Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Unlike many other people， who have birthmarks on their bodies， I have them on my lips and inside my mouth.I used to consider them ugly， while my mom calls them beauty marks.
My birthmarks are caused by a genetic condition from my mom’s side of the family.This syndrome causes polyps （息肉）， which are small non-cancerous growths in the intestinal tract （肠道）.Every other year I have a procedure where the doctor removes them from my intestines.The day before， I can’t eat anything solid because the doctors need my intestines to be clear so that they won’t mistake food for a polyp.I also cannot drink anything red， because they may mistake it for blood on the scan.Before the procedure they give me anesthesia （麻醉）.
No matter how many times I go through the process， I always get nervous — but that’s understandable.At the end of the day I always know I’ll end up okay.
My younger cousin faces a similar challenge.She has a huge birthmark that takes up her whole arm.Her birthmark is pretty noticeable and looks like faded red splotches （斑点） of paint.She’s never tried to hide her birthmark or change her appearance.It really inspires me.She has always been so much more confident about her birthmark than I am.Once， her grandmother told her mom that her birthmark looked extremely prominent and suggested that she should wear long sleeves more often.If my younger cousin’s mom had actually taken that suggestion， my younger cousin wouldn’t be as confident about her birthmark as she is.
I could have covered up my birthmarks a while ago by wearing black lipstick.But I’m glad I didn’t.Using black lipstick would be straying away from accepting outward features that make me different.I am finally accepting who I am and now I won’t tolerate people making fun of me.I don’t hesitate when someone asks me about them either.I say， “They’re beauty marks.”
1.What do we know about the author from the first two paragraphs？（ ）
A.She likes to be different from others.
B.Her birthmarks can be deadly.
C.She should eat some solid food before the operation.
D.Her birthmarks cause her some trouble.
2.What does the underlined word “prominent” in Paragraph 4 mean？（ ）
A.Apparent. B.Graceful.
C.Harmful. D.Impressive.
3.What can be inferred about the author’s cousin？（ ）
A.She has hidden her birthmark.
B.Her confidence encourages the author.
C.She has taken her grandma’s suggestion.
D.She never judges others by their looks.
4.What can we learn from the story？（ ）
A.Every coin has two sides.
B.Don’t judge a person by his appearance.
C.Learn to accept who you are.
D.Overcome the nervousness.
B
There is a full-length mirror in my bedroom.I often look into this mirror before leaving home.A quick look ensures that my appearance is okay.But how much of the real me does my mirror reflect？ Here， I intend to recount various instances wherein deceptive appearances have contributed to prejudicial （有偏见的） attitudes.
One of my family’s best friends， David， has Down’s Syndrome （唐氏综合征）.Last year， my family joined his family for a day of skiing.Despite my frequent falls， David was always there to offer encouraging words， assuring me of my capabilities and teaching me essential skills such as turning， stopping， and getting up from my falls.Although David is an outstanding skier himself， he spent his day ensuring that I had an enjoyable experience， showing strengths that are not visible in a mirror.
At the grocery store where I work every Saturday， there is a lady who chooses to queue up at my checkout counter.By appearance， she is dressed differently and walks unsteadily.To some people， she is an object of joking.Although she may appear unaware of this judgment， I have noticed that she seeks out my checkout line on purpose while avoiding those who engage in laughing at her.From her behavior， I see a lonely person longing for a friendly hello.
When I recently visited a nursing home， I encountered a white-haired lady seated in a wheelchair.Most people just hurried past her.Based on her appearance， it would be easy to judge her as an “old lady” with nothing much to do and less to offer.However， it was not until later that I discovered her remarkable ability to speak three different languages.What a loss of opportunity for those who judged her by her appearance as a useless “old lady”！
