高中基础 (第12期) 1版 2017-2018学年 Thanks * Are you satisfied with your physical appearance? Why or why not? What do you think defines beauty? Why? * Have you ever heard about the “The Most Beautiful High School Students / Vocational School Students” beauty contest? Has anyone in your school been given the honor? If so, why do you think he or she is “beautiful”? Why, you may think1, can’t I be as beautiful as a movie star? Well, the answer is you can and it doesn’t require2 any expensive plastic surgery or a Meitu Xiuxiu app. All you need2 is to develop your “inner” beauty. 1 恰当地使用插入语，有时可使行文显得更加老练、地道。 2 require跟need这两个词在汉语中都可以翻译成“需要”，但两者在适用场合上有明显区别。need侧重指个人情感层面的需要。如果你“need”某物，则意味着你有必要得到它，它是生存或者达到某目的必备品。相较而言，require表示“需要”时更为正式，它通常表示“必须、具有强制性”的需要。 * SENTENCES A teacher colleague of mine1 (her English name is Penny) has such2 inner beauty. 1 a teacher colleague of mine相当于one of my teacher colleagues。注意不要受中文思维影响，这里应该用mine，而不用me。 2 such和so都可以解释为“如此；这样”，但用法却不相同。such用来修饰名词，名词前有无形容词都可以；so用来修饰形容词或副词，形容词后可以省略名词。此外，so后即使有形容词，也不能修饰复数名词或不可数名词，而such则可以。 * SENTENCES * SENTENCES They had spent their vacation getting plastic surgery and their puffy faces no longer matched1 their passport photos ...

In spite of ____________ work as editor, hack writer and sea captain, he wound up poor. 2. At first ____________, the hotel seems like it got stuck in a time machine — an analog clock here, an Eames-style chair there. 3. The people were driven to ___________ by the horrors of war. 4. Art is never a commodity (商品). Commodities are identical units of sure value — bushels of wheat, say — whose price changes from time to time and place to place. Artworks are one-of-a-kind items, materially worthless, which have in common tha
