However, the British, have a reputation ( 名 声 ) for bad teeth. May 14th is National Smile Month in the UK. The Oral Health Foundation hopes that it will make people think about the importance of brushing their teeth regularly, cutting down on sweet foods, and going to see the dentist often. It’s said that the British have the practice “stiff upper lip ( 保持上嘴唇不动)” so that they don’t often show their feelings. They neither smile nor cry. Smiling is sometimes banned under some circumstances since 2005. For example, the British haven’t allowed smiling when taking passport photographs. Another example, at work and school, you simply smile when it’s natural to 5 smile. What about smiling in the UK in general? Do British people smile a lot, or do they look sad all the time? Of course it is not true. When to smile all depends on the situation. For example, you wouldn’t expect anyone to smile at a funeral (葬礼). But if you are at a party of any kind, you’ll find everyone smiling from ear to ear. Smiling is good for you, no doubt about it, even if you do have a few bad teeth. And smiling is good for those around you too. As a famous writer wrote, “A good smile, a kind word, a good-natural smile can work wonders and miracles (奇迹).” 4. The Oral Health Foundation expects the British to do EXCEPT _______ . A. brush teeth regularly B. see the dentist often C. pull out the bad teeth D. cut down on sweet food 5. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “circumstances” in Paragraph 3? A. places B. photos C. conditions D. times 6. From this passage, we can know that ______ . A. smile or not depends on different situations B. British people used to protect their teeth well C. smiling is good for those who have bad teeth around you D. the British have seldom allowed smiling in passport photos (C) Many people dream of travelling into outer space. However, spending too much time in space may cause health problems, according to NASA. That’s why astronauts shouldn’t spend more than six months on the International Space Station(ISS) at a time. Muscle(肌肉) and boneless In a weightless environment, astronauts don’t need to use their muscles to support themselves. Therefore, their muscles start shrinking(萎缩). To keep their muscles strong, astronauts need to exercise about 2 hours each day on the ISS. The weightless environment also causes astronauts bones to lose minerals, with density( 密 度 ) dropping at over 1 percent per month. The rate of bone loss for elderly people on Earth is 1 to 1.5 percent per year. Sleep disorder(混乱) In space, the Sun rises every 90 minutes. It is hard for astronauts to get used to this light-dark 6 cycle when they sleep. Also, they need to sleep in a sleeping bag that is fixed to a wall, which is uncomfortable. Astronauts now have individual sleeping pods(分离仓) that help shut out some of the light. Still, studies have found that most astronauts only sleep about six hours each night, even though they should have eight and a half hours. Brain changes Scientists have found that the position of the brain changes during spaceflight. It shifts upward within the skull( 头 骨 ). This can affect how the brain deals with how we see, stay balanced and move around. That’s why some astronauts can’t control their movement and balance after returning to the earth. Scientists have also found that astronauts may get used to this change after going on more spaceflights. But they still need to do more research. 7. Astronauts suffer muscle problems after returning to the earth because ______ . A. they are too busy to exercise in space B. they don’t have enough room to exercise in space C. they don’t use their muscles in space D. they rarely walk while in space 8. How can astronauts deal with the problem of losing their balance? A. They can walk upside-down on the earth. B. They can go on more spaceflights. C They can take some medicine. D. They can sleep more and rest. 9. What’s the best title for this passage: _______ . A. Dream of travelling into space B. Health problems in space C. Muscle and bone loss in space D. Astronauts in space D Let us imagine how Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen’s most famous work, might be updated, 200 years ago. Austen’s popularity is rooted in her intelligence. But today she would certainly have had a very different life, as would her characters. Here’s my own suggestion. It’s a truth finally and generally acknowledged that a single woman with brains should have equal opportunities to men, however disadvantaged she may feel sexism (性别歧视). “My dear husband,” said his hopeful wife one day. “Have you heard that the local store, standing empty for so long, is taken over by a bright young businesswoman?” Her dull and indifferent (漠不关心) husband replied that he had not. “but it is, it is,” she 7 replied excitedly. Mr. Dull—husband made no reply. “Don’t you want to know her plans?” she cried with some impatience. “Well, my dear, the rumor is that she had already set up a string of successful business in northern England, though how a woman can know anything about that is beyond me. She will move in herself next month.” “What is her name?” “Bingley.” “Is she married or single?” “What a question! And none of your business. But her coming will be a fine thing for our five boys.” “How so? How can it possibly affect them?” “My dear love, those lazy boys need something to wake them up. There are certain to be jobs going.” “Is that her point in settling here? Surely as a woman she has simply taken a fancy to the place.” “Nonsense, my love, how little you’ve noticed the world has changed. She’s got a first-rate degree and some sort of business qualification, I’m told. She surely needs one of our boys! Perhaps you might give her a call.” “Me? No. Perhaps you can take an interest. You still have your looks, after all. She may even offer you a job.” “Oh, that’s not likely. These new chances belong to the younger generation. But now you mention it, I think I’ll go along all the same.” And Mrs. Bennet went wrong. That was 10 years ago. She is now managing director of a FTSE-listed company. … It would remain the case, of course, that Mrs. Bennet would be one of very few women on the company board, that her salary would be lower than her male colleagues, her bonus of a more “female” dimension and her lifespan among the city’s business leaders shorter than theirs. Still, she’d no doubt have enjoyed Davos—and might even have hobnobbed (巴结) with influential figures. 10. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage A. Austen was born 200 years ago. B. Austen rewrote Pride and Prejudice. C. Austen’s success lies in her wisdom. D. Austen’s updated work gains popularity. 11. The underlined part in the passage suggests that Mrs. Bennet _________________. A. had mixed feelings of admiration and surprise about Bingley 8 B. felt kind of worried and doubtful about Bingley C. was quite anxious to meet Bingley D. had a great curiosity about Bingley 12. In the eyes of Mrs. Bennet, Bingley surely needed one of their boys to _________. A. get married to B. work for her C. help her move in D. take over her store 13. What does the writer try to tell us? A. Women with brains can also be as successful as men. B. Women have to pay a high price for success. C. A judge must be made free from prejudice. D. Sexism still exists nowadays. 四、词汇运用 （本大题共 8 小题，每小题 1 分，共 8 分） （A） 根据句意和汉语注释，在答题卷对应题号的横线上，写出单词的正确形式． 1.

These days, the 29-year-old is standing her ground as a superhero. Larson plays Carol Danvers, also known as Captain Marvel, in the movie of the same name. As a superhero, she has many superpowers, such as being able to fly as fast as light. The movie has become a huge success. When Larson was offered the role, she didn’t accept it at the beginning. ‘I am not a person with much confidence. So, I needed a little bit of time to see if I can do it…’ she said. Larson is no stranger to Hollywood, but it’s one thing to win an Oscar and another thing totally to star in a Marvel movie. She had no idea about playing a superhero. There would be lots of promotional (推 广) interviews. Facing all of these, she decided to go out of comfort zone (舒适区). ‘I was going to push myself to do things that I never thought I could do. I challenged myself. ’ she said. Larson trained for nine months. She learned kungfu, practiced weightlifting and so on. But the biggest challenge was that she had to work with a cat – an animal that she was afraid of. ‘I was sick the whole time, but I insisted to work with it by myself. I was fine.’ Varity magazine spoke highly of her acting. By playing Captain Marvel, Larson discovered her own weaknesses and turned them into confidence. Even just watching her recent interviews, one can tell from her body language that she had found something she didn’t have much before.
