51. What do we learn about beauty in the digital arena?
- A. It dictates the taste of digital media.
- B. It has been in the making for years.
- C. It has ushered in a new awakening.
- D. It is defined by social media.
答案:D
答案句:But in the digital arena, social media determines what is considered beautiful.
参考译文:但在数字领域,社交媒体决定了什么是美的。
定位线索:题干“digital arena”→答案句“in the digital arena”;文中“social media determines”对应选项D“defined by social media”。
解析:题干问数字领域中美的情况,答案句直接指出社交媒体决定了什么是美,与选项D“由社交媒体定义”同义。选项A“它决定了数字媒体的品味”因果颠倒,选项B“它已经形成多年”无中生有,选项C“它带来了新的觉醒”与原文第一句的觉醒发生在物理世界不符。
52. What does the passage say about beauty in the physical world?
- A. Women are under constant pressure to keep up with beauty models.
- B. Women are encouraged to pursue a beauty ideal that has never existed.
- C. A fight is going on to remove pressure on women to conform to an absurd beauty ideal.
- D. Media outlets have begun to present as beauty models trendy women without any makeup.
答案:B
答案句:In the physical world, the struggle goes against the underlying pressure exerted on women to conform to an unrealistic beauty ideal.
参考译文:在物理世界,这场斗争反对施加在女性身上、要求她们遵从一种不切实际的美貌理想的内在压力。
定位线索:题干“physical world”→答案句“In the physical world”;文中“unrealistic beauty ideal”对应选项B“a beauty ideal that has never existed”。
解析:答案句说明物理世界的斗争反对的是要求女性遵从“不切实际的美貌理想”的压力,即这种理想从未存在过,对应选项B。选项A“女性承受持续压力”是斗争的对象而非内容,选项C“消除压力”偷换概念(原文是反对压力而非消除),选项D“媒体展示无妆女性”是斗争的具体表现而非主旨。
