16．"If you had to choose，would you prefer a woman with a hot body or a beautiful face？"It's a classic question that every woman wants to ask their boyfriend．Of course，he would prefer both．However，only a small number of women are blessed with Victoria's Secret model genes．
I once read an article that said，nowadays，some women wouldn't let their boyfriends see their real face．They wear concealer（遮瑕霜） even when they go to bed and get up earlier so that they have enough time to put on some makeup before he wakes up．
Looking perfect means a lot to them．They are easily affected by the current standards set on beauty．
They go to extremes in search of a unified and recognized image of beauty，and once they find it，they work hard to get and maintain it．
Part of the reason they behave this way is people impose stereotyped ideas about beauty on them．The other part of the reason is they are not confident enough about themselves and easily give in to the fancies of men．
So，instead of asking men to answer this question，women should bear in mind that the scope of beauty is getting broader and broader．Only when they really appreciate their own beauty，will they become more confident．
"I feel free，once I realized I was never going to fit the narrow pattern that society wanted me to fit in，"reads a quote from Ashley Graham，the first plus-size model to appear on the cover of Vogue．
We don't want to see similar beautiful faces on the street，looking like products from the same assembly line．
Don't label yourself a certain kind of woman．Be the woman that gets to decide who you are and how you should look．Being different is beautiful； being confident is beautiful； being real is beautiful．

32．Why are women unwilling to show their boyfriends real face？A
A．Because they may be lacking in confidence．
B．Because they appreciate their made-up appearance．
C．Because wearing concealer means a sense of safety for them．
D．Because they are easily affected by the current beauty standard．
33．Which of the following is true according to Ashley Graham？C
A．Making up enables a woman to look attractive．
B．She is hard to fit in this society．
C．Women should be confident to recognize their difference．
D．She believes beauty doesn't lie outside but inside．
34．What may be the main purpose of the passage？B
A．To tell us the beauty of women matters little．
B．To advise women to appreciate their own beauty．
C．To define the current beauty standard．
D．To encourage women to wear concealer for confidence．
35．What can be a suitable title for the text？D
A．Inner beauty outweighs outside one
B．Confidence makes beauty
C．Be confident without doubt
D．Appreciate yourself as you are．

15．第一节 完形填空
Using public toilets in China can often be a challenging undertaking，particularly for those not practiced in the art of sitting deep．（41）Cresearchers in China have come up with a new （42）Athat they say can help （43）Da poisonous problem bothering China's public toilets：the overpowering odor （恶臭）．
Unlike chemical solutions，（44）Aare expensive and can （45）Cthe environment，the new biotreatment is being thought as a cost-effective way of protecting the environment to （46）B75percent of the bad smell in bathrooms，according to researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences．The （47）Bbehind the treatment lies in a special （48）Cof two types of bacteria---lactobacillius sp （乳杆菌类细菌） and streptococcus thermopiles （嗜热链球菌）---as well as the elements of oranges．The prepared mixture，which comes in liquid or powder form，feeds on human waste when applied，thus （49）A the growth of odor-making bacteria．However，not yet available in （50）Dthe odor-killing technology is still undergoing （51）C．Many experiments with the solution are being （52）A in the Huanglong Nature Preserve and Jiuzhaigou National Park．
We can see the technology is especially suited for use in the nonflushing （非冲水） toilets often found in these types of nature preserves，since water regulations in these areas are often very （53）Aand pipes are difficult to （54）D．Portable bathrooms，while （55）D，are relatively expensive to maintain compared with the biosolution．
This way （56）Bcan see that not only are your （57）Cnice，but the toilets and the other facilities at the site are pleasant as well and the technology has other （58）Cas well，such as the treatment of rubbish，said the administrator of Jiuzhaigou National Park．
If （59）Dto its effectiveness prove true，the technology is likely to be （60）A by the Chinese health authorities．
