An Israeli law banning too skinny models went into effect with the start of 2013. The law, approved last March in Israel, requires models to prove they have maintained a Body Mass Index (BMI) of at least 18.5 for three months before a fashion show. That means a woman who is 5'8''tall can weigh no less than 119 pounds.
“This law is another step in the war against eating disorders,” said physician Adatto. “Underweight models,” he explained, “can no longer serve as role models for innocent young people who copy their false image of being skinny.”
But some critics in this country say it is misguided, focusing on weight instead of health. They also say the Israeli ban is bound to fail because of the strong power of the fashion industry. “I think it’s an approach that isn’t going to work.” Said eating disorder expert Susan Ice, who worked with an organization which creates a healthy working environment for models.
But Adatto told the reporter that he began to concern the issue after meeting an ambitious model who looked like she needed to be hospitalized. He said. “I realized that only legislation can change the situation. There was no time to waste, so many girls were dieting to death.”
However, the efforts to regulate models’ weight in Spain and Italy have not resulted in significant changes in part because of difficulties in determining reliable methods of measuring weight and health.
Still, folks including Ice say there’s no denying that images from Hollywood and the fashion industry can be difficult for young women to deal with. “Certainly I don't believe the modeling industry has caused the rise in eating disorders, but it makes it harder,” she says. “It’s a difficult recovery environment, worshiping thinness as the beauty ideal.”
56. What does BMI in the first paragraph refer to?
A. A measure of body health based on height and weight.
B. A worldwide prize for the healthiest model.
C. A new show held by those skinny models.
D. A kind of medicine to cure eating disorders.
57. One benefit the new Israeli law may bring is ________.
A. to change the working conditions of models
B. to lower the chance of skinny models’ death
C. to provide guidance for women worshiping thinness
D. to prevent models from suffering from eating disorders
58. In the opinion of the critics, the law won’t succeed because .
A. it misleads young women to form a bad eating habit.
B. it doesn’t provide a proper approach that can work well.
C. it doesn’t create a healthy working environment for models.
D. the fashion industry is much too influential.
59. What caused Adatto to think that a law was needed to change the situation?
A. Meeting an ambitious but too skinny model.
B. Establishing his fashion model agent.
C. Being interviewed by a reporter.
D. Seeing a model die from eating disorders.

News Feature
UNICEF calls for an
international law
banning land-mines
Citing the &enormous pain and suffering& land-mines have inflicted
hundreds of thousands of children over the last several decades, UNICEF is
calling for an international law banning the production, use, stockpiling, sale
and export of anti-personnel mines. In its report, The State of the World's
Children 1996, UNICEF joins a growing number of organizations proposing such a
measure. UNICEF also announces in the report that it will not deal with the
dozens of companies around the world that now manufacture or sell the deadly
&Of all the weapons that have accumulated over years of war, few are
more persistent and more lethal to children,& the report says. In 64
countries, where an estimated 110 million land-mines are lodged in the ground,
children pick up or step on the devices while herding animals, working in the
fields or just playing. Since many of the explosives look like toys, tops,
pineapples or butterflies, children are drawn to them. In some areas, children
scavenge mines for scrap metal.
Limbless and blind children around the world bear witness to the land-mines'
path of destruction. Since 1975, the devices have killed or maimed more than
million people. They continue to kill 800 victims each month and disable more
than 1,000 others. Women and children in Angola account for most of the
country's 20,000 amputees. In El Salvador, about 75 per cent of those injured or
killed were children. Many of today's land-mines, which can remain active for
decades, were planted before their youngest victims were born.
Because their bodies are more vulnerable, children suffer greater injury and
are more likely to be killed by mines than adults. And the number of child
victims is likely to grow in countries that can least afford treatment for them.
In El Salvador, for example, fewer than 20 per cent of child victims receive
artificial limbs or any kind of remedial therapy. The rest have to fend for
themselves, often begging or stealing to survive.
A land-mine is a perfect soldier: &Ever courageous, never sleeps, never
misses,& the UNICEF report quotes one Khmer Rouge general as saying. And,
the general might have added, the mechanical soldier never eats, falls ill or
disobeys. Moreover, it gives a bigger bang for the dollar: a mine can cost as
little as US$3.
Precisely because they are cheap and plentiful, land-mines have littered the
landscape of developing countries, particularly in Africa and Asia. An estimated
23 million mines await triggering in Egypt alone, according to a United Nations
report. Angola holds as many as 15 million mines -- at least one for every
inhabitant.
These devices, a weapon of choice everywhere, are used by most combatants on
the globe. During the Persian Gulf war, for example, the United States and its
allies laid about 1 million mines along the Iraq-Kuwait border and around the
Iraqi city of Basra. In the fighting in the Balkans, at least 3 million mines
have been laid.
