plans to build homes and a golf course that can float.‎ An increase in sea levels of just 18 to 59 centimeters would make the Maldives—a nation of a number of tiny coral islands in the Indian Ocean—not suitable for humans to live in by 2100,the UN’s climate change experts have warned.‎ President Mohamed Nasheed has declared a fight for survival,and last month he signed a deal with a Dutch company to study suggestions for a floating structure that could support a conference centre,homes and an 18-hole golf course.‎ The company,Dutch Docklands,is currently building floating developments in the Netherlands and Dubai.Its website said it undertook projects that make “land from water by providing large-scale floating constructions to create similar conditions as on land”.‎ The Maldives began to work on an artificial island known as the Hulhumale near the crowded capital island of Male in 1997 and more than 30,000 people have been 11‎ ‎ settled there in order to ease crowdedness.The city,which has a population of 100,000,is already protected from rising sea levels by a 30-million-dollar sea wall,and the government is considering increasingly imaginative ways to fight climate change.‎ Nasheed,who held the world’s first underwater cabinet(内阁) meeting in October to highlight his people’s serious and difficult situation,has even spoken of buying land elsewhere in the world to enable Maldivians to relocate if their homes are completely covered.‎ He has also promised to turn his nation into a model for the rest of the world by becoming “carbon neutral(碳中和)” by 2020.His plan involves ending fossil fuel use and powering all vehicles and buildings from “green” sources such as burning coconut husks.‎

ago.Of course he helped set the trend,so that got me thinking about the link between films and trends in fashion.Fashion and films have gone hand in hand for long.The Wild One is a good example:it appeared in 1954,starring Brando.Dressed in a black leather motorcycle jacket,leather cap and jeans,he created a look which is still considered “cool” today.Everyone from Madonna to middle-aged men is seen wearing the classic leather motorcycle jacket.‎ Another strong influence on fashion trends was Breakfast at Tiffany’s,stalling Audrey Hepburn.She made famous the simple black dress that looks perfect at either a cocktail party or just standing around an expensive department store like Tiffany’s with a pastry and coffee in your hand,as Audrey Hepburn does in the film.She looks so elegant,wearing simple but beautiful dresses,big dark glasses and a string of pearls around her neck.Audrey Hepburn still influences women’s fashion with her “Tiffany’s look”.‎ In more modern times,the film star Uma Thurman created a major fashion trend when she appeared in the film Pulp Fiction,made in 1994.Her style was very simple.Her black trousers,crisp white shirt and hair style was copied by women in the world.‎ 11‎ Influencing fashion trends can often be about timing.The movie Memoirs of a Geisha came just in time to start a trend in Japanese fashion.It starred the Chinese actress Zhang Ziyi,who wore beautiful silk kimonos(和服),and it won an Oscar for Costume Design.Many travel companies picked up on the trend and ran “geisha trips” to Japan.The film has also led to a regained interest in kimonos.It is now quite common to see young Japanese women wearing kimonos not just on traditional occasions,but at various social events.The fashion is also beginning to spread to western countries.‎ ‎【语篇解读】本文是社会文化类阅读。主要介绍了电影对时尚的影响,并通过具体的例子来证明这一点。‎ ‎5.What is the best title of the passage?‎ ‎　　　　　　　　　　　　‎ A.Films and fashion B.Stars’ fashion C.Influential films D.Film

still considered ‘cool’ today.Everyone from Madonna to middle-aged men is seen wearing the classic leather motorcycle jacket.”可知,正是Brando在电影The Wild One中的机车夹克、牛仔裤和皮帽子的服装创造出一种现在人们仍然认为很酷的时尚潮流,当麦当娜穿上这样的服装的时候,人们会联想到马龙·白兰度。答案为D项。‎ ‎7.What is implied in the film Breakfast at Tiffany’s according to the passage?‎ A.One can be active by wearing black.‎