A person’s appearance， like a mirror， reflects only their outer self.It’s the inner self that we need to embrace.By doing so， we open ourselves up to valuable connections that would otherwise be missed.
5.What did the author probably see beneath David’s appearance？（ ）
A.His passion for skiing.
B.His pity for the author’s incapability.
C.His patient and caring character.
D.His determination to defeat disease.
6.What does the lady at the grocery store want？ （ ）
A.People’s ignorance. B.People’s acceptance.
C.The jokers’ apology. D.The author’s attention.
7.What did most people probably think of the old lady in the nursing home？（ ）
A.Worthless. B.Attractive.
C.Intelligent. D.Poor.
8.What can we learn from the author’s experiences？（ ）
A.Don’t bite off more than you can chew.
B.Two heads are always better than one.
C.Actions speak louder than words.
D.Don’t judge a book by its cover.
C
（2024·重庆巴蜀中学高二下月考）Her face is framed by wavy brown hair extensions， her filled lips pursed towards the viewer.It could be a description of an Instagram post， but the touched-up （修改过的） beauty is Diana Cecil， an English noblewoman who belongs to a powerful family at the Jacobean court.Experts at English Heritage have discovered that her portrait had been altered by restorers to enhance certain features， suggesting that our modern beauty standards might not be so modern after all.
The great-granddaughter of William Cecil， Lord Burghley， one of Elizabeth Ⅰ’s closest advisers， Diana was considered one of the great beauties of her age.Yet it seems a later artist had other ideas.A restorer， probably in the 19th century， worked on the painting after it was damaged from being rolled sideways.It seems they also took the opportunity to alter the noblewoman’s face， enlarging her lips and lowering her hairline to reduce the size of her forehead.
Now， following careful conservation work， Cecil’s original appearance has been restored， with the full-length portrait-painted by Cornelius Johnson when Cecil was about 31.The conservation team discovered the changes made to the Johnson painting after removing a yellowing layer of oily liquid that had covered its original， more vivid colours.They also surprisedly found the artist’s signature， and a date that had been signed in the portrait’s curtain suggesting it was finished in 1634 and not 1638 as previously thought.
According to Alice Tate-Harte， a conservator at English Heritage， it was not uncommon for people to “sweeten” old paintings in the 19th and early 20th centuries.“Conservation wasn’t a profession， they weren’t working in institutions with salaries，” she said.“They were artist restorers and they had a bit more flexibility to prettify and beautify， whereas we have a lot more ethics today.We must keep our retouching to a minimum.I hope I’ve done Diana justice by removing those additions and presenting her natural face to the world.”
9.What does the discovery of experts at English Heritage suggest？（ ）
A.Prettiness is in the eyes of the viewer.
B.Every great artist was once an amateur.
C.Past norms may repeat themselves at present.
D.Beauty souls shine brighter than appearances.
10.What do we know about the original portrait of Diana Cecil？（ ）
A.The original beauty failed to entertain the restorer.
B.The portrait was in fact painted for William Cecil.
C.The painter intended to hide the beauty of Diana.
D.The age of Diana was exposed by her hairline.
11.Which of the following is an unexpected finding from the conservation work？（ ）
A.The addition of the bright colour.
B.The portrait’s date of completion.
C.The removal of the artist’s signature.
D.The extent of damage to the painting.
12.What does Alice think is the duty of art conservation？（ ）
A.It means an artistic way of living.
B.It depends on artists’ preference.
C.It requires ethical considerations.
D.It represents the fashion of time.
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
What can be done if you’re addicted to negative thinking？ Here are a few tips that might help you understand how you’re thinking and what changes you could make to stop the negative cycle.
Catch your thoughts
13.（ ）.If you can catch your thoughts as they arise， you can just observe them.Observing your thoughts can help to recognize whether you’re focused on the positive or the negative.Is there a real problem here that needs to be addressed？ Or something you can acknowledge and let go of？ When you process your thoughts with awareness， you can place them in the appropriate category.

