Part A
Directions: Read the following three texts. Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.
For some people, suits are back. For some people—particularly in the boardrooms (董事会 议室) and comer offices of the biggest companies—they never went away.
The old saying "clothes make the man" is as much of a truth as ever. Today, as always, a well-made suit is not just a crucial business necessity; it also sends a subtle message that distinguishes the wearer as a person of taste and, in many cases, as someone with many zeroes in his yearly income.
What suits don't do to the same extent they once did is to reveal the wearer's background. In our age of equality in dressing, one doesn't need to be a blue blood or an Ivy (名牌大学) graduate to occupy the comer office or know the name of the best tailors. The result is that suits have become less a uniform. than an expression of individual style. If you're conservative in outlook, the odds are you will dress that way too. Like to be a bit flashier？ Most likely, so are your clothes.
What has also changed is the way men buy suits and the occasions on which they wear them. Around the turn of the last century, men of all backgrounds and careers wore ties and a suit pretty much everywhere. These days men are more selective about when and where to dress up or dress down. A board meeting？ Wear a suit. A business lunch？ The same. A relaxation at a hotel by a lake？ Not if you don't want to look like the hotel manager.
There are three key elements that go into choosing suits: price, style, and quality. Suits can be broken down into three basic styles: European (i. e. Italian), British and American. Many designers cross cultural lines. For tailoring options, the made-to-measure is the finest. Made-to- measure suits are created by highly skilled tailors to fit your every inch. They may ask you to try on five times before they complete and the starting prices mn upwards of ＄ 3, 000.

听力原文： Are you afraid to raise your hand in class even when you know the answer？ If you are, most people would say that you are shy. If you feel shy, you are not alone. Nine out of ten people are at least a little shy. But however shy you are, scientific evidence seems to show that it isn't your fault. You may have been born that way. How do psychologists measure shyness？ One way is by observation. They keep detailed records of people's actions, like how often these people speak to others or how long it takes someone to say hello to a stranger. Another way to measure shyness is to ask people questions. The test only takes about 10 minutes. It asks questions like "Do you like going a lot？" and "Do you have many friends？" People must answer either yes or no. These questions can predict how people actually behave in social situations. Suppose the test tells you that someone is shy, chances are good that person will act shy. When scientists measure shyness, they are really comparing degrees of shyness. In other words, when researchers say people are shy, they really mean they are more shy than others.
Why does the speaker say that it isn't a fault to be shy？
