Chinese Women Reject “Beauty Duty”
Legend Zhu was the conventional ideal of Chinese beauty. Tall with shoulder-length hair she
led her university’s modeling team, (21)________ members were often called upon to wear
body-hugging dresses and dramatic eye makeup in college fashion shows.
This recent college graduate, Ms. Zhu, has attracted attention for her appearance once again,
but in a far different way. Over the summer, she took to Xiaohongshu, a Chinese social media
platform known for its lifestyle influencers, (22)________ (post) a selfie with shortened hair and a
cosmetic-free face. “From a model to a natural woman,” Ms. Zhu wrote in the post, which also
included “before” images from her modeling days. “It feels so comfortable!”
(23)________ ________ did Ms. Zhu’s image receive more than l,000 likes and many
compliments but she was applauded for her rejection to the pressure on women to conform to
traditional beauty standards. “This is (24)________ great value,” one comment said.
Awareness of such problems (25)________ (grow) among young women in China, especially
college-educated ones, said Leta Hong Fincher, the author of “Leftover Women: The Resurgence
of Gender Inequality in China.” Sex discrimination in university admissions and in the job market
has prompted some young women to resist gender roles, including (26)________ connected to
appearance, Ms. Fincher said.
Ms. Zhu, now 23, is among young women inspired by a growing trend of rejecting what is
known in Chinese internet word as “beauty duty”: the costly and sometimes painful devotion to
mainstream notions of attractiveness. The idea is to spend time and resources not on beauty
standards, but on personal development, including education and career growth.
Women subscribing to this idea are also refusing to starve themselves. Only (27)________
(slim)can be completely hidden by an 8.3-inch-wide sheet of paper. Ms. Zhu said that

could not imagine (29)________ harm this action would do to her body.
Women who reject such norms often regard other women who disagree with them as not
being progressive enough, said Fiona Chen, a feminist influencer in China. But their criticism.she
argued, (30)________ focus on the real reason that expectations are unfair.

