Text 2 The modern cult of beauty is a success in so far as more women retain their youthful appearance to a greater age than in the past. "Old ladies" are already becoming rare. In a few years, we may well believe, they will be extinct. White hair and wrinkles, a bent back and hollow cheeks will come to be regarded as medievally old-fashioned. The crone of the future will be golden, curly and cherry-lipped, and slender. This desirable consummation will be due in part to skin foods and injections of paraffin-wax, facial surgery, mud baths, and paint, in part to improved health, due in its turn to a more rational mode of life. Ugliness is one of the symptoms of disease, beauty of health. In so far as the campaign for beauty is also a campaign for more health, it is admirable and, up to a point, genuinely successful. Beauty that is merely the artificial shadow of these symptoms of health is intrinsically of poorer quality than the genuine article. Still, it is a sufficiently good imitation to be sometimes mistakeable for the real thing. The apparatus for mimicking the symptoms of health is now within the reach of every moderately prosperous person; the knowledge of the way in which real health can be achieved is growing, and will in time, no doubt, be universally acted upon. When that happy moment comes, will every woman be beautiful―as beautiful, at any rate, as the natural shape of her features, with or without surgical and chemical aid, permits The answer is emphatically: No. For real beauty is as much an affair of the inner as of the outer self. The beauty of a porcelain jar is a matter of shape, of color, of surface texture. The jar may be empty or tenanted by spiders, full of honey or stinking slime―it makes no difference to its beauty or ugliness. But a woman is alive, and her beauty is therefore not skin deep. The surface of the human vessel is affected by the nature of its spiritual contents. I have seen women who, by the standards of a connoisseur of porcelain, were ravishingly lovely. Their shape, their colour, their surface texture were perfect. And yet they were not beautiful. For the lovely vase was either empty or filled with some corruption. Spiritual emptiness or ugliness shows through. And conversely, there is an interior light that can transfigure forms that the pure aesthetician would regard as imperfect or downright ugly. There are numerous forms of psychological ugliness. There is an ugliness of stupidity, for example, of unawareness (distressingly common among pretty women). An ugliness also of greed, of lasciviousness, of avarice. All the deadly sins, indeed, have their own peculiar negation of beauty. On the pretty faces of those especially who are trying to have a continuous "good time", one sees very often a kind of bored sullenness that ruin all their charm. I remember in particular two young American girls I once met in North Africa. Form the porcelain specialist’s point of view, they were extremely beautiful. But a sullen boredom was so deeply stamped into their fresh faces, their gait and gestures expressed so weary a listlessness, that it was unbearable to look at them. These exquisite creatures were positively repulsive.Because of skin foods, paraffin wax, facial surgery, mud-baths and paint, ______. A．wrinkles and hollow cheeks will not be foundB．the desirable consummation will be achievedC．curly hair will look medievally old-fashionedD．the elderly women will no longer be able to exist

