Her upbringing was a modest one; her father owned a hardware store. Much of her time was spent in trying to make ends meet in the hardware store。‎ It was while working in this store that Esther got her first taste of business. Until World War I， Esther had always wanted to be an actress，dreaming of her＂name in lights lowers，handsome men”.‎ After the War. Est hers uncle. John Schotz came to live with the family. This would prove to be a turning point in the young Esther’s life. Schotz was a chemist who had devoted most of his life to creating“secret”skin-care products. Esther joined him.‎ In 1930, she married Joseph Lauder and her name became Estee Lauder, when she was 22 years old. Lauder’s Dreams had never quite subsided (消退 ) and her husband supported her. In 1947, the two finally decided to go official, and Estee Lauder Cosmetics(化妆品) was founded.‎ She believed that beauty is an attitude, and when you look after yourself properly, it would be a winning attitude. If you looked beautiful on the outside, Lauder believed you would feel beautiful on the inside, and from there, the possibilities are endless Estee Lauder died on April 26, 2004, but her contribution is remembered. Today Estee Lauder is a recognized brand I name in over 110 countries. Why are all brides beautiful?she asked " Because on their wedding day they care about how they look. There are no ugly women-only women who don tcare or who don't believe they're attractive " Beauty is a state of mind and Lauder believed that her products could help anyone achieve that state of mind.‎ ‎24.

Beauty is a Winning Attitude D Great Brand Comes from Beauty C Technology may have made working at home easier than ever,but according to a new study, employees who work alone at home may not perform as well as those in the office. Researchers at Johns Hopkins University in the US wanted to find out whether being watched while taking on a task made a difference to people's performance Many people believe that being under constant scrutiny(监视)damages their creativity while others live in fear of growing nerves in front of an audience during a public event. But the findings ‎ suggest that the pressure of others actually makes pecople achieve more.‎ ‎“You might think having people watch you isn't going to help but it might actually make you perform better," said lead author Vikram Chib ＂An audience can serve as an incentive.When people know they are being observed， parts of the brain linked with social anxiety and reward excite a part of the brain that controls motor skill(运动技能)，improving their performance at skilled tasks.‎ In the new experiment, Dr. Chib and his colleagues asked 20 participants(参与者)to play a video game. The participants performed the task both in front of an audience of two and with no one watching, and their brain activity was recorded. While people were watching, participants were an average of 5 Percent better at the video game--and as much as 20 percent better. Only two participants didn’t perform better in front of others. But if the audience was a lot bigger and the rewards were higher. the results could have gone the other way. "It’s good for people to be with social anxiety. But at some point, the size of the audience could increase the size of one’s anxiety, "Dr. Chib explained. "We still need to do more to find the answer.”‎ ‎28. Why are some people unwilling to be srrounded by others while working?‎ A. Ir's hard for them to be at case B. Technology attracts them more C. They don't want to rely on others. D. They achieve more when working alone.‎ ‎29. Which of the following best explains the underlined word “incentive”in Paragraph3?‎ A. Something that helps you feel calmer. ‎ B. Something that can change your attitude.‎ C. Something that leads to your bad performance.‎ D. Something that encourages you to work harder.‎ ‎30. What do we know about the participants in the experiment?‎ A. They watched each other playing a video game.‎ B. Each of them played a video game at least twice.‎ C. They were divided into two groups to play a game.‎ D. Most of them played a video game in order to earn rewards.‎ ‎31. What can we learn from the experiment?‎ A. People perform better when working together.‎ B. The bigger the audience, the better one performs.‎ C. The size of audience can influence the performance.‎ D. Higher rewards make people perform well as a whole.‎ D With the ever-increasing popularity of online shopping, users' reviews are becoming more and more important. Given that you can't actually touch, see, smell or hear the product you're buying online, these reviews provide buyers valuable information on the product itself. But how far can you trust them? ‎ Barnaby Bicken had an unpleasant experience.“I took some friends to a restaurant in Manchester that had excellent reviews on a food website. However, the service was awful and we were ignored most of the time. Later, I wrote a review to the same site only to be told that the review site owner would not accept any bad reviews-only the good ones” ‎ So, how can you get a useful review? Web expert Hilary Saunders has a few top tips."If there are only a few reviews of a place, there is a good chance they have been planted by friends or enemies. “If there are many reviews, start by dropping the most extreme comments. Also, watch out for similarities in style between: reviews from people with different usernames, particularly if those reviews were placed about the same time. The best thing is to look for reviewers who show some relevant knowledge of the product they are reviewing.”‎ Some companies seem to be contributing to the problem. A publishing house offered gift ‎ vouchers(礼券) to anyone who would give their textbook a five-star review. But not all online companies operate like this.“Amazon works hard to keep the completeness of its customer reviews,” said a spokesperson for the company.“We have very clear guidelines(指导方针)and when a customer reports a review that they feel is inappropriate, we check, and may take down.”‎ So, next time you see that 5-star review for something you want to buy, be aware-it could be the work of a false reviewer!‎ ‎32. What does“them” in Para.1refer to?‎ A. Products. B. Users. C. Reviews. D. Buyers.‎ ‎33. What does Barnaby Bicken's story imply?‎ A. The food served was awful. B. Not all reviews are believable. ‎ C. Many people are easily cheated. D. He likes to write bad reviews.‎ ‎34. What reviews of products are useful?‎ A. Those by competitors. B. Those by different users.‎ C. Those with good comments. D. Those with related information.‎ ‎35. How does Amazon deal with the customer reviews?‎ A. Helps to finish the reviews. B.Pays attention to the bad reviews.‎ C. Offers gifts for the good reviews. D. Tries to make the reviews objective.‎ 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ ‎ 根据短文内容，从短文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。‎ ‎ Every student prefers to get high scores in their exams. But how can you effectively improve your memory and perform well in your exam? Try the following methods.‎ ‎● Try the Memory Palace.‎ For example, if you want to memorize some English words, you might store “furniture, television.” in your living room and “fridge, cooker...” in the kitchen. 36 Through this way, you can memorize these words easily.‎ ‎● Create your own songs.‎ This method has been proven in several studies as a way of sending information to memory. You can use your favorite songs to recreate new songs with information you need to remember. 37 ‎ ‎● Take some deep breaths.‎ ‎ 38 If you are stressed you will have a more difficult time recalling information during an exam. You should put some energy into de-spressing but “turning of” stress is easier said than done. That’s why scientists recommend practice tests to you. Practice tests are not only a scientifically supported means of improving memory recall but they stand up to stressful situations.‎ ‎● 39 ‎ If you are feeling distracted, do some exercise. Studies show that those who have exercised for 15 minutes and then complete a memory task, complete tasks faster than those who haven’t exercised. Even a simple walk can make a difference.‎ There are so many suggested methods for you. 40 If you know that studying alone works best for you, go to self-study room often when you finish your classes at school.‎ A．Reread your notes.‎ B．Try a mini workout.‎ C．We know exams are stressful.‎ D．Skip out all the practice tests on purpose.‎ E.You need to think about the way that suits you best.‎ F.The more interesting you make them, the better the result will be.‎ G.Then you can mentally travel through your house to recall each word.‎ 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 （共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ The small town of Rjukan in Norway is situated between several mountains and does not get direct sunlight from late September to mid-March- 41  six months out of the year.‎ Of course, we 42  it when the sun is shining," says Karin Ro, who works for the town’s tourism office. “We see the sky is 43 , but down in the valley it’s darker — it’s like on a 44 day.”‎ But that 45  when a system of high-tech 46 was introduced to reflect sunlight from neighboring peaks(山峰) into the valley below.
