73、kely to be done one night,答案与解析【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。文章主要向我们描述了在决定东西的价值时,外表不是最重要的。这也是爱自己的身体运动的意义所在,我们应该为我们是谁而珍惜自己。文章就该如何爱自己的身体提出了一些建议。36.B根据前文“A famous saying goes:Dont judge a book by its cover.”可知看人不要只看外表,外观不应该是最重要的。故选B项。37.C根据前文“Many people still dont feel confident in themselves and their appearance.”可知

76、 later.”可知对自己感到舒服是一个漫长的过程,不可能一个晚上就可以完成,但是还是不能放弃,因为迟早会成功的。故选G项。第三部分语言运用(共两节,满分30分)第一节(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。An old man lived in a nice farmhouse with a large garden.He was seen tending his flowers41.Because of his hard work and care,many colourful flowers blossomed
