honest guys out there.”

has touched him. People have been approaching (coining near to) him in the street He’s had job offers and all

supposed to start. She walked to the bathroom and found Jessica in here, crying. She took her daughter into her
arms. “We’re going to say goodbye to the old Jessica,” she said. “And hi to the new Jessica.”

started. Now that it was finally happening, she was nervous.
It was a social-media post two months ago that got her here. Someone posted a photo of Jessica with a
comment about her overbite. The post was shared many times, with many people making mean remarks about her
appearance.
The bullies didn’t know the road Jessica had traveled. She underwent nine operations on her ears from age 2 to
12 years old. She was almost deaf in her right ear. Her adult teeth didn’t start coining in until she was 11 or 12, and
doctors couldn’t figure out why they were pushed outward. It got worse as she got older. Jessica had been trying for
years to get her teeth fixed, but it was always too costly.When her story got out, Maryann Udy, a dentist, got in contact with Jessica and offered her a new smile-free
of charge. The surgery was long and complicated It took several months before Jessica’s new smile was ready.

less pain, to be on the path to a new smile. Sometimes, though, it feels like something is missing from who she was.

Does Fame Drive You Crazy
Although being famous might sound like a dream comes true, today s stars, feeling like zoo animals, face
pressures that few of us can imagine. They are at the center of much of the world’s attention. Paparazzi (狗仔队)
camp outside their homes, cameras ready. Tabloids (小报) publish thrilling stories about their personal lives. Just
imagine not being able to do anything without being photographed or interrupted for a signature (签名)!
According to psychologist Christina Villarreal, celebrities—famous people—worry constantly (不断地) abouttheir public appearance. Eventually, they start to lose track of who they really are, seeing themselves the way their
fans imagine them, not as the people they were before everyone knew their names. “Over time,” Villarreal says,
“they feel separated and alone.”
The phenomenon (现象) of tracking celebrities has been around for ages. In the 4th century B. C, painters
followed Alexander the Great into battle, hoping to picture his victories for his admirers. When Charles Dickens
visited America in the 19th century, his works attracted thousands of fans, leading him to complain about his lack
of privacy. Tabloids of the 1920s ran articles about film-stars in much the same way that modern websites do.
Being famous people today, however, is a lot more difficult than it used to be. Superstars cannot move about
without worrying about photographers with modern cameras. When they say something silly or do something
ridiculous, there is always the Internet to spread the news in minutes and keep their “story” alive forever.
If fame is so troublesome, why aren’t all celebrities running away from it? The answer is there are still ways to
deal with it. Some stars stay calm by surrounding themselves with trusted friends and family or by escaping away
from big cities. They focus not on how famous they are but on what they love to do or whatever made them famous
in the first place.
Sometimes a few celebrities can get a little justice. Still, even stars who enjoy full justice often complain about
how hard their lives are. They are tired of being famous already.
28. It can be learned from the passage that stars today ________.
A. are often misunderstood by the public
B. can no longer have their privacy protected
C. spend too much on their public appearance
D. care little about how they have come into fame
29. What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?
A. Great heroes of the past were generally admired.
B. Well-known actors are usually targets of tabloids.
C. The problem faced by celebrities has a long history.
D. Works of popular writers often have a lot of readers.
30. What makes it much harder to be a celebrity today?
A. Availability of modern media. B. Huge population of fans.
C. Not enough social recognition. D. Lack of favorable chances.
31. What is author’s attitude toward modem celebrity?
A. Sincere. B. Doubtful. C. Sympathetic. D. Disapproving.
【答案】28. B 29. C 30. A 31. C【解析】
【分析】文章主要讲述了明星的艰难处境。尽管成名看似实现了梦想，但当今的明星就像动物园里的动物

