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 decline.
答案：A
答案句：France, 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 on runways.
参考译文：法国，以全球时尚创新者自居，已认定其时尚产业失去了定义女性身体美的绝对权利。其立法者上周初步批准了一项法律，将使在T台上雇佣超瘦模特成为犯罪。
定位线索：题干“According to the first paragraph”定位第一段；文中“has decided its fashion industry has lost an absolute right to define physical beauty for women”对应选项A“Physical beauty would be redefined”；文中“define physical beauty”对应选项“redefined”。
解析：题干问第一段中法国会发生什么。答案句直接说明法国决定时尚产业失去定义女性身体美的权利，即身体美将被重新定义，对应A。B“建造新T台”无中生有；C“关于节食的网站会繁荣”与原文“ban websites”相反；D“时尚产业将衰退”过度推断，原文只说失去定义权，未说产业衰退。
22. The phrase “impinging on” (Line 2, Para. 2) is closest in meaning to
- A. indicating the state of.
- B. heightening the value of.
- C. losing faith in.
- D. doing harm to.
答案：D
答案句：Such measures have a couple of uplifting motives. They suggest beauty should not be defined by looks that end up impinging on health. That’s a start.
参考译文：这些措施有几个令人振奋的动机。它们表明，美不应由最终损害健康的容貌来定义。这是一个开始。
定位线索：题干“impinging on”定位第二段；文中“beauty should not be defined by looks that end up impinging on health”中“impinging on”对应选项D“doing harm to”；上下文“not be defined by looks”暗示负面含义。
解析：词义题需结合语境。答案句说美不应由“impinging on health”的容貌定义，既然不应由这种容貌定义美，说明该词含负面意义，即“损害”，对应D。A“表明状态”、B“提升价值”、C“失去信心”均不符合语境。
23. Which of the following is true of the fashion industry?
- A. The French measures have already failed.
- B. Its inherent problems are getting worse.
- C. Models are no longer under peer pressure.
- D. New standards are being set in Denmark.
答案：D
答案句：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 pressure for enforcement.
参考译文：时尚产业知道，专注于物质装饰和理想化体型存在固有问题。在丹麦、美国和其他几个国家，它正试图为模特和时尚形象设定自愿标准，这些标准更多依赖同行压力来执行。
定位线索：题干“fashion industry”定位第五段；文中“In Denmark...it is trying to set voluntary standards”对应选项D“New standards are being set in Denmark”；文中“voluntary standards”对应选项“new standards”。
解析：题干问关于时尚产业哪项为真。答案句明确说在丹麦等国正试图设定自愿标准，对应D。A“法国措施已失败”无中生有；B“固有问题恶化”原文只说“has an inherent problem”，未说恶化；C“模特不再受同行压力”与原文“rely more on peer pressure”相反。
24. A designer is most likely to be rejected by CFW for
- A. pursuing perfect physical conditions.
- B. caring too much about models’ character.
- C. showing little concern for health factors.
- D. setting a high age threshold for models.
答案：C
答案句：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 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.
参考译文：新修订的《丹麦时尚道德宪章》明确指出：“我们意识到并承担时尚产业对身体理想的影响，尤其是对年轻人的影响。”该宪章的主要执行工具是拒绝设计师和模特经纪公司进入由丹麦时尚协会主办的哥本哈根时装周（CFW）。
定位线索：题干“designer...rejected by CFW”定位第六段；文中“deny access for designers...to CFW”对应题干“rejected by CFW”；文中“take responsibility for the impact...on body ideals”暗示不关心健康因素会被拒，对应选项C“showing little concern for health factors”。
解析：题干问设计师最可能因何被CFW拒绝。答案句说明CFW执行宪章，宪章强调对健康影响负责，因此不关心健康因素的设计师会被拒，对应C。A“追求完美身体条件”是行业普遍现象，非拒绝原因；B“太关心模特性格”与宪章无关；D“设定高年龄门槛”原文未提。
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 the Fashion Industry’s Body Ideals
答案：D
答案句：France, 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. … The fashion industry knows it has an inherent problem in focusing on material adornment and idealized body types. … 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.
参考译文：法国，以全球时尚创新者自居，已认定其时尚产业失去了定义女性身体美的绝对权利。… 时尚产业知道，专注于物质装饰和理想化体型存在固有问题。… 依靠道德说服而非法律来解决身体理想的滥用可能是最佳步骤。更好的是帮助提升美的观念，超越特定行业的物质标准。
定位线索：题干“best title”需概括全文主旨；首段“lost an absolute right to define physical beauty”与末段“elevate notions of beauty beyond material standards”对应选项D“A Challenge to the Fashion Industry’s Body Ideals”；文中“body ideals”多次出现，对应选项“Body Ideals”。
解析：主旨题需综合各段。首段提出法国挑战时尚产业定义美的权利，中间讨论措施与行业反应，末段建议提升美的观念，全文围绕“时尚产业的身体理想面临挑战”展开，对应D。A“巨大威胁”程度过重；B“又一轮美的斗争”范围过宽；C“法国饥饿模特的困境”只涉及部分内容，以偏概全。
