Together they eat in the finest restaurants, traveling everywhere around the world by luxurious planes and pleasure ships. They are models.    Do you envy them? What sort of life are models leading? Is it a wonderful life for a young lady or a young man?    A few models are well-known actors or actresses who can make a lot of money only by showing themselves off in commercials. But the majority of them are just curious to see what it is like. Theyd like to be models just because they are attracted by what they imaginemodels earn a lot of money and lead a glorious life. This is true for those who are very successful. However, most models find it difficult to get work. Very few can earn enough to live on, and for all models their expenses are high. Their agents claim about 20% of the earnings, and no model will get very far without a clever agent. Besides, they have to buy good clothing. They also have to pay to travel to interviews and reach the places where the work is to be done.    Interviews for a model job are known as cattle-markets in the modeling world, and not without a good reason. A top model can choose his or her work, demand and receive high fees and has his or her expenses paid. But for most models, the situation is quite different. And agent or employer inspects each model much as a farmer inspects cattle at a market. Intelligence, qualifications and personal characteristics count for little against good looks and tight figures. For all except the very few lucky ones, the life of a model is a continual search for work, trying to sell himself or herself in the face of fierce competition and, sometimes, not particularly moral standards on the part of some employers.    Immigration officials at airport look suspiciously at a girl whose passport shows her occupation as “Model”, and these are men and women of considerable experience of the world. It comes no surprise to find that some models prefer to put “Secretary” or “Businessman” as their jobs in their passports.    Modeling is a changeable world with great rewards for a tiny minority but not for the majority.26.For models, their good looks and tight figures are             , compared with their intelligence and qualifications.A.more important B.less neededC.less essential D.more looked down upon27.Which of the following can lead you to believe according to the passage?A.A models traveling expenses are usually paid by his employer.B.To be a model, good looks are the most important qualification.C.Most models have a fairly easy way of life with high pay.D.A model can hardly be successful without a good agent.28.Models often put “Secretary” or “Businessman” instead of “Model” in their passports because             .A.they want to avoid being stopped to sign their names by fansB.a person with the occupation of a model is easily attacked by black societiesC.models are sometimes looked down uponD.secretaries and businessmen are free of custom duty29.What may be the authors attitude towards modeling?A.It is a worthwhile life for a young lady or a young man.B.He is in favour of young people to try modeling.C.Before being crazy about a model job, young people should be aware of the difficulties.D.It is a field in which everyone has a great chance to succeed.30.The underlined word “suspiciously” can most probably be replaced by             .A.doubtfully B.excitedlyC.proudly D.sadlyCA year ago, I paid no attention to English idioms, though my teacher emphasized(强调) the importance again and again. But soon, the importance of English idioms was shown in an amusing experience.One day, I happened to meet an Englishman on the road, and soon we began to talk. As I was talking about how I was studying English, the foreigner seemed to be astonished. Gently shaking his head, shrugging his shoulders, he said, “You dont say!” “You dont say!” I was puzzled. I thought, perhaps this is not an appropriate topic(适当的话题). “Well, Id better change the topic.” So I said to him. “Well, shall we talk about the Great Wall? By the way, have you ever been there?” “Certainly, everyone back home will laugh at me if I leave China without seeing it. It was magnificent.” He was deep in thought when I began to talk like a tourist guide. “The Great Wall is one of the wonders in the world. We are very proud of it.” Soon I was interrupted again by his words:“You dont say!” I couldnt help asking, “Why do you ask me not to talk about it?” “Well, I didnt request you to do so, ” he answered, greatly surprised. I said, “Didnt you say you dont say?” Hearing this, the Englishman laughed to tears. He began to explain, You dont say actually means really! It is an expression of surprise. Perhaps you dont pay attention to English idioms.” Only then did I know I had made a fool of myself. Since then I have been more careful with idiomatic expressions. Remember: what the English teachers said is always right to us students. 31:A year ago, I paid no attention to English idioms because _.A.English idioms were not importantB.I was not careful with English idiomsC.my teacher didnt emphasize the importance of themD.I had no interest in them32:At first, on hearing “You dont say,” I thought the foreigner meant _.A.he was not interested in the topicB.he was only interested in the Great WallC.I had talked too muchD.I had to stop talking33:The underlined word in the first paragraph probably means _.A.interestingB.importantC.terribleD.unlucky34:Which of the following is true according to the passage?A.The Englishman left China without seeing the Great Wall.B.The Englishman wanted to see the Great Wall after I talked about it.C.The Englishman wanted me to act as his guide.D.The Englishman visited the Great Wall and thought it worth visiting.35:After the Englishman explained the idiom, _.A.I thought the Englishman had made me a foolB.the Englishman became a real fool.C.I felt very sillyD.I became more carefully in everything 三、七选五10、根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 A major source of teen stress is school exams, and test anxiety is not uncommon.
