Ⅰ.阅读理解
(2024·益阳高二期末)From chicken feet socks to green fish head masks,from sad frog toys to dinosaur costumes,“ugly” products have become popular among young people.
On a social media platform,there is a group called Protection of Ugly Things with more than 200,000 members.They post “ugly things” they see and buy in daily life.Many of the comments below the posts are “cute” and “the more I look at it,the more I love it”.
Some museums have also followed the trend and produced many “ugly” but impressive cultural and creative products.For example,on June 14,2022,the Gansu Provincial Museum brought out a stuffed toy.It's based on its famous bronze sculpture,known as Galloping Horse Treading on a Flying Swallow.
The toy recreates the details of the sculpture in a cute and cartoon style.The horse puts on a crooked smile,standing on a chubby green bird.This makes the toy “more fashionable and more fun”,so it can connect with ordinary people,the museum said.
In fact,some of the “ugly” products can also be useful.Yin Peixin,from Hubei,has a cabbage dog toy.Unlike others,she doesn't find it ugly.“It's a creative design to mix cabbage with a dog.The toy makes me feel better when I'm upset.It also serves as a mini pillow to help me have a good sleep,” said Yin.
According to a university professor,the rise in the popularity of ugly things means that young people want to show that they're different.Suffering from tiredness of “perfect” items,they hope to get pleasure and a new taste of life from something a little more “ugly”.

Ⅱ.七选五阅读
Are you happy with your appearance?1.
“Almost all the girls with single-fold eyelids(单眼皮) in our class have had double eyelid operations,”said Zeng,a Senior 2 student from Chengdu.Zeng had the same surgery done this summer.2.
From popular photo editing apps to plastic surgery,it seems that large eyes,pale skin and a skinny body are the only standard for beauty these days.But can following this standard really make us feel good about ourselves?
3. According to a report,over six in ten girls choose not to take part in certain daily activities,such as attending school,because they feel bad about their looks.As many as 31 percent of teenagers avoid speaking up in class because they worry that others will notice their looks.
Many teenagers are upset about their appearances because they believe in unrealistic standards of beauty,experts say.4. Seeing all these things can make anyone believe that they're too dark,too fat,too short,or too tall.
However,trying to live up to strict standards can make us feel anxious.What troubles us is not just our “imperfect” looks,but the fact that we criticize ourselves too much.
5. Plus size(大号的) models are being featured in some fashion shows.All of us should be just as confident as they are.

F.It's not uncommon for teenagers to feel confident about their appearances.
G.Perfect faces and bodies are everywhere in advertising,TV shows and social media.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文。现在许多人对自己的外貌不满意,实际上,真正困扰我们的不是我们“不完美”的外表,而是我们太过自责和挑剔的心态。本文建议我们应该自信地接纳真实的自我。
1.D [解析]上文提问“你对自己的外貌满意吗”,下文提出“班上几乎所有单眼皮的女孩子都做了双眼皮手术”。故设空处应该表达“有些女孩对自己的外貌不满意”,D项“一些青少年可能会对自己的外表持消极的态度”承上启下,符合语境。
2.E [解析]根据前文语境及“Zeng had the same surgery done this summer.(Zeng今年夏天也做了同样的手术。)”可知,E项“她和她的许多同学认为大眼睛更漂亮”符合语境,故选E。
3.B [解析]根据下文中的“over six in ten girls choose not to take part in certain daily activities,such as attending school,because they feel bad about their looks(超过60%的女孩选择不参加某些日常活动,比如上学,因为她们对自己的外表感到不满意)”可知,B项“外貌焦虑的现象在青少年中很常见”符合语境。
4.G [解析]根据空前“专家说,许多青少年对自己的外表感到不安,因为他们相信不现实的美貌标准”以及空后表述青少年看到到处都是这些就会觉得自己有许多缺点可知,G项“完美的面孔和身材在广告、电视节目和社交媒体上随处可见”承上启下,故选G。
5.A [解析]该空是本段的主旨。根据空后的内容“Plus size models are being featured in some fashion shows.All of us should be just as confident as they are.(大码模特在一些时装秀中很有特色。我们都应该像他们一样自信。)”可知,A项“美来自不同的体形和高矮胖瘦”符合语境,故选A。

Ⅳ.读后续写
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
(2024·武汉高二检测)A couple of years ago,just as I do every winter,I bagged up all the items in my closet that I no longer wore,along with the clothing my sons had outgrown(长得穿不下).I issued a call to action to all of my family and friends,asking them to do the same.It is always my hope to repurpose(重新利用) those things that do nothing more than take up space in our homes,things other people might make better use of.Nothing bothers me more than selfishly squirreling things away,things that we know we will never use or wear,while people in our community go without.
I found an ugly pair of hand-knitted(手工编织) socks in one of the bags donated by a friend.Not to be mean,but they were a bad mixture of colored yarn(纱线):orange,purple,yellow and blue.I had to decide—garbage or donation? It wasn't like they were unusable.They were simply unpleasant to look at,surely not something anyone would choose to wear.I imagine they were a homemade gift gone bad.
I put the ugly socks in the garbage,but ten minutes later,I took them back and put them in the donation pile.Later that afternoon,my mother and I drove down to Madison Avenue in downtown Phoenix.Every winter she and I load up my Jeep with our own cast-offs(自己不穿而赠人的旧衣服) and the donations from friends,and we take them downtown,along with food and water,to distribute to the men and women living on the street.Sometimes I even get my boys involved.
On this particular afternoon,as Mom and I distributed warm clothing and hot food to a small crowd of people outside a local homeless shelter,I reached into the bag and pulled out the last of the donations—the ugly socks.Surreptitiously(偷偷地),I held them in my hand as the crowd of homeless quietly left,each with a grateful smile,a fistful of food and an armload of clothing.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
Just as I was about to drop the socks back into the empty bag,a teenage boy came up to me.
Paragraph 2:
“These socks are perfect for me!” he smiled.
[参考范文]
Paragraph 1:
Just as I was about to drop the socks back into the empty bag,a teenage boy came up to me.“Can I please have those socks?” he asked,his blue eyes sparkling in the sun.I was surprised handing him the socks.“Thank you so much,Ma'am!” he grinned.“These socks remind me of my grandmother.She used to knit stuff like this for me!” The young man raced to the sidewalk cheerfully as if I had given him a brand new car or a million bucks.He sat down,slipped into the socks,stood up and stomped his feet.
Paragraph 2:
“These socks are perfect for me!” he smiled.I was deeply touched by his innocent smile.Those socks not only warmed his feet that day,but so was his heart—and mine.They had rekindled the memory of that young man's grandmother,a woman who must have loved him dearly.I had ever been so thoughtless as to think that those socks,as pitiful as they appeared on the surface,didn't have a purpose.To this day,it's proof that there is happiness in life's simplest things,and we'll never know how much until we've shared those things with others.
