4.Rome,Paris and New York are the world's top fashion cities,all of which have produced some of the top
trends,from fashionable skirts to the hottest new shoes.But have you ever wondered about the negative
ideas that they have enforced?
  In April 2016,the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) in Britain banned an ad from Gucci that
featured models dancing around and having fun,because they were all extremely skinny.Banning ads due
to the models'extreme figures isn't new.The ASA banned an ad in 2015 for the same reason.In France,it
has been ruled that models are to provide a doctor's note proving that they are at a healthy weight.
   So what is the healthy weight for models?Twenty years ago,the average fashion model weighed 8%
less than the average woman.Today,they weigh 23% less.
   People may think that being at an unhealthy weight will help them gain the benefits that the models
do.This provides a standard for beauty,and therefore people who want to achieve those things may
attempt to obtain them through unhealthy ways.People may think they are overweight,due to the images
of models'thin figures.They see something wrong with their bodies,whether they are overweight or not.This is a key factor in a lowered body image,low self-esteem,depression and possibly even eating
disorders.
  I'm not blaming the fashion industry by any means.It's not their fault that many people look up to
the models and expect to live a life like theirs.I am glad that ASA is raising its voices when discussing the
growing issue of body images in the fashion industry.By banning the photos and videos,speaking out
against them and pushing for doctors'notes from the models,it's pushing for the idea that the traditional
fashion industry's body image demands should be changed and something more needs to be questioned.

51.One of Gucci's ads was banned mainly becauseA.
A.its models are much too thin
B.none of its models had a doctor's note
C.models didn't act according to the rules
D.its models were dancing in an unhealthy way
52.The numbers mentioned in Paragrapg 3 show thatC.
A.people don't know why models weigh less
B.many women are on a diet to become models
C.models are becoming thinner with time going by
D.the healthy weight for models hasn't been decided
53.What does the fourth paragraph mainly show?A
A.The negative effects of models'images.
B.People's attitude towards models'images.
C.The benefits of becoming thin figures.
D.The changes in the standard of beauty.
54.The possible purpose of the ASA's measures is toB.
A.change the fortune models'are faced with
B.set up new standards of models'body images
C.criticize the traditional standards for models
D.encourage more people to live a life like models
55.What is the author's tone of writing this passage?C

分析 本文作者從英國(guó)廣告標(biāo)準(zhǔn)局(ASA)因模特太瘦從而禁播了一條Gucci的時(shí)裝廣告寫(xiě)起,并通過(guò)數(shù)據(jù)分析,說(shuō)明了隨著時(shí)間的推移,模特們變得越來(lái)越瘦了;繼而指出了模特極瘦的形象所帶來(lái)的一系列的負(fù)面影響,從而肯定了ASA的做法.

解答 答案:
51.A   細(xì)節(jié)理解題    根據(jù)第一段"In April 2016,the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) in Britain banned…,because they were all extremely skinny."可知,2016年4月,英國(guó)廣告標(biāo)準(zhǔn)局(ASA)因模特太瘦從而禁播了一條Gucci的時(shí)裝廣告;故選A.
52.C   細(xì)節(jié)推理題     根據(jù)第三段提供的數(shù)字分析可知,與二十年前時(shí)裝模特的平均體重相比,今天她們的平均體重變得更輕了;從而說(shuō)明了:隨著時(shí)間的推移,模特們變得越來(lái)越瘦了;故選C.
53.A   內(nèi)容歸納題    文中第四段主要講述了模特極瘦的形象對(duì)人們?cè)斐傻囊恍┎缓玫挠绊懀缫恍┤丝赡軙?huì)試圖通過(guò)不健康的方式獲取模特們所獲得的一些利益;由于人們將模特不健康的體重作為審美的標(biāo)準(zhǔn),所以不管自己是否超重,他們總覺(jué)得自己的身體有問(wèn)題;因此,這就使得他們損毀了身體形象,變得低自尊,得了抑郁癥,甚至可能造成飲食失調(diào);故選A(模特形象的負(fù)面影響).
54.B    內(nèi)容歸納題     根據(jù)第四段講到了模特極瘦的形象所帶來(lái)的負(fù)面影響可知,英國(guó)廣告標(biāo)準(zhǔn)局(ASA)采取措施的可能目的是:改變模特極瘦的身體形象,即樹(shù)立模特身體形象新標(biāo)準(zhǔn);故選B.
55.C    情感態(tài)度題      A. 批評(píng)的.B.幽默的.C.幽默的.D.抱有希望的.通讀全文以及根據(jù)最后一段中的"I'm not blaming the fashion industry by any means.我并不是在指責(zé)時(shí)裝界"可知,作者報(bào)道的是實(shí)際存在的現(xiàn)象,故作者是以客觀的口吻來(lái)撰寫(xiě)這篇文章的;故選C.

