31、ers: the people who act as if they were born here; the people who are here and wish to be elsewhere; and the collection of virtual New Yorkers all over the world, who wish they were living in New York. These are the three states of mind and what they have in common are longing and illusion. In fact,
32、 its a city of dreamers.What makes New York special? New Yorkers are convinced of its specialnessbut Toronto is more diverse, London is larger, Washington is more powerful. So why does New York think its the capital of the world?People often explain the problems in European cities by citing inequali
33、ty. But New York today is one of the most unequal cities in America. In 2010, 1 percent of New Yorkers earned 45 percent of its income. That works out to an average of $ 3.7 million a year for the citys top 34,500 households. The average daily income of this group is greater than the average annual
34、income of the citys bottom 10 percent.So why would people still come to try their luck in this tough place? Is it opportunity or illusion that draws them?They come because any newcomer can find a place in the hierarchy of New York. If you look at a New York City restaurant, for example, the cook mig
35、ht be French, the people washing dishes might be Mexican, the hostess might be Russian, the owner might be British. They are not all equal. They earn different rates. But they work together to get food to hungry people.What New York demonstrates is this: immigration works. The city can use its immig
36、rants, even the illegal ones. Though they broke the law by illegally crossing the borders, the citys economy would be a shell of itself had they not, and it would collapse if they were deported. Attracted here by the founding myth of the city, each immigrant is seeking to escape from history, person
37、al and political. For him, New York is the city of the second chance.（分数：10.00）(1).The writer mentions the three kinds of New Yorkers to stress that _. A. they share the same longing B. they are in pursuit of dreams C. they are proud of their birthplace D. they wish to live in another place（分数：2.00）
38、A.B.C.D.(2).In the eyes of New Yorkers, their city is _. A. powerful B. diverse C. special D. large（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(3).The figures in paragraph 3 are given to show that New York _. A. favors the lucky B. favors the locals C. is a city of inequality D. is a city of opportunities（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(4).
39、People keep coming to New York because they can find jobs that _. A. challenge them B. suit them well C. pay them well D. raise their status（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(5).It is implied in the text that New York is _.

40、八、BText 2/B(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Weve read how babies stare longer and cry less when held by pretty people, and heard tales of handsome children doing better in school, given special attention by their teachers. In life, as in love, beautiful people seem to have it awfully easy. But what if we told you th
41、at when it comes to online dating, good looks could actually hurt you?According to a recent survey of 43,000 users by OK Cupid, an online dating site, the more men disagree about a womans looks, the more they end up liking her. What does that mean for ladies looking for a match? “We now have mathema
42、tical evidence that minimizing your weaknesses is the opposite of what you should do,“ says the sites co-founder, Christian Rudder. “If youre a little fat, play it up. If you have a big nose, play it up. Statistically, the guys who dont like it can only help you, and the ones who do like it will be
43、all the more excited.“The results of this study end up highlighting an idea that recent scientific research does indeed support. Which is this: the beautiful may have it good, but online, as in work and life, women who are too attractive dont always have an advantage.Beauty creates more competitiona
44、mong women, taught they must out-look each other for men and jobs and everyday satisfaction; and among men, who are competing for the most attractive prize. All of which might help explain why 47 percent of corporate recruiters believe its possible for a woman to suffer for being “too good-looking“;
45、 why attractive women tend to face heightened examination from their female peers; or, finally, why men on OK Cupid end up contacting women who may ultimately be less attractivebecause it removes the opposition. “If you suspect other men are uninterested, it means less competition,“ explains Rudder.
46、 “You might start thinking: maybe shes lonely. maybe shes just waiting to find a guy who appreciates her. at least I wont get lost in the crowd.“In the end, being beautiful will always have its blessingsbut sometimes, theres more to an advantage than meets the eye.（分数：10.00）(1).It is generally belie
