1 I. Paraphrase （ 10×4 = 40 ） 1. Preparations were in the air around our house before school was even over. 2. I was squinting because I was in that silent agony that characterized all of my childhood summers, from the time school let out in June to the end of July, brought about by my dilated and vulnerable eyes exposed to the summer brightness. 3. If it did occur to the Greeks to distinguish between a person's “inside” and “outside”, they still expected that inner beauty would be matched by beauty of the other kind. 4. Several thousand years later, we are more wary of the enchantments of beauty. 5. Associating beauty with women has put beauty even further on the defensive, morally. 6. Women are the beautiful sex – to the detriment of the notion of beauty as well as of women. 7. For the ideal of beauty is administered as form of self-oppression. 8. And yet the same revolutionary belief for which our forebears fought is still at issue around the globe 9. United, there is little we cannot do in a host of cooperative ventures. 10. Before the dark powers of destruction unleashed by science engulf all humanity in planned or accidental self-destruction. II. Reading comprehension （ 15×2 = 30 ） TEXT A Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage： Food can be divided into two basic categories：real food and pleasure food．Real food is fuel for the body's needs，while pleasure food， which is high in
fat and sugar,is primarily for taste satisfaction.The categories are pretty obvious.Broccoli is real food.Cookies are in the pleasure group When you are hungry,you are faced with choices.If you aren't suffering from excessive hunger,you can be rational about them.Go to the refrigerator.What looks good?If you have chosen a real food,say,a turkey sandwich,you can be certain your body can use it for fuel.Eat it and enjoy. Two hours later you are hungry again.Back to the refrigerator. What looks good?Ice cream.Stop!Employ your will power just a little.Ice cream is not what 剂 your body needs.Does something else look good?Yes,a piece of toast with peanut butter and a glass of milk sound good too.Okay,go ahead,remembering that high-fat real foods should be eaten in moderation. ·层 One trick is to eliminate pleasure foods from your kitchen.Instead,keep a variety of high-quality foods available at all times.In short,buy lots of delicious real food,food you really like,and get rid of the junk. But what if you have ice cream on hand and nothing sounds good?Although 矩 you don't want to eat pleasure foods whenever the urge strikes,there is a legitimate place for them in your diet.If you have analyzed your feelings and there are no other needs imitating hunger,eat the ice cream.You have not failed.On the contrary, : you have accepted your natural appetite,but not blindly. Surprisingly,when you know you can eat anything you want,and that you never have to put up with unsatisfied hunger again,it takes a lot of pressure off.You will begin to want to eat what your body needs,and your body will begin to need foods that will lead to slimness. 11.Which of the following statements is NOT true? A)The author is against getting rid of pleasure food altogether. B)One can eat the high-fat real foods heartily since it is fuel for the body. 2