Appreciate moments of joy and gratitude

语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了特殊的胎记给作者的外表及生活都带来了影响，作者因此感到苦恼，但表妹的自信使作者受到了鼓励，终于接受了自我。
1.D 推理判断题。根据第二段前三句可知，因为胎记的特殊性，作者每隔一年都要进行手术，因此这给作者带来了一些麻烦。
2.A 词义猜测题。根据画线词后的suggested that she should wear long sleeves more often可推知，表妹的奶奶让表妹多穿长袖衣服是为了挡住胎记，因为胎记太明显了。由此可知，画线词prominent表示“明显的”。apparent明显的；graceful优美的；harmful有害的；impressive给人印象深刻的。
3.B 推理判断题。根据第四段中的She’s never tried to hide her birthmark or change her appearance.It really inspires me.可知，作者的表妹没有故意隐藏胎记，说明她很自信，不惧别人的目光，她的这份自信鼓舞了作者。
4.C 推理判断题。通读全文内容可知，本文主要讲述了特殊的胎记给作者的外表及生活都带来了影响，作者因此感到苦恼，但表妹的自信使作者受到了鼓励，终于接受了自我。由此推知，本文教育人们要学会接受自我。
语篇解读：本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者结合自身经历，告诉读者：人不可貌相。
5.C 推理判断题。根据第二段内容可知，David一直鼓励、陪伴作者，并耐心教他滑雪动作，让他度过了愉快的一天。由此可知，David是个很有耐心且关心他人的人。
6.B 细节理解题。根据第三段中的I see a lonely person longing for a friendly hello可知，这位女士内心深处很渴望得到他人的认可和接纳。
7.A 观点态度题。根据第四段中的Most people ...as an “old lady” with nothing much to do and less to offer.可知，人们匆匆从她身边走过，认为她是个没什么用处和价值的老人。
8.D 推理判断题。根据作者所列举的三个亲身经历的事例以及最后一段中的It’s the inner self that we need to embrace.可推知，作者告诉读者：不要以貌取人，要去体会每个人丰富的内在。
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了英国遗产专家的一项发现：17世纪的贵族女性戴安娜·塞西尔的肖像画曾被修复者修改以增强其美貌特征，这暗示了现代审美标准可能并非如我们所想的那样现代，而是存在历史循环的现象。
9.C 推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句可知，专家发现修复者对戴安娜·塞西尔的肖像进行了修改，这表明现代审美标准并非如我们所想的那样现代，而是存在历史循环的现象。由此可推知，专家的发现表明过去的审美标准可能在现代会得到重复。
10.A 推理判断题。根据第二段最后两句可知，后来的修复者对戴安娜·塞西尔的肖像进行了改动，包括增大嘴唇尺寸和降低发际线以减小额头大小。由此可推知，原始画像并未完全满足修复者对于美的期望。
11.B 细节理解题。根据第三段中的They also surprisedly found the artist’s signature， and a date that had been signed in the portrait’s curtain suggesting it was finished in 1634 and not 1638 as previously thought.可知，保护工作意外地发现了该画像完成于1634年而不是先前认为的1638年。
12.C 推理判断题。根据最后一段最后三句可知，现在的艺术品保护工作有着更多的伦理规范，必须尽量减少对作品的修补，以公正地向世人展示艺术品原有的面貌。这说明她认为艺术保护工作需要考虑伦理因素。
Ⅱ.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了三条改变消极思维的建议。
13.F 根据Catch your thoughts可知，本段主要讲述的是了解你的想法。F项指出了解自己想法的第一步就是要意识到自己想什么，符合语境。
14.A 根据下文The more you resist something， the more you attract it towards you.If you imagine the worst that could happen and accept that， then the reality of what is actually happening isn’t so bad after all.可知，本段介绍了抵制消极思维的弊端和接受糟糕的事情的益处。A项（接受和改变）涵盖了本段内容，符合语境。
15.G 空前一句强调想象最坏的情况并接受它。G项承接上文，指出以现实和乐观的态度处理并接受事情的结果，符合语境。
16.D 根据so when you focus on what is good， the negative thoughts will have to take a back seat可知，此处强调把注意力集中在好的方面时，消极的想法就会被抛到脑后。D项（同时有两种相反的想法是很难的）引起下文，符合语境。
17.B 根据空后一句可知，我们常常忽视我们认为理所应当的事，对这些事情我们缺少感恩。故B项（感激一切）承接上文，符合语境。

