Passage 1
Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:
Beauty has always been regarded as something praise-worthy (值得表扬的). Almost everyone thinks that attractive people are happier and healthier, have better marriages and have better jobs. They are given better advice for finding jobs. Even judges are softer on attractive law-breakers. But in the executive (行政) circle, beauty is not always something good.
While attractiveness is helpful for a man on his way up the executive ladder, it is harmful to a woman.
Handsome male executives were believed to be more honest than plainer men; effort and ability were thought to explain their success. Attractive female executives were considered to have less honest than unattractive ones; their success was the result of their good luck rather than their ability.
Why are attractive women not thought to be able? An attractive woman is thought to be more typically female and an attractive man more male than the less attractive ones. Thus, an attractive woman has an advantage in traditional jobs for women, but an attractive woman in a traditionally male-position appears to lack the male-qualities required.
This is true even in politics. “When the only clue (线索) is how he or she looks, people treat men and women differently,” says Anne Bowman, who recently published a study on the effects of attractiveness on those who will enter politics. She asked 125 college students to rank two groups of photographs, one of men and one of women, in order of attractiveness. The students were told the photographs were of suitable persons for political offices. They were asked to rank them again, in the order they would vote (投票) for them.
The results showed that attractive males completely defeated unattractive men, but the woman who had been ranked most attractive always received the fewest votes.
11. The word “circle” (Para. 1) means _____.
A. a round area B. a ring C. a group of people D. a party
12. In traditional female jobs, attractiveness _____.
A. often enables women to succeed quickly
B. makes women look more honest and capable
C. is very important to women
D. strengthens the feminine (女性的) qualities required
13. Bowman's experiment shows that when it comes to politics, attractiveness _____.
A. turns out to be an disadvantage to men
B. affects men and women
C. has as little effect on men as on women
D. is more of a disadvantage than a benefit to women
14. We can tell from the passage that people's views on beauty are often _____.
A. practical B. unfair C. old-fashioned D. wrong
15. The writer writes this passage to _____.
A. give advice to job seekers who are attractive
B. discuss the disadvantages of being attractive
C. demand equal rights for women
D. give special attention to the importance of appearance
Passage 2
Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:
In most American cities, the rent for a one-bedroom apartment was $250 or more per month in recent years. In some smaller cities the rent was less, but in larger cities it was more. The most expensive rents in the U.S. were in New York City, where you had to pay at least $700 a month to rent a one-bedroom apartment in most parts of the city.
Renters and city planners are worried about the high cost of renting apartments. Many cities now have rent-control laws to keep the cost of renting low. These laws help low-income families who cannot pay high rents.
Many cities have rent-control laws, but why are rents so high? Builders and landlords (房东) blame rent controls for the high rents. Rents are high because there are not enough apartments to rent, and they blame rent controls for lack of apartments. Builders want more money to build more apartment buildings, and landlords want more money to repair their old apartment buildings. But they cannot increase rents to get this money because of the rent-control laws. As a result, landlords are not repairing their old apartments, and builders are not building new apartment buildings to replace the old apartment. Builders are building apartments for high-income families, not low-income families, so low-income families must live in old apartments. Builders and landlords say that rent-control laws really hurt low-income families.
Many renters disagree with them. They say that rent control is not the problem. Even without rent controls, builders and landlords will continue to ignore low-income housing because they can make more money from high-income housing. The only answer, they think, is more rent control and government help for low-income housing.
16. According to the first paragraph, which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. In most American cities the rent for a one-bedroom apartment is at most $700.
B. In most of the American cities the rent for a one-bedroom apartment was at least $250.
C. New York has the highest rent for a one-bedroom apartment.
D. In a small city, the rent for a one-bedroom apartment was less than $250.
17.The purpose of the law mentioned in Paragraph 2 is _____.
A. to help city builders with a low income solve the housing problem
B. to help people who are not highly paid get a higher income
C. to prevent people with a low income from the difficulty of renting apartments
D. to prevent city planners from living in the open air
18. What is the main idea in Paragraph 3?
A. Builders and landlords have some responsibility for the high rents.
B. Builders and landlords blame rent-control laws for the high rents.
C. The rent-control laws are harmful to low-income families.
D. The rents are high for lack of enough apartment buildings.
19. Which of the following is NOT the reason of high rents for apartment buildings according to builders and landlords?
A. Renters cannot find enough apartments to rent.
B. Rent-control laws should be responsible for the high rents.
C. Builders and landlords are unable to increase rents to get more money for more buildings.
D. Builders and landlords are interested in low-income buildings.
20. What is the writer’s attitude (态度) toward the rent-control law in the last paragraph?
A. The law is not responsible for the high rents.
B. The law is helpful to low-income people.
C. The law is not concerned with low-income people.
D. The law is only of benefit to the government.
