(2016年考研英语一真题阅读理解）
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.
21. According to the first paragraph,
what would happen in France?
[A] Physical beauty would be redefined.
[B] New runways would be constructed.
[C]Websites about dieting would thrive.
[D] The fashion industry would decline.
解析：
题目考察的是：根据第一段推测，法国会发生什么？
选段中第一句的意思是：法国时装业失去了定义形体美的绝对权利。所以，法国的立法者通过了一项法律，gave preliminary approval,初步批准，雇用超瘦的模特属于犯罪。从这可以推断出，法国现在倡导的是美丽不应该以伤害身体健康为代价。
四个选项中，A.Physical beauty would
be redefined.形体美可能被重新定义。
B.New runways would be constructed.
可能会建造新的舞台。C.Websites about dieting would thrive.关于节食的网站将会兴起。D.The fashion industry would decline.时装业将会衰落。【答案】A

山脉中的新生代——喜马拉雅山
New generations of mountain
ranges——the Himalayas
The Himalaya, formed around fifty million years ago, is one of the youngest anges on the planet and also is home to the world's highest peak, Mount Everest . The name of it , Himalaya , in Tibetan, means hometown to snow. And in a Chinese folklore, the 5 highest peak of Himalaya ranges are 5 fairies Nho had saved the people and animals here.
喜马拉雅山脉，大约形成于五千万年
前，不仅是地球上最年轻的山脉之
世界最高峰珠穆朗玛峰也屿立其中。
马拉雅山脉的名字，藏语的意思是“雪
的故乡”。在中国神话传说中，喜马拉
雅山脉最高的五个主峰是五位拯救生灵的仙女化身而成。
The Himalayan ranges, which includes outlying subranges, stretches across Bhutan, China Tibet, India, Nepal, Pakistan and Afghanistan. They are the
source of three of the world's major
river systems, the Indus, the Gan-
ga-Brahmaputra, and the Yangtze. Ap-
proximately 1.3 billion people live in the drainage basin of the Himalayan rivers.
喜马拉雅山脉，包括边远子区，横跨不丹，中国西藏，印度，尼泊尔，巴基斯坦和阿富汗。喜马拉雅山脉同样是是世界上三个主要河流系统的源头，即印度河，恒河-布拉马普特拉河和长江。大约13亿人生活在喜马拉雅河的流域。
主题打包盒
1.喜马拉雅山脉，世界上最壮丽的自然
景观，也是世界上最雄伟的山脉。对于世代居住于此的牧民来说，牦牛是生存的关键。索克梅照看着一个有着200头耗牛的耗牛群。从冬季牧场到夏季牧场的迁移，他已经完成了一半。之后，他们将面对迁移中最难的道路——溢口。
2.穿越溢口不仅耗时费力，还十分危险。
因为耗牛可能会恐惧并跳下悬崖，这样一切都付之东流，如果选择绕远路，一半的牛群都无法撑过迁移。索克梅准备拿自己的一切冒险。他将经播悬挂至峡谷入口两边，进行祈祷过后，一行人开始下山。2个小时的跨越结束后，还有三天的艰难跋涉。但最终，期待的家园出现了。与家人分离六个月后，终于团聚。