It’s all about ME！
“Me”.It’s a small word with big meaning， and that meaning is as individual① to each of us as the way we look.[1]Through interviews， I was able to discover what “me” means to other people， and how they have learnt to appreciate the beauty② in themselves.
Psychologist， Dr Hart
Jade， 24， accounting manager
As a song in Ugly Betty puts it③， “It’s a pretty person’s world”.[2]I understand this more than most， as I have always been plain-looking④. I’m a girl who’d love to look good.Well， who wouldn’t？ So， ever since I discovered selfie apps that could remove my freckles⑤， enlarge⑥ my eyes and even slim⑦ my jawline， I have become addicted⑧.I spend hours every day editing⑨ my selfies， posting⑩ them and eagerly checking my phone a hundred times for comments .Each “like” boosts my confidence.[3]Dad thinks I am a narcissist， but what I say is that my pictures aren’t hurting anyone， so who cares？
[1]what与how都引导宾语从句，作discover的宾语。
[2]as引导原因状语从句。
[3]本句为but连接的并列句。在第二个分句中，what引导主语从句，that引导表语从句。
Dr Hart says：
Obsessive online photo editing indicates a lack of self-confidence and a desire for attention .However， the image Jade presents to obtain the praise of others is false.[4]People who pretend to be someone they are not tend to misjudge themselves.
Anthony， 21， college student
I never really cared about my appearance.[5]That’s why I could never understand my sister， who has 17 lipsticks and can’t decide which one to use every morning.I only used to have five identical pairs of trousers and five identical shirts.When I first moved into my dormitory at college， this made my roommates quite confused as they saw me in the same clothes day after day.Last month they registered me for a TV programme， A New You.It felt bizarre at first.I didn’t like being reviewed from head to toe .But I was surprised at how good I looked after the makeover！ For the first time in my life I saw myself as a handsome and well-presented young man.At that moment， I perceived that external beauty isn’t totally worthless.It can be an expression of our personalities ， helping us make a good and positive impression on others.
[4]本句的句子主干为：People tend to misjudge themselves.句中who pretend ...they are not为who引导的定语从句，修饰先行词People；在定语从句中，they are not是省略了关系代词that的定语从句，修饰先行词someone。
[5]本句中why引导表语从句。who引导非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词my sister。
Dr Hart says：
It’s true that inner beauty is very important， but external beauty shouldn’t be completely overlooked .It plays a part in the image we present to the world， and making an effort with your appearance can leave a positive first impression on others and boost your confidence.
Emma，17， senior high school student
Ever since I was little， I’ve been larger than other girls.For a long time， this really bothered me.People would stare at me because I was “big” and I hated the way I looked.My anxiety drove me to try every means possible to lose weight， including dieting and weight-loss pills， but this brought me nothing but pain and poor health.Everything changed when one day I came across the success story of a plus-size model， Tess Holliday.Although she’s larger than most other models， she’s really attractive and has the confidence to be herself — even in an industry full of beauty stereotypes .Her story changed my ideas about what it means to be beautiful.I realised that my health， mental and physical， is the most important thing.Now I exercise a couple of times a week but just to keep fit .I mean， isn’t it better that I’m large and happy， instead of skinny and unhealthy？
Dr Hart says：
I completely agree with Emma — being healthy is beautiful， and we should wear that beauty with confidence.[6]What I really admire is the way she has acknowledged that good health not only makes us more beautiful， but happier， too！
[6]本句为主从复合句。What引导主语从句；she has acknowledged ...是定语从句，修饰先行词the way；that引导宾语从句，作acknowledge的宾语。

【参考译文】
一切都关于“我”！
“我”，这个小小的字有着十分丰富的含义。对于我们每个人来说，这个意义就像我们的外表一样是因人而异的。通过这次采访，我得以发现“我”这个字对于其他人的意义，以及他们如何学会欣赏他们自己的美。
心理学家 哈特博士
杰德，24岁，会计经理
正如《丑女贝蒂》里的歌曲所唱的那样，“这是个看脸的世界”。我比大多数人都更能理解这句话的含义，因为我一直相貌平平。我是个爱美的女孩。好吧，谁不是呢？所以，自从我发现自拍软件能消除我的雀斑，拉大眼睛，甚至削尖下巴，我就用上瘾了。我每天会花数小时修我的自拍照，发照片，并频繁地打开手机，迫切地查看评论。照片的每个“赞”都会增强我的自信。爸爸觉得我太自恋，但我的解释是，我的照片没伤害其他人，有谁在乎呢？
哈特博士说：
沉迷于修饰上传网络的照片，其实是缺乏自信和渴望关注的表现。不管怎样，杰德呈现给别人想要博取赞美的形象都是虚假的。那些把自己包装成别人的人，只会对自己产生错误的判断。
安东尼，21岁，大学生
我向来不关心自己的外表。那就是为什么我永远无法理解我姐姐，她有17支口红，每天早上都不知道该用哪支好。而我以前只有五条一模一样的裤子和五件一模一样的衬衫。当我第一次搬进大学宿舍时，室友看到我每天穿同样的衣服都十分困惑不解。上个月，他们给我在一个叫《全新的你》的电视节目中报了名。我最初感觉很奇怪。我不喜欢被人从头到脚地打量。但经过一番装扮之后，我被自己的美貌震惊了！我人生中第一次发现，原来自己也可以是个英俊又体面的年轻人。在那一刻，我意识到外在美并非毫无价值。它可以表达我们的个性，也有助于我们给他人留下良好、积极的印象。
哈特博士说：
内在美固然重要，但也不能完全忽视外在美。外在美在我们呈现给世界的形象中扮演着重要的角色。努力提升你的外表可以给别人留下积极的第一印象，增强你的自信。
埃玛，17岁，高中生
从小我就比其他女孩块头大。很长一段时间，我都为此深受困扰。仅仅因为我“块头大”，别人就会盯着我看，我讨厌自己的样子。内心的焦虑促使我尝试各种减肥方法，包括节食和吃减肥药，但是这样做毫无作用，反而给我带来了痛苦和不健康的身体。有一天，我偶然读到大号模特特丝·霍利迪的成功故事后，一切都发生了转变。虽然特丝比大多数模特都壮，但她真的魅力十足，并且有信心做自己——即使是在这个对美的概念有着刻板印象的行业。她的故事改变了我对美的看法。我意识到，自己身心健康才是最重要的。现在，我每周锻炼几次，只是为了保持健康。我的意思是，我壮实且快乐着，总比瘦却不健康要好得多吧？
哈特博士说：
我完全赞同埃玛——健康才是美丽的，我们应该充满自信地接受这样的美丽。我真正钦佩她的一点是，她认可健康的身体不仅使我们更美丽，而且更快乐！

