Together they eat in the finest restaurants, traveling everywhere around the world by luxurious planes and pleasure ships. They are models. Do you envy them? What sort of life are models leading? Is it a wonderful life for a young lady or a young man? A few models are well-known actors or actresses who can make a lot of money only by showing themselves off in commercials. But the majority of them are just curious to see what it is like. Theyd like to be models just because they are attracted by what they imagine models earn a lot of money and lead a glorious life. This is true for those who are very successful. However, most models find it difficult to get work. Very few can earn enough to live on, and for all models their expenses are high. Their agents claim about 20% of the earnings, and no model will get very far without a clever agent. Besides, they have to buy good clothing. They also have to pay to travel to interviews and reach the places where the work is to be done. Interviews for a model job are known as cattle-markets in the modeling world, and not without a good reason. A top model can choose his or her work, demand and receive high fees and has his or her expenses paid. But for most models, the situation is quite different. And agent or employer inspects each model much as a farmer inspects cattle at a market. Intelligence, qualifications and personal characteristics count for little against good looks and tight figures. For all except the very few lucky ones, the life of a model is a continual search for work, trying to sell himself or herself in the face of fierce competition and, sometimes, not particularly moral standards on the part of some employers. Immigration officials at airport look suspiciously at a girl whose passport shows her occupation as “Model”, and these are men and women of considerable experience of the world. It comes no surprise to find that some models prefer to put “Secretary” or “Businessman” as their jobs in their passports. Modeling is a changeable world with great rewards for a tiny minority but not for the majority.1. For models, their good looks and tight figures are _, compared with their intelligence and qualifications. A. more important B. less needed C. less essential D. more looked down upon2. Which of the following can lead you to believe according to the passage?A. A models traveling expenses are usually paid by his employer.B. To be a model, good looks are the most important qualification.C. Most models have a fairly easy way of life with high pay.D. A model can hardly be successful without a good agent.3.

The underlined word “suspiciously” can most probably be replaced by _.A. doubtfully B. excitedly C. proudly D. sadly参考答案14、ADCA 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。【2013广东省广州市调研测试】 As thousands of communities in the USA especially in the South became booming gateways for immigrant families from Central and South America during the 1990s and the early years of the new century, public schools struggled with the unfamiliar task of serving the large numbers of English learners arriving in their classrooms. Education programs needed to be built from scratch. “We had no teaching resources suitable for English learners here before. We had to develop them all ourselves,” a Texas principal said. Throughout the country, districts had to train their own teachers to teach English to non-native speakers or recruit teachers from elsewhere. School staff members had to figure out how to communicate with parents who spoke no English. But even as immigration has slowed or stopped in many places, and instructional programs for English-learners have matured, serving immigrant families and their children remains a work in progress in many public schools, especially those in communities that are skeptical, or sometimes unwelcoming, to the newcomers. One of the biggest challenges educators face, is communicating effectively with parents who dont speak English an issue that, in part, has contributed to recent complaints of discrimination by Latino students in some cities. “The parents role is very important for the success of these students, but its also one of the most difficult things weve had to tackle,” said Jim D. Rollins, the president of the Springdale school district, where the 19,000-student school system has gone from having no English-learners 15 years ago to more than 7,500 now. “You have to make it a priority and work on it, work on it, and work on it.” Aside from the practical challenges, such as finding bilingual (会说两种语言的) staff members, guiding districts through such dramatic changes requires school leaders to bridge difficult political and cultural divides. For school leaders in the South, especially in the last few years, this difficult job has been made harder still by the negative attitudes of some locals towards immigrants. 36. According to the passage, what is the problem that public schools are facing? A. Handling more cases from the immigrant Mexican communities. B. Offering services to immigrant families in the southern states. C. Offering enough communicative lessons to immigrant parents. D. Providing education for non-native English learners.【答案】D【解析】细节理解题。根据public schools struggled with the unfamiliar task of serving the large numbers of English learners arriving in their classrooms.公立学校目前面临的问题是为那些母语不是英语的学生提供教育，故选D。37. The underlined part “built from scratch” (in Paragraph 2) probably means “_”. A. completely new B. painful to make C. based on past experience D. constructed gradually 【答案】A【解析】短语猜测题。根据We had no teaching resources suitable for English learners here before.因为以前没有过适合英语的初学者的教学资源，所以这个短语应是完全是新的，故选A。38. What is one of the things the school leaders have done to deal with the problems? A. Provide more Spanish-only classes. B. Invite more teachers from other places. C. Train their teachers to speak Spanish. D. Use bilingual
