1、高等院校英语入学分级测试三级分类模拟题 4 及答案解析(总分：100.00，做题时间：90 分钟)一、Fast Reading(总题数：1，分数：20.00)Bodies Under ConstructionThree years ago, when a 15-year-old British girl decided to get breast implants(隆胸) for her sixteenth birthday, the story made headlines around the world. Since then, media reports have continued

2、to speculate (猜测) that cosmetic surgery, once the exclusive domain of wealthy older women, is a trendy new option for any teenager with an adolescent hang-up (烦恼). Dr. Darrick Antell, a top New York City plastic surgeon(整形外科医生), says he has seen an increase in the number of teenage patients but caut

3、ions against calling it a trend. “One of the main reasons for the increase is visibility: today“s teenagers are growing up with parents who have had cosmetic surgery, so they see and hear about it more. The media has also done a good job of making people aware of the procedures available. Another re

4、ason is acceptability. In a way, plastic surgery has come out of the closet,“ Dr. Antell says. When details of cosmetic procedures are frequently discussed on talk shows and published in magazines, it“s not surprising that they filter into our consciousness: “Sometimes when I“m out to dinner with my

5、 friends, we“ll play a game called “What would you have done?“ where we sort of daydream and discuss what we would do if money was no object and the procedures were safe,“ says 18-year-old Alison Preiss, an Ontario high school student. While Preiss doesn“t think she could actually go through with a

6、procedure, she says it could go either way. “I could grow up to realize that there are more important things than my nose, or it could really bother me to the point where I decide to have surgery. I suppose it depends on my lifestyle and career choices,“ Preiss says. Suzanne Ma, a 19-year-old Ryerso

7、n University student, has considered a double eyelid procedure popular in Asia. “I“m Chinese, and I don“t like my eyes. I don“t have double eyelids, so I feel that my eyes look a lot smaller than they really are. My concerns are not entirely for cosmetic reasons. With my heavy eyelids, my eyelashes

8、don“t grow out properly. Some of them get trapped under the eyelids and it“s very easy for me to get an infection,“ Ma says. As in North America, plastic surgery is booming overseas, especially in wealthier Asian countries like Korea, where it is seen as a way to improve career prospects and self-co

9、nfidence. In China, women and some men are paying thousands of dollars to have a brutal surgical procedure performed that lengthens their legs so they can fulfill height requirements often used to narrow down the number of job applicants. Although reasons .or cosmetic surgery range from getting a be

10、tter look to improving job prospects, often the common factor among patients is more than skin deep. “Teenagers who are thinking about having plastic surgery to change the way they look are often addressing issues of self-esteem,“ says psychotherapist Dorothy Ratusny. “Between the ages of 13 and 19,

11、 there“s a lot of emphasis on peers and what others think of you. It“s also a time when things such as not being part of the popular crowd, changes in financial situation and divorce can negatively affect a teenager“s self-esteem.“ Cosmetic surgery may have a positive impact if your body image is co

12、nsistently tied to a negative focus on a particular facial feature or body part. Dr. Antell says, “The classic case is a teenage patient of mine who had reconstructive surgery to correct a significant discrepancy (差异，不一致) between her upper and lower jaws. When she came into my office for the initial

13、 consultation she was constantly looking at the floor. After the surgery, she was looking up and smiling. Now she“s singing in her local school group.“ Dr. Antell is careful to point out that there are murky areas. “Liposuction (抽脂术) is one of those areas. So is breast augmentation because you“re no

14、t really sure that the teenager has stopped growing yet. But there are exceptions, for example, if a patient has breast asymmetry.“ Dr. Mitchell Brown, a plastic surgeon at Sunnybrook and Women“s College Health Sciences Centre in Toronto says, “Correcting breast asymmetry, when women develop breasts

15、 that are different in terms of shape and size, can be appropriate for teenage girls because it causes a very significant psychological impact on them during their developmental years. Doctors are very aware of the psychological drama affecting our lives and it has become a very important factor whe

16、n evaluating a patient. Dr. Brown says, “The key thing from my perspective is to assess physical, emotional and psychological maturity before treating a patient. I spend a great deal of time with my patients, regardless of their age, to determine that they have thought out their concern carefully an

17、d have reasonable goals and expectations.“ In other words, cosmetic surgery can improve a patient“s body but it won“t necessarily improve their self-image or guarantee happiness. Dr. Antell says, “I“ve done liposuction on a Sports Illustrated swimsuit model. This is somebody most people would think

