Several days ago Spanish fashion brand Zara sparked a fierce debate after releasing its latest campaign featuring a Chinese model with freckles (雀斑). Actually, there are some different beauty standards between the East and the West.
In East Asia, freckles might be considered a “destructive weakness” for celebrities, especially actors or singers. Although normal people don’t care that much, subconsciously they might prefer a “clean” face. Generally speaking, freckles are more likely to appear if people are out in the sun frequently, and most East Asian women avoid the sun as best they can.
Having freckles, instead, is a trademark for unconventional beauty in the Western world, and some call freckles “angel kisses”. For most westerners, having freckles is no longer just something you have to live with; instead, it is something to be desired. After all, not everyone is lucky enough to have freckles.
When it comes to eye shapes, it seems Western and Chinese beauty standards don’t see eye-to-eye. Many Chinese think girls with big eyes are the most beautiful. If their eyes have a double-fold eyelid, that is considered perfect. However, most foreigners seem to prefer Chinese girls with slanted (斜的) and narrow eyes and eyebrows. Chinese known model Lyv Yan is often considered the country’s most beautiful by foreigners, while quite a few Chinese people think her appearance doesn’t fit with traditional beauty standards.
Young, girly feature or hot and mature feature Zhao Liying from China, Aragaki Yui from Japan and Lim Yoon-A from South Korea enjoy high popularity in Asia, as they boast bright faces with warm smiles, which win them lots of male fans. The three young celebrities represent Asia’s beauty standards: women with cute, girly features. Most women in Asia try their best to stay young accordingly. Unlike Chinese girls, Western girls think a more mature look shows independence and uniqueness. The superhero Wonder Woman is an ideal type for most.
As ties continue to grow between China and the West, it is unavoidable that these beauty standards develop. But one thing’s for sure-no matter how you look, you are who you are, and that should be satisfaction enough.
4. What do most western people think of having freckles
A It is something unbearable. B. It is a destructive weakness.
C. It is something to wish for. D. It is a symbol of traditional beauty.
5. What do the underlined words “see eye-to-eye” mean in Paragraph 4
A. Have the same opinion. B. Recognize their strengths.
C. Misunderstand each other. D. Argue against one another.
6. Why do western girls prefer to appear mature
A. They think this beauty standard is better. B. They want to look independent and unique.
C. They hope to have high popularity in Asia. D. They admire Wonder Woman very much.
7. What does the text mainly talk about
A. What Zara’s beauty standard is. B. Why Chinese people don’t like freckles.
C. What causes the different beauty standards. D. How easterners and westerners think of beauty.
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. B 7. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了东西方在雀斑、眼型、清纯,成熟等方面的审美观的不同。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段第二句“For most westerners, having freckles is no longer just something you have to live with; instead, it is something to be desired.(对于大多数西方人来说,长雀斑不再是一件必须忍受的事情;相反,它是人们渴望的东西。)”可知,大多数西方人认为有雀斑并不是一件要忍受的事,而是一件非常盼望的事。故选C项。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段二、三、四句“Many Chinese think girls with big eyes are the most beautiful. If their eyes have a double-fold eyelid, that is considered perfect. However, most foreigners seem to prefer Chinese girls with slanted (斜的) and narrow eyes and eyebrows.(许多中国人认为大眼睛的女孩最漂亮。如果他们的眼睛有双眼皮,那就被认为是完美的。然而,大多数外国人似乎更喜欢中国女孩倾斜的和狭窄的眼睛和眉毛。)”可知,有关眼睛的形状问题,很多中国人和西方人看法不同,从而可推知该词组意思是“看法相同”。故选A项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段倒数第二句“Unlike Chinese girls, Western girls think a more mature look shows independence and uniqueness.(与中国女孩不同的是,西方女孩认为更成熟的外表显示出独立和独特。)”可知,西方女孩更喜欢看起来成熟是因为她们想要以更成熟的外表来显得独立与独特。故选B项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段最后一句“Actually, there are some different beauty standards between the East and the West.(事实上,东西方之间有一些不同的审美标准。)”并结合下文介绍的东西方审美的不同可知,本文主要介绍了东西方在雀斑、眼型、清纯,成熟等方面的审美观的不同。故选D项。
C
Efforts to preserve the Amazon rainforest, which supports immense biodiversity and locks away tons of climate threatening carbon, are growing more urgent as the ecosystem’s destruction speeds up. Indigenous (当地的) peoples have been trying to protect the region by patrolling (巡逻) their territorial boundaries for illegal activities. But rapid deforestation continues.
