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

  • 第3题:

    I used to think education was the most important thing in my life. Recently my attitude has begun to change, although I still hold that it is essential for everyone in the world today. As a top junior student in my college, I was asked to make a speech on how to learn English well. Standing in front of the audience and facing so many freshmen, I was trembling. I didn't remember any word that I had prepared. I ran out of the conference room without finishing my speech, leaving everyone puzzled. I cried that night in my room, feeling that I was a loser. Studying takes up so much of my time that I feel unable to really develop myself. I am just storing knowledge, yet I fail to communicate with others. I have received many awards in school, but they don't necessarily reflect anything about me. I don't know how to socialize. When I leave school I fear I will be of no use to society.

    I realize that everyone has his own way of living. I want to change my lifestyle. Of course I will keep studying. Yet I plan to look for a part-time job, which might turn out to be a good chance to get to know society. I still believe that working my hardest makes me happy. I will still stay on in college. But I will not allow it to shelter me from the real world.

    Women with AIDS

    For a long time women with HIV were ignored because the focus was totally on HIV men.The gay community was very much in sight and vocal and successfully got support for its cause.Now we are rapidly approaching the point where about one haff of all AIDS cases in the. world are women. But no one is taking this dangerously high level of infection among women seriously enough.
    Women usually have a worse time dealing with HIV than men do.In most cases,the woman is taking care of children as well as her sick partner. She may not even have time to take care of herself. The HIV-positive woman ends up shouldering the family as well as her own personal problems. Men,however,are usually the ones who have insurance income and access to doctors.They get care.Women often do not.
    The discrimination against HIV-positive women is simply terrible.They are likely to be more inactive than men in the home and workplace because too many people think that women are the cause of the disease.This is not at all true.They get it from a man.They don't just simply have HIV.Of course,there's a social discrimination against all people with HIV.They are scared that other people will know they are HJV-positive and that they will,therefore be discriminated against. For example,it's very difficult for people with HIV to travel.They are not allowed to enter many countries,including the United States,China and Russia.
    The biggest difficulty an HIV-positive woman must face is the isolatjon.Once the woman knows she's HIV-positive,she lives in fear that other people will find out.She's so frightened she will go into hiding,into an isolated place by herself. It's not at all uncommon to meet a woman who has been HIV-positive for nearly 10 years and has never told anyone,except her doctor. And the resulting stress is enough to make her sick.But HIV-positive women who get support,who can discuss their trouble and then do something about it一whether that means taking better care of themselves or going to the United Nations to struggle for their rights一are likely to live longer. Active women don't die out of shame in a corner. This happens to too many HIV-positive women.

    Women with AIDS are encouraged to tell their trouble to others.
    A:Right
    B:Wrong
    C:Not mentioned

    答案:A
    解析:
    第一段第三句讲到“全球艾滋病病例中的一半都是女性”,因此本句表述是正确的。
    第一段最后一句讲到“no one is taking this dangerously high level of infection among women seriously enough",即没人认真对待女性中危险的高感染率。因此本句的表述是错误的。
    虽然文章第三段最后一句提到很多国家不允许携带HIV病毒的人入境,如美国、中国和俄罗斯,却并没有说这些国家的艾滋病感染者最多。因此选项C是正确的。
    文章第三段描述了患艾滋病的女性所受的歧视,但是中间也提到“there's a social discrimination against all people with HIV",所以应该是所有患艾滋病的人都会受到社会歧视。本句陈述是错误的,选择选项B。
    最后一段第一句就说:"The biggest difficulty an HIV-positive woman must face is the isolation.”因而本句表述是正确的,选择选项A。
    文章最后一段讲到那些得到支持并且能同他人讨论自己的问题,从而采取对策的HIV呈阳性的女人可能会活得更长。对具备这些特质的女人,作者在后文中称呼她们为“active women"。因此该句表述是正确的,选择选项A。
    文章中并没有直接明说,但是从最后一段作者对消极应对艾滋病的种种危害的描述来看,他是鼓励患艾滋病的女性勇敢地告诉他人以减轻自己的压力,更好地治疗。因此选项A是正确的。

  • 第9题:

