[单项选择] Passage Two
New Year’s Eve requires the ultimate
party outfit. But what if your holiday spending has burned holes in your
pockets
The answer might be to rent a little luxury.
The renting business has begun to lose the image of an industry filled
with designer tuxedos, Halloween costumes or out-of-date evening wear. Still
largely an industry dedicated to special-event clothing (dinners, corporate
parties, weddings), it has started to branch out into more casual clothing. And
for those not afraid to shop around, it has become an option for dressing up
on a budget.
For the price of rentals (￡150, or $260, for a
four-day period) , the only things available in most department stores are
dresses that look as if they are late for the party." Working women have
sophisticated tastes, but buying an evening dress is a very expensive

[单项选择] Passage Two
Most new words are made up from other
earlier words; language-making is a conservative process, wasting little. When
new words unfold out of old ones, the original meaning usually hangs around like
an unrecognizable scent, a sort of secret.
There are two immense
words from Indo-European, gene and bheu, each a virtual anthill in itself, from
which we have constructed the notion Of everything. At the beginning or as far
back as they are traceable, they meant something like being. Gene signified
beginning, giving birth, while bheu indicated existence and growth. Gene turned
itself successively into kund jaz (Germanic) and gecynd (Old English), meaning
kin or kind. Kind was at first a family connection, later an elevated social
rank, and finally came to rest meaning kindly or gentle. Meanwhile, a branch of
gene became the Latin gens
A. how to coin new words

Passage Two
According to the United States government, people are classified as homeless if they have no place to
stay and no expectation of finding a place for the next thirty days. Although technically accurate, that is an impersonal assessment of an enormous and very human problem.
The homeless population represents all of us Americans. It includes men and women, the elderly, children, and infants. Its members are from all ethnic(种族的) groups. What they have in common is poverty.
Currently in the U. S. , thirty-nine million people live in poverty. When money is really tight, paying the rent or buying food often becomes a choice. Government assistance in the form of food stamps does help but, as one homeless man explains, you can’t pay the rent with food stamps.
With no money for rent, the streets and homeless shelters become the alternative. Although men constitute the largest group within the homeless population, homeless wo
A. the lack of adequate education
B. the abuse of alcohol and drugs
C. the closure of institutions for the mentally ill
D. the poor performance of economy
