【题目】从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
Some people would have you believe that being fat is the worst thing you can be. They think that if a person is fat they have no life, no love, no reason to want to look good in their clothes. The sad thing is that many people who are fat do feel the same loathing toward themselves and others who are overweight or obese.
I know what I’m talking about because I have been there. I have been that fat girl who wore big T-shirts to cover my “sins”. Forget style. Forget fashion sense. I absolutely had none. I didn’t even bother getting haircuts for years, just wore my hair long and straight, pulled back in a ponytail, I have to wonder if the reason the fashion industry has ignored plus sized women and children for so long is because plus sized people, feeling they couldn’t possibly look great, didn’t bother shopping for new clothes, and therefore no profit was to be found by producing those sizes.
For me, the change that improved my outer look actually started with my outlook on life. I started by being grateful for all I do have, like great health, a stable family, a steady income, freedom, a decent home, the ability to see the trees turn orange in the fall, to hear my grandson humming in the back seat, to remember the great times I’ve had in my life.
I started to focus on all the positive aspects of the life I already had. I actually started to feel the beauty of the Universe all around me and to realize that I am part of that perfection. The self loathing stopped. I noticed all the people in my life who loved me in spite of my size. I got off the pity pot and smiled at myself. I acknowledged my shame and embarrassment and moved through that too.
【1】We can learn from the first paragraph that ________.
A. a fat person is easy be taken away by others’ viewpoint
B. fat people always have a low opinion of themselves
C. fat people usually envy others who are slim
D. fat people usually have pity on each other
【2】According to the author, the fashion industry ________.
A. makes a lot of money by making clothes for fat people
B. does not bother to make clothes for fat people
C. targets on fat people mainly for the purpose of making profit
D. looking down upon fat people too
【3】What does the author think is the most important to lead a happy life?
A. One’s view on life.
B. The support and care from others.
C. Neglecting others’ views.
D. Focusing on one’s inner beauty.
【4】The author is probably ________.
A. an expert at weight loss
B. a girl who is troubled by her weight
C. an old woman who is much careful with her appearance
D. an old lady who is happy with almost everything

【题目】阅读理解。
Next time you raise an eyebrow at the views of your partner, friend, sibling (兄弟姐妹) or colleague, remember they could be helping to make you smarter.
New research shows that intelligence is not fixed but can be boosted throughout adulthood by family members, bright mates and intellectually stretching (拉伸) careers.
The study challenges the commonly held belief that intelligence is static by the age of about 18. Current scientific consensus suggests that intelligence is controlled by genes, with environmental factors such as schooling and nutrition playing a partial role up to this age. After this point, IQ scores stabilize (稳定).
But James Flynn, professor of political studies and psychology at the University of Otago in New Zealand, argues that people can “upgrade” their own intelligence throughout their lives. He believes intellectual stimulation (刺激) from others is crucial as the “brain seems to be rather like a muscle – the more you use it, the stronger it gets”. However, the opposite is also true – so people sharing a home or workplace with those who are intellectually challenged risk seeing their IQ levels fall as a result.
He found the “understanding quality” of a family changes the IQs of all members, especially children. It can “lift” or hold back, depending on the “gap between their brightness and that of their siblings and parents”. A bright ten-year-old with brothers and sisters of average intelligence will suffer a five to ten point IQ disadvantage, compared to a similar child with equally bright siblings. However, children with a low IQ could gain six to eight points by having brighter siblings and special educational treatment to help pull them up.
Professor Flynn also concluded that although genetics and early life experiences determine about 80 percent of intelligence, the remaining 20 percent is linked to lifestyle. This means that people can raise their IQ, or allow it to fall, by ten points or more. Therefore, the best way to boost IQ level is to mix with bright friends, find an intellectually challenging job and marry someone cleverer.
【1】We can learn from the passage that ____.
A. as the age grows, you will become smarter
B. a 35-year-old man is surely smarter than himself at the age of 18
C. you will be smarter if you have a partner, a friend or a sibling
D. after 18, you still have the possibility to become smarter
【2】The underlined word “static” in the 3rd paragraph probably means ____.
A. unstable B. fixed
C. varied D. repeated
【3】James Flynn holds the belief that ____.
A. intellectual stimulation from others makes the brain work better
B. people should avoid working with those intellectually challenged
C. one’s IQ could be held back if he has bright brothers or sisters
D. the IQ of children is least influenced by the understanding level of a family
【4】 What’s the best title for the passage?
A. Genetics Determines Intelligence.
B. Watch Out for Intelligence Falling.
C. Bright Siblings Make You Smarter.
D. Brain Is Like Muscle.

【题目】阅读理解。
The traditional distinction between products that satisfy needs and those satisfy wants is no longer adequate to describe classes of products. In today’s prosperous societies, the distinction has become unclear because so many wants have been turned into needs.A writer, for instance, can work with paper and pencils. These are legal needs for the task.But the work can be done more quickly and efficiently with a word processor. Thus a computer is soon viewed as a need rather than a want.
In the field of marketing, consumer goods are classed according to the way in which they are purchased.The two main classes are convenience goods and shopping goods.Two lesser types are specialty goods and unsought (未被要求的) goods. It must be emphasized that all of these types are based on the way shoppers think about products, not on the nature of the products themselves. What is regarded as a convenience item in France(wine,for example)should be a specialty goods in the United States.
People do not spend a great deal of time shopping for such convenience items as groceries, newspapers, toothpaste, aspirin, and candy. The buying of convenience goods may be done routinely, as some families buy groceries once a week. Such regularly purchased items are called staples. Sometimes convenience products are bought without enough thinking; someone has a sudden desire for an ice cream sundae on a hot day. Or they may be purchased as emergency items.
Shopping goods are items for which customers search. They compare prices. quality, and styles, and may visit a number of stores before making a decision.Buying an automobile is often done this way.
Shopping goods fail into two classes:those that are recognized as basically the same and those that are regarded as different. Items that are looked upon as basically the same include such things as home appliances, television sets, and automobiles.Having decided on the model desired, the customer is primarily interested in getting the item at the most favorable price. Items regarded as essentially different include clothing, furniture, and dishes. Quality, style and fashion will either take precedence(优先) over price, or they win not matter at all.
【1】It can be learned from the first paragraph that ________.
A.a writer needs a word processor
B.needs and wants can’t be separated clearly
C.the way to distinguish the products is unimportant
D.a computer is a need rather than a want
【2】The example of wine is used to illustrate that ________.
A.goods are classified differently in different counties
B.the type of a product is determined by its consumers
C.Frenchmen often drink but Americans sometimes do
D.one product may belong to many types
【3】Staples are items that ________.
A.are convenient to purchase
B.are purchased without enough thinking
C.people “want but don’t need”
D.people are in constant need of
【4】Shopping goods that are considered as basically the same are those that ________.
A.consumers don’t care where to buy them
B.consumers spend much time searching for
C.meet similar needs of the consumers
D.can be found in nearly every shop
