4、WER SHEET.（40 points）Text 1France,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

5、 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. Thats a start. And the ban on ultra-thin models s

6、eems to go beyond protecting models from starving themselves to deathas 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

7、 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 Frenc

8、h measures, however, rely too much on severe punishment to change a culture that still regards beauty as skin-deepand 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 indu

9、stry 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 Frances act

10、ions, Denmarks 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, e

11、specially on young people.” The charters main tool of enforcement is to deny access for 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 tha

12、n 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.According to the first paragraph, what would happen in France?A Physical beauty would be redefined.B New runways would be

13、constructed.C Websites about dieting would thrive.D The fashion industry would decline.22.The phrase “impinging on” （Line 2,Para 2） is closest in meaning toA 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

14、?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.24. A designer is most likely to be rejected by CFW forA setting a high age threshold for models.B caring too much about models char

15、acter.C showing little concern for health factors.D pursuing perfect physical conditions.25.Which of the following may be the best title of the text?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

16、the Fashion Industrys Body Ideals.Text 2For the first time 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 t

17、hem proudest of their country, this has limited political support.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

18、 experience “a refreshing air.” Hills pressure later led to 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 next election none of the big parties seem likely to endorse this sentim

19、ent. The Conservatives planning reform explicitly gives rural 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

20、 councils oppose development. The Liberal Democrats are silent. 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 hou

21、ses, factories and offices is where people are, in cities 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 pro

22、vinces.The idea that “housing crisis” equals “concreted 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 a

23、gainst high streets. This is not a free market but a biased 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, no

24、t let rip. After the Netherlands, Britain is Europes most 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 Portu

25、gal, Spain or Ireland. Avoiding this rather than promoting it should unite the left and right of the political spectrum.26.Britains public sentiment about the countrysideA 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

26、 reflected in politics.27.According to Paragraph 2, the achievements of the National Trust are now beA gradually destroyed.B effectively reinforced.C largely overshadowed.D properly protected.28.Which of the following can be inferred from Paragraph 3?A Labour is under attack for opposing development.B The Conservatives may abandon “off-plan” building.C The Liberal Democrats are losing political influence.D Ukip may gain from
