When Amanda Wanklin and Michael Biggs fell in love, they didn’t realize the challenges they
might face as a biracial couple. Amanda says, “At first we only knew that we wanted together.”They
settled down in Birmingham, England, eager to start a family. On July 3,2006, the black and white
couple got their “one in a million” miracle: Amanda gave birth to fraternal twin (异卵双胞胎) girls with
completely different skin colors, and the greatly amazed parents gave their daughters intertwined names:
one would be Millie Marcia Madge Biggs, the other Marcia Millie Madge Biggs.
From a young age the girls had similar features but very different color schemes. Marcia had light
brown hair and fair skin like her English-born white mother, while Millie had black hair and brown skin
like her black father, who is of Jamaican descent. “We never worried about it; we just accepted it,”
Michael says.
“When they were first born,” Amanda recalls, “people would look at my one daughter and then
look at my other daughter. Then I’d get asked the question: ‘Are they twins?’ ”
“Yes.”
“But one’s white and one’s black.”
According to Amanda, people who commented on the girls weren’t openly discriminatory (歧视的)
or judgmental—just very curious, and thenas time went on, people just saw the beauty in them.
The twins know what racism is. “Racism is where somebody judges you by your color and not by
your true self,” Millie says.
Michael, the father, says he’s faced inequality at times throughout his life because of the color of
his skin. “But it’s a different time now,” he says. Neither he nor Amanda has ever witnessed racist
behavior toward their twin girls.
“When people see us, they think that we’re just best friends,” Marcia says. “When they learn that
we’re twins, they’re kind of shocked because one’s black and one’s white.” But when the twins are
asked about their differences, they mention something else entirely. “Millie likes things that are girlie.
She likes pink and all of that,” Marcia says. “I don’t like the color pink; I’m a tomboy. People should
know about us by our true selves, not by our colors. After all, people are made how they are.”
24. What can we learn from the firstparagraph?
A. Amanda and Michael are of the same race.
B. Amanda and Michael were not happy about the birth of their twins.
C. The possibility of twins with different skin colors is small.
D. It was easy for Amanda and Michael to start a family of their own.英语试卷第 5 页共 10 页
25. According to the passage which of the following is NOT true?
A. Sometimes Michael is unequally treated because of his race.
B. The twin girls see their skin colors as their major difference.
C. People are curious but friendly to the twin girls.
D. People who are racists judge a person by his appearance.
26. How does Marcia react to the people who ask questions about their differences?
A. She never answers them.
B. She is upset about their questions.
C. She answers with their different characters.
D. She tells them about colors.
27. What is the author’s attitude towards racism?
A. Opposed. B. Supportive. C. Indifferent. D. Tolerant.
C
Ten years ago, a typical patient at my plastic surgery clinic in McLean,Va.,was 47 or 48.
Theygenerally wanted to look like a younger version of themselves. This might mean a face or neck lift,
eyelid lifts, a skin-resurfacing procedure or Botox (肉毒杆菌) injections. “What do you recommend?”
they’d ask. This is the kind of work I am expecting to do, and these are the consultations I amexpecting
to give.
Today, my average patient, according to my office records, is 38 or 39. They’ll come in with a
specific “flaw” on their faces and often know exactly what procedure they want. They are pretty sure
that their noses are too big, their chins are too large, or their eyebrows appear dull. And these patients
are much less realistic about what I can achieve.They will askfor Kim Kardashian’s nose, even if their
facial structure looks nothing like hers.
There’s a reason for this rapid and radical change: selfies.The self-taken photograph is greatly
attacking the confidence of many younger people. They come to my offices, show me their selfies and
point to a defect on their faces, which is a totally normal shape to me. Often they will have already
searched online till they’ve found someone with a similar “issue” who fixed it with surgery. Once, a
20-year-old, having studied countless images of herself and searched hundreds of pictures of the ideal
looks she wanted, said she needed a facelift. But to me, no 20-year-old needs a facelift.
Selfies also mislead people about how they look. Smartphone cameras get better each year, but
photos taken at arm’s length or closer often produce a “fish eye” effect: whatever’s at the center of the
photo is bigger, and things on the edge are smaller. A study published in JAMA Facial Plastic Surgery
last year found that selfies make noses look 30 percent larger than they are.
A survey done by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons last year found that socialmedia was
driving more plastic surgery requests than any other social influence: more than TV, movies or
magazines. People are spending more time looking at themselves, in an online environment where
comparisons with others seem inevitable. Academicpsychologist Brian Feinstein, who studied a sample
of 268 college-age adults, has found that the more people use social media, the more they reflect on
their own supposed drawbacks, and therefore causes self-confidence to drop.英语试卷第 6 页共 10 页
28. Why did the author’s typical patients want plastic surgery ten years ago?
A. They were recommended to do so.
B. They were unsatisfied with the faces they were born with.
C. They’d like to look younger than they really were.
D. The author expected them to do so.
29. What can we know about Kim Kardashian?

