Rome, Paris and New Yor are the world's top fashion cities, all of which have produced some of the top trends, from fashionable sirts to the hottest new shoes. But have you ever wondered about the negative ideas that they have enforced?

In April 2016, the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) in Britain banned an ad from

Gucci that featured models dancing around and having fun, because thay were all etremely sinny. Banning ads due to the models' etreme figures isn't new. The ASA banned an ad in 2015 for the same reason. In France, it has been ruled that models are to provide a doctor's note providing that they are at a healthy weight.

So what is the healthy weight for models? Twenty years ago, the average fashion model weighed 8% less than the average woman. Today, they weigh 23 less.

People may thin that being at an unhealthy weight will help them gain the benefits that the models do. This provides a standard of beauty, and therefore people who want to achieve those things may attempt to obtain them through unhealthy ways. People may thin that they are overweight, due to the images of models' thin figures. They see something wrong with their bodies，whether they are overweight or not. This is a ey factor in a lowered body image, low self-es-teem, depression and possibly even eating disorders. Im not blaming the fashion industry by any means It's not their fault that many people loo up to the models and epect to live a life lie theirs. I am glad that the ASA is raising its voices when discussing the growing issue of body images in the fashion industry. By banning photos and videos, speaing out against them and pushing for doctor's notes from the models, it's pushing for the ideas that the traditional fashion industry's body image demands should be changed and something more needs to be questioned. 31.According to the tet, why was one of Gucci's ads banned? A. Because the models didn t act according to the rule B. Because its models are much too thin.

C. Because none of its models had a doctor's note

D. Because its models were dancing in an unhealthy way

32. We can infer from the numbers mentioned in Paragraph 3 that________ A. models are becoming thinner with time going by B. many women are on a diet to become models C. people dont now why models weigh less

D. the healthy weight for models hasn't been decided 33. What does the fourth paragraph mainly show? A. The changes in the standard of beauty B. The benefits of becoming thin figures.

C. people's attitudes towards models' images D, The negative effects of models' images

34.The possible purpose of the ASA's measures 15 to__________ A. change the future models are faced with B. criticie the traditional standards for models C. set up new standards of models' body images D encourage more people to livc a life lie models 35. What is the author's tone of writing this passage?

A Critical. B Humorous. C. Hopeful. D. Objective 第二节(共5小题每小题2分,满分10分)
