Ⅰ.阅读理解
[2021·郑州模拟]Have you ever heard someone say “You totally look like you're a Jessica” or something similar? People seem to think that they know what kind of person a “Jessica” or a “Michael” looks like. Why is this?
According to a study published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, humans tend to associate people's names with their appearances, and can even guess someone's name based on how they look.
Researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel, collected thousands of photos of people's faces. They labeled (贴标签于) each photo with four names. Then, they asked volunteers to guess which of the four names was correct.
The volunteers were able to guess the right name 38% of the time. It seems that certain characteristics of faces give them clues about someone's name, Reader's Digest reported.
However, this only worked when the volunteers looked at names from their own culture. In addition, the volunteers were not as good at guessing the real names of people who used nicknames (昵称) more often than their real names. This may show that a person's appearance is affected by their name only if they use it often.
“This kind of facename matching happens because of a process of selffulfilling prophecy (预言), as we become what other people expect us to become,” Ruth Mayo from Tile university told science news website EurekAlert.
Earlier studies have shown that gender (性别) and race stereotypes (刻板印象) can affect a person's appearance. The researchers believe there are also similar stereotypes about names. For example, people tend to think that men named Bob should have rounder faces because the word itself looks round. People may think that women named Rose are beautiful. They expect them to be “delicate” and “female”, just like the flower they are named for.
1.How is this article developed?
A.By giving examples. B.By asking questions.
C.By doing an experiment.
D.By comparing different cases.
2.What can be inferred from the study?
A.Volunteers found it much easier to guess nicknames.
B.Names have different associations in different cultures.
C.Volunteers could guess the characteristics of the interviewees.
D.The people in the photos and volunteers were from the same culture.
3.Why do some people look like their names according to Ruth Mayo?
A.They want to please everyone around them.
B.They don't want to be different from others.
C.They tend to become what others expect them to become.
D.They like to copy famous people who share the same name.
4.What may be the best title for this passage?
A.What Determines Our Names
B.Why We Look Like Our Names
C.How We Get Rid of Our Stereotypes
D.How Stereotypes Affect People's Looks
Ⅰ.阅读理解
1.C 篇章结构题。本文第一段通过疑问句Why is this?引出话题,第二段介绍了研究结果,第三段起开始介绍实验过程及结果。由此可知这篇文章是通过做一项实验来展开的。故选C。
2.B 推理判断题。根据第五段“However, this only worked when the volunteers looked at names from their own culture.”一句可知这一实验结果仅对于判断自己文化里的名字有效,因此可知在不同的文化里名字的含义不同。故选B。
3.C 推理判断题。根据第六段“‘This kind of facename matching happens because of a process of selffulfilling prophecy(预言), as we become what other people expect us to become,’”一句可知脸和名字之间的联系是由于自证预言的结果,因为我们会变成人们期待我们成为的样子。故选C。
4.B 主旨大意题。本文第一段通过疑问句Why is this?引出话题,文章通过一项实验证明了一个很有意思的现象:人们倾向于通过相貌可以判断一个人的名字。研究人员认为这一现象主要是由于人们对一些名字形成了刻板的印象。故选B。
After the Gold
Congratulations! You’ve won the gold medal! Stand still while the photo flashes (闪光灯) pop and TV journalists ask how it feels. Thousands of new followers on social media, meanwhile, are waiting for what you have to say.
Then, prepare for a different kind of downhill.
Diann Roffe knows the experience well. The American Alpine ski racer (高山滑雪运动员) won a gold medal at the 1994 Lillehammer Winter Olympics after winning a silver at the 1992 Albertville Games. She immediately announced her retirement. She was 26, an age when most people have just begun a career.
Joining society at 26 can be tough. A professional athlete’s life is remarkably self-centered. You wake up taking your heart rate. You think of your own workout goals. You write down what you eat. After years of self-focus, if everything works out just right, you win. Most people will never experience a high that high. But there’s a downside.
