Ⅰ.閱讀理解
A
　　Unlike many other people， who have birthmarks on their bodies， I have them on my lips and inside my mouth.I used to consider them ugly， while my mom calls them beauty marks.
　　My birthmarks are caused by a genetic condition from my mom’s side of the family.This syndrome causes polyps （息肉）， which are small non-cancerous growths in the intestinal tract （腸道）.Every other year I have a procedure where the doctor removes them from my intestines.The day before， I can’t eat anything solid because the doctors need my intestines to be clear so that they won’t mistake food for a polyp.I also cannot drink anything red， because they may mistake it for blood on the scan.Before the procedure they give me anesthesia （麻醉）.
　　No matter how many times I go through the process， I always get nervous — but that’s understandable.At the end of the day I always know I’ll end up okay.
　　My younger cousin faces a similar challenge.She has a huge birthmark that takes up her whole arm.Her birthmark is pretty noticeable and looks like faded red splotches （斑點） of paint.She’s never tried to hide her birthmark or change her appearance.It really inspires me.She has always been so much more confident about her birthmark than I am.Once， her grandmother told her mom that her birthmark looked extremely prominent and suggested that she should wear long sleeves more often.If my younger cousin’s mom had actually taken that suggestion， my younger cousin wouldn’t be as confident about her birthmark as she is.
　　I could have covered up my birthmarks a while ago by wearing black lipstick.But I’m glad I didn’t.Using black lipstick would be straying away from accepting outward features that make me different.I am finally accepting who I am and now I won’t tolerate people making fun of me.I don’t hesitate when someone asks me about them either.I say， “They’re beauty marks.”
1.What do we know about the author from the first two paragraphs？（　　）
A.She likes to be different from others.
B.Her birthmarks can be deadly.
C.She should eat some solid food before the operation.
D.Her birthmarks cause her some trouble.
2.What does the underlined word “prominent” in Paragraph 4 mean？（　?。?br/>A.Apparent. B.Graceful.
C.Harmful. D.Impressive.
3.What can be inferred about the author’s cousin？（　?。?br/>A.She has hidden her birthmark.
B.Her confidence encourages the author.
C.She has taken her grandma’s suggestion.
D.She never judges others by their looks.
4.What can we learn from the story？（　?。?br/>A.Every coin has two sides.
B.Don’t judge a person by his appearance.
C.Learn to accept who you are.
D.Overcome the nervousness.
B
　　There is a full-length mirror in my bedroom.I often look into this mirror before leaving home.A quick look ensures that my appearance is okay.But how much of the real me does my mirror reflect？ Here， I intend to recount various instances wherein deceptive appearances have contributed to prejudicial （有偏見的） attitudes.
　　One of my family’s best friends， David， has Down’s Syndrome （唐氏綜合征）.Last year， my family joined his family for a day of skiing.Despite my frequent falls， David was always there to offer encouraging words， assuring me of my capabilities and teaching me essential skills such as turning， stopping， and getting up from my falls.Although David is an outstanding skier himself， he spent his day ensuring that I had an enjoyable experience， showing strengths that are not visible in a mirror.
　　At the grocery store where I work every Saturday， there is a lady who chooses to queue up at my checkout counter.By appearance， she is dressed differently and walks unsteadily.To some people， she is an object of joking.Although she may appear unaware of this judgment， I have noticed that she seeks out my checkout line on purpose while avoiding those who engage in laughing at her.From her behavior， I see a lonely person longing for a friendly hello.
　　When I recently visited a nursing home， I encountered a white-haired lady seated in a wheelchair.Most people just hurried past her.Based on her appearance， it would be easy to judge her as an “old lady” with nothing much to do and less to offer.However， it was not until later that I discovered her remarkable ability to speak three different languages.What a loss of opportunity for those who judged her by her appearance as a useless “old lady”！
　　A person’s appearance， like a mirror， reflects only their outer self.It’s the inner self that we need to embrace.By doing so， we open ourselves up to valuable connections that would otherwise be missed.
5.What did the author probably see beneath David’s appearance？（　　）
A.His passion for skiing.
B.His pity for the author’s incapability.
C.His patient and caring character.
D.His determination to defeat disease.
6.What does the lady at the grocery store want？ （　?。?br/>A.People’s ignorance. B.People’s acceptance.
C.The jokers’ apology. D.The author’s attention.
7.What did most people probably think of the old lady in the nursing home？（　　）
A.Worthless. B.Attractive.
C.Intelligent. D.Poor.
8.What can we learn from the author’s experiences？（　?。?br/>A.Don’t bite off more than you can chew.
B.Two heads are always better than one.
C.Actions speak louder than words.
D.Don’t judge a book by its cover.

