That field was not open to her because she was female,” Lundin said. Potter was urged to turn the charming illustrations and stories she wrote in letters to children into books. She wrote 23 books in all — a body of work that has inspired plays, ballets, films and an astonishing amount of merchandise.‎ ‎“The Tale of Peter Rabbit is probably the most famous children’s book in the world, which was published in 1902 and has really stood the test of time. It’s been translated into 36 languages. The parents and grandparents will share it with the next generation,” said Lundin.‎ Potter also made a mark on the world through her land conservation. “In many ways, she was like Peter Rabbit, venturing into a world of adventure and risk. She withdrew from London as soon as she started making some money on her books to the Lake District and became an extremely important farmer and conservationist. She preserved and passed on 15 farms and over 4,000 acres, which were given back to the country as gifts in the 20th century,” said Lundin.‎ Even though she was born 150 years ago, she was amazingly modern — her embracing of the natural world, commented Jennifer Blatchley Smith, an artistic director of the show Peter Rabbit Tales to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Potter’s birth.‎ ‎4. What helped Beatrix Potter to write The Tale of Peter Rabbit successfully?‎ A. Her life and work experiences. B. Her specialty in animated (动画) pictures.‎ C. Her success in becoming a botanical scientist. D. Her interest in animals in childhood alone.‎ ‎5. What is Beatrix Potter?‎ A. A botanist and artist. B. An extremely important farmer and successful scientist.‎ C. A writer, conservationist and farmer. D. An artistic director.‎ ‎6. Why does the author write the article?‎ A. In celebration of Potter’s 150th birthday. B. In honour of Potter’s new contributions.‎ C. In praise of Potter’s spirit of selflessness. D. In support of Potter’s book promotions.‎ C Many young people these days adore the advertised magazine body and become too focused on attaining this image instead of worrying more about what lasts and even grows over time. But could you imagine being considered beautiful for years, and suddenly being ugly after moving to another continent? It is a sad reality that people don’t realize how vacillating the idea of beauty can be from one country to another.‎ Think of the most typical American girl you know. Is she blonde-haired with white skin and light blue eyes, and does she love shopping or sports? Now place this girl in the heart of Africa, where beauty is placed on what you can control. The Maasai tribe in Kenya focuses on how clean people are, and how stylish their piercings (穿孔) are. This tribe’s culture is to be a brave fighter, so they will cut their skin with patterns in it to show that they are strong. If you don’t look fierce, you are not beautiful.‎ Other countries like North Korea and South Korea have their own unique views on beauty. In an interview, a woman who has lived in both North Korea and South Korea claims that beauty in North Korea is based more on your ability to be a good woman and wife. She says that women in North Korea are less concerned about fashion and beauty in the physical sense. She says they did have a time when big eyes were a big deal and everyone wanted to get double eyelid surgery. This is something extreme and could perhaps be influenced by Western culture. But don’t you think the idea of getting surgery done to look more attractive is crazy?‎ ‎7. What does the underlined word “vacillating” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?‎ A. Inconsistent. B. Reasonable. C. Unusual. D. Similar.‎ ‎8.The Maasai tribe in Kenya is mentioned to show that in their eyes　　　. ‎ A. getting dirty is stylish B. looking fierce is beautiful C. strong people cut their skin D. American girls love shopping ‎9.According to the woman interviewed, women in North Korea now　　　. ‎ A. care a lot about their appearance B. put the beauty of eyes in the first place C. pay great attention to their ability D. are crazy about double eyelid surgery ‎10. What does the text mainly tell us?‎ A. Inner beauty is of great importance. B. Ideas of beauty vary among culture groups.‎ C. Different ways are needed to admire true beauty.‎ D. Fashion magazines easily influence young people.‎ 第二节 ‎（共5小题；每题两分，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答案。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ If you are already making the time to exercise, it is good indeed!

I feel quite annoyed at them, especially when some of my classmates praise them as a kind of so-called art. Confronted with this impolite phenomenon, I can’t help asking myself: what is wrong with today’s teenagers?‎ In my opinion, graffiti is a form of vandalism. They are a mess and are ugly to look at. Meanwhile, walls are public places, and they should not be used to express personal views and feelings.‎ I really think vandalism should be stopped, and those who refuse to stop this bad practice should be punished. We should clear away these ugly expressions and drawings so that our school may return to its true self--a clean, quiet place for both learning and teaching.‎ Yours,‎ Li Ming