Orangutans (红 毛 猩 猩 ) are known for an impressive feat of engineering: they carefully
weave an intricate nest from branches and leafy twigs in the forest canopy daily, building and
3
rebuilding for cozy nights and shady midday naps. Some nests,particularly those made by older
and more experienced orangutans, feature pillows, linings, blankets, and sometimes even a roof
___31___ from broad leaves --- and all must be well protected from the ___32___ and strong
enough to hold 100-plus pounds of sleeping ape.
Now a study published in Animal Behavior reveals that young orangutans ___33___ this
vita!task over the course of seven years, “The fact that it takes them so long to ___34___ this skill
shows us that it’s much more complex than we realized before,” says the study’s lead author
Andrea Permana, a primatologist (灵长类动物学家) at the University of Warwick in England.
To understand this behavior, researchers followed 45 orangutans at Indonesia’s Gunung
Leuse National Park for 13 years. “It was very cool to see more focus on ___35___ culture and
tool-use behavior that isn’t the standard ‘sticks and stones,’ like the caveman tools that we usually
focus on,” says University of Kent primatologist Hella Peter, who was not involved in the study.
Permana found that orangutans begin to show interest in nest building as young six months.
These still ___36___ orangutans practice the task daily over the course of their youth, watching
their mother to learn building techniques. As they get older.their strength and skills improve,
letting them more successfully weave twigs and branches into the structure. Researchers have seen
orangutans build their first ___37___ night nests at three years old, but they still tend to sleep
alongside their mothers until about age seven.
Orangutans “have this seven-to-nine-year-long reliance period when they are little babies,
and after that they are on their own.” Peter says.
These nests offer more than just ___38___ from tigers and other predators; sleep itself is a
crucial resource as well. All great apes construct nests to some degree, and studies show that
orangutans sleep deeper and longer than non-nest-building primates. This sound sleep may tell us
how nests played a part in our own ancestors’ brain because human ancestors and orangutan
ancestors developed nest building ___39___ simultaneously. Permana says: “The more rested you
are, then you can be more innovative. Maybe you’re more curious, your memory is better, and you
can solve problems better. The ___40___ effects of that on the success of our ancestors is pretty
undoubtable.”
III. Reading Comprehension (45 分)
Section A (每题 1 分，共 15 分)
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B,
C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
Screened out
It is hard to imagine life without a smartphone these days. Leave yours at home and you may
find yourself lost, moneyless and severed (断绝) from social contact. Nine in ten American adults
own one, according to Pew Research Centre. They spend 3 hours and 45 minutes on them a day,
on average, reckons GWI, a firm of analysts. New versions enhanced with artificial intelligence
may be even harder to ___41___.
Yet a market is also emerging for phones that are ___42___ basic. These dumb phones —
confusingly called “feature phones”—account for just 2% of phone sales in America. But demand
is growing. In 2016 HMD, a Finnish firm, bought the rights to ___43___ the devices of Nokia,
4
whose basic phones once reigned supreme. It says it is now selling “tens of thousands” of
flip-phones a month in America. In May it re-released the Nokia 3210, a(n) ___44___ model for
many millennials during their teenage years, in Europe. It even has Snake, a classic mobile game.
Dumb phones today do not merely ___45___ those of the past, though. Startups offer
___46___ devices of their own. For example, Light Phone, which is shaped like an iPod, has an
e-ink screen like a Kindle. It also allows users to add ___47___ “tools” including a podcast-player
and a directions app.
What explains the return of the dumb phone One factor is ___48___ over the impact of
smartphones—and social-media apps ___49___ on young people’s mental health. That is why
Eton, a posh British school, announced in July that it would ___50___ its future prime ministers
from bringing smartphones to school, and would provide them with Nokia phones instead.
But plenty of grownups are also choosing dumb phones ___51___. Jose Briones, who
moderates a forum dedicated to dumb phones on Reddit, a social-media site, switched to the Light
Phone after growing ___52___ at his soaring screen-time tally. Like many neophytes (新信徒), he
still keeps a smartphone for situations such as travelling abroad. Other smartphone addicts are
instead opting to ___53___ their devices, either by deleting apps or downloading ones that control
screen time, of which there are a growing number.
___54___ the supercharged connectivity of a smartphone can lead to anxiety at first.
Christina Dinur, another dumb-phone ___55___, remembers wondering what to do with herself
when waiting in a queue without her smartphone. But, she says, she “settled into a really quick !”.
For some, it seems, a dumb phone can be a smart choice.

(A)
The Two Roads
It was New Year’s Night. An aged man was standing at a window. He raised his mournful
eyes towards the deep blue sky, where the stars were floating like white lilies on the surface of a
clear calm lake. When he cast them on the earth, where a few more hopeless people besides
himself now moved towards their certain goal--- the tomb. He had already passed sixty of the
stages leading to it, and he had brought from his journey nothing but errors and regrets. Now his
health was poor, his mind vacant, his heart sorrowful, and his old age short of comforts.
The days of his youth appeared like dreams before him, and he recalled the serious moment
when his father placed him at the entrance of the two roads---one leading to a peaceful, sunny
place, covered with flowers, fruits and resounding with soft, sweet songs; the other leading to a
deep, dark cave, which was endless, where poison flowed instead of water and where devils and
poisonous snake hissed and crawled.
He looked towards the sky and cried painfully, “O, my father, place me once more at the
entrance to life, and I’ll choose the better way!” But both his father and the days of his youth had
passed away.
He saw the lights flowing away in the darkness. These were the days of his wasted life; he
saw a star fall from the sky and disappeared, and this was the symbol of himself. His regret, which
was like a sharp arrow, struck deeply into his heart. Then he remembered his friends in his
childhood, who entered on life with him. But they had made their way to success and were now
honored and happy on this New Year’s night.
The clock in the church tower struck and the sound made him remember his parents’ early
love for him. They had taught him and prayed to God for his good. But he chose the wrong way.
With shame and grief he dared no longer look towards the heaven where his father lived. His
darkened eyes were full of tears, and with a despairing effort, he burst out a cry: “Come back, my
early days! Come back”
And his youth did return, for all this was only a dream which he had on New Year Night. He
was still young though his faults were real; he had not yet entered the deep, dark cave, and he was
still free to walk on the road which leads to the peaceful and sunny land.
Those who still linger at the entrance of life, hesitating to choose the bright road, remember
that when years are passed and your feet stumble on the dark mountains, you will cry bitterly, but
in vain: “ O youth, return! Oh give me back my early days!”
56. In the 3rd paragraph, the man cried painfully because _________.
A. all the hopeless people were moving towards death
B. He had lost forever the chance to take the right road
C. His parents and the happy days of his youth were gone
D. He refused to take the road leading to a deep dark cave
57. What happened to the man before his sudden realization
A. He was at his father’s funeral farewell. B. He was enjoying the New Year’s eve.
C. He was wandering at the entrance to life. D. He was having a dream of his life in old age.
58. We can infer from the story that _________.
6
A. The man’s childhood friends led a joyful life like him
B. The man still had the opportunity to chose the right way
C. both the man’s parents passed away when he was young
D. the man’s father was quite strict with his son before death
59. The passage is mainly written for _________.
A. a new driver getting lost on a detour
B. a concerned mother with two children to raise
C. an experienced teacher with a good reputation
D. a hesitating young adult facing a tough life choice

