Families are charged about $7.00 a month for every child, and $10.00 for every 48 . It costs much less than any other kind of health insurance. Having health insurance is very important. With this insurance, people can go to hospital when they are sick or hurt.

Part 3 Reading and Writing

(第三部分读与写)

IX. Reading Comprehension (阅读理解)：(共50分)

A. Choose the best answer (根据文章内容，选择最恰当的答案)：(12分)

What is beauty? Ideas of beauty change over time, differ from country to country and differ from male to female. People have always tried to make themselves look beautiful and attractive.

Cosmetics (化妆品) have been used in every country in the world, even in ancient times. The Egyptians used coal to make a thick, dark eye make-up. Their skin was softened with milk and honey and they put oil on their skin to protect it from the sun. By the 1100s, the use of cosmetics had spread to Europe where many women used flour to make their skin look pale. Cosmetics, of course, are still used widely across the world today by women and even by men.

In China, a sign of beauty and the mark of a wealthy woman used to be tiny feet. "Foot-binding (裹脚) " began between the ages of four and seven. In two years, the process came to an end. The perfectly bound foot was only three inches long and was very painful. Women who had their feet bound could hardly walk. Although foot-binding no longer exists, women still damage their feet for beauty. These days, many women choose to wear high-heeled shoes. However, many are not aware of the damage that can be done to their feet and knees.

People have always done different things to change the shape of their bodies. In the past, some women used to wear some corsets to make their waists look smaller. A corset was a form of underwear, often made of whale bone and even metal. Although the old-fashioned corset made the person look slim, it was very uncomfortable and years of wearing one often did damage to the person's organs such as their lungs, heart, liver and stomach.

These days, people go to other lengths to achieve the perfect body: Dieting books fill bookshop shelves; gyms are big business; slimming products regularly appear on our TV screens. In the UK, a recent report said that most British women now expect to have cosmetic surgery (整容手术) in their lifetime! 69. From the article, we can learn that people in different places have something in common to make

themselves ______.

A) kind B) polite C) wealthy D) attractive

70. Many things were used as cosmetics by ancient Egyptians except ______.

A) flour B) coal C) milk D) oil

71. According to the passage, ______ is a picture of a corset.

72. The underlined phrase "go to other lengths" means ______.

A) make other efforts B) have other effects

C) go to other places D) make other decisions

73. Which statement is True according to the article?

A) People from different countries hold the same view on beauty.

B) Cosmetics are only for women not for men all over the world.

C) Tiny feet used to bring women lots of pain in ancient China.

D) Most British women are not in favor of having cosmetic surgery.

74. The best title of the passage might be ______.

A) The Ways of Being Beautiful B) The Definitions (定义) of Beauty

C) The Popular Cosmetic Surgeries D) The Changing Ideas of Beauty

B. Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage（选择最恰当的单词或词语完成短文)

（12分）

Stress(压力) is a problem that each individual has to face in the daily life. Everyone is affected by stressful situations such as losing one's job or disagreements with family members. One of the most valuable skills you need to learn is how to relax. Relaxation activities help to release stress. Some examples are: breathing deeply and 75 , yoga, massage, peaceful thoughts and so on.

Practicing relaxation ways regularly will enable you to reach a 76 of peace during stressful times.

Sometimes taking part in an activity can take your mind off your problems. Try to find new activities which are playful and peaceful or return to a hobby which you once enjoyed. If you are interested in learning something new, 77 taking an education class for knowledge and fun.

Another choice to consider is 78 work. There are many organizations which could benefit from your efforts(努力). While helping others, you help yourself. Select an organization which best represents your values and beliefs. You may also benefit from the organization you will favor.

When under stress, our emotions and feelings are affected. It is extremely beneficial to express those feelings to a good friend or a parent who is 79 to listen and support us. Often, just by sharing our feelings, we can better understand and deal with them.

Caring about others can help to reduce our stress. We all need to 80 and receive love, appreciation, and emotional support. We need to hug, laugh, and share our feelings with family, friends, and even our pets. Crying can also help release stress and it's a natural, emotional healing

process. Now might be the time to express your thanks and love to those you value.