It’s all about ME！
“Me”.It’s a small word with big meaning， and that meaning is
as individual① to each of us as the way we look.[1]Through interviews，
I was able to discover what “me” means to other people， and how
they have learnt to appreciate the beauty② in themselves.
Psychologist， Dr Hart
As a song in Ugly Betty puts it③， “It’s a pretty person’s
world”.[2]I understand this more than most， as I have always been
plain-looking④. I’m a girl who’d love to look good.Well， who
wouldn’t？ So， ever since I discovered selfie apps that could remove
my freckles⑤， enlarge⑥ my eyes and even slim⑦ my jawline， I have
become addicted⑧.I spend hours every day editing⑨ my selfies， posting
⑩ them and eagerly checking my phone a hundred times for comments
.Each “like” boosts my confidence.[3]Dad thinks I am a
narcissist， but what I say is that my pictures aren’t hurting anyone， so
who cares？
Jade， 24， accounting manager
[1]what与how都引导宾语从句，作discover的宾语。
[2]as引导原因状语从句。
[3]本句为but连接的并列句。在第二个分句中，what引导主语从
句，that引导表语从句。
【读文清障】
①individual adj.独特的，与众不同的

Dr Hart says：
Obsessive online photo editing indicates a lack of self-confidence
and a desire for attention .However， the image Jade presents to obtain
the praise of others is false.[4]People who pretend to be someone they
are not tend to misjudge themselves.
I never really cared about my appearance.[5]That’s why I could
never understand my sister， who has 17 lipsticks and can’t decide
which one to use every morning.I only used to have five identical pairs
of trousers and five identical shirts.When I first moved into my dormitory
at college， this made my roommates quite confused as they saw me in
the same clothes day after day.Last month they registered me for a TV
programme， A New You.It felt bizarre at first.I didn’t like being
reviewed from head to toe .But I was surprised at how good I looked
after the makeover！
Anthony， 21， college student
For the first time in my life I saw myself as a handsome and well-
presented young man.At that moment， I perceived that external beauty
isn’t totally worthless.It can be an expression of our personalities ，
helping us make a good and positive impression on others.
[4]本句的句子主干为：People tend to misjudge themselves.句中
who pretend ...they are not为who引导的定语从句，修饰先行词
People；在定语从句中，they are not是省略了关系代词that的定语从
句，修饰先行词someone。

