Question

Teenagers are under a lot of pressure to be thin. They resort to starving, vomiting and eating only diet foods to try and be thin. Television is a big influence on them. They watch shows like Beverly Hills 90210 and Melrose Place and feel they need to look as thin as the actresses on these shows. Society is brainwashing young people into believing that being thin is important and necessary.
Diet commercials are constantly appearing on our television screens telling us that once we lose weight, we will be happy. While you’re standing at the grocery store you are surrounded by magazines claiming to have the newest and best diet. Each month another new diet appears claiming to be the diet to end all diets. If diets really worked, then why are there so many of them? The reason a new diet pops up each month, is that last’s month’s diets did not work. The truth of the matter is that DIETS DON’T WORK.
The diet and fashion industries are not totally to blame for society’s obsession with thinness. We are the ones keeping them in business. We buy into the idea that we can attain the “ideal” body image. We allow ourselves to believe the lies being thrown at us constantly. We are throwing away our hard earned money trying to live up to the standards that society has set for us. It’s unfortunate, but in today’s society, people have forgotten that it’s what’s inside a person that counts, not what’s on the outside. We need to start loving and accepting each other for who we are, not what we look like.
Once again, I would like to stress the fact that diets don’t work. Eating three healthy meals a day, a few snacks and doing moderate exercise, will allow your body to go to its natural set point. Next time you decide that you are going to start another diet because you feel you are too fat, stop, sign up for a self-esteem class instead. That would be money well spent

試題分析：本文介紹了現(xiàn)在的減肥節(jié)食產(chǎn)品層出不窮，實際上所有的這樣的產(chǎn)品都是無用的。真正美麗的不是外在的東西，而是人的內(nèi)在美。
1.C 細節(jié)題。根據(jù)第一段3,4行They watch shows like Beverly Hills 90210 and Melrose Place and feel they need to look as thin as the actresses on these shows.說明這是一種電視節(jié)目，故C正確。
2.B 推理題。根據(jù)第二段最后3行If diets really worked, then why are there so many of them? The reason a new diet pops up each month, is that last’s month’s diets did not work. The truth of the matter is that DIETS DON’T WORK.可知并不是新的產(chǎn)品比舊的有效。如果這些新的產(chǎn)品有效，就不會有后面的更新的產(chǎn)品出現(xiàn)了。故B項說法是錯誤的。
3.C 細節(jié)題。根據(jù)第二段中最后2行The reason a new diet pops up each month, is that last’s month’s diets did not work. The truth of the matter is that DIETS DON’T WORK.說明這些產(chǎn)品實際上都沒有作用。故C項正確。
4.D 推斷題。根據(jù)第三段中最后3行in today’s society, people have forgotten that it’s what’s inside a person that counts, not what’s on the outside. We need to start loving and accepting each other for who we are, not what we look like.可知最重要的不是外在的東西，而是人們的內(nèi)在美。故D項正確。
5.B 推理題。根據(jù)文章最后一段第一句Once again, I would like to stress the fact that diets don’t work.說明本段是起一個歸納總結(jié)的作用，最后再次說明這些節(jié)食的產(chǎn)品都是無用的。故B正確。
考點：考查社會現(xiàn)象類短文閱讀
點評：本文介紹了現(xiàn)在的減肥節(jié)食產(chǎn)品層出不窮，實際上所有的這樣的產(chǎn)品都是無用的。真正美麗的不是外在的東西，而是人的內(nèi)在美。本文要求考生在閱讀理解整體語篇的基礎(chǔ)上，把握文章的真正內(nèi)涵。要吃透文章的字面意思，從字里行間捕捉有用的提示和線索，這是推理的前提和基礎(chǔ);要對文字的表面信息進行挖掘加工，由表入里，由淺入深，從具體到抽象，從非凡到一般，通過分析、綜合、判定等，進行深層處理，符合邏輯地推理。不能就是論事，斷章取義，以偏概全。要忠實于原文，以文章提供的事實和線索為依據(jù)。