alive forever.可知，想成公众人物在当今更困难，因为现代科技的快速发展，高科技相机、互联网等加快了
信息的传播。故选A。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据短文最后一段Still, even stars who enjoy full justice often complain about how hard their lives
are. They are tired of being famous already.”可知，即使明星们受到了公正的待遇，他们仍然会抱怨生活的艰
辛，甚至厌倦了成名。从still, even等词可以看出，作者对明星的遭遇是同情的，故选C。
【点睛】这是一篇议论文，短文讲述了出名可能会给我们带来烦恼。短文主题明确，内容叙述清楚。但文
章篇幅稍长，且有较多的生词，在理解上有一定的难度。题型是阅读理解，考查了细节理解题和推理判断
题。做题时，应先通读短文，了解文章的大意；然后根据题目所问，锁定文章相关的段落或语句，仔细斟
酌、比对选项，选择最佳答案。如第2小题，这个题目问的是第三段的主要大意，因此学生们应仔细阅读
第三段的内容，找出这一段的主题句，就可知这一段的大意了。再如第4小题，这是一个判断作者态度的
题目，根据短文最后一段Still, even stars who enjoy full justice often complain about how hard their lives are.
They are tired of being famous already.”可知，即使明星们受到了公正的待遇，他们仍然会抱怨生活的艰辛，
甚至厌倦了成名。从still, even等词可以看出，作者对明星的遭遇是同情的，故选C。Why Do People Blink (眨眼) Their Eyes?
People blink their eyes tens of thousands of times every day. Scientists have long believed blinking was an
involuntary movement and served mainly to keep the eyeballs wet. But a new study suggests it has a more
important purpose.
An international team of scientists from the University of California at Berkeley studied the blinking of human
eyelids. The journal Current Biology published their findings. The team said they found that blinking “repositions
our eyeballs so we can stay focused” on what we are seeing. They said that when we blink our eyelids, the eyes roll
back into their sockets—the bony area that surrounds and protects the eyes. However, the researchers found the
eyes don’t always return to the same position (位置). They said this causes the brain to tell the eye muscles (肌肉)
to reorganize our eyesight.
Gerrit Maus is the lead writer of the report. He serves as an assistant professor of psychology at Nanyang
Technological University in Singapore. Maus said, “Our eye muscles are quite sluggish (迟缓的) and imprecise (不
精确的), so the brain needs to constantly adapt (改编) its motor signals to make sure our eyes are pointing where
they should be. Our findings suggested that the brain measures the difference in what we see before and after a
blink, and orders the eye muscles to make the needed corrections.” The researchers said that without such
corrections our surroundings would appear unclear and even jumpy. They said the movement acts “like a steadicam
(摄影稳定器) of the mind.”
The researchers said they asked volunteers to sit in a dark room while storing at a small dot on a flat surface.
They used special cameras to follow the volunteer’s blinks and eye movements. After each blink, the dot was
moved one centimeter to the right. The volunteers did not notice this, but the brain did. It followed the movement
and directed the eye muscles to refocus on the dot. After the dot was moved in this way 30 times, the volunteers’
eyes changed their focus to the place where they predicted it would be.
Professor Maus said. “Even though the volunteers did not consciously register that the dot had moved, their
brains did, and adjusted (调整)with the corrective eye movements. These findings add to our understanding of how
the brain constantly adapts to (适应) changes directing our eye muscles to correct for errors in our bodies’ own
hardware.”32. According to the new study, blinking eyes can ________.
A. serve keep the eyeballs wet B. reposition eyeballs to stay focused
C. consciously correct eye movements D. make our eyes adapt to motor signals
33. From the experiment, we can learn that ________.
A. the brain directed the eye muscles to refocus on the dot
B. volunteers could see the moving dot with special cameras
C. the eyeballs could stay in the place as they were predicted
D. volunteers were aware of the dot’s movements to the right
34. The underlined word “register” in Paragraph 5 probably means ________.
A. reason B. refocus C. realize D. reserve
35. This passage shows that ________.
A. eye muscles are quite inactive and imprecise
B. the research is of great value in the eye movement
C. the brain plays an important role in seeing things clearly
D. volunteers control their blinks to follow the changes of the dots
【答案】32. B 33. A 34. C 35. C

It seems like every time you turn around, someone is talking about dieting. During gym class your best friend
always complains about her “big” hips and how she’s going on a diet to get rid of them. This focus on weight and
dieting may leave you wondering whether you need to go on a diet yourself.
The truth is that not all teens who diet actually need to lose weight. Because teens are still growing, dieting
can sometimes be harmful to their developing bodies. Other teens may mistakenly think that in order to be in top
form for their chosen sport, they need to be as thin as possible.
The best person to see when you have a question about dieting is your doctor. Your doctor can help you
determine what is a healthy weight for your body size and shape. He or she can help you decide whether you need
to be on a diet at all.
There are healthy and unhealthy ways to lose weight, and in the long run you are better off taking the healthy
route. If you and your doctor do decide that going on a diet is the right thing for you, he or she can help you come
up with a plan.
Even without seeing your doctor, you can make smart food choices that will keep you healthy. Instead of
chewing (嚼) down on chips when you get home from school, try a piece of fruit or some vegetables.
Simple low-fat substitutions (替代品) can make a huge difference in your calorie intake as well. For example,
skim or low-fat milk or water are better drink choices when you’re thirsty—soda and fruit drinks are loaded with
calories and sugar and short on nutrition (营养).
Another thing to keep in mind is that exercise can help you feel and look better. Regular exercise tones your
muscles while you burn calories and fat, and it makes you look slimmer. Remember that toning up takes time.
Running the mile in gym class once a year won’t make a difference in overall weight loss, so start slowly and work
up to it.
Whether you go on a diet or not, exercising and healthy eating are excellent ways to keep your body in great
shape Cutting down on the time you spend in front of the computer or TV can help you boost your activity level
and may even help you snack less. And research shows that people who exercise regularly are more likely tomaintain their new weight if they’ve lost weight. So, get moving and keep your health on track!
