16、 each ofthem the re are four choices marked A)，B)，C)and D).you shoulddicide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on theAnswer Sheet with a single line through the centre.Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:A few common misconceptions.Beauty is only skindeep.Onesphys
17、ical asset s and liabilities dont count all that much in amanagerial career.A woman should always try to look her best.Over the last 30 years,social scientists have conducted more than1,000 studies of how we react to beautiful and notsobeautifulpeople.The virtually unanimous conslusion:Looks do matt
18、er,morethan most of us realize.The data suggest,for example,thatphysically attractive individuals are more likely to be treated wellby their parents,sought out as friends,and pursued romantically.With the possible exception of women seeking managerial jobs,theyare also more likely to be hired,paid w
19、ell,and promoted.UnAmerican,you say,unfair and extremely unbelievable?Once again,the scientists have caught us mouthing pieties(虔诚)while acting justthe contrary.Their typical experiment works something like this.They give each member of a group-college students,or teachers orcorporate personel mange
20、rs-a piece of paper relating an individualsaccomplishments.Attached to the paper is a photograph.While thepapers all say exactly the same thing the pictures are different.Some s how a strikingly attractive person,some an averagelookingcharacter,and some an unusually unattractive human being.Groupmem
21、bers are asked to rate the individual on certain attributes,anything from personal warmth to the likelihood that he or she willbe promoted.Almost invariably,the better looking the person in the picture,thehigher the person is rated.In the phrase,borrowed from Sappho,that the social scientists use to
22、 sum up the common perception,whatis beautiful is good.In business,however,good looks cut both ways for women,and deeperthan for men.A Utah State University professor,who is an authorityon the subject,explains:In terms of their careers,the impact ofphysical attractiveness on males is only modest.But
23、 its potentialimpact on females can be tremendous,making it easier,for example,for the more attractive to get jobs where they are in the publiceye.On another note,though,there is enough literature now for usto conclude that attractive women who aspire(追求)to managerialpositions do not g et on as well
24、 as women who may be lessattractive.21.According to the passage,people often wrongly believe that inpursuing a career asa manager _.A)a persons preoperty or debts do not matter muchB)a persons outward appearance is not a critical qualificationC)women should always dress fashionablyD)women should not

30、 population,the factory farming industry also argues thathungry nations are benefiting from advances made by the poultry(家禽)industry.In fact,rather than helping the fight againstmalnutrition(营养不良)in hungry nations,the spread of factory farminghas,inevitably aggravated the problem.Largescale intensiv
31、e meat and poultry production is a waste of foodresources.This is because more protein has to be fed to animals in the form ofvegetable matter than can ever be recovered in the form of meat.Much of the food value is lost in the animals process of digestionand cell replacement.Neither,in the ca se of
32、 chicken,can one eatfeathers,blood,feet or head.In all,only about 44%of the liveanimal fits to be eaten as meat.This means one has to feed approximately 9-10 times as much foodvalue to the animal than one can consume from the carcass.As asystem for feeding the hungry,the effects can prove disastrous
33、.Attimes of crisis,grain is the food of life.Nevertheless,the huge increase in poultry production throughoutAsia and Africa continues.Normally British or US firms areinvolved.For instance,an American based multinational company hasthis year announced its involvement in projects in several Africancou
34、ntries.Britains largest suppliers chickens,Ross Breeders,arealso involved in projects all over the world.Because such trade is good for exports,Western governments encourgeit.In 1979,a firm in Bangladesh called Phoenix Poultry received agrant to set up a unit of 6,000 chickens and 18,000 laying hens
35、.This almost doubled the number of poultry kept in the country all atonce.But Bangladesh lacks capital,energy and food and has large numbersof unemployed.Such chickenraising demands capital for building andmachinery,extensive use of energy resources for automation,andinvolves feeding chickens with p
36、otential faminerelief protein food.At present,one of Bangladeshs main import s is food grains,because the country is unable to grow enough food to feed itspopulation.On what then can they possibly feed the chicken?26.In this passage the author argues that _.A)efficiency must be raised in the poultry
37、 industryB)raising poultry can provide more protein than growing grainC)factory farming will do more harm than good to developingcountriesD)hungry nations may benefit from the development of the poultryindustry27.According to the author,in factory,vegetable food _.A)is easy for chickens to digest.B)

39、 countriesC)create job opportunities in Asian countriesD)promote the exports of Asian countries29.The wordcarcass(Line 2,Para.3)most probably means_.A)vegetables preserved for future useB)the dead body of an animal ready to be cut into meatC)expensive food that consumers can hardly affordD)meat cann
40、ed for future consumption30.What the last paragraph tells us is the authors _.A)detailed analysis of the ways of raising poultry in BangladeshB)great appreciation of the development of poultry industry inBangladeshC)critical view on the development of the poultry industry inBangladeshD)practical sug
41、gestion for the improvement of the poultry industryin BangladeshQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:We all have offensive breath at one time or another.In most cases,offensive breath emanates from bacteria in the mouth,although thereare other more causes.Until a few years ago,the m
42、ost doctors could do was to counselpatients with bad breath about oral cleanliness.Now they arefinding new ways to treat the usually curable condition.Bad breath can happen whenever the normal flow of saliva(唾液)slows.Our mouths are full of bacteria feeding on protein in bits of foodand shed tissue.T
43、he bacteria emit evilsmelling gases,the worst ofwhich is hydrogen sulfide(硫 化物).Mouth bacteria thrive in airless conditions.Oxygenrich salivakeeps their numbers down.When we sleep,for example,the salivastream slows,and sulrueproducing bacteria gain the upper hand,producing classicmorning breath.Alco
44、hol hunger,too much talking,breathing through the mouth duringexerciseanything that dries the mouth produces bad breath.So canstress,though its not understood why.Some peoples breath turnssour every time they go on a job interview.Saliva flow gradually slows with age,which explains why the elderlyha
45、ve more bad breath trouble than younger people do.Babies,however,who make plenty of saliva and whose mouths containrelatively few bacteria have characteristically sweet breath.For most of us,the simple,drymouth variety of bad breath iseasily cured.Eating or drinking starts saliva and sweeps away man
46、yof the bacteria.Breakfast often stops morning breath.Those with chronic dry mouth find that it helps to keep gum,hardcandy,or a bottle of water or juice around.Brushing the teethwipes out drymouth bad breath because it clears away many of theoffending bacteria.Surprisingly,one thing that rarely wor
47、ks is mouthwash.The liquidcan mask badbreath odor with its own smell,but the effect lastsno more than an hour.Some mouthwashes claim to kill the bacteriaresponsible for bad breath.The trouble is,they dont necessarilyreach all offending germs.Most bacteria are well protected frommouthwash under thick
48、 layers of mucus(粘液).If the mouthwash containsalcohol-as most do-it can intensify the problem by drying out themouth.31.The phrase emanate fromin Paragraph 1 most probably means_.A)thrive on B)account forC)originate from D)descend from32.Which of the following is mentioned as one of the causes of ba
49、dbreath?A)Tooth trouble B)Sulfurrich food.C)Too much exercise.D)Mental strain.33.According to the passage,alcohol has something to do with badbreath mainly because_.A)it keeps offending bacteria from reproducingB)its smell adds to bad dreathC)it kills some helpful bacteriaD)it affects the normal flo
50、w of saliva34.Mouthwashes are not an effective cure for bad breath mainlybecause _.A)they cant mask the bad odor long enoughB)they cant get to all the offending bacteriaC)their strong smell mixes with bad breath and makes it worse.D)they cant cover the thick layers of mucus35.We can infer from this
