阅读理解 | I once thought that outer beauty is the only factor to become a greatperson.When I was young, I read many kinds of books, most of which described characters who are handsome or beautiful.So I think that being beautiful is the only way to become a success. As I grew up, the story of my best friend made me realize that outer beauty was not so important to make a person successful.She was so beautiful a girl that every classmate liked to chat with her, but she was very arrogant.In her opinion, she could get all she wanted because of her beauty, but all of her friends left her one by one!Only then did she come to know the importance of the beauty in a person"s heart, which c hanged her attitude and she made friends again. Turning on TV, we can see many advertisements, most of which seem to give us a feeling that physical attractiveness is the most important thing.There_seems_to_be_a_boom_in_plastic_surgery.It is surprising that more and more people, especially girls and women, try it like the first man-made beauty in China, Hao Lulu.It is a common sense that attractive people can easily find work.Most good looking guys usually get higher scores in the job interviews.But, what is real beauty? I want to say that is inner beauty because those who have beauty in their soul are really beautiful persons. As is known, the beauty judged with eyes is temporary, so we should concentrate on inner beauty. And if we make the efforts to make our minds beautiful, we"ll live a happier life. | 1.

What does the underlined sentence in the third paragraph mean? | A. A large number of people pay attention to outer beauty. B. Surgery is becoming more and more popular. C. The price of doing plastic surgery is becoming lower and lower, making more and more persons afford it. D. The living standard has been improved over the past years. | 4. Which of the following covers the passage best? | A. How do attractive persons become successful? B. Plastic surgery is the best way to make a person become more beautiful and successful. C.

If you are too beautiful, all your friends will leave you out of envy. B. If you have a good appearance, you must get higher scores in the job interviews. C.

Those who have good appearances should also develop the beauty in their hearts. | 完形填空 | The most unforgettable thing during my long summer holiday last year, of course is my trip_1_ England.This was my first time to go abroad, so it really made me_2_.

A tremendous breakthrough in his research came when he dreamed of an experiment three nights in a row.The first two nights he woke up and wrote down the experiment quickly and untidily on a pad.But the next morning, he couldn"t tell what the notes meant.On the third night, he got up after having the dream.This time, instead of making notes he went straight t o his laboratory and performed the crucial experiment.Loewi later said that if the experiment had occurred to him while awake he would have rejected it. Loewi"s experiment gives some insight into using dreams to produce creative solutions.Inhibitions (拘谨) are reduced during dreaming, which may be especially useful in solving problems that require a fresh point of view. Being able to take advantage of dreams for problem solving is improved if you "set" yourself before retiring.Before you go to bed, try to think intently about a problem you wish to solve.Steep yourself in (潜心于) the problem by stating it clearly and reviewing all relevant information.Then use the suggestions listed in the previous section to catch your dreams.Although this method is not guaranteed to produce a novel solution or a new insight, it is certain to be an adventure.About half of a group of college students using the method for a week recalled a dream that helped them solve a personal problem. | 1. The main idea of this passage is that________. | A. very little is really known about the meaning of dreams B. it is possible to "catch" one"s dreams by planning before going to sleep C. dreams can be useful in producing creative solutions to one"s problems D. Loewi"s experiment helped in the study of transmission of nerve impulses | 2. The first paragraph is mainly organized by________. | A. classifyin g types of experiments B. summarizing the work of one researcher C. comparing and exploring historical cases D. telling in time order about one man"s researchf | 3. If Loewi had thought of the experiment while awake, he would have________. | A. asked someone else to do it B. thought it was a bad idea C. tried it out on his own D. thought it was a wise idea | 4. The author probably thinks that________. | A. Loewi should not have conducted his experiment B. dreaming is of very little value to most people C. inhibitions may stop someone thinking of useful ideas D. college students should not try out dream experiments | 5. The author seems to be in favor of________according to the passage. | A. seeking creative solutions B. avoiding scientific experiments C. inhibitions before dreams D. becoming a famous scientist | 阅读理解 | "How lucky you are to be a doctor..." Anyone who"s a doctor is right out of luck, I thought.Anyone_ who"s_studying_medicine_should_have_his_head_examined. You may think I want to change my job.Well, at the moment I do.As one of my friends says-even doctors have a few friends-it"s all experience.Experience!I don"t need such experience.I need a warm, comfortable and undisturbed bed all my own.I need it badly.I need all telephones to be thrown down the nearest well.That"s what I need. All these thoughts fly round my head as I drive my Mini (微型汽车) through the foggy streets of East London at 3 : 45 a. m.on a December morning.I am a ministering angel in a Mini with a heavy coat and a bag of medicines.As I speed down Lea Bridge in the dark at this horrible morning hour, the heater first blowing hot then cold, my back aching from the car-seat, I do not feel like a ministering angel.I wish I were on the beach in southern France.Call me a bad doctor if you like.Call me what you will.But don"t call me at half past three on a December morning for an ear-ache that you have had for two weeks. Of course, being a doctor isn"t really all bad.We_do_have_our_moments. Once in a while people are ill, once in a while you can help, once in a while you are given a cup of tea and rock-hard cake at two o"clock in the morning-then you worry if you have done everything.But all too often "everything" is a repetitious rule:look, listen, feel, tap, pills, injection, phone, ambulance and away to the next. And then there is always the cool, warm voice of the girl on the switchboard of the emergency bed service who will get your patient into hospital for you-the pleasant voice that comes to you as you stand in the cold, dark, smelly and dirty telephone box somewhere in a dangerous section of town.Oh, it has its moments, and this life does. | 1.
