题目内容

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 forbids the use of models with a body mass index of 18.5 or less, a standard 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 (任意的)and are not suitable 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.

1.What is “Photoshop Law” about?

A. Banning the use of underweight models.

B. Banning underweight models in advertising.

C. Banning changing pictures digitally.

D. Banning models in advertising.

2.The underlined word “suit” in Paragraph 3 means           .

A . a set of clothing

B. a group of rooms

C. an action in court

D. a performance in advertising

3.What can we know from the passage?

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.

试题分析：本文报道了以色列通过的一个法律，禁止公司使用体重太轻的模特。文章中还描述了人们对这个法律的不同的反应。

1.B 细节题。根据文章第一段第一句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影响以色列。故B正确。

2.C 推理题。根据本句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，也就是C项。

3.D 推理题。在文章倒数第二段里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。在文章最后一段里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D正确。
