5．"Beauty is only skin deep．"This expression means that beauty is only a temporary surface quality．And some beauty products can cause lasting damage that goes far below the surface of the skin．
In the United States，many people use sunlight and non-natural light to darken their skin．Health experts advise against what is called"tanning"because of its links to skin cancer．In the African country of Senegal（塞内加尔），some women take health risks trying to do just the opposite．
An average beauty supply shop in Dakar has many kinds of skin-lightening creams and soaps．The World Health Organization says that 25percent of Senegalese women use skin-lightening products on a usual basis．These products can contain chemicals such as mercury（汞），hydroquinone（对苯二酚），etc．These are dangerous ingredients that can cause cancer and possibly other physical damage to the skin．They can actually burn the eyes and skin．
Shop worker Adama Diagne advises her visitors to avoid the stronger products that promise fast results．She uses a cream that is made from carrots and not the strong chemical，hydroquinone．She says that it is a personal choice and that no one pressures her．Some women want to be black every day，but for her，she likes to be a shade of brown．
Women in Senegal say they lighten their skin for the same reason that women all over the world make changes to their appearance．They say they want to look beautiful，to find a husband，or to stand out in a crowd or simply to look great for a special event．
This thinking troubles Senegalese filmmaker Khardiata Pouye Sall．So，she made"This Color That Bothers Me，"a film about the subject of skin lightening．She said，"I used the most shocking images so that women would see the dangers．It is hard to understand why a woman says that dark skin is not beautiful．It is in their heads．They want to please a man，to be loved．Or they want to please society，to succeed．"
Ms．Sall says that the government needs to better control the marketing and sale of skin lightening products．But she adds that education is the best way to persuade people against using them．

32．The underlined parts"the opposite"in Paragraph 2means some Senegalese womenC．
A．use sunlight to darken their skin               
B．try creams to prevent skin cancer．
C．use products to lighten their skin              
D．take health risks to become beautiful
33．According to Adama Diagne，women shouldn't believeD．
A．beauty is just a personal choice               
B．a cream from carrots is healthier
C．it is beautiful to be black every day             
D．a product can make you beautiful quickly
34．We can infer that women in SenegalB．
A．attract attention with shocking images           
B．don't consider dark skin to be beautiful
C．find it hard to understand the true beauty         
D．put beauty in their first place in their heads．
35．What is Sall's attitude towards skin-lightening products？A
A．Unsupportive         
B．Casual        
C．Reasonable       
D．Positive．

分析 本文属于说明文阅读，作者通过这篇文章向我们介绍了在美国许多人利用阳光和非自然光线使皮肤变黑，而在非洲塞加内尔的妇女不认为黑皮肤是美丽的，因此她们过度的使用美白产品使自己变白，然而这些美白产品会含有某些致癌的化学成分，Sall女士建议妇女们考虑自己的健康，不要使用这些产品．

解答 32．C  推理判断题，根据第二段In the United States，many people use sunlight and non-natural light to darken their skin．Health experts advise against what is called"tanning"because of its links to skin cancer．In the African country of Senegal（塞内加尔），some women take health risks trying to do just the opposite．可知在美国，许多人利用阳光和非自然光线使皮肤变暗，而在非洲国家塞内加尔，一些妇女冒着生命危险做着与之相反的事，由此推知这些妇女会使用一些产品来使她们的肤色变白，故选C．
33．D  细节理解题，根据第四段Shop worker Adama Diagne advises her visitors to avoid the stronger products that promise fast results．可知店员Adama Diagne建议人们不要使用那些能让你很快就变美，作用较强的产品，故选D．
34．B  推理判断题，根据第五段Women in Senegal say they lighten their skin for the same reason that women all over the world make changes to their appearance．They say they want to look beautiful，to find a husband，or to stand out in a crowd or simply to look great for a special event．可知塞内加尔的妇女想让自己变白，希望自己看起来美丽，由此推知她们不认为黑色的皮肤是美丽的，故选B．
35．A  细节理解题，根据最后一段Ms．Sall says that the government needs to better control the marketing and sale of skin lightening products．But she adds that education is the best way to persuade people against using them．可知Sall女士认为政府需要更好地控制皮肤美白产品的推广和销售，应该说服人们不要使用这些产品，因此她是不赞成人们使用美白产品的，故选A．

点评 考查学生的细节理解和推理判断能力．做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句，和题干进行比较，再做出正确选择．在做推理判断题时不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实，要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断．

One afternoon I was driving along the narrow dirt road. Ahead of me was a small red car with two people in the front seats. You can’t go very fast on a dirt road so I was driving carefully after it.

As we did, I began to watch the car in front of me. The driver was a middle-aged man with thinning hair, and beside him sat a woman with long, wavy blond hair. I could see the man’s face because he kept turning and talking and talking to the woman, but I couldn’t see her face because she never turned to look at him and answer.

As we drove along, the man turned again and again, talking to the woman. He leaned(靠) toward her and he smiled. But she sat without movement or response, staring straight ahead. She never once looked in his direction, and I wondered why.

