IV.阅读理解
Who is the most beautiful woman in the world This question can't be answered as quickly as the magic mirror I answers the queen in Snow White. However, PEOPLE, a US magazine has been trying to answer that question since 1990. The magazine has its own Most Beautiful Woman every year. And last year it announced its pick for “World's Most Beautiful Woman” of 2017. It was Julia Roberts, who had won the title five times. “I am very happy,” said the Hollywood star. “I think I'm now peaking.”
Roberts has been named “Most Beautiful” more times than anyone else. She first appeared on the magazine in 1991 at the age of 23. Roberts is perhaps not the perfect choice in all people's mind. There are so many beautiful ladies in different fields after all. But PEOPLE has its own reasons, and it's not just about her looks. Julia has never looked better. Her beauty also lies in her self-confidence and good humour. It lies in her ability to develop while keeping the best parts of herself. It lies in her talent for creating characters and telling stories that take us to new places. It lies in her beautiful smiles.
In Julia's view, the most important secret for beauty is being happy! “Beauty is about your spirit. Be happy and live the life you want to live. That's the key to looking your best,” said Julia.

(1)句意:在20世纪90年代,憨豆先生成了一个像查理·卓别林一样,通过哑剧来突出社会困境的明星。分析句子结构可知use在句中应用非谓语动词形式,与逻辑主语star构成主动关系,故应用现在分词作定语。故填using。

(5)句意:他总是能找出人们害怕做的事情,因为他们不想成为社交失败者。此处为宾语从句,从句中缺少宾语,表示“人们害怕做的事情”应用what。故填what。

(7)句意:当未煮熟的肉送到时,他感到很窘迫,因为他难以入口。描述过去发生的事情应用一般过去时,且主语与谓语动词构成被动关系,应用一般过去时的被动语态,主语为he,谓语动词用单数。故填was overcome。
(8)句意:他切下一块肉,假装嚼了一口,却把它放进了旁边的花盆里。pretend to do sth.固定短语,“假装做某事”。故填to chew。
(9)句意:他的表演是如此出色,以至于当他吃完晚餐,服务员又为他提供了同样的菜,不收取额外的费用!此处为“such+a/an+形容词+单数名词”结构,such修饰名词。故填such。
(10)句意:他的表演是如此出色,以至于当他吃完晚餐,服务员又为他提供了同样的菜,不收取额外的费用!the same“同样的”,故填the。
