Passage Three
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage。
In Elizabethan England； there were laws to prevent members of the rabble from dressing above their station。 This was never really effective； but to understand how truly futile it is these days for the upper classes to try keeping the masses in their sartorial place； you need to know what a chav is。 “Chav” — the champion buzzword of 2004 in Britain； acomording to one language maven there — refers to something between a subculture and a social class。 The unofficial definition is a clueless suburbanite with appalling taste and a tendency toward track suits and loud jewelry。
In any case； there’s one aspect of chavness that almost every description mentions right away： Chavs love Burberry。 The recognizable plaid pattern of Burberry； the venerable English luxury brand； has long since come to serve as a status signifier。 Presumably it is status that chavs are looking for when they snap up anything and everything emblazoned with the plaid。 The most popular element of the chav uniform is the Burberry plaid cap。
Stacey Cartwright； a Burberry executive； argues that this chav business is just a trivial tabloid story。 The international brand continues to thrive in chav…free North America and Asia； she says。 Responding to reports that Burberry discontinued one of its plaid caps in the U。K。； she says that the “small” British market was slow anyway。 “The chav issue won’t have helped； but it’s on top of what was already quite a sluggish market；” she says。 Besides； she continues； “the caps that the so…called chavs wear are actually counterfeit products； they’re not our products。” Burberry still offers； for example； a 200 cashmere plaid cap in Britain。 “That’s out of the price range of most of these individuals；” Cartwright says。
21。 The best title of this article may be 。
A） Burberry’s influence upon the chav business

B） She believes the chav business is of no great influence to Burberry。
C） She thinks the chavness business will soon be out of date。
D） She believes the chavness is the business of counterfeit products。
24。 What can we infer from the passage？
A） People always wear the proper garment to their social positions in the Elizabethan England。
B） Track suits and loud jewelry always appeal to clueless suburbanite。
C） Production of all sorts of plaid caps is shut down now； acomording to a Burberry executive。

Passage Four
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage。
Each day； 50；000 shiny； fire…engine…red apples work their way through a sprawling factory in Swedesboro； N。J。 Inside； 26 machines wash them； core them； peel them； seed them； slice them and chill them。 At the end of the line； they are deposited into little green bags featuring a jogging Ronald McDonald。
From there； the bags make their way in refrigerated trucks to thousands of McDonald’s restaurants up and down the Eastern Seaboard。 No more than 14 days after leaving the plant； the fruit will take the place of French fries in some child’s Happy Meal。
The apple slices； called Apple Dippers； are a symbol of how McDonald’s is trying to offer healthier food to its customers — and to answer the many critics who contend that most of its menu is of poor nutritional quality。
It remains to be seen whether these new offerings will assuage the concerns of public health officials and other critics of McDonald’s highly processed fat — and calorie — laden sandwiches； drinks and fries。 So far； they have not — at least not entirely。 But this much is already clear： Just as its staple burger…and…fries meals have made McDonald’s the largest single buyer of beef and potatoes in the country； its new focus on fresh fruits and vegetables is making the company a major player in the 80 billion American produce industry。
The potential impact goes beyond dollars and cents。 Some people believe that McDonald’s could influence not only the volume； variety and prices of fruit and produce in the nation but also how they are grown。

D） McDonald spend 80 billion on fresh fruits and vegetables。
29。 Which of the following statement is true acomording to the text？
A） Health officials and other critics’ attitude towards McDonald’s food has changed magnificently。

C） Rising price of fruits is the only aspect of McDonald’s action。
D） Carefully chosen fire…engine…red apples are made into McDonald food after 14 days leaving the plant。
30。 Why could McDonald influence the grow of the fruits？
