11、 group of men,tall,strong and handsome,and women,young,beautiful and attractive,too.Together they eat in the finest restaurants,traveling everywhere around the world byluxurious planes and pleasure ships.They are models.Do you envy them?What sort of life are models leading?Is it a wonderful life for

12、 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 incommercials.But the majority of them are just curious to see what it is like.Theyd like to be models just because they areattracted by what they imagine models ea

13、rn a lot of money and lead a glorious life.This is true for those who are verysuccessful.However;most models find it difficult to get work.Very few can earn enough to live on,and for all models theirexpenses are high.Their agents claim about 20%of the earnings,and no model will get very far without

14、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 workis to be done.Interviews for a model job are known as cattle-markets in the modeling world,and not without a good reason.A topmodel can choose his or her work,demand

15、 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 f

16、igures.For all exceptthe very few lucky ones,the life of a model is a continual search for work,trying to sell himself or herself in the face offierce competition and,sometimes,not particularly moral standards on the part of some employers.Immigration officials at airport look suspiciously at a girl

17、 whose passport shows her occupation as“Model”,and theseare 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 minorit

18、y but not for the majority.26.For models,their good looks and tight figures are,compared with their intelligence andqualifications.A.more important less neededC.less essential more looked down upon27.Which of the following can lead you to believe according to the passage?A.A models traveling expense

19、s 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 becau

20、seA.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 author/s attitude towards modeling?A.It is a w

21、orthwhile life for a young lady or a young man.B.He is in favor 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 probabl

22、y be replaced by.A.doubtfully B.excitedlyC.proudly D.sadlyBAmericans are proud of their variety and individuality,yet they love and respect few things more than a uniform,whether it is the uniform of an elevator operator or the uniform of a five-star general.Why are uniforms so popular in theUnited

23、States?Among the arguments for uniforms,one of the first is that in the eyes of most people they look more professionalthan civilian（百姓的）clothes.People have become conditioned to expect superior quality from a man who wears auniform.The television repairman who wears uniform tends to inspire more tr

24、ust than one who appears in civilianclothes.Faith in the skill of a garage mechanic is increased by a uniform.What easier way is there for a nurse,a policeman,a barber;or a waiter to lose professional identity（身份）than to step out of uniform?Uniforms also have many practical benefits.They save on oth

25、er clothes.They save on laundry bills.They aretax-deductible（可）或税的）.They are often more comfortable and more durable than civilian clothes.Primary among the arguments against uniforms is their lack of variety and the consequent loss of individualityexperienced by people who must wear them.Though the

26、re are many types of uniforms,the wearer of any particular typeis generally stuck with it,without change,until retirement.When people look alike,they tend to think,speak,and actsimilarly,on the job at least.Uniforms also give rise to some practical problems.Though they are long-lasting,often their i

27、nitial expense is greaterthan the cost of civilian clothes.Some uniforms are also expensive to maintain,requiring professional dry cleaning ratherthan the home laundering possible with many types of civilian clothes.31.It is surprising that Americans who worship variety and in d iv id u a lit y.A.st

28、ill judge a man by his clothesB.hold the uniform in such high regardC.enjoy having a professional identityD.will respect an elevator operator as much as a general in un讦orm32.People are accustomed to think that a man in u n i f o r m.A.suggests quality workB.discards his social identityC.appears to

29、be more practicalD.looks superior to a person in civilian clothes33.The chief function of a uniform is toA.provide practical benefits to the wearerB.make the wearer catch the public eyeC.inspire the wearers confidence in himselfD.provide the wearer with a professional34 According to the passage,peop

30、le wearing u n i f o r ms.A.are usually helpfulB.have little or no individual freedomC.tend to lose their individualityD.enjoy greater popularity35.The best title for this passage would be.A.Uniforms and SocietyB.The Importance of Wearing a UniformC.Practical Benefits of Wearing a UniformD.Advantage

31、s and Disadvantages of UniformsCOne of the strongest arguments for the raising of the school leaving age(ROSLA)has been that it will bring us someway nearer to“equality of opportunity”.Many people like to think of our present system of schooling as providing plenty of steps up the ladder of success