　　（2024·重慶巴蜀中學高二下月考）Her face is framed by wavy brown hair extensions， her filled lips pursed towards the viewer.It could be a description of an Instagram post， but the touched-up （修改過的） beauty is Diana Cecil， an English noblewoman who belongs to a powerful family at the Jacobean court.Experts at English Heritage have discovered that her portrait had been altered by restorers to enhance certain features， suggesting that our modern beauty standards might not be so modern after all.
　　The great-granddaughter of William Cecil， Lord Burghley， one of Elizabeth Ⅰ’s closest advisers， Diana was considered one of the great beauties of her age.Yet it seems a later artist had other ideas.A restorer， probably in the 19th century， worked on the painting after it was damaged from being rolled sideways.It seems they also took the opportunity to alter the noblewoman’s face， enlarging her lips and lowering her hairline to reduce the size of her forehead.
　　Now， following careful conservation work， Cecil’s original appearance has been restored， with the full-length portrait-painted by Cornelius Johnson when Cecil was about 31.The conservation team discovered the changes made to the Johnson painting after removing a yellowing layer of oily liquid that had covered its original， more vivid colours.They also surprisedly found the artist’s signature， and a date that had been signed in the portrait’s curtain suggesting it was finished in 1634 and not 1638 as previously thought.
　　According to Alice Tate-Harte， a conservator at English Heritage， it was not uncommon for people to “sweeten” old paintings in the 19th and early 20th centuries.“Conservation wasn’t a profession， they weren’t working in institutions with salaries，” she said.“They were artist restorers and they had a bit more flexibility to prettify and beautify， whereas we have a lot more ethics today.We must keep our retouching to a minimum.I hope I’ve done Diana justice by removing those additions and presenting her natural face to the world.”
9.What does the discovery of experts at English Heritage suggest？（　　）
A.Prettiness is in the eyes of the viewer.
B.Every great artist was once an amateur.
C.Past norms may repeat themselves at present.
D.Beauty souls shine brighter than appearances.
10.What do we know about the original portrait of Diana Cecil？（　?。?br/>A.The original beauty failed to entertain the restorer.
B.The portrait was in fact painted for William Cecil.
C.The painter intended to hide the beauty of Diana.
D.The age of Diana was exposed by her hairline.
11.Which of the following is an unexpected finding from the conservation work？（　　）
A.The addition of the bright colour.
B.The portrait’s date of completion.
C.The removal of the artist’s signature.
D.The extent of damage to the painting.
12.What does Alice think is the duty of art conservation？（　?。?br/>A.It means an artistic way of living.
B.It depends on artists’ preference.
C.It requires ethical considerations.
D.It represents the fashion of time.

　　What can be done if you’re addicted to negative thinking？ Here are a few tips that might help you understand how you’re thinking and what changes you could make to stop the negative cycle.
　　Catch your thoughts
　　13.（　?。?If you can catch your thoughts as they arise， you can just observe them.Observing your thoughts can help to recognize whether you’re focused on the positive or the negative.Is there a real problem here that needs to be addressed？ Or something you can acknowledge and let go of？ When you process your thoughts with awareness， you can place them in the appropriate category.