From the creators of the blockbuster show in Paris seen by over two million visitors and still
wowing crowds in Toronto, the west coast premiere (首场) of the Immersive Van Gogh Exhibit

Gogh into moving, wall-filling projections. “Immersive Van Gogh” promises half-a-million cubic
feet of projections that pull from some of the post-impressionist’s most recognizable pieces,
including The Bedroom, Sunflowers and, yes, The Starry Night.
You will experience art like never before—lose yourself in entrancing, moving images that
highlight brushstrokes, detail, and color—truly illuminating the mind of the genius.

(C)
On the Internet, nobody knows you’re a dog. It’s a joke that captures the prevailing idea that
you can be whoever you want online. Previous research suggested that we tailor our online
interactions to hide aspects of our personality we don’t want to share. In other words, we craft our
digital selves to highlight only the best bits.
But that picture may need redrawing. Recent work suggests our true colors just can’t help
shining. Several studies found that Facebook behaviours accurately mirror our personality. For
instance, constant updates about gym habits reveal one’s genuine unhealthy narcissism (自恋).
Now Grieve and Watkinson at the University of Tasmania may have found out why: trying to
be someone you’re not carries a severe emotional and mental consequence-just as it would offline.
The pair asked 164 people aged 18 to 55 to take two personality tests, one as their true selves and
one as the person they thought they presented on Facebook. They found that the more people’s
true selves differed from the persona (表象) they presented online, the less social connectedness
they reported — and the more stress.
The findings are fascinating because they show well-established principles in psychology
happening in cyberspace, says Michal Kosinski at Standford University. For example, the
self-verification theory says that we would rather other people had an accurate view of who we
really are than an overly positive one.
William Swann of the University of Texas was the first to show the theory. He found that
employees are more likely to leave a company after getting a pay rise if they have low self-esteem,
because it conflicted with their view of the world. In general, we tend to be healthier and more
productive when those around us reflect how we see ourselves, even if some of those traits are not
positive.
Kosinski says none of us is supposed to act any differently online versus in real life. In fact, it
may be even harder to be someone you’re not when you’re online. In our offline interactions, there
8
are more social pressures regulating how we present ourselves. What’s more, happier and less
stressed people are not crafting themselves, says Kosinski, they have tailored their social network,
probably to target a less diverse audience.
The finding also has implications for anonymity (匿名). There are good reasons why people
hide their identity on the Internet. It lets you express yourself without consequence. But when
nobody knows you’re a dog, you get none of the positive confirmation of others seeing you for
who you really are. “You can’t link that secret self to your public identity”, says Grieve.
63. What does the author mean by saying “But that picture may need redrawing”
A. Trying to present our best sides online may reveal our true selves.
B. We also need to highlight our drawbacks in crafting digital identities.
C. People with different personalities have their own shining points.
D. We should get rid of the habit of merely exposing our true selves.
64. Which of the following is TRUE about the self-verification theory
A. It applies both to online contexts and real-life contexts
B. It is a novel theory but has been recognized in psychology.
C. It indicates low-esteemed people are likely to quit their jobs.
D. It indicates people’s hatred of others ’ objective remarks on them.
65. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage
A. Hiding identity online may boost one’s ability to express himself.
B. People may only include those similar to them into social network
C. Social network websites may lack diversity in terms of its audience.
D. You’ll surely get positive reviews from others when you post anonymously.
66. The passage mainly tells us that ________.
A. Showing our fake selves is universal B. we should display our best sides online
C. we must deal with social media carefully D. faking our online-identities doesn’t pay

