Check out the full guide to the best UK holiday parks below and it will give you a helping hand. Yorkshire: Thornwick Bay Holiday Park Activities include Segway rides, football and an all-weather Activity Barn that’s sure to be a hit (受欢迎的事物) with the kids, and the heated indoor pool with water slides never fails to be a hit either. How much? Each night break starts from ￡179.55 for the whole family, based on a trip in July. Dorset: Warmwell Holiday Park Want a trip to the slopes (斜坡)? This award-winning resort near Weymouth has its own dry ski slope, and you’ll find skiing lessons, snowboarding as well as an indoor pool with a flume (水滑道) and a wave machine. How much? Two-night break starts from ￡329 based on a trip in July. Porthcawl: Trecco Bay Holiday Park Kids will love the outdoor wet play area at Parkdean Resorts’ Trecco Bay Holiday Park. On-site attractions include an indoor pool with the pirate ship, adventure golf and a kids’ play area. In the evening there are discos and bingo. How much? Three to four night breaks start from ￡305 based on a trip in July. Hampshire: Sandy Balls Holiday Park On the edge of the New Forest, this family-owned park allows you to get close to nature, with cycle trails, horse-riding, and then welcomes you back into the warmth with a pizza restaurant, indoor play facilities, including a pool plus a spa. How much? Camping tents usually start from ￡40 each night in August. 1. Which park might attract the family who enjoy music? A. Porthcawl: Trecco Bay Holiday Park. B. Hampshire: Sandy Balls Holiday Park. C. Yorkshire: Thornwick Bay Holiday Park. D. Dorset: Warmwell Holiday Park. 2. How much will your family spend at least travelling for a week in July? A. ￡379.55. B. ￡610. C. ￡329. D. ￡280. 3. What activity might the four holiday parks have in common? A. Skiing. B. Playing football. C. Horse-riding. D. Swimming. 【答案】1. A 2. B 3. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章讲述了英国最好的、适合一家人去度假的假日公园及其旅游指南。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三部分Porthcawl: Trecco Bay Holiday Park中的“In the evening there are discos and bingo.(晚上会有迪斯科舞会和宾戈游戏)”可知，Porthcawl: Trecco Bay Holiday Park也许能吸引喜欢音乐的家庭。故选A。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。题干意为：你家7月旅行一周至少要花多少钱？此题可以采用定位法来选择答案。首先定位题干中两个关键词，一是7月，可排除 Hampshire: Sandy Balls Holiday Park，因为它是8月的价格。二是时间一周，根据一周七天可知，￡179.55乘以7等于￡1,256.85；￡329乘以3.5等于￡1,151.5；￡305乘以2等于￡610。由此可知，7月旅行一周至少要花610英镑。故选B。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一部分Yorkshire: Thornwick Bay Holiday Park中“the heated indoor pool with water slides never fails to be a hit either.(加热室内游泳池和水滑梯也总是很受欢迎)”；以及第二部分Dorset: Warmwell Holiday Park中“an indoor pool with a flume(带水滑道的室内游泳池)”；以及第三部分Porthcawl: Trecco Bay Holiday Park中“an indoor pool with the pirate ship(有海盗船的室内游泳池)”以及第四部分Hampshire: Sandy Balls Holiday Park中“including a pool plus a spa(包括游泳池和水疗中心)”可知，尽管这四个公园各有特色项目，但是它们都有室内游泳池。由此推知，游泳是这四个公园共同的活动。故选D。 B An emoji may be a fun form of communication but it is destroying the English language, a study has shown. Smiling faces, love hearts, a thumbs up and so on — rather than words — are the preferred way of communication by teenagers, who are considered the worst offenders in grammar and punctuation. More than a third of British adults believe the emoji is the reason for the fall in proper language usage. Of the two thousand adults, aged 18 to 65 who were asked for their opinions, 94 percent thought English was in a state of decline, with 80 percent thinking youngsters as the worst offenders. The most common mistakes made by British people are spelling mistakes (21 percent), followed closely by apostrophe(撇号) placement (16 percent） and the misuse of commas (16 percent). More than half of British adults are not confident of their command of spelling and grammar. Furthermore, around three quarters of adults rely on the emoji to communicate. The use of emoji has affected the English culture so much that the “Oxford Dictionaries Word of the Year” in 2015 wasn’t actually a word at all — it was the “face with tears of joy” emoji. That shows just what a great effect the emoji has. Meanwhile, research earlier showed that using an emoji in emails when delivering bad news can soften the blow. It could help workplace communication, even though it could be seen as unprofessional. The study found that the emoji clearly increased the level of understanding in a message. Emoticons like the “smiling face” or “face with tears of joy” imitated (模仿) expressions and gestures and added a new layer of meaning. Interestingly, this only worked for a positive emoji. The “sad face” had little or no effect on how people responded to the meaning. 