    Faces, like fingerprints, are unique.Did you ever wonder how it is possible for us to recognize people? Even ask illed writer probably could not describe all the features that make one face different from another. Yet a very young child or even an animal, such as a pigeon--can learn to recognize faces, we all take this ability for granted.
    We also tell people apart by how they behave. When we talk about someone′ s personality, we mean the ways in which heor she acts, speaks, thinks and feels that make that individual different from others.
    Like the human face, human personality is very complex. But describing someone′ s personality in words is somewhat easier than describing his face. If you were asked to describe what a "nice face"looked like, you probably would have a difficult time doing so. But if you were asked to describe a "nice person", you might begin to think about someone who was kind, considerate, friendly, warm, and so forth.
    There are many words to describe how a person thinks, feels and acts. Gordon Allport, an American psychologist, found nearly 18,000 English words characterizing differences in people′s behavior.And many of us use this information as a basis for describing or typing his personality. Bookworms, conservatives, military types--people are describedwith such terms.
    People have always tried to "type" each other. Actors in early Greek drama wore masks to show the audience whether they played the villain′s or the hero′s role. In fact, the words "person" and"personality" come from the Latin person a, meaning "mask".Today, most television and movie actors do not wear masks. But we can easilytell the "good guys" from the "bad guys" because the two types differ in appearance as well as in actions.
    By using the example of fingerprints the author tells us that ____________.

    A.people can learn to recognize faces
    B.people have different personalities
    C.people have difficulty in describing the features of finger prints
    D.people differ from each other in facial features

    答案:D
    解析:
    细节题。根据短文第一段第一句“Faces,like fingerprints,are unique”可知人的面部特征和指纹一样,都是独特的,都是不同的。故选D。

    第一篇

    Oseola McCarty

    Late one Sunday afternoon in September 1999,Oseola McCarty,an elderly cleaning lady passed away
    in the little wooden flame house where she had lived and worked most of her life.It may seem like an ordinary
    end to a humble life,but there was something quite exceptional about this woman.
    In the summer of 1995,McCarty gave $150,000,most of the money she had saved throughout her life,
    to the University of Southern Mississippi in her hometown. The money was to help other Mrican Americans
    through university.She had started her savings habit as a young child when she would return from school to
    clean and iron for money which she would then save.
    She led a simple,枷gal existence,never spending on anything but her most basic needs.Her bank
    also advised her on investing her hard-earned savings.
    When she retired,she decided that she wanted to use the money to give children of limited means the
    opportunity to go to university.She had wanted to become a nurse,but had to leave school to look after ill
    relatives and work.When asked why she had given her life savings away,she replied,"I'm giving it away
    so that children won't have to work so hard,like I did."After news of her donation hit the media,over 600
    donations were made to the scholarship fund.One was given by media executive,Ted Turner,who reputedly
    gave a billion dollars.
    She didn't want any fuss made over her gift,but the news got out and she was invited all over the United
    States to talk to people.Wherever she went,people would come up to her to say a few words or just touch
    her. She met the ordinary and the famous,President Clinton included.In the last few years of her life,
    before she died of cancer,McCarty was given over 300 awards:she was honoured by the United Nations and
    received the Presidential Citizen's Medal.Despite having no real education,she found herself with two honorary
    doctorates:one from the University of Southern Mississippi and the other from Harvard University.Her
    generosity was clearly an inspiration to many people arid proof that true selflessness does exist.

    She managed to save so much money because________.
    A:she had ironed and washed clothes all her life
    B:she had worked hard,saved hard and invested carefully
    C:she had opened a good bank account
    D:she knew how to make money

    答案:B

    由文章第四段第三句话“When asked why she had given her life savings away, she replied, 'I'm giving it away so that children won't have to work so hard,like I did."’可知答案为C。

    Passage Five

    Danny was just tired about the way things were going. His mom came to the school and went on and on talking about Rick Jackson. It seemed that she would never stop talking. "Somebody's got to stop that boy!" she was shouting, "Rick's troubling everybody in the neighborhood. And he loves to pick on little boys like Danny."

    Mrs. Green, Danny's teacher, was concerned a lot. "I didn't know that Danny was being picked on," she nswered. "He's never said anything about this to me!" Mrs. Green looked at Danny. "How long has this been going on?" She asked. Danny could only shake his head and look at the floor. He knew if he said a word about this, he would have trouble after school.

    Danny hadn't said anything about the problem because he wanted to play with the boys in the neighborhood. After all, most of them were nice to him. He hated to leave the gang just because of Rick. Maybe the time had come to find new friends. He felt it hard to make up his mind.