語篇解讀：本文是一篇記敘文。文章講述了特殊的胎記給作者的外表及生活都帶來了影響，作者因此感到苦惱，但表妹的自信使作者受到了鼓勵，終于接受了自我。
1.D　推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段前三句可知，因為胎記的特殊性，作者每隔一年都要進行手術，因此這給作者帶來了一些麻煩。
2.A　詞義猜測題。根據(jù)畫線詞后的suggested that she should wear long sleeves more often可推知，表妹的奶奶讓表妹多穿長袖衣服是為了擋住胎記，因為胎記太明顯了。由此可知，畫線詞prominent表示“明顯的”。apparent明顯的；graceful優(yōu)美的；harmful有害的；impressive給人印象深刻的。
3.B　推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段中的She’s never tried to hide her birthmark or change her appearance.It really inspires me.可知，作者的表妹沒有故意隱藏胎記，說明她很自信，不懼別人的目光，她的這份自信鼓舞了作者。
4.C　推理判斷題。通讀全文內(nèi)容可知，本文主要講述了特殊的胎記給作者的外表及生活都帶來了影響，作者因此感到苦惱，但表妹的自信使作者受到了鼓勵，終于接受了自我。由此推知，本文教育人們要學會接受自我。
語篇解讀：本文是一篇夾敘夾議文。作者結合自身經(jīng)歷，告訴讀者：人不可貌相。
5.C　推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段內(nèi)容可知，David一直鼓勵、陪伴作者，并耐心教他滑雪動作，讓他度過了愉快的一天。由此可知，David是個很有耐心且關心他人的人。
6.B　細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段中的I see a lonely person longing for a friendly hello可知，這位女士內(nèi)心深處很渴望得到他人的認可和接納。
7.A　觀點態(tài)度題。根據(jù)第四段中的Most people ...as an “old lady” with nothing much to do and less to offer.可知，人們匆匆從她身邊走過，認為她是個沒什么用處和價值的老人。
8.D　推理判斷題。根據(jù)作者所列舉的三個親身經(jīng)歷的事例以及最后一段中的It’s the inner self that we need to embrace.可推知，作者告訴讀者：不要以貌取人，要去體會每個人豐富的內(nèi)在。
語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹了英國遺產(chǎn)專家的一項發(fā)現(xiàn)：17世紀的貴族女性戴安娜·塞西爾的肖像畫曾被修復者修改以增強其美貌特征，這暗示了現(xiàn)代審美標準可能并非如我們所想的那樣現(xiàn)代，而是存在歷史循環(huán)的現(xiàn)象。
9.C　推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段最后一句可知，專家發(fā)現(xiàn)修復者對戴安娜·塞西爾的肖像進行了修改，這表明現(xiàn)代審美標準并非如我們所想的那樣現(xiàn)代，而是存在歷史循環(huán)的現(xiàn)象。由此可推知，專家的發(fā)現(xiàn)表明過去的審美標準可能在現(xiàn)代會得到重復。
10.A　推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段最后兩句可知，后來的修復者對戴安娜·塞西爾的肖像進行了改動，包括增大嘴唇尺寸和降低發(fā)際線以減小額頭大小。由此可推知，原始畫像并未完全滿足修復者對于美的期望。
11.B　細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段中的They also surprisedly found the artist’s signature， and a date that had been signed in the portrait’s curtain suggesting it was finished in 1634 and not 1638 as previously thought.可知，保護工作意外地發(fā)現(xiàn)了該畫像完成于1634年而不是先前認為的1638年。
12.C　推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段最后三句可知，現(xiàn)在的藝術品保護工作有著更多的倫理規(guī)范，必須盡量減少對作品的修補，以公正地向世人展示藝術品原有的面貌。這說明她認為藝術保護工作需要考慮倫理因素。
Ⅱ.
語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹了三條改變消極思維的建議。
13.F　根據(jù)Catch your thoughts可知，本段主要講述的是了解你的想法。F項指出了解自己想法的第一步就是要意識到自己想什么，符合語境。
14.A　根據(jù)下文The more you resist something， the more you attract it towards you.If you imagine the worst that could happen and accept that， then the reality of what is actually happening isn’t so bad after all.可知，本段介紹了抵制消極思維的弊端和接受糟糕的事情的益處。A項（接受和改變）涵蓋了本段內(nèi)容，符合語境。
15.G　空前一句強調想象最壞的情況并接受它。G項承接上文，指出以現(xiàn)實和樂觀的態(tài)度處理并接受事情的結果，符合語境。
16.D　根據(jù)so when you focus on what is good， the negative thoughts will have to take a back seat可知，此處強調把注意力集中在好的方面時，消極的想法就會被拋到腦后。D項（同時有兩種相反的想法是很難的）引起下文，符合語境。
17.B　根據(jù)空后一句可知，我們常常忽視我們認為理所應當?shù)氖?，對這些事情我們?nèi)鄙俑卸鳌９蔅項（感激一切）承接上文，符合語境。
1 / 6Section Ⅰ　Starting out & Understanding ideas
It’s all about ME！
　　“Me”.It’s a small word with big meaning， and that meaning is as individual① to each of us as the way we look.[1]Through interviews， I was able to discover what “me” means to other people， and how they have learnt to appreciate the beauty② in themselves.
Psychologist， Dr Hart
Jade， 24， accounting manager
