“主题阐述型”议论文的文体特点
本文语篇类型为“主题阐述型”议论文。此类文章一般具有以下特征：(1)文章第一段以清晰简洁的中心句(thesis statement)提出明确的观点；(2)文章的开端、主体内容和结论之间具有清晰的逻辑关系和过渡；(3)主体内容部分的段落要提供支持性论据(包括事实性、逻辑性、数据性和引用的论据)；(4)结论部分会基于前面所提供的论据重申观点。如本文第一句话直接点明了主题“不要以貌取人”，随之通过提问的方式引起读者对话题的关注，接着分析和讨论问题产生的原因，然后提出建议，最后点明主旨。文章各段皆由主题句引领，然后通过列事实、讲道理来展开讨论，层次分明，逻辑性强。
(一)赏用词之妙　
1．... and it is important to guard against the causes behind them.
赏析：本句中的guard against有“提高警惕，防止某事发生”及“注重防范，免受其影响”两重含义，用在此处能更有效地传达本句的句意。
2．Teens who try to copy the looks of their favourite stars are fighting a losing battle — these standards are simply impossible for most of the population to live up to.
赏析：本句中的copy表达了对青少年盲目追星行为的不赞成；fight a losing battle则生动形象地指出该行为是完全不可行的，如同打一场必败之仗；后面的simply则语气强烈地重申了对这一行为的否定。
3．Your friends may post a never-ending series of photos online to show off their beautiful dresses or strong bodies ...
赏析：本句中的never-ending及show off写出了作者对一些青少年沉迷网络自拍行为的不赞同。
4．First of all， be careful not to follow popular beauty standards blindly.
赏析：本句中的be careful及not to follow ... blindly是作者对青少年的忠告：要审慎，不要盲从。
5．However， like a book， your contents are much more important than your cover.
赏析：副词much修饰比较级more important，体现了内在比外在重要得多。可以修饰比较级的词语还有：rather， even， a lot， a great deal， still， a bit 等。

(二)赏句式之高　
1．Standards of beauty in the media can have a big influence on what you think of your physical appearance.
赏析：本句中使用了what引导的宾语从句作介词on的宾语，说明了媒体的审美标准会影响你对自己外表的看法。宾语从句是写作中的高频句式，简单实用，且能提升文章的档次。
2．Everyone has their own talents — you may be good at painting or playing the piano， so take pride in things you do well instead of worrying about things you cannot change.
赏析：本句使用了so连接的并列句来表达因果关系，第二分句中又使用了定语从句you do well及you cannot change修饰先行词things，来告诫青少年要为自己擅长的事感到自豪，不要为无法改变的事而烦恼。不同句式结构的灵活运用令表意更丰富，同时增加了句式的层次性，体现了较高的写作功底。

1．“Don't judge a book by its cover，” the old saying goes.
赏析：本句运用了引用的修辞手法。作者引用谚语“Don't judge a book by its cover”形象直观地表明了自己的观点态度：不要以貌取人。谚语一般凝练、通俗，富含哲理，在写作中适当引用一些谚语，可以为文章增色添彩。
2．Dark thoughts about your physical appearance can hang over you all the time like a rain cloud.
赏析：本句运用了比喻的修辞手法，将负面思绪比作乌云，把抽象的事物形象化，增强了表达的生动性，加深了读者的印象。

