12、 1Over the last decade, demand for the most common cosmetic surgery procedures, like breast enlargements and nose jobs, has increased by more than 400 percent. According to Dr. Dai Davies, of the Plastic Surgery Partnership in Hammersmith, the majority of cosmetic surgery patients are not chasing ph

13、ysical perfection. Rather, they are driven to fantastic lengths to improve their appearance by a desire to look normal. What we all crave is to look normal, and normal is what is prescribed by the advertising media and other external pressures. They give us look like that.In America, the debate is n

14、o longer about whether surgery is normal; rather, it centers on what age people should be before going under the knife. New York surgeon Dr. Gerard Imber recommends maintenance1 work for people in their thirties. HThe idea of waiting until one needs a heroic transformation is silly,H he says. By the

15、n, youve wasted 20 great years of your life and allowed things to get out of hand.* Dr. Imber draws the line at operating on people who are under 18, however, Hlt seems that someone we dont consider old enough to order a drink shouldnt be considering plastic surgery.1*In the UK cosmetic surgery has

16、long been seen as the exclusive domain of the very rich and famous. But the proportionate cost of treatment has fallen substantially, bringing all but the most advanced laser technology within the reach of most people. Dr. Davies, who claims to cater for the average person, agrees. He says: Hl treat

17、 a few of the rich and famous and an awful lot of secretaries. Of course, 3, 000 for an operation is a lot of money. But it is also an investment for life which costs about half the price of a good family holiday.”Dr. Davies suspects that the increasing sophistication of the fat injecting and remova

18、l techniques that allow patients to be treated with a local anaesthetic in an afternoon has also helped promote the popularity of cosmetic surgery. Yet, as one woman who recently paid 2,500for liposuction to remove fat from her thighs admitted, the slope to becoming a cosmetic surgery Veteran is a d

19、eceptively gentle one. Hl had my legs done because theyd been bugging me for years. But going into the clinic was so low key and effective it whetted my appetite. Now I dont think theres any operation that I would rule out having if I could afford it.According to the text, the reason for cosmetic su

20、rgery is toA be physically healthy.B look more normal.C satisfy appetite.998880000D be accepted by media.21. According to the third paragraph, Dr. Davies implies thatA cosmetic surgery, though costly, is worth having.B cosmetic surgery is too expensive.C cosmetic surgery is necessary even for the av

21、erage person.D cosmetic surgery is mainly for the rich and famous.22. The statement draws the line at operating on people (para. 2) is closest in meaning toA removing wrinkles from the face.B helping people make up.C enjoying operating.D refusing to operate.23. It can be inferred from the text thatA

22、 it is wise to have cosmetic surgery under 18.B cosmetic surgery is now much easier.C people tend to abuse cosmetic surgery.D the earlier people have cosmetic surgery, the better they will be.24. The text is mainly aboutA the advantage of having cosmetic surgery.B what kind of people should have cos

23、metic surgery.C the reason why cosmetic surgery is so popular.D the disadvantage of having cosmetic surgery.Text 2In nature as in culture, diversity can be a difficult concept. Understanding it is one thing, accepting it another, especially when diversity means not only acknowledging a pre-existing

24、mixture of difference-the very ampleness of the world-but also accommodating an adjustment to the existing state of things. A case in point is the reintroduction of gray wolves in Yellowstone national Park. Thirty-three wolves were released in 1995, and their number has now reached 97. Population ex

25、pansion is one measure of the wolf programs success, but a better one is the wolves* impact on the natural diversity of the park.Typically, a pack of the Yellowstone wolves kills a big deer very few days. But over the remains the wolves abandon, a wonderful new diversity has emerged. Since their arr

26、ival, wolves have killed many of the parks coyotes (丛林郎),a smaller kind of wolf. The reduction in coyotes has caused an increase in rodents such as mice, rabbits and squirrels, which also benefits a wide range of predators. Even the coyotes that live at the margins of wolf country have prospered, th