A recent study shows that combining on-the-ground monitoring with satellite data and smartphone technology could help put the brakes (刹车) on Amazon deforestation —and potentially that of forests elsewhere.
Illegal logging, agriculture and coca cultivation particularly threaten the Amazon in the Peruvian Indigenous communities and outsiders are often the culprits (罪魁祸首). The research team wondered if providing training for local people to use satellite based “early deforestation alerts (警报)” could help. The scientists cooperated with 76 Indigenous communities, 36 of which participated in using these alerts to watch over the forest. Over the next two years these trained participants were paid to work as forest monitors and received monthly alerts via the app when satellite data indicated local forest losses. Monitors investigated alerts, patrolled for deforestation in other areas and reported confirmed tosses back to their communities, which decided whether to deal with the culprits on their own or inform state authorities.
The researchers analyzed the same forest-loss satellite data from the given time period in all 76 communities. They found the early-alert program reduced forest loss by 8.4 hectares in the first two year — a 52% reduction compared with the average loss in the control communities.
Experts say this approach to tackling Amazonian deforestation looks promising. “Would this work in all communities that have high risk of deforestation Given the results, it’s worth a try,” says Catherine Tucker, a researcher at the University of Florida. “But some communities may not have access to the resources needed for such a program, or their territories may hold valuable minerals that would increase the risk of deforestation by outsiders despite monitoring efforts,” wrote Francisco Hernandez Cayctano, a community member involved in the research, “we as Indigenous peoples ask the world for support.”
8. Why did the research team conduct the program
A. To stop carbon being locked away. B. To tackle Amazon deforestation.
C. To monitor satellite movement. D. T control illegal activities.
9. How does the community-based monitoring work
A. By offering locals training in using a smartphone app.
B. By combining local monitoring with smartphone alerts.
C. By organizing native people to fight against the outsiders.
D. By equipping local forest with satellite data and monitors.
10. What is Catherine Tucker’s attitude toward the approach to preventing deforestation
A. Pessimistic. B. Objective. C. Approving. D. Sympathetic.
11. Which can be the best title for the text
A. Local Monitors Trained for Forest Loss. B. Satellite Data Cure Deforestation.
C. Outsiders Are to Blame for Forest Loss. D. Smart Patrol Fights Deforestation.
【答案】8. B 9. B 10. C 11. D

“Have you checked the oil in the car ” my father used to say to me, his version of “Hello, hope you are well.” Sometimes our phone calls would begin with an inquiry about the oil and end with an inquiry about the oil, with not a lot in between.
Fathers have a lot of love to give, but it’s often supplied through the medium of practical advice. The affectionate phrase “You made my life better from the moment you were born” may be rarely heard, but there is the more common “I’ll hold the ladder while you get the leaves off the roof.”
Why can’t we fathers just say “I love you” or “It’s great to see you” The point is: That’ s exactly what we are saying. You just have to translate from the language that is Fatherlish. Listen closely enough and the phrase “I love you” can be heard in the lengthier “I could come around Saturday and replace the silicon seal around the base of your toilet because I reckon that thing is getting really smelly.”
When I was 17, I went on my first road trip. My father stood on the corner in the predawn of a cold morning to bid us farewell. “Highways are dangerous,” he said, “so don’t try overtaking anything faster than a horse and buggy. And take a break every two hours. And every time you stop for gas, you really should check the oil.” At the time we thought his speech was funny and would chant “horse-and-buggy” every time I floored the accelerator.
Dad’s long gone now. But after all these years, I realize that had I owned a copy of the Fatherlish-to-English dictionary, I’d have understood that the speech my friend and I so casually mocked was simply Dad’s attempt at affection.
12. According to the passage, how do fathers usually show their affection
A. By inquiring their kids’ car. B. By doing rather than saying.
C. By offering helpful advice. D. By accompanying their kids.
13. Why does the author mention his first road trip
A. To exemplify the unique parental concern.
B. To provide some background knowledge.
C. To explain the reasons for my mocking.
D. To present my father’s funny speech.
14. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. My father has gone somewhere faraway.
