19、总题数：5，分数：30.00)BPassage One/BShes cute, no question. Symmetrical features, flawless skin, looks to be 22 years oldentering any meat-market bar, a woman lucky enough to have this face would turn enough heads to stir a breeze. But when Victor Johnston points and clicks, the face on his computer screen
20、 changes into a state of superheated, crystallized beauty. “You can see it. Its just so extraordinary,“ says Johnston, a professor of biopsychology at New Mexico State University who sounds a little in love with his creation.The transformation from pretty woman to knee-weakening babe is all the more
21、 amazing because the changes wrought by Johnstons software are, objectively speaking, quite subtle. He created the original face by digitally averaging 16 randomly selected female Caucasian faces. The changing program then exaggerated the ways in which female faces differ from male faces, creating,
22、in human-beauty-science field, a “hyper-female“. The eyes grew a bit larger, the nose narrowed slightly and the lips plumped. These are shifts of just a few millimeters, but experiments in this country and Scotland are suggesting that both males and females find “feminized“ versions of averaged face
23、s more beautiful.Johnston hatched this little movie as part of his ongoing study into why human beings find some people attractive and others homely. He may not have any rock-solid answers yet, but he is far from alone in attempting to apply scientific inquiry to so ambiguous a subject. Around the w
24、orld, researchers are marching into territory formerly staked out by poets and painters to uncover the under-pinnings of human attractiveness.The research results so far are surprisingand humbling. Numerous studies indicate that human beauty may not be simply in the eye of the beholder or an arbitra
25、ry cultural artifact. It may be ancient and universal, wrought through ages of evolution that rewarded reproductive winners and killed off losers. If beauty is not truth, it may be health and fertility: Halle Berrys flawless skin may fascinate moviegoers because, at some deep level, it persuades us
26、that she is parasite-free.Human attractiveness research is a relatively young and certainly contentious fieldthe allure of hyper-females, for example, is still hotly debatedbut those on its front lines agree on one point: We wont conquer “looks-ism“ until we understand its source. As psychologist Na
27、ncy Etcoff puts it: “The idea that beauty is unimportant or a cultural construct is the real beauty myth. We have to understand beauty, or we will always be enslaved by it.“（分数：6.00）(1).The woman described in the very beginning of the text is _.（分数：1.00）A.in fact in her late twentiesB.Johnstons idea
28、l girlfriendC.a stunning beautyD.is a professional prostitute(2).Victor Johnston synthesized a new face by combining the features of 16 _.（分数：1.00）A.beautiful European womenB.different women around the worldC.casually chosen white womenD.ordinary western women(3).Through a few tiny changes made by J
29、ohnston, the synthesized face became even more _.（分数：1.00）A.masculineB.averageC.feminineD.neutral(4).Victor Johnston has produced such an attractive face in order to _.（分数：1.00）A.give his computer a beautiful screenB.study the myth of human attractivenessC.prove the human capacity to create beauties
30、D.understand why Caucasian faces are special(5).Paragraph 4 suggests that human beauty may be _.（分数：1.00）A.culturally differentB.a disease-free idolC.individual-dependentD.a world agreed value(6).Its a consensus among the researchers that humans are still unconscious of _.（分数：1.00）A.why they look at
31、tractiveB.when attractiveness is importantC.how powerful beauty isD.what constitutes beautyBPassage Two/BIts becoming something of a joke along the Maine-Canada border. So many busloads of retired people crisscross the line looking for affordable drugs that the roadside stands should advertise, “Lob
32、sters. Blueberries. Lipitor. Coumalin.“ Except, of course, that such a market in prescription drugs would be illegal.These senior long-distance shopping strees fall in a legal gray zone. But as long as people cross the border with prescriptions from a physician and have them filled for no more than
33、a three-month supply for personal use, customs and other federal officials leave them alone. The trip might be tiring, but people can save an average of 60 percent on the cost of their prescription drugs. For some, thats the difference between taking the drugs or doing without. “The last bus trip I
