10、ards of a particular industry.21.Aording to the first paragraph,what would happen in France?A Physical beauty would be redefined.B New runways would be constructed.C Websites about dieting would thrive.D The fashion industry would decline.【答案】A Physical beauty would be redefined 【解析】推断题。根据 France 定位
11、到文章前两段,第一段讲法国决定时装业失去了定义(define)形体美(physical beauty)的绝对权力。法国的立法者通过了一项法律,雇用超瘦的属于犯罪,议会也制止网站通过推崇极端节食“煽动过度瘦弱”。第二段第二句提到“They suggest beauty should not be defined by looks that end up impinging on health.Thats a start.他们建议美丽不应该以伤害身体安康为代价的外表来界定。”由此可知,法国通过立法手段来改变法国时装业模特超瘦的现状,即A项的“形体美将会被重新定义”,是对原文内容的合理推断。B项“将
12、会建造新的舞台”,C项“有关节食的网站将会兴起”,D项“时装业将会”,均不能从文中推测出来,属于“无中生有”。22.The phrase“impinging on”(Line 2,Para 2)is closest in meaning to A heightening the value of.欢迎您阅读并下载本文档,本文档来源于互联网,如有侵权请联系删除!我们将竭诚为您提供优质的文档!B indicating the state of.C losing faith in.D doing harm to.【答案】D doing harm to 【解析】猜词题。定位到第二段第二句“They s
13、uggest beauty should not be defined by looks that end up impinging on health.他们建议美丽不应该以 身体安康为代价的外表来界定。”impinging on 后面的宾语为“health”,即对安康的某种影响。根据第二段第三句“对超瘦模特的禁令似乎不仅仅是在防止模特挨饿致死正如曾有人这么做过的”,可见法国目前的对美丽的定义导致了有人为了保持身材,挨饿致死,因此推测出这一短语在这里的意思为“侵犯,伤害”,D项“对有害”正确。A项“增强了的价值”,B项“反映了的状态”,C项“对失去信心”均不符合句意。23.Which of t
14、he following is true of the fashion industry?A The French measures have already failed.B New standards are being set in Denmark.C Model are no longer under peer pressure.D Its inherent problems are getting worse.【答案】B New Standards are being set in Denmark 【解析】细节题。根据第五段第二句话“In Denmark,.it is trying
15、to set voluntary standards for models and fashion.在丹麦,它正尝试为模特设定自愿的标准”,可知B项“在丹麦新的标准正在被设定”是对原文的同义替换。A项“法国的措施欢迎您阅读并下载本文档,本文档来源于互联网,如有侵权请联系删除!我们将竭诚为您提供优质的文档!失败了”;C项“不再有同行执法的压力”,文章第五段第二句后半句提到“images that rely more on peer pressure for enforcement”,属于“正反混淆”;D项“它固有的问题变得更严重了”,文中第五段只提及时装业有固有的问题,并未提及“变得更严重”,属
16、于“无中生有”。24.A designer is most likely to be rejected by CFW for A setting a high age threshold for models.B caring too much about models character.C showing little concern for health factors.D pursuing perfect physical conditions.【答案】C showing little concern for health factors 【解析】推断题。题设为“一个设计师很可能因为什
17、么原因被CFW 回绝”,根据关键词 CFW 可回到文中定位至倒数第二段,该段提到丹麦的时尚界就有关模特的年龄、安康及其他特性的内容达成一致意见,且一项新法案也明确规定,他们已经意识到时尚界对于人们尤其是年轻人的身体安康所带来的影响,并且应该对此承担责任,这一法规的执行方式就是回绝一些设计师和模特经纪机构参加哥本哈根时装周(CFW)。因此C项的“不关心安康因素”符合题意,为正确答案。D项“追求完美的身体状况”,B项的“过多关注模特的性格”,A项“设定了一个模特高龄门槛”,均不符合题意。25.Which of the following may be the best title of the t

19、文从首段就开始阐述法国通过立法制止雇用超瘦的模特,时装业已经失去了定义女性身体之美的绝对权力,且议会也制止网站通过宣传过度节食来强调过度消瘦。第二段继续说明美丽不能只看外表,更不能以牺牲安康为代价,时装业应该为传递给女性的不良信息负责。第三段说明女性不该让他人来评判自己的美丽。第四段讲法国的措施更多的是依靠严厉的惩罚。最后三段提到了丹麦与法国截然不同的措施。纵观全文,文章主要在讲各个国家对解决目前模特超瘦的现状的措施,因此D项的“对时装业身体典范的挑战”是对原文的“高度概括”。Just how much does the Constitution protect your digital da

31、an search for the contents of a mobile phone without a warrant if the phone is on or around a person during an arrest”,一一比对选项,原文中的“police can search for the contents of a mobile phone without a warrant”与选项 C“check suspects phone contents without being authorized”是同义替换,其他选项均是无关选项。27.The authors attit
32、ude toward Californias argument is one of A disapproval.B indifference.C tolerance.Dcautiousness.【答案】A disapproval 【解析】此题是观点态度题,考察作者的态度。根据题干关键词“Californias argument”,可以定位到文章第四段第一句“They should start by discarding Californias lame argument”。由第四段第一句话中的“discard(抛弃)”和“lame(没有说服力的)”可以看出作者对于 Californias ar

37、echnology requires reinterpretation of the Constitution.CCalifornias argument violates principles of the Constitution.Dprinciples of the Constitution should never be altered 【答案】A the Constitution should be implemented flexibly 【解析】这是一道例证题,根据题干关键词 Orin Kerr 可以回文定位到文章最后一段。作者引用 Orin Kerr 这个人的比较是为了说明相关的论点。分析最后一段构造可知,最后一段的第三句和第四句都是在阐述该例子本身,所以相关论点应该往前面找,即是第二句话,“New,disruptive technology sometimes demands novel applications of the Constitutions protection”,选项A 与之同义替换,其中,be implemented 和 applications 对应,novel 和 flexibly 对应。
