题文
阅读理解。 More Chinese are seeking out the surgeon's knife to improve their looks. Yet the tragic death of theformer Super Girl Wang Bei has made people aware of the risks of cosmetic surgery, which is becoming
increasingly popular. Wang Bei,24,is said to have gone under the knife in Wuhan, to jump-start her
stage-show career. It seems that the ambitious singer has finally achieved the fame and influence after her
death.
For years Miss Lu expected a plastic surgery to make her jaw fashionable narrow and her face smaller. She finally decided against it after hearing of the death of Wang Bei. "Wang Bei's death rang the warning
bell for me,"Miss Lu said in her blog." It was frightening and I gave up the plan. "
A common thread of online discussion is why someone considered beautiful was so dissatisfied with
her looks. Some netizens said Wang was a victim of society's impractical standard of beauty:double
eyelids,and the pointed chin typical of Western actresses. Others said her death indicated the limits to
which people would go to achieve fame and fortune.
Last year 15 billion yuan was spent on cosmetic surgery and the figure is expected to rise 20%
annually. The International Society of Plastic Surgery ranks China first in Asia in terms of the number of
cosmetic surgeries in 2009. Worldwide, China is third, after Brazil, while the United States is first.
Nowadays,people are living longer and better. But the effect of aging off their appearance affects their
mood and confidence. Many older women want to look young and beautiful. Young people, on the other
hand, see cosmetic surgery as the key to wealth and love. "They want to improve their appearance to find better opportunities at work and in marriage," says a famous plastic surgeon. "We're living in a highly
competitive society. People regard appearance as a weapon in life battle. Those who are young and
naturally good-looking tell me,'I don't care how much I spend. Just make me look more beautiful.' "

【备考提醒】
为了保证较高准确率,建议同学们做好以下几点:
1、保持正常的考试心态。笔者在教学中发现,越是容易的试题,同学们越是容易失分。为什么呢?因为在这种情况下,同学们极易产生麻痹思想,认为题目好做,就不引起高度重视,于是思维不发散、不周密。而命题人就是利用同学们的这一弱点,设计陷阱题。所以,无论试题难易与否,我们都要保持正常的考试心态。试题容易,不欣喜;试题难,不悲观。
2、根据前面讲到的方法,认认真真、细细心心做好事实细节题。
3、做好语义转换题。这类题是根据英语中一词多义和某些词语在文中能表达一定的修辞意义的原则而设计的。要求同学们解释某生词的含义,确定多义词或短语在文中的意思,确认文中的某个代词所指代的对象,或者对英语中特有的表达、格言、谚语进行解释。这种题要求同学们一定要根据上下文猜测词义或理解句子,切不可望文生义。
4、做好简单推理判断题。简单推理判断题要以表面文字为前提,以具体事实为依据进行推理,做出判断。这种推理方式比较直接,只要弄清事实,即可结合常识推断出合理的结论。
