阅读理解 The Internet and advances in technology are transforming fashion, making it easier for designers to create collections and less expensive for them to show and ll their work, experts say.  Instead of spending tens of thousands of dollars on a show at New York Fashion Week, some designers prented collections for spring and summer 2010 online, while others are expanding their brand by making it easier for shoppers to buy their clothes online. "It is the technology that is changing our lives, "said Designer Norma Kamali, who displayed her spring and summer 2010 collection as well as exclusive lines(专卖品) for eBay Inc and Walmart.com at the Apple store in Manhattan's Soho Neighborhood. Kamali's iPhone application has a"Try Before You Buy"option, which allows clothes to be nt overnight to a customer, who provides her credit card information, so she can try them on at home before deciding to buy. Menswear designer Miguel Antoinne and womenswear designer Marc Bouwer both put on virtual fashion shows, while models at fashion designer Vivienne Tam's show carried a laptop computer adorned with a Tam design. Mazdack Rassi, cofounder and creative director of Milk Studios, a downtown space that showed about 70 collections during New York Fashion Week, was considering projecting shows on the side of a building so people at a nearby park could watch. With cable TV and the Internet, designers know that their shows can be en by many more people than just the editors and the media who attend. Designers are finding that technology can also help the actual design work by allowing artists to explore new ideas and process. But Simon Collins, the dean of fashion at Parsons-the new school for design, said even though technology is helpful, there is still no substitute for talent and hard work."Absolutely, there'll be people out there that have successful business that don't know the first thing about draping and construction, just think it up, put it on the computer, fire it off the factory and it works, "Collins said."But they're the exception, not the rule." 1.According to the passage, one advantage of the Internet is that it allows the designers to    ___.A. share their collections with other designersB. display their work at a lower cost than usualC. get information about the popular fashion trendD. inform the editors and the media of their collections 2.Which of the following is TRUE about Kamali?A.

考点

据考高分专家说，试题“阅读理解 The I.....”主要考查你对 [日常生活类阅读 ]考点的理解。 日常生活类阅读

日常生活类阅读的概念：

日常生活这一话题主要涉及人们衣食住行等方面的活动。这一话题的选材主要针对人们日常的工作，生活以及学习情况。做这一类题时，最主要的是要把握好人物的活动内容，时间和地点。

日常生活类阅读题答题技巧：

【题型说明】该类文章内容涉及到人们的言谈举止、生活习惯、饮食起居、服饰仪表、恋爱婚姻、消遣娱乐、节日起源、家庭生活等。文章篇幅短小，追根溯源，探索各项风俗的历史渊源，内容有趣。命题也以送分题为主，如事实细节题、语义转换题、词义猜测题和简单推理判断题等。虽然这类文章读起来感觉轻松，试题做起来比较顺手，但绝不能掉以轻心。因为稍不留神，就会丢分。 【备考提醒】为了保证较高准确率，建议同学们做好以下几点： 1、保持正常的考试心态。笔者在教学中发现，越是容易的试题，同学们越是容易失分。为什么呢？因为在这种情况下，同学们极易产生麻痹思想，认为题目好做，就不引起高度重视，于是思维不发散、不周密。而命题人就是利用同学们的这一弱点，设计陷阱题。所以，无论试题难易与否，我们都要保持正常的考试心态。试题容易，不欣喜；试题难，不悲观。 2、根据前面讲到的方法，认认真真、细细心心做好事实细节题。 3、做好语义转换题。这类题是根据英语中一词多义和某些词语在文中能表达一定的修辞意义的原则而设计的。要求同学们解释某生词的含义，确定多义词或短语在文中的意思，确认文中的某个代词所指代的对象，或者对英语中特有的表达、格言、谚语进行解释。这种题要求同学们一定要根据上下文猜测词义或理解句子，切不可望文生义。 4、做好简单推理判断题。简单推理判断题要以表面文字为前提，以具体事实为依据进行推理，做出判断。这种推理方式比较直接，只要弄清事实，即可结合常识推断出合理的结论。
