Almost everyone thinks attractive people are happier and healthier, have better marriages and ha
22、ve more respectable occupations. Personal consultants give them better advice for finding jobs. Even judges are softer on attractive defendants. But in the executive circle, beauty can become a liability. While attractiveness is a positive factor for a man on his way up the executive ladder, it is h
23、armful to a woman. Handsome male executives were perceived as having more integrity than plainer men, effort and ability were thought to account for their success. Attractive female executives were considered to have less integrity than unattractive ones, their success was attributed not to ability
24、but to factors, such as luck. All unattractive women executives were thought to have more integrity and to be more capable than the attractive female executives. Interestingly, though, the rise of the unattractive overnight success was attributed more to personal relationships and less to ability th
25、an that of attractive overnight success. Why are attractive women not thought to be able? An attractive woman is perceived to be more feminine (女性的) and an attractive man more masculine (男性的) than the less attractive ones. Thus, an attractive woman has an advantage in traditionally female jobs, but
26、an attractive woman in a traditionally masculine position appears to lack the “masculine“ qualities required. This is true even in politics. “When the only clue is how he or she looks, people treat men and women differently,“ says, Anne Bowman, who recently published a study on the effects of attrac
27、tiveness on political candidates. She asked 125 undergraduate students to rank two groups of photographs, one of men and one of women in order of attractiveness. The students were told the photographs were of candidates for political offices. They were asked to rank them again, in the order they wou
28、ld vote for them. The results showed that attractive males utterly defeated unattractive men, but the women who had been ranked most attractive invariably received the fewest votes.（分数：10.00）(1).The word “liability“ (Line 4, Para. 1) most probably, means, “_“.（分数：2.00）A.misfortuneB.instabilityC.disa
29、dvantageD.burden(2).In traditionally female jobs, attractiveness _.（分数：2.00）A.reinforces the feminine qualities requiredB.makes women look more honest and capableC.is of primary importance to womanD.often enables women to succeed quickly(3).Bowman“s experiment reveals that when it comes to politics,
30、 attractiveness _.（分数：2.00）A.turns out to be an obstacle to menB.affects men and women alikeC.has as little effect on men as on womenD.is more of an obstacle than a benefit to women(4).It can be inferred from the passage that people“s views on beauty are often _.（分数：2.00）A.practicalB.prejudicedC.old
31、-fashionedD.radical(5).The author writes this passage to _.（分数：2.00）A.discuss the negative aspects of being attractiveB.give advice to job- seekers who are attractiveC.demand equal rights for womenD.emphasize the importance of appearance八、Text 2(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Lacking a cure for AIDS, society must o
32、ffer education, not only by public pronouncement but in classrooMs. Those with AIDS or those at high risk of AIDS suffer prejudice; they are feared by some people who find living itself unsafe, while others conduct themselves with a “bravado (冒险心理)“ that could be fatal. AIDS has afflicted a society
33、already short on humanism, open handedness and optimism. Attempts to strike it out with the offending microbe are not abetted (教唆) by preexisting social ills. Such concerns impelled me to offer the first university-level undergraduate AIDS course, with its two important aims: To address the fact tha
34、t AIDS is caused by a virus, not by moral failure or societal collapse. The proper response to AIDS is compassion coupled with an understanding of the disease itself. We wanted to foster (help the growth of) the idea of a humane society. To describe how AIDS tests the institutions upon which our soc
35、iety rests. The economy, the political system, science, the legal establishment, the media and our moral ethical philosophical attitudes must respond to the disease. Those responses, whispered, or shrieked, easily accepted or highly controversial, must be put in order if the nation is to manage AIDS
36、. Scholars have suggested that how a society deals with the threat of AIDS describes the extent to which that society has the right to call itself civilized. AIDS, then, is woven into the tapestry (挂毯) of modern society; in the course of explaining that tapestry, a teacher realizes that AIDS may bri
37、ng about changes of historic proportions. Democracy obliges its educational system to prepare students to become informed citizens, to join their voices to the public debate inspired by AIDS. Who shall direct just what resources of manpower and money to the problem of AIDS? Even more basic, who shal
38、l formulate a national policy on AIDS? The educational challenge, then, is to enlighten (启发) the individual and the societal, or public, responses to AIDS.（分数：10.00）(1).What is the passage mainly about?（分数：2.00）A.Why education must be offered about AIDS.B.How to achieve the aims of AIDS courses.C.Ri
39、sks associated with AIDS.D.Social responses to AIDS.(2).Why did the author offer the AIDS course?（分数：2.00）A.He wanted to teach people about a cure for AIDS.B.People need to be taught how to avoid those with AIDS.C.He wanted to teach the students that AIDS resulted from moral failure.D.People take im
40、proper attitudes towards AIDS and those with or at high risk of AIDS.(3).The word “afflict“ in the third sentence of the first paragraph most probably means “_“.（分数：2.00）A.benefitB.cause suffering toC.teachD.draw attention from(4).What does the author think is the correct response to AIDS?（分数：2.00）A
41、.Fear and contempt.B.Optimism and bravado.C.Understanding and compassion.D.Resentment and avoidance.(5).Which of the following can best explain “AIDS tests the institutions upon which our society rests“ according to the passage?（分数：2.00）A.AIDS is a sign of moral failure and social collapse.B.AIDS in
42、dicates that our social systems have been very inefficient.C.The responses of a society to the threat of AIDS determines whether and to what extent the society can be called civilized.D.The spreading of the fatal disease suggests that the nation“s resources have been wrongly used.九、Text 3(总题数：1，分数：1
43、0.00)The Government has almost doubled its spending on computer education in schools. Mr. William Shelton, junior Education Minister, announced that the Microelectronics education Programm (MEP) is to run for two more years with additional funding of at least 9 million. The programme began in 1980,
44、was originally due to end next year, and had a budget of 9 million. This has been raised in bits and pieces over the past year to 11 million. The programme will now run until March 1986, at a provisional cost of around 20 million. MEP provides courses for teachers and develops computer programme for
45、 classroom use of personal computers. It is run in partnership with a Department of Industry programme under which British-made personal computer are supplied to schools at half-price. In that way, virtually every secondary school has been provided with at least one computer at a central cost to the
46、 taxpayer of under 5 million. The primary schools are now under way at the turn of the year. But, as Mr. Shelton admitted yesterday: “It“s no good having the computers without the right computer programmes to put into them and a great deal more is still needed.“ Hence, MEP“s new funds. Mr. Shelton s
47、aid yesterday that MEP“s achievements in curriculum development and teacher training had shown that the computer could be used in all courses. About 15,000 secondary teachers have taken short courses in “computer awareness“ that is a necessary part of the half-price computer offerand training materi
48、als are now being provided for 50,000 primary teachers. The reasoning behind MEP is that no child now at school can hope for a worthwhile job in the future economy unless he or she understands how to deal with computers not in vocational training sense, but in learning the general skill to extract t
