Many times we try to impress others by pursuing self-perfection and self-respect to some extent. I spent much time trying to achieve perfection in every dimension of my life.

Surrounded by a supportive family and a lot of friends, I was a happy kid. But growing up was really   31   and even scary sometimes.

During my childhood, I was constantly involved in something that included people’s viewing my achievements or my   32. I wanted everyone’s praise and acceptance, but I was my own toughest critic (挑剔的).

After I graduated from high school, my   33   to be “thin” began to trouble me. I began trying to diet by   34   my food.

In the beginning, I felt great—attractive and successful, almost superhuman. I even thought that I was better than everyone else. What I didn’t see was that I was slowly   35   myself.

People around me began to   36   my weight loss. They said with concern. “You’re losing too much weight.” “Elisa, you’re so thin.” All their words only suggested that I was getting closer to “  37  ” .

Sadly, I took my physical appearance the first important matter in my life,    38   that it was the way to become successful and accepted.

Then I   39  my food more and more, until a(n)   40   day consisted of half a teaspoon of  nonfat yoghurt and coffee in the morning, and a cup of grapes at night.

But my poor nutrition began to cause me to lose    41  . Then one night, like many nights before, I couldn’t sleep , and my hear t felt   42   it might beat out of my chest. I tried to   43 for help, but I couldn’t. The beating became so rapid and so strong that I could no longer  44  . What I had done to diet 45   caused me to have a heart attack. I stood up, and immediately fell down. I was really   46 , and I knew I needed help. My roommate  47   me to the hospital, beginning the long road to my  48  . It took a lot—doctors, nurses, nutritionists, food supplements.

And most important, a sense of what was true about myself got back on track with reality. I realized th at, with my   49   of trying to be “perfect” on the   50 , I had sacrificed who I was on the inside. What I know now is, we are—each and every one of us—already perfect.

第三部分：阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分，满分40分)

阅读下列短文，从每篇短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

A word has suddenly become wildly popular in China—“Tuhao”—which loosely translated means “nouveau riche”(暴发户). It's connected with everything from the new People's Daily building, to expensive celebrity weddings full of bling(锦衣珠宝), and the new gold-colored iPhone.

In Chinese “tu” means earth and “hao” means rich. To say someone is Tuhao is to imply they come from a poor peasant background, and have become rich quickly—but don't quite have the proper manners to go along with it. It's almost like the term “nouveau riche”, says Professor Steve Tsang at the School of Contemporary Chinese Studies in Nottingham—but has even more negative meanings, suggesting a certain vulgarity(粗俗).

“Tuhao” is actually an old word—dating back perhaps as far as the Southern Dynasty 1,500 years ago —but it has always meant something rather different. During the communist revolution, it was widely used to refer to landholders who would bully(欺侮)those beneath them.

This new usage of the term took off in last September after a widely-shared joke about a rich, but unhappy man, who goes to a Buddhist monk for advice, expecting to be told to live a happier life. The monk replies with the phrase: “Tuhao, let's be friends!”

Chinese Internet users are highly creative in their use of language, and are constantly inventing, and re-inventing words. But in this case, its popularity seems to be down to the fact that it briefly expresses China's changing society so well—many people sneer at those with wealth, but are secretly envious.

51. Which of the following may NOT be considered “Tuhao”?

A. A vulgar nouveau riche.                         B. A bully landholder.

C. A quick-rich peasant without proper manners.        D. A Buddhist monk.

52. The fourth paragraph mainly tells us           .

A. what the new usage of the word is

B. why the unhappy man went to the Buddhist monk

C. how the word becomes popular again

D. what advice the monk gave the unhappy man

53. What is the meaning of the underlined phrase in the last paragraph most simil ar to?

A. undervalue     B. undertake      C. understand     D. underline

54. What is the main idea of the passage?

A. Tuhao is a word popular again in China.          B. Tuhao has a long history.

C. Tuhao is a newly-invented Chinese word.         D. Tuhao is nouveau riche.

B

Instagram is a fast, beautiful and fun way to share your life with friends and family. Take a picture or video, choose a filter to transform its look and feel, then post to Instagram — it's that easy. You can even share to Facebook, Twitter and more. It's a new way to see the world. So many photos of food are contained on Instagram—n ow a pop-up diner in London is taking advantage of this new trend by letting people settle the bill for their meals simply by uploading photos of their dishes to social networks.

