ARecently I spoke to some of my students about what they wanted to do after they graduated, and what kind of job prospects they thought they had.Given that I teach students who are training to be doctors, I was surprised to find that most thought that they would not be able to get the jobs they wanted without “outside help”. “What kind of help is that?” I asked, expecting them to tell me that they would need a relative or family friend to help them out.“Surgery (外科手术)”, one replied. I was pretty alarmed by that response. It seems that the graduates of today are increasingly willing to go under the knife to get ahead of others when it comes to getting a job. One girl told me that she was considering surgery to increase her height. “They break your legs, put in special extending screws, and slowly expand the gap between the two ends of the bone as it regrows, you can get at least 5cm taller!”At that point, I was shocked. I am short, I can‟t deny that, but I don‟t t hink I would put myself through months of agony (痛苦) just to be a few centimeters taller. I don‟t even bother to wear shoes with thick soles, as I‟m not trying to hide the fact that I am just not tall!It seems to me that there is a trend toward wanting “perfection”, and that is an ideal that just does not exist in reality.No one is born perfect, yet magazines, TV shows and movies present images of thin, tall, beautiful people as being the norm. Advertisements for slimming aids, beauty treatments and cosmetic surgery clinics fill the pages of newspapers, further creating an idea that “perfection” is a requirement, and that it must be purchased, no matter what the cost. In my opinion, skills, rather than appearance, should determine how successful a person is in his chosen career.21. We can know from the passage that the author works as .A. a modelB. a teacherC. a doctorD. a reporter22. Many graduates today turn to cosmetic surgery to .A. marry a better man/womanB. attract more admirersC. get an advantage over others in job-huntD. become a model23. According to the passage, the author believes that .A. everyone should purchase perfection, whatever the costB. it‟s right for graduates to ask for others to help them out in hunting for jobsC. media are to blame for misleading young people in their seeking for surgeryD. it is one‟s appearance instead of skills that really matters in one‟s career24. What does the author think of his height?A. He just accepts it as it isB. He tries to increase his height through surgery.C. He always wears shoes with thick soles to hide the fact.D. He hates to be called a short man.BDUKE-NUS Graduate Medical SchoolBe Part Our 2011 IntakeDUKE-NUS Graduate Medical School is a joint collaboration between 2 top universities----Duke University School of Medical and the National University of Singapore （NUS）.Our school follows the American style of medical education and students graduate with a Doctor of Medicine (MD) degree after 4 years..A. complete your high school studiesB. visit the college admission advisersC. attend the exams held by the collegeD. go through the online application procedure26.

US applicants onlyD. international teachersCTo get an extra 14 years of li fe, don‟t smoke, eat lots of fruits and vegetables, exercise regularly and drink alcohol in a proper amount. That is according to a study published this Monday in the Public Library of Science Medicine Journal.After tracking more than 20,000 people aged 45 to 79 years in the United Kingdom from about 1993 to 2007, Kay-Tee Khaw of the University of Cambridge and his colleagues found that people who adopted these four healthy habits lived an average of 14 years longer than those who didn‟t.“We‟ve known for a long time that these behaviors are good things to do, but we‟ve not seen this benefit before,” said Susan Jebb, head of Nutrition and Health at Britain‟s Medical Research Council. “The benefit was also seen regardless of whether or not people were fat an d what social class they came from.”Study participants（参与者）scored a point each for not smoking, regular physical activity, eating five servings of fruits and vegetables a day and moderate alcohol intake.Public health experts said they hoped the study would inspire governments to introduce policies helping people to adopt these changes．But because the study only observed people rather than testing specific changes, it would be impossible to conclude that people who suddenly adopted these healthy behaviors would surely gain 14 years.“We can‟t say that any person could gain 14 years by doing these things,” said Dr. Tim Armstrong, a physical activity expert at the World Health Organization. “The 14 years is an average across the population of what‟s theoretic ally（理论上地）possible.”“Most people know that things like a good diet matter and that smoking isn‟t good for them,” Susan Jebb said. “We need to work on providing people with much more practical support to help them change.”29. We can learn from the passage that .A. Susan Jebb did not take part in the study.B. the study observed people as well as tested specific changes.C. there‟s no need for people under 45 to adopt these good habits.D. only those from first class can benefit from these healthy behaviors.30. What can be inferred from the passage?A. All the people are well aware of the harm of their bad habits.B. People aged 45 to 70 have bad habits in the United Kingdom.C. Governments should take measures to help people change their bad habits.D. People have adopted the four healthy habits after knowing they‟re good.31. What would be the best title for this passage?A. Smoking and Drinking Cuts You 14 YearsB. Healthy Habits May Give Extra 14 YearsC. How to Make Your Life Longer Than OthersD. How to Live a Much Healthier LifeDRock-paper-scissors is a game played all around the world. As kids, we have relied on it to settle disagreements with friends—from which channel to watch to who gets to eat the last ice-cream—all because we think the results are completely random.But are they?Wang Zhijian, PhD, a professor at Zhejiang University, believes that there is a regulation behind this simple game. So he gathered 360 students, divided them into groups of six and had each group play 300 rounds of rock-paper-scissors, reported USA Today.After the first results, Wang thought he was wrong, because players chose each of the three moves about one-third of the time, suggesting that the game is random after all. However, Wang later noticed a surprising regulation of behavior in the data.When players won a round, they usually stuck to the same choice. But when they lost, they tended to change to a more powerful move. For example, if Player A had just thrown down scissors to beat Player B‟s paper, Player A was more likely to throw down scissors again while Player B was likely to choose rock, since rock beats scissors.According to Wang, this might be a function that is called “conditional response”. So, for the next step of his study, as he told BBC, Wang plans to do some research about how human brains make quick decisions when competing.Now that you‟ve learned how to predict the moves of your opponent, you‟ll have an advantage next time you play rock-paper-scissors with your friends. But there is one problem: make sure they haven‟t read about Wang‟s study, or your advantage will disappear.32. What does the underlined word “random” in the first paragraph probably mean?A. StrangeB. UnpredictableC. AmusingD. Equal33. What‟s Wang‟s discovery of the surprising regulation of behavior?A. 300 rounds of rock-paper-scissors can be done at onceB. The game rock-paper-scissors is random after all.C. The game is based on “conditional response”.D. The response of players doesn‟t seem random.34. If Player A has used rock to beat Player B‟s scissors, what will they probably do next?A. Player B is more likely to choose paper.B. Player A is more likely to choose scissors.C. Player B is more likely to choose rock.D. Player A is more likely to choose paper.35. What will Wang study in the future?A. How to improve players‟ ability to predict opponents‟ moves.B. The functions of the game that are planted into our brains.C. How human brains make quick decisions in a competition.D. The psychological cause of the players who always win.第二节( 共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
