1、2021广东考研英语考试真题卷本卷共分为1大题50小题，作答时间为180分钟，总分100分，60分及格。一、单项选择题（共50题，每题2分。每题的备选项中，只有一个最符合题意） 1.Text 1A few common misconceptions. Beauty is only skin-deep. One’s physical assets and liabilities don’t count all that much in a managerial career. A woman should always try to look her best.Over
2、the last 30 years, social scientists have conducted more than 1,000 studies of how we react to beautiful and not-so-beautiful people. The virtually unanimous conclusion: Looks do matter, more than most of us realize. The data suggest, for example, that physically attractive individuals are more like
3、ly to be treated well by their patents, sought out as friends, and pursued romantically. With the possible exception of women seeking managerial jobs, they are also more likely to be hired, paid well, and promoted.The scientists’ typical experiment works something like this. They give each mem
4、ber of a group-college students, perhaps, or teachers or corporate personnel managers a piece of paper relating an individual’s accomplishments. Attached to the paper is a photograph. While the papers all say exactly the same thing the pictures are different. Some show a strikingly attractive
5、person, some an average looking character, and some an unusually unattractive human being. Group members are asked to rate the individual on certain attributes, anything from personal warmth to the likelihood that he or she will be promoted.Almost invariably, the better looking the person in the pic
6、ture, the higher the person is rated. In the phrase, borrowed from Sappo, that the social scientists use to sum up the common perception, what is beautiful is good.In business, however, good looks cut both ways for women, and deeper than for men. A Utah State University professor, who is an authorit
7、y on the subject, explains: in terms of their careers, the impact of physical attractiveness on males is only modest. But its potential impact on females can be tremendous, making it easier, for example, for the more attractive to get jobs where they are in the public eye. On another note, though, t
8、here is enough literature now for us to conclude that attractive women who aspire to managerial positions do not get on as well as women who may be less attractive.Experiments by scientists have shown that when people evaluate individuals on certain attributes（）Athey observe the principle that beaut
9、y is only skin-deep.Bthey do not usually act according to the views they support.Cthey give ordinary-looking persons the low ratings.Dthey tend to base their judgment on the individual's accomplishments.2.Text 2Now and again I have had horrible dreams, but not enough of them to make me Jose my d
10、elight in dreams. To begin with, I like the idea of dreaming, of going to bed and lying still and then, by some queer magic, wandering into another kind of existence. I could never understand why grown- ups took dreaming so calmly when they could make such a fuss about any holiday. This still puzzle
11、s me. I am mystified by people who say they never dream and appear to have no interest in the subject. It is much more astonishing than if they said they never went out for a walk. Most people - or at least most Western Europeans - do not seem to accept dreaming as part of their lives. They appear t
12、o see it as an annoying little habit, like sneezing or yawning.I have never understood this. My dream life does not seem as important as my waking life only because there is far less of it, but to me it is important. As if there were at least two extra continents added to the world, and lightning ex
13、cursions running to them at any moment between midnight and breakfast. Then again, the dream life, though queer and confusing and unsatisfactory in many respects, has its own advantages. The dead are there, smiling and talking. The past is there, some-times all broken and confused but occasionally a
14、s fresh as a daisy. And perhaps, the future is there too, waving at us. This dream life is often overshadowed by huge mysterious anxieties, with luggage that cannot be packed and trains that refuse to be caught; and both persons and scenes there are not as dependable and solid as they are in waking
15、life, so that Brown and Smith merge into one person while Robinson splits into two, and there are thick woods outside the bathroom door and the dining- room is somehow part of a theater balcony; and there are moments of sorrow or terror in the dream world that are worse than anything else we have kn
16、own under the sun. Yet this other life has its interests, its enjoyments, its satisfactions, and, at certain rare intervals, a peaceful glow or a sudden excitement, like glimpses of another form of existence altogether, that we cannot match with open eyes.What has the author never understood（）AMost
17、people like sneezing or yawing.BMost people consider dreaming to be all unimportant habit.CMost people treat sneezing or yawning as an unimportant little habit.DMost people regard dreaming as an unpleasant little habit.3.Text 2Now and again I have had horrible dreams, but not enough of them to make

This fallacy has been again and again exposed; but granting the plea true, the same apology may, of course, be made for blackmail, or any other form of robbery. It might be ( though practically it never is) as