“It was like being taken up to the highest mountain peak to see the view, and then being brought down, never to be there again,” said Roffe. In the first years after her win, Roffe thought, “Here I am struggling with the masses to make ends meet and get school done, seeking that extraordinary feeling again.”
Roffe’s friend, speed skater Cathy Turner, was the darling after she won a gold at the 1992 Albertville Games. “I woke up every day with a long to-do list,” she recalled her early days after retirement. “It was like, ‘What speech am I giving? What company am I going to address?’ I was Cathy the skater, the Olympian. Then I was Cathy the motivational speaker.”
Turner found it difficult to make a transition out of the sport. She returned to compete at the 1994 Lillehammer Winter Olympics, where she won another gold. She retired again, turned her attention to computers, but soon found herself with marital (婚姻的) troubles. Turner escaped her troubles the only way she knew — she trained for the 1998 Games, where she didn’t win a medal.
If their stories illustrate how difficult post-gold years can be, Roffe and Turner also show why winning athletes often eventually succeed.
“Think of what these people develop!” said California sports psychologist Doug Gardner. “Perseverance. Tenacity in dealing with failure. These skills are very useful in other aspects of life.”
Turner combined her perseverance with her love of computer technology. She finally became a valued database (数据库) manager at a company in New York state. Roffe, 23 years after her retirement, runs a successful business which makes locker (储物柜) systems for team locker rooms, resorts and gyms.
1. Which of the following statements about Diann Roffe is true?
A. She won her first Olympic gold medal in 1992.
B. She was invited to address many big companies after her retirement.
C. She has taken part in the Olympic Games three times in all.
D. She has become a successful businesswoman.
2. According to the article what is the “downside” of winning Olympic gold medals?
A. Athletes will have many sleepless nights as TV journalists pour in.
B. Athletes will have a hard time deciding what to say to new followers on social media.
C. Athletes will find it challenging to relive such great feelings in daily life.
D. Athletes earn small salaries and most of them will find it hard to make ends meet after retirement.
3. Doug Gardner thinks winning athletes can achieve success in life as well because ______.
A. they focus remarkably well on themselves
B. most of them are very strong and healthy
C. they tend to keep trying despite difficulties
D. they know how to motivate others
4. We can tell from the article that Roffe felt happy after returning from the 2014 Sochi Winter Games because ____.
A. American Alpine ski racers won many gold medals
B. she felt she had finally made a transition out of her sport
C. the U.S.A. team used the products of her company
D. her husband and kids accompanied her to the races
【答案】1. D 2. C 3. C 4. B

How Disney grew its $3 billion Mickey Mouse business — by selling to adults
In March 2019, Gucci began selling a $4,500 purse in the shape of Mickey Mouse’s head. Between the creature’s round black ears is a small handle embossed (凸印) with the word “Gucci.” On the brand’s website, a male model stares seriously into the camera without the slightest trace of irony (讽刺) that he is, in fact, carrying around the head of a children’s cartoon character.
It’s perhaps the most luxurious Mickey Mouse products designed for adults. ___16___ Maybelline created makeup sets with packaging covered in Mickey’s face. Uniqlo made dozens of graphic T-shirts with Mickey in various poses. So as not to miss out on the action, Apple launched $300 Beats headphones that paid homage to (向……致敬) the Mouse.
According to The Wall Street Journal, Mickey Mouse and his friends sold $3 billion in merchandise (周边商品) in 2018, a figure that includes both adult and children’s products.
This brings up the question: Why would adults wear items decorated with the face of a smiling rodent in the first place? What accounts for the enduring appeal of this anthropomorphized (拟人化的) mouse, while other Disney characters, such as Anna from Frozen, hardly ever appear in adult products?
Mickey Mouse was big business almost as soon as he made his debut (首次亮相) in Walt Disney’s animated short Steamboat Willie (《汽船威利号》) in 1928. Within five years, Mickey was earning $1 million a year in merchandise sales. These products were largely targeted at children, including stuffed toys, trains, and nursery (托儿所) wallpaper.
