It is hardly a problem that most of us have to bother as much as we might like to dream that it were the case.Yet the blessings and curses of beauty have been a long-standing interest in psychology. Do those blessed

11、with shiny faces and an attractive body live in a cloud of appreciation or does it sometimes pay to be ordinary?At the most basic level, beauty might be thought to carry a kind of halo (光環(huán)) around it; we see that someone has one good quality, and by association, our deep mind may assume that they ha

12、ve other good ones too.Even in the courts, a pleasing appearance can work its magic. Attractive criminals are likely to get less strict sentences, or to escape punishment entirely; attractive plaintiffs (原告), meanwhile, are more likely to win their case and get bigger financial settlements. “Its an

13、effect seen everywhere,” says Walker.But if beauty pays in most circumstances, there are still situations where it can have opposite results. While attractive men may be considered better leaders, for instance, hidden sexist prejudices (偏見) can work against attractive women, making them less likely

14、to be hired for high-level jobs that require power. And as you might expect, good-looking people of both sexes run into envy one study found that if you are interviewed by someone of the same sex, they may be less likely to employ you if they judge that you are more attractive than they are.More wor

15、ryingly, being beautiful or handsome could harm your medical care. We tend to link good looks to health, meaning that illnesses are often taken less seriously when they affect the good-looking. When treating people for pain, for instance, doctors tend to take less care over the more attractive peopl

16、e.Ultimately, scientists point out that focusing too much on your appearance can itself be harmful if it creates stress and anxiety even for those already blessed with good looks. “If you are crazy about attractiveness, it may affect your experience and interactions,” she says. Its an outdated sayin

17、g, but no amount of beauty can make up for a bad personality. As the writer Dorothy Parker put it so elegantly: “Beauty is only skin deep, but ugly goes clean to the bone.”1、From paragraph 1, we can learn that _.Asome may be bothered by their unattractive appearanceBmost people are not afraid of bei

19、as better leaders.CGood-looking people are often regarded as having many good qualities.DBeautiful criminals are more likely to persuade the judge and win the case.3、The writer mentioned the underlined sentence in the last paragraph to _.Apersuade us to pay more attention to our looks from now onBsu

21、jor airplane manufacturers are now moving to develop the future of flight with electric planes and personal flying vehicles. Boeing is one of those companies. It recently invested in Zunum Aero, a company working to build electric aircraft for commercial flights. Zunum is based in the northwestern U

22、.S. state of Washington. It says it is hoping to revolutionize air travel by cutting flight times and greatly reducing costs. By the early 2020s, the company plans to operate electric aircraft to carry 10-15 passengers on trips up to 1,100 kilometers. It says the cost of such flights could be as low

23、 as $ 25 each way. Zunum noted on its website that, while America has more than 13,500 airports, 97 percent of all air traffic goes through just 140 larger hubs. By traveling through smaller airports, passengers can greatly reduce door-to-door travel time and avoid long security lines. JetBlue was a

24、nother major company to invest in Zunum. The head of JetBlues investment group, Bonnie Simi, said Zunum fits the airlines desire to “seek new technologies to change the game.” She praised the company for developing “quiet, environmentally-friendly aircraft” for sustainable travel. Zunums planes will

25、 be powered by two large engines at the back. The aircraft will be “hybrid-electric,” meaning they rely mostly on battery power, but also bum fuel when needed. The goal is to eventually fly fully electric planes, although most experts believe this could take many years. This is because battery techn

26、ology still has a long way to go to provide long-lasting power, but not be too heavy for the aircraft. Other companies have released plans to release flying cars a lot sooner than that. Slovakia-based engineering company AeroMobil is preparing to show the world its latest model this week. AeroMobii

27、is showing the car at the Top Marques auto show in Monaco. No launch date or prices have been announced, but the company says it will be taking pre-orders this year.1、Electric aircraft may have the following advantages EXCEPT .Alower costs BShorter flight timeCfewer passengers Dshorter security line

28、s2、What is Bonnie Simis attitude toward Zunums electric aircraft?ADoubtful BPositive CUncaring DDisapproving3、Why will Zunums electric planes still need fuel?ABecause fuel is easier to get.BBecause battery may not be stable.CBecause planes wont start without fuel.DBecause battery may not last long e

30、d determine its IQ, as a new research suggests. The study found that children who gain more weight, and whose heads grow quickly during the first month of life, tend to have a higher IQ when they start school.Researchers at the University of Adelaide, in Australia studied 13,800 children who were bo

31、rn at full-term. They found that those who put on 40% of their birth weight in the first four weeks had an IQ 1.5 points higher than those who only put on 15% of their birth weight. Those who experienced the biggest growth in head circumference (頭圍) also had the highest IQs by the age of six.“Head c

