题目内容

1.Israel has passed a law banning the use of underweight models in advertising.Known as the"Photoshop Law",it also requires that agencies tell their audience if they've digitally changed pictures to make models look thinner.
The new law prohibits the use of models with a body mass index of 18.5 or less,a designation based on internationally accepted measures.The figure matches the set of fixed limits by the U.S.Department of Health.
The law doesn't set a money amount that can be gained in court from such a suit.Lawmakers realize that it may be a long and difficult process to prove in court that a company broke the new law,but they feel that simply having the law in place will accomplish what they want; stopping advertising companies from continuing to influence Israelis with images of unhealthy-looking models as the gold standard of beauty.
Some modeling agencies in Israel aren't happy.
They say that the indexes on which the law is based are arbitrary and are not appropriate for every model.Many models who are totally healthy girls might be disqualified because of the law.Some models are naturally thin and unable to gain weight and the new law would unfairly prevent them from finding jobs.
However,plus-size American supermodel Emme told CNN that she thinks the law will cause other countries to make similar measures against showing underweight models."I think this is fantastic because so many young women and men are suffering to look in a way that is unrealistic and unhealthy,"she said.
60.What is"Photoshop Law"about?B
A.Banning the use of underweight models.
B.Banning underweight models in advertising.
C.Banning changing pictures digitally.
D.Banning models in advertising.
61.The underlined word"suit"in Paragraph 3 meansC.
A.a set of clothing
B.a group of rooms
C.an action in court
D.a fitness to the case
62.What can we know from the passage?D
A.All models are happy about the law.
B.All advertising agencies are happy about the law.
C.The law makes no sense.
D.There are arguments over the beauty standard of models.

分析 本文属于广告类阅读,本文报道了以色列通过的一个法律,这个法律禁止公司使用体重太轻的模特,因为体重太轻会影响人们的健康,文章中还描述了人们对这个法律的不同的反应.

解答 60.B  细节理解题.根据文章第一段Israel has passed a law banning the use of underweight models in advertising.Known as the"Photoshop Law"可知这个法案禁止体重太轻的模特出现在广告里,故选B.
61.C  词义猜测题.根据第三段The law doesn't set a money amount that can be gained in court from such a suit.可知这部法律并没有设定如果违背了这个法律要被罚款的数额.说明这里的suit表示的是违法行为,故选C.
62.D  推理判断题.根据文章倒数第二段Some models are naturally thin and unable to gain weight and the new law would unfairly prevent them from finding jobs.可知有一些公司对这个法律持怀疑的态度,认为这对那些天生就瘦的模特是不公平的.文章最后一段"I think this is fantastic because so many young women and men are suffering to look in a way that is unrealistic and unhealthy,"she said.也有一些人对于这个法律持支持的态度.说明对于模特的标准有着争论,故选D.

2.Food,football and fashion-Milan has it a11.The city is perhaps most famous for its annual Milan Fashion Week and its world-class soccer teams AC Milan and Inter Milan.And May will see it host the six-month Milan Expo,the theme of which is food and nutrition.
Milan may not the first place tourists think of when they think of Italy.Rome is the most famous city in Italian history,Venice draws visitors who want to travel along its canals and Florence is popular with art lovers.Yet Milan can often be left off tourists'lists.But although some see Milan as the"ugly sister"of these cities,according to Lonely Planet,in 2015the city is"suddenly back in fashion in a big way".
The Milan Expo will look at the future of food,trying to answer the question of how Earth's fast-growing population can be fed in the future.According to Lonely Planet website."144countries will set up shop northwest of central Milan,forming a mini city-within-a-city".
Milan's famous opera house,La Scala,normally closed in the summer,will also host daily performances during the expo,reported Fox News.
Not interested in opera?Don't worry.Visitors who prefer sports may want to visit the San Siro stadium,home of the soccer teams AC Milan and Inter Milan.Tile stadium is one of the most famous in Europe and has seen many important games over the years,both in Serie A and the European Champions League.
So even if all of its fashion and beautiful people can make Milan seem"soulless",as Lonely Planet said.it still has"a serious sense of history and place".Many people will be discovering it this year,and eating great food from all over the world to help solve world problems.Will you?

28.Which of the following statements is True about Milan?D
A.It is the largest city in Italy and has the longest history.
B.It is hosting the world's largest Fashion Week in 2015.
C.Football,fashion and ancient canals are three features of the city.
D.The city's La Scala opera house will offer additional performances in 2015.
29.What's the attitudes of the editors from Lonely Planet towards the city of Milan?C
A.uninterlested.    
B.modest.    
C.favorable.  
D.dissatisfied.

A.enjoy food from all over the world
B.Watch great football games
C.Travel along the canals
D.Enjoy great art works

D.explain why Milan will be holding the world Expo in 2015.
