This skin I have been in for so many years determined my self worth.I had so many factors “against” me in my mind when I was a little girl. I was a tall, thin, dark skinned girl with a gap tooth smile. Growing up, the only role model that I had was my mother, who has beautiful deep brown complexion (肤色). Its amazing how I could find beauty in my mothers complexion but not my own. One of the most outstanding memories of my childhood is the words “Oh, she is so cute for a dark skinned little girl.” People spoke as if I wasnt in the room, as if I couldnt hear.From a young age, I felt ashamed that my black color wasnt good enough, so I buried myself in books to stay away from the mirror. I knew that my education would and could take me further than my looks. I stopped watching TV, absorbed in my studies and I was happy with my decision. Now I have been admitted to my ideal Coppin State University, which is for black students and has a long history.It wasnt until I was at age 16 that I officially decided to fix my deep rooted issue about my dark complexion. I had been brainwashed to subscribe to the European standard of beauty for so many years. I no longer accept this standard, because I set my own. My black is beautiful including my full lips, the wideness of my nose, and the intensity (明亮) of my eyes. I believe that there are plenty of beautiful dark skinned women in the world.21When the author was young, she _.A. realized the importance of good memoryB. didnt mind others saying she was blackC. accepted the European standard of beautyD. didnt think her mother was very beautiful22In childhood how did the author break away from not liking her looks?A. She turned her attention to her studies.B. She watched TV and read books.C. She attended a school for black people.D. She broke all her mirrors.23The author writes the text mainly to tell readers _.A. the change of her attitudes toward her complexionB. varied standards of beauty in different periodsC. how her appearance helped her to succeedD. why she thinks black skin is beautiful阅读理解。There has been a dramatic increase in the number of natural disasters over the past few years, and it is assumed that global warming and climate change could cause even more disasters in the future. Some of the worlds leading cities are facing disasters like floods and heat waves.LondonLondons flood defences are getting older. Since 1982, the Thames Barrier(水闸)has protected the city from the threat of flooding, but it was only designed to last until 2030 and close once every two or three years. About 26 years later the barrier now closes five or six times a year and according to Environment Agency predictions, by 2050 the barrier will be closed on almost every tide if the problem is not addressed.There are 26 underground stations, 400 schools, 16 hospitals, an airport and 80 billion worth of property in Londons flood risk area, so large scale flooding would be disastrous.ParisOver a six week period in July and August 2003, more than 1 1,400mainly elderly peopledied in France from dehydration(脱水)and extremely high body temperature in a deadly heat wave. Heat waves of similar intensity(强度)are expected every seven years by 2050, so what can be done to make sure such a disaster does not happen again?One solution is to have air-conditioners installed in elderly care homes. But this is considered a short-term solution, as the increase in demand for electricity also increases carbon emissions(排放).In Paris the local authorities are encouraging architects to design new types of buildings such as the building “Flower Tower,” which uses a covering of bamboo to act as a natural air-conditioner.ShanghaiShanghai is the fastest growing city on Earth. It has a population of 18 million and is only 4 meters above sea level. Sea levels are predicted to rise by 20 cm within the next century.An estimated 250，000 people move to Shanghai every year in search of work, placing extra demands on energy consumption. China relies heavily on coalfired power stations, but these emissions increase temperatures and, in turn, warmer seas increase the risk of typhoons.24What problem should be settled now in London?AHow to protect the citys propertyBWhere to build its flood defencesCHow to use the Thames Barrier to protect the cityDHow to improve the function of the old flood defences25Which of the following measures cant solve the heat wave disaster in Paris?APutting up new types of buildings with a covering of bambooBHaving air-conditioners installed in elderly care homesCForbidding the city to build“Flower Tower”DEncouraging architects to design new types of buildings26The major threats to Shanghai are Aincreasing population and coal-fired power stationsBrising sea levels and typhoonsCextremely high temperature and rising sea levelsDextra demands on energy consumption and typhoons27The purpose of the passage is Ato tell us how to protect the big citiesBto give advice on how to defend natural disastersCto explain what causes flood and heat wavesDto warn us of the increasing natural disasters in big cities28Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?ABig Cities Facing Big DisastersBBig Disasters in the FutureCThe Increase of Natural DisastersDSolutions to Natural Disasters阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。