考题 One of the most successful, influential, and beloved women in American history, Eleanor Roosevelt once said that she had one regret: She wished she had been prettier. Who hasn’t felt the same way? We are all too awake to our physical imperfections. To overcome them, we spend billions upon billions of dollars every year on cosmetics, diet products, fashion, and plastic surgery.Why do we care so much about how we look? Because it matters. Because beauty is powerful. Because even when we learn to value people mostly for being kind and wise and funny, we are still moved by beauty. No matter how much we argue against it or pretend to be immune, beauty exerts its power over us. There is simply no escape.Aristotle said, “Beauty is a greater recommendation than any letter of introduction.” It’s not fair, but it’s true. We simply treat beautiful people better than we do others. Attach a photograph of a beautiful author to an essay, and people will think that it is more creative and more intelligently written than exactly the same essay accompanied by the photo of a homely author.As children, beautiful people are more likely to become favorites with parents and teachers. Later, they’re more likely to get good jobs and promotion. Beautiful lawyers get paid more than their less attractive colleagues. Good-looking criminals are more likely to win the sympathy of judges and juries. Attractive people in need are more likely to receive help from strangers.(1)Eleanor Roosevelt’s regret shows ().A、she was one of the most successful, influential, and beloved women in American historyB、she was not prettyC、she has many regretsD、even she was pretty, she wanted to be prettier(2)“It matters” in paragraph 2 line 1 means ().A、It is a matterB、It doesn’t matterC、It is importantD、It is not important(3)According to paragraph 2 and paragraph 3, which of the following is not true?A、We learn to value people mostly for being kind and wise and funny.B、We can be immune to beauty.C、Aristotle meant beauty is the best recommendation.D、People think a beautiful author’s essay is more creative and more intelligently written.(4)Paragraph 4 is written to show ().A、beauty is powerfulB、beautiful children are favorites with parents and teachersC、beautiful lawyers get higher pay than their homely colleaguesD、attractive people receive more help from strangers(5)The word “good -looking” in paragraph 4 line 3 may mean ().A、beautiful or handsomeB、lovelyC、carefulD、kind-hearted

考题 you've probably read the books.You've probably seen the movies.But have you heard the music?The latest Harry Potter news is that bands have been forming to play what is called "wizard rock" or sometimes just "wrock."The new kind of music began when Joe DeGeorge and his brother Paul decided that the characters from Harry Potter would make a great band.Ron on guitar，Hermione on bass，Hagrid on drums and Harry singing up front would make for an excellent group.In one day，the brothers wrote，practised and performed six songs about life at Hogwarts.After the first performance，Paul decided that "we're Harry and the Potters."Wizard rock is pretty much what it sounds like：rock 'n' roll inspired by and set in the world of Harry Potter.The DeGeorges started a trend.Today，there are dozens of wizard-rock bands：the Whomping Willows，the Remus Lupins and the Moaning Myrtles to name a few.Rockers dress like Hogwarts students and play at conventions and festivals.People who like Harry Potter think wizard rock music is totally awesome.The songs can be funny，but the music is not a joke.It's serious.Just ask the DeGeorge brothers.They've played more than 500 shows in 49 states.They dress in Hogwarts house colors，and their hit songs are inspired by characters from the books："Save Ginny Weasley" and "Voldemort Can't Stop the Rock!" The themes of their music are the same as the themes of Rowling's books：love and friendship，upset and struggle.Wizard rock is just one more spin-off in the Harry Potter craze.Two years after J.K.Rowling published her last book in the series，Potter popularity continues to grow.There are Potter conventions and Potter clubs that try to get kids and grown-ups to help fight hunger，for example.And the fact that they may do it while humming "Wizard Chess" or "Platform. 9" makes those meetings fun.1、Which of the following is a band’s name?A、HermioneB、The Whomping WillowsC、Harry PotterD、Save Ginny Weasley2、Which of the following is wizard rock’s characteristic?A、A funny and jokingB、joking and seriousC、funny and seriousD、serious and dull3、Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?A、The DeGeorge has been popular in the USA.B、People think highly of wizard rock.C、The wizard rock's themes are related to struggle.D、Wizard rock is only popular among teenagers.4、From the last paragraph，we can learn that().A、Harry Potter has had great effect on American's musicB、Wizard rock has created another hit about Harry PotterC、Harry Potter continues to be liked by its fansD、J.K.Rowling will continue to write something about Harry Potter