I always thought people's taking pictures of their food was kind of silly, but at this new pop-up restaurant(游击餐厅) in the UK, I'd probably do it too. “The Picture House” is the world's first pay-by-photo restaurant—you order, click a photo of the food, share on Instagram and eat for free!

The restaurant belongs to frozen food giant(巨人)Birds Eye, who came up w ith the idea to cash in on people’s addiction with photographing food and sharing the pictures online. They conducted a survey and found out that more than half of the British population regularly took pictures of their meals. So they realized it was a better way to advertise their new dining range.

The pop-up diner was open in Soho, London for three days in May, and is now moving to other major UK cities. They serve two-course meals that customers don’t have to pay for, if they photo and Instagram it.

The restaurant is a part of Birds Eye’s “Food for Life” campaign, a new marketing project that aims at changing the way people look at frozen food.“Taking photos of food enables people to show off and to share their mealtime moments—from the everyday to the special ,”said marketing director Margaret Jobling.

The reaction to The Picture House has been great so far. And the pay-by-picture concept has proven to be an effective way. Alternative payment methods are actually gaining popularity among a lot of businesses. Last year, in a cafe in Germany customers pay by how much time they spend there, not by what they eat.

55. Instagram probably is ____.

A. a restaurant free of charge B. a campaign of “Food for Life”

C. a program used to share photos D. a new marketing project

56. What’s the author’s attitude to this new trend?

A. Confused B. Unconcerned        C. Opposed D. Interested

57.“The Picture House” encourages sharing photos of its food to ____.

A. raise the price of frozen food               B. attract more customers

C. create a new social media trend  D. reward the regular customers

58. Which of the following can serve as the best title for the passage?

A. Pay by Picture   B. The Pop-up Diner

C. No Need to Pay   D. Food for Life

It’s difficult and painful for teenagers to get up in the early morning, which might be called laziness by the parents. But Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.

During the hours when you labor through your work, you may say that you’re “hot”. That’s true. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For some people that peak comes during the forenoon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues(自言自语)as “Get up,John ! You’ll be late for work again !” The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has.

You can’t change your energy cycle, but you can ma ke your life fit it better. Habit can help. Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe you’re sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. Counteract(打乱)your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to.If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This won’t change your cycle, but you’ll get up steam and work better at your low point.

Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a yawn(呵欠)and stretch. Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. Whenever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy for your sharper hours.

59. Which of the following causes family quarrels?

A. Familiar monologues.

B. Not knowing each other’s energy cycle.

C. A change in a family member’s energy cycle.

D. Attempts to control the energy of other family members

60. If you want to work better at your low point in the morning, you should        .

A. change your energy cycle   B. overcome your laziness

C. go to bed earlier D. get up early than usual

61. You are advised to rise with a yawn and stretch because it will         .

A. enable you to get your energy on your routine work

B. help you to control your temper early in the day

C. help to keep your energy for the day’s work

D. keep your energy cycle under control all day

62. What’s the best title of the passage?

A. Save Your Energy   B. Daily Energy Cycle

C. Change Your Habits  D. Temperature and Energy Peak

BEIJING —Eating at a Beijing restaurant is usually an adventure for foreigners, and particularly when they get the chance to order “chicken without sex life” or “red burned lion head”.

Sometimes excited but mostly confused, embarrassed or even terrified, many foreigners have long complained about mistranslations of Chinese dishes. And their complaints are often valid, but such an experience at Beijing’s restaurants will apparently soon be history.

Foreign visitors will no longer, hopefully, be confused by oddly worded restaurant menus in the capital if the government’s plan to correctly translate 3,000 Chinese dishes is a success and the translations are generally adopted.

The municipal(市政的)office of foreign affairs has published a book to recommend English translations of Chinese dishes, which aims to help restaurants avoid confusing translations.“It provides the names of main dishes of famous Chinese cuisines in plain English,”an official with the city’s Foreign Affairs office said. Restaurants are encouraged to use the proposed translations, but it will not be compulsory. It’s the city’s latest effort to bridge the culture gap for foreign travelers in China.

