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
A.Critical.
B.Humorous.
C.Objective.
D.Hopeful.

分析 本文作者从英国广告标准局(ASA)因模特太瘦从而禁播了一条Gucci的时装广告写起,并通过数据分析,说明了随着时间的推移,模特们变得越来越瘦了;继而指出了模特极瘦的形象所带来的一系列的负面影响,从而肯定了ASA的做法.

解答 答案:
51.A   细节理解题    根据第一段"In April 2016,the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) in Britain banned…,because they were all extremely skinny."可知,2016年4月,英国广告标准局(ASA)因模特太瘦从而禁播了一条Gucci的时装广告;故选A.
52.C   细节推理题     根据第三段提供的数字分析可知,与二十年前时装模特的平均体重相比,今天她们的平均体重变得更轻了;从而说明了:随着时间的推移,模特们变得越来越瘦了;故选C.
53.A   内容归纳题    文中第四段主要讲述了模特极瘦的形象对人们造成的一些不好的影响,如一些人可能会试图通过不健康的方式获取模特们所获得的一些利益;由于人们将模特不健康的体重作为审美的标准,所以不管自己是否超重,他们总觉得自己的身体有问题;因此,这就使得他们损毁了身体形象,变得低自尊,得了抑郁症,甚至可能造成饮食失调;故选A(模特形象的负面影响).
54.B    内容归纳题     根据第四段讲到了模特极瘦的形象所带来的负面影响可知,英国广告标准局(ASA)采取措施的可能目的是:改变模特极瘦的身体形象,即树立模特身体形象新标准;故选B.
55.C    情感态度题      A. 批评的.B.幽默的.C.幽默的.D.抱有希望的.通读全文以及根据最后一段中的"I'm not blaming the fashion industry by any means.我并不是在指责时装界"可知,作者报道的是实际存在的现象,故作者是以客观的口吻来撰写这篇文章的;故选C.

点评 做本题时,首先应快速浏览全文,把握文章的大意以及作者的写作思路;其次,可以通过对相关细节的理解,以及通过逻辑推理或内容归纳,选出正确的答案.

14.American black bears appear in a variety of colors despite their name.In the eastern part of their range(地理分布区),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(窝),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 (交配季节).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.

Six years ago,I was  (42)Bwith a care-free,stop-and-smell-the-roses type of (43)D.When I needed to rush out,she was taking her sweet  (44)A  picking out a purse and a shining crown.When I needed to have a  (45)B 1unch,she'd stop to speak to the elderly woman who looked like her grandma.Whenever my child caused me to deviate(偏离) from my main (46)C,I thought to myself,we don-t have time for this.(47)A,the two words I most commonly spoke to my little lover of life were:"(48)D!"

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(宣称) he was going to make stew(炖菜).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.
