A Chilean(智利) soap-opera star, a beauty from Ancient Pompeii and a freckled (雀斑的)boyish girl hardly make an average beauty show line-up.
The first world-wide digital beauty contest to the surprise of many online fans was won by a woman who is virtually(虚拟) real flesh and bones. “Virtual models are not the anti-real, they are a different representation of reality,” said Franz Cerami, the organiser of Miss Digital World (数字世界小姐).
Each of the contestants had to provide the charming photo of high degrees, with date of birth and body measurements.
Chilean Rodolfo Perez Ayala decided that no figure of his imagination could beat the beauty of his wife, Katty Kowaleczko, so he hired artist Flavio Parra to recreate her. Kowaleczko, who plays Paula Sandoval in the popular Latin American soap opera Tentacion, was transformed into Katty-ko and won the digital contest with more than 17,000 online votes.
“I’m so happy Katty-ko won. I think her strength is her similarity to a real woman-not too luxurious or exposed”, Kowaleczko, 40, told reporters. “Her beauty is in her simplicity.” Kowaleczko was not afraid of being replaced by her 3D clone in movies or theatres, but hoped she would become “a sort of ambassador(使者) of Chilean beauty”.
Cerami said Latin American interest in Miss Digital World had greatly increased since Katty-ko joined the contest, which attracted about 3600 entries from countries from Iran to Australia and even from the ancient Roman empire.
“Pompea” was the digital reconstruction of a young woman killed by the outbreak of Vesuvius in 79 AD. “She was a slave, but also a rich man’s lover. When her body was discovered, many jewels and a bangle(手镯) with the writing ‘from the master to his servant girl’ were found” said Genny Tortora, a professor at the University of Salerno who led Pompea’s creative team.
Other contestants included Kaya, the most realistic model with digital freckles, pouty (噘起的) lips and upturned nose.
Now, Cerami’s dream is to manage a form of virtual beauties, introducing them for calendars, games, ads, and movies. One is even reported to be heading for Playboy’s front page.
8.The winner in the first Miss Digital World contest was ________.
A. a star who performed in some soap operas
B. a beauty who came from Chilean
C. a beauty who was from the ancient Roman empire
D. a made-up beauty based on a real woman.
9. Which group of the following are the names for the digital beauties mentioned in the passage?
A. Katty-ko, Pompea, Kaya. B. Katty Kowaleczko, Pompea, Playboy.
C. Flavio Parra, Genny Tortora, Franz Cerami.
D. Rodolfo Perez Ayala, Pompea, Franz Cerami
10. The digital beauty “Pompea” was created by ________.
A. Genny Tortora B. a group of people C. by a young woman D. a rich man
11. What the organiser of Miss Digital World wants to do next is ________.
A. sell pictures of beauties for calendars B. hold another contest
C. put the digital beauties into practical use. D. start an ads company

This little story I’m about to tell you happened when I was 11 years old, and I’ll never forget it.
It was at my friend Jenny’s house after 36 one day, and we were doing our homework. While I was there, a friend of Jenny’s mom came over to 37. I didn’t know her name or 38 what her face looked like. I just 39 her hands, her voice and the lesson I 40 from her.
I can’t forget that she 41 her hands to introduce herself. It was so 42, I thought, rich fine skin; then I heard her saying, “Oh no, that is not 43 you shake hands. Let me teach you.” She didn’t do that at all in a condescending (屈尊的) manner. 44 that, I just remember her voice explaining the 45 of a good handshake of conveying (传达) a 46 sense of self-belief, of looking the other person in the eyes, and of making a warm 47. Hearing her friendly words, I first understand what being 48 meant.
I admired her for 49 time to teach me about one of the important things in life. I was grateful for her not talking down to me 50 I was 11 and didn’t know much. I also felt somewhat admired by the way she 51 me. It felt good to be talked to as a(n) 52, rather than as an 11-year-old child. I also 53 her telling me that if someone isn’t aware of something you should show him or her the right direction; don’t be afraid to 54 your knowledge.
I think of her every time I meet someone 55, and I’m so thankful for her little lesson.

科目:高中英语 来源:2011届江苏省宿豫中学高三第二次模拟英语卷 题型:阅读理解
There is, for many of us, a moment in life when we make a choice that changes us forever. This moment marks a turning point, when we realize that the life we're living is not a mirror of who we really are.
For some, the moment comes as a result of something dramatic: the sudden loss of a job, or the death of a loved one. For others, they have to deal with difficult situations, such as financial hardship. In these challenging times, it's more critical(关键时刻的) than ever for us to seize the possibility of positive change. As I travel and talk to people about their lives, I often see a distant, vacant look in their eyes -- a look that says “I’m so busy trying to survive my life that no soul left to live it”.
As a result, we end up feeling lonely. Yet we keep on going the way we've been going. We tolerate high levels of stress at work, take important relationships for granted, or put our health needs on hold. We get so caught up in the details of living that our busyness becomes an excuse from the inner voice that begs us to listen. When you finally pay attention to that little voice and begin to make even small changes, you will slowly improve yourself.
To start positive change, you need the power of your mind. I've come up with a five-step strategy that will help you. You will be able to identify what you want and then go after it. It's easier than you might think.
1. Reset your happiness set point. Don't limit yourself! When I decided that I wanted more control over my life, I set goals in physical, emotional, financial, professional, material, and play. I challenged myself to consider every possible choice. Imagine things you've never believed you could achieve. Don't let your past determine your future.
2. Trust your courage. Too often, when you're first learning to take control of your life, you doubt yourself. It's important to develop a strong connection with your inner guidance system. I've heard many stories about the persistent voice inside your head.
3. Take action. Once you have set goals, adjusted your beliefs, and got ready, you can start making things happen. Again, turn to those people you respect -- the ones achieving what you desire -- for support and guidance. They will both inspire you and give you practical advice on what steps you need to take.
4. Have faith. Believe that the positive energy of grace will support your efforts to improve your life. When you've done all you can, let go and trust that the right result will occur. When we have faith, we give up the need to be in control, and we set ourselves up to actually enjoy the process of change.
5. Be patient. This can be the toughest step. It's not easy to trust that your life will improve in a best way. Remind yourself of the benefits of patience. In my experience, those life changes are always worth the wait.
【小题1】What does the author intend to say in the second paragraph?
A.The start of some turning points in one’s life is caused by crisis. |
B.Loss of a job or the death of a loved one are all dramatic things. |
C.No one can live a life without any turning points. |
D.No one can predict his future of being good or not. |
A.adjust our beliefs from time to time | B.always control ourselves for anything |
C.keep on going the way we are going | D.seize the challenging times to live an active life |
A.know the limitation of your set point | B.build self-confidence without doubt |
C.limit your goals in different ways | D.consider every possible choice with care |
A.When you've done all you can, you may believe that the right result will occur. |
B.When you set goals, and take action, it is possible to make things happen. |
C.When you first learn to take charge of your life, you will always doubt yourself. |
D.If things do not happen in a way that is best, patience is always worth the wait. |
