By speaking and displaying B Are you concerned about your body image? These days, both women and men are surrounded by magazines and websites full of tips on dieting, exercise and fashion. Not to mention hairstyles! Gone are the days when all men didn’t need to think about wearing a nice suit to be smart and handsome. Things have changed. ‎ Now, a survey by the University of the West of England (UWE) has suggested that 80% of men confess（承认） to being unhappy about their body. The biggest body issues for them were beer bellies and lack of muscles.‎ Some think this sudden vanity(虚荣心) is due to the pressure or influence of role models we see on TV and in magazines. People end up with a perception（观念） of what the perfect body should look like. But not everybody wants to put in the efforts to have a perfect pecs (胸肌) and dazzling white teeth like Arnold Schwarzenegger.‎ An opportunistic(投机取巧的) entrepreneur has even invented a muscle-enhancing shirt to be worn under a man’s clothes to make him look more of a hunk. ‎ But Joe Warner, the previous editor of Men’s Fitness magazine in the UK, thinks the padded shirt is just a gimmick(骗人的玩意). He thinks many people in the country are obese, and that they need to do more exercise. ‎ Warner says, “I think it’s a real shame that people still want shortcuts when it doesn’t take an awful lot of effort to get to the gym or go for a walk.” Exercise is always a good thing. But we mustn’t forget that beauty is only skin-deep. Character is more important than appearance. ‎ So before I head off to the pub（酒馆）, it might be worth spending an hour at the gym. I’m not looking forward to getting a six-pack (块块隆起的腹肌), but looking healthier would certainly improve my confidence and self-esteem.‎ What about you: how much do you worry about your physique（体形）? ‎ ‎24. From the survey by UWE, we can know that 80% of men ____________.‎ ‎ A. lack opportunity to prove themselves B. are nor satisfied with their body image ‎ C. want to have a muscle-enhancing shirt D. make complaints about the working conditions ‎25. The underlined word “hunk” in paragraph 4 probably refers to __________.‎ ‎ A. a passionate and cool man B. a strong and sexually attractive man ‎ C. a handsome and energetic man D. a wise and wealthy gentleman ‎26. It can be learned that Joe Warner _________.‎ ‎ A. is the present editor of Men’s Fitness magazine in the UK ‎ B. thinks it’s right for people to want shortcuts to a good image ‎ C. thinks many people are overweight and should take regular exercise ‎ D. thinks the shirt with soft material can change the appearance of the body ‎27. What does the passage mainly talk about?‎ ‎ A. You should never judge a book by its cover.‎ ‎ B. More and more people become obese in England.‎ ‎ C. Role models put great pressure on common people.‎ ‎ D. Men become more and more conscious of the body image.‎ C We’ve all experienced times when we’ve tried hard to remember particular details, but only come up with a total blank. ‎ A recent study dicovered that the more we recall one particular memory, other similar memories are automatically supressed(抑制) by the brain itself. This means that over time, remembering selective incidents（事件） could make you forget many other related incidents. “ Forgetting” then is not as passive a process as we thought in the past. ‎ A team of researchers gave their test subjects some pictures associated with a certain word. Participants were later made to recall an individual memory. Although all the associated memories were originally awakened, repeatedly bringing back just one specific memory caused all the others to get supressed. Each time the same memory was pulled up, the participants were able to describe it in more detail. And brain activity in the areas that stored the other memories simply reduced. ‎ When one memory was recalled so often, the brain recognized that this was more important to us than other similar ones. It simply gave that memory more importance and made sure competing memories wouldn’t get involved. This is what happens to eyewitnesses in reality. As they are made to replay a scene ‎ over and over again, their brain controls other related memories automatically（自动地）. So later, when they are tested on those other details, they can’t get back those memories easily, which make them appear to be unreliable. ‎ Imagine if our brain could keep every single memory it stored. We would spend ages sorting through all of them for whatever information we need. Instead, the brain appears to automatically arrange memories based on how often we’ve recalled those memories earlier, so that it can function faster and more efficiently. In short, this phenomenon (现象) means that people can gradually overcome sorrowful memories by replacing them with more positive memories. ‎ ‎28. According to the text, we used to think that forgetting __________.‎ ‎ A. is to give up selective incidents B. refers to ignoring particular details ‎ C. makes it hard to recall related things D. doesn’t happen actively in our brains ‎29. When we repeatedly recall one memory, ___________.‎ ‎ A. other memories compete strongly with it B. the related memories gets held back unconsciously ‎ C. our brain connects other related ones itself D. the associated memories don’t become active at all ‎30. The author gave the example of eyewitnesses to prove __________.‎ ‎ A. detailed information is easy to forget ‎ ‎ B. sometimes eyewitnessess are not dependable ‎ C. they relate the brain to the scene automatically ‎ ‎ D. all memories aren’t really equal for us to remember ‎ ‎31. Which of the following statements is true according to the text?‎ ‎ A. Our brains can delete extra information itself.‎ ‎ B. More memories make our brain work slower.‎ ‎ C. Every single memory of our life is stored in our brain.‎ ‎ D. Good memories are remembered more clearly than bad ones. ‎ D In 1996, John Tierney suggested in a New York Times Magazine article that “recycling is garbage”. He wrote, “The money spent on recycling programs should have been spent on real social and environmental problems. Recycling programs not only increase energy use and pollution, but also cost more money than the disposal （处置）of plain old garbage. Recycling may be the most wasteful activity in modern America.”