?P1? France, which prides itself as the global innovator of fashion, has decided its fashion industry has lost an absolute right to define physical beauty for women. Its lawmakers gave preliminary approval last week to a law that would make it a crime to employ ultra-thin models on runways. The parliament also agreed to ban websites that “incite excessive thinness” by promoting extreme dieting.

解析：推斷題。根據(jù)題干first paragraph定位第一段，其中第一句France ,which prides itself as the global innovator of fashion, has decided its fashion industry has lost an absolute right to define physical beauty for woman以作為全球時(shí)尚創(chuàng)新者為榮的法國(guó)承認(rèn)已經(jīng)失去定義女性形體美的絕對(duì)權(quán)利，說(shuō)明法國(guó)以前制定的形體美的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)己不再適用，現(xiàn)在需要做出改變，故A選項(xiàng)為正確答案。

P2? Such measures have a couple of uplifting motives. They suggest beauty should not be defined by looks that end up impinging on health. That a start. And the ban on ultra-thin models seems to go beyond protecting models from starving themselves to death as some have done. It tells the fashion industry that it must take responsibility for the signal it sends women,especially teenage girls, about the social tape-measure they must use to determine their individual worth.

解析：詞義題。根據(jù)題干關(guān)鍵詞"impinging on"(line2, para2)定位到第二段的第二句"They suggest beauty should not be defined by looks that end up with impinging on health他們認(rèn)為美女不應(yīng)該以....健康的外表來(lái)界定。該句承接本段第一句"Such measures have a couple of uplifting motive.其中，Such measures 指代的正是第一段中闡述的"雇傭過(guò)瘦(excessive thinness)的模特會(huì)犯罪的法律規(guī)定"，且excessive一詞表明了情感色彩是貶義的。因此，推斷出 impinging on對(duì) health是"有害的、不利的"，故選[D] doing harm to

?

P3? The bans, if fully enforced, would suggest to women (and many men) that they should not let others be arbiters of their beauty. And perhaps faintly, they hint that people should look to

intangible qualities like character and intellect rather than dieting their way to size zero or

wasp-waist physiques.