Everything changed in the years after World War II. ___17___ For one thing, Mickey was nearly twenty years old, which meant that the first audience, who enjoyed the cartoons as children, were now in their thirties. Disney was willing to transform Mickey into a symbol of innocence in the postwar years, when people were desperate for something hopeful to cling to.
All the marketing worked. In 1947, products featuring Disney characters brought in $100 million in revenue (收益) in merchandise. In addition to kids’ products, many of the items sold were for adults, such as radios and phonographs (留声机).
____18____ He made Mickey’s face and body rounder, and eyes larger, like those of a baby. Scientists have shown that adults are more drawn to childlike faces. That look is more likely to subconsciously (潜意识地) produce a greater level of attachment in the viewer.
____19____ For instance, the company has done everything in its power to ensure that they do not use images of Mickey drinking and smoking.
By and large, though, the symbolism Mickey represents is the one Disney has put forth: that of innocence and positivity. ____20____ In World War II, people used Mickey to help cope with the horrors before them. This might also help explain why Mickey Mouse has been popular over the past few years when many people are experiencing political instability.
A. Over the decades, Disney is always sensitive about how brands portray Mickey when it licenses his face.
B. Why was this effective at getting adults’ attention?
C. This is perhaps why adults seem drawn to him during times of trouble.
D. At that point, demand for products bearing Mickey’s face among adults decreased.
E. But it’s just one of many that has flooded the market.
F. Disney kept developing the character to make him more and more universally appealing.
G. Disney’s goal was clearly to make the character universally known and loved.
【答案】16. E 17. D 18. F 19. A 20. C

二、阅读理解
A
My daughters are lovely and attractive. The 4-yearold has big blue eyes and easy laughter. The 7-year old's long strawberry blond hair and sweet smile are already turning the boys' heads. I love everything about these girls. and they know it.
But I try not to tell them they' re beautiful. My young daughters are totally innocent about the pressures of being a woman in our society. They know nothing about plastic surgery, diets. "feeling fat", or eating disorders. We adults know all too much about such things and in the face of this cruel reality we tend to start telling our girls,as soon and often as possible, how beautiful they are. Here's the thing. though. What we're also doing is bringing the beauty pressure home to our littlest girls. The more I talk about beauty and looks, even in a positive way. ,the more I'm conveying the importance of those things.
However, it doesn't mean I don't praise my girls. Instead of saying "You look beatutiful!" I might say the more specific "Don't you look fancy today!" or "Those colors go so well together. " It means that I treat my daughters not as my little dolls, but as real people who are developing their own sense of self and style. It means that they are in change of how they look.
Naturally, I buy most of my girls clothes. But I don't usually manage their outfit (整套衣服)choices. My daughters can go girly with necklaces and head-to-toe pink, or they can choose to give up dresses altogether. Of course we've seen some mismatching, but they own those styles. They never ask if they look pretty, and they walk with an easy confidence that has nothing to do with what l or anyone else will say about how they look. And that's the confident spirit I want them to take into their teens and adulthood.
(1)What do the author's two daughters have in common?
A.Both like to smile.
B.Both have blond hair.
C.Both like strawberries.
D.Both have big blue eyes.
(2)Why is the author unwilling to tell her girls that they are beautiful?
A.She prefers inner beauty.
B.She expects them to face reality.
C.She wants them to focus less on it.
D.She doesn't think they can understand it.
(3)How does the author treat her daughters?

C
Can you be too beautiful? It is hardly a problem that most of us have to bother — as much as we might like to dream that it were the case.
Yet the blessings and curses of beauty have been a long-standing interest in psychology. Do those blessed with shiny faces and an attractive body live in a cloud of appreciation — or does it sometimes pay to be ordinary?
