Question

【題目】閱讀理解
“Beauty is only skin deep.” This expression means that beauty is only a temporary and surface（暫時而表面的） quality. And some beauty products can cause lasting harm that goes far below the surface of the skin. But people, especially women, will take a lot of risks for beauty.
In the United States, many people use sunlight and non-natural light to darken their skin. Health experts are against it, because it may lead to skin cancer.
In the African country of Senegal, some women take health risks trying to do just the opposite. They use products that lighten the skin. The World Health Organization says that 25 percent of Senegalese women use skin-lightening products. These products can have some chemicals such as mercury, hydroquinone and sodium hydroxide (汞、對苯二酚和氫氧化鈉). These are dangerous ingredients (成份) that can cause cancer and possibly other physical harm to the skin. They can even burn the eyes and skin.
Women in Senegal say they lighten their skin for the same reasons: women all over the world make changes to their looks. They say they want to look beautiful, to find a husband, or to stand out in a crowd. But some products are so strong. THEY must be mixed with others before they are used.
A woman filmmaker Khardiata Sall from Senegal made a movie “This Color That Worries Me”. It's about the subject of skin lightening. “I used the most scary pictures so that women would clearly see the dangers. It is hard to understand why a woman would tell herself that dark skin is not beautiful. It is in their heads. They want to please a man, to be loved. Or they want to please the society, to succeed.” Ms. Sall says the government needs to better control the market and the sale of skin lightening products. But she adds education is the best way to tell people against using them.
（1）According to the passage, Khardiata Sall ___________.
A.is a white woman
B.works as an actor
C.is against skin-lightening
D.wants to be white
（2）The word “THEY” in the fourth paragraph means ____________.
A.mercury, hydroquinone and sodium hydroxide

A.you want to please your parents
B.you want to make changes to your hobbies
C.you want to look better than men
D.you want to find a good job
（4）If you put the passage into three parts, which of the following is the best?( ①=Para. (自然段)1 ②=Para. 2 ③=Para.3 ④=Para.4 ⑤=Para.5 )

Answer 1

【答案】
（1）C
（2）D
（3）D
（4）A
【解析】本文屬于說明文閱讀，作者通過這篇文章向我們介紹了在美國許多人利用陽光和非自然光線使皮膚變黑，而在非洲塞加內爾的婦女不認為黑皮膚是美麗的，因此她們過度的使用美白產品使自己變白，然而這些美白產品會含有某些致癌的化學成分，Sall女士建議婦女們考慮自己的健康，不要使用這些產品。
（1）C細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段Ms．Sall says that the government needs to better control the marketing and sale of skin lightening products．But she adds that education is the best way to persuade people against using them．可知Sall女士認為政府需要更好地控制皮膚美白產品的推廣和銷售，應該說服人們不要使用這些產品，因此她是不贊成人們使用美白產品的，故答案選C。
（2）D細節(jié)判斷題。根據(jù)短文中的句子“But some products are so strong. THEY must be mixed with others before they are used.”但一些產品太強烈，必須在使用前和其他產品相混合�？芍�，此處的they指代副作用太過強烈的美白產品。所以答案是D。
（3）D細節(jié)推理題。根據(jù)短文中的句子“Women in Senegal say they lighten their skin for the same reasons: women all over the world make changes to their looks. They say they want to look beautiful, to find a husband, or to stand out in a crowd.”她們使用美白產品就是希望變得漂亮些，能找個老公，或者在人群中出眾。A. you want to please your parents你想取悅你的父母；B. you want to make changes to your hobbies你想改變你的愛好；C. you want to look better than men你想看起來比男人更漂亮；D. you want to find a good job你想找一份好工作。根據(jù)短文中的內容，D答案更符合題意。因為文中說她們想在人群中出眾，這樣有可能找到一份更好的工作。
（4）A段落大意題。第一自然段主要介紹一些女性愿意為美麗冒險，因為有些美容產品可能會對皮膚造成一種傷害。第二自然段介紹在美國，很多人使用陽光和非自然光線來讓皮膚變黑，這也是很危險的。第三、四、五自然段介紹了塞內加爾的女性對美白產品的鐘愛。所以答案是A。