    52. We learn from the reading that______.

    A. Danny was not a good student

    B. Danny's mother talked too much about the school

    C. Danny's teacher knew something about Danny's problem before

    D. Danny wanted to get away from Rick


    正确答案:D

  • 第14题:

    I was 15 when I met my first real teacher, Mrs Geurin. I didn’t know her well at the time but I thought I hated her.In her first class, she asked us to write a piece about an influencial person, place or memory. I chose to write my lake house, a topic I had already written about and received a vast amount of praise for. Put simply, it was the place that my parents met and fell in love.This teacher knew about my original piece and she was not happy. Throught the school year,we would pass each other in the hall, never saying a word to each other.It was not until February of 2012 that we spoke at the most unusual of places, my father’s funeral. At first, I was angry that she showed up. Did she even care? She didn’t even know him! I stood, watching her give a deep bow to my father’s coffin, completely confused!It was not until she approached me that I realized she was crying even harder than I was.“Kali,” she said, “I am so sorry. My own father passed away just three weeks ago, and I completely feel your pain.” I was shocked. I understood that she had also lost her father, but I didn’t see the connection between us just yet. She had rejected my writing. That was not something that I was willing to so early forgive.A couple of weeks later, she went into my study hall and placed an envelope on my desk.In the letter, she told me her father, also had cancer, also passed away in six months’ time and he was her best friend too. It was not just this letter, but this act of kindness that taught me my,greatest life lesson. Losing has taught us both how to appreciate life. For that lesson, I am always grateful.

    Women with AIDS
    For a long time women with HIV were ignored because the focus was totally on HIV men.The gay community was very much in sight and vocal and successfully got support for its cause.Now we are rapidly approaching the point where about one half of all AIDS cases in the world are women .But no one is taking this dangerously high level of infection among women seriously enough.
    Women usually have a worse time dealing with HIV than men do.In most cases,the woman is taking care of children as well as her sick partner. She may not even have time to take care of her-self. The HIV- positive woman ends up shouldering the family as well as her own personal prob- lems.Men,however,are usually the ones who have insurance income and access to doctors.They get care.Women often do not.
    The discrimination against HIV-positive women is simply terrible.They are likely to be more inactive than men in home and workplace because too many people think that women are the cause of the discase .This is not at all true.They get it from a man.They don't just simply have HIV.Of cause,there's a social discrimination against all people with HIV.They are scared that other peo- ple will know they are HIV-positive and that they will,therefore be discriminated against.For ex-ample,it's very difficult for people with HIV to travel.They are not allowed to enter many coun- tries,including the United States,China and Russia.
    The biggest difficulty an HIV-positive woman must face is the isolation.Once the woman knows she's HIV-positive,she lives in fear that other people will find out. She's so frightened she will go into hiding,into an isolated place by herself. It's not at all uncommon to meet a woman who has been HIV-positive for nearly 10 years and has never told anyone,except her doctor. And the resulting stress is enough to make her sick.But HIV-positive women who get support,who can discuss their trouble and then do something about it-whether that means taking better care of them-selves or going to the United Nations to struggle for their rights-are likely to live longer. Active women don't die out of shame in a corner. This happens to too many HIV-positive women.

    HIV-positive women make up nearly half of all AIDS cases in the world.
    A: Right
    B: Wrong
    C: Not mentioned

    答案:A
    解析:
    第一段倒数第二句讲到“全球艾滋病病例中的一半都是女性”,因此本句表述是正确的。




    第一段最后一句讲到“no one is taking this dangerously high level of infection among women senousiy enougn”,即没人把女性中危险的高感染率当真。因此本句的表述是错误的。




    虽然文章第三段最后一句提到很多国家不允许他们入境,如美国、中国和俄罗斯,却并没有说这些国家的艾滋病感染者最多。因此选项C是正确的。




    文章第三段描述了患艾滋病的女性所受的攻视,但是中间也提到“there's a social discrimination against all people with HIV”,所以应该是所有患艾滋病的人都会受到社会攻视。本句陈述是错误的,选项B是正确的。




    最后一段第一句就说:" The biggest difficulty an HIV-positive woman must face is the isolation a”因而本句表述是正确的,选项A是正确的。




