When we feel guilty about something, we have to make the necessary changes in our character to prevent aU (27) /U.Unhealthy guilt is a distressful feeling which occurs without reason or persists even after appropriate steps have been taken to deal with a

A person withU (28) /Uself-esteem may react to feelings of guilt, one of two ways: U(29) /Uthat he has done wrong in order to protect his fragile ego; or experience the feeling as aU (30) /Uthat he is just an unworthy person.

20、ality. From their origins as pure workwear, they have spread through every level of the fashion spectrum, and are embraced internationally for their unmatched comfort and appeal.In the mid 1940s, the Second World War came to an end, and denim blue jeans, previously worn almost exclusively as workwea
21、r, gained a new status in the U. S. and Europe. Rugged but relaxed, they stood for freedom and a bright future. Sported by both men and women, by returning GIs and sharp teenagers, they seemed as clean and strong as the people who chose to wear them. In Europe, surplus Levis were left behind by Amer
22、ican armed forces and were available in limited supplies. It was the European populations first introduction to the denim apparel. Workwear manufacturers tried to copy the U. S. originals, but those in the know insisted on the real thing.In the 1950s, Europe was exposed to a daring new style in musi
23、c and movies and consequently jeans took on an aura of sex and rebellion. Rocknroll coming from America blazed a trail of defiance, and jeans became a symbol of the break with convention and rigid social morals. When Elvis Presley sang in “Jailhouse Rock“, his denim prison uniform carried a potent,
24、virile image. Girls swooned and guys were quick to copy the King. In movies like “The Wild One“ and “Rebel Without a Cause“ cult figures Marion Brando and James Dean portrayed tough anti-heroes in jeans and T-shirts. Adults spurned the look; teenagers, even those who only wanted to look like rebels,
25、 embraced it.By the beginning of the 1960s, slim jeans had become a leisure wear staple, as teens began to have real fun, forgetting the almost desperate energy of the previous decade, while cocooned (包围在) in wealth and security. But the seeds of change had been sown, and by the mid 1960s jeans had
26、acquired yet another social connotationas the uniform of the budding social and sexual revolution. Jeans were the great equalizer, the perfect all-purpose garment for the classless society sought by the Hippy generation. In the fight for civil rights, at anti-war demonstrations off the streets of Pa
27、ris, at sit-ins and love-ins everywhere, the battle cry was heard above a sea of blue.（分数：5.00）(1).Jeans were first designed for _.（分数：1.00）A.soldiersB.workmenC.teenagersD.cowboys(2).In the mid 1940s, jeans gained popularity because _.（分数：1.00）A.they made the wearer look clean and toughB.they were c
28、omfortable and looked friendlyC.they were the outward symbol of the mainstream societyD.they stood for freedom and a strong character(3).What does the “real thing“ refer to in the second paragraph?（分数：1.00）A.Authentic Levis.B.Workwear.C.Casual wear.D.Jeans of European style.(4).The popularity of Elv
29、is Presleys way of dressing illustrates that _.（分数：1.00）A.teenagers wanted to look sexyB.people desired to look strong and manlyC.jeans went well with rockn rollD.Americans were more rebellious than Europeans(5).The last sentence suggests that jeans were _.（分数：1.00）A.used for military purposesB.the
30、symbol of the ideal of social equalityC.Worn by all kinds of peopleD.the outfit of social improvementBPassage Two/BThe ethnic group known as Ashkenazim is blessed with more than its fair share of talented minds, but is also prone to a number of serious genetic diseases. Researchers now suggest that
31、intelligence is closely linked to several illnesses in Ashkenazi Jews, and that the diseases are the result of natural selection.Ashkenazim are descended from Jewish communities in Germany, Austria, Poland, and Eastern Europe that date back to the 10th century. Today they make up approximately 80 pe
32、rcent of the worlds Jewish population.Ashkenazim have the highest average IQ of any ethnic group, scoring 12 to 15 points above the European average. They are also strongly represented in fields and occupations requiring high cognitive ability. For instance, Jews of European ancestry account for 27
33、percent of U. S. Nobel science prize winners.But the group is also associated with several neurological disorders, including TaySachs, Gauchers, and Niemann-Pick. Tay-Sachs is a fatal hereditary disease of the central nervous system. Sufferers lack an enzyme needed to break down fatty substances in
