21、Twelve prized camels have been disqualified from a beauty contest in Saudi Arabia after their owners tried to beautify their looks with Botox(肉毒杆菌素).
Thousands of camels are paraded at the King Abdulaziz Camel Festival to be judged on their shapely lips and humps. The festival, which also features camel racing and camel milk tasting, has combined prize money of $57 million.
This year’s event has been stuck in scandal after the 20 million Saudi riyals (里亚尔，货币单位) in prize money for each category tempted some owners to cheat.
The key features in camel beauty are considered to be delicate ears and a big nose. Judges are also looking for perfectly placed humps, muscular physiques and leathery mouths. But there are strict rules against the use of drugs in the lips, or shaved or clipped body parts.
Ali Al Mazrouei, the son of a top Emirati breeder, said Botox was used for the lips, the nose and even the jaw. “It makes the head more inflated, so when the camel comes, it’s like ‘Oh look at how big that head is. It has big lips, a big nose’,” he said.
In the lead up to the festival, Saudi media reported that a vet had been caught giving camels plastic surgery including Botox injections and reducing the size of their ears.
Chief judge Fawzan Al-Madi said the camel was “a symbol of Saudi Arabia”. “We used to preserve it out of necessity; now we preserve it as a pastime,” he said. The camel beauty contest was first held in 2000 and last year was relocated from a remote desert area to a permanent venue north of the capital, Riyadh.
【1】Why did some people cheat in the camel beauty contest?
A．They wanted to get the big prize.
B．They intended to show off their camels.
C．They were proud of their camels’ humps.
D．They expected their camels to win in racing.
【2】What is focused in the fourth paragraph?
A．The goal of the contest.
B．The rules for the judges.
C．The standards of judgement.
D．The kinds of different camels.
【3】Which of the following isn’t considered a feature of camel beauty?
A．Big lips.
B．Big ears.
C．Big heads.
D．Big noses.
【4】What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A．Arabians find it tiring to raise camels.
B．People in Saudi Arabia depend on camels to live.
C．Saudi government takes the camel festival seriously.
D．Camels were raised for fun in the past in Saudi Arabia.
22、In countries around the world, women do more unpaid labor-housework, child and elder care, and the mental load of managing a family than men. New research suggests it takes a health toll(代价)on many of them.
An analysis of 19 studies covering 70,310 people globally, which is published this month in The Lancet(柳叶刀)Public Health, found that the more of this labor women do, the worse their mental health. The findings point out women are more often diagnosed with anxiety and depression than men.
Housework and child care, the research found, have much less of an impact on men’s mental health. That’s probably because they do so much less of it. In the United States, women do an average 4.5 hours of such work a day, compared with 2.8 hours for men, according to data from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. In Greece, women do 4.3 hours while men do an hour and a half. Even in the most gender-equal countries, like Sweden, women do 50 minutes more a day than men.
It’s also because the type of such work men do is generally less time-sensitive. For example, men are more often responsible for outdoor tasks, like mowing the lawn, that are done less often and on their own schedule. Women are more likely to take on daily tasks that need to be done at certain times, like preparing meals or cleaning up.
Social expectations probably also play a role. Studies have shown that women feel pressure to keep their homes clean, for instance, and feel judged if they don’t. Men, on the other hand, are often praised for doing daily tasks like taking a child to an appointment.
The Lancet researchers said that drawing clear conclusions from the 19 studies was difficult and that more research would be welcome.
【1】How does the author show the research findings in paragraph 2 and 3?
A．By giving examples.
B．By listing figures.
C．By making analysis.
D．By telling stories.
【2】What does the underlined word “time-sensitive“ mean in paragraph 4?
A．Flexible.
B．Valuable.
C．Demanding in timing.
D．Challenging in skills.
【3】What can we learn from paragraph 5?
A．Women are generally expected to do more household labor.
B．Women will be punished by judges if they don’t keep their homes clean.
C．Men feel stressed more often when they can’t take their children to the dentist.
D．Men are supposed to take a child to an appointment instead of doing other housework.
【4】What is the text mainly about?
A．Facts that men and women are unequal.
B．Bad effects that housework has on women.
C．Responsibilities that women share in families.
D．Reasons why unpaid labor hurts women more mentally.
23、Welcome To International Summer School
An enjoyable English language learning experience——together with organized sports, activities and excursion (外出游学) program.
International Summer School runs 3 different summer school centers for boys and girls aged from 8-21 years in the South of England. Our schools are chosen for their location, accommodation and excellent sporting and art facilities.

Our courses are personal and of high quality. Students can surely have an exciting and enjoyable experience while improving their English at the same time.
Bethany Centre is situated in the heart of Kent in the beautiful countryside, very close to the village of Goudhurst, with its old fashioned shops and cafes, and Marden with its direct train route to central London. The historic large town of Tunbridge Wells is only 15 minutes away. Gatwick and Heathrow airports are easily accessible, as are Eurostar International Stations at Ashford and Ebbsfleet.
Moira House is based in Eastbourne on the south coast of England in the much favored Meads area of the town, within walking distance of the seafront and town centre. Gatwick Airport is about half an hour’s drive away and Heathrow around 40 minutes.
Eastbourne Centre is situated directly on the seafront and only a few minutes walk away from the main town centre, with its theatres, museums, art galleries, nightclubs, cafes, restaurants and good selection of indoor and outdoor shopping. Gatwick Airport is about half an hour’s drive away and Heathrow around 20 minutes.
The aim of International Summer School is to create a lively and happy atmosphere that makes learning and international communication enjoyable. Young people can have fun, but also gain considerable skills in English. A full day in London is always included, as well as other places of cultural interest.
Students of all cultures are welcomed as our aim is to create a summer school which can truly be described as International.

24、Exchange a glance with someone, and then look away. Do you realize that you have made a statement? Hold the glance for a second longer and you have made a different situation, there is a permissible time that you can hold a person’s stare without being friendly, rude, or aggressive. If you are on a lift, what stare-time are you permitted? To answer this question, consider what you typically do. You very likely give other passengers a quick glance to size them up and to assure them that you mean no harm. Since being close to another person signals the possibility of interaction, you need to send out a signal telling others you want to be left alone. So you cut off eye contact----what sociologist Erving Goffiman calls “a dimming(变暗) of the lights”. You look down at the floor, at the indicator(指示) lights, anywhere but into another passenger’s eyes. Should you break the rule against staring at a stranger on a lift, you will make the other person extremely uncomfortable, and you are likely to feel a bit strange yourself.
If you hold eye contact for more than 3 seconds, what are you telling another person? Much depends on the person and the situation. For instance, a man and a woman communicate interest in this manner. They stare at each other for about 3 seconds at a time, and then drop their eyes down for 3 seconds, before letting their eyes meet again. But if one man gives another man a 3-second-plus stare, he signals, “I know you”, “I am interested in you” or “You look peculiar(奇怪) and I am curious about you”. This type of stare often produces hostile(敌意的) feelings.
【1】 If one is looked at by a stranger for too long, he tends to feel ________.
A. depressed B. uneasy
C. curious D. amused
【2】 If you want to be left alone on a lift, the best thing to do is _____.
A. to look into another passenger’s eyes
B. to avoid eye contact with other passengers
C. to signal you don’t mean to do harm to anyone
D. to keep a distance from other passengers
【3】It can be inferred from the first paragraph that ________.
A. every glance has its significance
B. staring at a person is an expression of interest
C. a stare longer than 3 seconds is unacceptable
D. a glance conveys more meaning than words
