Israel has passed a law banning the use of underweight models in advertising. Known as the “Photoshop Law”, it also requires that agencies tell their audience if they’ve digitally changed pictures to make models look thinner.

The new law forbids the use of models with a body mass index of 18.5 or less, a standard based on internationally accepted measures. The figure matches the set of fixed limits by the U. S. Department of Health.

The law doesn’t set a money amount that can be gained in court from such a suit. Lawmakers realize that it may be a long and difficult process to prove in court that a company broke the new law, but they feel that simply having the law in place will accomplish what they want; stopping advertising companies from continuing to influence Israelis with images of unhealthy-looking models as the gold standard of beauty.

Some modeling agencies in Israel aren’t happy. They say that the indexes on which the law is based are arbitrary (任意的)and are not suitable for every model. Many models who are totally healthy girls might be disqualified because of the law. Some models are naturally thin and unable to gain weight and the new law would unfairly prevent them from finding jobs.

However, plus-size American supermodel Emme told CNN that she thinks the law will cause other countries to make similar measures against showing underweight models. “I think this is fantastic because so many young women and men are suffering to look in a way that is unrealistic and unhealthy,” she said.

1.What is “Photoshop Law” about?

A. Banning the use of underweight models.

B. Banning underweight models in advertising.

C. Banning changing pictures digitally.

D. Banning models in advertising.

2.The underlined word “suit” in Paragraph 3 means           .

A . a set of clothing

B. a group of rooms

C. an action in court

D. a performance in advertising

3.What can we know from the passage?

A. All models are happy about the law.

B. All advertising agencies are happy about the law.

C. The law makes no sense.

D. There are arguments over the beauty standard of models.

1.B

2.C

3.D

【解析】

試題分析：本文報道了以色列通過的一個法律，禁止公司使用體重太輕的模特。文章中還描述了人們對這個法律的不同的反應。

1.B 細節(jié)題。根據(jù)文章第一段第一句Israel has passed a law banning the use of underweight models in advertising. Known as the “Photoshop Law”可知這個法案禁止體重太輕的模特出現(xiàn)在廣告里影響以色列。故B正確。

2.C 推理題。根據(jù)本句The law doesn’t set a money amount that can be gained in court from such a suit.可知這部法律并沒有設定如果違背了這個法律要被罰款的數(shù)額。說明這里的suit表示的是違法行為，也就是C項。

3.D 推理題。在文章倒數(shù)第二段里有一些公司對這個法律持懷疑的態(tài)度，認為這對那些天生就瘦的模特是不公平的。在文章最后一段里也有一些人對于這個法律持支持的態(tài)度。說明對于模特的標準有著爭論。故D正確。