34、was on six months ago had 25 seniors,“ says Chellie Pingree, former Maine state senator and now president of Common Cause. “Those 25 people saved $19.000 on their supplies of drugs.“ Pingree sponsored Maine RX, which authorizes a discounted price on drugs for Maine residents who lack insurance cover
35、age. The law was challenged by drug companies but recently upheld by the U. S. Supreme Court. It hasnt yet taken effect.Figuring out ways to spend less on prescription drugs has become a multifaceted national movement of consumers, largely senior citizens. The prescription drug bill in America is $1
36、60 billion annually, and people over 65 fill five times as many prescriptions as working Americans on average. “But they do it on health benefits that are half as good and on incomes that are half as large,“ says Richard Evans, senior analyst at Sanford C. Bernstein, an investment research firm. Wha
37、ts more, seniors account for 20 percent of the voting public.Its little wonder that the May 19 Supreme Court ruling got the attention of drug manufacturers and politicians across the country. The often-over-looked state of 1.3 million tucked in the northeast corner of the country became David to the
38、 pharmaceutical industrys Goliath. The face-off began three years ago when state legislators like Pingree began questioning why Maines elderly population had to take all those bus trips.（分数：6.00）(1).The elderly Americans cross the Maine-Canada border in order to get drags that are _.（分数：1.00）A.sold
39、wholesaleB.over the counterC.less expensiveD.tax-free(2).We can learn from the second paragraph that _.（分数：1.00）A.people can buy as many drugs for personal useB.the cross-border drug shopping has been out of the federal controlC.Chellie Pingree used to be one of the cross-border shoppers for drugsD.
40、the cross-border shopping is the only way for some Americans to get drugs(3).Maine RX mentioned in Paragraph Two is a _.（分数：1.00）A.billB.drug companyC.customs officeD.seniors society(4).Most cross-border shoppers are retired people, rather than working Americans, because the former _.（分数：1.00）A.have
41、 more leisure timeB.fill more prescriptionsC.mostly enjoy long tripsD.are fond of street shopping(5).Politicians were interested in the May 19 Supreme Court ruling because _.（分数：1.00）A.they couldnt improve the well-being of the elderlyB.they couldnt afford to ignore the elderlys votesC.they saw the
42、elderly as the greatest contributorsD.they saw the elderly as deserving a special care(6).David and Goliath are names used to describe a situation in which _.（分数：1.00）A.the two groups are evenly matched in strengthB.a more powerful group is fighting a less powerful groupC.a less powerful group is fi
43、ghting a more powerful groupD.both of the two groups are losersBPassage Three/BIts navel gazing time again, that stretch of the year when many of us turn our attention inward and think about how we can improve the way we live our lives. But as we embark on this annual ritual of introspection, we wou
44、ld do well to ask ourselves a simple question: Does it really do any good?The poet Theodore Roethke had some insight into the matter: “Self-contemplation is a curse that makes an old confusion worse.“ As a psychologist, I think Roethke had a point, one thats supported by a growing body of controlled
45、 psychological studies.In a study I conducted with Dolores Kraft, a clinical psychologist, and Dana Dunn, a social psychologist, people in one group were asked to list the reasons their relationship with a romantic partner was going the way it was, and then rate how satisfied they were with the rela
46、tionship. People in another group were asked to rate their satisfaction without any analysis; they just gave their gut reactions.It might seem that the people who thought about the specifics would be best at figuring out how they really felt, and that their satisfaction ratings would thus do the bes
47、t job of predicting the outcome of their relationships.In fact, we found the reverse. It was the people in the “gut feeling“ group whose ratings predicted whether they were still dating their partner several months later. As for the navel gazers, their satisfaction ratings did not predict the outcom
48、e of their relationships at all. Rather, too much analysis can confuse people about how they really feel.Self-reflection is especially problematic when we are feeling down. Research by Susan Nolen-Hoeksema, a clinical psychologist at Yale University, shows that when people are depressed, ruminating on their problems makes things worse.For years it was believed that emergency workers like police officers and firefighters should undergo a debriefing process to focus on and relive their experiences; the idea was that this would make them fee