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
I have learned Latin dance since childhood. However， into adolescence， conflicts brought by Latin dance overwhelmed me. The fair skin and slim bodies of mainstream beauty stand in contrast to what Latin dance pursues: power and wildness. As a blooming (妙龄的) girl， I long for beauty admired by all. But a girl like me with strong muscles stands out in the crowd. Disturbed feelings caused by unkind judgment piled up in my heart. It was so much that I chose to compromise.
Luckily， the match for the Chinese youth team in Vietnam shifted my attention， dragging me out of anxiety. Players from different countries gathered together to fight for the honors. And I was no exception. Even though I had exerted (尽力表现) myself， I was shocked to find that I didn't get the score I expected. The reason， obviously， lay in my diet. With my reduced intake of protein and carbohydrates， I visibly lost a lot of weight， but at the cost of a sense of power and speed in dance.
In between games， I saw a little girl from Europe take firm and powerful steps in the competition. There was an inward intensity (强度) and outward charm， which caused my attention. Her beauty came from her full muscles. The confidence in her eyes was unstoppable. Sure enough， she won the top prize. Full of admiration， I made her acquaintance and shared my dilemma. I can't recall the conversation， but I do remember the confidence that inspired me and some of her words: “Just be yourself.”
Looking back， I'm still the dancing girl， but my heart has grown lighter. Something within me is dancing.
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在青春期因为自己的外表感到困扰，后来作者遇到了一个女孩，女孩鼓励作者做自己就好，作者也终于找回了自信。

√
2．Why did the author fail to get her ideal score？
A．She didn't make a great physical effort.
B．Her body shape didn't meet the standard.
C．She made an error during the performance.
D．Her dance lacked a sense of power and speed.
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句可知，作者没有取得理想的分数是因为作者的舞蹈中缺乏力量和速度。
√
3．What can we learn from the passage？
A．The European girl's confidence stuck in the author's mind.
B．Latin dance features power， speed and gentleness.
C．The top-prize winner's dance had an outward intensity and inward charm.
D．After the match， the author's dance steps became lighter.