4. Which of the following can best express the writer’s feeling about the effect of emoji? A. Positive. B. Annoyed. C. Concerned. D. Surprised. 5. What can we know from Paragraph 4? A. Few British people misuse an emoji. B. Most adults are unsure about grammar. C. Less than half of adults depend on the emoji. D. Most British people make spelling mistakes. 6. What does the underlined word “That” in Paragraph 5 refer to? A. The use of an emoji. B. The effect of an emoji. C. The “face with tears of joy” emoji. D. The emoji being 2015 “Word of the Year”. 7. What might be the reason for a boss to put a positive emoji into emails? A. An emoji makes emails look unprofessional. B. The emoji plays a role in avoiding embarrassment. C. The emoji imitates people’s expressions and gestures. D. An emoji helps receivers understand his messages better. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. D 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了表情符号对英语语言和文化的影响。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“An emoji may be a fun form of communication but it is destroying the English language, a study has shown.(一项研究表明，表情符号可能是一种有趣的交流方式，但它正在破坏英语语言)”以及后文对表情符号对英语语言和文化影响的描述，如导致语法和标点使用下降、被选为年度词汇等，可以推断出作者对表情符号的影响是感到担忧的。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“More than half of British adults are not confident of their command of spelling and grammar.(超过一半的英国成年人对自己的拼写和语法能力不自信)”可知，大多数成年人对语法不确定。故选B。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第五段中“The use of emoji has affected the English culture so much that the “Oxford Dictionaries Word of the Year” in 2015 wasn’t actually a word at all — it was the “face with tears of joy” emoji. That shows just what a great effect the emoji has.(表情符号的使用对英语文化产生了巨大的影响，以至于2015年《牛津词典》的“年度词汇”实际上根本不是一个词，而是“喜极而泣”的表情符号。这表明了表情符号的巨大影响)”可知，that指代的是上文提到的“喜极而泣”的表情符号成为2015年《牛津词典》的“年度词汇”这一事件，这件事表明了表情符号的巨大影响。故选D。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“The study found that the emoji clearly increased the level of understanding in a message.(研究发现，表情符号明显提高了信息中的理解程度)”以及“Interestingly, this only worked for a positive emoji.(有趣的是，这只对积极的表情符号有效)”可知，老板在电子邮件中加入积极的表情符号可能是为了帮助接收者更好地理解他的信息。故选D。 C My granddad often helped me make a tool to catch fish when I was young and we would spend hours along a river. It was lovely for both of us then. Many more of today’s grandparents have a growing sense of adventure. And a trend is catching on: skip-gen travel — grandparents taking fun-filled vacations with grand kids without their parents along. A survey found that 83% of grandparents put travel with their grand kids as the number one thing when they retire. Skip-gen travel gets popular for good reason. Kids have their lives enriched and learn outside classrooms. This is also a time of talking and sharing ideas. “How grandparents talk to children is different from how parents talk to them. Actually, I feel on a more equal footing with my grandchildren than I do with my own children,” Annie Collins, a travel architect and also part of the trend, says. “Kids away from their parents are more open to ideas and willing to express themselves. It’s not just kids gaining from traveling. Who gets the most out of this? You might think it’s them but it’s us.” According to a study by the Cleveland Clinic, grandparents who help watch and spend time with grand kids may actually live longer than their peers（同龄人）. It’s also important to recognize that grandparents often have more time to travel. Unlike their children, who may still be in the pursuit of a personal career that offers limited time off, grandparents are often retired and likely have a different viewpoint on life, prioritizing experiences and family. So knowing the kids are in great hands, moms and dads will have a bit of time to themselves — some much-needed leisure time alone to rest and recharge their batteries. However, skip-gen travel is not for every grandparent. After all, grandparents are worn out with years and not so energetic. They surely treasure the chance to form close ties with their grandchildren, but it’s wiser to say no when only the youth could enjoy themselves, for the travel should be a win for everyone involved. 