Almost nine in 10 American teenage girls say they feel pressured by the fashion and media industries to be skinny and that an unrealistic, unattainable image of beauty has been created, a poll showed on Monday.
The online survey of 1,000 girls aged between 13 and 17 for the Girl Scouts of the USA found that three quarters said they would be more likely to buy clothes that they see on real-size models than on women who are skinny. But three out of four girls said that fashion is “really important” to them.
“The fashion industry remains a powerful influence on girls and the way they view themselves and their bodies,” said Kimberlee Salmond, a senior researcher at the Girl Scout Research Institute. “Teenage girls take cues (榜样) about how they should look from models they see in fashion magazines and on TV and it is something that they struggle to reconcile with (使相符) when they look at themselves in the mirror,” she said.
More than 80 percent of teen girls said they would rather see natural photos of models rather than pictures that had been digitally altered or enhanced. Other top influences on body perceptions, aside from celebrities and models, are peers, friends and parents, the poll showed.
One in three girls said they have starved themselves or refused to eat in an effort to lose weight, while almost half said they knew someone of their age who has forced herself to throw up after eating. More than a third said they know someone who has been diagnosed (诊断) with an eating disorder.
41. Most American teenage girls would like to choose clothes which _______.
A. thin girls wearB. girls of similar age wear

42. According to Kimberlee Salmond, American teenage girls _______.
A. are carried away by the fashion industry
B. don’t believe in the fashion industry
C. can resist the influence of the fashion industry

43. The last paragraph suggests that some American teenage girls _______.
A. have a special way to maintain their weight

Before the arrival of Europeans, Brazil was inhabited by many Native American tribes. In 1500 Pedro Alvares Cabral sailed to Porto Seguro. Brazil got its name from a kind of reddish tree, a native of this land, which was sold in Europe. Salvador da Bahia was founded in 1549 and became the capital city of the new Portuguese colony. Portuguese settlers started to produce sugar and the northeast of Brazil became a wealthy corner. During that time, Portugal brought in millions of black slaves to work in its sugar factories. However, the Dutch started to produce sugar in the Caribbean islands too and the Brazilian monopoly (垄断) declined. After that, the Portuguese crown centered its interest in the south portion of Brazil. The southern regions had been settled by missionaries (传教士) and Native American culture was still strong in many aspects. In the 18th century, many Portuguese started to explore the remote areas. Gold was discovered in Minas Gerais and Vila Rica (Ouro Preto's former name) became one of the richest cities. Rio de Janeiro became the port from which gold was transported to Portugal. In 1763 the Portuguese decided to move Brazil’s capital city from Salvador to Rio de Janeiro. In the 19th century, when Napoleon invaded Portugal, the royal family moved to Brazil and Rio became the capital city of the Portuguese Empire. When the king returned to Portugal, Brazilians didn’t want their land to be a colony anymore and declared their independence in 1822. The country became an Empire for 67 years, when the last Emperor abdicated after many years of old-fashioned, unprogressive government. At the same time, lots of European immigrants were crossing the ocean to find a job in the coffee market. In 1889 Brazil became a republic. In 1960 Brazilians moved the national government from Rio de Janeiro to Brasília, a modern planned city that was built to be the capital of Brazil. Nowadays Brazil is the most powerful country in South America and one of the most important nations in the world.
46. What made the city of Vila Rica become wealthy?
A. Coffee plantations.B. Goldmine.
C. Slave trade. D. Sugar industry.
47. The underlined word “abdicated” can be replaced by “______”.
A. succeeded B. was respected
C. gave up power D. settled
48. Which of the following cities was not made the capital of Brazil?
A. Vila Rica. B. Rio de Janeiro.
C. Salvador da Bahia. D. Brasília.
49. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.
A. Brazil used to have plenty of reddish trees
B. Vila Rica and Ouro Preto are different cities
C. Native Americans made a fortune out of black slaves’ labor
D. the northeast of Brazil retain the Dutch colonial atmosphere
50. The purpose of writing this passage is to ______.
A. encourage us to travel to Brazil
B. introduce how Brasilia was built
C. find out why Brazilians moved the capital
D. tell some information about Brazil’s history
D
The first-known hunters in North America can now be dated back at least 14,000 years.
“I am sure that especially the Native Americans are pleased with the results of the study. It is further proof that humans have been present in North America for longer than previously believed. The ‘Clovis First’ theory, which many scientists swore to just a few years back, has finally been buried with the conclusions of this study,” says Professor Eske Willerslev, director of the Centre for GeoGenetics at the Natural History Museum of Denmark, University of Copenhagen.
It is the finding of a tip from a man-made projectile (抛射物) gathered from the remains of a mastodon (乳齿象) that is behind the rewriting of North American prehistory. The projectile, which itself was carved out from a mastodon bone, was found at the Manis site in the state of Washington when archaeologists excavated (掘出) a mastodon in the late 1970s.
However, 30 years would pass before a team of researchers was able to put a date on the projectile and establish the identity of both the bone and the projectile. This was done through, amongst other things, DNA analysis, advanced computer technology, Carbon-14 dating as well as comparisons with other mastodon findings in North America, for instance in the state of Wisconsin.
The first traces of the hunt for mastodons in North America have previously been attributed to the so-called Clovis culture. Clovis culture dates back about 13,000 years and is viewed as a type of common culture ancestral for all Native American tribes in North America.
“Our research now shows that other hunters were present at least 1,000 years prior to the Clovis culture. Therefore, it was not a sudden war or a quick slaughtering (屠杀) of the mastodons by the Clovis culture that made the species disappear. We can now conclude that the hunt for the animals stretched out over a much longer period of time. At this time, however, we do not know if it was the man-made hunt for the mastodons, mammoths and other large animals that caused them to become extinct and disappear. Maybe the reason was something completely different, for instance the climate,” states Professor Eske Willerslev.
51. What has helped make the new discovery about North American hunters?
A. The remains of the mastodon. B. The fossil of the mastodon.
C. The “Clovis First” theory. D. The tool used by the hunters.
52. What can we learn about the study based on the projectile?
A. Its date wasn’t decided until thirty years later.
B. The discovery of a new projectile led to the result.
C. The researchers found the date on the projectile.
D. It supports Clovis culture with new proofs.
53. What is still uncertain about is ______.
A. where the first North America hunters came from
B. the date of the first hunters in North America
C. what has caused the mastodons to disappear
D. how the ancient northern Americans hunted
54. The passage tends to tell the readers that “Clovis First” theory ______.
A. has been widely received now B. has been greatly challenged
C. is the base of the discovery D. is regarded as North Americans’ pride
55. What’s the purpose of writing the passage?
A. To instruct.B. To advertise.C. To share.D. To amuse.

Good afternoon, everyone!

There was so much to remember and enjoy: my classmates and teachers, the beautiful campus and various after-school activities. I enjoyed all these experiences.