B. She is a model who has a beautiful nose.
C.She is a doctor of plastic surgery.
D. She is a fan of plastic surgery.
30. What can we learnfromParagraph four?
A. Smartphone cameras can help people take better selfies.
B. Smartphone cameras make people look at their selfies through a fish eye.
C. People usually take photos at arm’s length or closer.
D. Smartphone cameras make people’s faces in a selfie unreal.
31. Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?
A. Selfies Are Weakening Self-confidence.
B. Young People Like to Take Selfies.
C. More People Are Getting Plastic Surgery.

D
Dyslexia(失读症) is a reading and writing disability characterized by difficulties in reading and
spelling, and for some readers to understand what they have read. Experts say dyslexia affects about
five to ten percent of the population of the United States. Researchers have long known that people with
dyslexia write or read words and letters backwards in the wrong order.
But a new study shows that people with dyslexia may have trouble redirecting(重新传入) their
attention between senses, from seeing something to hearing something. Vanessa Harrar of Britain’s
University of Oxford led the study. She reported the findings in the journal Current Biology. The study
suggests that dyslexic people may have trouble moving quickly from what they read to what they hear.
Doctor Harrar calls this a sluggish shifting of attention across the senses.
“So, if you are trying to read something and then trying to listen to somebody who’s reading aloud
and you’re trying to follow along with what they are reading, they have to switch their attention from
hearing what they are saying to looking at the piece of paper and back again.” said Harrar.
She found that people with dyslexia were just as fast as the others when they saw only a picture or
heard only a sound. But the dyslexics had a slower reaction time when they heard a sound and saw a
picture at the same time.
Doctor Harrar feels like playing action video games could help dyslexic people shift from seeing to
hearing more quickly. She adds that images in video games force the eyes to move and focus quickly.
“Video game types of things pop out of here and there, they move your eyes around the screen
quickly in response to things quite quickly, and the more you play a video game the faster you get that
kind of thing. So the video game is really training the attention system to move quickly,” said Harrar.
The study also shows that dyslexic people have the most difficulty going between what they saw
and what they heard, this may have an effect on how dyslexic children are taught how to read. When 英语试卷第 7 页共 10 页
children learn the alphabet, they usually see the letter first and then hear the sound, or they see and hear
the letter at the same time. The study shows that dyslexics might learn more quickly if they hear the
sound of a letter or word first before seeing it.
32. Dyslexic people have the following problems except _________.
A. writing or reading words and letters in the right order
B. redirecting their attention between senses, from seeing something to hearing something
C. moving quickly from what they read to what they hear
D. seeing a picture or hearing a sound
33. What does the underlined word “sluggish” in paragraph 2 mean？
A. Slow. B. Wrong. C. Specific. D. Accurate.
34. Why can playing video games help dyslexic people learn more quickly?
A. Because they will train their reading and hearing.
B. Because they will have a good knowledge of the system.
C. Because they can train the attention system to move quickly.
D. Because they can arouse their interest in reading and learning.
35. What is the importance of the finding?
A. People with dyslexia will be cured by playing video games.
B. People with dyslexia will not be made fun of by others.
C. People will play more video games for dyslexic children.
D. People will know how to teach dyslexic children to read.

根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
“What’s the meaning of life?” People always ask themselves. Actually, many modern people have
the problem that they don’t know who they are and what their purpose is. 36 . Once high
school seniors graduate, they seem to lose their identity. They once studied hard. But after they stop
working, they begin to lose their way.
In the theory of the Hierarchy of Needs( 需 求 理 论 ), Abraham Maslo, put forward a similar
situation, which consists of the five levels of a person’s need. The fifth and final level is self-realization,
which is where our final achievement lies. 37 .
I think self-realization has three major aspects. The first stage is acceptance, the second stage is
discovery and the last stage is perseverance.
Acceptance is the first stage. We should be reminded that we are all born unique, so we all have
our own strengths and weaknesses. Only when we understand these, can we pursue them or change
them. 38 .
Once we’ve accepted ourselves, we can discover what we are interested in and what we want to be.
39 , but indeed we should live for ourselves. So before we start working towards a purpose, we
should ask ourselves “Is this what we truly desire?” and “Is this going to change the situation we’re in?”
The last stage is perseverance. 40 . Those who can self-realize are people who focus
on the things they want to change for a long period of life.
Through the three stages, we could gain recognition of ourselves. And by this point, whatever our
lives were like, we would be able to stand tall, confident of ourselves.英语试卷第 8 页共 10 页
A. It’s nothing to a man of perseverance
B. Being tolerant is the key to acceptance
C. Only by acceptance of the past can we change it
D. This is especially common among college students
E. Many people tend to go along with social expectations
F. It is the process of knowing ourselves and finding a purpose
G. Exploring our potential isn’t going to be done in a short time
