考研英語一真題及詳解（Ⅱ）

　　Section Ⅱ Reading Comprehension

　　Part A

　　Directions：Read the following four texts. Answer the questions after each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. (40 points)

　　Text1

　　France，which prides itself as the global innovator of fashion, has decided its fashion industry has lost an absolute right to define physical beauty for women. Its lawmakers gave preliminary approval last week to a law that would make it a crime to employ ultra-thin models on runways. The parliament also agreed to ban websites that “incite excessive thinness” by promoting extreme dieting.

　　Such measures have a couple of uplifting motives. They suggest beauty should not be defined by looks that end up impinging on health. That’s a start. And the ban on ultra-thin models seems to go beyond protecting models from starving themselves to death –as some have done. It tells the fashion industry that it must take responsibility for the signal it sends women, especially teenage girls, about the social tape-measure they must use to determine their individual worth.

　　The bans, if fully enforced, would suggest to women (and many men) that they should not let others be arbiters of their beauty. And perhaps faintly, they hint that people should look to intangible qualities like character and intellect rather than dieting their way to size zero or wasp-waist physiques.

　　The French measures, however, rely too much on severe punishment to change a culture that still regards beauty as skin-deep-and bone-showing. Under the law, using a fashion model that does not meet a government-defined index of body mass could result in a $85,000 fine and six months in prison.

　　The fashion industry knows it has an inherent problem in focusing on material adornment and idealized body types. In Denmark, the United States, and a few other countries, it is trying to set voluntary standards for models and fashion images that rely more on peer pressure for enforcement.

　　In contrast to France’s actions, Denmark’s fashion industry agreed last month on rules and sanctions regarding the age, health, and other characteristics of models. The newly revised Danish Fashion Ethical Charter clearly states:”We are aware of and take responsibility for the impact the fashion industry has on body ideals, especially on young people”. The charter’s main tool of enforcement is to deny access for designers and modeling agencies to Copenhagen Fashion Week (CFW), which is run by the Danish Fashion Institute. But in general it relies on a name-and -shame method of compliance.

　　Relying on ethical persuasion rather than law to address the misuse of body ideals may be the best step. Even better would be to help elevate notions of beauty beyond the material standards of a particular industry.

　　21.答案 A Physical beauty would be redefined

　　解析：這是一道細(xì)節(jié)題，根據(jù)France定位到第一段第一句，主干成分為France has lost an absolute right to define physical beauty。此外第二段第二句They suggest beauty should not be define by looks…故而A physical beauty would be redefined為同義替換，即為正確答案。

　　22.答案 D doing harm to

　　解析：此題為詞義題。定位到第二段第二句They suggest beauty should not be defined by looks that end up impinging on health. 根據(jù)end up 可以看出beauty should not be defined by looks 和that end up impinging on health為順承關(guān)系，所以“改變?nèi)藗儗?duì)美不僅僅是外表的定義”可以結(jié)束對(duì)健康的危害。故而可以推知doing harm to是正確答案。

　　23.答案 B New Standards are being set in Denmark

　　解析：此題是正誤判斷題。根據(jù)第五段第二句話 In Denmark,…it is trying to set voluntary standards for models and fashion…可知B選項(xiàng) New standards are being set in Denmark是其同義替換。

　　24.答案 C showing little concern for health factors

　　解析：細(xì)節(jié)題。一個(gè)設(shè)計(jì)師很可能因?yàn)槭裁丛虮籆FW拒絕，根據(jù)關(guān)鍵詞可回到文中定位至倒數(shù)第二段，首句說丹麥的時(shí)尚界就有關(guān)模特的年齡，健康及其他特性的內(nèi)容達(dá)成一致意見，切一項(xiàng)新法案也明確規(guī)定，他們已經(jīng)意識(shí)到時(shí)尚界對(duì)于人們尤其是年輕人的身體健康所帶來的影響，并且該對(duì)此負(fù)責(zé)，接著下一句就說，這一法規(guī)的執(zhí)行方式就是拒絕一些設(shè)計(jì)師，因?yàn)榭梢酝茢嘣O(shè)計(jì)師很可能因?yàn)椴豢紤]身體健康因素而被CFW拒絕。

　　25.答案 D A challenge to the Fashion Industry’s Body Ideals

　　解析：主旨題。本文從首段就開始闡述法國的觀點(diǎn)，即時(shí)尚界已經(jīng)失去了定義女性身體之美的權(quán)利，且議會(huì)也禁止網(wǎng)站通過宣傳過度節(jié)食來強(qiáng)調(diào)過度消瘦。二段繼續(xù)說明美麗不能只看外表更不能以犧牲健康為代價(jià)。三段說女性不該讓他人來評(píng)判自己的美麗。以及后面的段落中也一直在不斷說明一點(diǎn)，即健康很重要，不能只看外表。所以文章最佳標(biāo)題應(yīng)該是D，對(duì)時(shí)尚界完美身材的質(zhì)疑。