As a song in Ugly Betty puts it③， “It’s a pretty person’s world”.[2]I understand this more than most， as I have always been plain-looking④. I’m a girl who’d love to look good.Well， who wouldn’t？ So， ever since I discovered selfie apps that could remove my freckles⑤， enlarge⑥ my eyes and even slim⑦ my jawline， I have become addicted⑧.I spend hours every day editing⑨ my selfies， posting⑩ them and eagerly checking my phone a hundred times for comments .Each “l(fā)ike” boosts my confidence.[3]Dad thinks I am a narcissist， but what I say is that my pictures aren’t hurting anyone， so who cares？
　　[1]what與how都引導賓語從句，作discover的賓語。
[2]as引導原因狀語從句。
[3]本句為but連接的并列句。在第二個分句中，what引導主語從句，that引導表語從句。
Dr Hart says：
Obsessive online photo editing indicates a lack of self-confidence and a desire for attention .However， the image Jade presents to obtain the praise of others is false.[4]People who pretend to be someone they are not tend to misjudge themselves.
Anthony， 21， college student
I never really cared about my appearance.[5]That’s why I could never understand my sister， who has 17 lipsticks and can’t decide which one to use every morning.I only used to have five identical pairs of trousers and five identical shirts.When I first moved into my dormitory at college， this made my roommates quite confused as they saw me in the same clothes day after day.Last month they registered me for a TV programme， A New You.It felt bizarre at first.I didn’t like being reviewed from head to toe .But I was surprised at how good I looked after the makeover！ For the first time in my life I saw myself as a handsome and well-presented young man.At that moment， I perceived that external beauty isn’t totally worthless.It can be an expression of our personalities ， helping us make a good and positive impression on others.
　　[4]本句的句子主干為：People tend to misjudge themselves.句中who pretend ...they are not為who引導的定語從句，修飾先行詞People；在定語從句中，they are not是省略了關系代詞that的定語從句，修飾先行詞someone。
　　[5]本句中why引導表語從句。who引導非限制性定語從句，修飾先行詞my sister。
Dr Hart says：
It’s true that inner beauty is very important， but external beauty shouldn’t be completely overlooked .It plays a part in the image we present to the world， and making an effort with your appearance can leave a positive first impression on others and boost your confidence.
Emma，17， senior high school student
Ever since I was little， I’ve been larger than other girls.For a long time， this really bothered me.People would stare at me because I was “big” and I hated the way I looked.My anxiety drove me to try every means possible to lose weight， including dieting and weight-loss pills， but this brought me nothing but pain and poor health.Everything changed when one day I came across the success story of a plus-size model， Tess Holliday.Although she’s larger than most other models， she’s really attractive and has the confidence to be herself — even in an industry full of beauty stereotypes .Her story changed my ideas about what it means to be beautiful.I realised that my health， mental and physical， is the most important thing.Now I exercise a couple of times a week but just to keep fit .I mean， isn’t it better that I’m large and happy， instead of skinny and unhealthy？
Dr Hart says：
I completely agree with Emma — being healthy is beautiful， and we should wear that beauty with confidence.[6]What I really admire is the way she has acknowledged that good health not only makes us more beautiful， but happier， too！
　　[6]本句為主從復合句。What引導主語從句；she has acknowledged ...是定語從句，修飾先行詞the way；that引導賓語從句，作acknowledge的賓語。