‎ Environmental groups were quick to express their disagreement. They wrote reports on how recycling programs in cities can reduce pollution and cost less than regular garbage pickup and disposal. Michael Shapiro, an official of the US Environmental Agency (EPA), said that “recycling can be good value for money, although there’s still room for improvement”. ‎ But in 2002, New York City, a pioneer of recycling, found that its recycling program was losing money, so it stopped glass and plastic recycling. Other major cities watched closely to see how New York was dealing with its remaining program (the city never stopped paper recycling). But then it closed its last landfill (垃圾填埋地), and private companies out of New York rasied price due to the increased workload of carrying away and disposing New York’s garbage. As a result, glass and plastic recycling became profitable for the city again, and New York brought the program back. According to Cecil Adams of Chicago Reader, the lessons learned by New York are relevant everywhere. He believes that, if managed correctly, recycling programs should cost cities less than garbage disposal.‎ Even though the benefits of recycling over disposal are many, keep in mind that it better serves the environment to “reduce and reuse” before recycling is even considered as a choice. ‎ ‎32. Why did John Tierney think “recycling is garbage”?‎ ‎ A. Because he didn’t like the environmental groups.‎ ‎ B. Because he didn’t think recycling was a new idea.‎ ‎ C. Because he found few people would like to recycle.‎ ‎ D. Because he considered recycling a wasteful activity.‎ ‎33. Which argument was put forward by the environmental groups?‎ ‎ A. Recycling programs save money. B. Recycling technologies are mature.‎ ‎ C. Recycling programs cause pollution. D. Recycling technologies are valueless. ‎ ‎34. Why did other cities watch closely to see how New York was doing?‎ ‎ A. Because New York was doing extremely well. ‎ ‎ B. Because they felt worried about the waste of money. ‎ ‎ C. Because they didn’t want to have a recycling program.‎ ‎ D. Because New York was running a new recycling program. ‎ ‎35. Which of the following would the author most probably recommend?‎ ‎ A. Always bring your own shopping bag when you go shopping.‎ ‎ B. Always put your shopping bag into the dustbin after use.‎ ‎ C. Never go shopping where shopping bags are offered for free. ‎ ‎ D. Never use a shopping bag which is not recycled. ‎ 第一节 ‎（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ In our comparison-soaked (攀比成风的) culture, it’s hard to avoid slipping into “Why can’t I?” mode（状况）. When one of my colleagues who I think is not better than me published a new book, I couldn’t help complaining how unachievable it seemed to me and what bad luck I had. Negative feelings like this make life dark for us. __36___ Here’s what I learned:‎ (1) Don’t compare your insides with someone else’s outsides.‎ The first I heard this excellent advice, I was suffering from terrible envy. My professor’s warning shocked me that “You have no idea what it took for them to get there. Don’t just owe it to pure luck. ___37___”‎ She was absolutely right, yet it’s much easier to envy what they’ve got than to ask the serious questions: What are they modeling for me? What have they done to get where they are today? ___38___‎ (2) Transform comparison into celebration.‎ Admiration and envy are responses pointing us towards what we value most. ___39___ If you notice yourself admiring people who take creative risks, bring your full attention to the part of you that wants to be braver.‎ (3) ‎___ 40 __‎ Next time you catch yourself admiring or envying someone’s success, take a moment to consider: What qualities in them inspire me? Where do I presently display these qualities? Remember that the light we see in others can help us see our own! ‎ A. Use the success of others as a mirror.‎ B. Learn to appreciate others’ shining points.‎ C. How to get rid of the harmful effects of comparison needs exploring.‎ D. However, there is no doubt that good luck can’t be ignored.‎ E. Instead, you should find out what’s really going on behind the scenes.‎ F. And once we become aware of what we value, we are much better positioned to create a richly satisfying life.‎ A. When we reflect on those questions, we shift immediately out of comparison mode and turn inwards. ‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 完形填空 （共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ As a music teacher, I have always known that music touches the soul. It can 41 all kinds of barriers to reach students in a special way. It can be the 42 for each child to find their light. I would like to ‎43 a story about it. ‎ For a few years I was 44 with the opportunity to teach disabled students. One of my most 45 students was a five-year-old girl called Vanessa, who had difficulty walking and could not speak. We 46 sat on the floor for our music lessons and Vanessa liked to 47 on my lap. One of her favorite songs was John the Rabbit. It was a call and response song where I sang the call and the students 48 twice while singing the repeating phrase “Oh, yes!”. Vanessa loved to 49 her hands with mine and clap with me. We probably performed that song during every class, Vanessa and I clapping together. But she 50 said or sang a word. ‎ One day, when the song was finished, Vanessa turned around, 51 me in the eyes, clapped her tiny hands twice and said the words “Oh, yes!” I opened my mouth in 52 and for that moment I was the one who could not speak. When my heart 53 started beating again, I looked over at the assistant teacher to find her also 54 . Through music, we had an awesome link.‎ Several years later, I met Vanessa on the street in town. She waved with a big 55 on her face and then clapped her hands twice, imitating the song we had 56 so many times in our music class. The little girl, 57 her connection with music, left an impression on me that will last forever. Every child has the 58 to learn and grow.

As a result, we are very likely to ignore the normal communication with our teachers and classmates. ‎ There is no doubt that cellphones have a negative impact on our life. On the one hand, playing with cellphones leads to a terrible situation where we cannot concentrate on our lessons. On the other hand, sending text massages makes us lose the ability to communicate with others. Worse still, we don’t have much time for physical exercise. ‎ So we’d better limit the time we spend using the cellphones. Besides, we should learn to communicate with our teachers and classmates face to face, which helps build a harmonious learning atmosphere. ‎
