11、、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。A Turning on the TV, a wonderful scene comes to your eyes a group of men, tall, strong and handsome, and women, young, beautiful and attractive, too. Together they eat in the finest restaurants, traveling everywhere around the world by luxurious planes and pleasure ships.
12、 They are models. Do you envy them? What sort of life are models leading? Is it a wonderful life for a young lady or a young man?A few models are well-known actors or actresses who can make a lot of money only by showing themselves off in commercials. But the majority of them are just curious to see
13、 what it is like. Theyd like to be models just because they are attracted by what they imagine models earn a lot of money and lead a glorious life. This is true for those who are very successful. However, most models find it difficult to get work. Very few can earn enough to live on, and for all mod
14、els their expenses are high. Their agents claim about 20% of the earnings, and no model will get very far without a clever agent. Besides, they have to buy good clothing. They also have to pay to travel to interviews and reach the places where the work is to be done. Interviews for a model job are k
15、nown as cattle-markets in the modeling world, and not without a good reason. A top model can choose his or her work, demand and receive high fees and has his or her expenses paid. But for most models, the situation is quite different. And agent or employer inspects each model much as a farmer inspec
16、ts cattle at a market. Intelligence, qualifications and personal characteristics count for little against good looks and tight figures. For all except the very few lucky ones, the life of a model is a continual search for work, trying to sell himself or herself in the face of fierce competition and,
17、 sometimes, not particularly moral standards on the part of some employers. Immigration officials at airport look suspiciously at a girl whose passport shows her occupation as “Model”, and these are men and women of considerable experience of the world. It comes no surprise to find that some models
18、prefer to put “Secretary” or “Businessman” as their jobs in their passports. Modeling is a changeable world with great rewards for a tiny minority but not for the majority.26. For models, their good looks and tight figures are _, compared with their intelligence and qualifications. A. more important
19、 less needed C. less essential more looked down upon27. Which of the following can lead you to believe according to the passage? A. A models traveling expenses are usually paid by his employer. B. To be a model, good looks are the most important qualification. C. Most models have a fairly easy way o
20、f life with high pay. D. A model can hardly be successful without a good agent.28. Models often put “Secretary” or “Businessman” instead of “Model” in their passports because _. A. they want to avoid being stopped to sign their names by fans B. a person with the occupation of a model is easily attac
21、ked by black societies C. models are sometimes looked down upon D. secretaries and businessmen are free of custom duty29. What may be the authors attitude towards modeling? A. It is a worthwhile life for a young lady or a young man. B. He is in favor of young people to try modeling.C. Before being c
22、razy about a model job, young people should be aware of the difficulties. D. It is a field in which everyone has a great chance to succeed.30. The underlined word “suspiciously” can most probably be replaced by _.A. doubtfully B. excitedly C. proudly D. sadlyBAmericans are proud of their variety and
23、 individuality, yet they love and respect few things more than a uniform, whether it is the uniform of an elevator operator or the uniform of a five-star generalWhy are uniforms so popular in the United States?Among the arguments for uniforms, one of the first is that in the eyes of most people they
24、 look more professional than civilian(百姓的) clothesPeople have become conditioned to expect superior quality from a man who wears a uniformThe television repairman who wears uniform tends to inspire more trust than one who appears in civilian clothesFaith in the skill of a garage mechanic is increase
25、d by a uniformWhat easier way is there for a nurse, a policeman, a barber, or a waiter to lose professional identity(身份) than to step out of uniform?Uniforms also have many practical benefits. They save on other clothes. They save on laundry bills. They are tax-deductible(可减税的). They are often more
26、comfortable and more durable than civilian clothes.Primary among the arguments against uniforms is their lack of variety and the consequent loss of individuality experienced by people who must wear themThough there are many types of uniforms, the wearer of any particular type is generally stuck with
27、 it, without change, until retirementWhen people look alike, they tend to think, speak, and act similarly, on the job at least.Uniforms also give rise to some practical problemsThough they are long-lasting, often their initial expense is greater than the cost of civilian clothesSome uniforms are als
28、o expensive to maintain, requiring professional dry cleaning rather than the home laundering possible with many types of civilian clothes.31. It is surprising that Americans who worship variety and individuality _.A. still judge a man by his clothesB. hold the uniform in such high regardC. enjoy hav
29、ing a professional identityD. will respect an elevator operator as much as a general in uniform32. People are accustomed to think that a man in uniform _.A. suggests quality work B. discards his social identityC. appears to be more practical D. looks superior to a person in civilian clothes33. The c
30、hief function of a uniform is to _.A. provide practical benefits to the wearer B. make the wearer catch the public eyeC. inspire the wearers confidence in himself D. provide the wearer with a professional34 According to the passage, people wearing uniforms _. A. are usually helpful B. have little or
31、 no individual freedomC. tend to lose their individuality D. enjoy greater popularity35. The best title for this passage would be _.A. Uniforms and Society B. The Importance of Wearing a UniformC. Practical Benefits of Wearing a Uniform D. Advantages and Disadvantages of UniformsCOne of the stronges
