10、.That s a start. And the ban on ultra-thin models seems to go beyondprotecting models from starving themselves to death-as some havedone. It tells the fashion industry that it must take responsibility for thesignal it sends women, especially teenage girls, about the socialtape-measure they must use

11、to determ ine their in dividual worth.The ban s, if fully en forced,would suggest to wome n (and many men)that they should not let others be arbiters of their beauty. And perhapsfaintly,they hint that people should look to intangible qualities like character and intellect rather than dieting their w

12、ay to size zero orwasp-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 $85,0

13、00 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 pr

14、essure 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 t

15、heimpact 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 me

16、thod 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. According to the first paragraph, what would happen in France?

17、A New runways would be constructed.B Physical beauty would be redefined.C Websites about dieting would thrive.D The fashion industry would decline.22. The phrase “ impinging on ” (Line2, Para.2) is closest in meaning toA heightening the value of.B indicating the state of.C losing faith in.D doing ha

Which of the following is true of the fashion industry?A New standards are being set in Denmark.B The French measures have already failed.C Models are no longer under peer pressure.D Its inherent problems are getting worse.24.

Which of the following may be the best title of the text?A A Challenge to the Fashion Industry s Body IdealsB A Dilemma for the Starving Model

20、s in FranceC Just Another Round of Struggle for BeautyD The Great Threats to the Fashion IndustryText 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, S

21、hakespeare and the National Health Service (NHS) as what makes them 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

22、to provide city dwellers with spaces for leisure where they could experience “a refreshing air. ” Hill s pressureslater led to the creation of national parks and green belts. They don tmake countryside any more, and every year concrete consumes more of it. It needs constant guardianship.At the next

23、election none of the big parties seem likely to endorse this sentiment. 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

24、profitable. Labour likewise wants to discontinue local planning where 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 int

25、o many local Conservative parties.The sensible place to build new houses, factories and offices is where people are, in cities and towns where infrastructure is in place. The London agents StirlingAckroyd recently identified enough sites for half a million houses in the London area alone, with no in

26、trusion on green belt. What is true of London is even truer of the provinces.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 agai

27、nst urban renovation and renewal. He favours out-of-town shopping sites against 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

28、conservation areas. Why ruin rural ones?Development should be planned, not let rip. After the Netherlands, Britain is Europe s 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. Ther

29、e is no doubt of the alternative the corrupted landscapes of southern Portugal, Spain or Ireland. Avoiding this rather than promoting it should unite the left and right of the political spectrum.26. Britain s public sentiment about the countryside A didn tstart till the Shakespearean age.B has broug

30、ht 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 being A gradually destroyed.B effectively reinforced.C largely overshadowed.D properly protected.28. Which of the followin

31、g 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 its support for rural conservation.29. The author holds that George Osborne s preference A highlights his firm stand against lobby pressure.B shows his disregard for the cha