I think adults are affected by media， songs and the Internet， and that is hard enough. After reading all of the magazines and looking at the models， my friends and I agree that our least favourite day of the year is when we wear swimsuits! ____ affects your whole mood and self-image for the day. Think about how hard it is for young girls if they believe “how hot you look” is how valuable you are.
Here are some ways parents can be proactive in encouraging a healthy self-image in their children.
It
First， teach what real value is. I think kids sometimes are confused about values. How valuable you are is not measured by how pretty you are on the outside and success is not measured by how famous you are. We were watching the Oscars and my 6-year-old son said “She is so pretty” and then quickly looked at me and said “______
____________________” And I said， “It's okay. There are many people prettier than me on the outside. I know that's not why you love me.” It is important to teach children this from an early age.
You
are prettier， Mom.
Second， tell your kids about “the grass is always greener” syndrome. It is very easy for all of us to see the glamour (魅力)， whether it is in a famous singer or the most popular girl in the school. Do not dehumanize (使失去人性) and judge famous people. Talk about what problems they might have that are different from the problems your child has and maybe some of the same struggles， like maybe wanting acceptance from peers.
At last， use your mouth. Don't be afraid to have conversations with your child about how they're feeling about ads， songs， etc. Boys too! You are the parent! Kids of all ages want and need boundaries whether they admit it or not. Take a stand and have confidence enough not to be followers and not to purchase clothing， music， or magazines that you don't believe send the right message to your children!
语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。文章主要阐述了家长应如何帮助孩子树立正确的价值观。
5．What does the underlined word “It” in paragraph 1 refer to？
A．Singing with friends.
B．Learning swimming skills.
C．Showing imperfect figures.
D．Reading fashion magazines.
解析：代词指代题。根据画线词上文的“After reading all of the magazines and looking at the models ... when we wear swimsuits！”及画线词下文的“how hot you look”可推断，画线词指代“(穿上泳衣后)展示出不完美的身材”。
√
6．The author's son said “You are prettier， Mom.” probably ________ .
A．to praise his mother
B．to comfort his mother
C．because he didn't like stars
D．because he really thought so
√
解析：句意理解题。根据画线句上文的“We were watching the Oscars and my 6-year-old son said ‘She is so pretty’ and then quickly looked at me and said”及画线句下文作者说的话“It's okay. There are many people prettier than me on the outside.”可推断，作者的儿子那样说很可能只是为了安慰自己的妈妈。
7．What syndrome is mentioned in paragraph 4？
A．Lots of people like judging others.
B．Kids want to be popular in school.
C．People tend to like famous singers.
D．People always think others' life is better.
√
解析：推理判断题。根据第四段中的“‘the grass is always greener’ syndrome”及“It is very easy for all of us to see the glamour ...”可知，作者认为人们通常更容易看到别人好的地方，而忽视别人不如意的地方，即“这山望着那山高”。
8．In the last paragraph， the author advises parents to _____ .
A．set limits for their kids
B．make friends with their kids
C．teach their kids how to be confident
D．encourage their kids to be themselves
√
解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“You are the parent! Kids of all ages want and need boundaries whether they admit it or not.”可知，作者建议家长适当限制孩子接触的东西。
C
Breakfast is food for the brain and for the rest of your body， say experts in children's nutrition.And taking in those morning calories is worth it， even for people concerned about their weight， a new study finds.Middle-school students who ate breakfast were more likely to have healthy weights than those who skipped breakfast.This was true even for students who ate two breakfasts — one at home and one at school.
“Not skipping breakfast sets you up to not overeat later in the day，” concludes Marlene Schwartz.This psychologist studies obesity (肥胖) and directs the Rudd Center for Obesity & Food Policy at the University of Connecticut in Hartford.
Breakfast is considered so important that many schools now serve it as well as lunch.But at least one study has found that a lot of these kids who take part can end up eating two breakfasts， Schwartz says.People became concerned that kids who ate breakfast at home and at school might become obese.
In fact， Schwartz now says， that's not what her data have turned up.
Her group studied some 600 middle-school students.Over three years， students from 12 different schools — in fifth， sixth and seventh grades — were asked about their breakfasts.Throughout the study about 34 to 44 percent of all students said they regularly ate breakfast at home.Up to 17 percent， or almost one in every six kids， regularly ate breakfast at school.On the whole， about one in every 10 kids reported downing breakfasts both at home and at school.
Eating habits changed somewhat as the kids got older.For instance， fifth graders were more likely to regularly eat breakfast at home.But by seventh grade， 22 percent of the studied kids skipped breakfast frequently.
Surprisingly， at every age， kids who ate breakfast were less likely to be overweight.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了早餐和肥胖的关系。吃早餐的孩子肥胖的可能性更小，不吃早餐的孩子肥胖的可能性更大。
9．What can we infer from paragraph 1？
A．Breakfast is more important to your brain.
B．Eating two breakfasts is better than eating one.
C．Eating breakfast mightn't cause kids to gain weight.
D．People concerned about their weight should skip breakfast.
解析：推理判断题。根据第一段第二、三句可知，关心体重的人也需要吃早餐，吃早餐的中学生比不吃早餐的中学生更有可能拥有健康的体重。
√
10．What's the possible result of skipping breakfast according to the passage？
A．Being more popular. 　B．Putting on weight.
C．Becoming thinner. 　 D．Being sick.
解析：推理判断题。根据第二段第一句可推知，如果不吃早餐，晚些时候可能会吃得更多，从而导致肥胖。
√
11．What can we learn about Schwartz's study？
A．It took her four years to finish her study.
B．Eating habits remained the same as the kids got older.
C．Three different grades' students took part in her study.
D．The number of students who ate breakfast at home was smaller.
解析：细节理解题。根据第五段第二句可知，三个不同的年级，分别是五、六和七年级的学生参加了这个实验。
√
12．What's the main idea of the passage？
A．Breakfast is more important than lunch.
B．Eating habits should change as the kids grow.
C．Kids who eat breakfast are less likely to be overweight.
D．It is important to develop a good habit of eating two breakfasts.
解析：主旨大意题。通读全文尤其根据最后一段可知，本文主要介绍了早餐和肥胖之间的关系。吃早餐的孩子肥胖的可能性更小。
√
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
Don't judge a book by its cover.We have heard that advice over and over again.And it makes sense.Why should we judge someone who is overweight simply by how they look？ It has nothing to do with them as a person， and it says nothing about all they have achieved in life.
______ We should not judge them as healthy simply because they are thin.
13
We care so much about weight that we think those who succeed in keeping a “healthy weight” must be healthy.
Many studies have shown that being overweight increases the risk of diabetes， heart disease， and even death. ______ Some studies just look at pounds.Some use body mass index (BMI) which includes both height and weight measurements.But neither one says anything about overall health for sure.
14
In some studies， a person's fitness has been shown to be more important than overall weight.
That means those at “normal” weight， but below average fitness could be at higher risk than fitter and heavier people. ______
If you are thin and want to know if your health may be at risk， whole body MRIs (磁共振成像) can tell you if you are a TOFI (thin on the outside， fat on the inside)．This is thought to increase your health risk even if you have a perfect body weight. ______ Rather， creating and keeping healthy lifestyle habits should be the goal.
15
16
Start now and you will be on your way to improving your overall health. ______ But even if it doesn't， rest assured you are still improving your health and your life.
A．The same holds true for thin people.
B．Weight loss will usually naturally follow.
C．The article mainly talks about people in Australia.
17
D．So weight loss should not be what we always dream of.
E．How many times do you say， “She looks great， nice and thin！”？

