A
There is a saying “Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.” What one individual considers beautiful may not be beautiful to another. When we talk about beauty in people, we often refer to their physical attractiveness. Of course, a beautiful or handsome face is pleasant to look at. But to me, beauty is not only something that pleases the eyes, but also pleases the other senses and the mind. I think true beauty makes you see beyond the lovely sight. It will give you insight or realization of something interesting beyond just the outward appearance.
The most memorable “beautiful people” are those who have attractive personalities behind the pretty faces. In one of my previous classes, there were two beautiful girls, Sue and Lin. Both had almost perfect faces and slender figures. But Lin was used to getting her way. She felt that her looks could help her get anything she wanted, especially among the boys, whilst Sue treated her beauty in a matter-of-fact way and she was nice to everyone. She was also a member of the debating team. Her personality was mostly accepted by others and it made her a more outstanding beauty than Lin.
Inner beauty is another kind of beauty that attracts people greatly. People who have this kind of beauty have attained inner peace. They care about their fellow men, and try to right the injustices in this world. Two well-known personalities who exemplify (是……的典型) this are Nelson Mandela and Mother Teresa. Mandela is willing to sacrifice his life and freedom to obtain equal rights for the blacks in South Africa. Mother Teresa’s mission is to help the poorest of the world’s poor. This inner look makes the world a better place.

I once thought that outward beauty was the only factor to become a great person. When I was young, I read many kinds of books, most of which described characters who are handsome or beautiful. So I thought that being beautiful was the only way to become a success.
As I grew up,the story of my best friend made me realize that outward beauty was not so important to make a person successful. She was so beautiful a girl that every classmate liked to chat with her, but she was very arrogant(傲慢). In her opinion, she could get all she wanted because of her beauty, but all of her friends left her one by one! Only then did she come to know the importance of the beauty in a person’s heart, which changed her attitude and she made friends again.
Turning on TV,we can see many advertisements, most of which seem to give us a feeling that physical attractiveness is the most important thing. There seems to be a boom in plastic surgery. It is surprising that more and more people,especially girls and women, try it like the first man-made beauty in China, Hao Lulu. It is a common sense that attractive people can easily find work. Most good-looking guys usually get higher scores in the job interviews. But, what is real beauty I want to say that is inner beauty because those who have beauty in their soul are really beautiful persons.
As is known, the beauty judged with eyes is temporary, so we should concentrate on inner beauty. And if we make efforts to make our minds beautiful, we’ll live a happier life.
4.Why did the author want to have a good appearance when she was young
A.Because she wanted to be one of the characters in the books.
B.Because she wanted to get higher scores in the job interviews.
C.Because she wanted to follow the example of her friend.

Ⅰ.A
语篇解读 本文是一篇议论文。美是什么 大多人认为是外表漂亮,但是我认为真正的美在于一个人具有的吸引人的人格魅力。如曼德拉和特蕾莎修女,他们使这个世界更加美好。
1.C 细节理解题。根据第一段中When we talk about beauty in people, we often refer to their physical attractiveness. 可知,当我们谈到人们的美时,我们通常指的是人们漂亮的外表。故选C。A项“美是个人的主观感受”指的是“一个人认为美丽的东西对另一个人来说可能并不美丽。” B项是作者谈论真正的美时的观点。D项也是作者个人的观点,在作者看来,美不仅要使眼睛愉悦,也要使其他感官和心灵愉悦。因此A、B、D三项都不符合题意。
2.B 推理判断题。根据第二段中Her personality was mostly accepted by others and it made her a more outstanding beauty than Lin.可知别人对她的好评让她加分,因此作者觉得她更好看。故选B。根据第二段中Both had almost perfect faces and slender figures.可知两人都有近乎完美的面庞和苗条的身材,因此A项和C项错误;根据whilst Sue treated her beauty in a matter-of-fact way and she was nice to everyone可知D项错误。
3.C 通读全文尤其是第二段首句The most...have attractive personalities behind the pretty faces.可知,C项“美是漂亮的面孔背后的魅力人格”符合题意,故选C。
B
语篇解读 本文是一篇议论文。作者受书籍的影响,非常重视外在美,以为只要漂亮就能成为一个成功的人,面试中也能得高分,这也正是整容手术越来越受欢迎的原因,而朋友的经历使作者深刻地认识到, 内在美才是真正的美。
4.D 细节理解题。根据第一段可知,作者之所以想变得漂亮,是因为小时候爱读书,而书中描写的大多数人物都很英俊或漂亮,所以自己也想拥有漂亮的外表,故选D。
5.C 推理判断题。根据第二段第二句中She was so beautiful a girl that every classmate liked to chat with her可知B项错误;根据第二段中Only then did she come to know...she made friends again.可知作者以朋友为例是想表明内在美很重要,故选C。
6.A 句意猜测题。下文对这一句话作了解释:越来越多的人为了追求外在美尝试整容,就像中国第一个人造美女郝璐璐一样。由此可知很多人注重自己的外在美,故选A。
7.B 主旨大意题。作者朋友的经历使作者深刻地认识到, 内在美才是真正的美,故选B。
Ⅱ. 语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文,作者就如何停止自我怀疑提出了一些建议。
1.F 空前两个问句What if I don’t pass this test Are my friends just hanging out with me because they feel bad for me 都是自我怀疑的表现;选项F“如果我永远搞不清楚我的人生目标怎么办 ”也是自我怀疑的表现,顺承前面两句。
2.E 根据该段首句The first step towards overcoming anything is to become aware of it.可知战胜一切困难的第一步是意识到它;下文说明只有当我们意识到我们在自我怀疑时,才能更快地阻止它。选项E“这已经是朝着正确的方向迈出的一步。”中的this指代上文As we realize our self-doubt, we will get quicker at stopping it.
3.C 空后一句提到“问问自己是什么让你开始这个目标的”顺承选项C中的“think”,符合语境。
4.B 该空应该是该段的小标题。选项B中的free与下文中的break free from语义相同。因此“Free Yourself”可以作为该段的小标题。
5.D 选项D“独自做事情并不总是容易的”,所以应该寻求支持。下文Find support through friends and read other inspirational websites.“从朋友那里寻求支持,浏览其他的励志网站”是对选项D的补充说明。
