Unfortunately, in this modern world, we have become confused by very narrow standards of beauty. Images of celebrities who never seem to age are seen everywhere these days. We forget the fact that most of these images are the result of super photo manipulation (处理), driven by the incredibly powerful beauty industry. We are all different why should we all look the same? Isnt there more to life than undergoing surgery in order to have the same boring face that everybody else wants to have?Dr Elisabeth McKenna, PsychologistYes, its fake! Thats what I told my friends when they started asking me about my nose job. Id always been sensitive to my nose, but it took me a long time before I decided to go for cosmetic surgery. I took advice from several doctors and after careful consultation I finally decided to have it done. I had been saving money from my parttime job and my parents helped me out with the rest. It was quite expensive but I dont regret a penny of it. In fact I wish Id had it done a few years ago. I m sure I wouldnt have been teased so much at school.Debbie Caron, StudentIt makes me really angry to think of the millions of people who spend a fortune on cosmetic surgery. Surgery should be carried out for medical purposes, not vanity (虚荣心). I would rather all the money spent on cosmetic surgery was available to treat people around the world who are in need but cant get proper medical treatment. Furthermore, there are thousands of underqualified surgeons out there who only care about getting as rich as possible as quickly as possible. They dont care about the psychological and physical damage they do. The whole industry makes me sick. We should do something to ban it.Danny Glass, Student【语篇解读】本文关于整容的。文中介绍了三个人的观点，一个是Elisabeth McKenna博士，心理学家，他认为整容手术就是欺骗人的。两个学生，一个认为整容给了自己更多的自信，一个认为整容业就是不择手段赚钱令人恶心。1.

We are all different.”我们忘记了这一事实，大多数(永葆青春的名人的)漂亮的照片是被超级处理的结果，这是被强大的美容行业所驱动。由此可知这些看起来不老的人的照片都是经过人工处理的，是假的，故我们不要被所谓的“完美”所欺骗。分析选项可知A符合题意，故选A。2. What did Debbie Carons cosmetic surgery bring to her?A.

They should be treated as patients.B. They hurt themselves badly.C. They can have a new start.D.

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 dont 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 blondehaired 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 tribes 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 dont 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 dont you think the idea of getting surgery done to look more attractive is crazy?【语篇解读】本文主要介绍了不同群体的文化差异使得人们对美的观点不尽相同。【段意梳理】 第一段：点明文章的主旨，通过介绍当今社会存在的一些现象，指出美会随着文化的不同而发生变化。 第二段：举例论述文章观点，介绍了美国人和肯尼亚人对美的不同观点。 第三段：对比韩国和朝鲜各自独特的对美的观点。5What does the underlined word “vacillating”in Paragraph 1 probably mean?AInconsistent. BReasonable.CUnusual. DSimilar.解析：A词义猜测题。根据第一段第二句“But could you imagine being considered beautiful for years，and suddenly being ugly after moving to another continent”可知，许多年里，你都被认为是美丽的，当你搬到另一个大陆时突然会被认为是难看的。由此可知美会随着地点的不同发生变化，因此此处指人们没有意识到不同国家的人对美的观点是不一致的。inconsistent“不一致的”；reasonable“合理的”；unusual“不寻常的”；similar“相似的”。6The Maasai tribe in Kenya is mentioned to show that in their eyes _.Agetting dirty is stylishBlooking fierce is beautifulCstrong people cut their skinDAmerican girls love shopping解析：B细节理解题。根据第二段的“If you dont look fierce，you are not beautiful”可知，肯尼亚的Maasai部落认为看起来凶猛就是美丽的。7According to the woman interviewed，women in North Korea now _.Acare a lot about their appearanceBput the beauty of eyes in the first placeCpay great attention to their abilityDare crazy about double eyelid surgery解析：C细节理解题。根据最后一段的“claims，that beauty North Korea is based more on your ability to be a good woman and wife”可知，朝鲜的女性现在更加关注她们成为好女人和好妻子的能力。8What does the text mainly tell us?AInner beauty is of great importance.BIdeas of beauty vary among culture groups.CDifferent ways are needed to admire true beauty.DFashion magazines easily influence young people.解析：B主旨大意题。根据第一段的“It is a sad reality that people dont realize how vacillating the idea of beauty can be from one country to another”可知，不同国家的人对美的观点是不同的，即不同的文化群体对美的观点不尽相同。C(2018安徽高三阶段性测试)When Marco Polo travelled to Hangzhou，China about 700 hundred years ago，he had never thought hed be creating a job of social media ambassador in the 21st century in China.