75. A) quickly B) hardly C) safely D) slowly

C) Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words（在短文的空格内填入适当的词，使其

内容通顺，每空格限填一词，首字母已给):（14分）

People are attracted to a restaurant by more than just good food. Though important, good food is only a part of the whole dining experience. Equally important is the way people feel while in the restaurant. This physical and emotional response is a result of the atmosphere.

Atmosphere is made up of e 81 that makes an impression on people. The building design, the decorations, the colors of the walls, the service and the food create the atmosphere. The right atmosphere can relax g 82 and bring good feelings and repeat customers. The

p 83 atmosphere can make the food, the service and the total dining experience seem satisfying.

People want a dining experience--an e 84 from problems and everyday surroundings. The atmosphere should show a feeling of friendliness and comfort, be attractive and interestingly different. The atmosphere is remembered long though the meal is f 85 . For the restaurant owner, this means repeat customers and, hopefully, a profitable operation.

Not everyone wants the same emotional response from a restaurant's atmosphere. After working all day long, most people would prefer to eat in a quiet, relaxing atmosphere. However, for those who have worked alone in a quiet environment, a n 86 cafeteria might satisfy their needs. It is, therefore, very important to be thoroughly familiar with the type of people who you will s 87 in your workplace.

Designing the "right" atmosphere takes careful consideration. It should be designed to attract. D．Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题）（12分）

A Chinese cartoon company on Thursday launches (发起) a comic design competition in South Korea for collecting a cartoon character "Spring Wawa", which means "a doll of the Spring Festival" in Chinese, to represent culture of China's Lunar New Year.

South Korea is the first stop of the competition held by Shenjie Cartoon Comic Corporation. The competition opens to cartoonists all over the world to select a unique comic character for the Spring Festival.

"Santa Claus has spread western culture around the world and developed the economy of Christmas, which inspires me to create our own 'Spring Wawa' to spread China's traditional festival culture overseas and stimulate related economy," said the manager of Shenjie Cartoon Comic Corporation.

Impressed by the rapid development of South Korea's cartoon industry in recent years, the manager decided to come to Seoul to look for new creative ideas from cartoonists here, and thus add "more modern elements and beauty" into the design of "Spring Wawa".

"A new story of China's Spring Festival will be told by the new 'Spring Wawa'. This competition will also create new opportunities for exchanges and cooperation between China and South Korea's culture and creative industry."

This competition will last for almost a year for collecting comic design works among artists from home and abroad. The winner of the Highest Golden Award will get around 48,900 U.S. dollars.

The other stops of this competition include dozens of countries and districts around the world, among them are Thailand, Argentina, the United States and France.

I have been in love with China since 2010 and I think this is endless love. Some people can be surprised, but some people can understand and support me. I have many reasons to live in China and to be happy in this wonderful country. The most important reason is people, who are different, curious, open-minded and very friendly.

Besides, after one year in Zhejiang University, which was my first year in China, I got a great job opportunity --- work as assistant manager in a big hotel in the center of the city. Best part of this job was that this is a Chinese hotel, not an international one. There were only two foreigners --- my good friend and me working in this hotel. So I got a great chance to understand Chinese culture and practise my Chinese. But to be honest I have got even more than I supposed to, I have got the valuable experience, close friends and the feeling that I am not Laowai any more.

On the morning of Christmas Day, I looked out of window and found the ground was covered with snow, as far as I could see. It looked like a desert, a snow desert in Dalian. From a hot city in Australia, snowfall is not less than magical treasure for me. Having lovely view of white and fresh snow, my heart beat a bit faster because I wanted to go out and play. I quickly had my breakfast and left for class. I was excited to view and experience my first snowfall.

On the way, I watched a lot of students having snow fight, and making snowmen happily. A very beautiful Korean girl, my next-door neighbour, was greeting me.

Suddenly, I changed my mind and joined them instead of going to class. As I played with snowflakes in my hand, it felt like I was holding a new born baby that was very light, pure and soft. One of the girls in that group hit a snow ball towards me which struck on my face. There was big laughter by my friends. Lastly, I put my scarf and hat on the snowman to give it a final touch.
