第一节 阅读理解  (共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分)

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，并把答案根据题号涂到答题卡上。

A

If you are walking around a supermarket and see a woman with a shaved head, a ring through her nose, a tattoo(纹身) design on her arm and she has a small child in her shopping trolley, what would your opinion be? Do you think this kind of body decoration is attractive or ugly? Different people have different ideas. The following are some examples of body decoration from around the world.

In many parts of Africa, it is thought that an attractive girl should have really shinny skin.

On Bali, a little island in Indonesia, they believe that a beautiful woman or handsome man must have perfectly straight, flat teeth. The Balinese believe that teeth with pointed edges make you look like an ugly wild animal. So when a girl or boy becomes a teenager, he or she is taken to a special person in their village who will file(锉去) off teeth points to make them smooth and flat. There is no anesthetic(麻药) and this tooth filing is really painful. It is a kind of test. If you can stand it without screaming or crying too much, then you are thought ready to become an adult.

In Myanmar, there is a small group of people who are called the “Papaung”. They believe that a woman can only be really beautiful if she has a long neck. I mean a VERY long neck. Now you might think that you are either born with a long or short neck and that there’s nothing whatever you can do about it. But you would be wrong! At around the age of 5, a Papaung girl has heavy metal rings fitted around her neck, tightly between the chin and shoulders. Each year more rings are added and very, very slowly their weight pushes the shoulders down, in this way making the neck look longer. A Papaung woman will wear her neck rings all her life, never once taking them off.

So now I’m sure you will all agree that different people have different ideas about what is beautiful.

66. What is mainly talked about in paragraph one?

A. Women’s design.    B. Beautiful body decoration.

While teaching methods may be different and pupils spend a very long day in Chinese middle school, the facilities and equipment in some schools go ahead of those in many schools that I’ve seen elsewhere.

My experience is somewhat limited to city schools in major cities in Guangdong Province which are not necessarily representative of schools in the Chinese countryside or elsewhere in China.

I was impressed with the teacher’s desks in particular. Desks seemed to be designed for each type of classroom with built-in technology and wired to control the “environment” in the classroom. By this I mean projector controls, PC controls for pupil monitors, sound systems, electric screens rather than blackboards, etc. Many classrooms had microphone systems to enlarge the teachers’ voice as classes of 60 or more pupils were common. These classrooms were well equipped but there was limited room for books and bags as the desks were small and mostly in pairs.

There were a large number of well-equipped laboratories with their own preparation rooms and warehouses(仓库) for physics, chemistry and biology, etc. The chemistry and biology labs had air exchange systems at each position to remove harmful gases produced in experiments. The biology labs were extremely well equipped with jars of specimens(标本).

An interesting thing was the use of CCTV cameras(闭路电视监控) which were explained to be used during exams to monitor cheating.

The library had a wide selection of books and there was a special classroom, called the LA suite, which not only had a laboratory but also a “chatting” area for oral skills practice.

Overall I was really very impressed by the modern teaching equipment in those Chinese schools.

71. Which of the following statements about Chinese schools is NOT correct?

A. Their teaching methods are different from those of other

schools’.

B. Their students spend much time on study every day when in

school.

C. Schools in the countryside of Guangdong Province are also

well equipped.

D. The equipment in some schools is better than that of other

schools elsewhere.

72. According to the third paragraph, what’s the problem with those classrooms?

A. The environments changed too often.

B. The teachers’ desks were hard to control.

C. They were too crowded for 60 or more pupils.

D. They were so big that teachers couldn’t be well heard.

73. What can we know from the fourth paragraph?

A. The author liked the biology labs most.

B. Students did physics experiments most frequently.

C. It’s dangerous to do chemical experiments indoors.

D. Doing chemical or biology experiments may cause air

pollution.

74. CCTV cameras were used in order to ______.

A. increase students’ interest in study

B. monitor students’ behavior in class

C. play educational programs for students

D. monitor whether there are students cheating in exams

75. Which class is most suitable to be held in the LA suite?

A. Biology.    B. English.   C. Physics.    D. History.