32、t arguments for the raising of the school leaving age (ROSLA) has been that it will bring us some way nearer to “equality of opportunity”.Many people like to think of our present system of schooling as providing plenty of steps up the ladder of success for clever children. It would be good to think
33、that no one who is really bright can be missed out when the state system is obviously so complete. It is obvious, for instance, that many children from less wealthy homes reach university or do well in other ways.Unfortunately, we now have plenty of proofs that many children of every level of abilit
34、y do much less well than they could. For instance, during the years of national military service it was possible to test the intelligence of all male 18-to-20-year-old. Half of those soldiers who were placed in the two highest ability groups had left school at 15.It has also been shown that the perc
35、entage of working class children going to university is almost the same now as it was in 1939. One study of 5000 children from birth to 21 years old shows that up to half the bright pupils from working class homes left school when they reached 16 years old. Moreover, there is no difference in intell
36、igence between the sexes, but far more boys than girls stay in education after 16.It is clear from this and many other proofs that many children are still leaving school too early to benefit from the prizes money, social respectability, and interesting jobs which higher education gives. It is clear
37、too that the reasons why such children leave have much to do with their social background. Their parents often need the extra money another money-earner would bring in; they dont value education for itself because their own was probably dull and unhappy. It is not so much that they force their sons
38、and daughters to leave school, rather than they tend to say, “Its up to you.”36. It is hoped that ROSLA will give all children _.A. a more enjoyable time at schoolB. the same chances in society C. the right to a better schoolD. higher scores in intelligence tests37. People would like to think that _
39、.A. equal numbers of poor and wealthy children reach universityB. those with the least money get the best educationC. intelligent children are always selected by the systemD. only really clever children do well38. Working class children are thought to be at a disadvantage because _.A. many of the cl
40、ever ones leave school earlyB. fewer go to university than ever beforeC. more than half leave school when they are 16D. fewer boys than girls stay at school after 1639. Many children leave school early because _.A. their social background makes them unhappyB. they have to give something to their fam
41、ilys incomeC. their school is a dull and unhappy placeD. their parents dont allow them to make their own decisions40. This article shows that equal opportunity in education _.A. is a thing of the past B. has not yet been achievedC. is there for those who deserve it D. has greatly improved our societ
42、yDIf English means endless new words, difficult grammar and sometimes strange pronunciation, you are wrong. Havent you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language?According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in yo
43、ur brain power. Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter. This is the area of the brain which processes information. It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles.The study also found the effect is greater, the younger people learn a second language.A team led by D
44、r Andrea Mechelli, from University College London, took a group of Britons who only spoke English. They were compared with a group of “early bilinguals” who had learnt a second language before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners.Scans showed that grey matter density(密度)in the brai
45、n was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language. But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference._“Our findings suggest that the structure of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language,” said the scientists.It
46、means that the change itself increases the ability to learn.Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales, has researched the link between bilingualism and maths skills. “Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible(灵活的),”he said. “You are actu
47、ally going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas.”The findings were matched in a study of native Italian speakers who had learned English as a second language between the ages of two and 34. Reading, writing, and comprehension were all tested. The results showed that the
48、 younger they started to learn, the better. “Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world,” explained the scientists.41. The main subject talked about in this passage is_.A. science on learning a second language B. mans ability of learning a second languageC. language can help brai
49、n power D. language learning and maths study42. In the second paragraph, the writer mentions “exercise” in order to_.A. say language is also a kind of physical laborB. prove that one needs more practice when he (she) is learning a languageC. to show the importance of using the language when you lear
50、n the languageD. make people believe language learning helps grey matter work well43. The underlined word “bilingual” probably means_.A. a researcher on language learningB. a second language learnerC. a person who can speak two languagesD. an active language learner 44. We may know from the scientif
51、ic findings that_.A. the earlier you start to learn a second language the higher the grey matter density isB. there is no difference between a later second language learner and one who doesnt know a second languageC. the experience of learning a second language has bad effect on peoples brainD. the
52、ability of learning a second language is changing all the time45. In the last two paragraphs, the author wants to tell us that_.A. learning a second language is the same as studying mathsB. early learning of a second language helps you a great deal in study other subjectsC. Italian is the best choic
53、e for you as a second languageD. youd better choose the ages between 2 and 34 to learn a second language第二节 信息匹配(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。请在答题卡上将对应题号的相应选项字母涂黑。首先请阅读下列餐馆的信息：A.
