Question

【題目】閱讀下文并回答問題。

Have you ever wished you could change something about your body? If so, you’re not alone.

Many people use apps like MeituXiuxiu to beautify photos before putting them on social media. Some teenagers are even having plastic surgery (整容術(shù)) at an early age. Zeng, a senior 2 student from Chengdu, had a double eyelid surgery (雙眼皮手術(shù)) done this summer. She and many of her classmates believe bigger eyes look more beautiful.

As teenagers’ bodies grow and change, they become afraid of the smallest flaw(缺陷) in their looks. They are very worried about it. This can even influence their health.

According to Huxiu News, over 60 percent of girls refuse to take part in some daily activities such as going to school, because they feel bad about their looks. As much as 31 percent of teenagers do not want to speak up in class because they worry that others will notice their looks.

One of the main causes is advertising, TV shows and social media. Pictures of “perfect” faces and bodies are everywhere. They suggest that having large eyes, pale skin and skinny bodies is the only way to be beautiful. Magazines give tips about how to lose weight “in days”. Advertisements suggest that you should whiten your skin using certain products. And TV shows often make fun of overweight characters. Seeing all these things can make people believe that they should change their bodies.

So what should we do? According to Nancy Etcoff of the Harvard Medical School, “We need to help young people in many ways. These ways can include educating students about body confidence in school, as well as encouraging parents to talk to their kids about this topic. After all, beauty comes in all shapes and sizes,” Etcoff said.

【解析】

文章大意：隨著青少年身體的成長和變化，他們開始意識到自己外表上的最小缺陷。據(jù)《湖秀新聞》報道，超過60%的女孩拒絕參加一些日�；顒�，多達31%的青少年不想在課堂上發(fā)言，因為他們擔(dān)心別人會注意到他們的長相。作者倡導(dǎo)需要幫助那些年輕人來改變太過在意外表的錯誤思想，來教育他們獲得自信。

【1】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Some teenagers are even having plastic surgery at an early age. 可知，是一些青少年甚至在很小的時候就開始做整形手術(shù)，而不是很多青少年在很小的時候就做了整形手術(shù)，所以這里作否定回答，故答案為No, they don’t.

【2】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)They suggest that having large eyes, pale skin and skinny bodies is the only way to be beautiful.可知，廣告、電視節(jié)目和社交媒體認為，擁有大眼睛、純白的皮膚和苗條的身材是美麗的唯一途徑。故答案為They are large eyes, pale skin and skinny bodies.

【3】詞句猜測題。根據(jù)上文作者的觀點，倡導(dǎo)需要幫助那些年輕人來改變太過在意外表的錯誤思想，來教育他們獲得自信。再根據(jù)all可以理解出來“美因人而異、每個人都有優(yōu)點。”故答案為Looking different and being yourself is true beauty./ True beauty comes from inside.( Any possible answer is OK.)

【4】開放性試題。這里需要列舉使我們自己變得感覺好的方式，根據(jù)最后一段作者的觀點，“美麗”來自各個方面，來自于我們的優(yōu)點、我們的自信……，所以可以回答I can have good living habits/ exercise regularly/ take part in a lot of activities. (Any possible answer is OK.)
