It is hardly a problem that most of us have to bother as much as we might like to dream that it were the case.Yet the blessings and curses of beauty have been a long-standing interest in psychology. Do those blessed with shiny faces and an attractive body live in a cloud of appreciation or does it sometimes pay to be ordinary?At the most basic level, beauty might be thought to carry a kind of halo (光环) around it; we see that someone has one good quality, and by association, our deep mind may assume that they have other good ones too.Even in the courts, a pleasing appearance can work its magic. Attractive criminals are likely to get less strict sentences, or to escape punishment entirely; attractive plaintiffs (原告), meanwhile, are more likely to win their case and get bigger financial settlements. “Its an effect seen everywhere,” says Walker.But if beauty pays in most circumstances, there are still situations where it can have opposite results. While attractive men may be considered better leaders, for instance, hidden sexist prejudices can work against attractive women, making them less likely to be hired for high-level jobs that require power. And as you might expect, good-looking people of both sexes run into envy one study found that if you are interviewed by someone of the same sex, they may be less likely to employ you if they judge that you are more attractive than they are.More worryingly, being beautiful or handsome could harm your medical care. We tend to link good looks to health, meaning that illnesses are often taken less seriously when they affect the good-looking. When treating people for pain, for instance, doctors tend to take less care over the more attractive people.Ultimately, scientists point out that focusing too much on your appearance can itself be harmful if it creates stress and anxiety even for those already blessed with good looks. “If you are crazy about attractiveness, it may affect your experience and interactions,” she says. Its an outdated saying, but no amount of beauty can make up for a bad personality. As the writer Dorothy Parker put it so elegantly,“Beauty is only skin deep, but ugly goes clean to the bone.”24. From paragraph 1, we can learn that _.A. some may be bothered by their unattractive appearanceB. most people are not afraid of being too beautifulC. we might always dream about being bothered by othersD. being too beautiful can be a problem bothering everyone25. Which is the benefit for beautiful people?A. All attractive plaintiffs have more chances to get away with punishment.B. Women with pleasing appearance will always be considered as better leaders.C. Good-looking people are often regarded as having many good qualities.D. Beautiful criminals are more likely to persuade the judge and win the case.26. The writer mentioned the underlined sentence in the last paragraph to _.A. persuade us to pay more attention to our looks from now onB. suggest that beauty can help make a better personalityC. encourage us to focus more on improving our personalityD. ask ugly people to have more confidence in their personality27. What might be the best title for the passage?A. Real Beauty B. Sexist PrejudiceC. Benefits Beauty Holds D. Beauty, a Blessing? C There are billions of people on this planet, and many of us love to eat meat. Can the demand be filled in a sustainable and affordable way? A bunch of businessmen are not only optimistic but are working to makethis happen sooner than you may think. The environmental effects caused by meat consumptionwaste, animal treatment, health problems and even the greenhouse gas effects that are potentially caused by methane gas produced by cowshave given rise to a number of startups（新兴公司）looking to develop meats in different ways. For example, San Francisco-based Memphis Meats is developing cell-based meats in its labs without requiring any animals. Israels Future Meat Technologies is doing the same by producing fat and muscle cells that are being tested by chefs in Jerusalem. All of these companies use special processes to harvest cells from animals and grow them in a lab. But dont worry if youre not a meat lover, Startups such as Jet Eat, which is also based in Israel, are working on food productsgrown in labs that are plant-based and replicate（复制） meats using natural elements while still keeping flavor, consistency and the “overall sensory experience”, according to a report on NoCamels, Jet Eat, which was founded in early 2018, aims to 3D-print their lab-grown products by 2020. As you can imagine, there are plenty of barriers facing the industry. Educating the public is a big one. Another controversial issue is the labeling of the products. Recently both the USDA and the Food and Drug Administration（FDA）announced that they will begin jointly controlling the new “cell-based meat” category.Many of us have concerns about the challenges facing future generations as our global population increases and the earths natural resources decreases. The good news is that there are plenty of businessmen around the worldlike those producing lab-grown meatswho are working to solve some of these problems and make a little money in the process. Nothing wrong with that.28. Why do some companies begin to develop new kinds of meats? A. To analyse the causes of air pollution. B. To stress the importance of protecting wild animals. C. To make people less interested in eating meat and more healthy. D. To meet peoples demand for meat in environmentally friendly ways.29. Whats special about the lab-grown meats of Jet Eat? A. They cost less. B. They are plant-based. C. They are more