點(diǎn)評(píng) 做本題時(shí),首先應(yīng)快速瀏覽全文,把握文章的大意以及作者的寫(xiě)作思路;其次,可以通過(guò)對(duì)相關(guān)細(xì)節(jié)的理解,以及通過(guò)邏輯推理或內(nèi)容歸納,選出正確的答案.

14.American black bears appear in a variety of colors despite their name.In the eastern part of their range(地理分布區(qū)),most of these bears have shiny black fur,but in the west they grow brown,red or even yellow coats.To the north,the black bear is actually gray or white.Even in the same litter(窩),both brown and black furred bears may be born.
Black bears are the smallest of all American bears,ranging in length from 5to 6feet,weighing from 300to 500pounds.Their eyes and ears are small and their eyesight and hearing are not as good as their sense of smell.Like all bears,the black bear is shy,clumsy(笨拙的) and rarely dangerous.However,if cornered,the black bear can become a fearful enemy.
Black bears feed on leaves,roots,fruit,insects,fish and even larger animals.One of the most interesting characteristics of bears,including the black bear,is their winter sleep.Unlike many other animals,bears do not actually hibernate(冬眠).Although the bear does not eat during the winter months,its temperature remains almost normal,and it breathes regularly four or five times per minute.
Most black bears live alone,except during the mating season (交配季節(jié)).A litter of one to four cubs is born in January or February and they remain with their mother until they are fully grown or about one and a half years old.Black bears can live as long as thirty years in the wild,and even longer in game preserves set aside for them.

48.What do we know about the fur color of American black bears?B.
A.Most of them have black fur.
B.Their fur color depends on their living range.
C.They change their fur color throughout their life.
D.They are always of the same fur color as their brothers.
49.American black bears have a good sense ofA.
A.smell
B.hearing
C.eyesight
D.taste
50.Which of the following is TRUE about American black bears?A.
A.Their way of"hibernating"is unique.
B.They are able to live at most thirty years.
C.They are regarded as the smallest bear in the world.
D.The babies can soon live by themselves after birth.

20.Nothing could stop Dad.After he was put on disability for a bad back,he bought a small farm in the country,just enough to grow food for the family.He planted vegetables,fruit trees and even kept bees for honey.
And every week he cleaned Old Man McColgin's chicken house in exchange for manure(肥料).The smell really burned the inside of your nose.When we complained(抱怨) about the terrible smell,Dad said the stronger the manure,the healthier the crops,and he was right.For example,just one of his cantaloupes(甜瓜) filled the entire house with its sweet smell,and the taste was even sweeter.
As the vegetables started coming in,Dad threw himself into cooking.One day,armed with a basket of vegetables,he announced(宣稱) he was going to make stew(燉菜).Dad pulled out a pressure cooker and filled it up with cabbages,eggplants,potatoes,corns,onions and carrots.For about half an hour,the pressure built and the vegetables cooked.Finally,Dad turned off the stove,the pot began to cool and the pressure relief valve sprayed out a cloud of steam.If we thought Dad's pile of chicken manure was bad,this was 10 times worse.When Dad took off the lid,the smell nearly knocked us out.
Dad carried the pot out and we opened doors and windows to air out the house.Just how bad was it?The neighbours came out of their houses to see if we had a gas leak!
Determined,Dad filled our plates with steaming stew and passed them around.It didn't look that bad,and after the first wave had shut down my ability to smell,it didn't offend the nose so much,either.I took a taste.It would never win a prize in a cooking competition,but it was surprisingly edible,and we drank up every last drop of soup.
29.Why did Dad clean Old Man McColgin's chicken house regularly?C
A.To earn some money for the family.
B.To get rid of the terrible smell.
C.To collect manure for his crops.
D.To set a good example to us.
30.What can we infer about Dad's stew?B
A.It is popular among the neighbours.
B.It tastes quite delicious.
C.It looks very wonderful.
D.It contains honey and vegetables.
31.What does the underlined word"offend"in the last paragraph mean?B
A.To attract.
B.To upset.
C.To air.
D.To shut.
32.What can we learn about Dad from the text?C
A.He is an experienced cook.
B.He is a troublesome father.
C.He has a positive attitude to life.
D.He suffers a lot from his disability.
