A handsome middleaged man walked quietly into the café and sat down.Before he ordered，he couldn’t help but noticed a group of younger men at the table next to him.It was obvious they were making fun of something about him and it wasn’t until he remembered he was wearing a small pink ribbon (丝带) on the lapel of his suit that he became aware of what the joke was all about.
The man pretended not to notice it，but the whisper and laughter began to get to him.He looked one of the rude young men straight into the eye，placed his hand beneath the ribbon and asked，“This？”
With that the young men all began to laugh out loud.The man he spoke to said，“Hey，sorry，man，but we were just commenting on how pretty your little pink ribbon looks against your blue jacket！”
The middleaged man calmly invited the joker to come over to his table，and politely seated him.As uncomfortable as he was，the young guy had to，not really sure why.In a soft voice，the middleaged man said，“I wear this ribbon to bring awareness about breast cancer.I wear it in my mother’s honor.”
“Oh，sorry.She died of breast cancer？”
“No，she didn’t.She’s alive and well.But her breasts nourished me as a baby，and were a soft resting place for my head when I was scared or lonely as a little boy.I’m very grateful for my mother’s breasts and her health.”
“Umm，”the young replied，“yeah.”
“And I wear this ribbon to honor my wife，”the man continued.
“And she’s okay，too？”the young guy asked.
“Oh，yes.She’s fine.Her breasts have been a great source of loving pleasure for both of us，and with them she nurtured and nourished our daughter 23 years ago，I’m grateful for my wife’s breasts and her health.”
“Uh，huh.And I guess you wear it to honor your daughter，also？”
“No.It’s too late to honor my daughter by wearing it now...”
Shaken and ashamed，the young guy said，“Oh，I’m so sorry，mister.”
“So，in my daughter’s memory，too，I proudly wear this little ribbon，which allows me the opportunity to enlighten others.And here...”With this，he reached in his pocket and handed the young man a little pink ribbon.The young guy looked at it，slowly raised his head and asked，“...？”

(2010届黄冈中学期中测试)
Doomed beauties such as Cleopata and Manilyn Monroe were far from alone in their misery.Very attractive people tend to form partnerships that are less stable and satisfying than those enjoyed by plain_Janes.
According to the research by Dr.John Blaine of the University of Southern California，relationships between people whose professions largely depend on their appearance，such as models or actors，tend to end much faster than those between lawyers，doctors and students.
Blaine said the beautiful felt different from children.They are treated as special，which may create both arrogance (傲慢) and insecurity.All too often，beauty can be used as an alternative to education.Often they are pushed out of their class or town，told to go off and make their fortune in Hollywood or London and，when the majority fail，they have few talents to make a living.
Blaine added that beautiful people score poorly on the “big five”—the key factors American experts consider when helping distressed couples.These are neuroticism (神经过敏)，including anger and anxiety；extroversion (性格外向)；openness to new experiences；agreeableness；conscientiousness，and sticking by agreements they have made.Attractive people often see no reason to try to change until their looks start to fade.
Krista Sutherlanf，of the University of California Los Angeles，said partnerships that appeared to be perfect from the outside，such as the former “dream teams” of Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise or Hugh Grant and Elizabeth Hurley，where backgrounds and aspirations (抱负) are often shared，did not necessarily lead to happiness.
5．What can we infer from the first sentence of the passage?
A．Beautiful women always felt lonely.
B．Beautiful women were always alone.
C．Many beautiful women didn’t end up with a happy life.
D．Beautiful women always lived a happy life.
6．The underlined phrase “plain Janes” in the passage refers to “________”．
A．ordinarylooking women
B．women called Jane
C．common people
D．attractive women
7．We can infer from the passage that________.
A．Hugh Grant and Elizabeth Hurley were a couple
B．Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise were very satisfied with their life
C．when they fail in Hollywood，the beautiful have little trouble in making a living
D．the marriage of the beautiful often lasts long
8．Which of the following is the best title?
