第三部 分阅读理解 (共两节，满分40分)
第一节选择题(共17小题；每小题2分，满分34分)
阅读下列短文，然后从各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题 卡上将该项涂黑。
A
For many years, I was convinced that my suffering was due to my size. I believed that when the weight disappeared, it would take old wounds, hurts, and rejections with it.
Many weight-conscious people also mistakenly believe that changing our bodies will fix everything. Perhaps our worst mistake is believing that being thin equals being loved, being special, and being cherished. We fantasize(幻想) about what it will belike when we reach the long-awaited goal. We work very hard to realize this dream. Then, at last, we find ourselves there.
But we often gain back what we have lost. Even so, We continue to believe that next time it will be different. Next time, we will keep it off. Next time, being thin will finally fulfill its promise of everlasting happiness. Self-worth. and of course, 1ove.
It took me a long while to realize that there was something more for me to 1earn about beauty. Beauty standards vary with culture. In Samoa, a woman is not considered attractive unless she weighs more than 200 pounds．More importantly, if it’s happiness that we want, why not put our energy there rather than on the size of our body? Why not look inside? Many of us strive(奋斗) hard to change our body, but in vain. We have to find a way to live comfortably inside our body and make friends with and cherish ourselves. When we change our attitudes toward ourselves, the whole world changes.
56. The passage tries to make the readers realize the importance of ________. A. body size B. culture difference
C. attitude toward life D. different beauty standards
57. The underlined word ―everything‖ in paragraph two means ________．
A. all the problems B. all the efforts C. the whole world D. the total truth 58. What can be inferred about the author? A. The author is a Samoan.
B. The author succeeded in losing weight.
C. The author probably got wounded in wars or accidents. D. The author has been troubled by her/ his weight.
59. According to the author, the common view of those who have lost some weight first and gained it back later is that ．
A. they feel angry about the regained weight B. they don’t care about the regained weight
C. they feel optimistic about future plans on weight contr01
D. they think they should give up their future plans on weight control
B
A baby can quickly damage a new mother’s well-laid plans for getting back to prepregnancy weight and shape．
The constant demands, together with the exhausting effects of interrupted sleep, can make it hard to find the time and energy to exercise or prepare healthy meals.
Here are some tips for common problems new moms face:
Problem：No time to cook proper meals．When you’re caring for a baby, cooking proper meals seems like a luxury. Instead you rely on convenience meals and processed foods.
Solution：Try to get more support. Friends, family members, and neighbors are often delighted to help, so don’t feel you have to do everything yourself. Use the extra time to prepare some healthy meals. Follow the basic rules of cutting down on fat and increasing fruit and vegetable intake.
Problem：Sugary or high-fat snacks. Tiredness can leave you feeling sleepy, run-down, and in need of an immediate help from sweets and high-fat snacks.
Solution：Turn snacking to your advantage. Eat high-fiber, low-fat, low-sugar snacks; these will fill you up without adding too many calories．For an energy boost, eat a banana, which is high in potassium—a mineral essential for muscle and nerve function—or try a handful of raisins(葡萄干), which are high in iron but low in fat. Problem：No time Or energy to exercise．A baby is a constant demand on your time，so you’re too tired or busy to exercise． Solution：Increasing activity levels will help you obtain a net calorie loss，while toning exercises will tighten your muscles. Though you may feel too tired to do any exercise, it is worth persevering because in the long run your energy levels will increase. Involve your baby in your postnatal(产后)exercises; start by walking with the child in a carriage or sling. Swimming is another aerobic exercise that you can both enjoy by joining a mother and baby class. Many pools have childcare facilities, so you can swim a few laps on your own. Problem：Lack of sleep．The new baby interrupts your sleep, depleting your energy and leaving you tense and exhausted．
Solution：Practice some relaxation techniques whenever you have a few free moments. Meditation, visualization, or yoga can help your body recover and give you more energy. 60. What’s the subject of the text?
A. The influence of babies off their mother. B. Weight-loss solutions for new morns. C. The reasons of new moms’ fatness.
D. How to exercise and prepare healthy meals．
61. What’s the common problem that new morns don’t face? A. Living on convenience meals and processed foods．
B. Having sweets to get rid of tiredness and sleepiness quickly． C. That new moms find it hard to have time and energy to exercise． D. Sleeping too long can make them fat．
62. The underlined word“depleting”in the passage means ________.
A. consuming B. disturbing C. accumulating D. saving 63. Which of the following is TRUE?
A. It’s impossible to do any exercise with your baby． B. You can’t swim alone in the pool with a baby. C. Meditation or yoga can make you refreshed.
D. Low-fat and high-fiber snacks will add you too many calories.

We are all interested in equality, but while some people try to protect the school and examination system in the name of equality, others, still in the name of equality, want only to destroy it.
Any society which is interested in equality of opportunity and standards of achievement must regularly test its pupils. The standards may be changed—no examination is perfect—but to have no tests or examinations would mean the end of equality and of standards. There are groups of people who oppose this view and who do not believe either in examinations or in any controls in schools or on teachers. This would mean that everything would depend on luck since every pupil would depend on the efficiency, the values and the purpose of each teacher.
Without examinations，employers will look for employees from the highly respected schools and from