8. Why does the author mention fishing experiences with his granddad? A. To lead in the trend of skip-gen travel. B. To share the pleasure in going fishing. C. To stress the importance of family ties. D. To show the growing interest in adventure. 9. Which of the following may Annie Collins agree? A. Many parents are too strict with children. B. Grandparents benefit more from skip-gen travel. C. Spending time with grandparents is better for kids. D. Children become mature when away from parents. 10. What do we know about the parents whose kids are on skip-gen travel? A. They enjoy the moment to relax. B. They feel less anxious and stressed. C. They miss their kids very much. D. They look forward to their own trip. 11. What does the author suggest grandparents do? A. Get kids involved in travel planning. B. Strengthen the bond with grandchildren. C. Reduce skip-gen travel appropriately. D. Make decisions in both sides’ interests. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。随着越来越多祖父母冒险意识的增强，跨代旅游开始流行起来。研究发现，跨代旅游对祖父母、父母以及孩子均大有裨益。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段的“My granddad often helped me make a tool to catch fish when I was young and we would spend hours along a river. It was lovely for both of us then. Many more of today's grandparents have a growing sense of adventure. And a trend is catching on: skip-gen travel（我小的时候，爷爷经常帮我做一个捕鱼的工具，我们会在河边呆上几个小时。那时候对我们俩来说都很美好。如今，越来越多的祖父母有了一种越来越强烈的冒险意识。一种趋势正在兴起：跨代旅行）”可知，作者提到自己小时候与爷爷一起抓鱼的经历是为了引出如今祖父母辈与孙辈之间新的相处模式，即跨代旅游。故选A。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段的“Actually, I feel on a more equal footing with my grandchildren than I do with my own children（事实上，我觉得我和我的孙辈比我和我自己的孩子更平等）”以及“It’s not just kids gaining from traveling.Who gets the most out of this? You might think it's them but it's us（这不仅仅是孩子们从旅行中获得的。谁能从中获益最多？你可能认为是他们，但其实是我们）”可以推断出，身为祖母和跨代旅游的实践者，Annie Collins认为祖父母辈从跨代旅游中受益更多。故选B。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段的“So knowing the kids are in great hands, moms and dads will have a bit of time to themselves- some much-needed leisure time alone to rest and recharge their batteries（所以知道孩子们被照顾得很好，父母们就会有一些属于他们自己的时间——一些他们急需的闲暇时间来休息和充电）”可知，当孩子与祖父母外出旅游时，父母也能拥有自己的休闲时间，用来放松和休整。故选A。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“They surely treasure the chance to form close ties with their grandchildren, but it's wiser to say no when only the youth could enjoy themselves, for the travel should be a win for everyone involved（他们肯定会珍惜这个与孙辈建立亲密关系的机会，但当只有年轻人可以享受时，明智的做法是说不，因为这趟旅行对参与其中的每个人都应该是一个胜利）”可知，作者认为跨代旅游应该是一件双赢的事，只有对祖父母和孩子都有利时才应进行，由此可知，作者建议祖父母做有利于双方利益的决定。故选D。 D They wear the latest fashions with the most up-to-date accessories(配饰)．Yet these are not girls in their teens or twenties but women in their sixties and seventies．A generation which would once only wear old-fashioned clothes is now favouring the same high street looks worn by those half their age． Professor Julia Twigg, a social policy expert, said, “Women over 75 are now shopping for clothes more frequently than they did when they were young in the 1960s．In the 1960s buying a coat for a woman was a serious matter．It was an expensive item that they would purchase only every three or four years — now you can pick one up at the supermarket whenever you wish to．Fashion is a lot cheaper and people get tired of things more quickly．” Professor Twigg analysed family expenditure(支出) data and found that while the percentage of spending on clothes and shoes by women had stayed around the same — at 5 or 6 percent of spending — the amount of clothes bought had risen sharply． The professor said, “Clothes are now 70 percent cheaper than they were in the 1960s because of the huge expansion of production in the Far East．