34、the brain and nerve cells. Gauchers and Niemann-Pick are similar, often fatal diseases.Because Jews were discriminated against in medieval Europe, they were often driven into professions such as money lending and banking which were looked down upon or forbidden for Christians.Historians suggest that
35、 Jews with lucrative jobs often had four, six, or sometimes even eight or nine children. Poorer families, meanwhile, tended to be smaller, possibly because they lived in over hundreds areas in which children were more prone to disease. As a result, the researchers say, over hundreds of years the Jew
36、ish population of Europe became more intelligent than their gentle countrymen.But increased intelligence may have come at a cost, with genetic diseases such as Tay-Sachs. Being side effects of genes that facilitate intelligence, researchers argue that highly unlikely that mutated genes responsible f
37、or these illnesses could have reached such high levels in Ashkenazim if they were not connected to cognitive performance. While the link is difficult to prove, there is some evidence that Gaucher disease does increase a persons IQ. Around one in three people of working age who were patients of the G
38、ancher Clinic at the Shaare Zedek Medical Centre in Jerusalem had professions requiring an average IQ of more than 120. This group included scientists, academics, physicians, and accountants.Modem-day Ashkenazim are now far more likely to marry outside their ethnic group. A researcher says that he w
39、ould expect a tendency for both higher IQs and associated genetic disorders to become less marked over time.（分数：6.00）(1).According to the first paragraph, Ashkenazim are _.（分数：1.00）A.more intelligent than other JewsB.more likely to be sick than other JewsC.endowed with natural ability because of gen
40、etic diseasesD.more likely to be born with genetic diseases(2).According to the article, Ashkenazim are related to the Jewish people in _.（分数：1.00）A.the whole Europe and Eastern AsiaB.Eastern Europe and a few other European countriesC.Eastern Europe and a few Asian countriesD.Eastern Europe and Germ
41、any(3).Tay-Sachs, Ganchers and Niemann-Pick are _.（分数：1.00）A.diseases caused by absence of an enzymeB.life-threatening genetic diseasesC.diseases that make people more intelligentD.the same disease with different terms(4).The “lucrative job“ may most probably be a job which is _.（分数：1.00）A.profitabl
42、eB.unsteadyC.challengingD.permanent(5).The underlined sentence in Para. 7 roughly means that the researchers believe that _.（分数：1.00）A.mutated genes have a negative influence on Ashkenazims intelligenceB.mutated genes have played a role in Ashkenazims intelligenceC.the Ashkenazims high intelligence
43、is caused by the mutated genesD.the Ashkenazims illnesses have greatly handicapped their performance(6).From the passage, it can be anticipated that in the future _.（分数：1.00）A.Ashkenazim would be less intelligent but healthierB.there would be more outstanding Ashkenazim intellectualsC.Ashkenazim wou
44、ld be more intelligent and less healthyD.the cause of genetic diseases would be explored more deeplyBPassage Three/BSometimes its just hard to choose. Youre in a restaurant and the waiter has his pen at the ready. As you hesitate, he gradually begins to take a close interest in the ceiling, his fing
45、ernails, then in your dining partner. Each dish on the menu becomes a blur as you roll your eyes up and down in a growing panic. Finally, you desperately opt for something that turns out to be what you hate.It seems that we need devices to protect us from our hopelessness at deciding between 57 bare
46、ly differentiated varieties of stuffbe they TV channels, gourmet coffee, downloadable ring tones, or perhaps, ultimately even interchangeable lovers. This thought is opposed to our governments philosophy, which suggests that greater choice over railways, electricity suppliers and education will make
47、 us happy. In my experience, they do anything but.Perhaps the happiest people are those who do not have much choice and arent confronted by the misery of endless choice. True, that misery may not be obvious to people who dont have a variety of luxuries. If you live in Madagascar, say, where average
48、life expectancy is below 40 and they dont have digital TV or Starbucks, you might not be impressed by the anxiety and perpetual stress our decision-making paralysis causes.Choice wasnt supposed to make people miserable. It was supposed to be the hallmark of self-determination that we so cherish in capitalist western society. But it obviously isnt: ever more choice increases the feeling of missed opportunities, and this leads to self-blame when choices fail to meet expectations. What is to be done?