B. I regretted making fun of my father’s speech.
C. I owned a copy of Fatherlish-to-English dictionary.
D. My father’s speech got across to me when I was 17.
15. Which words can best describe the author’s father
A. Caring and considerate. B. Devoted and generous.
C. Talkative and humorous. D. Knowledgeable and diligent.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文属于夹叙夹议的文章。文章主要讲述了作者的父亲用实用的建议和实际行动来表达对作者的爱。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文中“Fathers have a lot of love to give, but it’s often supplied through the medium of practical advice.”(父亲们有很多爱可以给予,但通常是通过实用的建议来给予的。)可知,父亲是通过给作者提供许多使用的建议来表达他的爱。所以“By offering helpful advice. ”(通过提供有用的建议。)符合题意。故选C项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Why can’t we fathers just say “I love you” or “It’s great to see you” The point is: That’ s exactly what we are saying. You just have to translate from the language that is Fatherlish. ”(为什么我们的父亲就不说"我爱你"或者"很高兴见到你" 其本质在于:这正是我们所说的。你需要从父亲式的语言中进行领悟。)可知,父亲们是在间接表达他们的孩子的关心;作者讲述自己17岁的那次旅行,目的就是为了表达父亲隐藏的爱。所以“To exemplify the unique parental concern.”(举例说明父母特有的关心)符合题意。故选A项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Dad’s long gone now. But after all these years, I realize that had I owned a copy of the Fatherlish-to-English dictionary, I’d have understood that the speech my friend and I so casually mocked was simply Dad’s attempt at affection. ”(爸爸去世很多年了。但过了这么多年,我才意识到,如果我有一本父亲式语言的英语字典,我就会明白,我和朋友如此随意地嘲笑的那句话,只不过是父亲想表达爱意的一种尝试。)可知,作者在文中使用了虚拟语气“had I owned…I would have done”,可推断出作者是在表达一种遗憾和后悔情感。所以“I regretted making fun of my father’s speech. ”(我后悔嘲笑父亲的话。)符合题意。故选B项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。从文中“Have you checked the oil in the car ”(你检查过车里的油了吗 );“Hello, hope you are well. ”(希望你一切安好);“I’ll hold the ladder while you get the leaves off the roof.”(去取屋顶上的树叶,我帮你扶着梯子。)等这些语言里,可知父亲对孩子很关心,并且为孩子考虑的很周到。所以“Caring and considerate. ”(关心和体贴。)符合题意。故选A项。

第二节
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“Go back, Mom! Go back!” shouted my six-year-old daughter, June. I quickly turned around to cast my doubtful eyes on the back seat, worried I had forgotten her younger sister. I was relieved to see the girls safe and sit in their car seats, but June’s expression was one of pure anxiety. “Mom, we have to go back,” she insisted. “Someone needs our help!”
As I looked back from the driver’s seat, I spotted a young man in rags playing his guitar. His skinny, poor-looking dog rested next to his feet near an old, worn cardboard sign that read, “Homeless, please help.”
We’d come across homeless people before and had talked about their needs and struggles. I should seize the chance to set a good example for my daughters to give a helping hand. So I searched for some cash, only to find I had nothing but credit cards. “I’m sorry, sweetheart, but I don’t have any cash,” I said. “I have some, Mom!” June replied. She opened her little pink purse and pulled out a five-dollar bill. “Oh, good. I’ll pay you back when we get home,” I responded with a sigh of relief. “No. Mom.” she insisted, “I want to help him. I don’t want you to pay me back. I want to give him my money.”
As we drove down the crowded rows of the parking lot, I reassured her that we would get to him.
When we got there. I called out, “Excuse me, sir!” He cautiously walked toward our car and answered, “Yes, ma’am ” “Here you go, sir.” June stretched out her entire body to hand him her five-dollar bill through the window and explained, “I want you to have this.” He smiled and hesitatingly asked, “This was your money ” “Yes! I want you to have it,” she proudly answered. “Thank you,” he said, touched by her thoughtfulness.
We exchanged a smile, and as we drove away, my younger daughter Scarlett began to cry. I hadn’t noticed that she had emptied her purse and was holding two quarters in her tiny hands.

【答案】 “Mom, I wanted to help, too,” she sobbed. I sighed and drove back to where we saw the man. But what could be found was only the guitar leaning against the wall. After 20 minutes’ search, outside a KFC, we spotted the man talking to an old granny with a walking stick. We were so happy that we ran towards him, “ So you are here. I’m looking for you.” said Scarlett.
Now with tears in his eyes, he said in disbelief, “You want to help me ” She said, “Yes, I want to help you as my elder sister did, but I couldn’t find you.” “The old granny wanted to buy food in the KFC, but she had difficulty in walking. So I helped her.” he said. Scarlett said , “You’re so kind. Here is the money that I want to give you.” The man accepted it and said with appreciation, “Thank you. Hope you have a good day.” Then we waved him goodbye and left for home.