What Happens During a School Pep Rally
One of many school-based gatherings a pep rally is designed to generate school spirit and

homecoming games or playoff games, and provide opportunities for students, faculty, sports teams
9
and other groups to honor and celebrate their team in preparation for the upcoming event.
_______67_______.
Informing the school community of an upcoming pep rally not only gives participants time to
prepare but also builds excitement and expectation before attendance. Announcements might
include details about a school spirit week leading up to the rally or encouraging students and
teachers to sign up for competitions that will take place during the pep rally.
Pep rallies are meant to showcase school pride and engage the crowd in enthusiastic displays
of school spirit. _______68_______. Students are led in while listening to familiar pep tunes from
the school band or drum line and are seated with their graduating class. From there, the rally
follows an agenda of introductions and announcements spirited performances from various school
organizations, acknowledgement of key members of the community, humorous energetic
programs and engaging competitions between the classes. Near the end of a rally, the students
may sing the school’s fight song in the lead of the band and cheerleaders.
The atmosphere is loud and enthusiastic during a pep rally and motivates students to actively
participate. _______69_______. It’s not uncommon for a speaker, such as a team captain or a
particularly engaging coach or faculty member, to excite the audience by announcing team records,
narrating a slide show of celebrated moments in the team’s competitive history or leading the
entire school in a spirit cheer.
Once a pep rally has ended, students generally return to class or leave school feeling uplifted
and enthusiastic about their school’s team and the upcoming contest. _______70_______.
IV. Summary Writing (10 分)
Directions: Read the passage carefully. Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea of the
passage and how it is illustrated. Use your own words as far as possible.
Dumb phones (非智能手机) are making a comeback
It is hard to imagine life without a smartphone these days. Nine in ten American adults own
one, and they spend 3 hours and 45 minutes on them a day, on average. New versions updated
with artificial intelligence may be even harder to put down.
Yet a market is also growing for phones that are simple-designed. These dumb phones
account for just 2% of phone sales in America. But demand is growing. In 2016, a Finnish firm
bought the rights to relaunch the devices of Nokia, which is now selling “tens of thousands” of
flip-phones (翻盖式手机) a month in America.
Dumb phones today do not only copy those of the past, though. Startups offer
simple-designed devices of their own. One example is the Light Phone, which is shaped like an
iPod and has an e-ink screen like a Kindle. It also allows users to add optional “tools” including a
podcast-player and a directions app.
What explains the return of the dumb phone One factor is anxiety over the impact of
smartphones — and social-media apps in particular — on young people’s mental health. That is
why Eton, a well-known British school, announced in July that it would bar its future prime
ministers from bringing smartphones to school, and would provide them with Nokia phones
instead.
10
But plenty of grownups are also choosing dumb phones of their own free will. Jose Briones,
who hosts a conference focused on dumb phones on Reddit, a social-media site, switched to the
Light Phone after growing alarmed at his rising screen-time record. Like many new comers, he
still keeps a smartphone for situations such as travelling abroad. Other smartphone addicts are
instead choosing to simplify their devices, either by deleting apps or downloading ones that
control screen time, of which there are a growing number.
