why not look inside? many of us try hard to change our body, but in vain. we have to find a way to live comfortably inside our body and make friends with and cherish ourselves. when we change our attitudes toward ourselves, the whole world changes.1. the passage seems to emphasize the importance of .a. body size b. attitudes toward life c. cultural differences d. different beauty standards答案解析：答案为b。本题考查文章的主旨大意。文章前面的内容介绍了作者减肥的痛苦思想经历，最后一段最后一句话点出了文章的中心 “when we change our attitudes toward ourselves, the whole world changes.” 作者认为当我们改变对我们自己的态度后，整个世界就变了，因此本文在强调生活的态度，故答案为b。2. what does the underlined part “in vain” in the last paragraph mean?a. without success. b. without purpose. c. in doubt. d. in trouble.答案解析：答案为a。本题为词义猜测题。由划线部分所在的语境 “many of us try hard to change our body, but in vain.”可知，“but”后的意思应该与前面的“很多人努力地去改变身体”意思相反，因此“in vain”的意思最有可能是“没有成功”，故答案为a。3. what can be inferred about the author?a. the author is a samoan.b. the author succeeded in losing weight.c. the author has been troubled by her / his weight.d. the author probably got wounded in wars or accidents.答案解析：答案为c。本题为推理题。由第一段第一句话 “for many years, i was convinced that my suffering was due to my size.”可知，很多年以来，作者相信他/她的痛苦是因为自身的身材肥胖，因此可以推断作者很多年都受到体重的困扰，故答案为c。由最后一段首句 “it took me a long while to realize that there was something more for me to learn about beauty.”可知，作者花了很长时间才意识到关于美还有很多的要学习，因此作者减肥并不成功，故干扰项最强的b选项“作者成功减肥了”错误。4. according to the author, what is the common view of those who have lost some weight first and gained it back later?a. they feel angry about the regained weight.b. they pay little attention to the regained weight.c. they feel optimistic about future plans on weight control.d. they think they should give up their future plans on weight control.答案解析：答案为c。本题为推理题。由倒数第二段内容可知，很多人减肥后还是长胖，即使如此，他们仍然相信下次一定会有所不同，能够变得更瘦，这就是许多人的自我安慰，从而保持快乐。可以推断，那些减肥的人对他们的减肥计划感到非常乐观，故答案为c。 社会生活类阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，从每题所给的a、b、c、d四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。sometimes people call each other “scaredy-cat”, but have you ever thought about this expression? when a cat is frightened, its heart starts beating faster, its muscles get tense, and there are changes in the chemicals in its blood-stream. although the cat doesnt realize this, its body is getting ready for action. if the danger continues, this animal will do one of the two things. it will defend itself, or it will run away as fast as it can. something like this also happens to people. when we are excited, angry, scared, or aroused by other emotions, our bodies go through many physical changes. our hearts beat faster, and our muscles get tense. all of these changes make us more alert and ready to react. we, too, get ready to defend ourselves or run. human beings, however, have a problem that animals never face. if we give way to our feelings, we can get into trouble. have you ever said something in angeror hit somebody and regretted it later? have you ever shouted at a teacher, told somebody you were lonely, or said you were in love, and then wished later you had kept your mouth shut? it isnt always wise to express your feelings freely. does this mean that its smarter always to hide our feeling? no!if you keep feelings of anger, sadness, and bitterness hidden away or bottled up inside, your body stays tense. physical illnesses can develop, and you can feel churned up inside. it can actually be bad for your health. feeling that you keep all bottled up inside dont just go away. its as if you bought some bananas and stuck them in a cupboard. you might not be able to see them, but before long youd smell them. and if you open the cupboard, chances are youd see little fruit flies hovering all over them. theyd be rotten. you can try to treat emotions as if they were bananas in the cupboard, you can hide them and you can pretend they dont exist, but theyll still be around. and at last youll have to deal with them, just like those bananas. 1. it is mentioned in the passage that human beings get into trouble because they_.a. are not as alert as animalsb. sometimes cant control their feelingsc. always do something wrong to other peopled. dont pay attention to their physical changes2. the underlined words “churned up”in the 5th paragraph mean “”.a. very shocked b. beaten heavilyc. very frightened d. disturbed badly3. the author wants to tell us in the last two paragraphs that_.a. youll not completely get away from your feelingsb. you should treat emotions as bananas in a cupboardc. feeling will gradually disappear when you hold them ind. it is good for your health to keep pleasant feelings inside4. the author writes this article in order to_.a. tell us that it isnt good to keep feelings insideb. give us some advice on how to express our feelingsc. make us deal with feelings in a wise wayd. make us know that it isnt always wise to express our feelings freely【参考答案】29.bdac 阅读理解-breading poems is not exactly an everyday activity for most people. in fact, many people never read a poem once they get out of high school.it is worth reminding ourselves that this has not always been the case in america. in the nineteenth century, a usual american activity was to sit around the fireside in the evening and read poems aloud. it is true that there was no television at the time, nor movie theaters, nor world wide web, to provide diversion. however, poems were a source of pleasure, of self-education, of connection to other people or to the world beyond ones own community. reading them was a social act as well as an individual one, and perhaps even more social than individual. writing poems to share with friends and relations was, like reading poems by the fireside, another way in which poetry has a place in everyday life.how did things change? why are most americans no longer comfortable with poetry, and why do most people today think that a poem has nothing to tell them and that they can do well without poems?there are, i believe, three culprits(肇事者)：poets, teachers, and we ourselves. of these, the least important is the third: the world surrounding the poem has betrayed us more than we have betrayed the poem. early in the twentieth century, poetry in english headed into directions unfavorable to the reading of poetry. readers decided that poems were not for the fireside or the easy chair at night, that they belonged where other difficult-to-read things belonged.poets failed the reader, so did teachers. they want their students to know something about the skills of a poem, they want their students to see that poems mean something. yet what usually occurs when teachers push these concerns on their high school students is that young people decide poems are unpleasant crossword puzzles.1. reading poems is thought to be a social act in the nineteenth century because .a. it built a link among peopleb. it helped unite a communityc. it was a source of self-educationd. it was a source of pleasure答案解析：答案为a。本题为细节题。由第二段 “reading them was a social act as well as an individual one, and perhaps even more social than individual. writing poems to share with friends and relations was, .”可知，在十九世纪读诗是一种社会行为，因为人们读诗写诗都是和朋友以及与自己有关的人分享，也就是说读诗在人们之间建立起一种联系，故答案为a。2. the underlined word “diversion”(in paragraph 2) most probably means “ ”.a. concentrationb. changec. amusementsd. stories答案解析：答案为