    文章最后一段讲到那些得到支持并且能同他人讨论自己的问题,从而采取对策的 HIV呈阳性的女人可能会活的更长,而对具备这些特质的女人,作者在后文中称呼她们为“active women”。因此该句表述是正确的,选项A是正确的。




    文章中并没有直接明说,但是从最后一段作者对消极应村艾滋病的种种危害的描述来看,他是鼓励患艾滋病的女性能勇敢地告诉他人以减轻自己的压力,更好的治疗。因此选项A是正确的。

    第一篇

    Florence Nightingale

    Florence Nightingale was born in Florence,Italy,while her wealthy English parents
    were traveling in Europe.As a child,she traveled to many places with her family and
    learned how to speak several languages.
    When Nightingale was 17,she told her family that she was going to help sick people.
    Her parents did not approve,but Nightingale was determined.
    She traveled to hospitals all over Europe.She saw that doctors were working too hard.
    She saw that patients died because they did not get enough care.Nightingale felt that
    women could be doing more to help doctors take care of sick people.
    Nightingale knew that in order for nurses to do more,they needed special training in
    how to take care of sick people.Nightingale went to a hospital in Germany to study nursing.
    Then she returned to London and became the head of a group of women called
    Gentlewomen During Illness.These women cared for sick people in their homes.
    In 1854,England was fighting a war with Russia.War reporters wrote about the
    terrible conditions in the hospitals that cared for the wounded.People demanded that
    something be done about it.A leader of the government asked Florence Nightingale to take
    some nurses into the war hospitals.So,in November 1854,Nightingale finally got to work
    in a hospital.
    She took along 38 nurses whom she had trained herself.
    At first,the doctors on the battlefields did not want Nightingale and her nurses in their
    hospitals.They did not believe that women could help.But in fact,the nurses did make a
    difference.They worked around the clock,tending the sick.Thanks to their hard work,
    many wounded soldiers survived.
    After the war,Nightingale and her nurses were treated like heroes.Finally,in 1860,
    she started the Nightingale School for Nurses.In time,thanks to Florence Nightingale,
    nursing became an important part of medicine.

    Nightingale's parents did not approve of her decision
    A:to work as a doctor.
    B:to care for sick people.
    C:to fight in the war with Russia.
    D:to travel to hospitals all over Europe.

    答案:B

  • 第21题:

    Lisa was running late.Lisa,25 ,had a lot to do at work,plus visitors on the way: her parents were coming in for Thanksgiving from her hometown.But as she hurried down the subway stairs, she started to feel uncomfortably warn.By the time she got to the platform, Lisa felt weak and tired-- maybe it hadn' t been a good idea to give blood the night before, she thought.She rested herself against a post close to the tracks.
    Several yards away, Frank ,43, and his girlfriend, Jennifer,found a spot close to where the front of the train would stop.They were deep in discussion about a house they were thinking of buying.
    But when he heard the scream, followed by someone yelling," Oh, my God, she fell in!" Frank didn' t hesitate.He jumped down to the tracks and ran some 40 feet toward the body lying on the rails."No ! Not you ! "his girlfriend screamed after him.
    She was right to be alarmed.By the time Frank reached Lisa, he could feel the tracks shaking and see the light coming.The train was about 20 seconds from the station.
    It was hard to lift her.She was just out.But he managed to raise her the four feet to the platform so that bystanders could hold her by the grins and drag her away from the edge.That was where Lisa briefly regained consciousness, felt herself being pulled along the ground, and saw someone else holding her purse.
    Lisa thought she' d been robbed.A woman held her hand and a man gave his shirt to help stop the blood pouring from her head.And she tried to talk but she couldn' t, and that was when she realized how much pain she was in.
    Police and fire officials soon arrived, and Frank told the story to an officer.Jennifer said her boyfriend was calm on their 40-minute train ride downtown--just as he had been seconds after the rescue,which made her think about her reaction at the time."I saw the train coming and I was thinking he was going to die."she explained.
    The passage is intended to

    A.warn us of the danger in the subway
    B.show us how to save people in the subway
    C.tell us about a subway rescue
    D.report a traffic accident

    答案:C
    解析:
    记叙文,没有主题句。本文按时间顺序,从Lisa晕倒到 Frank冒险将她救到站台上,全文只是告诉我们一个在地铁救人的事实。
