2、 What is the main point of view of this passage?Why do so many women seem obsessed with their weight and body shape? Are they really that unhappy and dissatisfied with themselves?In today’s society, the expectations for women and their bodies are all too evident.

For instance, the latest fashions for women reveal more and more skin: shorts have become shorter, to the point of being scarcely larger than a pair of underpants.

Now many people feel that this problem is disappearing. People have begun to assume that women want to be thin because they just want to be “healthy.” But it is ironic. What has happened is that the sickness slips in under the guise of wanting a “healthy” body…

2、 Read the following passage. Tell if it is reasoning or explaining.New-born babies may lack the capacity to monitor their own breathing and body-temperature during the first three months of life.

These babies wake more frequently than those who sleep alone. Moreover, mothers who sleep next to their babies are better able to monitor their child for movement during the night. Consequently, it may be safer for new-born babies to sleep with their parents.

B:explaining
C:both
D:neither
答案: both
3、 Read the following passage. Tell if it is reasoning or explaining.There were many reasons why the student was an hour late for the seminar.

Then, just as he closed the door behind him, the postwoman arrived, saying there was a parcel to be signed for. Her pen didn’t work which held them up further.

5、 Read the following paragraph and identify the problem.Just as history repeats itself, fashions have a tendency to do the same. In the 1960s, for example, women wore miniskirts that came several inches above the knee; some forty years later, the fashion magazines are featuring this same type of dress, and many teenagers are wearing them. The miniskirt has always been for slender women. I wonder if the fashion industry deliberately recycles. Men wore their hair long in the hippie period of the late 1960s and 1970s.
