【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】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。

Danger-junkie orangutans(猩猩) in Borneo climb dead trees and shake then until they begin to fall. They scream with excitement as they cling to the falling tree. Just before the tree hits the ground the orangutans leap to another tree or vine, narrowly escaping death. While no one cab ask orangutans if they enjoy it as a person playing an extreme sport, one animal behaviorist sees this monkey fun as a bit of harmless thrill-seeking.

A growing number of scientists agree that animals are conscious and capable of experiencing basic emotions(情感), such as happiness, sadness, boredom or depression. A few scientists even see the possibility for higher animal emotions like love, jealousy and spite.

Five years ago, behaviorist and animal-rights activist Dr. Jonathan Balcombe stood on a Virginia hotel balcony watching two crows intimately groom (清洁) each other in the comfort of an abandoned billboard. He felt that the birds liked what they were doing, even if engaged in a natural, beneficial act, such as picking parasites (寄生虫) off the other’s feathers. That moment changed the way he would view animals forever and led to a book, “Pleasurable Kingdom: Animals and the Nature of Feeling Good”, which is filled with hundreds of examples of animals living it up thanks to developed senses of touch, taste, sight, sound and smell.

Balcombe recounts a favorite example of Kenyan hippos (河马) having high-end spa treatment in a fresh water spring. They splay their toes, open their mouths wide and wait for a school of cleaner fish to remove parasites and slough off dead skin, he recalls. Balcombe knows that the hippos and the fish both benefit from this arrangement. “My interpretation is that it is also enjoyable for them ,” he says.

【1】Danger-junkie orangutans shook the tree to ________.

A. get some fruits B. enjoy themselves

C. train their escaping skills D. frighten other animals

【2】The purpose of the first paragraph is to ________.

A. describe an unusual scene among animals

B. give an example that animals can experience pleasure

C. make a comparison between monkeys with humans

D. show that animals can avoid danger

【3】The passage leads us to the belief that _____.

A. animals can experience emotions

B. animals have a way to adapt to their environment

C. animals can copy what humans do

D. animals are only eat-or-be-eaten beasts

【4】We can conclude from the passage that ________.

A. only a few animals have emotions

B. Balcombe’s theory is not supported by other scientists

C. Balcombe has watched a lot of animals showing emotions

D. Balcombe can understand animal language

“What’s it that everyone wants more than anything else? What’s it that all of us keep working and struggling for each day? 【3】

Happiness is a strange thing. 【4】 What will make one man happy may not make another man happy. Some men say that happiness comes from helping others; other men say that happiness comes from making life more pleasant for everyone. What do you mean when you say “That makes me happy.”
