六級仔細閱讀專項練習

　　六級考試中的仔細閱讀佔有重要地位，在剩下的備考時間裡需要抓緊閱讀理解的練習。下面小編為大家帶來，供各位考生備考練習。

　　原文

　　Plastic, it seems, is no longer fantastic. Even Hollywood, that factory of artifice ***欺騙***, isdemanding areturn to reality when it comes to women’s bodies.

　　Disney Studio's recent casting call for female extras for the fourth Pirates of the Caribbean filmincluded a surprise announcement: "Must have real breasts. Do not submit if you haveimplants ***移植物***." Surgically enhanced breasts might still be considered sexy or essential byairhead starlets and models. but the new buzzword***時髦語*** in America is"authenticity". That'swhy. for women in the public eye. having fake breasts is looking increasingly less like a careermove and more like career suicide. Another indication thatfake breasts are going bust is thefact that television shows such as Extreme Makeover and The Swan ***TV which promised to nipand tuck ordinary women into goddesses*** have been cancelled. while statistics fromtheAmerican Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery show that the number of breast enlargementsin America fellfrom 365,000 to 312,000 last year.

　　In many surveys. research has shown that the larger the breasts, the more stupid a woman isconsidered to be. Other women,meanwhile, consider women with large breasts as a threat-sohaving a surgical enhancement is a lose-lose situation. Chantelle Houghton ***from Big Brotherremember her?*** almost immediately regrettedgelling implants to boost her chest and admitsthat they were "taking over her life". and she had io resort to physiotherapy to deal with theback pain they caused. Even Sharon Osbourne, voted the queen of nip and tuck***整容手術***, saidrecently: "I wish I'd never had my breasts done. It's like having a waterbed on your chest I hatethem. I want to have the bags taken out-then I'll put them on eBay."

　　The more stories we hear like this the better. because then perhaps young women will realizethat large breasts aren’t che assets they think they are-or Hollywood has made them out to be.

　　題目

　　2. For mindless starlets and models. plastic breasts might be___________________.

　　3. That surgically enhanced breasts are not popular is manifested by the______________ of some TV shows.

　　4. According to many surveys. if a woman has large breasts. she will be regarded as_______________by otherwomen.

　　5. The author hopes that through some real stories, young women can be aware that large breasts____________________as they think.

　　答案

　　1.[A return to reality.]

　　[定位]根據題幹中的Hollywood和women's bodies查詢到第1段第2句。

　　解析：本段第1句中的no longer道出整形潮流的改變。第2句指出，好萊塢對女性身材也要求迴歸真實自然，題幹中as towomen's bodies對應原文中的when it comes to women's bodies，答案可在該句主句中找到。

　　2.[sexy or essential]

　　[定位]根據題幹中的starlets and models查詢到第2段第2句。

　　解析：題幹中的mindless和plastic breasts分別為原文中airhead和surgically enhanced breasts的同義替換，所以原文中considered後的sexy or essential為本題答案。

　　3.[cancellation]

　　[定位]根據題幹中的TV shows查詢到第2段第4句。

　　解析：根據空白處前後的冠詞和介詞，推斷這裡需要填入一個名詞。該句提到，另一個隆胸潮流不再的跡象，就是有些節目被取消了***have been cancelled***，因此需將cancelled轉化為其名詞形式cancellation。

　　4.[a threat]

　　[定位]根據題幹中的surveys, large breasts以及other women查詢到第3段第2句。

　　解析：題干將原文主動句改成了被動句，原文中的consider... as 對應題幹中的regarded as,故原文中的as的賓語a threat就是答案。

　　5.[aren't the assets]

　　[定位]根據題幹中的young women，large breasts以及they think查詢到第4段。

　　解析：原文最後一段說，這樣的真實故事聽得越多，也就越明白豐滿的胸部並不像想象中的那樣是一種優勢，題幹表達相同的意思，比較原文與題幹，可知aren't the assets為答案。