I supposed of course that they were fighting. The long blond hair suggested someone beautiful. I thought she might be too coldhearted, the way a beautiful woman can usually be. I thought that the man might be her husband, or her lover, and that he was pleading with her. I thought she was turning cold to him: perhaps she was ending things completely, and he was trying to win her back.

We both slowed down to cross a little stone bridge, and once past it, on the straight, he turned again to her. I wondered then if I’d gotten it wrong. The man was definitely middle-aged, and the woman’s long, thick blond hair suggested youth. Perhaps the man was not her husband but her father. Maybe she was sitting silently still, not heartlessly. Or maybe she was weeping and unable to look at her father.

I watched them closely, trying to be sure. The man turned to her, smiling. She still did not look at him. We reached the stop sign at the end of Mount Holly Road, and the man turned once more to the blond woman. This time, at last, she turned toward him. She leaned over and licked his nose with her tongue. She was a golden retriever, a large dog used in hunting.

1.The real relationship of the two sitting in the front seats of the small red car is _______.

A. a husband and an angry wife

B. a loving father and a weeping daughter

C. a master and a big dog

D. lovers in quarrel

2.We can infer from the text that______.

20．Cigarette smoking kills．That we know．So，manufactures made electronic cigarettes as a safer smoking choice---safer than tobacco．
E-cigarettes contain the drug nicotine like cigarettes．But they do not use tobacco．And you do not light （33）them．They are powered by battery．
So，if e-cigarettes are so safe，why have poison control centers around the United States seen an increase（34）in telephone calls about e-cigarette poisonings？The answer is children．
Most of the calls are from people worried about children who have played with the devices．In the period of one month this year，the United States Centers for Disease Control say 215people called the Center with e-cigarette concerns．More than half of these calls were for children（35）aged（age） five and younger．The devices apparently had made them sick．
Tim McAfee is director of the CDC's Office on Smoking and Health．He says the problem is regulation，meaning the U．S．Federal government does not control e-cigarettes（36）even if/even though they contain liquid nicotine．
Mr．McAfee adds that liquid nicotine is a well-known danger．
"Nicotine historically has been used as a pesticide in the United States．And that's where we have really had for many，many decades significant poisonings when people got exposed to nicotine that was in liquid solutions．"
Mr．McAfee explains that nicotine poisoning happens（37）when the substance gets into the skin，gets into the eyes or is swallowed．Even a small amount，he says，（38）canmake a person sick．Nicotine poisoning can cause stomach pain or a sense of imbalance．Headaches and seizures （突发疾病）are also common sighs of nicotine poisoning．And too much nicotine can kill．
Tim McAfee says e-cigarettes do not create the level of risk to people as tobacco products do．He notes that almost 500，000Americans die each year from cigarettes．
"So，cigarettes are the winner in that contest．And we don't really know what's going to happen with e-cigarettes．"
E-cigarettes do not contain hundreds of harmful chemicals（39）that/which are found in real cigarettes．So，the U．S．Surgeon General has suggested that e-cigarettes may be a useful tool for adults（40）trying（try） to end their tobacco use，or quit．
But McAfee worries that teenagers may think electronic cigarettes are harmless．They could become addicted，or hooked，on the nicotine and then start smoking real cigarettes．In other words，he fears that for young people fake （假装）e-cigarettes could be a"gateway"to the real thing．
7．Everyone was inspired to hear the account by an elderly gentleman ________ he passed the

A．By air．            B．By car．             C．By train．

---No，no sooner ________ than it happened．（　　）
A．had she goneB．she had goneC．has she goneD．she has gone
14．The electric revolution
The main reasons why electric cars are not more popular at present are their price and their relatively small range．
Existing battery systems only allow electric cars （33）to travel （travel） a distance of between 100and 160km．However，this distance may not be a problem for urban drivers．A recent Sydney study reported that 70 percent of journeys were 30 km or less，and recent data from the US suggests that 77 percent of trips （34）taken （take） there are 48 km or less．
An innovative company called Better Place is aiming to make electric cars an option for all drivers．It wants to see existing vehicles replaced by electric vehicles which，it says，offer a number of benefits．Firstly，they can be powered by renewable energy which produces zero emissions．（35）What is more important is that electric motors are more efficient and can convert more than 90 percent of power into movement．（36）To achieve （achieve） its aim，Better Place plans to use technology already available．
The plan is simple but revolutionary．It starts with the installation of a home charge point，and through this，the vehicle will be plugged into the electricity charge point whenever it is in the garage，typically at night．In the morning，with a fully charged battery，the car is capable of as much as 160 km in urban motoring conditions．（37）With the home charge point，the battery can be topped up by charge points at work and at supermarkets．
（38）The battery is linked to a control centre by smart technology inside the vehicle．Better Place can then ensure that the car is charged with electricity from renewable sources at the cheapest price．For （39）longer （long） trips，a navigation system directs the driver to the nearest switch station，（40）where the battery can be replaced with a charged one by a robot within a couple of minutes．
18．-How is your new diet？Have you lost any weight yet？
