【題目】Israel has passed a law banning the use of underweight models in advertising. Known as the “Photoshop Law”, it also requires that agencies tell their audience if they’ve digitally changed pictures to make models look thinner.
The new law forbids the use of models with a body mass index of 18.5 or less, a standard based on internationally accepted measures. The figure matches the set of fixed limits by the U. S. Department of Health.
The law doesn’t set a money amount that can be gained in court from such a suit. Lawmakers realize that it may be a long and difficult process to prove in court that a company broke the new law, but they feel that simply having the law in place will accomplish what they want; stopping advertising companies from continuing to influence Israelis with images of unhealthy-looking models as the gold standard of beauty.
Some modeling agencies in Israel aren’t happy. They say that the indexes on which the law is based are arbitrary (任意的)and are not suitable for every model. Many models who are totally healthy girls might be disqualified because of the law. Some models are naturally thin and unable to gain weight and the new law would unfairly prevent them from finding jobs.
However, plus-size American supermodel Emme told CNN that she thinks the law will cause other countries to make similar measures against showing underweight models. “I think this is fantastic because so many young women and men are suffering to look in a way that is unrealistic and unhealthy,” she said.
【1】What is “Photoshop Law” about?
A. Banning the use of underweight models.
B. Banning underweight models in advertising.
C. Banning changing pictures digitally.
D. Banning models in advertising.
【2】The underlined word “suit” in Paragraph 3 means .
A. a set of clothing
B. a group of rooms
C. an action in court
D. a performance in advertising
【3】What can we know from the passage?
A. All models are happy about the law.
B. All advertising agencies are happy about the law.
C. The law makes no sense.
D. There are arguments over the beauty standard of models.
【答案】
【1】B
【2】C
【3】D
【解析】試題分析:本文報道了以色列通過的一個法律,禁止公司使用體重太輕的模特。文章中還描述了人們對這個法律的不同的反應。
【1】B 細節題。根據文章第一段第一句Israel has passed a law banning the use of underweight models in advertising. Known as the “Photoshop Law”可知這個法案禁止體重太輕的模特出現在廣告里影響以色列。故B正確。
【2】C 推理題。根據本句The law doesn’t set a money amount that can be gained in court from such a suit.可知這部法律并沒有設定如果違背了這個法律要被罰款的數額。說明這里的suit表示的是違法行為,也就是C項。
【3】D 推理題。在文章倒數第二段里有一些公司對這個法律持懷疑的態度,認為這對那些天生就瘦的模特是不公平的。在文章最后一段里也有一些人對于這個法律持支持的態度。說明對于模特的標準有著爭論。故D正確。

【題目】A young, dark haired woman appeared in the doorway.
“Good morning, children! My name is Mrs. Murray. I am replacing your regular teacher,” she said, as she wrote her name on the blackboard. “I will enjoy getting to know each of you personally, over the next few months.”
The children in the class remained silent, as this was totally unexpected.
“Come on, someone say something,” she thought nervously. The children were too quiet.
“This probably won’t last long,” she thought, smiling kindly at them. Grade Three students were normally very lively and seldom, if ever silent. “If you have problems, please come to me. I will help you.”
The children gradually began to relax, but not one of them spoke.
“How can I get them to accept me?” she wondered. Suddenly, she had an idea.
“Your first homework will be to write a new song. To make it even more exciting, challenging and fun for everyone, it must be a new love song for Valentine’s Day. The winner will be awarded a prize, at our class party.”
The children looked amazed, but pleased.
“You may sing your new song, or play it with a musical instrument.”
As if something had suddenly awakened the children, the silence in the room ended suddenly.
“A love song?” a boy asked, smiling sweetly, at his new teacher.
“We each have to write one,” said a dark haired girl, “We never had to do that before.”
“And perform it too!” a red haired boy responded, laughing aloud. “I love it! Me, sing a love song?”
“Want to know what the first prize will be?”
Immediately, every hand in the room went up.
Mrs. Murray reached into her handbag and pulled out a harmonica(口琴).
“What do you think of this?” She waited.
“I am also a music teacher, so I will be able to help you write your new love songs.” added Mrs. Murray, smiling at her new students. Obviously, her smile and intelligent idea about the homework impressed every student in the class.
【1】The children remained silent at the beginning because __________.
A. they missed their former teacher
B. they didn’t accept the new-comer
C. they were surprised at the situation
D. they were waiting for their homework.
【2】We can learn from the passage that __________.
A. most children in the class were good at performing music
B. it was the prize that made the students accept their new teacher
C. children in the class liked to write their own love songs
D. the students in this class are not as active as other Grade Three students