When deployed in territories with high civilian populations, land-mines rip
apart the fabric of life, disrupt food production and distribution, burden
health facilities, obstruct relief efforts and the resettlement of refugees and
despoil the environment. The devastation they unleash can last for decades.
Land-mines can be cleared, but only by a laborious, expensive process.
Trained workers have to crawl their way along, probing the soil inch by inch.
One person can cover only 20 to 50 square metres a day. Each mine can cost up to
US$1,000 to clear.
UNICEF, which assists in mine awareness programmes for children and their
families, points out that the world is losing the battle to protect children
against land-mines. While about 100,000 mines were cleared in 1993, 2 million
more replaced them, according to UN sources. An additional 100 million
land-mines are believed to be stockpiled.
Another obstacle to eradication of mines is the fact that the weapons and
their scattering devices are profitable for the companies that manufacture and
sell them. UNICEF wants to put pressure on such companies to stop the harmful
business and has joined the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees
(UNHCR) in supporting a boycott of these companies, many of them with
household-name recognition.
&I see little difference between those who use them and those who
produce them,& says Sadako Ogata, UN High Commissioner for Refugees. &Whatever
the present legality of manufacturing such weapons, the toll they take on
innocent civilians amounts to a crime against humankind.&
In its report, UNICEF says a comprehensive international law banning
production, use, stockpiling, sale and export of land-mines is &the only
way to stop the endless suffering of children and other civilians.&

因为篇幅有限，只列出部分考点，详细请访问。
新闻报道类阅读
新闻报道类阅读的概念：
阅读理解的选材明显地呈现出关注实际生活的趋势，这种趋势与当前基础教育改革的目标是一致的，而中学生学习语言的根本目标与基础教育学会求知，学会做事，学会合作，学会做人的目标是一致的，真实新颖的选材对基础英语教学课程改革具有重要的反作用。新闻报道类阅读理解技巧点拨：&&&&&&&
&&&&&&&&新闻报道类类文章有一共同特点，即都是由标题（Headline）、导语（Lead）、主体（Mainbody）、背景（Background）和结尾（End）五部分构成。标题是新闻报道中心思想高度而又精辟的概括；导语位于新闻报道的首段，高度概括新闻事实；主体则对导语概括的新闻事实进行详细叙述；新闻背景是指新闻事实之外，对新闻事实或新闻事实的某个部分进行解释或补充的材料；结尾往往是新闻事件的结果或动态展望，也是中心思想的概括并常常与新闻导语相呼应。&&&&&&&&新闻报道中的导语非常重要，它位于文章的第一段，通过它点出新闻的主题，五个W和一个H(When,Where,Who,What,Why和How)通常是构成一则完整消息不可缺少的要素。文章往往呈现出“倒金字塔”的特征，因此读懂首句或首段至关重要。&&&&&& 另外，从句的使用也是此类文章的一大语言特色，因为从句信息量大，适合新闻报道的要求。此外，大量的副词和插入语的使用也是此类文章的特点。为使文章更客观、更具信服力，常用The study said…, Scientists believe that…Experts said…, It's reported that…, According to the survey…等语言。同事在阅读过程中，我们要对材料所提供信息如when, where, who, how, why等进行提问，将信息迅速提炼出来。新闻报道类阅读应试策略：
【命题趋势】阅读理解的选材明显地呈现出关注实际生活的趋势，这种趋势与当前基础教育改革的目标是一致的，而中学生学习语言的根本目标与基础教育学会求知，学会做事，学会合作，学会做人的目标是一致的，真实新颖的选材对基础英语教学课程改革具有重要的反作用。时文报道就在文章中体现了这一要求。主要表现在以下几个方面： 1、反映海内外事件，文章结构严谨，内容贴近生活，用现代英语反映现代生活。 2、如果是新闻报道，都有比较固定的写作格式，如文首通常有报道的地点或时间，第一句话常常是文章的导语，有助于了解文章的大致内容和主题。 3、如果是新闻报道则是记叙文，有地点、时间、人物、事物等要素。 4、有许多大量反映当代社会变化的新词汇和表达方式。 5、命题既重细节，又重推理和主旨。 6、大背景中的小事件，大事件中的小插曲往往是选材的热点。【应试对策】 1、在平时学习中，关注生活，阅读新闻报道和广告类文章、把阅读时事文章作为学习英语的重要途径。 2、了解新的词汇和表达方式。如：tsunami海啸，MP3players(MP3)播放器，well_offsociety小康社会等。 3、抓住文章主题，准确捕捉细节和内涵，进行合理的推理。 4、品味新闻的标题，联系平时所积累的知识，为了解材料大意作铺垫。 5、了解新闻报道的特殊规律，其内容和多含何人、何地、何事、何时等，阅读时要抓住新闻的这一主要特点去理解判断。 6、要注意文中以黑体、大写、下划线等方式加以提示的文字，因为这很有可能是材料的核心或至少是一部分内容的概括。
