Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, and DChoose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage. Beauty has always been regarded as something praiseworthy. Almost everyone thinks attractive people are happier and healthier, have better marriages and have more respectable jobs. Personal advisors give them better advice for finding jobs. Even judges are softer on attractive defendants. But in the executive (主管的)circle, beauty can become a liability.While attractiveness is a positive factor for a man on his way up the executive leader, it is harmful to a woman. Handsome male executives were considered as having more honesty than plainer men: effort and ability were thought to lead to their success.Attractive female executives were considered to have less honesty than unattractive ones; their success was connected not with ability but with factors such as luck. All unattractive women executives were thought to have more honesty and to be more capable than the attractive female executives. Interestingly, though, the rise of the unattractive overnight successes was connected more to personal relationships and less to ability than that of the attractive overnight successes.Why are attractive women not thought to be able? An attractive woman is considered to be more feminine and an attractive man more manly than the less attractive ones. Thus, an attractive woman has an advantage in traditionally female jobs, but an attractive woman in a traditionally manly position appears to lack the “manly” qualities required.This is true even in politics. “When the only clue is how he or she looks, people treat men and women differently,” says Anne Brown, who recently published a study on the effects of attractiveness on political candidates. She asked 125 undergraduate students to rank two groups of photographs, one of men and one of women, in order of attractiveness. The students were told the photographs were of candidates for political offices. They were asked to rank them again, in the order they would vote for them.The results showed that attractive males completely defeated unattractive men, but women who had ranked most attractive unchangeably received the fewest votes.56The underlined word “liability” (Para1) most probable means _. AdisadvantageBadvantageCmisfortuneDtrouble57In traditionally female jobs, attractiveness_. Amakes women look more honest and capable Bstrengthens the feminine qualities required Cis of great importance to womenDoften enables women to succeed quickly58Bowmans experiment shows that when it comes to politics, attractiveness_.Aturns out to be a disadvantage to menBis more of a disadvantage than an advantage to womanCaffects men and women alikeDhas as little effect on men as on women59It can be inferred from the passage that peoples views on beauty are often_. ApracticalBsupportiveCold-fashionedDone-sided60The author writes this passage to _. Agive advice to job-seekers who are attractive Bdiscuss the disadvantages of being attractive Cdemand equal rights for women Dstate the importance of appearance BJune 26, 2000 the Human Genome(基因组) Project, a great $3 billion, 15-year task aimed at drawing the genetic map of humans, is now more than 90 percent completeDThe scientific and medical communities are very excited about the chances genetic research provides for getting rid of diseases and prolonging human life. But those communities and policy makers also are careful about the scientific door they are opening as the project uncovers the mysteries of life.For the last few years, the genetic advances in the developing field of biotechnology have provides material for all kinds of work, but the developments of modern science in unlocking the secrets of the human genetic code have opened a world of possibilities for human health, as well as for the popular imagination.While European and Japanese researchers are making rapid progress in decoding(解码) human DNA, the leading organization for genetic research is in the United States, which began in 1990, is “unlocking the code” of the human body to learn how to defeat fatal(致命的)diseases. Already, the Human Genome Project has become widely known and praised for finding the genes connected with terrible diseases as yet, and making progress toward separating the genes that show a sign of breast cancer or AIDS.Once these genes are found and studied, researchers can develop new ways to attack infections and genetic diseases. Medical companies are very interested in mapping the human genome, as they expect to develop a lot of new drugs for these illnesses.61Why did the scientists work hard at mapping the human genome?ABecause the human genome can destroy many illnesses.BBecause the human genomes completion can help them get rid of many diseases.CBecause they wanted to be better known than others.DBecause the human genome can provide a lot of chances of work.62Which country studied the genes most rapidly in the world?AJapan.BGermany.CThe United States.DChina.63Which of the following is NOT true?AIf the genes can be found, scientists can study many new ways to cure illnesses.BThe scientists have made great progress in connecting the genes with the cancers.CMany medical companies show great interest in drawing the human genome map.DThe United States began the Genes Study early in the 19th century.64The author suggests that the Human Genome Project can cause _.Athe policy makers to feel very worried and carefulBthe scientists to work harderCmany people to find work easilyDa lot of companies to produce many new drugs65The main idea of this article is about _.Aunlocking genetic code Bthe genes discoveryCthe great human genome Dthe genes and the scientistsCBelieve it or not, optical illusion(错觉) can cut highway crashes.Japan is a case in point. It has reduced automobile crashes on some roads by nearly 75 percent using a simple optical illusion. But stripes, called chevrons(人字形), painted on the roads make drivers think that they are driving faster than they really are, and thus drivers slow down.Now the American Automobile Association Foundation(基金会) for Traffic Safety in Washington D.Cis planning to repeat Japans success. Starting next year, the foundation will paint chevrons and other patterns of stripes on selected roads around the country to test how well the patterns reduce highway crashes.Excessive (too great) speed plays a major role in as much as one fifth of all fatal traffic accidents, according to the foundation. To help reduce those accidents, the foundation will conduct its tests in areas where speed-related hazards (danger) are the greatest curves, exit slopes, traffic circles, and bridges.Some studies suggest that straight, horizontal bars painted across roads can initially cut the average speed of drivers in half. However, traffic often returns to full speed within months as drivers become used to seeing the painted bars.Chevrons, scientists say, not only give drivers the impression that they are driving faster than they really are but also make a lane appear to be narrower. The result is a longer lasting reduction in highway speed and the number of traffic accidents.66The passage mainly discusses _.Aa new way of highway speed controlBa new pattern for painting highwaysCa new way of training driversDa new type of optical illusion67On roads painted with chevrons, drivers tend to feel that _.Athey should avoid speed-related hazardsBthey are driving in the wrong lane Cthey should slow down their speedDthey are coming near to the speed limit68The advantage of chevrons over straight, horizontal bars is that the former _.Acan keep drivers awakeBcan cut road accidents in half Cwill look more attractiveDwill have a longer effect on drivers69The American Automobile Association Foundation for Traffic Safety plans to _.Atry out the Japanese method in certain areas Bchange the road signs ac
