Although normal people don't care that much, subconsciously they might prefer a “clean" face. Generally speaking, freckles arc more likely to appear if people are out in the sun frequently, and most East Asian women avoid the sun as best they can.Having freckles, instead, is a trademark for unconventional beauty in the Western world, andsome call freckles uangel kisses”. For most westerners, having freckles is no longer just something you have to live with; instead, it is something to be desired. After all, not everyone is lucky enough to have freckles.When it comes to eye shapes, it seems Western and Chinese beauty standards don't see cyc-to-cyc. Many Chinese think girls with big eyes arc the most beautiful. If their eyes have a double-fbld eyelid, that is considered perfect. However, most foreigners seem to prefer Chinese girls with slanted （斜的）and narrow eyes and eyebrows. Chinese known model Lyv Yan is often considered the country's most beautiful by foreigners, while quite a few Chinese people think her appearance doesn't fit with traditional beauty standards.Young, girly feature or hot and mature feature? Zhao Liying from China, AragakiYui from Japan and Lim Yoon-A from South Korea enjoy high popularity in Asia, as they boast bright faces with warm smiles, which win them lots of male fans. The three young celebrities represent Asia's beauty standards: women with cute, girly features. Most women in Asia try their best to stay young accordingly. Unlike Chinese girls, Western girls think a more mature look shows independence and uniqueness. The superhero Wonder Woman is an ideal type for most.As ties continue to grow between China and the West, it is unavoidable that these beauty standards develop. But one thing's fbr sure-no matter how you look, you are who you are, and that should be satisfaction enough.24What do most western people think of having freckles?A. It is something unbearable.B. It is a destructive weakness.C. It is something to wish fbr.D. It is a symbol of traditional beauty.' mean in Paragraph 4?B. Recognize their strengths.D. Argue against one another.B.

They hope to have high popularity in Asia, much.27. What does the text mainly talk about?A. What Zara's beauty standard is.C.

The study, published in Frontiers in Psychology, tested the ability of four pigs （Hamlet, Omelette, Ebony and Ivory） to play a simple joystick （操纵杆）game with their noses, moving a cursor （光标）to four targets on the screen. Although the animals didn't demonstrate the skills to win a round any time, they did show an understanding of some elementary games. Performing well not by chance, the pigs appeared to recognize the movement of the cursor was controlled by the joystick. The fact that they did so well despite a lack of flexible fingers is “extraordinary”, according to the researchers.“It is no small achievement for an animal to grasp the concept that the behaviour they arc performing is having an effect elsewhere. That pigs can do this to any degree should give us pause as to what else they are capable of learning and how such learning may impact them, “said Purdue University's Dr Candace Croncy, the study's lead author.Researchers also noted that while the pigs could be taught to play the game using food as positive motivation, they also responded well to social interaction. In fact, when the game was made more challenging and the pigs became unwilling to participate in it, “only oral encouragement by the experimenter” would see training continue.These findings are the latest to highlight the intelligence of pigs. Not only have they been shown to use mirrors to find hidden food, but studies have also demonstrated how pigs can be taught to “come" and “sit" after oral commands.As with any sentient （有感觉力的）beings, how we interact with pigs and what we do to them impacts and matters to them. We therefore have a moral duty to understand how pigs acquire information, and what they are capable of learning and remembering, because it ultimately offers the potential fbr how they understand their interactions with us and their environments.28. What can be learned from Paragraph 1?A. The pigs sometimes won the video games.B. The pigs operated joysticks with their noses.C. The pigs competed with each other in the games.D. The pigs sometimes performed well accidentally.29. What docs the underlined phrase “give us pause” refer to?A. Stop us from advancing.B.Affect us in learning.C. Make us think seriously.D.Forceus to train pigs better.30. What made researchers believe pigs socially interacted well?A. Their being inspired by human words.B.Theirbeing driven by food.C. Their being willing to keep trying.D.Theirbeing motivated by challenges.31. Which of the following could be the best title?A. Smart Pigs: Best Animal PlayersB. Flexible Noses: Fun GamesC. Oral Commands: Pig LearnersD. Pig Players: Learning PotentialDThe term “Metaverse” （元宇宙）is （he latest buzzword （流行语）to capture the tech industry's imagination so much so that one of the best-known internet platforms is rebranding to signalits embrace of the futuristic idea.Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg's announcement that he's changing his company's name to Meta Platforms Inc. might be the biggest thing to happen to the metaverse since science fiction writer Neal Stephenson coined the term fbr his 1992 novel “Snow Crash''. But Zuckerberg and his team are hardly （he only tech visionaries with ideas on how the meta verse, which will employ a mix of virtual reality and other technologies, should take shape.What is the metaverse? Zuckerberg has described it as a “virtual environment“ you can go inside of instead ofjust looking at on a screen. Essentially, it's a world of endless, interconnected virtual communities where people can meet, work and play, using virtual reality headsets and glasses, smartphone or other devices. The metaverse also could be a game -changer for the work-from-home shift amid （he coronavirus pandemic. Instead of seeing co-workers on a video call, employees could join them in a virtual office.Zuckerberg's embrace of the metaverse in some ways contradicts a central tenet （信条）of its biggest enthusiasts. They envision the metaverse as online culture's liberation from tech platforms like Facebook that assumed ownership of people's accounts, photos, posts and traded off what they collected from that data. uWe want to be able to move around the internet with ease, but we also want to be able to move around the/Intemet in a way we're not tracked and monitored," said Steve Jang, who focuses on cryptocurrency （数字货 币）technology. There is a growing concern about Facebook trying to lead the way into a virtual world （hatcould require even more personal data and offer greater potential fbr abuse and misinformation when it hasn't fixed those problems in its current platforms.32. Why is Zuckerberg changing the name of his company?A. Because he plans to quit his present business.B. Because he has founded themetaverse.C. Because he will engage in the metaverse.D. Because he wants to draw publicattention.33. What can be inferred about the central belief of Meta verse fans?A. Users should be responsible for their personal data.B. Cryptocurrency technology should be monitored. C. Tech platforms should possess users' data.D. TheMetaverse should be tracked.34. What can people do in the Metaverse?A. Do everything in the real world.B. Have meetings in the virtual office.C. Defeat the pandemic.D. See co-workers on a video-call.35. What do some people think of Zuckerberg's decision?A. Facebook will gain people's trust.B. Facebook will make the internet a betterworld.C. Facebook may not abuse information.D. Facebook may not play a good leading role.第二节（共5小题；每题2.5分，总分值12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最正确选项。选项中有两项为多余选 项。Have you ever gone to a museum or a show and been completely blown away by a piece?