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
I have learned Latin dance since childhood. However， into adolescence， conflicts brought by Latin dance overwhelmed me. The fair skin and slim bodies of mainstream beauty stand in contrast to what Latin dance pursues： power and wildness. As a blooming (妙龄的) girl， I long for beauty admired by all. But a girl like me with strong muscles stands out in the crowd. Disturbed feelings caused by unkind judgment piled up in my heart. It was so much that I chose to compromise.
Luckily， the match for the Chinese youth team in Vietnam shifted my attention， dragging me out of anxiety. Players from different countries gathered together to fight for the honors. And I was no exception. Even though I had exerted (尽力表现) myself， I was shocked to find that I didn't get the score I expected. The reason， obviously， lay in my diet. With my reduced intake of protein and carbohydrates， I visibly lost a lot of weight， but at the cost of a sense of power and speed in dance.
In between games， I saw a little girl from Europe take firm and powerful steps in the competition. There was an inward intensity (强度) and outward charm， which caused my attention. Her beauty came from her full muscles. The confidence in her eyes was unstoppable. Sure enough， she won the top prize. Full of admiration， I made her acquaintance and shared my dilemma. I can't recall the conversation， but I do remember the confidence that inspired me and some of her words： “Just be yourself.”
Looking back， I'm still the dancing girl， but my heart has grown lighter. Something within me is dancing.

I think adults are affected by media， songs and the Internet， and that is hard enough. After reading all of the magazines and looking at the models， my friends and I agree that our least favourite day of the year is when we wear swimsuits！ It affects your whole mood and self-image for the day. Think about how hard it is for young girls if they believe “how hot you look” is how valuable you are.
Here are some ways parents can be proactive in encouraging a healthy self-image in their children.
First， teach what real value is. I think kids sometimes are confused about values. How valuable you are is not measured by how pretty you are on the outside and success is not measured by how famous you are. We were watching the Oscars and my 6-year-old son said “She is so pretty” and then quickly looked at me and said “You_are_prettier，_Mom.” And I said， “It's okay. There are many people prettier than me on the outside. I know that's not why you love me.” It is important to teach children this from an early age.
Second， tell your kids about “the grass is always greener” syndrome. It is very easy for all of us to see the glamour (魅力)， whether it is in a famous singer or the most popular girl in the school. Do not dehumanize (使失去人性) and judge famous people. Talk about what problems they might have that are different from the problems your child has and maybe some of the same struggles， like maybe wanting acceptance from peers.
At last， use your mouth. Don't be afraid to have conversations with your child about how they're feeling about ads， songs， etc. Boys too！ You are the parent！ Kids of all ages want and need boundaries whether they admit it or not. Take a stand and have confidence enough not to be followers and not to purchase clothing， music， or magazines that you don't believe send the right message to your children！

C．Showing imperfect figures.
D．Reading fashion magazines.
6．The author's son said “You are prettier， Mom.” probably ________.
A．to praise his mother

A．Lots of people like judging others.
B．Kids want to be popular in school.
C．People tend to like famous singers.
D．People always think others' life is better.