Several days ago Spanish fashion brand Zara sparked a fierce debate after releasing its latest campaign featuring a Chinese model with freckles (雀斑). Actually, there are some different beauty standards between the East and the West.
In East Asia, freckles might be considered a “destructive weakness” for celebrities, especially actors or singers. Although normal people don’t care that much, subconsciously they might prefer a “clean” face. Generally speaking, freckles are more likely to appear if people are out in the sun frequently, and most East Asian women avoid the sun as best they can.
Having freckles, instead, is a trademark for unconventional beauty in the Western world, and some call freckles “angel kisses”. For most westerners, having freckles is no longer just something you have to live with; instead, it is something to be desired. After all, not everyone is lucky enough to have freckles.
When it comes to eye shapes, it seems Western and Chinese beauty standards don’t see eye-to-eye. Many Chinese think girls with big eyes are the most beautiful. If their eyes have a double-fold eyelid, that is considered perfect. However, most foreigners seem to prefer Chinese girls with slanted (斜的) and narrow eyes and eyebrows. Chinese known model Lyv Yan is often considered the country’s most beautiful by foreigners, while quite a few Chinese people think her appearance doesn’t fit with traditional beauty standards.
Young, girly feature or hot and mature feature Zhao Liying from China, Aragaki Yui from Japan and Lim Yoon-A from South Korea enjoy high popularity in Asia, as they boast bright faces with warm smiles, which win them lots of male fans. The three young celebrities represent Asia’s beauty standards: women with cute, girly features. Most women in Asia try their best to stay young accordingly. Unlike Chinese girls, Western girls think a more mature look shows independence and uniqueness. The superhero Wonder Woman is an ideal type for most.
As ties continue to grow between China and the West, it is unavoidable that these beauty standards develop. But one thing’s for sure-no matter how you look, you are who you are, and that should be satisfaction enough.
4. What do most western people think of having freckles
A. It is something unbearable. B. It is a destructive weakness.
C. It is something to wish for. D. It is a symbol of traditional beauty.
5. What do the underlined words “see eye-to-eye” mean in Paragraph 4
A. Have the same opinion. B. Recognize their strengths.
C. Misunderstand each other. D. Argue against one another.
6. Why do western girls prefer to appear mature
A. They think this beauty standard is better. B. They want to look independent and unique.
C. They hope to have high popularity in Asia. D. They admire Wonder Woman very much.
7. What does the text mainly talk about
A. What Zara’s beauty standard is. B. Why Chinese people don’t like freckles.
C. What causes the different beauty standards. D. How easterners and westerners think of beauty.

Efforts to preserve the Amazon rainforest, which supports immense biodiversity and locks away tons of climate threatening carbon, are growing more urgent as the ecosystem’s destruction speeds up. Indigenous (当地的) peoples have been trying to protect the region by patrolling (巡逻) their territorial boundaries for illegal activities. But rapid deforestation continues.
A recent study shows that combining on-the-ground monitoring with satellite data and smartphone technology could help put the brakes (刹车) on Amazon deforestation —and potentially that of forests elsewhere.
Illegal logging, agriculture and coca cultivation particularly threaten the Amazon in the Peruvian Indigenous communities and outsiders are often the culprits (罪魁祸首). The research team wondered if providing training for local people to use satellite based “early deforestation alerts (警报)” could help. The scientists cooperated with 76 Indigenous communities, 36 of which participated in using these alerts to watch over the forest. Over the next two years these trained participants were paid to work as forest monitors and received monthly alerts via the app when satellite data indicated local forest losses. Monitors investigated alerts, patrolled for deforestation in other areas and reported confirmed tosses back to their communities, which decided whether to deal with the culprits on their own or inform state authorities.
The researchers analyzed the same forest-loss satellite data from the given time period in all 76 communities. They found the early-alert program reduced forest loss by 8.4 hectares in the first two year — a 52% reduction compared with the average loss in the control communities.
Experts say this approach to tackling Amazonian deforestation looks promising. “Would this work in all communities that have high risk of deforestation Given the results, it’s worth a try,” says Catherine Tucker, a researcher at the University of Florida. “But some communities may not have access to the resources needed for such a program, or their territories may hold valuable minerals that would increase the risk of deforestation by outsiders despite monitoring efforts,” wrote Francisco Hernandez Cayctano, a community member involved in the research, “we as Indigenous peoples ask the world for support.”
8. Why did the research team conduct the program
A. To stop carbon being locked away. B. To tackle Amazon deforestation.
C To monitor satellite movement. D. T control illegal activities.