Mark and his brother Jason both were looking at the shining new computer enviously. Jason was determined not to go against their fathers wishes but Mark was more adventurous than his brother. He loves experimenting and his aim was to become a scientist like his father.“Dad will be really mad if he finds out youve been playing with his new computer” Jason said, “He told us not to touch it.”“He wont find out,” Mark said, “Ill just have a quick look and shut it down.”Mark had been scolded before for touching his fathers equipment. But his curiosity was difficult to control and this new computer really puzzled him.It was a strange-looking machine one his dad had brought home from the laboratory where he worked. “Its an experimental model,” his father had explained, so dont touch it under any circumstances.” But his fathers warning only served to make Mark more curious. Without any further thought, Mark turned on the power switch. The computer burst into life and seconds later, the screen turned into colours, shifting and changing, and then two big white words appeared in the centre of the screen: “SPACE TRANSPORTER.”“Yes!” Mark cried excitedly, “Its a computer game. I knew it! Dads only been pretending to work. Hes really been playing games instead!” A new message appeared on the screen:“ENTER NAMESVOYAGE VOYAGE Marks finger flew across the keyboard as he typed in both of their names.“INPUT ACCEPTED.START TRANSPORT PROGRAM.AUTO-RETRIEVE INITIATED(自动回收程序已启动).”The screen turn even brighter and a noise suddenly rose in volume.“I think wed better shut it off, Mark,” Jason yelled out in terror, reaching for the power switch. A beam(光束) of dazzling white light burst out of the computer screen, wrapping the boys in its glow(光芒)，until they themselves seemed to be glowing. Then it died down just as suddenly as it had burst into life. And the boys were no longer there. On the screen, the letters changed：“TRANSPORT SUCCESSFULDESTINATION: MARS.RETRIEVE DATE: 202529Why did Mark touch the computer against his fathers warning?A. He wanted to take a voyage.B.

They were hidden in the strong light.D. They were carried away to another country.In the United States, 30 percent of the adult（成年人）population has a “weight problem.”. To many people, the cause is clear: We eat too much. But scientific evidence does little to support this idea. Going back to the America of 1910, we find that people were slimmer than today, yet they ate more food. In those days people worked harder physically, walked more, used machines much less, and didnt watch television.Several modern studies, moreover, have shown that fatter people dont eat more on average than thinner people. In fact, some investigations (researches), such as a 1970 study of 3,545 London office workers, report that, on balance, fat people eat less than slimmer people.Studies show that slim people are more active than fat people. A study by a research group at Stanford University School of Medicine found the following interesting facts.The more the men ran, the greater loss of body fat.The more they ran, the greater their increase in food intake(吸收)。Thus those who ran the most ate the most, yet lost greatest amount of body fat.34What kind of physical problem do many adult Americans have?A. They are too slim B. They work too hardC. They are too fat D. They lose too much body fat.35Based on the statistics (数据) given in the article, suppose there are 500 adult Americans, about how many of them will have weight problems?A. 30 B. 50 C. 100 D. 15036Is there scientific evidence to support eating too much is the cause of a “weight problem”?A. Yes, there is plenty of evidence.B. Of course, there is some evidence to show this is true.C. There is hardly any scientific evidence to support this.D. We dont know because the information is not given.37In comparison(比较)with the adult American population today, the Americans of 1910_A. ate more food and had more physical activitiesB. ate less food but had more activitiesC. ate less food and had less physical exercisesD. had more weight problems38What have modern medical and scientific researches reported to us?A.