一切都關于“我”！
“我”，這個小小的字有著十分豐富的含義。對于我們每個人來說，這個意義就像我們的外表一樣是因人而異的。通過這次采訪，我得以發(fā)現(xiàn)“我”這個字對于其他人的意義，以及他們?nèi)绾螌W會欣賞他們自己的美。
心理學家 哈特博士
杰德，24歲，會計經(jīng)理
正如《丑女貝蒂》里的歌曲所唱的那樣，“這是個看臉的世界”。我比大多數(shù)人都更能理解這句話的含義，因為我一直相貌平平。我是個愛美的女孩。好吧，誰不是呢？所以，自從我發(fā)現(xiàn)自拍軟件能消除我的雀斑，拉大眼睛，甚至削尖下巴，我就用上癮了。我每天會花數(shù)小時修我的自拍照，發(fā)照片，并頻繁地打開手機，迫切地查看評論。照片的每個“贊”都會增強我的自信。爸爸覺得我太自戀，但我的解釋是，我的照片沒傷害其他人，有誰在乎呢？
哈特博士說：
沉迷于修飾上傳網(wǎng)絡的照片，其實是缺乏自信和渴望關注的表現(xiàn)。不管怎樣，杰德呈現(xiàn)給別人想要博取贊美的形象都是虛假的。那些把自己包裝成別人的人，只會對自己產(chǎn)生錯誤的判斷。
安東尼，21歲，大學生
我向來不關心自己的外表。那就是為什么我永遠無法理解我姐姐，她有17支口紅，每天早上都不知道該用哪支好。而我以前只有五條一模一樣的褲子和五件一模一樣的襯衫。當我第一次搬進大學宿舍時，室友看到我每天穿同樣的衣服都十分困惑不解。上個月，他們給我在一個叫《全新的你》的電視節(jié)目中報了名。我最初感覺很奇怪。我不喜歡被人從頭到腳地打量。但經(jīng)過一番裝扮之后，我被自己的美貌震驚了！我人生中第一次發(fā)現(xiàn)，原來自己也可以是個英俊又體面的年輕人。在那一刻，我意識到外在美并非毫無價值。它可以表達我們的個性，也有助于我們給他人留下良好、積極的印象。
哈特博士說：
內(nèi)在美固然重要，但也不能完全忽視外在美。外在美在我們呈現(xiàn)給世界的形象中扮演著重要的角色。努力提升你的外表可以給別人留下積極的第一印象，增強你的自信。
?，?，17歲，高中生
從小我就比其他女孩塊頭大。很長一段時間，我都為此深受困擾。僅僅因為我“塊頭大”，別人就會盯著我看，我討厭自己的樣子。內(nèi)心的焦慮促使我嘗試各種減肥方法，包括節(jié)食和吃減肥藥，但是這樣做毫無作用，反而給我?guī)砹送纯嗪筒唤】档纳眢w。有一天，我偶然讀到大號模特特絲·霍利迪的成功故事后，一切都發(fā)生了轉變。雖然特絲比大多數(shù)模特都壯，但她真的魅力十足，并且有信心做自己——即使是在這個對美的概念有著刻板印象的行業(yè)。她的故事改變了我對美的看法。我意識到，自己身心健康才是最重要的?，F(xiàn)在，我每周鍛煉幾次，只是為了保持健康。我的意思是，我壯實且快樂著，總比瘦卻不健康要好得多吧？
　　哈特博士說：
我完全贊同埃瑪——健康才是美麗的，我們應該充滿自信地接受這樣的美麗。我真正欽佩她的一點是，她認可健康的身體不僅使我們更美麗，而且更快樂！

