its difficult to make that decision when youve never experienced life on the other side, but ive lived in the city and in the country, and although a perfect place on this planet doesnt exist, i now appreciate city life more than ever before.i lived in a city as a child. it wasnt as busy as chicago, but all of the conveniences of city life were within easy reach, and when visiting my cousin who lived in the country, i was very envious. it was fun to play in the pinewoods, the property was vast, the air was fresh, and country life was something i longed for. the grass literally was greener on the other side. at that time i vowed to live in the country when i grew up so that i would eventually get a good dose of what it was like to live in the country, away from amenities of city life and luxuries i had taken for granted as child. this was the dream of a child, but not of an adult with responsibilities and realistic prospects.26.from the passage we know that when he was a child, the writer lived .a. in a green city b. a busy life c.in an ordinary city d. in chicago27.the saying “the grass is always greener on the other side” means that .a. whatever you have in your life, what someone else has always looks betterb. many people are not used to the belongings he ownsc. many people tend to make an objective judgment of their future lifed.many people are longing for a better life or a better job28.the main idea of the last paragraph is .a. why i hated living in a city as a child b. how i longed for country life as a childc. that a responsible man should not live in the country d. that it is convenient to live in a city29.what may the writer talk about mostly in the paragraphs following the last?a. the advantages of country life. b. the disadvantages of country life.c. the advantages of city life. d. the disadvantages of city life.30.what is the authors real attitude toward living in a city?a. critical. b. negative. c. uninterested. d. positive.battractive fathers do not pass their looks on to their sons but they will hand their good looks down to their daughters, research shows.in a study of family photographs, psychologists professor david perrett and elisabeth cornwell at the university of colorado have found that while both father and mother can influence the attractiveness of their daughters, the couples good looks do not necessarily contribute to the attractiveness of their son as an adult.handsome men with masculine (男子气概的) looks are likely to pass on masculine features, but not facial attractiveness. the theory suggests it is not unusual for attractive parents to produce a beautiful daughter while failing to pass on the same good looks to a son. while many celebrity mothers produce stunning (极为出色的) daughters such as goldie hawn and her daughter kate hudson or jerry hall and her daughter georgia the same is not necessarily true of celebrity fathers. sean stewart, the son of rod stewart and his first wife alana, would probably be judged less attractive than his model sister kimberly.“we cant see a strong relationship between the parents attractiveness and the sons. if the parents are supermodels, the chances are the daughters will be lookers,” perrett said. prof perrett said it has previously been suggested that a woman could increase her own reproductive success by choosing a “sexy” mate whose genes would be passed on to male descendants (后代).but a new study, published in the current edition of the journal animal behaviour, disagrees with the theory. the researchers said: “when we looked at womens faces, we found clear evidence that attractiveness passed from both father and mother to daughter. for the male line, we find that facial masculinity matched the rule like father, like son. but we did not find any evidence that facial attractiveness is passed from father to son.”31. according to paragraph 2, professor perrett believes that . a. only attractive fathers can have beautiful daughters b. only attractive mothers can have beautiful daughters c.both attractive parents can have beautiful daughters d. both attractive parents can have handsome sons32. from paragraph 5 we learn that . a.neither goldie hawn nor jerry hall is a famous mother b. neither kate hudson nor georgia is beautiful c. sean stewart is as attractive as his father d. kimberly is more attractive than sean stewart33. the underlined word lookers in paragraph 6 can be replaced by “ ”. a. successful people b. beautiful people c. famous people d. lucky people34. which of the following statements can be drawn from the last paragraph? a. masculine dads have masculine sons. b. sons usually behave the same way as their fathers. c. mothers have more influence on their children than fathers. d. daughters characters are easily influenced by their parents.35. whats the best title for this passage? a. an important research on human genes b.famous mothers produce beautiful daughters c. parentsattractiveness influences their children d. attractive fathers do not pass their looks on to their sonscthroughout the world, clothing has many uses. it is used to provide protection from the elements. it also is worn to prevent others from