In the 1960s Leeds was the heart of the British fashion industry and that was where most of the clothes came from, but now almost all of our clothes are sourced elsewhere．Everyone is buying more clothes but in general we are not spending more money on them．” Fashion designer Angela Barnard, who runs her own fashion business in London, said older women were much more affected celebrity(名流) style than in previous years． She said, “When people see stars such as Judi Dench and Helen Mirren looking attractive and fashionable in their sixties, they want to follow them．Older women are much more aware of celebrities．There’s also the boom in TV programmes showing people how they can change their look, and many of my older customers do yoga to stay in shape well in their fifties．When I started my business a few years ago, my older customers tended to be very rich, but now they are what I would call ordinary women．My own mother is 61 and she wears the latest fashions in a way she would never have done ten years ago．” 12. Professor Twigg found that, compared with the 1960s, _________． A. the price of clothes has generally fallen by 70% B. the spending on clothes has increased by 5% or 6% C. people spend 30% less than they did on clothes D. the amount of clothes bought has risen by 5% or 6% 13. What can we learn about old women in terms of fashion? A. They are often ignored by fashion designers． B. They are now more easily influenced by stars． C. They are regarded as pioneers in the latest fashion． D. They are more interested in clothes because of their old age． 14. It can be concluded that old women tend to wear the latest fashions today mainly because _________． A. they get tired of things more quickly B. TV shows teach them how to change their look C. they are in much better shape now D. clothes are much cheaper than before 15. Which is the best possible title of the passage? A. Age Is No Barrier for Fashion Fans B. The More Fashionable, the Less Expensive C. Unexpected Changes in Fashion D. Boom of the British Fashion Industry 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。全文讲述女性生活的一个新变化：随着社会的发展，在追逐时尚的主力军中，活跃着六七十岁的女性。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段第一句The professor said, “Clothes are now 70 percent cheaper than they were in the 1960s because of the huge expansion of production in the Far East.（这位教授说：“由于远东地区生产的大规模扩张，现在的衣服比上世纪60年代便宜了70%。）可知，现在的服装比60年代便宜了百分之70。故A正确。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第五段Fashion designer Angela Barnard, who runs her own fashion business in London, said older women were much more affected by celebrity(名流) style than in previous years .可知，在时尚方面，年老的女性更容易受到明星名流的影响。故B正确。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段第一句Clothes are now 70 percent cheaper than they were in the 1960s because of the huge expansion of production in the Far East（由于远东地区生产的大规模扩张，现在的衣服比20世纪60年代便宜了70%）和最后一句Everyone is buying more clothes but in general we are not spending more money on them.（每个人都在买更多的衣服，但总的来说，我们并没有在衣服上花更多的钱。）可知，现在的老年女性穿时尚的服装是因为现在的衣服很便宜，他们完全有能力买得起。故D正确。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章中心句第一句They wear the latest fashions with the most up-to-date accessories(配饰). Yet these are not girls in their teens or twenties but women in their sixties and seventies.可知，现在的老年人在时尚方面一点都不输给年轻人，年龄已经不再是时尚的障碍了。故A项符合文章中心思想。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Making eye contact isn’t always easy.

And eye contact can help with that, according lo research from the University of Paris. Researchers found that we’re more focused on our own bodies and behavior when other people look at us. Eye contact creates attraction. Eye contact attraction is a real thing. Research showed that humans find other people more attractive when they make eye contact. Smiling can also help create attraction. ____20____ Workmates and leaders will be more inclined (想) to build relationships with you when you look them in the eye. On the other hand, no eye contact can show a lack of confidence. A. So how to make eye contact naturally? B. Eye contact can help with self-awareness. C.

