　　Ⅲ.閱讀理解

　　Beauty has always been regarded as something praiseworthy. Almost everyone thinks attractive people are happier and healthier，have better marriages and have more respectable occupations. Personal consultants give them better advice for finding jobs. Even judges are softer on attractive defendants(被告). But in the executive circle，beauty can become a liability.

　　While attractiveness is a positive factor for a man on his way up the executive ladder，it is harmful to a woman.

　　Handsome male executives were considered having more integrity than plainer men；effort and ability were thought to account for their success.

　　Attractive female executives were considered to have less integrity than unattractive ones；their success was attributed not to ability but to factors such as luck.

　　All unattractive women executives were thought to have more integrity and to be more capable than the attractive female executives. Interestingly，though，the rise of the unattractive overnight successes was attributed more to personal relationships and less to ability than that of the attractive overnight successes.

　　Why are attractive women not thought to be able? An attractive woman is preceived to be more feminine and an attractive man more masculine than the less attractive one. Thus，an attractive woman has an advantage in traditionally female jobs，but an attractive woman in a traditionally masculine position appears to lack the “masculine”qualities required.

　　This is true even in politics，“When the only clue is how he or she looks，people treat men and women differently，” says Anne Bowman，who recently published a study on the effects of attractiveness on political candidates. She asked 125 undergraduate students to rank two groups of photographs，one of men and one of women，in order of attractiveness. The students were told the photographs were of candidates for political offices. They were asked to rank them again，in the order they would vote for them.

　　The results showed that attractive males utterly defeated unattractive men，but the women who had ranked most attractive invariably received the fewest votes.

　　【文章大意】 美麗被人們看作是值得贊頌的，它往往代表著幸福、健康、美好的婚姻以及好的工作，但是在政府部門(mén)，美麗，尤其是對(duì)于女人來(lái)說(shuō)，卻成了劣勢(shì)。

　　1．The underlined word “l(fā)iability”(Para.1) most probably means “________”．

　　A．misfortune

　　B．instability

　　C．disadvantage

　　D．burden

　　解析：詞義辨析題。前文都在講美麗給人們帶來(lái)很多的優(yōu)勢(shì)，但該句中出現(xiàn)了but，可知liability是“缺點(diǎn)、劣勢(shì)”的意思，所以選擇C。難度適中。

　　答案：C

　　2．In traditionally female jobs，attractiveness ________.

　　A．reinforces the feminine qualities required

　　B．makes women look more honest and capable

　　C．is of primary importance to women

　　D．often enables women to succeed quickly

　　解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第三段的最后一句“...but an attractive woman in a traditionally masculine position appears to lack the ‘masculine’ qualities

　　required.”可知。難度適中。

　　答案：A

　　3．Bowman’s experiment reveals that when it comes to politics，attractiveness ________.

　　A．turns out to be an obstacle to men

　　B．a(chǎn)ffects men and women alike

　　C．has as little effect on men as on women

　　D．is more of an obstacle than a benefit to women

　　解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章最后一段可知調(diào)查的結(jié)果表明，人們更傾向于選擇漂亮的男士，而最漂亮的女士得票最少。所以選D項(xiàng)。難度適中。

　　答案：D

　　4．It can be inferred from the passage that people’s views on beauty are often ________.

　　A．practical

　　B．prejudiced

　　C．old-fashioned

　　D．radical

　　解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)作者在全文中所表達(dá)的意思可知，人們對(duì)于美的觀點(diǎn)有所偏見(jiàn)。難度適中。

　　答案：B

　　5．The author writes this passage to ________.

　　A．discuss the negative aspects of being attractive

　　B．give advice to job-seekers who are attractive

　　C．demand equal rights for women

　　D．emphasize the importance of appearance

　　解析：主旨大意題。根據(jù)第一段的最后一句以及整個(gè)全文可知。難度適中。

　　答案：A

　　“沾衣欲濕杏花雨，吹面不寒楊柳風(fēng)”——春天，一個(gè)溫暖濕潤(rùn)的季節(jié)。請(qǐng)根據(jù)以下表

　　【寫(xiě)作要求】

　　Spring，the starting season of the year，begins in March and lasts three months. It’s a season of freshness and greenness and everything turns back to life. In spring the days become longer，with an average temperature of 20.In the earlier part of spring east winds generally blow，which are not pleasant. But when the showers of April and the sunshine of May have caused the earth to be covered with greenness，all is joy and gladness.

　　閱讀下面的短文，然后按照要求寫(xiě)一篇150詞的英語(yǔ)短文。

　　When students first go to a library，they may be at a loss as to what to read of all the different subjects. Well，Bacon tells you to “l(fā)ook at weak places in your armor (盔甲)”，and shows you how to fill up the blanks in your knowledge. On the other hand，it is no good just trying to fill your mind with knowledge. Knowledge in itself is often useless. A mind filled with too much knowledge is like a room too full of furniture；a man cannot walk about freely in it，and look out of the windows. It is much better to concentrate on a few subjects that interest you and to deal lightly with the others than to march heavily through the whole range of learning，like a silly tourist going through a museum and not missing a single object. If you try to master every subject you may become very wise，but you will be very lonely and you will probably lose all your friends. So you must learn to pick and choose，and you must also learn to look here and there in a library like a camel eating grass on the grassland. If you watch it eating，you will see that although he is supposed to be one of the most stupid animals in the world，he has at least one of the qualities of the cultured man，the power to pick and choose. A student looking for mental food in a library should take the camel as his model.

　　(1) 有人認(rèn)為一個(gè)人的時(shí)間和精力有限，所以讀書(shū)要有所選擇；

　　(2) 有人認(rèn)為要全面了解世界，就應(yīng)當(dāng)博覽群書(shū)；

　　(3) 你自己的看法及理由。

　　Read Selectively or Extensively?

　　The passage gives us good advice that since it is impossible for us to read all kinds of books，we must learn to pick and choose the materials we read. ( 30 w)

　　In fact，people have different opinions about reading. Some hold the view that we should read selectively while others think that we should read extensively. Those who hold the first opinion think that one’s time and energy are limited and one can never read as many books as he wishes. However，those who hold the second view think that to know the world from all perspectives one should absorb adequate knowledge by reading extensively.

　　Personally，I’m in favor of the former opinion. Admittedly，we can absorb knowledge by reading extensively，but it doesn’t follow that we should read without discrimination. Since our time and energy are limited，we should devote them to reading relevant and beneficial books. It’s a waste of time reading irrelevant books. Furthermore，some books are harmful. If we don’t read selectively，we’ll be misled by harmful books.
