只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 1 第三节 题组训 练 4 时文报道 A (2017·天津一中 4 月考) Rome，Paris and New York are the world’s top fashion cities，all of which have produced some of the top trends，from fashionable skirts 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 they were all extremely skinny.Banning ads due to the models’ extreme 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 proving 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 think that being at an unhealthy weight will help them gain the benefits that the models do.This provides a standard for beauty，and therefore people who want to achieve those things may attempt to obtain them through unhealthy ways.People may think 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 key factor in a lowered body image，low self-esteem，depression and possibly even eating disorders. I’m not blaming the fashion industry by any means.It’s not their fault that many people look up to the models and expect to live a life like theirs.I am glad 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 2 that ASA is raising its voices when discussing the growing issue of body images in the fashion industry.By banning the photos and videos，speaking out against them and pushing for doctors’ notes from the models，it’s pushing for the idea that the traditional fashion industry’s body image demands should be changed and something more needs to be questioned. 语篇解读 模特极瘦的形象带来了很多负面影响，英国广告标准局禁播了一条 Gucci 的时装 广告，希望由此能树立模特身体形象新标准。 1．One of Gucci’s ads was banned mainly because .

The U．S.research from the 1980s estimated a meal of 30 kilograms could make a one-ton shark continue living for more than six weeks. That made assumptions that large sharks could survive long periods without eating. However，a University of Tasmania-led study published this week in Scientific Reports found that 30kg was only enough for 12～15 days. Researchers tagged(给……附上标签) a dozen great white sharks at Neptune Islands 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 6 off South Australia and calculated their metabolic(新陈代谢的) rate based on swimming speeds.They worked out how much energy the sharks burned and how much food they required. “Their metabolic rate is faster than we assumed.” Jayson Semmens was the lead author on the study.He said，“They (U.S.researchers) picked a shark that probably wasn’t working very hard at the time when they did it.At the time it was a new study.They did some metabolic work similar to what we did but on one shark.” “The white sharks，which we tagged，are working pretty hard.They’re coming up to some pretty high speed to catch the seals，” he said.“Their metabolic rate is much faster than what we had assumed.These animals are probably going to be feeding every day，rather than several weeks.” The research also sought to improve understanding of how sharks fit into the ocean ecosystem. “We don’t have a good handle on the population sizes of white sharks.We know that sharks in general are under pressure around the world from overfishing，” Semmens said.“Furthermore，they’re long-lived.They reproduce late in their life and they produce a small number of babies.” Semmens said the effects of removing white sharks from the ocean were thus far more important than realized.“They’re keeping under control a lot more animals than we thought，” he said. 语篇解读 大白鲨是世界上最大的食肉性鱼类。本文介绍了一项关于大白鲨的最新研究。 11．The U．S.research made people believe that .

The EIAA questioned 15,000 people in 15 European countries，looking at how people are using the Internet and its influence on their everyday lives.It has found that the mobile Internet is increasingly finding its way into the public awareness.Over 71 million Europeans now have Internet access on their mobile phones.In the UK,10 million people now access the Internet through their mobile phones and spend 6.3 hours doing so in a week. Unsurprisingly younger generations in the UK are leading the way，with nearly half of the country’s 16-to-24-year-olds and a quarter of 25-to-34-year-olds using the mobile Internet，spending 6.5 and 6.2 hours online each week. Entertainment plays a major role in our mobile Internet lives，with one in five British people using their phones for online games，a third listening to the online radio and 39 percent watching films，TV or other videos at least once a week.One third of those using an Internet phone said they received videos，images or other multimedia on their mobile，and 61 percent said they passed on contents they received. From a communication point of view,80 percent of those questioned agreed that the Internet had made it easier for them to stay in touch with friends and family. Alison Fennah，director of the EIAA，said the mobile Internet use had come to the point that marketers should be looking to develop strategies that connect with consumers more effectively.“Better devices as well as improved consumer motivation that start coming together in 2011 can make a great difference to extending the online experience，” Fennah said. 语篇解读 本文主要讲的是一项研究表明人们现在在移动互联网上花的时间比在阅读报纸和 杂志上花的时间多，另外该研究还调查了互联网对他们日常生活的影响。 16．How long does a European spend on the mobile Internet per week according to the EIAA?
