课时检测训练31　选择性必修第三册　Unit 1　Face values 对应学生用书P359 Ⅰ.阅读理解 A (2023·江西重点中学协作体第一次联考)There are over 7 billion people in this world, with more than 7 billion different opinions about outer beauty. What you may find physically attractive can be an absolute eyesore to someone else and vice versa. And this is truly magical because it implies that regardless of a person’s physical features, there is always going to be someone out there who finds them appealing. Nowadays there are many ways you can manipulate the way you look. Plastic surgery (整容手术) and other cosmetic procedures are becoming more and more accessible and affordable. This is absolutely incredible for people who really need body changes to improve their mental health. Sadly, with social media being a massive part of our lives, far too many people are struggling with self-image issues not because there is something wrong with them, but because they are convinced they need to look a certain way to be accepted by society. So they delve into (钻研) the world of plastic surgery and they slowly lose their identities in order to fit in. In reality, what we should be encouraging is not altering our bodies, but remodeling our mindset. We should become more aware of the way we treat others and ourselves. We should be inspired to learn more languages, so we can dive into different cultures and expand our limits. Instead of spending money on looking like someone else, spend time in becoming the best version of yourself, because outer beauty fades, but the beauty within is timeless. As noted by the book A Conscious Rethink, when asked about what traits (特性) they look for in a potential long-term partner, most people name things that have nothing to do with physical appearance. Some of the features we seek the most are kindness, loyalty, patience, integrity, a good sense of humor, and a supportive nature. All of these traits can be found in anyone, regardless of the outer beauty they possess. More importantly, these are personality characteristics we seek in those we see as our potential life partners, meaning that we value them more than we value a pretty face. ［语篇导读］ 本文是一篇议论文。本文主要说明整容手术和其他美容手术受欢迎的原因，并论述了外在美会褪色而内在美才是永恒的观点。 1.What does the underlined word “manipulate” in paragraph 2 mean? A.Check.

Actually，there are some different beauty standards between the East and the West. In East Asia, freckles might be considered a “destructive weakness” for celebrities, especially actors or singers. Although normal people don’t care that much, subconsciously they might prefer a “clean” face. Generally speaking, freckles are more likely to appear if people are out in the sun frequently，and most East Asian women avoid the sun as best they can. Having freckles, instead, is a trademark for unconventional beauty in the Western world, and some call freckles “angel kisses”. For most westerners, having freckles is no longer just something you have to live with; instead, it is something to be desired. After all, not everyone is lucky enough to have freckles. When it comes to eye shapes, it seems Western and Chinese beauty standards don’t see eye to eye. Many Chinese think girls with big eyes are the most beautiful. If their eyes have a double-fold eyelid, that is considered perfect. However, most foreigners seem to prefer Chinese girls with slanted(斜的)and narrow eyes and eyebrows. Chinese known model Lyv Yan is often considered the country’s most beautiful by foreigners，while quite a few Chinese people think her appearance doesn’t fit with traditional beauty standards. Young, girly feature or hot and mature feature? Zhao Liying from China, Yui Aragaki from Japan and Lim Yoon-A from South Korea enjoy high popularity in Asia, as they boast bright faces with warm smiles， which win them lots of male fans. The three young celebrities represent Asia’s beauty standards: women with cute, girly features. Most women in Asia try their best to stay young accordingly. Unlike Chinese girls， Western girls think a more mature look shows independence and uniqueness. The superhero Wonder Woman is an ideal type for most. As ties continue to grow between China and the West, it is unavoidable that these beauty standards develop. But one thing’s for sure—no matter how you look, you are who you are, and that should be satisfaction enough. ［语篇导读］ 本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了东西方在雀斑、眼型以及年轻女性特征方面不同的审美标准。 5.What do most western people think of having freckles? A.It is something unbearable. B.It is a destructive weakness. C.It is something to wish for. D.It is a symbol of traditional beauty. 解析 细节理解题。根据“For most westerners，having freckles is no longer just something you have to live with; instead, it is something to be desired.”可知,对于大多数西方人来说,长雀斑是人们希望的事情。故选C。 答案 C 6.What do the underlined words “see eye to eye” mean in paragraph 4? A.Have the same opinion. B.Recognize their strengths. C.Misunderstand each other. D.Argue against one another. 解析 词义猜测题。根据第四段第二句“Many Chinese think girls with big eyes are the most beautiful.”可知,许多中国人认为有着大眼睛的女孩是最美的;根据第四段第四句“However，most foreigners seem to prefer Chinese girls with slanted（斜的）and narrow eyes and eyebrows.”可知,大多数外国人似乎更喜欢斜窄眼睛和眉毛的女孩。由此可推知,画线词语所在句表示谈到眼睛的形状,西方人与中国人的审美标准似乎是不一样的。由此可知,画线词语 see eye to eye 应意为“看法一样”。故选A。 答案 A 7.Why do western girls prefer to appear mature? A.They think this beauty standard is better. B.They want to look independent and unique. C.They hope to have high popularity in Asia. D.They admire Wonder Woman very much. 解析 细节理解题。根据“Unlike Chinese girls，Western girls think a more mature look shows independence and uniqueness.”可知，西方女孩认为更成熟的外表看起来独立又独特。故选B。 答案 B 8.What does the text mainly talk about? A.What Zara’s beauty standard is. B.Why Chinese people don’t like freckles. C.What causes the different beauty standards. D.How easterners and westerners think of beauty. 解析 主旨大意题。通读全文可知,文章主要介绍了东西方在雀斑、眼型及年轻女性特征方面不同的审美标准。由此可推知,D项“东方人和西方人如何看待美”能概括文章大意。故选D。 答案 D Ⅱ.完形填空 (2023·济南名校交流联考)Opening my car window，I called out，“Ma’am！Ma’am！”The only lady in the parking lot 1 until she saw me.“How nice you look today！”I said. Her face registered 2 for a second when she found I was a stranger，and then she smiled. “Thank you！”she 3 .I stared at her and felt her shoulder 4 a bit more and her final steps to her car seemed 5 . I have made it a point in recent years to compliment(赞美)people，especially women and girls.Instead of just thinking 6 in my heart that someone does a great job，I say it out loud.It’s like having a(n) 7 in my head.When I see someone who 8 a kind word，the cheerleader jumps up and down and throws her pompoms(塑料线球)in the air.As women，we have learned from our role models to be 9 .