It’s all about ME！
　　“Me”.It’s a small word with big meaning， and that meaning is
as individual① to each of us as the way we look.[1]Through interviews，
I was able to discover what “me” means to other people， and how
they have learnt to appreciate the beauty② in themselves.
　Psychologist， Dr Hart
As a song in Ugly Betty puts it③， “It’s a pretty person’s
world”.[2]I understand this more than most， as I have always been
plain-looking④. I’m a girl who’d love to look good.Well， who
wouldn’t？ So， ever since I discovered selfie apps that could remove
my freckles⑤， enlarge⑥ my eyes and even slim⑦ my jawline， I have
become addicted⑧.I spend hours every day editing⑨ my selfies， posting
⑩ them and eagerly checking my phone a hundred times for comments
.Each “l(fā)ike” boosts my confidence.[3]Dad thinks I am a
narcissist， but what I say is that my pictures aren’t hurting anyone， so
who cares？
Jade， 24， accounting manager
　　[1]what與how都引導賓語從句，作discover的賓語。
[2]as引導原因狀語從句。
[3]本句為but連接的并列句。在第二個分句中，what引導主語從
句，that引導表語從句。

Dr Hart says：
Obsessive online photo editing indicates a lack of self-confidence
and a desire for attention .However， the image Jade presents to obtain
the praise of others is false.[4]People who pretend to be someone they
are not tend to misjudge themselves.
I never really cared about my appearance.[5]That’s why I could
never understand my sister， who has 17 lipsticks and can’t decide
which one to use every morning.I only used to have five identical pairs
of trousers and five identical shirts.When I first moved into my dormitory
at college， this made my roommates quite confused as they saw me in
the same clothes day after day.Last month they registered me for a TV
programme， A New You.It felt bizarre at first.I didn’t like being
reviewed from head to toe .But I was surprised at how good I looked
after the makeover！
Anthony， 21， college student
For the first time in my life I saw myself as a handsome and well-
presented young man.At that moment， I perceived that external beauty
isn’t totally worthless.It can be an expression of our personalities ，
helping us make a good and positive impression on others.
　　[4]本句的句子主干為：People tend to misjudge themselves.句中
who pretend ...they are not為who引導的定語從句，修飾先行詞
People；在定語從句中，they are not是省略了關系代詞that的定語從
句，修飾先行詞someone。

perceive v.意識到，注意到，察覺到
external beauty 外在美
It’s true that inner beauty is very important， but external beauty
shouldn’t be completely overlooked .It plays a part in the image we
present to the world， and making an effort with your appearance can
leave a positive first impression on others and boost your confidence.
Dr Hart says：
Ever since I was little， I’ve been larger than other girls.For a long
time， this really bothered me.People would stare at me because I was
“big” and I hated the way I looked.My anxiety drove me to try every
means possible to lose weight， including dieting and weight-loss pills，
but this brought me nothing but pain and poor health.Everything
changed when one day I came across the success story of a plus-size
model， Tess Holliday.Although she’s larger than most other models，
Emma，17， senior high school student
she’s really attractive and has the confidence to be herself — even in an
industry full of beauty stereotypes .Her story changed my ideas about
what it means to be beautiful.I realised that my health， mental and
physical， is the most important thing.Now I exercise a couple of times
a week but just to keep fit .I mean， isn’t it better that I’m large and
happy， instead of skinny and unhealthy？
Dr Hart says：
I completely agree with Emma — being healthy is beautiful， and we
should wear that beauty with confidence.[6]What I really admire is the
way she has acknowledged that good health not only makes us more
beautiful， but happier， too！
　　[6]本句為主從復合句。What引導主語從句；she has
acknowledged ...是定語從句，修飾先行詞the way；that引導賓語從

【參考譯文】
一切都關于“我”！
“我”，這個小小的字有著十分豐富的含義。對于我們每個人來
說，這個意義就像我們的外表一樣是因人而異的。通過這次采訪，我
得以發(fā)現(xiàn)“我”這個字對于其他人的意義，以及他們?nèi)绾螌W會欣賞他
們自己的美。
　心理學家 哈特博士
杰德，24歲，會計經(jīng)理
正如《丑女貝蒂》里的歌曲所唱的那樣，“這是個看臉的世
界”。我比大多數(shù)人都更能理解這句話的含義，因為我一直相貌平
平。我是個愛美的女孩。好吧，誰不是呢？所以，自從我發(fā)現(xiàn)自拍軟
件能消除我的雀斑，拉大眼睛，甚至削尖下巴，我就用上癮了。我每
天會花數(shù)小時修我的自拍照，發(fā)照片，并頻繁地打開手機，迫切地查
看評論。照片的每個“贊”都會增強我的自信。爸爸覺得我太自戀，
但我的解釋是，我的照片沒傷害其他人，有誰在乎呢？
哈特博士說：
沉迷于修飾上傳網(wǎng)絡的照片，其實是缺乏自信和渴望關注的表
現(xiàn)。不管怎樣，杰德呈現(xiàn)給別人想要博取贊美的形象都是虛假的。那
些把自己包裝成別人的人，只會對自己產(chǎn)生錯誤的判斷。
安東尼，21歲，大學生
我向來不關心自己的外表。那就是為什么我永遠無法理解我姐
姐，她有17支口紅，每天早上都不知道該用哪支好。而我以前只有五
條一模一樣的褲子和五件一模一樣的襯衫。當我第一次搬進大學宿舍
時，室友看到我每天穿同樣的衣服都十分困惑不解。上個月，他們給
我在一個叫《全新的你》的電視節(jié)目中報了名。我最初感覺很奇怪。
我不喜歡被人從頭到腳地打量。但經(jīng)過一番裝扮之后，我被自己的美
貌震驚了！我人生中第一次發(fā)現(xiàn)，原來自己也可以是個英俊又體面的
年輕人。在那一刻，我意識到外在美并非毫無價值。它可以表達我們
的個性，也有助于我們給他人留下良好、積極的印象。
哈特博士說：
內(nèi)在美固然重要，但也不能完全忽視外在美。外在美在我們呈現(xiàn)
給世界的形象中扮演著重要的角色。努力提升你的外表可以給別人留
下積極的第一印象，增強你的自信。
埃瑪，17歲，高中生
從小我就比其他女孩塊頭大。很長一段時間，我都為此深受困
擾。僅僅因為我“塊頭大”，別人就會盯著我看，我討厭自己的樣
子。內(nèi)心的焦慮促使我嘗試各種減肥方法，包括節(jié)食和吃減肥藥，但