32、forclever children.It would be good to think that no one who is really bright can be missed out when the state system isobviously so complete.It is obvious,for instance,that many children from less wealthy homes reach university or do wellin other ways.Unfortunately,we now have plenty of proofs that

33、 many children of every level of ability do much less well than theycould.For instance,during the years of national military service it was possible to test the intelligence of all male18-to-20-year-old.Half of those soldiers who were placed in the two highest ability groups had left school at 15.It

34、 has also been shown that the percentage of working class children going to university is almost the same now as itwas in 1939.One study of 5000 children from birth to 21 years old shows that up to half the bright pupils from workingclass homes left school when they reached 16 years old.Moreover,the

35、re is no difference in intelligence between the sexes,but far more boys than girls stay in education after 16.It is clear from this and many other proofs that many children are still leaving school too early to benefit from theprizes money,social respectability,and interesting jobs which higher educ

36、ation gives.It is clear too that the reasonswhy such children leave have much to do with their social background.Their parents often need the extra money anothermoney-earner would bring in;they dont value education for itself because their own was probably dull and unhappy.It isnot so much that they

37、 force their sons and daughters to leave school,rather than they tend to say,“Its up to you.”36.It is hoped that ROSLA will give all chi l dr en.A.a more enjoyable time at schoolB.the same chances in societyC.the right to a better schoolD.higher scores in intelligence tests37.People would like to th

38、ink that.A.equal numbers of poor and wealthy children reach universityB.those with the least money get the best educationC.intelligent children are always selected by the systemD.only really clever children do well38.Working class children are thought to be at a disadvantage because.A.many of the cl

39、ever ones leave school earlyB.fewer go to university than ever beforeC.more than half leave school when they are 16D.fewer boys than girls stay at school after 1639.Many children leave school early because.A.their social background makes them unhappyB.they have to give something to their familys inc

40、omeC.their school is a dull and unhappy placeD.their parents dont allow them to make their own decisions40.This article shows that equal opportunity in educat i on.A.is a thing of the pastB.has not yet been achievedC.is there for those who deserve itD.has greatly improved our societyDIf English mean

41、s endless new words,difficult grammar and sometimes strange pronunciation,you are wrong.Haventyou noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language?According to a new study by a British university,learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brainpower.Research

42、ers found that learning other languages changes grey matter.This is the area of the brain which processesinformation.It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles.The study also found the effect is greater,the younger people learn a second language.A team led by Dr Andrea Mechelli,from Unive

43、rsity College London,took a group of Britons who only spoke English.They were compared with a group of 4tearly bilinguals“who had learnt a second language before the age of five,as well as anumber of later learners.Scans showed that grey matter density（密度）in the brain was greater in bilinguals than

44、in people without a secondlanguage.But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language,the smaller the difference.“Our findings suggest that the structure of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language,“saidthe scientists.It means that the change itself increases

45、the ability to learn.Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales,has researched the link between bilingualism and mathsskills.Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible（灵活的）,“he said.“You are actually going beyond language and have a better

46、 understanding of different ideas.”The findings were matched in a study of native Italian speakers who had learned English as a second language betweenthe ages of two and 34.Reading,writing,and comprehension were all tested.The results showed that the younger theystarted to learn,the better.t4Studyi

48、 paragraph,the writer mentions exercise“in order to.A.say language is also a kind of physical laborB.prove that one needs more practice when he（she）is learning a languageC.to show the importance of using the language when you learn the languageD.make people believe language learning helps grey matte

49、r work well43.The underlined word“bilingual probably means.A.a researcher on language learningB.a second language learnerC.a person who can speak two languagesD.an active language learner44.We may know from the scientific findings that.A.the earlier you start to learn a second language the higher th

50、e grey matter density isB.there is no difference between a later second language learner and one who doesnt know a second languageC.the experience of learning a second language has bad effect on peopled brainD.the ability of learning a second language is changing all the time45.In the last two parag