18、looked perfect. But she was very insecure. She didn“t see herself the way others did. I can“t give people confidence.“ So, if you“re considering cosmetic surgery you need to ask yourself what you hope to achieve because it“s not going to be the one magic solution that makes everything better. In fac

19、t, it may even change you for the worsejust surf the Web and read the thousands of horror stories from people hoping to find peace of mind or happiness by going under the knife.（分数：20.00）(1).Which of the following about Dr. Darrick Antell is NOT true?（分数：2.00）A.He is a top New York City plastic surg

27、ars, more and more foreigners are involved in the teaching programs of the United States. Both the advantages and the disadvantages 1 using foreign faculty in teaching positions have to be 2 , of course. It can be said that the foreign background that makes the faculty member from abroad an asset al

28、so 3 problems of adjustment, both for the university and for the individual. The foreign research scholar usually isolates himself in the laboratory as a means of protection; 4 , what he needs is to be fitted to a highly organized university system quite different from 5 at home. He is faced in his

29、daily work with differences in philosophy, arrangements of courses and methods of teaching. Both the visiting professor and his students 6 a common ground in each other“s cultures, some concept of what is already in the minds of American students is 7 for the foreign professor.

32、versations often develop quite differently from Japanese-style conversations. A Western-style conversation between two people is like a 1 of tennis. If I introduce a topic, a conversational ball, I expect you do 2 it back. If you agree with me, I don“t expect you simply to agree and to say: 3 more.

33、I expect you to add something to carry the idea further. 4 I don“t expect you always to agree. I am just as 5 if you completely disagree with me. 6 you agree or disagree, your 7 will return the ball to me. And then it is my turn 8 I don“t serve a new ball from my 9 starting line. I hit your ball bac

34、k again to you by 10 your idea further. And so the ball goes back and forth, 11 each of us doing our best to give it a new twist. A Japanese-style conversation, 12 , is not at all like tennis or volleyball. It“s like bowling. You 13 for your turn. And you always know your 14 in line. It depends on s

35、uch things as whether you are older or younger, a close friend or a relative stranger 15 the previous speaker, in a senior or junior position, and so on. When your turn comes, you 16 up to the starting line with your bowling ball, and 17 howl it. Everyone else stands back and watches politely, whisp

36、ering 18 . Everyone waits until the ball has reached the end of the alley, and watches to see if it 19 down all the pins, or only some of them, or none of them. There is a pause, while everyone registers your 20 （分数：30.00）A.playB.gameC.roundD.setA.hitB.moveC.throwD.pushA.everythingB.anythingC.nothin

39、分数：0.00)六、Passage One(总题数：1，分数：10.00)It is often difficult for a man to be quite sure what tax he ought to pay to the government because it depends on so many different things: whether the man is married; how many children he has; whether he supports any relations; how much he earns; how much intere

40、st he receives; how much he has spent on his house during the year, and so on and so forth. All this makes it difficult to decide exactly how much the tax is. There was a certain artist who was always very careful to pay the proper amount. One year, after posting his check as usual, he began to wond

41、er if he had paid enough, and after a lot of work, with a pencil and paper, decided that he had not. He believed that he owed the government something. He was just writing another check to send to the tax-collector when the postman dropped a letter into the box at the front door. Opening it, the art

42、ist was surprised to find inside it a check for five pounds from the tax-collector. The official explained that too much had been paid, and that therefore the difference was now returned to the taxpayer.（分数：10.00）(1).According to the passage, to decide the exact amount of tax to be paid is _.（分数：2.0

He always took medical books to sea and liked to talk about different i

46、llnesses. One day a lazy sailor on his ship pretended to be ill. He lay on his bunk(铺) and groaned as if he were very sick. The captain came to see him and was very pleased to have a patient to look after. He told the man to rest for a few days and made the other sailors to do his work. Three days l

47、ater another sailor pretended that he had something wrong with his chest. Once more the captain looked in his medical books and told the “sick“ man to have a rest. The other sailors were very angry because they had more work to do. The patients had the best food and laughed at their friends when the

48、 captain was not looking. At last the mate(大副) decided to cure the “sick“ men. He put some soap, glue and other unpleasant things together. Then he got permission from the captain to give his new medicine to the “sick“ men. When they tasted the medicine, they really did feel ill. It was so horrible

49、that one of the patients jumped out of his bunk, ran up on deck and climbed the highest mast on the ship. He did not want any more medicine. The mate told both of the men that they must take the medicine every half an hour, night and day. This soon cured them. They both said they felt better and wanted to start work again. The captain realized that the men had tried to deceive him so he made them work very hard for the rest of the voyage.（分数：10.00）(1).The first sailor pretended to be ill because he wanted to _