了我對美的看法。我意識到，自己身心健康才是最重要的?，F(xiàn)在，我

Ⅰ.閱讀理解

　　Unlike many other people， who have birthmarks on their bodies， I
have them on my lips and inside my mouth.I used to consider them ugly，
while my mom calls them beauty marks.
　　My birthmarks are caused by a genetic condition from my mom’s
side of the family.This syndrome causes polyps （息肉）， which are
small non-cancerous growths in the intestinal tract （腸道）.Every other
year I have a procedure where the doctor removes them from my
intestines.The day before， I can’t eat anything solid because the
doctors need my intestines to be clear so that they won’t mistake food for
a polyp.I also cannot drink anything red， because they may mistake it for
blood on the scan.Before the procedure they give me anesthesia （麻
醉）.
　　No matter how many times I go through the process， I always get
nervous — but that’s understandable.At the end of the day I always
know I’ll end up okay.
　　My younger cousin faces a similar challenge.She has a huge
birthmark that takes up her whole arm.Her birthmark is pretty noticeable
and looks like faded red splotches （斑點） of paint.She’s never tried to
hide her birthmark or change her appearance.It really inspires me.She has
always been so much more confident about her birthmark than I
am.Once， her grandmother told her mom that her birthmark looked
extremely prominent and suggested that she should wear long sleeves more
often.If my younger cousin’s mom had actually taken that suggestion，
my younger cousin wouldn’t be as confident about her birthmark as she
is.
　　I could have covered up my birthmarks a while ago by wearing black
lipstick.But I’m glad I didn’t.Using black lipstick would be straying
away from accepting outward features that make me different.I am finally
accepting who I am and now I won’t tolerate people making fun of me.I
don’t hesitate when someone asks me about them either.I say，
“They’re beauty marks.”

A. She likes to be different from others.
B. Her birthmarks can be deadly.
C. She should eat some solid food before the operation.

解析： 　詞義猜測題。根據(jù)畫線詞后的suggested that she should
wear long sleeves more often可推知，表妹的奶奶讓表妹多穿長袖衣
服是為了擋住胎記，因為胎記太明顯了。由此可知，畫線詞
prominent表示“明顯的”。apparent明顯的；graceful優(yōu)美的；
harmful有害的；impressive給人印象深刻的。
3. What can be inferred about the author’s cousin？（　　）
A. She has hidden her birthmark.
B. Her confidence encourages the author.
C. She has taken her grandma’s suggestion.
D. She never judges others by their looks.

