Question

【题目】阅读理解
“Beauty is only skin deep.” This expression means that beauty is only a temporary and surface（暂时而表面的） 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、对苯二酚和氢氧化钠). 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

Answer 1

【答案】
（1）C
（2）D
（3）D
（4）A
【解析】本文属于说明文阅读，作者通过这篇文章向我们介绍了在美国许多人利用阳光和非自然光线使皮肤变黑，而在非洲塞加内尔的妇女不认为黑皮肤是美丽的，因此她们过度的使用美白产品使自己变白，然而这些美白产品会含有某些致癌的化学成分，Sall女士建议妇女们考虑自己的健康，不要使用这些产品。
（1）C细节理解题。根据最后一段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女士认为政府需要更好地控制皮肤美白产品的推广和销售，应该说服人们不要使用这些产品，因此她是不赞成人们使用美白产品的，故答案选C。
（2）D细节判断题。根据短文中的句子“But some products are so strong. THEY must be mixed with others before they are used.”但一些产品太强烈，必须在使用前和其他产品相混合。可知，此处的they指代副作用太过强烈的美白产品。所以答案是D。
（3）D细节推理题。根据短文中的句子“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.”她们使用美白产品就是希望变得漂亮些，能找个老公，或者在人群中出众。A. you want to please your parents你想取悦你的父母；B. you want to make changes to your hobbies你想改变你的爱好；C. you want to look better than men你想看起来比男人更漂亮；D. you want to find a good job你想找一份好工作。根据短文中的内容，D答案更符合题意。因为文中说她们想在人群中出众，这样有可能找到一份更好的工作。
（4）A段落大意题。第一自然段主要介绍一些女性愿意为美丽冒险，因为有些美容产品可能会对皮肤造成一种伤害。第二自然段介绍在美国，很多人使用阳光和非自然光线来让皮肤变黑，这也是很危险的。第三、四、五自然段介绍了塞内加尔的女性对美白产品的钟爱。所以答案是A。
