问题 判断题



Imports from Asian countries are more competitive than U.S. home-made products because of lower wages in Asia and the exemption of duties for imported goods shipped to the United States.

答案

参考答案:

解析:
Foreign laborers, especially Asian ones earning low wages, are pictured as working willingly for American capitalists abroad who pay slightly better than average wages; while the former learn otherwise inaccessible technology arid produce sophisticated goods that compete with domestic American goods, even allowing for shipping charges and import duties.

[分析]: 语义逻辑推理判断。
根据原文可知,对于美国海外资本家来说使用外国劳力,尤其是亚洲国家的劳力费用非常低。而这些国家却从此得到先进技术,生产尖端产品。这些产品,即使在增加运费和进口税的水平上仍可与美国国内制造的产品竞争。由此可见海外美国人使用亚洲劳力制造的产品,即使有运费和进口税的压力,仍然可与美国本土制造的产品竞争。显然这与题干中所言进口美国的商品免除税费的说法不相符。因此,题干的说法是错误的。
[解题关键] 掌握短语含义。原文中“allowing for…”意为“将……计算在内”而题干中“the exemption of”意为“免除”,二者含义正好相反。

Even before they start school, many young girls worry that they are fat. But a new study suggests watching a movie starring a stereotypically(模式化地)thin and beautiful princess may not increase children’s anxieties.

Nearly half of the 3 to 6 year old girls in a study by Professor Stacey Tantleff-Dunn and doctoral student Sharon Hayes said they worry about being fat. About one-third would change a physical feature, such as their weight or hair color.

The number of girls worried about being fat at such a young age concerns Tantleff-Dunn because of the potential effects later in life. Studies have shown young girls worried about their body image are more likely to suffer from eating disorders when they are older.

The encouraging news for parents is that taking their young daughters to see the new Disney film “The Princess and the Frog” isn’t likely to influence how they see their bodies.

“The media have a great effect on how young girls see their bodies. That’s why it’s important for parents to use movies such as ‘The Princess and the Frog,’ to start conversations with their children about weight, skin color and their views of beauty. They can explain that princesses’ tiny waists are not realistic for girls and that children don’t need Cinderella’s golden hair or Snow White’s porcelain(瓷制的) skin to look good,” Tantleff-Dunn said.

“We need to help our children challenge the images of beauty, particularly thinness, that they see and idolize, and encourage them to question how much appearance should be part of their self-worth,” said Tantleff-Dunn. “We should help them build a positive self-image with an appreciation for many different types of body features.” And as their children’s most important role models, parents also should avoid criticizing their own bodies.