Coming up with precise translations is a daunting task, as some Chinese culinary(烹饪的)techniques are untranslatable and many Chinese dishes have no English-language equivalent(对应词). The translators, after conducting a study of Chinese restaurants in English-speaking countries, divided the dish names into four categories: ingredients, cooking method, taste and name of a person or a place. For some traditional dishes, pinyin, the Chinese phonetic system, is used, such as mapo tofu (previously often literally translated as “bean curd made by woman with freckles”), baozi (steamed stuffed bun) and jiaozi (dumplings) to “reflect the Chinese cuisine culture,” according to the book.

“The book is a blessing to tourist guides like me . Having it, I don’t have to rack my brains trying to explain Chinese dishes to foreign travelers,” said Zheng Xiaodong, a 31- year – old employee with a Beijing-based travel agency.

It is not clear if the book will be introduced to other parts of China. But on Tuesday, this was the most discussed topic on weibo.com, China’s most popular micro blogging site.

63. “chicken without sex life” or “red burned lion head” are mentioned in the beginning of the passage to show__________.

A. some Chinese dishes are mistranslated.

B . some Chinese dishes are hard to translate.

C. some Chinese dishes are not well received.

D. some Chinese dishes are not acceptable.

64. What measure has the municipal office taken?

A. Recommending a book on Chinese dishes

B. Publishing a book on China’s dietary habits

C. Advocating using precise translation for Chinese dishes

D. Providing the names of main Chinese dishes

65. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “daunting” in paragraph 5?

A. disappointing       B. discouraging   C. confusing       D. worthwhile

66. What’s the attitude of most people to the book according to the passage?

A. unconcerned    B. excited        C. divided          D. favorable

It’s wrongly spread that colds are caused by cold. Actually, they are not. They are caused by viruses passing on from person to person. You catch a cold by coming into contact, directly or indirectly, with someone who already has one. If cold causes colds, it would be reasonable to expect the Eskimos to suffer from them forever. But they do not. And in isolated Arctic regions explorers have reported being free from colds until coming into contact again with infected people from the outside world by way of packages and mail dropped from airplanes.

During the First World War, soldiers who spent long periods in the trenches(战壕), cold and wet, showed no increased tendency to catch colds. In the Second World War, prisoners at the notorious Auschwitz Concentration Camp(奥斯维辛集中营), naked and starving, were astonished to find that they seldom had colds.

At the Common Cold Research Unit in England, volunteers took part in experiments in which they gave themselves to the discomforts of being cold and wet for long stretches of time. After taking hot baths, they put on bathing suits, allowed themselves to be with cold water, and then stood about dripping wet in drafty (通风的)room. Some wore wet socks all day while others exercised in the rain until close to exhaustion. Not one of the volunteers came down with a cold unless a cold virus was actually dropped in his nose.

If, then, cold and wet have nothing to do with catching colds, why are they more frequent in the winter? Despite the most pains-taking research, no one has yet found the answer. One explanation offered by scientists is that people tend to stay together indoors more in cold weather than at other times, and this makes it easier for cold viruses to be passed on.

No one has yet found a cure for the cold. There are drugs and pain suppressors(止痛片) such as aspirin, but all they do is to relieve the symptoms.

67. The writer offered _______ examples to support his argument.

A.3        B. 4        C. 5        D. 6

68. Which of the following does not agree with the chosen passage?

A. Colds are not caused by cold.

B. The Eskimos suffer from colds all the time.

C. People suffer from colds just because they like to stay indoors.

D. A person may catch a cold by touching someone who already had one.

69. Arctic explorers may catch colds when ________.

A. they are coming into touch again with the outside world.

B. they are writing reports in terribly cold weather.

C. they are allowed to be with cold water.

D. they are working in the isolated Arctic regions.

70. Th e passage mainly discusses ________.

A. the experiments on the common cold .

B. the reason and the way people catch cold.

C. the mistaken belief about the common cold.

D. the continued spread of common cold.
