1.One of the most successful, influential, and beloved women in American history, Eleanor Roosevelt once said that she had one regret: She wished she had been prettier. Who hasn’t felt the same way? We are all too awake to our physical imperfections. To overcome them, we spend billions upon billions of dollars every year on cosmetics, diet products, fashion, and plastic surgery.Why do we care so much about how we look? Because it matters. Because beauty is powerful. Because even when we learn to value people mostly for being kind and wise and funny, we are still moved by beauty. No matter how much we argue against it or pretend to be immune, beauty exerts its power over us. There is simply no escape.Aristotle said, “Beauty is a greater recommendation than any letter of introduction.” It’s not fair, but it’s true. We simply treat beautiful people better than we do others. Attach a photograph of a beautiful author to an essay, and people will think that it is more creative and more intelligently written than exactly the same essay accompanied by the photo of a homely author.As children, beautiful people are more likely to become favorites with parents and teachers. Later, they’re more likely to get good jobs and promotion. Beautiful lawyers get paid more than their less attractive colleagues. Good-looking criminals are more likely to win the sympathy of judges and juries. Attractive people in need are more likely to receive help from strangers.(1)Eleanor Roosevelt’s regret shows ().A、she was one of the most successful, influential, and beloved women in American historyB、she was not prettyC、she has many regretsD、even she was pretty, she wanted to be prettier(2)“It matters” in paragraph 2 line 1 means ().A、It is a matterB、It doesn’t matterC、It is importantD、It is not important(3)According to paragraph 2 and paragraph 3, which of the following is not true?A、We learn to value people mostly for being kind and wise and funny.B、We can be immune to beauty.C、Aristotle meant beauty is the best recommendation.D、People think a beautiful author’s essay is more creative and more intelligently written.(4)Paragraph 4 is written to show ().A、beauty is powerfulB、beautiful children are favorites with parents and teachersC、beautiful lawyers get higher pay than their homely colleaguesD、attractive people receive more help from strangers(5)The word “good -looking” in paragraph 4 line 3 may mean ().A、beautiful or handsomeB、lovelyC、carefulD、kind-hearted

3.you've probably read the books.You've probably seen the movies.But have you heard the music?The latest Harry Potter news is that bands have been forming to play what is called "wizard rock" or sometimes just "wrock."The new kind of music began when Joe DeGeorge and his brother Paul decided that the characters from Harry Potter would make a great band.Ron on guitar,Hermione on bass,Hagrid on drums and Harry singing up front would make for an excellent group.In one day,the brothers wrote,practised and performed six songs about life at Hogwarts.After the first performance,Paul decided that "we're Harry and the Potters."Wizard rock is pretty much what it sounds like:rock 'n' roll inspired by and set in the world of Harry Potter.The DeGeorges started a trend.Today,there are dozens of wizard-rock bands:the Whomping Willows,the Remus Lupins and the Moaning Myrtles to name a few.Rockers dress like Hogwarts students and play at conventions and festivals.People who like Harry Potter think wizard rock music is totally awesome.The songs can be funny,but the music is not a joke.It's serious.Just ask the DeGeorge brothers.They've played more than 500 shows in 49 states.They dress in Hogwarts house colors,and their hit songs are inspired by characters from the books:"Save Ginny Weasley" and "Voldemort Can't Stop the Rock!" The themes of their music are the same as the themes of Rowling's books:love and friendship,upset and struggle.Wizard rock is just one more spin-off in the Harry Potter craze.Two years after J.K.Rowling published her last book in the series,Potter popularity continues to grow.There are Potter conventions and Potter clubs that try to get kids and grown-ups to help fight hunger,for example.And the fact that they may do it while humming "Wizard Chess" or "Platform. 9" makes those meetings fun.1、Which of the following is a band’s name?A、HermioneB、The Whomping WillowsC、Harry PotterD、Save Ginny Weasley2、Which of the following is wizard rock’s characteristic?A、A funny and jokingB、joking and seriousC、funny and seriousD、serious and dull3、Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?A、The DeGeorge has been popular in the USA.B、People think highly of wizard rock.C、The wizard rock's themes are related to struggle.D、Wizard rock is only popular among teenagers.4、From the last paragraph,we can learn that().A、Harry Potter has had great effect on American's musicB、Wizard rock has created another hit about Harry PotterC、Harry Potter continues to be liked by its fansD、J.K.Rowling will continue to write something about Harry Potter