seeing specific parts of ones body. however, the parts of the body that must be covered vary widely throughout the world. some clothing is worn to provide supernatural protection. wearing a lucky shirt to take an exam is calling for supernatural assistance.people in all cultures use clothing and other forms of bodily decoration to communicate status, intentions and other messages. in north america, we dress differently for business and various leisure activities. north american women usually are much more knowledgeable of and concerned with little difference in messages communicated by clothes than men. at times, this leads to silly mistakes of interpretation of female intentions on the part of men. of course, clothing styles also are intended to communicate messages to members of the same gender（性别）. long before we are near enough to talk to someone, their appearance tells their gender, age, economic class, and often even intentions. we begin to recognize the important cultural clues at an early age. the vocabulary of dress that we learn includes not only items of clothing but also hairstyles, jewelry, and other body decoration. in most cultures, however, the same style of dress communicates different messages depending on the age, gender, and physical appearance of the individual wearing it.putting on certain types of clothing can change your behavior and the behavior of others towards you. this can be the case with a doctors white lab coat, or an army uniform. most uniforms are clearly symbolic so that they can rapidly and unmistakably communicate status. for instance, the strange hairstyle and clothing of the english “punks” are essential aspects of their uniforms.there are many forms of body decoration other than clothes that are used around the world to send messages. these include body and hair paint, and even body deformation. when doctors put braces on teeth, they are actually doing the same thing deforming or reforming a part of the body to make it more attractive. 36. which of the following is the best title for this passage? a. clothing and culture b. communication through clothing c. clothing and social behavior d. ways of sending message37. some people wear lucky shirts to take an exam because they believe . a. clothes have extraordinary power b. clothes can hide their fear for the exam c. shirts can make them more comfortable d. shirts provide protection against bad weather38. in north america, men sometimes misunderstand womens intention because . a. men are more careless than women b. women spend more time on their clothes c. men care less about the different messages communicated by clothes d. men and women have different views on clothing styles39. from the passage, it can be inferred that . a. messages communicated by clothes are the same in different cultures b. words of dress are not enough to communicate different messages c. dress is better than language in communicating messages d. clothing plays an important role in social activities40. according to the passage, the behavior of others towards you can be changed by your . a. age b. dress c. status d. behaviordwhen the grapes of wrath (愤怒) was published on march 14, 1939, it created a national sensation (轰动) for its description of the destructive effects of the great depression (大萧条) of the 1930s. by the end of april, it was selling 2,500 copies a day a remarkable number considering the hard economic times. in may, the novel was a number-one best-seller, selling at a rate of 10,000 copies a week. by the end of 1939, close to a half million copies had been sold. john steinbeck was shocked by the tremendous response to his novel. almost overnight, he found himself involved in a great national debate over the migrant labor problem. many people were shocked by the poverty and hopelessness of the story, and others denied that such circumstances could happen in america. even people who had never read a book before bought a copy of the grapes of wrath. at $2.75 per copy, it was affordable and quickly sold out. however it was banned and burned in buffalo, new york; east saint louis, illinois; and kern county, california, where much of the novel is set. in fact, the novel remains one of the most frequently banned books in the united states. the book was criticized sharply in congress by representative lyle boren of oklahoma, who called the novels description of migrant living conditions a lie. charges were made that “obscenity” (淫秽) had been included in the book in large part to sell more copies. eventually, first lady eleanor roosevelt stepped in to praise the book and defend steinbeck against his critics. in 1940, the novel won the pulitzer prize. the popularity of the novel has endured. it is estimated that it has sold fifteen million copies since its publication. for almost sixty years, steinbecks novel has been a classic in american literature; it has been translated into several languages, including french, german, and japanese. the grapes of wrath has also been a necessary part of the school curriculum in america since the end of world war ii.41. what does the underlined word “tremendous” probably mean?