dormitory n.寝室
register v.登记，注册

perceive v.意识到，注意到，察觉到
external beauty 外在美
It’s true that inner beauty is very important， but external beauty
shouldn’t be completely overlooked .It plays a part in the image we
present to the world， and making an effort with your appearance can
leave a positive first impression on others and boost your confidence.
Dr Hart says：
Ever since I was little， I’ve been larger than other girls.For a long
time， this really bothered me.People would stare at me because I was
“big” and I hated the way I looked.My anxiety drove me to try every
means possible to lose weight， including dieting and weight-loss pills，
but this brought me nothing but pain and poor health.Everything
changed when one day I came across the success story of a plus-size
model， Tess Holliday.Although she’s larger than most other models，
Emma，17， senior high school student
she’s really attractive and has the confidence to be herself — even in an
industry full of beauty stereotypes .Her story changed my ideas about
what it means to be beautiful.I realised that my health， mental and
physical， is the most important thing.Now I exercise a couple of times
a week but just to keep fit .I mean， isn’t it better that I’m large and
happy， instead of skinny and unhealthy？
Dr Hart says：
I completely agree with Emma — being healthy is beautiful， and we
should wear that beauty with confidence.[6]What I really admire is the
way she has acknowledged that good health not only makes us more
beautiful， but happier， too！
[6]本句为主从复合句。What引导主语从句；she has

【参考译文】
一切都关于“我”！
“我”，这个小小的字有着十分丰富的含义。对于我们每个人来
说，这个意义就像我们的外表一样是因人而异的。通过这次采访，我
得以发现“我”这个字对于其他人的意义，以及他们如何学会欣赏他
们自己的美。
心理学家 哈特博士
杰德，24岁，会计经理
正如《丑女贝蒂》里的歌曲所唱的那样，“这是个看脸的世
界”。我比大多数人都更能理解这句话的含义，因为我一直相貌平
平。我是个爱美的女孩。好吧，谁不是呢？所以，自从我发现自拍软
件能消除我的雀斑，拉大眼睛，甚至削尖下巴，我就用上瘾了。我每
天会花数小时修我的自拍照，发照片，并频繁地打开手机，迫切地查
看评论。照片的每个“赞”都会增强我的自信。爸爸觉得我太自恋，
但我的解释是，我的照片没伤害其他人，有谁在乎呢？
哈特博士说：
沉迷于修饰上传网络的照片，其实是缺乏自信和渴望关注的表
现。不管怎样，杰德呈现给别人想要博取赞美的形象都是虚假的。那
些把自己包装成别人的人，只会对自己产生错误的判断。
安东尼，21岁，大学生
我向来不关心自己的外表。那就是为什么我永远无法理解我姐
姐，她有17支口红，每天早上都不知道该用哪支好。而我以前只有五
条一模一样的裤子和五件一模一样的衬衫。当我第一次搬进大学宿舍
时，室友看到我每天穿同样的衣服都十分困惑不解。上个月，他们给
我在一个叫《全新的你》的电视节目中报了名。我最初感觉很奇怪。
我不喜欢被人从头到脚地打量。但经过一番装扮之后，我被自己的美
貌震惊了！我人生中第一次发现，原来自己也可以是个英俊又体面的
年轻人。在那一刻，我意识到外在美并非毫无价值。它可以表达我们
的个性，也有助于我们给他人留下良好、积极的印象。
哈特博士说：
内在美固然重要，但也不能完全忽视外在美。外在美在我们呈现
给世界的形象中扮演着重要的角色。努力提升你的外表可以给别人留
下积极的第一印象，增强你的自信。
埃玛，17岁，高中生
从小我就比其他女孩块头大。很长一段时间，我都为此深受困
扰。仅仅因为我“块头大”，别人就会盯着我看，我讨厌自己的样
子。内心的焦虑促使我尝试各种减肥方法，包括节食和吃减肥药，但
是这样做毫无作用，反而给我带来了痛苦和不健康的身体。有一天，
我偶然读到大号模特特丝·霍利迪的成功故事后，一切都发生了转变。
虽然特丝比大多数模特都壮，但她真的魅力十足，并且有信心做自
己——即使是在这个对美的概念有着刻板印象的行业。她的故事改变
了我对美的看法。我意识到，自己身心健康才是最重要的。现在，我
每周锻炼几次，只是为了保持健康。我的意思是，我壮实且快乐着，
总比瘦却不健康要好得多吧？
哈特博士说：
我完全赞同埃玛——健康才是美丽的，我们应该充满自信地接受
这样的美丽。我真正钦佩她的一点是，她认可健康的身体不仅使我们
更美丽，而且更快乐！