    All of the following are true EXCEPT __.( )

    [A] men tend to talk more in public than women

    [B] nearly 50 percent of recent divorces are caused by failed conversation

    [C] women attach much importance to communication between couples

    [D] a female tends to be more talkative at home than her spouse


    正确答案:B
    以下选项除_____ 外均表述正确。

    [B]最近的离婚案例中近一半是因为交流不畅造成的
    [C]女性将夫妻之间的交流看得很重要
    [D]女性在家往往比她们的伴侣更健谈
    答案解析:[B]事实细节题。本题可定位到第三段最后一句“Given the current divorce rate of nearly 50 percent,that amounts to millions of cases in the United States every year——a virtual epidemic of failedconversation.”联系上下文可知,目前的离婚率接近50%,按这个比例计算的话,在美国每年因交流不畅导致的离婚案例得有上百万,并不是说“最近的离婚案例中近一半是因为交流不畅造成的”,故[B]错误,为正确答案。第二段明确说明“公共场合男性比女性爱讲话”,所以[A]正确,排除。[c]和[D]也分别能在第四段和第二段找到依据,均为正确表述,故排除。

    1.All research to date on body image shows that women are much more critical of their appearance than men and much less likely to admire what they see in the mirror. Up to 8 out of 10 women are dissatisfied with their reflection,and more than half may see a distorted image.
    2.Men looking in the mirror are more likely to be either pleased with what they see or indifferent. Research shows that men generally have a much more positive body-image than women一if anything,they may tend to over-estimate their attractiveness.Some men looking in the mirror may literally not see the flaws in their appearance.
    3.Why are women too much more self-critical than men?Because women are judged on their appearance more than men,and standards of female beauty are considerably higher and more inflexible.Women are continually bombarded with images of the inflexible.Women are continually bombarded with images of the"ideal"face.And constant exposure to idealized images of female beauty on TV,magazines and billboards makes exceptional good looks seem normal and anything short of perfection seem abnormal and ugly.It has been estimated that young women now see more images of outstandingly beautiful women in one day than our mothers saw throughout their entire adolescence.
    4.Also,most women are trying to achieve the impossible:standards of female beauty have in fact become progressively more unrealistic during the last century.In 1917,the physically perfect woman was about 5 feet 4 inches tall and weighed nearly 10 stone(约140磅).Even 25 years ago, top models and beauty queens weighed only 8% less than the average woman,now they weigh 23% less.The current media ideal for women is achievable by less than 5% of the female population一and that's just in terms of weight and size.If you want the ideal shape,face,etc, it's probably more like 1%.

    All the following can be employed to make the report more effective EXCEPT_____.
    A

    providing more vivid pictures and details

    B

    changing the style to cater for the audience’s appetite

    C

    more live coverage to replace the linguistic explanation

    D

    interval shifts of the materials of the coverage


    正确答案: A
    解析:
    本题可用排除法。倒数第二段第二句提到“A vivid pictorial report followed by less exacting…”可见插入图片是有效的,排除A项。第五段第三句提到“A decline in live coverage could send viewers away and drive ratings down”现场报道的减少可能会使收视率降低,这也就从反面说明现场报道而不只是口头解释会更有效,故排除B项。倒数第二段第四句提到“Frequent switches from one anchor to another or from one film or tape report to another create a sense of forward movement.”频繁地从一个节目跳到另一个会产生一种“前向运动”的感觉。这也从反面说明报道中间隔的休息也是必要的,选项D也可排除。所以选B。
