1、(7)Unit 4 Looking good, feeling good第一部分 阅读理解(共两节,满分50分)第一节 (共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。A Instead of going on a trip or buying herself new clothes: Xiao Tong from Wuhan, Hubei Province, chose to celebrate her senior high school graduation in a different way. She went to a
2、 beauty clinic to have plastic surgery on her nose. I want to make a good impression and start my university life with a brand-new look, the 18-year-old told the Changjiang Daily. Like Xiao Tong, many young Chinese are anxious about their looks, and more and more subject themselves to plastic surger
3、y. Young people do it for different reasons, and improving self-confidence is one of them. Wang Fang, 18, from Beijing, felt that her eyes were too small. In 2019, after she got admitted to university, Wang had a minor operation done on her eyelids. Before I had the surgery, I had a negative view of
4、 myself. Therefore, I had no confidence, Wang told the Beijing Youth Daily. But Jiang Wenxiu of the Department of Psychiatry, Zhongda Hospital, Southeast University in Jiangsu, advised that people should think twice before going under the knife. Medical beauty apps only show how great plastic surger
5、y can be, Jiang told the China Daily. They leave out all the negative things. Today beauty clinics are well aware that these young students are mostly short of money, so they use summer discounts, installment plans and other ways to attract their attention. Xiao Zhen,17, from Chengdu, Sichuan Provin
6、ce, is one of the victims. She took out a loan(贷款) of about 20,000 yuan to get plastic surgery. But the large sum of money became a big burden. She had to drop out of school and go to work to pay off the loan. Besides the financial burden, potential health risks of plastic surgery also need to be co
7、nsidered. If you have big problems with your look, you should wait until you are a full adult, and then decide if you want to do something about it, Jiang said. Then, with a stable(稳定的) mind, you can consider inner and outer beauty, and whether plastic surgery is for you.1.Why does the author mentio
8、n Xiao Tong in the first paragraph?A.To explain what plastic surgery is.B.To praise her bravery to live a different life.C.To show the popularity of plastic surgery.D.To introduce a new way to start university.2.What does Xiao Zhen lose for her surgery?A.Freedom.B.Education.C.Health.D.Confidence.3.W
9、hat is Jiang Wenxius attitude towards plastic surgery?A.Admiring.B.Worried.C.Cautious(谨慎的).D.Satisfied.B If a president, a philosopher, and one of the best-selling authors of all time praised the same secret for their success, would you try to follow it too? In fact, you probably do it every day. He
10、res what Friedrich Nietzsche wrote: It is only ideas gained from walking that have any worth. Thomas Jefferson wrote: Walking is the best possible exercise. Adapt yourself to walking very far. I totally agree that this habit isnt a habit but a necessary factor of creative process. Are you still sitt
11、ing there reading this? Get walking! The movement aspect of walking is obviously key. Youve probably heard the phraseexercise your creativity, which refers to the brain as muscle. Our creative mindset(思维模式) is triggered(触发) by physical movement, which is exactly why walkingwith your dog, a friend, o
12、r alonehelps creative thinking. Researchers have discovered a lot of connections between walking and producing ideas. A Stanford University study found that participants(参与者) were 81% more creative when walking as opposed to sitting. Besides, the scenery is almost as important as the sweat. Walking
13、can be a catalyst for gaining fresh understanding of problems. Just by going outside, you are stepping out of your familiar surroundings and your comfort zone, which is necessary if you want to open your mind to new possibilities. You can walk through a tree-filled neighborhood. You can walk through
14、 a park and observe peoplehangingaroundor birds singing. Even when youwalkdownabusystreet,you cant help but notice the sweet smells flowingfromafood cartor the child pointing to abuildingyouhadntevenpaid attention to before. Finally, our brains work harder to process in different environments, so wa
15、lking outside strengthen our ability to collect new ideas, to take in new sights, sounds and smells. Forest bathing is a common form of relaxation and medicine in Japan. Recent studies show that being in the forest lowers your stress levels. The effects are so powerful that forest bathing is now a g
16、overnment-proved policy in Japan. But you dont have to live near a forest to receive the psychological(心理的) benefits. Research has shown that immersion(沉浸) in nature, and the disconnection from multimedia and technology increase performance on a creative problem-solving task by a full 50%. So instea
17、d of setting a fitness goal, why not set a creativity goal that starts with walking? Engage more closely with your surroundings. Turn off your phone and give yourself the chance to hear conversations and natural sounds, to notice the way people move, the way the sun reflects in a puddle. Walk not ju
18、st for exercise. Walk for wonder.1.Why does the author mention what the two famous men said in Paragraph 1?A.To provide basic information.B.To show the authors attitude.C.To introduce the topic. D.To present some reasons.2.What can we learn about forest bathing in Japan from the passage?A.Taking a b
19、ath in the forest is relaxing and medically beneficial.B.Walking in the woods is an effective way to get light-hearted.C.The Japanese government encourages everyone to live near a forest.D.Keeping away from multimedia and technology can greatly improve your creativity.3.What does the author advise d
20、oing?A.Setting a fitness goal.B.Solving problems creatively.C.Walking for creativity.D.Exploring new possibilities.4.What does the passage mainly talk about?A.Benefits of walking in nature.B.The secret to success of famous men.C.Ways of building up your creativity.D.Keys to stepping out of the comfo
