Images of female bodies are everywhere. Womenand their bodyparts-sell everything from food to cars.Popular film and television actressesare becoming younger, taller and thinner. Some have even been known tofaint onthe set from lack of food. Womens magazines are full &articles urging thatif they can just lose thoselast twentypounds, theyll have it allthe perfect marriage, loving children, great sex,and a rewarding careerB. Why arc standards of beauty being imposed on women, the majorityofwhom are naturally larger and moremature than any of the models? The roots,some analysts say, are economic. By presenting an ideal difficult toachieve andmaintain, the cosmetic and diet product industries arc assured of growth andprofits. And its noaccident that youth is increasingly promoted, along withthinness, as an essential criterion of beauty. If not allwomen need to loseweight, for sure theyre all aging, says the Quebec Action Network for WomensHealth inits 2001 report. And, according to the industry, age is a disasterthat needs to be dealt with.C. The stakes are huge. On the one hand, women who are insecure about their bodies arc more likely tobuybeauty products, new clothes, and diet aids. It is estimated that the dietindustry alone is worth anywherebetween 40 to 100 billion (U.S. a year selling temporary weight loss (90% to 95% of dieters regainthe lostweight. On the other hand, research indicatesthat exposure to images of thin, young, air-brushed femalebodies is linked todepression, loss of self-esteem and the development of unhealthy eating habitsin womenand girls.D. The American research group Anorexia Nervosa & Related EatingDisorders, Inc. says that one out of everyfour college-aged women usesunhealthy methods of weight control-including fasting, skippingmeals,excessive exercise, laxative (泻药. abuse, andself-induced vomiting. The pressure to be thin is also affectingyoung girls:the Canadian Womens Health Network warns that weight control measures are nowbeing takenby girls as young as 5 and 6. American statistics are similar.Several studies, such as one conducted by MarikaTiggemann and Levina Clark in2006 titled Appearance Culture in 9- to 12-Year-Old Girls: Media andPeerInfluences on Body Dissatisfaction, indicate that nearly half of allpreadolescent girls wish to be thinner, andas a result have engaged in a dietor are aware of the concept of dieting. In 2003, Teen magazine reported that35percent of girls 6 to 12 years old have been on at least one diet, and that 50to 70 percent of normal weightgirls believe they are overweight. Overallresearch indicates that 90% of women are dissatisfied with theirappearance insome way. Media activist Jean Kilbourne concludes that, Women are sold tothe diet industryby the magazines we read and the television programs we watch,almost all of which make us feel anxiousabout our weight.E. Perhaps the most disturbing is the fact that media images of femalebeauty are unattainable for all but a verysmall number of women. Researchersgenerating a computer model of a woman with Barbie-doll proportions,forexample, found that her back would be too weak to support the weight of herupper body, and her bodywould be too narrow to contain more than halfa liverand a few centimeters of bowel. A real woman built thatway would suffer fromchronic diarrhea ( 慢性腹泻. and eventually die frommalnutrition. Jill Barad,President of Mattel (which manufactures Barbie., estimated that 99% of girls aged 3 to 10 years old own atleast oneBarbie doll. Still, the number of real life women and girls who seek asimilarly underweight body isepidemic, and they can suffer equally devastatinghealth consequences. In 2006 it was estimated that up to450,000 Canadian womenwere affected by an eating disorder.F. Researchers report thatwomens magazines have ten and one-half times more ads and articlespromotingweight loss than mens magazines do, and over three-quarters of thecovers of womens magazines include atleast one message about how to change awomans bodily appearance-by diet, exercise or cosmetic surgery.Television andmovies reinforce the importance of a thin body as a measure of a womans worth.Canadianresearcher Gregory Fouts reports that over three-quarters of the femalecharacters in TV situation comedies areunderweight, and only one in twenty areabove average in size. Heavier actresses tend to receive negativecomments frommale characters about their bodies (How about wearing a sack? ., and 80 percent of thesenegative comments are followed by cannedaudience laughter.G. There have been efforts in the magazine industry to buck (抵制，反抗. the trend. For several years the Quebecmagazine Coup de Pouce hasconsistently included full-sized women in their fashion pages and Chatelainehaspledged not to touch up photos and not to include models less than 25 yearsof age. In Madrid, one of theworlds biggest fashion capitals, ultra-thinmodels