9. How does the community-based monitoring work
A. By offering locals training in using a smartphone app.
B. By combining local monitoring with smartphone alerts.
C. By organizing native people to fight against the outsiders.
D. By equipping local forest with satellite data and monitors.
10. What is Catherine Tucker’s attitude toward the approach to preventing deforestation
A. Pessimistic. B. Objective. C. Approving. D. Sympathetic.
11. Which can be the best title for the text
A. Local Monitors Trained for Forest Loss. B. Satellite Data Cure Deforestation.
C. Outsiders Are to Blame for Forest Loss. D. Smart Patrol Fights Deforestation.

“Have you checked the oil in the car ” my father used to say to me, his version of “Hello, hope you are well.” Sometimes our phone calls would begin with an inquiry about the oil and end with an inquiry about the oil, with not a lot in between.
Fathers have a lot of love to give, but it’s often supplied through the medium of practical advice. The affectionate phrase “You made my life better from the moment you were born” may be rarely heard, but there is the more common “I’ll hold the ladder while you get the leaves off the roof.”
Why can’t we fathers just say “I love you” or “It’s great to see you” The point is: That’ s exactly what we are saying. You just have to translate from the language that is Fatherlish. Listen closely enough and the phrase “I love you” can be heard in the lengthier “I could come around Saturday and replace the silicon seal around the base of your toilet because I reckon that thing is getting really smelly.”
When I was 17, I went on my first road trip. My father stood on the corner in the predawn of a cold morning to bid us farewell. “Highways are dangerous,” he said, “so don’t try overtaking anything faster than a horse and buggy. And take a break every two hours. And every time you stop for gas, you really should check the oil.” At the time we thought his speech was funny and would chant “horse-and-buggy” every time I floored the accelerator.
Dad’s long gone now. But after all these years, I realize that had I owned a copy of the Fatherlish-to-English dictionary, I’d have understood that the speech my friend and I so casually mocked was simply Dad’s attempt at affection.
12. According to the passage, how do fathers usually show their affection
A. By inquiring their kids’ car. B. By doing rather than saying.
C. By offering helpful advice. D. By accompanying their kids.
13 Why does the author mention his first road trip
A. To exemplify the unique parental concern.
B To provide some background knowledge.
C. To explain the reasons for my mocking.
D. To present my father’s funny speech.
14. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. My father has gone somewhere faraway.
B. I regretted making fun of my father’s speech.
C. I owned a copy of Fatherlish-to-English dictionary.
D. My father’s speech got across to me when I was 17.
15. Which words can best describe the author’s father
A. Caring and considerate. B. Devoted and generous.
C. Talkative and humorous. D. Knowledgeable and diligent.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“Go back, Mom! Go back!” shouted my six-year-old daughter, June. I quickly turned around to cast my doubtful eyes on the back seat, worried I had forgotten her younger sister. I was relieved to see the girls safe and sit in their car seats, but June’s expression was one of pure anxiety. “Mom, we have to go back,” she insisted. “Someone needs our help!”
As I looked back from the driver’s seat, I spotted a young man in rags playing his guitar. His skinny, poor-looking dog rested next to his feet near an old, worn cardboard sign that read, “Homeless, please help.”
We’d come across homeless people before and had talked about their needs and struggles. I should seize the chance to set a good example for my daughters to give a helping hand. So I searched for some cash, only to find I had nothing but credit cards. “I’m sorry, sweetheart, but I don’t have any cash,” I said. “I have some, Mom!” June replied. She opened her little pink purse and pulled out a five-dollar bill. “Oh, good. I’ll pay you back when we get home,” I responded with a sigh of relief. “No. Mom.” she insisted, “I want to help him. I don’t want you to pay me back. I want to give him my money.”
As we drove down the crowded rows of the parking lot, I reassured her that we would get to him.
When we got there. I called out, “Excuse me, sir!” He cautiously walked toward our car and answered, “Yes, ma’am ” “Here you go, sir.” June stretched out her entire body to hand him her five-dollar bill through the window and explained, “I want you to have this.” He smiled and hesitatingly asked, “This was your money ” “Yes! I want you to have it,” she proudly answered. “Thank you,” he said, touched by her thoughtfulness.
We exchanged a smile, and as we drove away, my younger daughter Scarlett began to cry. I hadn’t noticed that she had emptied her purse and was holding two quarters in her tiny hands.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
“Mom, I wanted to help, too,” she sobbed.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Now with tears in his eyes, he said in disbelief, “You want to help me ”