的這份自信鼓舞了作者。

B. Don’t judge a person by his appearance.
C. Learn to accept who you are.

教育人們要學會接受自我。

　　There is a full-length mirror in my bedroom.I often look into this
mirror before leaving home.A quick look ensures that my appearance is
okay.But how much of the real me does my mirror reflect？ Here， I
intend to recount various instances wherein deceptive appearances have
contributed to prejudicial （有偏見的） attitudes.
　　One of my family’s best friends， David， has Down’s Syndrome
（唐氏綜合征）.Last year， my family joined his family for a day of
skiing.Despite my frequent falls， David was always there to offer
encouraging words， assuring me of my capabilities and teaching me
essential skills such as turning， stopping， and getting up from my
falls.Although David is an outstanding skier himself， he spent his day
ensuring that I had an enjoyable experience， showing strengths that are
not visible in a mirror.
　　At the grocery store where I work every Saturday， there is a lady
who chooses to queue up at my checkout counter.By appearance， she is
dressed differently and walks unsteadily.To some people， she is an
object of joking.Although she may appear unaware of this judgment， I
have noticed that she seeks out my checkout line on purpose while
avoiding those who engage in laughing at her.From her behavior， I see a
lonely person longing for a friendly hello.
　　When I recently visited a nursing home， I encountered a white-
haired lady seated in a wheelchair.Most people just hurried past her.Based
on her appearance， it would be easy to judge her as an “old lady” with
nothing much to do and less to offer.However， it was not until later that I
discovered her remarkable ability to speak three different languages.What
a loss of opportunity for those who judged her by her appearance as a
useless “old lady”！
　　A person’s appearance， like a mirror， reflects only their outer
self.It’s the inner self that we need to embrace.By doing so， we open
ourselves up to valuable connections that would otherwise be missed.

（　　）
A. His passion for skiing.
B. His pity for the author’s incapability.
C. His patient and caring character.
D. His determination to defeat disease.
解析： 　推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段內(nèi)容可知，David一直鼓勵、
陪伴作者，并耐心教他滑雪動作，讓他度過了愉快的一天。由此可
知，David是個很有耐心且關心他人的人。
6. What does the lady at the grocery store want？ （　?。?br/>A. People’s ignorance.
B. People’s acceptance.
C. The jokers’ apology.
D. The author’s attention.

longing for a friendly hello可知，這位女士內(nèi)心深處很渴望得到他人
的認可和接納。
7. What did most people probably think of the old lady in the nursing
home？（　?。?br/>A. Worthless. B. Attractive.
C. Intelligent. D. Poor.
解析： 　觀點態(tài)度題。根據(jù)第四段中的Most people ...as an “old
lady” with nothing much to do and less to offer.可知，人們匆匆從她
身邊走過，認為她是個沒什么用處和價值的老人。
8. What can we learn from the author’s experiences？（　?。?br/>A. Don’t bite off more than you can chew.
B. Two heads are always better than one.
C. Actions speak louder than words.
D. Don’t judge a book by its cover.
解析： 　推理判斷題。根據(jù)作者所列舉的三個親身經(jīng)歷的事例以
及最后一段中的It’s the inner self that we need to embrace.可推知，
作者告訴讀者：不要以貌取人，要去體會每個人豐富的內(nèi)在。

　?。?024·重慶巴蜀中學高二下月考）Her face is framed by wavy
brown hair extensions， her filled lips pursed towards the viewer.It could
be a description of an Instagram post， but the touched-up （修改過的）
beauty is Diana Cecil， an English noblewoman who belongs to a
powerful family at the Jacobean court.Experts at English Heritage have
discovered that her portrait had been altered by restorers to enhance certain
features， suggesting that our modern beauty standards might not be so
modern after all.
　　The great-granddaughter of William Cecil， Lord Burghley， one of
Elizabeth Ⅰ’s closest advisers， Diana was considered one of the great
beauties of her age.Yet it seems a later artist had other ideas.A restorer，
probably in the 19th century， worked on the painting after it was
damaged from being rolled sideways.It seems they also took the
opportunity to alter the noblewoman’s face， enlarging her lips and
lowering her hairline to reduce the size of her forehead.
　　Now， following careful conservation work， Cecil’s original
appearance has been restored， with the full-length portrait-painted by
Cornelius Johnson when Cecil was about 31.The conservation team
discovered the changes made to the Johnson painting after removing a
yellowing layer of oily liquid that had covered its original， more vivid
colours.They also surprisedly found the artist’s signature， and a date
that had been signed in the portrait’s curtain suggesting it was finished in
1634 and not 1638 as previously thought.
　　According to Alice Tate-Harte， a conservator at English Heritage，
it was not uncommon for people to “sweeten” old paintings in the 19th
and early 20th centuries.“Conservation wasn’t a profession， they
weren’t working in institutions with salaries，” she said.“They were
artist restorers and they had a bit more flexibility to prettify and beautify，
whereas we have a lot more ethics today.We must keep our retouching to a
minimum.I hope I’ve done Diana justice by removing those additions
and presenting her natural face to the world.”