32、ircumference is an indicator of brain volume, so a greater increase in head circumference in a newly-born baby suggests more rapid brain growth,” says the led author of the study, Dr. Lisa Smithers.She added, “Overall, newly-born children who grew faster in the first four weeks had higher IQ scores

33、later in life. Those children who gained the most weight scored especially high on verbal (言語) IQ at age 6. This may be because the neural (神經(jīng)的) structures for verbal IQ develop earlier in life, which means the rapid weight gain during the first month could be having a direct cognitive benefit for t

34、he children.”Previous studies have shown the association between early postnatal (產(chǎn)后的) diet and IQ, but this is the first study of its kind to focus on the IQ benefits of rapid weight gain in the first month of life. Dr. Smithers says the study further highlights the need for successful feeding of n

35、ewly-born babies. “We know that many mothers have difficulty establishing breastfeeding in the first week of their babies life,” Dr. Smithers said.“The findings of our study suggest that if babies are having feeding problems, there needs to be early intervention (干預(yù)) in the management of that feedin

(早產(chǎn)兒)Dthe more weight newly-born babies gain, the higher IQ they are likely to have.2、How did the research

37、ers get their conclusion from the study?ABy asking questions.BBy making comparison.CBy having a discussion.DBy referring to documents.3、According to Dr. Lisa Smithers, we can learn that _Aa kids verbal IQ scores reach its highest at age six.Bthis study helps parents find feeding problems.Cquick weig

40、f the University of London in Britain won the award for introducing the idea of “virtual water（虛擬水）”,a calculation method that has changed the nature of trade policy and research.Allan has written seven books and published more than 100 papers.The Stockholm International Water Institute said this id

41、ea is now embedded（埋藏）in the production of foods and industrial products.The institute said Allans work had made a big effect on global trade policy and research, especially in water-scarce（缺水的）regions.“The improved understanding of trade and water management issues on local,regional and global scal

42、es are of the highest value for the successful and sustainable（可持續(xù)的）use of water resources,”it said.“People do not only use water when they drink it or take a shower,”the institute said.“Behind the morning cup of coffee,there are 140 liters of water that was used to grow,produce,package and ship the

43、 beans.”That is about as much water as a person in England uses on average for all daily drinking and household needs.For a single hamburger,about 2,400 liters of water are needed.In the USA,the average person uses nearly 7,000 liters of virtual water every day.It said that was more than three times

44、 the average use of a Chinese person.1、Allan was awarded the prize because_.Ahe wrote seven books on trade policyBhe published more than 100 papers on water managementClie found a new kind of water in water-scarce areasDhe came up with the idea of virtual water2、Which of the following is TRUE accord

To make sense and beauty of it, you have to look at a small part at a time.In using a camera, you choose a small part through he view finder. You move the camera, “framing” p

48、ictures until you see one that pleases you. Then-click! If you make a good choice, your picture will please others, as well as yourself.“Wherever you are,” says photographer Ernst Haas, “you are surrounded by pictures. The trick is to recognize them.” His photograph of a twist of barbed wire shows w

49、hat he means.Mr. Haas tells us of ways to practice seeing. Make a simple frame of black cardboard. Take it out of the doors and look through it at everyday things, large or small, far away or near.At first you may see nothing to interest you. But soon pictures seem to leap (跳) at you through the fra

50、me. Oil floating on water makes a picture in rainbow colors. Three people on the steps of an old house form a picture that seems to tells a story.Did you notice such things before you used the frame? Perhaps not. But, with practice, you soon do not need its help. You see things as artists do. Everyw

51、here, shapes and colors catch your eye. Your mind takes “snapshots (快照)” of their patterns. Then, if you wish, you can share what you see by taking a photograph or by making a drawing or a painting.Sometimes its fun to “see small”. Did you ever notice the design of the seeds in sliced bananas? Have

52、you looked deep inside a lily? Or seen the starburst in the center of a wet ice cube?Do you see colors as they really are? When you paint tree trunks, you would make them brown or black. But tree trunks are really gray, purple, yellow-greenalmost any color except brown or black!Do you notice detail?

53、 Doing so can be in many ways. Remembering what you see is often useful, too. Practice can help you.A trick for helping you to remember detail is the double take. Lookdont lookthen look again.1、What does the underlined word “trick” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?AjokeBmagicChabitDskill2、What does the

54、author want to tell us?AThe better you learn to see, the more alive you are.BWalking in the country, you should look closely at the trunks.CA branch with a few leaves fills the frame with a beautiful design.DClose your eyes and try to remember how it looks.3、Which of the fallowing is true according

55、to the text?AWhen you paint trees, you would make them gray.BGlance at a bill and you remember how it looked.CSeeing is one way of living.DGive a second look and you remember all the detail.4、What is the main idea of the text?AThe world is too big to travel around.BLook aroundand see!CWherever you a
