阅读理解。阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。
Life is not a beauty contest.We all focus on our imperfections(瑕疵)．In fact，you should see yourself in a proper way.It's necessary for you to know that self knowledge(自知之明)is the most important beauty
secret.
Don't hate yourself for wanting to be beautiful.Goodlooking people get special treatment from strangers，employers and even their own mothers.We're not even close to our objective when it comes to judging our own looks.Other people see the whole package.But when we look in the mirror，we're likely to pay attention to imperfections.For example, that bump(凸起)on your friend's nose. It's her feature！It gives her character！But to you，that thing on your nose is completely ugly.
Our opinions of our own looks are also changeable.
So if we can't trust the judgment of ourselves，or the words of friends and family which can take away our doubts，we're left to the cool judgment of strangers to satisfy our curiosity about our appearances.The website“Hot or Not”，which lets people hand their photos in for others to judge，had nearly 2 million daily page views within a week in 2000.But it's not the best way to improve the judgment of yourself because you have no confidence yet in your mind.
Everyone may pay too much attention to his or her
own appearance，and at the same time worry about being criticized.If you are particularly attentive to your body，or
if you feel uncomfortable in public，you are certainly hotter than you think.And we all have the ability to change how other people judge us without changing our looks.When you believe that you look good，others will see you in a more favorable way.Improve your impression from the inside.Understanding your own advantages can help you stop worrying about your appearance and look better.
．What can we infer from the first paragraph?
A．We should focus on our advantages.
B．Don't be cheated by others' praise.
C．Judging oneself in a right way is important.
D．It's unnecessary to know the meaning of beauty.
答案：C 推理判断题 。根据第一段“...selfknowledge is the most important beauty secret.”可知，人的自知之明是美丽的最重要秘诀。由此推之，正确评价自己很重要。
．What does the example in the second paragraph suggest?
A．Goodlooking people are more popular than ordinary ones.
B．Some badlooking people are afraid to look in the mirror.
C．Some people judge one by his appearance simply.
D．Sometimes we make our own imperfections bigger.
答案：D 推理判断题。根据第二段“That bump on your friend's nose. It's her feature！It gives her character！But to you，that thing on your nose is completely ugly.Our opinions of our own looks are also changeable.”可知，“你”可能认为朋友鼻子上的凸起是她的特色，赋予她个性。而如果在自己身上，就会看起来很丑陋。由此推断，有时我们把自身的瑕疵放大了。
．“Hot or Not”________．
A．is a website which allows others to comment on your character
B．can't change your ideas completely unless you're confident
C．is a good way to make friends and makes you popular online
D．can satisfy one's curiosity about others' secrets
答案：B 细节理解题。根据第三段“But it's not the best way to improve the judgment of yourself because you have no confidence yet in your mind.”可知，这个网站不是提升“你”对自己评价的最好方法，因为在心里，“你”仍然没有自信。所以，除非“你”有自信，否则这个网站不能完全改变“你”的想法。
．From the last paragraph we can learn________.
A．hanging our looks can make us more attractive
B．people shouldn't care about their own disadvantages
C．we can make ourselves more beautiful in the mind
D．it's useless to pay attention to your appearance
答案：C 细节理解题。根据最后两句“Improve your impression from the inside. Understanding your own advantages can help you stop worrying about your appearance and look better.”可知，作者建议从内部提升“你”的形象。了解自身优势有助于“你”不再担忧自己的外表，从而(让自己)看起来更美。所以，“我们”可以从内心中把自己“武装得”更美。

A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
Not all bodies of water are so evidently alive as the Atlantic Ocean，an Sshaped body of water covering 33 million square miles.The Atlantic has，in a sense，replaced the Mediterranean as the inland sea of Western civilization.Unlike real inland seas，which seem strangely still，the Atlantic is rich in oceanic liveliness.It is perhaps not surprising that its vitality has been much written about by ancient poets.
“Storm at Sea”，a short poem written around 700，is generally regarded as one of mankind's earliest artistic representations of the Atlantic.
When the wind is from the west
All the waves that cannot rest
To the east must thunder on
Where the bright tree of the sun
Is rooted in the ocean's breast.
As the poem suggests，the Atlantic is never dead and dull.It is an ocean that moves，impressively and endlessly.It makes all kinds of noise—it is forever thundering，boiling，crashing，and whistling.
