shopping trolley，what would your opinion be？Do you think this kind of body decoration is attractive or ugly？Different people have different ideas.The following are some examples of body decoration from around the world.In many parts of Africa，it is thought that an attractive girl should have really shinny skin.On Bali，a little island in Indonesia，they believe that a beautiful woman or handsome man must have perfectly straight，flat teeth.The Balinese believe that teeth with pointed edges make you look like an ugly wild animal.So when a girl or boy becomes a teenager，he or she is taken to a special person in their village who will file off teeth points to make them smooth and flat.There is no anesthetic(麻药)and this tooth filing is really painful.It is a kind of test.If you can stand it without screaming or crying too much，then you are thought ready to become an adult.In Myanmar，there is a small group of people who are called the “Papaung”They believe that a woman can only be really beautiful if she has a long neck.I mean a VERY long neck.Now you might think that you are either born with a long or short neck and that theres nothing whatever you can do about it.But you would be wrong！At around the age of 5，a Papaung girl has heavy metal rings fitted around her neck，tightly between the chin and shoulders.Each year more rings are added and very，very slowly their weight pushes the shoulders down，in this way making the neck look longer.A Papaung woman will wear her neck rings all her life，never once taking them off.So now Im sure you will all agree that different people have different ideas about what is beautiful.5What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 1?AWomens design.BBeautiful body decoration.CBody decoration.DAttractive decoration.答案C解析段落大意题。第一段讲的是如果你在超市里见到一个剃光头，戴鼻环，胳膊上有纹身并且在购物车里推着一个小孩的女人，你会有什么看法。你认为这样的装饰是有魅力的还是丑陋的？由此可见答案选C。6What does the underlined word “trolley” mean?Aschoolbag BluggageCbasket Dshopping cart答案D解析词义猜测题。由在超市里和 “.she had a small child.”可以推断出，孩子是在购物车里。7Which of the following is NOT true?AMany people think that a woman with a ring through nose is neither attractive nor ugly.BMost African people think that a girl with shinny skin is beautiful.CIt is thought that a beautiful woman should have straight，flat teeth on Bali.DSome people think it beautiful that a woman has a long neck in Myanmar.答案A解析细节理解题。本文并没有讲到人们对于戴鼻环的女人有什么看法，只是举这个例子来说不同的人有不同的观点。所以A项不正确。8What is the best title of the passage?ADifferent Ideas about BeautifulBBody DecorationCWho Is a Beautiful Woman?DWhat Is Beautiful?答案D解析标题归纳题。通过本文介绍巴厘岛和缅甸人对于美丽的不同看法以及文章最后一段中的“.different people have different ideas about what is beautiful.”可以总结出文章的标题是“什么是美丽？”.阅读填空Taking good notes is a timesaving skill that will help you