F 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了眼神交流在日常交际和工作中的重要性。 【16题详解】 根据前文“Making eye contact isn’t always easy. It can feel uncomfortable at times, especially when you haven’t yet built a relationship with the other person.”（眼神交流并不总是那么容易。有时会感到不舒服，尤其是当你还没有和另一个人建立关系的时候。）讲述了眼神交流在生活中是不容易的。下文“Eye contact helps others remember what you said.”（眼神交流可以帮助别人记住你说的话。）讲述了眼神交流的作用。所以空处应和前文表示转折关系，同时提示下文。选项C“但是为什么眼神交流最重要呢？”符合题意，故选C。 【17题详解】 根据前文“When you share eye contact during a conversation, you’ll remember more of what the other person said. The reverse (相反的情况) is true as well.”（当你们在交谈中进行眼神交流时，你会记得更多对方所说的话。反之亦然。）可知，你与别人眼神交流的同时，可以使双方都能更多的记住对方说的话，所以空处应承接前文，讲述对方也会记住你说的话。选项D“其他人也会记得更多你说过的话。”符合题意，故选D。 【18题详解】 根据前文“Research found that during a video call, participants remembered more of the information from the call when there was more eye contact included.”（研究发现，在视频通话中，当有更多的眼神交流时，参与者会记住更多电话中的信息。）提到了视频通话的好处在于会让参与者记住更多电话中的信息。下文“The researchers found that a direct gaze for 30% of the conversation is all it takes for participants to significantly increase what they remembered from the call.”（研究人员发现，30% 的谈话中，参与者只需要直视对方一眼，就能显著提高他们对电话内容的记忆。）通过研究进一步证实了视频通话的好处。所以空处应顺承前文，讲述视频通话的意义。选项G“而且，人们甚至不需要大量的眼神交流就能获得这种好处。”，this benefit指代前文“participants remembered more of the information from the call ”，符合题意，故选G。 【19题详解】 结合第一段最后一句“But why is eye contact important in the first place?”（但是为什么眼神交流最重要呢？）可知，接下来的段落要描述眼神交流的重要性。空处处于段首，作为本段的主题句，意思上应和本文主旨一致，所以应讲述眼神交流的好处。选项B“眼神交流有助于增强自我意识。”逻辑上与第二、第四段的首句句式一致，符合题意，故选B。 【20题详解】 根据前文“Research showed that humans find other people more attractive when they make eye contact. Smiling can also help create attraction. ”（研究表明，人们发现与他人眼神接触时更有吸引力。微笑也有助于创造吸引力。）下文“Workmates and leaders will be more inclined (想) to build relationships with you when you look them in the eye. On the other hand, no eye contact can show a lack of confidence.”（当你看着同事和领导的眼睛时，他们会更倾向于和你建立关系。另一方面，没有眼神交流可以表明缺乏自信。）提到了具体到工作中，眼神交流的重要。所以空处可以描述眼神交流在日常交流中是重要的，工作中同样也很重要。选项F“虽然这对人际关系很重要，但在工作中也很重要。”，符合题意，故选F。 第三部分 语言知识运用（共三节，满分40分） 第一节完型填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 80-year-old Joao is a great Brazilian classical pianist.

B An emoji may be a fun form of communication but it is destroying the English language, a study has shown. Smiling faces, love hearts, a thumbs up and so on — rather than words — are the preferred way of communication by teenagers, who are considered the worst offenders in grammar and punctuation. More than a third of British adults believe the emoji is the reason for the fall in proper language usage. Of the two thousand adults, aged 18 to 65 who were asked for their opinions, 94 percent thought English was in a state of decline, with 80 percent thinking youngsters as the worst offenders. The most common mistakes made by British people are spelling mistakes (21 percent), followed closely by apostrophe(撇号) placement (16 percent） and the misuse of commas (16 percent). More than half of British adults are not confident of their command of spelling and grammar. Furthermore, around three quarters of adults rely on the emoji to communicate. The use of emoji has affected the English culture so much that the “Oxford Dictionaries Word of the Year” in 2015 wasn’t actually a word at all — it was the “face with tears of joy” emoji. That shows just what a great effect the emoji has. Meanwhile, research earlier showed that using an emoji in emails when delivering bad news can soften the blow. It could help workplace communication, even though it could be seen as unprofessional. The study found that the emoji clearly increased the level of understanding in a message. Emoticons like the “smiling face” or “face with tears of joy” imitated (模仿) expressions and gestures and added a new layer of meaning. Interestingly, this only worked for a positive emoji. The “sad face” had little or no effect on how people responded to the meaning. 4. Which of the following can best express the writer’s feeling about the effect of emoji? A. Positive. B. Annoyed. C. Concerned. D. Surprised. 5. What can we know from Paragraph 4? A. Few British people misuse an emoji. B. Most adults are unsure about grammar. C. Less than half of adults depend on the emoji. D. Most British people make spelling mistakes. 6. What does the underlined word “That” in Paragraph 5 refer to? A. The use of an emoji. B. The effect of an emoji. C. The “face with tears of joy” emoji. D. The emoji being 2015 “Word of the Year”. 