If a star is someone you can recognize on the street, an idol is someone who will cause a stir at a public appearance.Without fans, an idol is just an ordinary person, like you and me. As Reese Witherspoon once said while announcing the Oscar for best make-up, movie stars look just like people in documentaries(纪录片) if you see them without make-up.I was once invited to a private party where about half of the guests were stars and the other half entertainment reporters. Guess what? The good-looking ones were the reporters because they tend to be young, and they glow without make-up.Some idols are born; some are made. Most idols are created by a machine called the entertainment industry. They may have some charms and talent, but not enough to bee famous. They are the raw material out of which a star, or even an idol, is made. An army of behind-the-scenes assistants will hype(炒作) or even make up their virtues and hide their shortings.Paris Hilton is the kind of star who possesses no real talent but yet is quite well-known. This is the result of endless hype. If you are thrust into the limelight often enough, you can bee a celebrity without having any talent.Television contest shows create a much fairer more transparent platform where young people can pete and showcase their talent. The soap opera is another platform for idol making. These drama series are long, giving an actor much needed exposure. The actors and actresses are always well-lit, made up and beautifully dressed. Now all they need is some good dialogue from the scriptwriter( 编剧). 21. Which of the following statements agrees with the writers viewpoint?A. Most idols are born.B. The entertainment industry is more popular.C. Many stars are often good lookingD. Pop idols are not as pretty as you think. 22. Why does the writer use the example of Paris Hilton? A. To show that hype is an important element in making a star.B. To indicate that Paris Hilton is very famous.C. To prove a star often lacks talent.D . To show a star is popular because of the acting skills.23. What does the writer think of the television contest show?A. More practical B. More formal C. More equalD. More petitiveBOn 8th March this year, events marking International Womens Day (IWD) were held in many countries around the world. In most countries the events have a political tone: they tend to celebrate the advances women have made towards economic, social and political equality with men, and to press for change in those areas of life where there is still progress to be made.In other countries, meanwhile, 8th March is traditionally more about expressing an appreciation of women: itis a day on which men give presents to their wives, girlfriends and mothers, and it therefore has some similarities with St Valentines Day and Mothers Day.Back in 1911, the first IWD events in Austria, Denmark, Germany and Switzerland were certainly political. They were protests by women against forms of gender discrimination that would now be unthinkable in most parts of the world: almost nowhere were women allowed to vote, and Finland was the only country with some female members of a national parliament. The general expectation worldwide, across different continents and cultures, was that women would spend their lives largely in the home, devoting themselves to looking after their husbands and children. The rate of women who had paid employment was far lower than today, and when women did go out to work they typically earned very little, meaning they were economically dependent on men.A century later, gender inequality in employmentparticularly pay inequalityis still one of the hottest issues IWD tries to draw attention to: it remains mon, of course, for women to earn less than men for doing exactly the same job.Limited educational opportunities (there are many countries in which girls generally stay fewer years in school than boys) and domestic violence towards women have also been highlighted by events surrounding IWD in recent years.And yet, as the IWD website notes, alongside the negatives there are plenty of positives. As just one example, to return to the issue of women elected to office, the change over the last hundred years has been significant. Since 1911, when the small group of women in the Finnish parliament (nineteen of them, to be exact) were the only females in public office worldwide, the governments of more than fifty different countries have been led by women. In xx, at least one country in every continent has a female leader, including high-profile examples such as Brazil (Dilma Rousseff), Germany (Angela Merkel) and Australia (Julia Gillard).24. According to the passage, which of the following is true?A. 100 years ago, women were not allowed to work outside.B. IWD is equal to St Valentines Day and Mothers Day in some countries.C. Finland was the first country with female employment.D. Pay inequality is a hot issue for IWD.25. Which word below is closest in meaning to the phrase press for in Paragraph 1?A. preventB. urgeC. expressD. want26. We can conclude from the passage that.A. the progress in gaining equality in the last century seems to be too slowB. the concept of equal pay for equal work is pletely