(2024·皖北協(xié)作區(qū)高三聯(lián)考)A former RAF (Royal Air Force) Spitfire pilot Peter Proctor, who fought in the World War Two, parachuted (跳傘) for the first time — at the grand old age of 92. Mr Proctor jumped out of a plane for the first time at Sibson Airfield, Peterborough, more than 70 years after he joined the RAF.
Mr Proctor, who has two artificial hips (臀部) and a false knee, jumped more than 13,000 feet to successfully complete his
first ever freefall jump.He said, “I've spent a lot of my life up in the air but this was a completely different experience. It was a nightmare trying to open up the hatches (艙口) and jump out of the plane back then, but I am so glad I have managed to complete the jump and I would love to do it again in the near future.”
Mr Proctor joined the RAF in 1942 and he was stationed in Durban, South Africa, to do his training before being sent to Zimbabwe where he earned his wings. He went on to become a fighter pilot in Egypt, India and went on a jungle self-preservation course before being sent to Burma in 1945. He ended his career in the armed forces in 1946 to return to his job as a store keeper in a shoe factory and went on to become a lorry driver for 33 years.
His wife, Olive, passed away eight years ago, but Mr Proctor has been determined to continue traveling around the world. He said, “Olive died eight years ago and it was absolutely
upsetting. But I've had great support from my family and friends who always encourage me to enjoy life.”

An Israeli law banning too-skinny models went into effect with the start of 2024. 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 aspiring model who looked like she needed to be hospitalized. He said, “I realized that only legislation(立法)can change the situation. There was no time to waste; so many girls were dieting to death. ”
However, the efforts to regulate model’s weight in Spain and Italy have not resulted 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. ”
【文章大意】本文講述了以色列出臺了一項新法律, 限制模特太瘦, 此項新法律引起了爭議。
1. 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 healthier model.
C. A new show held by those skinny models.
D. A kind of medicine to cure eating disorders.
【解析】選A。詞義猜測題。根據(jù)該詞后面的at least 18. 5 for three months before a fashion show(在時裝表演前至少三個月達(dá)到18. 5)可知BMI是一個標(biāo)準(zhǔn), 所以A項正確。BMI指“身體質(zhì)量指數(shù)”。
. One benefit the new Israeli law may bring is.
A. to change the working conditions of models
B. to lower the chance of skinny model’s death
C. to prevent models from suffering from eating disorders
D. to provide guidance for women worshiping thinness
【解析】選C。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中的“This law is another step in the war against eating disorders”可知C項正確。
. In the opinion of the critics, the law won’t succeed because.
A. it misleads young women to form a bad eating habit
B. the fashion industry is much too influential
C. it doesn’t provide a proper approach that can work well
D. it doesn’t create a healthy working environment for models
【解析】選B。推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段中的“They also say the Israeli ban is bound to fail because of the strong power of the fashion industry. ”可知B項正確。
. According to the passage, the new Israeli law banning skinny models is.
A. practicalB. acceptable
C. reasonable D. controversial
【解析】選D。觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度題。本文講述以色列出臺一項法律限制模特過瘦, 文中陳述了正反兩種觀點(diǎn), 一種贊成, 一種反對, 所以此項新法律是有爭議的。

You could feel sorry for Alberto Torres，who is blind.The last thing he remembers seeing was his daughter being born 13 years ago.Then the world went blank; he can only imagine what his only child looks like nowas a teenaged honor student.Bad luck is no stranger to this warm and thoughtful 37-year-old man.His mother died of cancer when he was 4，and his father，who was often ill，had to give him up to the care of the state when he was 11.He later worked for 19 years in a workshop making household goods，deathly boring work.Earlier this month，Alberto Torres's wife，who had just been laid off from her job，had to have a breast removed due to cancer and now faces a year of radiation treatments.Things seemed always to go from almost incredibly bad to worse.Even Mr.Torres's good luck has a dark side：Five years ago，his lovely guide dog pulled him out of the path of a truck.Mr.Torres was not hurt.The dog was killed.
But Mr.Torres does not feel sorry for himself.“These are just little bumps you have to go over in your life，” he said.At 5 a．m.on a recent morning，we caught up with Mr.Torres at a subway stop in Brooklyn，New York，near where he lives in a third-floor apartment (with no elevator)．He had been up since 3 a．m.，feeding his new dog，making coffee，getting ready.“When you're blind，it takes a little longer to do things，” he said.
Mr.Torres was beginning his two-hour trip to his job developing film in the X-ray department of the emergency room of the Bronx hospital.He would take the G train to Queens Plaza station to the R train，heading towards Manhattan.He would then ride the R train to 59th Street where he would walk upstairs to switch to the Number 6 train.At one point along the journey，he might chat with a stranger.At another，someone would pat his dog，calling him by name.People offered assistance，even seats.At 125th Street，Mr.Torres would transfer to the Number 4 train by crossing the platform.At 149th Street，he would go down to the Number 2.He would take that to East 180th Street where he nearly always has a long wait for his final train，to Pelham Parkway.Then he and his dog would walk 20 minutes to the hospital.
It was a hard job to come by.Before he got the job，Mr.Torres was determined to escape the workshop run by an organization dedicated to help people who can't see.He wanted a job developing X-ray film，something that everyone must do in the dark.He had to handle the long trip，as well as the work.“Our philosophy here is that blind people can do just about anything except drive buses，” it was the thinking about disabled people at the Bronx hospital.“We find what a person can do rather than what he can't do，” said the hospital's director.
One day a while ago marked the first anniversary of Mr.Torres's hiring.He developed 150 or so X-rays，his husual output，to celebrate.Mr.Torres works by himself in a small，dark room that smells of chemicals.He cannot wear gloves，because he needs to feel.It is hard work，related to emergency of lives.His immediate supervisor says he trusts him 100%.Mr.Torres makes $20，000 a year.But his motivation goes beyond money.“If I start feeling like a victim，that makes me bitter.And why be bitter？That makes you go into a hole and stay there.” he said.“I'm not doing anything out of the ordinary insisted Mr.Torres as he quickly completed the task.
