黄范回答:
  答案:1.B;2.D;3.C;4.A;   解析:   (1)考查细节理解。根据第一段WearingtieswasoriginallythemarkofBritain'smostpowerfulclasses.可知,领带起初在英国作为社会地位的标志。(2)考查推理判断。第二段…sowearingatiebecameasignthatyouwereamanwhousedhisbraintomakealiving…wearapieceofcoloredsilkaroundhisneck可知。(3)考查推理判断。根据文章倒数第二段Isthereafutureforties?Thesignsarenotpromising可知。(4)   解析:   考查对词意的猜测。根据最后一段Seeingthatthemostpowerfulmanintheworlddidnothavetowearahat,millionsofothermendecidedthattheydidnothavetoeither.可知。文章大意:服饰发展过程中,领带和帽子成为权力的标志和身份的象征。随着社会的发展,新一代的创业者为了彰显个性,体现洒脱,产生了新的名人效应,使人们追赶新的潮流,领带和帽子也就失去了原来的光环。