Located about 100 miles southwest to Shanghai，Hangzhou is home to 8.44 million population and among Chinas richest cities as measured by per capita GDP.Traditionally，Hangzhou is known for its charming West Lake，a UNESCO World Heritage Site with traditional Chinese stories and tales，and the Grand Canal，which travels from Hangzhou to Beijing and was a key route of transportation in ancient China.The citys mild climate and charming environment drew 9.7 million tourists last year，contributing to 6.5% of the citys GDP. The lucky winner would start an allexpensepaid trip to Hangzhou，which，in addition to visits to tourist sites and tastings of delicious food，also would include a fourday ride along the Grand Canal and three evenings spent at a local residents home. “It is in fact a parttime job.How you work that out efficiently is your problem，”Liam Bates，perhaps the strongest competitor because of his fluent Chinese，said.“We will see how hard it is to meet these numbers.”【语篇解读】本文主要介绍了一项杭州旅游推广大使选拔活动。9The purpose of Hangzhou choosing a social media ambassador is to _.Akeep Marco Polo in peoples memoriesBattract more foreign tourists to ChinaCencourage more foreigners to speak ChineseDexplore a new route of transportation解析：B细节理解题。根据第二段的“On May 20，one lucky foreigner would be selected to become the modernday Marco Polo，getting a free 15day trip to the scenic city of Hangzhou in China，and rewarded with $55,000 in the next year for working parttime to promote the city to the global audience”可知，社交大使选拔的目的是向世界推广杭州，以吸引更多的游客来中国参观。10From Paragraph 3，we know that _.AHangzhou is 100 miles northwest to ShanghaiB8.44 million visitors came to Hangzhou last yearCtourism plays an important role in the GDP of HangzhouDthe Grand Canal travels from Hangzhou to Shanghai解析：C推理判断题。根据第三段的最后一句“The citys mild climate and charming environment drew 9.7 million tourists last year, contributing to 6.5% of the citys GDP”可推知，旅游业对杭州的GDP增长具有重要的作用。干扰项分析：根据第三段第一句可知，A项错，杭州在上海的西南，而不是西北；B项错在8.44 million；京杭大运河是从杭州到北京，故排除D。11Liam Bates was most likely to get the job mainly due to his _.Atravel experienceBfluent ChineseCadventurous spirit Dexcellent videos解析：B细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“perhaps the strongest competitor because of his fluent Chinese”可知，Liam Bates最可能得到这份工作是因为他能说流利的汉语。12Which of the following might be the best title for this passage?AHangzhou rewards international visitors toChinaBLiam Bates creates a dream job of social mediaambassadorCA dream job in China$55,000 to the contemporary Marco PoloDHangzhou，a famous city for West Lake and the Grand Canal解析：C标题判断题。根据第二段的第一句“On May 20，one lucky foreigner would be selected to.to the global audience”并结合全文的整体内容可知，本文是一篇新闻报道，主要报道了一个有趣的工作，即：做杭州旅游推广大使。D(2018辽宁大连双基测试)For many people, being on the job might just sound like a picnic compared to a day at home filled with housework, meals and childcare. Even for those with a happy family life, home can sometimes feel more taxing than work.In a new study, researchers at Penn State University found significantly and consistently lower levels of cortisol (皮质醇) released in response to stress, in a majority of subjects when they were at work compared to when they were at home. This was true for both men and women, and parents and people without children.Both men and women showed less stress at work. But women were more likely to report feeling happier there. Men were more likely to feel happier at home. Experts say there are other reasons why work is less stressful than home for many. “Paid work is more valued in society，” says Sarah Damaske, the lead researcher on the study. “Household work is boring and not particularly rewarding.”We get better at our job with time and the increased competence means less stress and more rewards. Yet none of us, no matter how long weve been doing it, ever truly feels like an expert at parenting or even at marriage.The support and friendship of coworkers also offer stress relief. At home, meanwhile, stress spreads and accumulates quickly. “Thats the reason why most housewives wish they were the bread earners，” Dr. Damaske says.Much of the advice to families and couples includes the warning to leave work stress at the office and even to change our mindset from work to home, for example, a walk around the block. The recent findings, though, suggest our home life, not our attitude, might be due for some change.【语篇解读】本文主要介绍了一项研究，该研究表明越来越多的人认为上班比在家做家务、做饭和带孩子更轻松一些。13Which of the following can replace the underlined word “taxing”？AstressfulBcheerfulCworthwhile Drewarding解析：A词义猜测题。本题可利用句意推断法及语境分析法解题。根据第一段第一句“For many people, being on the job might just sound like a picnic compared to a day at home filled with housework, meals and childcare”可知，很多人认为与在家做家务、做饭和带孩子相比，工作像野餐一样。言外之意，上班比在家轻松，在家比上班更有压力。14What did the research in the second paragraph prove?AMen felt better at home.BWomen felt they had less time.CWomen were easier to feel happier.DMost people felt more stress at home.解析：D细节理解题。本题可利用分析长难句法解题。根据第二段内容可知，研究发现：比起在家里，大多数人在工作的时候，面对压力，他们的皮质醇水平显著且连续地降低，这项研究证明大多数人感觉在家更有压力。故选D。15What do most people think of work at the office?AIt is competitive.BIt improves ability.CIt cant relieve stress.DIt doesnt always pay off.解析：B细节理解题。根据第四段的第一句“We get better at our job with time and the increased competence. rewards”可知，随着时间的推移，大多数的人在工作中能提高能力。故选B。16According to the recent findings, what should we change to solve the problem mentioned?AOur attitude.
