全國(guó)英語(yǔ)等級(jí)考試三級(jí)模擬題：閱讀理理（七）

There is a saying"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder."What one person considers beauty may not be beautiful to another.When we talk about beauty in people,we often refer to their physical attractiveness.Of course,a beautiful or handsome face is pleasant to look at.But to me beauty is not only something that pleases the eyes,but also pleases the other senses and the mind.I think true beauty makes you see beyond the lovely sight.It will give you insight or realization of something interesting beyond just the outward appearance.

The most memorable"beautiful people"are those who have attractive personalities behind the pretty faces.

In one of my previous classes,there were two beautiful girls,Sue and Lin.Both had almost perfect faces and slender figures.But Lin was used to getting her own way.She felt that her looks could help her get anything she wanted,especially among the boys.Sue,on the other hand,treated her beauty in a matter of-fact way and she was nice to everyone.She was also a member of the debating team.Her personality was mostly accepted by others and it made her a more outstanding beauty than Lin.

Inner beauty is another kind of beauty that attracts people greatly.People who have this kind of beauty have attained inner peace.They care about their fellowmen,and try to right the injustices in this world.Two well-known personalities who exemplify this are Nelson Mandela and Mother Theresa.Mandela is willing to sacrifice his life and freedom to obtain equal rights for the blacks in South Africa.Mother Theresa"s mission is to help the poorest of the world"s poor.This inner beauty makes the world a better place.

參考答案：

有句俗語(yǔ)說(shuō)“美在旁觀者眼中”，一個(gè)人認(rèn)為美對(duì)另一個(gè)人來(lái)說(shuō)可能不美。當(dāng)我們談?wù)撊说拿罆r(shí)，我們經(jīng)常提到他們的外表魅力。當(dāng)然，一張漂亮或英俊的臉是令人愉快的。但對(duì)我來(lái)說(shuō)，美麗不僅僅是一種取悅眼睛，也能使其他感官和心靈愉悅。我認(rèn)為真正的美讓你看不到可愛(ài)的景色。它會(huì)讓你洞察或認(rèn)識(shí)到一些有趣的東西，而不僅僅是外表。

最令人難忘的“美麗的人”是那些在漂亮的面孔后面有著迷人個(gè)性的人。

在我以前的一次課上，有兩個(gè)漂亮的女孩，蘇和林，她們的臉幾乎完美，身材苗條。但林習(xí)慣了自己的方式。她覺(jué)得她的長(zhǎng)相可以幫助她得到她想要的任何東西，尤其是在男孩中。另一方面，蘇對(duì)她的美貌實(shí)際上是一視同仁的。

她對(duì)每個(gè)人都很好。她也是辯論隊(duì)的成員。她的個(gè)性大多被別人所接受，這使她比林更為突出。

內(nèi)在美是另一種非常吸引人的美。擁有這種美的人獲得內(nèi)心的平靜。他們關(guān)心自己的同胞，努力糾正這個(gè)世界上的不公正。納爾遜·曼德拉和特蕾莎修女是兩位著名的人物。曼德拉愿意犧牲自己的生命和自由，為南非黑人爭(zhēng)取平等的權(quán)利。特蕾莎修女的使命是幫助世界上最貧窮的人。這種內(nèi)在美使世界變得更好。
