I hadn'tthought makeup was meant for me, a disabled woman, until I saw Ulta's new advertisement: a huge full-colorphoto of a model in a wheelchair.The world of fashion and beauty is rarely related to disabilities, and even though Hollywood has made stepstoward greater inclusion and clothing brand Aerie has featured women with disabilities in their advertisements,3 seeing disabilities in the mainstream is definitely unusual. The reason why these things make headlines is thatthey're so rare.I learned from a very young age that because of my disability, I would never be connected with beauty orcharm. I'd spent so long feeling separated from so many parts of society, but Ulta is sending a powerful messagewith a single photo: It's time to challenge conventional beauty standards because beauty comes in all forms.We all want to feel included. When it comes to disabilities, it is so important, especially for children andteens with disabilities. I was well into my 30s when I rolled into a makeup store for the first time. I had no ideawhat I was doing and felt like entering a new world without a map; I felt like I was out of place, as if I waspeeking at a club without being invited. Imagine how my experience would have been different if I had seen amodel in a wheelchair, smiling, as if to say, “Welcome. Yes, you belong!”That message of inclusion was loud and clear for Maren Anderson, a 4-year-old girl who has a rare geneticdisease and just started using a wheelchair. The moment she spotted the advertisement was caught on camera byher mom Carolyn Anderson, and quickly spread last month on Facebook. “It's just really saying that she feelsincluded, and she feels like she identifies with that, and belongs here just like everybody else. So, thank you,Ulta,” said Carolyn Anderson.24What can be learned from paragraph 2?A. There will be more products for the disabled.B. Aerie is the author's favorite clothing brand.C. Hollywood works with Ulta to help the disabled.D. It's hard for the public to associate beauty with disabilities.5What does the author think of Ulta's new advertisement?A. It creates a new trend in the fashion world.2B. It makes society offer more jobs to the disabled.C. It helps make the disabled feel confident and involved.D. It breaks the barrier between the disabled and the able-bodied.6How did the author feel when she first stepped into the makeup store?22A. Nervous and embarrassed.C. Excited and proud.B. Sad and lonely.D. Lost and bored.7. Why is Maren Anderson's photo mentioned in the last paragraph?A. To expose the condition of the disabled.B. To show the effect of Ulta's advertisement.C. To emphasize the sense of belonging.D. To explore the contemporary beauty standards.CThe doors open wide, you enter，and they close behind you. As the elevator goes up, you realize its just youand one other person taking this ride. The silence soon grows uncomfortable. What's your go-to move? A) Stare atyour shoes. B) Pull out your cellphone. C) Make brief eye contact. D) Start a conversation.If your answer is B, you're like far too many of us, who tend to do just about anything to avoid conversationor even eye contact with strangers. And smartphones make it easier than ever to do that. But a body of researchhas shown that we might just be short-changing（亏待）our own happiness by ignoring opportunities to connectwith the people around us.Several years ago, psychologist Elizabeth Dunn and her colleague Gillian M. Sandstrom tested whether shortconversations with strangers could lift moods. They asked participants to enter a busy coffee shop and grab adrink-half would just get in and get out, and half would strike up a conversation with the waiter.“We found thatpeople who were randomly assigned to turn this economic behavior into a quick social interaction, left the coffeeshop in a better mood,” Dunn says. Why, if connecting with others makes us happy, do we so often avoid it?4 Social anxiety could be preventing these types of interactions, says behavioral scientist Nicholas Epley. Hisexperiments revealed that train and bus commuters （通勤者）who interacted with other passengers experienced amore pleasant ride-even when they believed they would prefer reading a book. It is fear that the person sitting nextto us won't enjoy talking to us that makes us keep to ourselves, Epley found.So,how can we avoid the risks of loneliness and stop short-changing our own happiness? It might be easierthan you think. Start with folks like the cashier in a grocery store or the waiter at your local coffee shop, Dunnsays. Youve got to interact with them anyway, so you might as well make an effort to turn it into a friendlyexchange.22338. What can be learned about those who choose B as an answer?A.They are addicted to the digital world.B. They feel uncomfortable being stared at.C. They enjoy connecting with familiar people much.D.They hate making small talks with people unknown to them.9. What were the happier participants in Dunn' s study asked to do?A. Speak to the waiter.B. Avoid asking for change.C. Choose a drink randomly.D. Get out of the coffee shop quickly.0. Why did commuters avoid interacting with other passengers according to Epley?A. To protect their privacy.B. Due to fear of rejection.C. Due to busy schedules.D. To enjoy views outside.1. What is the text mainly about?A.The benefits of avoiding loneliness.B.The benefits of pleasant commutes.C. The benefits of talking with strangers.D. The benefits of interacting with local people.DTwenty years ago, the Urban Land Institute defined the two types of cities that dominated the US landscape:smaller cities that operated around standard 9-5 business hours and large metropolitan areas that ran all 24 hoursof the day. Analyzing and comparing cities using the lens of this basic divide gives interesting context to howinvestment capital flows and housing prices have shifted.In recent years, many mid-sized cities have begun to adopt a middle-of-the-road approach incorporating theexcitement and opportunity of large cities with small cities' quiet after midnight. These 18-hour cities arebeginning to make waves in real estate(房地产) rankings and attract more real estate investment. What isunderlying this new movement in real estate, and why do these cities have so much appeal?18-hour cities combine the best of 24-hour and 9-5 cities, which contributes to downtown revitalization. Fordecades, many downtown cores in small to mid-sized cities were abandoned after work hours by workers wholived in the suburbs. Movement out of city centers was widespread, and downtown tenants were predominantlymade up of the working poor. This generated little commerce for downtown businesses in the evenings, whichmade business and generating tax revenue for municipal upkeep difficult.Transforming downtown areas so that they incorporate modern housing and improved walkability to localrestaurants, retail, and entertainmentespecially when combined with improved infrastructure for cyclists andpublic transitmakes them appeal to a more affluent demographic( 人 口 ). These adjustments encourageemployers in the knowledge and talent industries to keep their offices downtown. Access to foot traffic and5 proximity(邻近) to transit allow the type of entertainment-oriented businesses such as bars and restaurants to stayopen later, which attracts both younger, creative workers and baby boomers nearing retirement alike. Because oftheir smaller size, most keep hours that allow people to enjoy themselves, then have some quiet after midnight, asopposed to large major cities like New York, where the buzz of activity is ongoing33332. What do we learn about American cities twenty years ago?A.They were divided into residential and business areas.B. Their housing prices were linked with their prosperity.C. There was a clear divide between large and small cities.D.They were places where large investment capital flowed.3. What can be inferred from the passage about 18-hour cities?A. They especially appeal to small businesses.B. They have seen a rise in property prices.C. They have replaced quiet with excitement.D. They have changed America's landscape.4. Years ago, many downtown cores in small to mid-sized citiesA. had hardly any business activity.B. were crowded in business hoursC. exhibited no signs of prosperityD. looked deserted in the evenings5. What characterizes the new downtown areas in 18-hour cities?A. A sudden emergence of the knowledge industry.B. Flooding in of large crowds of migrant workers.C. Modernized housing and improved infrastructure.D. More comfortable life and greater upward mobility.第二节 (共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分)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。Four differences between successful people and youThe truth is, any successful individual is flesh and blood just like you.