7. What might be the reason for a boss to put a positive emoji into emails? A. An emoji makes emails look unprofessional. B. The emoji plays a role in avoiding embarrassment. C. The emoji imitates people’s expressions and gestures. D. An emoji helps receivers understand his messages better. C My granddad often helped me make a tool to catch fish when I was young and we would spend hours along a river. It was lovely for both of us then. Many more of today’s grandparents have a growing sense of adventure. And a trend is catching on: skip-gen travel — grandparents taking fun-filled vacations with grand kids without their parents along. A survey found that 83% of grandparents put travel with their grand kids as the number one thing when they retire. Skip-gen travel gets popular for good reason. Kids have their lives enriched and learn outside classrooms. This is also a time of talking and sharing ideas. “How grandparents talk to children is different from how parents talk to them. Actually, I feel on a more equal footing with my grandchildren than I do with my own children,” Annie Collins, a travel architect and also part of the trend, says. “Kids away from their parents are more open to ideas and willing to express themselves. It’s not just kids gaining from traveling. Who gets the most out of this? You might think it’s them but it’s us.” According to a study by the Cleveland Clinic, grandparents who help watch and spend time with grand kids may actually live longer than their peers（同龄人）. It’s also important to recognize that grandparents often have more time to travel. Unlike their children, who may still be in the pursuit of a personal career that offers limited time off, grandparents are often retired and likely have a different viewpoint on life, prioritizing experiences and family. So knowing the kids are in great hands, moms and dads will have a bit of time to themselves — some much-needed leisure time alone to rest and recharge their batteries. However, skip-gen travel is not for every grandparent. After all, grandparents are worn out with years and not so energetic. They surely treasure the chance to form close ties with their grandchildren, but it’s wiser to say no when only the youth could enjoy themselves, for the travel should be a win for everyone involved. 8. Why does the author mention fishing experiences with his granddad? A. To lead in the trend of skip-gen travel. B. To share the pleasure in going fishing. C. To stress the importance of family ties. D. To show the growing interest in adventure. 9. Which of the following may Annie Collins agree? A. Many parents are too strict with children. B. Grandparents benefit more from skip-gen travel.

D They wear the latest fashions with the most up-to-date accessories(配饰)．Yet these are not girls in their teens or twenties but women in their sixties and seventies．A generation which would once only wear old-fashioned clothes is now favouring the same high street looks worn by those half their age． Professor Julia Twigg, a social policy expert, said, “Women over 75 are now shopping for clothes more frequently than they did when they were young in the 1960s．In the 1960s buying a coat for a woman was a serious matter．It was an expensive item that they would purchase only every three or four years — now you can pick one up at the supermarket whenever you wish to．Fashion is a lot cheaper and people get tired of things more quickly．” Professor Twigg analysed family expenditure(支出) data and found that while the percentage of spending on clothes and shoes by women had stayed around the same — at 5 or 6 percent of spending — the amount of clothes bought had risen sharply． The professor said, “Clothes are now 70 percent cheaper than they were in the 1960s because of the huge expansion of production in the Far East．In the 1960s Leeds was the heart of the British fashion industry and that was where most of the clothes came from, but now almost all of our clothes are sourced elsewhere．Everyone is buying more clothes but in general we are not spending more money on them．” Fashion designer Angela Barnard, who runs her own fashion business in London, said older women were much more affected celebrity(名流) style than in previous years． She said, “When people see stars such as Judi Dench and Helen Mirren looking attractive and fashionable in their sixties, they want to follow them．Older women are much more aware of celebrities．There’s also the boom in TV programmes showing people how they can change their look, and many of my older customers do yoga to stay in shape well in their fifties．When I started my business a few years ago, my older customers tended to be very rich, but now they are what I would call ordinary women．My own mother is 61 and she wears the latest fashions in a way she would never have done ten years ago．” 12. Professor Twigg found that, compared with the 1960s, _________． A. the price of clothes has generally fallen by 70% B. the spending on clothes has increased by 5% or 6% C. people spend 30% less than they did on clothes D. the amount of clothes bought has risen by 5% or 6% 13.
