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 attracdtive 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.【解题导语】 美丽一定是优点吗？也不尽然。对于美丽的管理阶层女性，她们的美就可以成为她们职场打拼的一大负担。11the underlined word “liability”(paral) most probably means_.adisadvantage

that weve told this exact tale before，to the person were boring with it now.why do we make such memory mistakes?according to research published in psychological science，it may have to do with the way our brains process different types of memory.researchers nigel gopie，of the rotman research institute in toronto，and colin macleod，of the university of waterloo，divided memory into two kinds.the first was source memory，or the ability to keep track of where information is coming from.the second was destination memory，or the ability to recall whom we have given information to.they found that source memory functions better than destination memory，in part because of the direction in which that information is travelling.to study the differences between source and destination memory，the researchers did an experiment on 60 university students，according to a new york times report.the students were asked to associate 50 random(随意的)facts with the faces of 50 famous people.half of the students “told”each fact to one of the faces，reading it aloud when the celebritys picture appeared on a computer screen.the other half read each fact silently and saw a different celebrity picture afterward.when later asked to recall which facts went with which faces，the students who were giving information out(destination memory)scored about 16 percent lower on memory performance compared with the students receiving information(source memory)the researchers concluded that outgoing information was less associated with its environmental context(背景)that is，the personthan incoming information.this makes sense given what is known about attention.a person who is giving information ever little facts，will devote some mental resources to thinking about what is being said.because our attention is finite (有限的)，we give less attention to the person we are giving information to.after a second experiment with another group of 40 students，the researchers concluded that selffocus is another factor that undermines destination memory.they asked half the students to continue giving out random information，while the other told things about themselves.this time around，those who were talking about themselves did 15 percent worse than those giving random information.“when you start telling these personal facts compared with nonself facts，suddenly destination memory goes down more，suggesting that it is the selffocus component(成分)thats reducing the memory，”gopie told live science.【解题导语】 文章通过两个实验向我们介绍了对于两种信息记忆效果的不同及其原因。16the point of this article is to_.agive advice on how to improve memorybtell what causes the memory to worsencexplain why we repeat stories to the same persondintroduce different kinds of memories解析主旨大意题。由文章的结构可以看出，全文就是在回答“why do we make such memory mistakes？”的。而“such memory mistakes”就是选项中所说的we repeat stories to the same person，故c项正确。答案c17those who read each fact silently and saw a different celebrity picture afterwards_.acan memorize more informationbhave worse memorycare more likely to repeat storiesdpaid more attention to themselves解析细节理解题。倒数第六段对接受两种信息的实验对象进行了比较，由此可以得出答案。答案a18the person who is giving information_.amay receive little factsbfocuses more on what he is sayingchas finite attentiondpays much attention to his own behavior解析细节理解题。由倒数第四段“a person who is giving information even little facts，will devote some mental resources to thinking about what is being said”可知答案。答案b19the underlined word “undermines”probably means_.aweakens bbenefits cexplains dsupports解析词义猜测题。这是对第二次实验的总结，由倒数第二段的最后一句话“worse”可知该词的意思，和weaken同义。答案a20what did the scientists conclude from the second experiment?adestination memory is weaker than source memory.bfocusing attention on oneself leads to relatively poor source memory performance.cassociating personal experience with information helps people memorize better.dselffocus is responsible for giving information twice or more to the same person.解析细节理解题。由倒数第三段“the researchers concluded that selffocus is another factor that undermines destination memory.”可知答案。答案d时间：30分钟.完形填空(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从各题所给的a、b、c和d项中，选出最佳选项。it has been thought and said that africans are born with musical talent.because music is so important in the lives

school，class or club.it is inevitable that they will knock on your door and you will easily hand over your cash for overpriced items that you really do not want.that is okay，though，because there are many reasons why children should be allowed to raise money for their schools and clubs.fundraising (募集资金)is a great way to help children learn social skills.it is not easy to go up to a complete stranger and ask them for their money.they have to nicely ask for help，show the interested buyer what they have to offer and explain how it will help them in school.if someone refuses to buy an item，that child has to take the failure in stride(不特别费力地)，and that is a learning lesson as well.students can learn how to deal with money by fundraising.of course，it might seem safer for us to take charge of our childrens earnings from their fundraising before it is turned into the school.however，by making them keep track of it，count it，and make sure everyone pays the right amount，they are learning an important lesson.dealing with money is important to know about when they are older.fundraising helps improve their schools.it is the childs school.they have to learn there and grow there.why not let them help in making it a better place？when one of our local schools lacked funding for sports，the students and parents joined hands to raise that money they needed.when they succeeded，they felt like they accomplished something important.fundraising allows for more life experiences for the child.most fundraising is done for individual classes and clubs.the raised money is used towards things like parties，trips，or for the music club to go see a broadway play.the children receive the rewards for their hard work at raising the money.without fundraising，these field trips and special school memories would be missed.in a word，fundraising helps children a lot in many ways.【解题导语】 本文为议论文。作者认为学生应该被允许募集资金，以改善办学条件，筹措活动经费，同时也可以培养学生的社交能力，提高他们的理财水平。26we can infer that the author