accepted in practiceC. much has been achieved in gender equality, but still there is space for improvementD. one or two female leaders cant stand for womens social status on the wholeCScientists have found that human eyes are more likely to be damaged by UV rays while skiing in the snow-covered areas than sitting on the beach, according to a report by the UK newspaper. The researchers at Kanazawa Medical University, Japan and American pany Johnson & Johnson conducted the study together. They looked at the effects of light reflection on newly fallen snow on a ski trail in Ishikawa District, northern Japan. They pared the results with the levels of UV rays on a sand beach in southern Japans Okinawa District.They found that on the beach, eyes are exposed to a daily 260 kilojoules (千焦耳) of UV a square meter pared to 658 kilojoules in snow-covered areas.The findings are supported by the Japan Meteorological (气象的) Agency. According to the agency, the reflection rate of UV light on beaches is often between 10 and 25 percent, pared to 80 percent in the new snow areas. The amount of light increased 4 percent with a 300-meter rise in height.Most of us know that UV rays can harm the skin. Thats why we wear sunscreen on our skin before we get out in the sun. But many of us may not realize that UV rays are also harmful to the eyes.If your eyes are exposed to large amounts of UV radiation over a short period of time, you may experience a kind of sunburn of the eye, which is harmful. Your eyes will bee red and feel a strange feeling. They may be sensitive to light. Fortunately, this is usually temporary and seldom causes permanent damage to the eyes.Long-term exposure to UV radiation, however, can be more serious. Scientific studies and researches have shown that exposure to small amounts of UV radiation over a period of many years increases the chance of eye damage, which could lead to total blindness.27. You would most likely find the article in_ . A. a doctors diary B. a travel journal C. a medical magazine D. a physics textbook28.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Too much eye exposure to UV rays may cause total blindness.B. Short-time exposure of the eyes to UV rays doesnt harm them at all.C. Most people know that UV rays harm the eyes as well as the skin.D. The study was conducted by researchers from Japan, the USA and the UK.29. Human eyes are more likely to be damaged by UV rays while skiing in the snow-covered areas than sitting on the beach because_ .A. Snow produces more UV light than water.B. People dont wear sunscreen while skiing as they do while sitting on the beach.C. The reflection rate of UV light in snow-covered areas is much higher than that on the beach.D. Human eyes are exposed longer to UV light in the snow covered areas than on the beach.30. What will the passage most probably talk about next?A. Never ski on newly fallen snow in Japan.B. Go to hospital to have your eyes examined.C. Wearing a hat can provide protection while skiing in new snow areas.D. Take some measures to protect your eyes while skiing in new snow areas.第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）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。A recent survey in the United States showed that the average family spent more money on itspets than on its children. Although rather shocking, it should not surprise anyone who has seen the doggy parlors（客厅）where loved pets rest. Are Americans unique in treating their little friends in this way? 31 32 They certainly cost much. Last year the British public spent two hundred million pounds on pet food alone, to say nothing of veterinary(兽医的)bills or animal furniture. It is difficult not to feel angry about this when considering what the same amount could do for victims of starvation and poverty. There are a variety of reasons why I find pets-raising alarming. They cause physical problems. An example of this is New York where they have great difficulty getting rid of the mess that dogs leave on the streets. 33 But in a number of large cities It is a major problem. Another problem is the carelessness of pet owners. Most little children want a dog or a cat and they continually push their parents until they get one. But the parents dont realize how much time and money must be spent on the little friend after its brought home. Then they abandon it. 34 You must have read of children being hurt by pets on the street. Lastly, I would suggest something should be done about it. In my view, its time we stopped being sentimental（伤感的）about pets. 35 This will lead us to discovering cures for serioushuman diseases. A. Many people find this funny. B. Theres no definite answer to that question. C. I can see no reason why we should get upset when animals are cut up for medical experiments. D. Pet foods often contain more vitamins than human food. E. As a result. they are allowed to run free. F. This can be seen when we look at pet foods. G. No. the English too, pay more attention to their pets.第三部分英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分；满分30分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 In England, there is a nice cottage with a large garden where lives an old man.