delicious. D. They are available on the market now.30. Which of the following is a barrier lab-grown meat industries must deal with?A. How to let people accept the meat. B. How to give the meat an elegant name.C. How to produce the meat in large amounts. D. How to reduce the cost of making the meat.31. Whats the authors attitude towards lab-grown meats? A. Supportive. B. Opposing. C. Unclear. D. Cautious.DIf you are not reading this on a screen then you hold in your hands one of humanitys world-changing inventions. Yet that power has not been matched by fame: paper delights in self-modesty, pointing you to the words on its surface and so acting only as a stage for ideas and arguments that have changed history.For many of us, it has only been the rise of digital media that has finally opened our eyes to papers striking existence everywhere. Of course, paper has found thousands of roles for itself. Your bedside lamp glows through a paper cover and the cups in the office coffee machine are made from paper. It can be as common and practical as a bus ticket or it can be treasured and expensive as the carrier of the worlds best-loved painting.It is clear that many predictions of papers extinction have been premature-and greatly overstated. Much of the 400 million tons of paper produced annually is absolutely necessary to our way of life. The bigger question, of course, concerns the one role paper has had that has been transformative for the world, namely as the carrier of written or printed text. Already,it is leaving much of the difficult work of words to digital media, and many of its centuries-old roles have already been largely transferred to the screen. There is also a sense in which paper has itself become a subject, rather than simply a medium.This began to become clear in art several decades ago, as paper became not simply the backdrop for art but, in a few cases, the stuff of the art itself.This doesnt mean that papers uses as a vehicle for words will end, but it does signal a slowing down. It signals that papers greatest virtues are no longer good enough.Those virtues enabled unprecedented periods of cultural expansiveness, just as they encouraged knowledge, beliefs and ideas to move further down the socio-economic ladder. Yet such transformative qualities are shared by papers digital opponent, and paper can no longer compete on speed of delivery, scale of information immediately available, or ease of access.The digital revolution certainly provides unprecedented access to knowledge. But it is access only. Text that you can hold, shelve and own, due to paper, will always have a magic all its own.32. Why does paper not have well-deserved fame?A. Much information is available on a screen.B. It takes pleasure in being modest.C. Only a small crowd enjoys the benefits of it.D. It always guides readers to focus more on itself.33. One reason why paper won t come to an end is that .A. it is being mass-producedB. it is more than a mediumC. it has a centuries-old roleD. it is a well-known invention34. Whats the purpose of mentioning the best virtues of paper in Paragraph 4?A. To show its fast development.B. To prove its unchanged quality.C. To indicate its loss of competitiveness.D. To bring back its past brilliance.35. What is the best title for the passage?A. The History of PaperB. The Power of PaperC. The Development of PaperD. The Application of Paper第二节 七选五（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。 Imagine a child standing on a diving board four feet high and asking himself the question: Should I jump? This is what motivation or the lack of it can do. Motivation and goal setting are the two sides of the same coin. 36 Like the child on the diving board, you will stay undecided. 37 More than that, how should you stay motivated to achieve the goal? First, you need to evaluate yourself, your values，your advantages, your disadvantages, your achievements, your desires, etc. Only then should you set your goals.You also need to judge the quality and depth of your motivation. This is quite important, because it is directly related to your commitment. At times your heart is not in your work. 38 So, slow down and think what you really want to do at that moment. Clarity（清晰）of thoughts can help you move forward.Another way of setting realistic goals is to analyze your short and long term objectives, keeping in mind your beliefs, values and advantages. Remember that goals are flexible. 39 They also need to be measurable. You must keep these points in mind while setting your goals.Your personal circumstances are equally important. For example, you may want to be a pilot, but cant become one because your eyesight is not good enough. 40 You should reassess your goals, and motivate yourself to set a fresh goal. You will surely need to overcome some difficulties, some planned, but most unplanned. You cannot overcome them without ample motivation. Make sure that you plan for these difficulties at the time of setting your goals.A. This can affect your work.B. So how should you motivate yourself?C. However, this should not discourage you.D. So why should we try to set specific goals?E. They can change according to circumstances.F. Motivation is what you need most to do a good job.G. Without motivation, you can neither set a goal nor reach it.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15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。When we seem to have finally gained things weve worked hard for，most of us tend to think that we can relax and enjoy life. _41_, life has some rude awakenings for us.This was the _42_ for Stevie.