27、anks to the leftovers the wolves leave behind. So do grizzly bears, which feed on wolf-kilted deer before beginning hibernation or winter sleep.What has interested scientists is the swiftness, the dynamism, of this shift in diversity. There has been, however, no matching dynamism in the opinion of h

28、umans who oppose the wolf reintroduction. That was made plain by a Federal district judges recent order to “remove” the wolves, the result or a legal process that is the offspring of inflexibility. Several livestock groups, including the Wyoming Farm Bureau, had filed a suit that urged, in slightly

29、cleverer terms, the old proposition, no wolves, no problems. Several environmental groups had flied a separate lawsuit- unconnected to the Yellowstone wolves-protesting the dropping of legal protection for998880000wolves that were recolonizing Idaho. The two suits were unfortunately merged.Though Ju

30、dge William Downes stayed his own decision, pending appeal, his judgment is a sad encouragement to the mistaken defensiveness of most ranchers or cattle farmers. It is also a misunderstanding of the purpose of the environmentalists* suit. His decision needs to be swiftly and decisively overturned on

31、 appeal. It is no exaggeration to say that since the return of the wolves, Yellowstone has witnessed an economy of diversity from which human culture-including the culture of ranching-can directly profit, if only it chooses to do so.25. Since the arrival of 33 wolves in the Yellowstone National Park

32、,A a dynamic biological chain has started to functionB animals kept in the park have had enough foodC some animals that are not wanted have been vanishingD the attraction of the park is greatly increasedThe author thinks it unfortunate that the judge shouldA make efforts to accept suits with regard

33、to old issues.B make use of legal means to protect his own interests.C mix up two irrelevant suits and make wolves the victims.D support the protest against canceling legal protections for wolves.26. The author believes that Judge William Downes was obviously on the side ofA the Yellowstone ParkB li

According to the author, the protection of wolves willA bring about an economic boom to the surrounding farms and ranchesB cause bigger losses of livestock to the Parks neighboring farmsC lead to a number of controversies in the societyD prove to be beneficial to all parties concer

36、nedText 3Vinton Cerf, known as the father of the Internet, said on Wednesday that the Web was outgrowing the planet Earth and the time had come to take the information superhighway to outer space.The Internet is growing quickly, and we still have a lot of work to do to cover the planet/* Cerf told t

37、he first day of the annual conference of the Internet Society in Geneva where more than 1,500 cyberspacefans have gathered to seek answers to questions about the tangled web of the Internet.Cerf believed that it would soon be possible to send real-time science data on the Internetfrom a space missio

38、n orbiting another planet such as Mars. There is now an effort under way to design and build an interplanetary Internet. The space research community is coming closer and closer and998880000merging. We think that we will see interplanetary Internet networks that look very much like the ones we use t

39、oday. We will need interplanetary gateways and there will be protocols to transmit data between these gateways, Cerf said.Francois Fluckiger, a scientist attending the conference from the European Particle Physics Laboratory near Geneva, was not entirely convinced, saying: ”We need dreams like this.

40、 But I don*t know any Martian whom Id like to communicate with through the Internet.Cerf has been working with NASAs PasadenaJet Propulsion Laboratory-the people behind the recent Mars expedition-to design what he calls an interplanetary Internet protocol.nHebelieves that astronauts will want to use

41、 the Internet, although special problems remain with interference and delay.This is quite real. The effort is becoming extraordinarily concrete over the next few months because the next Mars mission is in planning stages now,” Cerf told the conference.If we use domain names like Earth or Mars.jet pr

43、kind for future technological advances.The whole idea is to create an architecture so the design woks anywhere. I dont know where were going to have to put it but my guess is that well be going out there some time,” Cerf said.If you think 100 years from now, it is entirely possible that what will be

44、 purely research 50 years from now will become commercial 100 years from now. The Internet was the sameit started as pure research but now it is commercialized. 31. Which of the following is the main point of the text?A The development of the internet.B The possibility of space research.C Universal

From the text, we learn that Vinton Cerf isA seeking answers to questions about the internet web.B working on interplanetary internet with collaborations of NASA.C trying to commercialize the interplanetary internet.D explorin