A．Five key factors affecting the partnership
B．Beauties are doomed to fail in love
C．Beautiful or common?
D．The beauties are different
Ⅰ.单项填空
1．B 本句的主语为the list，谓语动词应为单数形式，且publish与句子主语之间为被动关系，故选B项。
2．D compared with/to...是习惯表达，意思是“与……相比”。句意为：我们为灾区人民筹集了不少钱，但同灾后重建所需要的数额相比，这只是杯水车薪。
3．A be supposed to do sth.意思是“应该……，理应……”。句意为：这姑娘有唱歌天赋。如果她坚持练习，应该能成为一名有名气的歌星。
4．B 该句考查的是“with＋复合宾语”结构，其中with sth.to do表示“有事要做”；且用主动表被动with sth.done表示“做好了某事”。
5．C 句意为：对于这位女士，我只知道她来自北京，其他知之甚少。except that引导句子，she is from Beijing是一个句子，故选C。
6．C 考查名词辨析。句意为：这位官员强调必须教育学校的孩子如何处理危险情况。situation情况，符合句意。而state状态，condition条件，position位置，均与句意不符。
7．C 考查动词词组辨析。句意为：请告诉我事故是如何发生的，我一直被蒙在鼓里。come about发生，符合句意。而come by获得，come upon偶遇，come to达到，均不符合句意。
8．B 句意为：他昨晚熬夜了，今早起晚了。这就是“为什么(why)”他上学会迟到。
9．B 由答语Yes可知，除了英语，我还会一点法语、日语，即三种语言都会，所以用besides，它的宾语被包括在句子所表述的事情范围之内。
10．A 该句意为：“——我们处境困难，我不知道摆脱困境的方法。——不要担心，我们将尽力帮助你摆脱困境”。
11．B 此题考查have no difficulty in doing sth.用法，句意为：“做某事没有困难。”
12．C while此处表对比转折，意为“然而”。
13．C the first time在此是连词，连接时间状语从句，表示“当……的时候”。

Ⅱ.阅读理解
【语篇解读】 一位中年男子因佩戴粉红色丝带而受到一群年轻人的嘲笑，这位男子心平气和地与其中一位年轻人讲述了丝带背后的感人故事。
1．B 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句可知那群年轻人在拿中年男子佩戴的粉红“丝带”开玩笑。
2．A 推理判断题。在第四段末，中年男子提到自己佩戴粉红丝带是为了使人们关注乳腺癌，再结合他所说的“It’s too late to honor my daughter by wearing it now...”可推断他的女儿可能已因乳腺癌去世了。
3．B 推理判断题。那个年轻人听了中年男子的话后无比震惊，惭愧不已，同时又非常感动。由开始的嘲笑粉红丝带到主动要求中年男子为自己佩戴粉红丝带，这样的结尾很耐人寻味。
4．D 标题判断题。全文都是围绕那条粉红丝带展开叙述的，所以D项最具有概括性和针对性，而且很有新意。
【语篇解读】 本文为议论文，作者论证了这样一个观点：美女并不幸福。
5．C 考查推理判断。第一段说漂亮的人，其partnership往往不如普通人的稳定和让人满意，由此判断，文章开头说“克莱奥帕特拉和玛丽莲·梦露等美女的悲惨命运绝非个例”意在表明“很多美女的生活都不幸福”。
6．A 考查词义猜测。从语境看，画线部分的plain Janes指与前面提到的美女相对的、相貌平常的女性，因此选A。
7．A 考查推理判断。最后一段说，外界看上去很完美的关系，比如……未必最终有幸福的结局。再结合上文论述可判断Hugh Grant和Elizabeth Hurley是夫妻关系，故选A，其他选项都与文章内容不符。
8．B 考查主题大意。文章主要论述了美女命运多舛的观点，并分析了其中的原因，故B项最适合作本文标题。