Breakfast is food for the brain and for the rest of your body， say experts in children's nutrition.And taking in those morning calories is worth it， even for people concerned about their weight， a new study finds.Middle-school students who ate breakfast were more likely to have healthy weights than those who skipped breakfast.This was true even for students who ate two breakfasts — one at home and one at school.
“Not skipping breakfast sets you up to not overeat later in the day，” concludes Marlene Schwartz.This psychologist studies obesity (肥胖) and directs the Rudd Center for Obesity & Food Policy at the University of Connecticut in Hartford.
Breakfast is considered so important that many schools now serve it as well as lunch.But at least one study has found that a lot of these kids who take part can end up eating two breakfasts， Schwartz says.People became concerned that kids who ate breakfast at home and at school might become obese.
In fact， Schwartz now says， that's not what her data have turned up.
Her group studied some 600 middle-school students.Over three years， students from 12 different schools — in fifth， sixth and seventh grades — were asked about their breakfasts.Throughout the study about 34 to 44 percent of all students said they regularly ate breakfast at home.Up to 17 percent， or almost one in every six kids， regularly ate breakfast at school.On the whole， about one in every 10 kids reported downing breakfasts both at home and at school.
Eating habits changed somewhat as the kids got older.For instance， fifth graders were more likely to regularly eat breakfast at home.But by seventh grade， 22 percent of the studied kids skipped breakfast frequently.
Surprisingly， at every age， kids who ate breakfast were less likely to be overweight.
9．What can we infer from paragraph 1？
A．Breakfast is more important to your brain.
B．Eating two breakfasts is better than eating one.
C．Eating breakfast mightn't cause kids to gain weight.
D．People concerned about their weight should skip breakfast.
10．What's the possible result of skipping breakfast according to the passage？
A．Being more popular. B．Putting on weight.
C．Becoming thinner. D．Being sick.
11．What can we learn about Schwartz's study？
A．It took her four years to finish her study.
B．Eating habits remained the same as the kids got older.
C．Three different grades' students took part in her study.
D．The number of students who ate breakfast at home was smaller.
12．What's the main idea of the passage？
A．Breakfast is more important than lunch.
B．Eating habits should change as the kids grow.
C．Kids who eat breakfast are less likely to be overweight.
D．It is important to develop a good habit of eating two breakfasts.

Don't judge a book by its cover.We have heard that advice over and over again.And it makes sense.Why should we judge someone who is overweight simply by how they look？ It has nothing to do with them as a person， and it says nothing about all they have achieved in life.
__13__ We should not judge them as healthy simply because they are thin.
We care so much about weight that we think those who succeed in keeping a “healthy weight” must be healthy.
Many studies have shown that being overweight increases the risk of diabetes， heart disease， and even death. __14__ Some studies just look at pounds.Some use body mass index (BMI) which includes both height and weight measurements.But neither one says anything about overall health for sure.
In some studies， a person's fitness has been shown to be more important than overall weight.
That means those at “normal” weight， but below average fitness could be at higher risk than fitter and heavier people. __15__
If you are thin and want to know if your health may be at risk， whole body MRIs (磁共振成像) can tell you if you are a TOFI (thin on the outside， fat on the inside)．This is thought to increase your health risk even if you have a perfect body weight. __16__ Rather， creating and keeping healthy lifestyle habits should be the goal.
Start now and you will be on your way to improving your overall health.__17__But even if it doesn't， rest assured you are still improving your health and your life.
A．The same holds true for thin people.
B．Weight loss will usually naturally follow.
C．The article mainly talks about people in Australia.
D．So weight loss should not be what we always dream of.
E．How many times do you say， “She looks great， nice and thin！”？
F．But the problem lies with how we can know we are overweight.
G．So there is no such thing as healthy weight， only healthy lifestyles.
