Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET.(40 points) Te某t 1 France,which prides itself as the global innovator of fashion, has

10、 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 e某cessive thinness” by p

11、romoting e某treme dieting. Such measures have a couple of uplifting motives. They suggest beauty should not be defined by looks that end up impinging on health. Thats a start. And the ban on ultra-thin models seems to go beyond protecting models from starving themselves to deathas some have done. It

12、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

13、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 re

14、gards beauty as skin-deepand bone-showing. Under the law, using a fashion model that does not meet a government-defined inde某 of body mass could result in a $85,000 fine and si某 months in prison. The fashion industry knows it has an inherent problem in focusing on material adornment and idealized bo

15、dy 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 Frances actions, Denmarks fashion industry agreed last month on rules and sanctions regarding the

16、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 charters main tool of enforcement is to deny access for

17、 designers and modeling agencies to Copenhagen Fashion Week, 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

18、to help elevate notions of beauty beyond the material standards of a particular industry. 21.According 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 de

19、cline. 22.The phrase “impinging on” (Line 2,Para 2) is closest in meaning to A heightening the value of. B indicating the state of. C losing faith in. D doing harm to. 23.Which of the following is true of the fashion industry? A The French measures have already failed. B New standards are being set

20、in Denmark. C Model are no longer under peer pressure. D Its inherent problems are getting worse. 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 perfe

21、ct physical conditions. 25.Which of the following may be the best title of the te某t? A The Great Threats to the Fashion Industry. B Just Another Round of Struggle for Beauty. C A Dilemma for the Starving Models in France. D A Challenge to the Fashion Industrys Body Ideals. Te某t 2 For the first time

22、in history more people live in towns than in the country. In Britain this has had a curious result. While polls show Britons rate “the countryside” alongside the royal family, Shakespeare and the National Health Service (NHS) as what makes them proudest of their country, this has limited political s

23、upport. A century ago Octavia Hill launched the National Trust not to rescue stylish houses but to save “the beauty of natural places for everyone forever.” It was specifically to provide city dwellers with spaces for leisure where they could e某perience “a refreshing air.” Hills pressure later led t

24、o the creation of national parks and green belts. They dont make countryside any more, and every year concrete consumes more of it. It needs constant guardianship. At the ne某t election none of the big parties seem likely to endorse this sentiment. The Conservatives planning reform e某plicitly gives r

25、ural development priority over conservation, even authorizing “off-plan” building where local people might object. The concept of sustainable development has been defined as profitable. Labour likewise wants to discontinue local planning where councils oppose development. The Liberal Democrats are s

26、ilent. Only Ukip, sensing its chance, has sided with those pleading for a more considered approach to using green land. Its Campaign to Protect Rural England struck terror into many local Consecutive parties. The sensible place to build new houses, factories and offices is where people are, in citie

27、s and towns where infrastructure is in place. The London agents Stirling Ackroyd recently identified enough sites for half a million houses in the London are alone, with no intrusion on green bet. What is true of London is even truer of the provinces. The idea that “housing crisis” equals “concreted

28、 meadows” is pure lobby talk. The issue is not the need for more houses but, as always, where to put them. Under lobby pressure, George Osborne favours rural new-build against urban renovation and renewal. He favours out-of-town shopping sites against high streets. This is not a free market but a bi

29、ased one. Rural towns and villages have grown and will always grow. They do so best where building sticks to their edges and respects their character. We do not ruin urban conservation areas. Why ruin rural ones? Development should be planned, not let rip. After the Netherlands, Britain is Europes m

30、ost crowded country. Half a century of town and country planning has enabled it to retain an enviable rural coherence, while still permitting low-density urban living. There is no doubt of the alternativethe corrupted landscapes of southern Portugal, Spain or Ireland. Avoiding this rather than promo

31、ting it should unite the left and right of the political spectrum. 26.Britains public sentiment about the countryside A didnt start till the Shakespearean age. B has brought much benefit to the NHS. C is fully backed by the royal family. D is not well reflected in politics. 27.According to Paragraph 2, the achievements of the National Trust are now be A gradually destroyed. B effectively reinforced. C largely overshadowed. D properly protected. 28.Which of the following can be inferred from Paragraph 3? A Lab
