考题 根据以下材料,回答题 Beauty has always been regarded assomething praise worthy. Almost everyone thinks attractive people are happierand healthier, have better marriages and have more respectable occupations. Personal consultants give them better advicefor finding jobs. Even judges are softer on attractive defendants (被告). But in the executivecircle, beauty can become a liability. While attractiveness is a positive factorfor a man on his way up the executive ladder, it is harmful to a woman. Handsome male executives were thought as havingmore integrity than plainer men; effort and ability were thought to account fortheir success. Attractive female executives were consideredto have less integrity than unattractive ones; their success was attributed notto ability but to factors such as luck. All unattractive women executives werethought to have more integrity and to be more capable than the attractivefemale executives. Interestingly, though, the rise of the unattractiveovernight successes was attributed more to personal relationships and less toability than that of attractive overnight successes. Why are attractive women not thought to beable An attractive woman is thought to be more feminine and an attractive manmore masculine (有男子气概的) than the less attractive ones. Thus, an attractive woman has anadvantage in traditionally female jobs, but an attractive woman in a traditionallymasculine position appears to lack the "masculine" qualitiesrequired. This is true even in politics. When the only clue is how he or shelooks, people treat men and women differently,′ says Anne Bowman, who recently publisheda study on the effects of attractiveness on political candidates. She asked 125undergraduate students to rank two groups of photographs, one of men and one ofwomen, in order of attractiveness. The students were told the photographs wereof candidates for political offices. They were asked to rank them again, in theorder they would vote for them. The results showed that attractive malesutterly defeated unattractive men, but the women who had been ranked mostattractive invariably received the fewest votes. Bowman′s experiment reveals that when itcomes to politics, attractiveness ______.查看材料A.turns out to be an obstacle to men B.is more of an obstacle than an advantageto women C.affects men and women alike D.has as little effect on men as on women

考题 A young woman rode with her new husband in a wagon(四轮马车).They came to a log cabin(小木屋).The man shouted and a little boy came running out of the cabin.Sarah,the young woman,got down from the wagon,opened wide her arms and heldthe boy close. "Hello,Abe Lincoln,"she said."I think we′ll be good friends." The new mother with the smiling face went to work at once.She washed Abe and hissister and tidied(弄整齐)their hair.And that night she threw away the boy′s mattress(床垫)of leaves and gave him a soft mattress and enough blankets to keephim warm at night. Sarah wove cloth and made new shirts for Abe.She made him new deerskin trousers and even deerskin shoes. Maybe,if she hadn′t come to the cabin,he wouldn′t have lived to be a man.When Abe′s father told him not to go to school any more and help on the farm,Sarah took Abe′s part against his father.Abe would rather read than eat,and when hisfather told him to stop,Sarah said,"Let the boy read." In 1830 the day came when Abe would leave home to work in New Salem.For the last time she had taken Abe′s part against his father.For the last time she had kept the cabin quiet so that Abe could read.More than twenty years later,when Abe,who had then become famous,was going to make a speech in a nearby town,Sarah went there just to watch him.In the crowd she tried to make herself small,but he saw her,and in front of everybody,got out of his carriage and went overand put his arms around her and kissed her.Yes,that was her Abe. "Heloved me truly,"she said later. Sarah always took Abe′s part against his father because sheA.wanted to please Abe B.wished to be good friends with Abe C.knew Abe didn't love reading very much D.loved Abe truly

考题 问答题The lives of most men are determined by their environment. They accept the circumstances amid which fate has thrown them not only with resignation but even with good will. They are like streetcars running contentedly on their rails and they despise the sprightly flivver that dashes in and out of the traffic and speeds so jauntily across the open country. I respect them; they are good citizens, good husbands, and good fathers, and of course somebody has to pay the taxes; but I do not find them exciting. I am fascinated by the men, few enough in all conscience, who take life in their own hands and seem to mould it to their own liking. It may be that we have no such thing as free will, but at all events we have the illusion of it. At a crossroad it does seem to us that we might go either to the right or the left and, the choice once made, it is difficult to see that the whole course of the world’s history obliged us to take the turning we did.