It is easy to imagine the Atlantic trying to draw breath－perhaps not so noticeably out in midocean，but where it meets land，its waters bathing up and down a sandy beach.It mimics(模仿)nearly perfectly the steady breathing of a living creature.It is filled with symbiotic existences，too：unimaginable quantities of creatures，little and large alike，mix within its depths in a kind of oceanic harmony，giving to the waters a feeling of heartbeat，a kind of subocean vitality.And it has a psychology.It has personalities：sometimes peaceful and pleasant，on rare occasions rough and wild；always it is strong and striking.
．Unlike real inland seas，the Atlantic Ocean is ________.
A．always energetic
B．lacking in liveliness
C．shaped like a square
D．favored by ancient poets
解析 细节理解题。从第一段中的“Unlike real inland seas，which seem strangely still，the Atlantic is rich in oceanic liveliness.”可知，liveliness(精力充沛，活跃)与energetic近义，故答案为A项。
答案 A．What is the purpose of using the poem “Storm at Sea” in the passage?
A．To describe the movement of the waves.
B．To show the strength of the storm.
C．To represent the power of the ocean.
D．To prove the vastness of the sea.
解析 推理判断题。从诗歌下面的一段“As the poem suggests，the Atlantic is never dead and dull.It is an ocean that moves，impressively and endlessly.It makes all kinds of noise－it is forever thundering，boiling，crashing，and whistling.”可知，这首诗主要向我们描述了海洋的强大力量。
答案 C．What does the underlined word “symbiotic” mean?
A．Living together.
B．Growing fast.
C．Moving harmoniously.
D．Breathing peacefully.
解析 词义猜测题。划线单词所在的句子后边用了冒号，后边的内容是对前边句子的解释，从下文“unimaginable quantities of creatures，little and large alike，mix within its depths in a kind of oceanic harmony”中的mix within等字眼可知，划线单词意为“共生的”，故A项符合要求。
答案 A．In the last paragraph，the Atlantic is compared to ________.
A．a beautiful and poetic place
B．a flesh and blood person
C．a wonderful world
D．a lovely animal
解析 推理判断题。从最后一句“It has personalities：sometimes peaceful and pleasant，on rare occasions rough and wild；always it is strong and striking.”中可以看出，大西洋有个性：有时安静，有时野蛮等，把这些用来描绘人的词汇用来描写大西洋，所以此处把大西洋比喻成了一个有血有肉的人。
答案 BA,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
George Gershwin，born in 1898，was one of America's greatest composers.He published his first song when he was eighteen years old.During the next twenty years he wrote more than five hundred songs.
Many of Gershwin's songs were first written for musical plays performed in theatres in New York City.These plays were a popular form of entertainment in the 1920s and 1930s.Many of his songs have remained popular as ever.Over the years they have been sung and played in every possible way—from jazz to country.
In the 1920s there was a debate in the United States about jazz music.Could jazz，some people asked，be considered serious music? In 1924 jazz musician and orchestra leader Paul Whiteman decided to organize a special concert to show that jazz was serious music.Gershwin agreed to compose something for the concert before he realized he had just a few weeks to do it.And in that short time，he composed a piece for piano and orchestra which he called Rhapsody in Blue.Gershwin himself played the piano at the concert.The audience were thrilled when they heard his music.It made him worldfamous and showed that jazz music could be both serious and popular.
In 1928，Gershwin went to Paris.He applied to study composition (作曲)with the wellknown musician Nadia Boulanger，but she rejected him.She was afraid that classical study would ruin his jazzinfluenced style.While there，Gershwin wrote An American in Paris.When it was first performed，critics (评论家)were divided over the music.Some called it happy and full of life，to others it was stilly and boring.But it quickly became popular in Europe and the United States.It still remains one of his most famous works.
George Gershwin died in 1937，just days after doctors learned he had brain cancer.He was only thirtynine years old.Newspapers all over the world reported his death on their front pages.People mourned the loss of the man and all the music he might have still written.
【语篇解读】 本文讲述了George Gershwin 一位伟大的音乐家的一生，对音乐界及世界的影响。
1．Many of Gershwin's musical works were________.
A．written about New Yorkers
B．composed for Paul Whiteman
C．played mainly in the countryside
D．performed in various ways
解析 细节理解题。根据原文第二段末Over the years they have been sung and played in every possible way—from jazz to country.其中“they”指代Gershwin's musical works，“in every possible way ”与 various ways属于同义替换，所以选D。
