题型:不详难度:来源:
A Chilean(智利) soap-opera star, a beauty from Ancient Pompeii and a freckled (雀斑的)boyish girl hardly make an average beauty show line-up.
The first world-wide digital beauty contest to the surprise of many online fans was won by a woman who is virtually(虚拟) real flesh and bones. “Virtual models are not the anti-real, they are a different representation of reality,” said Franz Cerami, the organiser of Miss Digital World (数字世界小姐).
Each of the contestants had to provide the charming photo of high degrees, with date of birth and body measurements.
Chilean Rodolfo Perez Ayala decided that no figure of his imagination could beat the beauty of his wife, Katty Kowaleczko, so he hired artist Flavio Parra to recreate her. Kowaleczko, who plays Paula Sandoval in the popular Latin American soap opera Tentacion, was transformed into Katty-ko and won the digital contest with more than 17,000 online votes.
“I’m so happy Katty-ko won. I think her strength is her similarity to a real woman-not too luxurious or exposed”, Kowaleczko, 40, told reporters. “Her beauty is in her simplicity.” Kowaleczko was not afraid of being replaced by her 3D clone in movies or theatres, but hoped she would become “a sort of ambassador(使者) of Chilean beauty”.
Cerami said Latin American interest in Miss Digital World had greatly increased since Katty-ko joined the contest, which attracted about 3600 entries from countries from Iran to Australia and even from the ancient Roman empire.
“Pompea” was the digital reconstruction of a young woman killed by the outbreak of Vesuvius in 79 AD. “She was a slave, but also a rich man’s lover. When her body was discovered, many jewels and a bangle(手镯) with the writing ‘from the master to his servant girl’ were found” said Genny Tortora, a professor at the University of Salerno who led Pompea’s creative team.
Other contestants included Kaya, the most realistic model with digital freckles, pouty (噘起的) lips and upturned nose.
Now, Cerami’s dream is to manage a form of virtual beauties, introducing them for calendars, games, ads, and movies. One is even reported to be heading for Playboy’s front page.
8.The winner in the first Miss Digital World contest was ________.
A. a star who performed in some soap operas
B. a beauty who came from Chilean
C. a beauty who was from the ancient Roman empire
D. a made-up beauty based on a real woman.
9. Which group of the following are the names for the digital beauties mentioned in the passage?
A. Katty-ko, Pompea, Kaya.   B. Katty Kowaleczko, Pompea, Playboy.
C. Flavio Parra, Genny Tortora, Franz Cerami.
D. Rodolfo Perez Ayala, Pompea, Franz Cerami
10. The digital beauty “Pompea” was created by ________.
A. Genny Tortora   B. a group of people  C. by a young woman    D. a rich man
11. What the organiser of Miss Digital World wants to do next is ________.
A. sell pictures of beauties for calendars     B. hold another contest
C. put the digital beauties into practical use.  D. start an ads company
答案
8-11  DABC
解析
8. D 事实细节题。根据第二段“was won by a woman who is virtually real flesh and bones”可知:首届“数字世界小姐” 最后的赢家是一位以真人为原型的虚拟美女。
9. A 事实归纳题。短文中提到的三位“数字美女”,根据第四段“以凯蒂·科瓦列兹为原型塑造的“凯蒂”在网上投票中以1.7万票赢得此次数字小姐大赛的冠军”一句,可知她的名字是“凯蒂”;倒数第三段和倒数第二段分别提到:“庞贝尔”是利用数字技术“复活”的一名公元79年在维苏威火山爆发中死去的年轻女子;其他参赛者还包括最具现实主义风格的虚拟美女“凯亚”,由此可判断出另外两个名字是“庞贝尔”和“凯亚”。
10. B 推断题。短文倒数第三段Genny Tortora, a professor at the University of Salerno who led Pompea’s creative team的意义是:热尼·托尔托拉,萨勒诺大学的教授,他是“庞贝尔”设计小组的***。根据此句意义可推测“庞贝尔”是由集体成员创作的。
11. C 细节理解题。短文最后一段的意义是:赛拉米现在的梦想是成立一个虚拟美女公司,将她们“推销”给挂历、游戏、广告和电影等产业。据报道,已经有一位美女登上了《花花公子》的头版。由此可概括为practical use。

Russian tradition orders that men should kiss each other three times on the cheeks at official functions. Now, a new ruling in Moscow is calling for politicians in the capital to stick to the old handshake. According to Britain"s The Telegraph newspaper, politicians in Moscow have been told to stop kissing each other when they meet because the “kissing ceremony” takes so long.
Leonid Brezhnev, the general secretary of the Communist Party from 1964 to 1982, was famous for treating male colleagues to a full lip-lock. One photograph of him kissing Erich Honecker, the leader of the Democratic Republic of Germany, was used for a protest painting on the Berlin Wall with the caption: "Oh, God, help me survive this deadly love".
Kissing three times on the cheeks at official occasions is a Russian tradition. The practice has been revived among high-ranking officials in past years. In the distant past, a kiss from the tsar (emperor) was the highest sign of recognition. The Moscow ruling, however, has prompted authorities in other cities to consider banning the practice.
Alexei Kleshko, a parliament member in Siberia, said: “Single-sex kisses should be avoided, including at official meetings. It"s enough to shake hands. Of course, if one is talking about a long friendship or fatherly relations, it might be OK to embrace. But that"s the maximum that should be allowed.”
Another MP Vladimir Gorlov, said he only allowed himself to kiss the hand of a woman at work: "There are informal relations and there are meetings governed by protocol," he said. “When a man is kissing another man at an official event, I have a negative attitude towards it. There are rules of decency. "
5. Moscow is calling for politicians to stick to handshake because ________.
A. it is popular at home and abroad   B. it is their tradition
C. it saves time                   D. Russian women have a strong love of it
6. By mentioning Brezhnev, the author ________.
A. wants to show his respect to Brezhner
B. admires Brezhnev for his skills at kissing
C. just shows the media made fun of pictures of politicians kissing
D. praises Brezhnev’s good relation with Honecker
7. If the tsar kissed a Russian woman, she would feel ________.
A. nervous       B. proud            C. shameful       D. curious
8. We can infer from the last two paragraphs that ________.
A. Kleshko is strongly against any kind of kiss
B. Kleshko is a man out of date
C. Gorlove shares the same view with Kleshko is single-sex kisses
D. Gorlove won’t kiss any man in any form
