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 unnecessary to know the meaning of beauty.答案：C推理判断题 。根据第一段“.selfknowledge is the most important beauty secret.”可知，人的自知之明是美丽的最重要秘诀。由此推之，正确评价自己很重要。2What does the example in the second paragraph 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。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。【广东省2012届高三考前冲刺卷(六)】AWhen doctors urge overweight kids to pick up more activities，reading probably isnt what they have in mind.Yet a new study by fatness researchers at Duke University finds that the simple act of readingdepending on the choice of materialcan cause weight loss in teenage girls.The studys experimental group included 31 fat girls aged 9 to 13，who took part in the Healthy Lifestyles Program at Duke Childrens Hospital.The girls read a novel called Lake Rescue，whose protagonist (主人公) is an overweight teenager who struggles with low selfesteem，feelings of loneliness and teasing because of her size.A group of 33 girls read a different book called Charlotte in Paris，which did not have an overweight character，and another group of 17 girls read neither book.At the end of the sixmonth experiment，all the girls who read books had lost weight，but the girls who read Lake Rescue lost more.They lowered their body mass index (BMI) by 0.71，compared with 0.33 in the Charlotte group，an average 0.05 increase among the nonreaders.The idea behind the study，says Dr Sarah Armstrong，director of Healthy Lifestyles，was to find a way to encourage the girls without adopting the restrictive and often authoritative voice of so many other nutrition and diet programs.Lake Rescue was the perfect instrument，says Armstrong；it presents a likable character to whom the girls could relate and whom they could learn from.As the book progresses，its protagonist learns to make healthier lifestyle choices and finds an advisor to help keep her on track.Armstrong says，“She learns that she can become healthier，and the I can do itfeeling resonates (产生共鸣) with the teenage girls.”26Whats the main idea of the passage?AThere are different ways to help overweight kids lose weight.BLifestyle is important for kids.CLake Rescue is the perfect weightlosing instrument.DReading can help kids lose weight.27How many girls took part in the experiment?

BEntertainment.CHealth. DAdvertisement.26D主旨大意题。由本文的主题段，即第一段可知本文的主旨，即“阅读可以帮助儿童减肥”。27D细节理解题。根据第二段计算可知，31331781。28B词义猜测题。根据“the I can do itfeeling resonates with the teenage girls”可知女孩们与之产生共鸣，故前句中的She指的是Lake Rescue中的主人公。29C推理判断题。根据本文中的实验可知，不同的阅读材料对减肥产生了不同效果，故C项正确。30C推理判断题。通过本文的主旨大意可以推断出本文属于健康方面的内容。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。【2013界广东省三模】 Most recently, its very common in students who need a parent present for job interviews.

As the mother of two young sons, I have to remind myself constantly that the biggest responsibility I have as a parent is to help them develop the skills needed to live in, to live without me.

BAnimals.COld rats. DGrownup rats.33What can protect the brain of a woman according to the passage?AEstrogen.BThe hormones of pregnancy.CMore exercise.DTaking care of children.34“Its rats data but humans are mammals just like these animals are mammals.” What does the sentence suggest?AThe experiments on the rats have nothing to do with humans.BThe experiments on the rats are very important for animals.CThe experiments on the rats are much the same on humans.DThe experiments on the rats are much the same on other animals.35Which title is the best for this passage?ADo You Want to Be SmarterBMotherhood Makes Women SmarterCMysterious HormonesDAn Important Study31C细节理解题。根据“Tests on rats show.”可知科学家是通过做老鼠实验得出这个结论的。32A词义猜测题。后面的对比who have no baby，实际上提供了一个相反的情况，所以我们可以推测“those who raise two or more litters of pups”中的“litters of pups”指的是“刚出生不久的小老鼠”。33B细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“.the hormones of pregnancy(怀孕) are protecting the brain.”可得出答案。34C句意理解题。科学家通过用老鼠做实验来说明人的问题。因为人和老鼠都属于哺乳动物，很多生理机能都相同。35B主旨大意题。短文第一句“Motherhood may make women smarter.”是主题句，据此我们可以得出答案。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。 【2013界广东省湛江市二模】-AThe baby elephant Ishanga was lying in the bushes, scared, starving, and struggling to breathe. Until just a few days before, she had been with her mother, walking through the sweeping grasslands of Tsavo National Park in the African country of Kenya.The babys mother was killed, most likely by a poacher. On Wednesday, November 17，2010， an anti-poaching team was removing the deadly wire traps that poachers set throughout the park. Luckily, a member of the team spotted the baby and rushed to help her.Suddenly, a lion sprang from the bushes and clamped its mouth around her neck. One person managed to pull out his gun and fire shots in the air. The shocked lion released the baby and backed away.Now the weakened baby had a grave wound on her neck. About 300 miles north of Tsavo is a place that helps baby elephants. Over the years, the orphanage(孤儿院）has raised 130 elephants and successfully released them back into the wild.After a tense wait and a plane ride, the babys rescuers made it to the orphanage. The medical staff worked frantically to treat her wound. She was scared and wild. She screamed, and wouldnt let any humans get near her, refusing to eat or drink.After two hours of intense medical care, Ishanga awoke and slowly struggled to her feet. Two keepers and a veterinarian had been with her all night. They were relieved that she seemed to be recovering.The next day, though Ishanga remained weak, her keepers introduced her to some of the other 14 young elephants living at the orphanage. The keepers stood back as the other elephants extended their trunk in friendly greetings. The older elephants led Ishanga around, giving her a tour of her new home.Over the past year, Ishangas wounds have healed. She has made many friends. Itll be up to Ishanga to decide when shes ready to leave the orphanage. Returning to the wild is a long process that can take more than 10 years. For now, she is in no rush to leav