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Unlike many other people， who have birthmarks on their bodies， I
have them on my lips and inside my mouth.I used to consider them ugly，
while my mom calls them beauty marks.
My birthmarks are caused by a genetic condition from my mom’s
side of the family.This syndrome causes polyps （息肉）， which are
small non-cancerous growths in the intestinal tract （肠道）.Every other
year I have a procedure where the doctor removes them from my
intestines.The day before， I can’t eat anything solid because the
doctors need my intestines to be clear so that they won’t mistake food for
a polyp.I also cannot drink anything red， because they may mistake it for
blood on the scan.Before the procedure they give me anesthesia （麻
醉）.
No matter how many times I go through the process， I always get
nervous — but that’s understandable.At the end of the day I always
know I’ll end up okay.
My younger cousin faces a similar challenge.She has a huge
birthmark that takes up her whole arm.Her birthmark is pretty noticeable
and looks like faded red splotches （斑点） of paint.She’s never tried to
hide her birthmark or change her appearance.It really inspires me.She has
always been so much more confident about her birthmark than I
am.Once， her grandmother told her mom that her birthmark looked
extremely prominent and suggested that she should wear long sleeves more
often.If my younger cousin’s mom had actually taken that suggestion，
my younger cousin wouldn’t be as confident about her birthmark as she
is.
I could have covered up my birthmarks a while ago by wearing black
lipstick.But I’m glad I didn’t.Using black lipstick would be straying
away from accepting outward features that make me different.I am finally
accepting who I am and now I won’t tolerate people making fun of me.I
don’t hesitate when someone asks me about them either.I say，
“They’re beauty marks.”

There is a full-length mirror in my bedroom.I often look into this
mirror before leaving home.A quick look ensures that my appearance is
okay.But how much of the real me does my mirror reflect？ Here， I
intend to recount various instances wherein deceptive appearances have
contributed to prejudicial （有偏见的） attitudes.
One of my family’s best friends， David， has Down’s Syndrome
（唐氏综合征）.Last year， my family joined his family for a day of
skiing.Despite my frequent falls， David was always there to offer
encouraging words， assuring me of my capabilities and teaching me
essential skills such as turning， stopping， and getting up from my
falls.Although David is an outstanding skier himself， he spent his day
ensuring that I had an enjoyable experience， showing strengths that are
not visible in a mirror.
At the grocery store where I work every Saturday， there is a lady
who chooses to queue up at my checkout counter.By appearance， she is
dressed differently and walks unsteadily.To some people， she is an
object of joking.Although she may appear unaware of this judgment， I
have noticed that she seeks out my checkout line on purpose while
avoiding those who engage in laughing at her.From her behavior， I see a
lonely person longing for a friendly hello.
When I recently visited a nursing home， I encountered a white-
haired lady seated in a wheelchair.Most people just hurried past her.Based
on her appearance， it would be easy to judge her as an “old lady” with
nothing much to do and less to offer.However， it was not until later that I
discovered her remarkable ability to speak three different languages.What
a loss of opportunity for those who judged her by her appearance as a
useless “old lady”！
A person’s appearance， like a mirror， reflects only their outer
self.It’s the inner self that we need to embrace.By doing so， we open
ourselves up to valuable connections that would otherwise be missed.

（2024·重庆巴蜀中学高二下月考）Her face is framed by wavy
brown hair extensions， her filled lips pursed towards the viewer.It could
be a description of an Instagram post， but the touched-up （修改过的）
beauty is Diana Cecil， an English noblewoman who belongs to a
powerful family at the Jacobean court.Experts at English Heritage have
discovered that her portrait had been altered by restorers to enhance certain
features， suggesting that our modern beauty standards might not be so
modern after all.
The great-granddaughter of William Cecil， Lord Burghley， one of
Elizabeth Ⅰ’s closest advisers， Diana was considered one of the great
beauties of her age.Yet it seems a later artist had other ideas.A restorer，
probably in the 19th century， worked on the painting after it was
damaged from being rolled sideways.It seems they also took the
opportunity to alter the noblewoman’s face， enlarging her lips and
lowering her hairline to reduce the size of her forehead.
Now， following careful conservation work， Cecil’s original
appearance has been restored， with the full-length portrait-painted by
Cornelius Johnson when Cecil was about 31.The conservation team
discovered the changes made to the Johnson painting after removing a
yellowing layer of oily liquid that had covered its original， more vivid
colours.They also surprisedly found the artist’s signature， and a date
that had been signed in the portrait’s curtain suggesting it was finished in
1634 and not 1638 as previously thought.
According to Alice Tate-Harte， a conservator at English Heritage，
it was not uncommon for people to “sweeten” old paintings in the 19th
and early 20th centuries.“Conservation wasn’t a profession， they
weren’t working in institutions with salaries，” she said.“They were
artist restorers and they had a bit more flexibility to prettify and beautify，
whereas we have a lot more ethics today.We must keep our retouching to a
minimum.I hope I’ve done Diana justice by removing those additions
and presenting her natural face to the world.”