At the most basic level, beauty might be thought to carry a kind of halo (光环) around it; we see that someone has one good quality, and by association, our deep mind may assume that they have other good ones too.
Even in the courts, a pleasing appearance can work its magic. Attractive criminals are likely to get less strict sentences, or to escape punishment entirely; attractive plaintiffs (原告), meanwhile, are more likely to win their case and get bigger financial settlements. “It's an effect seen everywhere,” says Walker.
But if beauty pays in most circumstances, there are still situations where it can have opposite results. While attractive men may be considered better leaders, for instance, hidden sexist prejudices (偏见) can work against attractive women, making them less likely to be hired for high-level jobs that require power. And as you might expect, good-looking people of both sexes run into envy — one study found that if you are interviewed by someone of the same sex, they may be less likely to employ you if they judge that you are more attractive than they are.
More worryingly, being beautiful or handsome could harm your medical care. We tend to link good looks to health, meaning that illnesses are often taken less seriously when they affect the good-looking. When treating people for pain, for instance, doctors tend to take less care over the more attractive people.
Ultimately, scientists point out that focusing too much on your appearance can itself be harmful if it creates stress and anxiety — even for those already blessed with good looks. “If you are crazy about attractiveness, it may affect your experience and interactions,” she says. It's an outdated saying, but no amount of beauty can make up for a bad personality. As the writer Dorothy Parker put it so elegantly: “Beauty is only skin deep, but ugly goes clean to the bone.”
(1)From paragraph 1, we can learn that _______.
A.some may be bothered by their unattractive appearance
B.most people are not afraid of being too beautiful
C.we might always dream about being bothered by others
D.being too beautiful can be a problem bothering everyone
(2)Which is the benefit for beautiful people?
A.All attractive plaintiffs have more chances to get away with punishment.
B.Women with pleasing appearance will always be considered as better leaders.
C.Good-looking people are often regarded as having many good qualities.
D.Beautiful criminals are more likely to persuade the judge and win the case.
(3)The writer mentioned the underlined sentence in the last paragraph to _______.
A.persuade us to pay more attention to our looks from now on
B.suggest that beauty can help make a better personality
C.encourage us to focus more on improving our personality
D.ask ugly people to have more confidence in their personality
(4)What might be the best title for the passage?
A.Beauty, a blessing?
B.Sexist Prejudice.
C.Real beauty.
D.Benefits Beauty holds.
【答案】 (1)B
(2)C
(3)C
(4)A
【解析】这是一篇说明文。介绍了美给人们带来的积极因素和消极因素。重点介绍了美给人们带来的消极因素。
(1)细节理解题。由第一段Can you be too beautiful? It is hardly a problem that most of us have to bother — as much as we might like to dream that it were the case.可知,这并不是一个我们大多数人都要操心的问题,我们梦想着自己很漂亮。故选 B。
(2)细节理解题。由第三段At the most basic level, beauty might be thought to carry a kind of halo (光环) around it; we see that someone has one good quality, and by association, our deep mind may assume that they have other good ones too.可知,外表好看的人经常被认为有很多好品质。故选C。
(3)推理判断题。由最后段but no amount of beauty can make up for a bad personality. As the writer Dorothy Parker put it so elegantly: “Beauty is only skin deep, but ugly goes clean to the bone.”可知,但再多的美也弥补不了坏的人格。正如作家多萝西·帕克所说的:“美只浅及皮毛,丑却深入骨髓。”意在鼓励我们要提高自身内在的人格。故选C。
(4)标题归纳题。由后三段可知,重点介绍了美给人们带来的消极因素以及作者希望人们不要过多的关注外表而是要提高自身内在的人格。故选A。
【点评】考查阅读理解。本文涉及细节题、推断题和主旨题三种常考题型,细节题要注意从文中寻找答案;推断题需要联系上下文,推断出需要的信息;主旨题需要通读全文,了解大意之后找出最适合的标题。
D
Being able to tell human faces apart is a skill that almost every person has, although some are far better at it than others. But a new study out from the journal Scientific Reports says that this is not just a skill that humans possess. Even fish can do it.