21、rt zone.C At just 40 years old, hip-hop star Kasseem Dean, more popularly known as Swizz Beatz, has owned a track record, a good lifestyle and nearly $70 million net worth that would inspire most of us to retire(退休) early. So why does Dean continue to both work extremely hard and also attempt projec
22、ts that come with the risk of rejection? During our interview for Uncommon Drive, a video series from USA & Main that seeks to find out the motivations and magic of world-class business people, Dean provided a memorable answer. You only have so much timeonce its gone you dont get it back. Dont focus
23、 on money; focus on building something greater than yourself. If youre not making history, youre wasting your time on Earth,Dean said. When you look at his answer, you will learn two important lessons. The first is in making history. Doing so requires awareness. You must fully understand what has an
24、d has not been achieved in the market youve entered. Dean approaches each effort with the goal of creating something important that has not been done before and will be remembered for its impact beyond his years. The second part of his statement is just as powerful. In this interview, he never once
25、said he was trying to make history. Instead, he has told himself that regardless of(无论) the obstacles, its just going to happen. Im going to make history, Dean said. After talking to Dean for nearly 45 minutes, it was clear to me that he has removed all ego(自负) from a statement that might otherwise
26、be misread as false pride. I believe its a brilliant hackrather than focus on all the reasons why a project cant be realized, he has convinced himself of the possibility.1.What is the function of the first paragraph?A.To lead to the main topic.B.To describe a stars success.C.To express admiration fo
27、r a star.D.To explain the meaning of success.2.What motivates Dean to continue to work hard in spite of success?A.His desire to be famous.B.His life goal to leave his mark on history.C.His wish to get more wealth to help others.D.His adventurous spirit and determination.3.What is Deans point in the
28、second part of his statement?A.Avoiding the obstacles.B.Believing in yourself.C.Doing something new.D.Making yourself powerful.4.Which of the following can describe Kasseem Dean?A.Optimistic.B.Imaginative.C.Persuasive.D.Ambitious.D Who cares if people think wrongly that the internet has had more imp
29、ortant influences than the washing machine? Why does it matter that people are more impressed by the most recent changes? It would not matter if these misjudgments were just a matter of peoples opinions. However, they have real impacts, as they result in misguided use of scarce resources. The fascin
30、ation with the ICT (Information and Communication Technology) revolution, represented by the internet, has made some rich countries wrongly conclude that making things is so yesterday that they should try to live on ideas. This belief in post-industrial society has led those countries to neglect the
31、ir manufacturing sector (制造业), with negative consequences for their economies. Even more worryingly, the fascination with the internet by people in rich countries has moved the international community to worry about the digital divide between the rich countries and the poor countries. This has led c
32、ompanies and individuals to donate money to developing countries to buy computer equipment and internet facilities. The question, however, is whether this is what the developing countries need the most. Perhaps giving money for those less fashionable things such as digging wells, extending electrici
33、ty networks and making more affordable washing machines would have improved peoples lives more than giving every child a laptop computer or setting up internet centres in rural villages. I am not saying that those things are necessarily more important, but many donators have rushed into fancy progra
34、mmes without carefully assessing the relative long-term costs and benefits of alternative uses of their money. In yet another example, a fascination with the new has led people to believe that the recent changes in the technologies of communications and transportation are so revolutionary that now w
35、e live in a borderless world. As a result, in the last twenty years or so, many people have come to believe that whatever change is happening today is the result of great technological progress, going against which will be like trying to turn the clock back. Believing in such a world, many governmen
36、ts have put an end to some of the very necessary regulations on cross-border flows of capital, labour and goods, with poor results.Understanding technological trends is very important for correctly designing economic policies, both at the national and the international levels, and for making the rig
37、ht career choices at the individual level. However, our fascination with the latest, and our under-valuation of what has already become common, can, and has, led us in all sorts of wrong directions.1. Misjudgments on the influences of new technology can lead to _. A. a lack of confidence in technolo
38、gyB. a slow progress in technologyC. a conflict of public opinionsD. a waste of limited resources2. The example in Paragraph 4 suggests that donators should _. A. take peoples essential needs into accountB. make their programmes attractive to peopleC. ensure that each child gets financial supportD.
39、provide more affordable internet facilities3. What has led many governments to remove necessary regulations?A. Neglecting the impacts of technological advances. B. Believing that the world has become borderless. C. Ignoring the power of economic development. D. Over-emphasizing the role of internati
40、onal communication. 4. What can we learn from the passage?A. People should be encouraged to make more donations. B. Traditional technology still has a place nowadays. C. Making right career choices is crucial to personal success. D. Economic policies should follow technological trends. 第二节 (共5小题;每小题