were banned from the runway in 2006. Furthermore Spainhas recentlyundergone a project with the aim to standardize clothing sizes through using aunique process inwhich a laser beam is used to measure real life womens bodiesin order to find the most tree to lifemeasurement.H. Another issue is the representation of ethnically diverse women inthe media. A 2008 study conducted byJuanita Covert and Travis Dixon titledA Changing View: Representation and Effects of the Portrayal ofWomen ofColor in Mainstream Womens Magazines found that although there was anincrease in therepresentation of women of c01our, overall white women wereoverrepresented in mainstream womensmagazines from 1999 to 2004.I. The barrage of messagesabout thinness, dieting and beauty tells ordinary women that theyare always inneed of adjustment-and that the female body is an object to beperfected. Jean Kilboume argues that theoverwhelming presence of media imagesof painfully thin women means that real womens bodies have become invisible in the mass media。 The real tragedy, Kilbourne concludes, is that many womeninternalizethese stereotypes, and judge themselves by the beauty industrysstandards. Women learn to comparethemselves to other women, and to compete withthem for male attention: This focus on beauty and desirabilityeffectivelydestroys any awareness and action that might help to change that climate.根据以上内容，回答46-56题.A report in Teen magazineshowed that 50% to 70% girls with normal weight think that they need to lose weight.47、On the whole, for 6 yearswhite women had been occupying much more space in mainstream womens magazines since 1999.48、Some negative effects suchas depression and unhealthy eating habits in females are related to their being exposed to images of thin and young femalebodies.49、The mass media has helpedboost the cosmetic and the diet industries.50、It is reported that thereis at least one message about the methods for women to change their bodilyappearance on more than three-quarters of the coversof womens magazines.51、Some film and televisionactresses even faint on the scene due to eating too little.52、Too much concern withappearance makes it impossible to change such abnormal trend.53、Researchers found that areal woman with Barbie-doll proportions would eventually die from malnutrition.54、The Quebec magazine Coup dePouce resists the trend by consistently including full-sized women in their fashion pages for several years.55、According to some analysts,the fundamental reason of imposing standards of beauty on women is economicSection C56、Questions 56-61are based onthe following passage.Is it possible to persuade mankind to livewithout war? War is an ancient institution which has existed for atleast sixthousand years. It was always bad and usually foolish, but in the past thehuman race managed to live withit. Modern ingenuity (创造力. has changed this. Either Man will abolishwar, or war will abolish Man. For thepresent, it is nuclear weapons that causethe most serious danger, but bacteriological or chemical weapons, maybeforelong, offer an even greater threat. If we succeed in abolishing nuclearweapons, our work will not be done. Itwill never be done until we havesucceeded in abolishing war. To do this, we need to persuade mankind tolookupon international questions in a new way, not as contests of forec, inwhich the victory goes to the side which ismost skillful in killing people, butby arbitration (调解. in accordance with agreedprinciples of law. It is not easyto change very old mental habits, but this iswhat must be attempted.There are those who say that the adoptionoft_his or that ideology would prevent war. I believe this to be a bigerror.All ideologies are based on dogmatic ( 教条式的. statements which are, at best, doubtful, and at worst,totallyfalse. Their adherents believe in them fanatically (狂热地. that they are willing to go to war in support ofthem.Themovement of world opinion during the past few years has been very largely suchas we can welcome. Ithas become a commonplace ( 老生长谈. that nuclear war must be avoided. Of course very difficultproblemsremain in the world, but the spirit in which they are being approachedis a better one than it was some years ago. Ithas begun to be thought, even bythe powerful men who decide whether we shall live or die, that negotiations should reach agreements even if both sides donot find these agreements wholly satisfactory. It has begun to beunderstoodthat the important conflict nowadays is not between different countries, butbetween Man and the atombomb.This passage implies thatwar now is _A.worse than in the pastB.as badas in the pastC.not so dangerous as in the pastD.as necessary as in the past57、In the sentence To dothis, we need to persuade mankind. (Line 6, Para.1 ), this refers to _A.solving international problemsB.improving weaponsC.abolishing warD.living a peaceful life58、From Pa