Following up on research studying different species' abilities to recognize human faces (sheep, dogs, cows, horses, and-birds have all been tried), the researchers from the University of Oxford and the University of Queensland decided to pick an animal that does not have an evolved neocortex, the part of the brain that processes sight and sounds, and does not have a close relationship with humans. That way, there would be no reason why these test subjects would have a past history of identifying human faces. So they picked the archerfish, a reef fish variety that shoots water into the air to knock its prey out of the sky. They used this adaptation to have the fish spray water at a face on a monitor hanging over their tanks for a reward. Most of the fish were able to pick out their learned face, even when colors were taken away or methods were used to make the face shapes unclear.
This study gives more backing to the hypothesis that differentiating between faces is not just a skill that big -brained organisms are born with. It is possible that a good portion of recognizing faces is learned over time. The development of the neocortex may contribute only to quickly process a large number of faces in varying situations. But more work needs to be conducted to find a deeper link to this possible learned behavior. The sample size of this study was very small—only eight fish were used altogether. Also, the faces displayed on the monitor were only white, female faces from a German database, shown in a frontal view, with no expressions. Other animal trials have shown that some species, like pigeons, respond more to differing angles and varied expressions.
(1)What is the purpose of this passage?
A.To improve a scientific experiment design.
B.To present the differences between species.
C.To clarify how animals tell human faces apart.
D.To show animals can recognize human faces.
(2)Why were the archerfish chosen as test subjects?
A.They are cleverer than other species.
B.They have sharp vision and hearing.
C.They aren't closely related to humans.
D.They have a past history of identifying human faces.
(3)What is the author's attitude toward the study?
A.Cautious.
B.Negative.
C.Consistent.
D.Sympathetic.
(4)Which of the following is suggested for similar studies in the future?
A.Including more test subjects.
B.Enlarging the human faces.
C.Employing more male researchers.
D.Using black-and-white pictures.
【答案】 (1)D
(2)C
(3)A
(4)A
【解析】本文是一篇说明文,《科学报告》杂志的一项新研究表明,分辨人脸不仅仅是人类所拥有的技能,鱼也能做到。文章说明了研究人员用射水鱼来进行研究的原因,以及试验过程。作者对这项研究持谨慎态度,认为还需要做更多的工作来找到这种可能的习得行为的更深层次的联系。
(1)考查写作意图。根据第一段中的“But a new study out from the journal Scientific Reports says that this is not just a skill that humans possess. Even fish can do it.”但《科学报告》杂志的一项新研究表明,这不仅仅是人类所拥有的技能。甚至鱼也能做到。结合文章说明了《科学报告》杂志的一项新研究表明,分辨人脸不仅仅是人类所拥有的技能,鱼也能做到。文章说明了研究人员用射水鱼来进行研究的原因,以及试验过程。作者对这项研究持谨慎态度,认为还需要做更多的工作来找到这种可能的习得行为的更深层次的联系。由此可推知,这篇文章的目的是表明动物可以识别人的脸。故选D。
