the global innovator of fashion, has decided its fashion industry has lost an absolute right to define physical beauty for lawmakers gave preliminary approval last week to a law that would make it a

推斷題。根據(jù)France定位到文章前兩段,第一段講法國(guó)決定時(shí)裝業(yè)失去了定義(define)形體美(physical beauty)的絕對(duì)權(quán)力。法國(guó)的立法者通過(guò)了一項(xiàng)法律,雇用超瘦的模特屬于犯罪,議會(huì)也禁止網(wǎng)站通過(guò)推崇極端節(jié)食“鼓動(dòng)過(guò)度瘦弱”。第二段第二句提到“They suggest beauty should not be defined by looks that end up impinging on ’s a 。”由此可知,法國(guó)通過(guò)立法手段來(lái)改變法國(guó)時(shí)裝業(yè)模特超瘦的現(xiàn)狀,即[A]項(xiàng)的“形體美將會(huì)被重新定義”,是對(duì)原文內(nèi)容的合理推斷。[B]項(xiàng)“將會(huì)建造新的舞臺(tái)”,[C]項(xiàng)“有關(guān)節(jié)食的網(wǎng)站將會(huì)興起”,[D]項(xiàng)“時(shí)裝業(yè)將會(huì)衰退”,均不能從文中推測(cè)出來(lái),屬于“無(wú)中生有”。 phrase “impinging on”(Line 2, Para 2)is closest in meaning to____[A] heightening the value of.[B] indicating the state of.[C] losing faith in.[D] doing harm to.【答案】 [D] doing harm to【解析】猜詞題。定位到第二段第二句“They suggest beauty should not be defined by looks that end up impinging on 身體健康為代價(jià)的外表來(lái)界定?!眎mpinging on后面的賓語(yǔ)為“health”,即對(duì)健康的某種影響。根據(jù)第二段第三句“對(duì)超瘦模特的禁令似乎不僅僅是在防止模特挨餓致死——正如曾有人這么做過(guò)的”,可見法國(guó)目前的對(duì)美麗的定義導(dǎo)致了有人為了保持身材,挨餓致死,因此推測(cè)出這一短語(yǔ)在這里的意思為“侵犯,傷害”,[D]項(xiàng)“對(duì)??有害”正確。[A]項(xiàng)“增強(qiáng)了??的價(jià)值”,[B]項(xiàng)“反映了??的狀態(tài)”,[C]項(xiàng)“對(duì)??失去信心”均不符合句意。 of the following is true of the fashion industry?[A] The French measures have already failed.[B] New standards are being set in Denmark.[C] Model are no longer under peer pressure.[D] Its inherent problems are getting worse.【答案】 [B] New Standards are being set in Denmark【解析】細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)第五段第二句話“In Denmark,...it is trying to set voluntary standards for models and fashion...在丹麥,它正嘗試為模特設(shè)定自愿的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)??”,可知[B]項(xiàng)“在丹麥新的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)正在被設(shè)定”是對(duì)原文的同義替換。[A]項(xiàng)“法國(guó)的措施失敗了”;[C]項(xiàng)“不再有來(lái)自同行執(zhí)法的壓力”,文章第五段第二句后半句提到“images that rely more on peer pressure for enforcement”,屬于“正反混淆”;[D]項(xiàng)“它固有的問題變得更嚴(yán)重了”,文中第五段只提及時(shí)裝業(yè)有固有的問題,并未提及“變得更嚴(yán)重”,屬于“無(wú)中生有”。 designer is most likely to be rejected by CFW for ____[A] setting a high age threshold for models.[B] caring too much about models’ character.[C] showing little concern for health [D] pursuing perfect physical conditions.【答案】 [C] showing little concern for health factors【解析】推斷題。題設(shè)為“一個(gè)設(shè)計(jì)師很可能因?yàn)槭裁丛虮籆FW拒絕”,根據(jù)關(guān)鍵詞CFW可回到文中定位至倒數(shù)第二段,該段提到丹麥的時(shí)尚界就有關(guān)模特的年齡、健康及其他特性的內(nèi)容達(dá)成一致意見,且一項(xiàng)新法案也明確規(guī)定,他們已經(jīng)意識(shí)到時(shí)尚界對(duì)于人們尤其是年輕人的身體健康所帶來(lái)的影響,并且應(yīng)該對(duì)此承擔(dān)責(zé)任,這一法規(guī)的執(zhí)行方式就是拒絕一些設(shè)計(jì)師和模特經(jīng)紀(jì)機(jī)構(gòu)參加哥本哈根時(shí)裝周(CFW)。因此[C]項(xiàng)的“不關(guān)心健康因素”符合題意,為正確答案。[D]項(xiàng)“追求完美的身體狀況”,[B]項(xiàng)的“過(guò)多關(guān)注模特的性格”,[A]項(xiàng)“設(shè)定了一個(gè)模特高齡門檻”,均不符合題意。 of the following may be the best title of the text?[A] The Great Threats to the Fashion Industry[B] Just Another Round of Struggle for Beauty[C] A Dilemma for the Starving Models in France[D] A Challenge to the Fashion Industry’s Body Ideals【答案】 [D] A challenge to the Fashion Industry’s Body Ideals 【解析】主旨題。本文從首段就開始闡述法國(guó)通過(guò)立法禁止雇用超瘦的模特,時(shí)裝業(yè)已經(jīng)失去了定義女性身體之美的絕對(duì)權(quán)力,且議會(huì)也禁止網(wǎng)站通過(guò)宣傳過(guò)度節(jié)食來(lái)強(qiáng)調(diào)過(guò)度消瘦。第二段繼續(xù)說(shuō)明美麗不能只看外表,更不能以犧牲健康為代價(jià),時(shí)裝業(yè)應(yīng)該為傳遞給女性的不良信息負(fù)責(zé)。第三段說(shuō)明女性不該讓他人來(lái)評(píng)判自己的美麗。第四段講法國(guó)的措施更多的是依靠嚴(yán)厲的懲罰。最后三段提到了丹麥與法國(guó)截然不同的措施??v觀全文,文章主要在講各個(gè)國(guó)家對(duì)解決目前模特超瘦的現(xiàn)狀的措施,因此[D]項(xiàng)的“對(duì)時(shí)裝業(yè)身體典范的挑戰(zhàn)”是對(duì)原文的“高度概括”。Text
