streep, scolds her unattractive assistant for imagining that high fashion doesn't affect her, Priestly explains how the deep blue color of the assistant's sweater descended over the years from fashion shows to departments stores and to the bargain bin in which the poor girl doubtless found her garment.This top-down conception of the fashion business couldn't be more out of date or at odds with the feverish world described in Overdressed, Elizabeth Cline's three-year indictment of fast fashion. In the last decade or so, advances in technology have allowed mass-market labels such as Zara, H&M, and Uniqlo to react to trends more quickly and anticipate demand more precisely. Quicker turnarounds mean less wasted inventory, more frequent release, and more profit. Theselabels encourage style-conscious consumers to see clothes as disposable-meant to last only a wash or two, although they don't advertise that-and to renew their wardrobe every few weeks. By offering on-trend items at dirt-cheap prices, Cline argues, these brands have hijacked fashion cycles, shaking an industry long accustomed to a seasonal pace.The victims of this revolution, of course, are not limited to designers. For H&M to offer a $5.95 knit miniskirt in all its 2,300-pius stores around the world, it must rely on low-wage overseas labor, order in volumes that strain natural resources, and use massive amounts of harmful chemicals.Overdressed is the fashion world's answer to consumer-activist bestsellers like Michael Pollan's The Omnivore's Dilemma. Mass-produced clothing, like fast food, fills a hunger and need, yet is nondurable and wasteful, Cline argues. Americans, she finds, buy roughly 20 billion garments a year-about 64 items per person-and no matter how much they give away, this excess leads to waste. Towards the end of Overdressed, Cline introduced her ideal, a Brooklyn woman named Sarah Kate Beaumont, who since 2008 has made all of her own clothes-and beautifully. But as Cline is the first to note, it took Beaumont decades to perfect her craft; her example can't be knocked off.Though several fast-fashion companies have made efforts to curb their impact on labor and the environment-includmg H&M, with its green Conscious Collection line-Cline believes lasting change can only be effected by the customer. She exhibits the idealism common to many advocates of sustainability, be it in food or in energy. Vanity is a constant; people will only start shopping more sustainably when they can't afford not to.Priestly criticizes her assistant for her ____.
A

poor bargaining skill

B

insensitivity to fashion

C

obsession with high fashion

D

lack ofimagination

正确答案:C

答案分析:

这题主要考常识,你没有做对只要是基础知识没有学好,第一个问题正确应该选择B,通过设置一个信号量,采用PV操作解决同步和互斥的问题,第二个问题正确答案应该选择C,系统中有5个进程,每个进程需要4个资源R,要使系统不发生死锁,则至少有一个进程获得足够的资源R,即4个资源R,考虑到一个极端的情况,这5个进程中每个进程只获得了3个资源R,则因为所有的进程都没有获得足够的进程,所以系统发生死锁,要解决这个情况,只需要多一个资源R,则必定有一个进程获得足够资源R,避免了死锁,故需要3*5+1=16个资源R。这样子讲应该明白了吧?

第 21 题 如何理解这首诗中以动写静、动静相衬的表现手法?


正确答案:
这首诗最一个突出的特点就是用以动写静、动静相衬的手法,写出了山村宁静优美的景色。傍晚,秋雨过后,明月初照,清新而静谧。但诗人并没有一味写出山村如何宁静,而是写静中之动,写清泉在石上流淌,写洗衣女子在竹林中说笑,写渔船归来搅动莲花,给这幽静的画面增添了一些生趣,多了一种宜人的情调。动静互相映衬,收到了良好的艺术效果。

第 21 题 分析这首诗融写景、抒情、说理为一体的特色。


正确答案:
这首诗虽然只有十句,但其中却有说理,有写景,有抒情,恰切地表现了诗人非常细微的内心感受。诗的开头四句和末尾二旬说理,中间四句写景。但说理中也有景物描写,如“心远地自偏”,虽是说理却给人以很强的形象感。说理中也有抒情,如“此中有真意,欲辨已忘言”,就洋溢着诗人喜悦的心情。同时,中间的四句虽然写的是天气和飞鸟,也包含着诗人对田园生活的喜爱之情。而飞鸟晚归的形象描写,也寓示着诗人找到了生活上的皈依。