(2)考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“Following up on research studying different species' abilities to recognize human faces (sheep, dogs, cows, horses, and-birds have all been tried), the researchers from the University of Oxford and the University of Queensland decided to pick an animal that does not have an evolved neocortex, the part of the brain that processes sight and sounds, and does not have a close relationship with humans. That way, there would be no reason why these test subjects would have a past history of identifying human faces. So they picked the archerfish, a reef fish variety that shoots water into the air to knock its prey out of the sky.”继研究不同物种识别人脸的能力后(羊、狗、牛、马、鸟都试过),牛津大学和昆士兰大学的研究人员决定选择一种没有进化的新皮层(大脑中处理视觉和声音的部分)、与人类关系不密切的动物。这样一来,这些测试对象就没有理由会有过去识别人脸的历史。所以他们选择了射水鱼,这是一种礁石鱼的品种,会向空中射水,把猎物打到天上去。可知,选择射水鱼作为实验对象是因为他们和人类关系不是很密切。故选C。
(3)考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的“But more work needs to be conducted to find a deeper link to this possible learned behavior. The sample size of this study was very small—only eight fish were used altogether. Also, the faces displayed on the monitor were only white, female faces from a German database, shown in a frontal view, with no expressions. Other animal trials have shown that some species, like pigeons, respond more to differing angles and varied expressions.”但是还需要做更多的工作来找到这种可能的习得行为的更深层次的联系。这项研究的样本量非常小——总共只使用了8条鱼。此外,显示器上显示的面孔都是来自德国数据库的白色女性面孔,以正面视图显示,没有表情。其他的动物实验表明,一些物种,比如鸽子,对不同的角度和不同的表达有更多的反应。可推知,作者对这项研究持谨慎态度。故选A。
(4)考查推理判断。根据最后一段中“The sample size of this study was very small—only eight fish were used altogether.”这项研究的样本量非常小——总共只使用了8条鱼。可推知,文章建议今后开展类似的研究时,应注意“包括更多的测试对象”。故选A。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解,推理判断和写作意图三个题型的考查,是一篇科研类阅读,要求考生在捕捉细节信息的基础上,进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系,进行分析,推理,概括和归纳,从而选出正确答案。

【答案】 given;bigger;his;However;that;being;for;judgement;a;harms
【解析】本文是一篇议论文,讨论了整容给人们带来的负面影响及什么是真正的美。
(1)考查非谓语动词。句意:如果给选择的机会,很多人至少会改变他们外貌的一个方面。本句主语a great many people与动词give构成被动关系,要用过去分词表示被动。所以要填given。
(2)考查形容词。句意:他们会要求医生给他一个更直的鼻子,更大的嘴唇等。句中比较级bigger与前面的straighter构成并列结构,所以填bigger。
(3)考查代词。句意:首先,一个人的外表是他或她父母亲的赐福。人的性别有男有女,用his和her构成并列关系,故填his。
(4)考查副词。句意:做完隆胸手术以后,很多人看起来比以前更加性感。然而,很多人后来都被诊断患有乳房疾病。根据句意可知上下文是转折关系,且横线前面有符合隔开,要填表示转折意义的副词however引导上下文。故填However。
(5)考查表语从句。句意:更严重的影响是她们冒着不能喂奶的危险。句中that引导表语从句,在句中不充当任何成分,只是一个引导词而已。故填that。
(6)考查非谓语动词。句意:更严重的影响是她们冒着不能喂奶的危险。risk doing sth固定短语“冒险做某事”,和be able to do sth连用;句中要用being able to…做risk的宾语。故填being。
(7)考查介词。句意:第二,倡导这样的做法会在判断美的方面误导人们。动词advocate与介词for连用,表示倡导某事。故填for。
(8)考查名词。第二,倡导这样的做法会在判断美的方面误导人们。在定冠词the的后面通常要加名词,本句中要用名词形式做介词in的宾语,故填judgement。
(9)考查冠词。句意:这种做法和关于人造美的争论会让那些形成正确的美的概念的人很困惑。句中名词concept意为“概念”,是一个可数名词,用不定冠词a修饰,表示泛指。故填a。
(10)考查名词。句意:关于这种行为可能会带来的上文的可能的害处…...。在英语里形容词的后面通常接名词代词,句中使用形容词possible修饰名词harm,上文提及了不止一个害处,要用复数形式。故填harms。
【点评】本题考点涉及非谓语动词,形容词,代词,副词,表语从句,介词,名词以及冠词等多个知识点的考查,是一篇生活类阅读,要求考生在理解细节信息的基础上,进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系,并结合相关语法知识,进行分析推理,从而写出正确的单词形式。