Millions of aircraft take off around the world every year. The skies they fly in seem limitless—miles of empty space. But, with the number of flights increasing each year, this emptiness no longer exists. Researchers in the world of aviation（航空）are worried about the increasing pressure on pilots and ground controllers. And increasing collisions, occurring at or near an airport, have called attention to the need for more aids（辅助设备）to aviation control. People who travel the skies are not certain about air safety. A great deal of money is spent on new and bigger aircraft and airports to deal with the vast increase in passengers travelling by air. Only a small percentage of this money is spent on navigation（导航）and other aids. Actually, suitable electronic equipment has long existed, and many companies market safety aids designed to make it safer for aircraft to take off, fly any distance, and land, whatever the weather. Yet, there are two problems to be solved. The first is to get governments, airlines and airport officials to agree to basic levels of safety aids. The second problem is to find a way of meeting these basic requirements. But no matter how well the equipment works, operators of the equipment still play an important role. Communications between pilots and ground controllers are extremely important to air safety. It is worth pointing out that the mishearing or misunderstanding of instructions in English and the use of another language, in an international conversation, have led to two recent aircraft accidents. A new type of instrument（仪器）called FLIGHTWATCH would help pilots prevent airport collisions. It would be particularly helpful near airports.The increasing number of flights leads to the fact that ________. There is uncertainty about air safety because ________. The underlined word “collisions” probably means ________. It can be inferred from the passage that ________. flying is no longer limited in the sky,there is no empty space for aids to aviation control,piloting and controlling planes is getting more difficult,the pressure on the ground becomes greater,flying is no longer limited in the sky,there is no empty space for aids to aviation control,piloting and controlling planes is getting more difficult,the pressure on the ground becomes greater,planes become bigger for the increasing number of passengers,money spent on electronic equipment is far from enough,suitable electronic equipment hasn’t been invented yet,it is dangerous for planes to take off or land,planes become bigger for the increasing number of passengers,money spent on electronic equipment is far from enough,suitable electronic equipment hasn’t been invented yet,it is dangerous for planes to take off or land,accidents in which two planes hit each other,misunderstandings between pilots and ground controllers,quarrels among passengers ,breakdowns of new types of instrument,accidents in which two planes hit each other,misunderstandings between pilots and ground controllers,quarrels among passengers ,breakdowns of new types of instrument,governments and officials have paid great attention to air safety,there should be more companies to sell new safety aids,English should be used in an international conversation,understanding between pilots and ground controllers should be improved,governments and officials have paid great attention to air safety,there should be more companies to sell new safety aids,English should be used in an international conversation,understanding between pilots and ground controllers should be improved

Aesop's fable (高言)about the town mice and the country mice concentrates on the dangers of city-|||-living and rather looks down upon its advantages. Yet advantages there are,for mice and men alike, as-|||-long as those involved are able to grasp them.That,though,requires an ability to respond successfully-|||-to new problems.So a pair of researchers in Germany have looked to see whether urban mice are better at-|||-doing this than rural ones. Their couclusion,just published in Animal Behaviour,is that they are.-|||-Valeria Mazza of the University of Potsdam and Anja Gucnther of the Max Planck Institute for-|||-Evolutionary Biollyy capt 17 striped field mice from farmland and 14 others from various places in-|||-central Berlin. They kept these animals in a laboratory for a year to adapt them,and then challenged-|||-them with various tasks which, if perforned successfully, w yield a reward of food. Tasks included-|||-opening the window panes of a house made of LEGO toy bricks;opening the lid of a Petri dish;and-|||-pulling out a roll of paper jammed inside a clear plastic tube.As a control.all the mice were also given-|||-a naturalistic task that involved digging through a collection of bedding to find a reward.-|||-Both groups seemed equally eager to participate in the tasks,but the urban mice were better at-|||-solving the new ones. They had a 77% success rate, to the rural mice's 52%.When it came to the-|||-control task,though,both were equally good, solving it 85% and 88%respectively.-|||-The researehers' next object of investigation is whether the urhan mice had learned their smarts-|||-before their incarceratio (禁闭),or had inherited them, suggesting they were the product of natural-|||-selection acting on their city living ancestors. This will involve raising mice from the two populations in-|||-identical laboratory coud Dr Mazza and Dr Guenther hope to have the answer later this year.-|||-32.Why is Acsop's fable mentioned?-|||-A.To bring in the topic.-|||-B.To make the beginning unique.-|||-C.To support the researchers' idea.-|||-D.To argue against living in the city.-|||-33.What does the underlined word them" refer to in Paragraph 1?-|||-A.The rural mice.

B.Play with LEGO toy bricks.-|||-C.Remove the lid of a Petri dish. D.Dig through a pile of bedding for a reward.-|||-35.What conclusion can we draw from the passage?-|||-A.The country mice are as stupid as the urban mice.-|||-B.The urban mice are born smarter than the country mice.-|||-C.Intelligence is determined more by the environment than by parents.-|||-D.The urban mice are better at adapting to new environments than the country mice.
