Text 1 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 runaways.The parliament also agreed to ban websites that“incite excessive thinness”by promoting extreme dieting.Such measures have a couple of uplifting motives.They suggest beauty should not be defined by looks that end up impinging on health.That’s a start.And the ban on ultra-thin models seems to go beyond protecting models from starving themselves to death-as some have done.It tells the fashion industry that it must take responsibility for the signal it sends women,especially teenage girls,about the social tape-measure they must use to determine their individual worth.The bans,if fully enforced,would suggest to women（and many men）that they should not let others be arbiters of their beauty.And perhaps faintly,they hint that people should look to intangible qualities like character and intellect rather than dieting their way to size zero or wasp-waist physiques.The French measures,however,rely too much on severe punishment to change a culture that still regards beauty as skin-deep-and bone-showing.Under the law,using a fashion model that does not meet a government-defined index of body mass could result in a$85,000 fine and six months in prison.The fashion industry knows it has an inherent problem in focusing on material adornment and idealized body types.In Denmark,the United States,and a few other countries,it is trying to set voluntary standards for models and fashion images that rely more on peer pressure for enforcement.In contrast to France’s actions,Denmark’s fashion industry agreed last month on rules and sanctions regarding the age,health,and other characteristics of models.The newly revised Danish Fashion Ethical Charter clearly states:“We are aware of and take responsibility for the impact the fashion industry has on body ideals,especially on young people.”The charter’s main tool of enforcement is to deny access for designers and modeling agencies to Copenhagen Fashion Week（CFW）,which is run by the Danish Fashion Institute.But in general it relies on a name-and-shame method of compliance.Relying on ethical persuasion rather than law to address the misuse of body ideals may be the best step.Even better would be to help elevate notions of beauty beyond the material standards of a particular industry.

参考解析
解析：推理题。题干问的是“设计师似乎被CFW拒绝的原因”。根据题干关键词，回文定位到倒数第二段，其中指出“…enforcement is to deny access for designers…”，意思是“法案拒绝设计师进入CFW，它是由丹麦时装学院创办的。”，再根据该段前两句可知，丹麦时尚界同意关于模特的年纪，健康以及其他特点的法规和制裁，也就是说，丹麦时装学院不再只关注身材，也关注健康。而设计师一般都是以瘦为美，而忽视健康。综上所述，设计师被拒绝的原因是不考虑健康因素，故选[C]showing litt

Text 2 MPs are to investigate the environmental impact of throwaway"fast fashion"in the UK amid growing concerns that the multi-billion pound industry is wasting valuable resources and contributing to climate change.The inquiry,launched on Friday by the House of Commons environmental audit committee,will explore the carbon impact,resource use and water footprint of clothing throughout its lifecycle and supply chain.Inviting evidence on how the influential sector should remodel itself to be both"thriving and sustainable",it will look at how improved recycling rates of clothing could slash waste and pollution."Fashion shouldn't cost the Earth,"said Mary Creagh MP,chair of the committee."But the way we design,make and discard clothes has a huge environmental impact.Producing clothes requires climate-changing emissions.Every time we put on a wash,thousands of plastic fibres wash down the drain into the oceans.We don't know where or how to recycle end-of-life clothing."Despite recent troubles on the UK high street,the fashion sector has continued to grow.According to the British Fashion Council,the UK fashion industry contributed~28.lbn to national GDP in 2015,up from￡21bn in 2009.But the globalised market for fashion manufacturing has facilitated a"fast fashion"phenomenon:a proliferation of cheap and cheerful clothing,with quick turnover that encourages consumers to keep buying,the committee warns.The raw materials used to manufacture clothes require land and water,or extraction of fossil fuels,while carbon dioxide is emitted throughout the clothing supply chain and some chemical dyes,finishes and coatings may be toxic.Research has found that plastic microfibres in clothing are released when they are washed,and enter rivers,the ocean and even the food chain.Last year the fashion designer Stella McCartney condemned her own industry as"incredibly wasteful and harmful to the environment."A report from the Ellen MacArthur Foundation put the annual cost to the UK economy of landfilling clothing and household textiles at about~82m.It wamed that if the global fashion industry continues on its current growth path,it could use more than a quarter of the world's annual carbon budget by 2050.Key to the inquiry is how consumers could be encouraged to buy fewer clothes,reuse clothes and think about how best to dispose of clothes when they are no longer wanted.An estimated 300,000 tonnes of fashion waste goes straight into lan曲ll each year,despite growing efforis to encourage consumers to recycle their worn and unwanted clothing.

Text l With polished stone floors and a plate-glass roof,a shining multi-storey shopping mall has just opened beside a motorway north of Paris.Named Qwartz,and costing 300m,it houses 165 shops and what developers call"eating concepts".Two other American-style shopping malls opened in the greater Paris region last year,and a third,So Ouest,in 2012.A country that prides iiself on fashion designer boutiques and aflisanal shops seernq to be turning into one of mall rats.Partly ihis is just catching up.Until recently,strict planning rules stopped big out of-town shopping centres around the French capilal.Most malls that existed,such as V61izy 2 or Rosny 2,dated from the 1970s,when rive new towns were built in the Paris suburbs.But a new relaxed attitude has now let more modem projects go ahead.It also points to two features of French society that escape the gaze of historic Paris.One is most shoppers'suburban way of life.Only 2.2m people live in the capital itself.Yet the greater Paris region,excluding the city,counts over four times more inhabitanLs,many in small towns and car dependent suburbs.The new malls,ringed by car parks,are handy,even aUuring.Fully 62%of the French told one poll that malls were cheir favourite places to shop,ahead of the high street or traditiOPal department stores.The other trend is the global taste of consumers.Besides a huge French hypermarket,Qwartz's big puU is Primark,an Irish cheap-fashion retailer,and Marks&Spencer,a British chain.Jusc down the road,So Ouest boasts Hollister,an American surfwear brand,Starbucks,an American coffee house,and foreign fashion chains such as H&M ancl Zara.In today's temples of consumption,global is a La mode.This is not quite the France favoured by Amaud Montebourg,the industry minister and architect of a"Made in France"campaign.He is now trying to keep Amencan hands off Alstom,the French maker of TCV fast trains.He once posed cheerfully for a magazine,dressed in a striped Breton top and holding a Moulinex food-blender.Yet even French brands are not always home-made,as Benjamin Carle,a reporter,discovered filming a television documeniary about his efforts to live for a year using only products made in France.The result was comic-and sobering.Not only was it impossible to find some items,including a fridge and coffee.Mr Carle initially had to empty his flat of anyLhing that did not meet the test of 50%of its value being made in France.Out went the bicycle,computer,guitar,most of the furnilure,beer.clothes,toothbrush and more.The share of his stuff that qualified as French-made?Just 4.5%.
According to Paragraph l,France is proud of its____A.fashion industry
B.eaLing concepts
C.cooking culture
D.shopping malls

My Dream My dream has always been to work somewhere in an area between fashion and publishing. Two years before graduating from secondary school, I took a sewing and design course thinking that I would move on to a fashion design course. However, during that course I realised that I was not good enough in this area to compete with other creative personalities in the future, so I decided that it was not the right path for me. Before applying for university I told everyone that I would study journalism, because writing was, and still is, one of my favourite activities. But, to be absolutely honest, I said it, because I thought that fashion and me together was just a dream - I knew that no one, apart from myself, could imagine me in the fashion industry at all!
