二、阅读理解：选择题（每题10分）

题目1、选择题

It can be really frustrating (使人沮丧的) for an overweight person to go

to a gym and work out with a positive attitude. All one has to do is walk by

almost any nice gym and notice all the healthy, sweating, “skinny” members.

Sometimes they stare at those of us who are, well, zaftig. It is easy to see the

judgment behind their eyes. Who wants to put up with that?

Many people are self-conscious of their bodies and feel isolated when

joining workout classes of while exercising, especially if they are larger than

most of the others in the group. Now the fitness industry is finally paying

attention. Popular gyms are catering (迎合) to overweight and weight

conscious customers by dedicating areas where the “skinny” people are not

allowed.

There are even gyms or programs that require members to be at least

50 pounds overweight to participate.

Trainers recommend functional fitness as a practical goal, rather than

six-pack abs(六块腹肌). They often use text messages to stay in touch with

customers.

Often at these specialized gyms, the trainers are overweight themselves,

or working on their own weight goals, and this can help those people with

anxiety caused by poor body image. The equipment has been designed for

use by larger people. Wider seats, more cushioning, no mirrors, and tinted

(有的) windows for privacy, are all important changes.

Hopefully these types of gyms will successfully grow in numbers in the future.

The idea is a very simple and potentially popular one. If it helps those of us

who are bigger exercise more and improve our fitness level, it's a step in the

right direction.

1、The word zaftig in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to （A）.

【A】：fat

【B】：healthy

【C】：friendly

2、We can infer from the first two paragraphs that （B）.

【A】：most large gym chains really don't want members to show up

frequently

【B】：overweight people are often frustrated and pushed away by

traditional gym industry

【C】：regular gyms don't accept overweight people to participate in

their programs

3、What is the training goal in the gyms catering to overweight members?（A）

【A】：To achieve functional fitness.

【B】：To build six-pack abs.

【C】：To look like a fitness model.

4、As for the gyms catering to overweight members, which of the following

statements is NOT TRUE?（C）

【A】：The machines are designed for larger people.

【B】：Tinted windows are used to ensure extra privacy.

【C】：There are large mirrors on the walls.

5、Which of the following is the best title for the passage?（C）

【A】：Improving Women's Self-confidence through Exercises.

【B】：The traditional Gym Industry Is Losing Its Customers.

【C】：Specialized Gyms Designed for Overweight People.

题目2、选择题

Liu Hui interviews Dr. Smith about the issue of educational inequality.

Liu Hui: Thank you, Dr. Smith, for agreeing to be interviewed by our Campus

News Weekly. First, what do you mean by educational inequality?

Dr. Smith: Educational inequality is the disparity that certain students

experience in their education as compared to other students. But the

meaning of it varies in different social contexts.

Liu Hui: Why does it exist in modern society?

Dr. Smith: Well, researchers link educational inequality to socioeconomic,

racial and geographic reasons.

Liu Hui: So it is very likely that educational inequality exists in different forms

in different countries.

Dr. Smith: Yeah, you are right. For example, in the United States, although

skin color is linked to other forms of inequality, it is evident in education.

Liu Hui: Educational inequality exists in China, too. For example, the college

entrance rate is much higher in Beijing than in other provinces. How do you

think can we someday eradicate the inequality?

Dr. Smith: It's impossible to answer such a big question in few words.

Educational inequality has become one of the most important political and

social issues in every nation nowadays. There have been numerous attempts

The National Union of Students (NUS) welcomes the news that greater

numbers of black and disabled students are studying at UK universities, but

there is still a lot of work to be done on widening access, writes the union's

president, Gemma Tumelty.

A recent Department of Communities and Local Government (DCLG)

equalities review showed that significant numbers of potential students felt

their disability was （B） to accessing higher education (HE). This is simply

unacceptable.

Equality and diversity is not entirely a “numbers game” and before too

much praise is given we need to hear more from （E） , not just about their

experience of accessing higher education but also going through the system.

Equality in society is absolutely, and fundamentally, linked to （C）.

（A）, university is the place where they will be first exposed to different

cultures and （D）. As well as fighting for better access, the NUS wants to

see diversity properly valued and promoted within the student experience.

Many pay lip service to the value of diversity, but is this recognized and

promoted as a core asset to those who go through the HE system?

Equality in society can be promoted by equality and diversity at

university. But the benefits of university as a positive, diverse environment

must be seen by students as adding “value” as much as any other factors

before the numbers game is really won by the champions of diversity.
