for you to know that self knowledge(自知之明)is the most important beauty secret.dont hate yourself for wanting to be beautiful.goodlooking people get special treatment from strangers，employers and even their own mothers.were not even close to our objective when it comes to judging our own looks.other people see the whole package.but when we look in the mirror，were likely to pay attention to imperfections.for example, that bump(凸起)on your friends nose. its her feature！it gives her character！but to you，that thing on your nose is completely ugly.our opinions of our own looks are also changeable.so if we cant trust the judgment of ourselves，or the words of friends and family which can take away our doubts，were left to the cool judgment of strangers to satisfy our curiosity about our appearances.the website“hot or not”，which lets people hand their photos in for others to judge，had nearly 2 million daily page views within a week in 2000.but its not the best way to improve the judgment of yourself because you have no confidence yet in your mind.everyone may pay too much attention to his or her own appearance，and at the same time worry about being criticized.if you are particularly attentive to your body，or if you feel uncomfortable in public，you are certainly hotter than you think.and we all have the ability to change how other people judge us without changing our looks.when you believe that you look good，others will see you in a more favorable way.improve your impression from the inside.understanding your own advantages can help you stop worrying about your appearance and look better.1what can we infer from the first paragraph?awe should focus on our advantages.bdont be cheated by others praise.cjudging oneself in a right way is important.dits

suggest?agoodlooking people are more popular than ordinary ones.bsome badlooking people are afraid to look in the mirror.csome people judge one by his appearance simply.dsometimes we make our own imperfections bigger.答案：d推理判断题。根据第二段“that bump on your friends nose. its her feature！it gives her character！but to you，that thing on your nose is completely ugly.our opinions of our own looks are also changeable.”可知，“你”可能认为朋友鼻子上的凸起是她的特色，赋予她个性。而如果在自己身上，就会看起来很丑陋。由此推断，有时我们把自身的瑕疵放大了。3“hot or not”_ais a website which allows others to comment on your characterbcant change your ideas completely unless youre confidentcis a good way to make friends and makes you popular onlinedcan satisfy ones curiosity about others secrets答案：b细节理解题。根据第三段“but its not the best way to improve the judgment of yourself because you have no confidence yet in your mind.”可知，这个网站不是提升“你”对自己评价的最好方法，因为在心里，“你”仍然没有自信。所以，除非“你”有自信，否则这个网站不能完全改变“你”的想法。4from the last paragraph we can learn_.ahanging our looks can make us more attractivebpeople shouldnt care about their own disadvantagescwe can make ourselves more beautiful in the minddits useless to pay attention to your appearance答案：c细节理解题。根据最后两句“improve your impression from the inside. understanding your own advantages can help you stop worrying about your appearance and look better.”可知，作者建议从内部提升“你”的形象。了解自身优势有助于“你”不再担忧自己的外表，从而(让自己)看起来更美。所以，“我们”可以从内心中把自己“武装得”更美。2016高考训练题。阅读理解。阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（a、b、c和d）中，选出最佳选项。on occasion, a memory came to my mind. my mother had a nice table with a single vase standing on it. the table, as i remember, was always in my family and i had to clean it as a child as my weekly housework. it was such a beautiful table that my mother was proud to have it in her living room. our family moved around a lot because my father, a spanish and hawaiian guitar teacher, needed to find new students as the old learned and left. we were never without food, fancy clothes or a house to live in. but, as i grew older, i knew why. my father would usually make enough money to buy us food and clothing, and deal with the doctor bills by paying out of his own pocket for a family of six. he was self-employed and had no medical coverage(医疗保险). through so many moves, my mother was the organizer of everything that needed to be done. dad was away at around one oclock each evening, so the major kid rearing(抚养), cooking and cleaning were all her work. i can also remember her sewing almost every night. my mom didnt take vacations. she didnt go out to buy fancy clothes for herself, and what she did buy was for her four children. as children, we cared about almost nothing. we didnt care about when the next money would come in. and, all through the years there sat a table with a vase on top. i sat back now and then and stared at that table. it was a reminder of what love was shown by my mother, what she suffered over the years, and what she gave to us, so we could have what we needed. and, her only valuable possession was the table with the vase on top.1. what did the author sometimes recall?a. having to clean the table weekly. b. putting a vase on the table weekly.c. his mothers vase lying on the table. d. his mothers table with a vase on it.2. what can we learn about the authors family?a. he supported his family by teaching

course, all of us will move through time in a roughly predictable pattern. in the first stage of our lives, we develop and grow, reaching toward the top of physical vitality (energy). after we grow up, however, the body begins a process of gradually wearing out. a new awareness of physical fitness may help lengthen our years of health and vitality, yet nothing we do will work to stop the unavoidable force of aging. most of the changes of aging take place deep inside the body. the lungs become less able to take in oxygen. powerful muscles gradually lose their strength. the heart loses power and pumps less blood. bones grow easier to break. finally, we meet a stress, a stress that is greater than our physical resistance. often, it is only a minor accident or chance infection (a disease caused by virus), but this time, it brings life to an end. in 1932, a classic experiment nearly doubled the lifetime of rats, simply by cutting back the calories (unit for measuring the energy value of food)in their diet. the reason for the effect was then unknown. today, at the university of california at berkley, dr. paul seagle has also greatly lengthened the normal lifetime of rats. the result was achieved through a special protein (蛋白质)limited diet, which had a great effect on the chemistry of the brain. seagle showed that within the brain, specific chemicals control many of the signals that influence aging. by changing that chemical balance, the clock of aging can be reset. for the first time, the mystery (something that is difficult to understand or to explain)of why we age is being seriously challenged. scientists in many fields are now making striking and far-reaching discoveries. an average lifetime lasts 75 years, yet in each of us lies a potential for a longer life. if we could keep the vitality and resistance to disease that we have at twenty, we would live for 800 years. 1. what does the underlined word “it”refer to? a. physical vitality.b. stress.c. aging.d. physical resistance. 2. the author believes the following except that _.a. humans life pattern is predictableb. physical fitness cant stop the force of agingc. humans lifetime will last longer than 75 yearsd. all of the changes of aging take place deep inside the body3. how did dr paul seagle lengthen the lifetime of rats in his experiment? a. by limiting the protein in their diet. b. by cutting the calories in their diet. c. by resetting their clock of aging. d. by keeping their physical fitness. 4. what is probably the best title for the article? a. two great experiments. b. the mystery of human life. c. ways to lengthen human life. d. the breakthrough in the study of aging. 【参考答案】14、bdad 阅读理解。阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (a、b、c和d) 中, 选出最佳选项。the renaissance，considered by modern scholars to have been