【題目】(題文)Make Up Your Mind to Succeed
Kind-hearted parents have unknowingly left their children defenseless against failure. The generation born between 1980 and 2001 grew up playing sports where scores and performance were played down because “everyone’s winner.” And their report cards sounded more positive (正面的) than ever before. As a result, Stanford University professor Carol Dweck, PhD, calls them “the overpraised generation.”
Dweck has been studying how people deal with failure for 40 years. Her research has led her to find out two clearly different mind-sets that have a great effect on how we react to it. Here’s how they work:
A fixed mind-set is grounded in the belief that talent (才能) is genetic – you’re a born artist, point guard, or numbers person. The fixed mind-set believes it’s sure to succeed without much effort and regards failure as personal shame. When things get difficult, it’s quick to blame, lie, and even stay away from future difficulties.
On the other hand, a growth mind-set believes that no talent is entirely heaven-sent and that effort and learning make everything possible. Because the ego (自尊) isn’t on the line as much, the growth mind-set sees failure as a chance rather than shame. When faced with a difficulty, it’s quick to rethink, change and try again. In fact, it enjoys this experience.
We are all born with growth mind-sets. (Otherwise, we wouldn’t be able to live in the world.) But parents, teachers, and instructors often push us into fixed mind-sets by encouraging certain actions and misdirecting praise. Dweck’s book, Mind-set: The New Psychology of Success, and online instructional program explain this in depth. But she says there are many little things you can start doing today to make sure that your children, grandchildren and even you are never defeated by failure.
【1】(小題1)What does the author think about the present generation?
A. They don’t do well at school. B. They are often misunderstood.
C. They are eager to win in sports. D. They are given too much praise.
【2】(小題2)A fixed mind-set person is probably one who ________.
A. doesn’t want to work hard B. cares a lot about personal safety
C. cannot share his ideas with others D. can succeed with the help of teachers
【3】(小題3)What does the growth mind-set believe?
A. Admitting failure is shameful. B. Talent comes with one’s birth.
C. Scores should be highly valued. D. Getting over difficulties is enjoyable.
【4】(小題4)What should parents do for their children based on Dweck’s study?
A. Encourage them to learn from failures. B. Prevent them from making mistakes.
C. Guide them in doing little things. D. Help them grow with praise.

【題目】How to Introduce Yourself Before Giving a Speech
Greet the audience and state your name. If you’re giving a speech, it’s important to state your first and last name. 【1】
【2】 Don’t state down or at some aimless point in the corner of the room. If you don’t like the thought of looking into that many eyes, look at their eyebrows or noses—they won’t be able to tell the difference.
Share some relevant(相關的)information about yourself. After you provide your name, share why you and the speech are relevant, making sure you provide something believable. 【3】 If you’re giving a speech about the importance of eating organic foods, tell people that you’re a scientist, chef, or environmental professional. If you’re giving a speech about child development, be sure to include that you are a child psychologist.
Communicate effectively. From the very start, make sure your voice is loud enough for everyone to hear you. You can even ask the audience if you are speaking loudly enough for all to hear. 【4】
Move your body. 【5】 Stand up tall, move your shoulders back, and keep your hands free, using them to gesture when necessary. You can walk around to show the crowd how comfortable you are and to make yourself look less stiff.
A. Make eye contact with a few people.
B. Focus just on what you are going to talk about.
C. Stand with good posture(姿勢), and move freely while you speak.
D. As you say hello and give your name, remember to speak clearly and confidently.
E. It depends on the context of the conversation, but start off by telling something about yourself.
F. People will not be able to understand you or respect what you are sharing if they cannot hear you.