9. What does the discovery of experts at English Heritage suggest？
（ ）
A. Prettiness is in the eyes of the viewer.
B. Every great artist was once an amateur.
C. Past norms may repeat themselves at present.
D. Beauty souls shine brighter than appearances.
解析： 推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句可知，专家发现修复
者对戴安娜·塞西尔的肖像进行了修改，这表明现代审美标准并非
如我们所想的那样现代，而是存在历史循环的现象。由此可推知，
专家的发现表明过去的审美标准可能在现代会得到重复。

（ ）
A. The original beauty failed to entertain the restorer.
B. The portrait was in fact painted for William Cecil.
C. The painter intended to hide the beauty of Diana.

解析： 推理判断题。根据第二段最后两句可知，后来的修复

work？（ ）

portrait’s curtain suggesting it was finished in 1634 and not 1638 as
previously thought.可知，保护工作意外地发现了该画像完成于
1634年而不是先前认为的1638年。
12. What does Alice think is the duty of art conservation？（ ）
A. It means an artistic way of living.
B. It depends on artists’ preference.
C. It requires ethical considerations.
D. It represents the fashion of time.
解析： 推理判断题。根据最后一段最后三句可知，现在的艺

补，以公正地向世人展示艺术品原有的面貌。这说明她认为艺术
保护工作需要考虑伦理因素。
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
What can be done if you’re addicted to negative thinking？ Here are
a few tips that might help you understand how you’re thinking and what
changes you could make to stop the negative cycle.
Catch your thoughts
13. （ ）.If you can catch your thoughts as they arise， you can
just observe them.Observing your thoughts can help to recognize whether
you’re focused on the positive or the negative.Is there a real problem
here that needs to be addressed？ Or something you can acknowledge and
let go of？ When you process your thoughts with awareness， you can
place them in the appropriate category.
14. （ ）
Resisting is not usually the best way to deal with your
negativity.Whatever you resist persists （维持）.The more you resist
something， the more you attract it towards you.If you imagine the worst
that could happen and accept that， then the reality of what is actually
happening isn’t so bad after all.15.（ ）， once you realize you
could survive the worst option.
Appreciate moments of joy and gratitude
Gratitude is a great tool to change your negative thoughts to positive
ones.Even small things can help create a new habit of positive
thinking.16.（ ）， so when you focus on what is good， the
negative thoughts will have to take a back seat.Think about people and
places that bring you joy， your favourite music or special pets.17.
（ ）.We often overlook the things we take for granted.But if you
start to look at all the things to be grateful for， your brain will begin to
watch for more of the same.
A. Accept and change
B. Be grateful for everything
C. You will need to learn to change your thoughts
D. It’s difficult to have two opposing thoughts at once
E. Negative thinking can take hold of us for many reasons
F. The first thing to do is become aware of what you’re thinking
G. You can change your thoughts to deal with things realistically and with
optimism

议。
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了三条改变消极思维的建
议。
13. F 根据Catch your thoughts可知，本段主要讲述的是了解你的想
法。F项指出了解自己想法的第一步就是要意识到自己想什么，符合
语境。
14. A 根据下文The more you resist something， the more you attract it
towards you.If you imagine the worst that could happen and accept that，
then the reality of what is actually happening isn’t so bad after all.可
知，本段介绍了抵制消极思维的弊端和接受糟糕的事情的益处。A项
（接受和改变）涵盖了本段内容，符合语境。
15. G 空前一句强调想象最坏的情况并接受它。G项承接上文，指出
以现实和乐观的态度处理并接受事情的结果，符合语境。
16. D 根据so when you focus on what is good， the negative thoughts
will have to take a back seat可知，此处强调把注意力集中在好的方面
时，消极的想法就会被抛到脑后。D项（同时有两种相反的想法是很
难的）引起下文，符合语境。
17. B 根据空后一句可知，我们常常忽视我们认为理所应当的
事，对这些事情我们缺少感恩。故B项（感激一切）承接上文，符
合语境。
谢谢观看！
