　　Plastic, it seems, is no longer fantastic. Even Hollywood, that factory of artifice (欺騙), is demanding areturn to reality when it comes to women’s bodies.

　　Disney Studio's recent casting call for female extras for the fourth Pirates of the Caribbean film included a surprise announcement: "Must have real breasts. Do not submit if you have implants (移植物)." Surgically enhanced breasts might still be considered sexy or essential by airhead starlets and models. but the new buzzword(時髦語) in America is"authenticity". That's why. for women in the public eye. having fake breasts is looking increasingly less like a career move and more like career suicide. Another indication thatfake breasts are going bust is the fact that television shows such as Extreme Makeover and The Swan (TV which promised to nip and tuck ordinary women into goddesses) have been cancelled. while statistics from theAmerican Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery show that the number of breast enlargements in America fellfrom 365,000 to 312,000 last year.

　　In many surveys. research has shown that the larger the breasts, the more stupid a woman is considered to be. Other women,meanwhile, consider women with large breasts as a threat-so having a surgical enhancement is a lose-lose situation. Chantelle Houghton (from Big Brother remember her?) almost immediately regrettedgelling implants to boost her chest and admits that they were "taking over her life". and she had io resort to physiotherapy to deal with the back pain they caused. Even Sharon Osbourne, voted the queen of nip and tuck(整容手術(shù)), said recently: "I wish I'd never had my breasts done. It's like having a waterbed on your chest I hate them. I want to have the bags taken out-then I'll put them on eBay."

　　The more stories we hear like this the better. because then perhaps young women will realize that large breasts aren’t che assets they think they are-or Hollywood has made them out to be.

　　1. What is the new trend in Hollywood as to women’s bodies?

　　2. For mindless starlets and models. plastic breasts might be___________________.

　　3. That surgically enhanced breasts are not popular is manifested by the______________ of some TV shows.

　　4. According to many surveys. if a woman has large breasts. she will be regarded as_______________by otherwomen.

　　5. The author hopes that through some real stories, young women can be aware that large breasts____________________as they think.

　　答案：

　　1.[A return to reality.]

　　[定位]根據(jù)題干中的Hollywood和women's bodies查找到第1段第2句。

　　解析：本段第1句中的no longer道出整形潮流的改變。第2句指出，好萊塢對女性身材也要求回歸真實自然，題干中as towomen's bodies對應(yīng)原文中的when it comes to women's bodies，答案可在該句主句中找到。

　　2.[sexy or essential]

　　[定位]根據(jù)題干中的starlets and models查找到第2段第2句。

　　解析：題干中的mindless和plastic breasts分別為原文中airhead和surgically enhanced breasts的同義替換，所以原文中considered后的sexy or essential為本題答案。

　　3.[cancellation]

　　[定位]根據(jù)題干中的TV shows查找到第2段第4句。

　　解析：根據(jù)空白處前后的冠詞和介詞，推斷這里需要填入一個名詞。該句提到，另一個隆胸潮流不再的跡象，就是有些節(jié)目被取消了(have been cancelled)，因此需將cancelled轉(zhuǎn)化為其名詞形式cancellation。

　　4.[a threat]

　　[定位]根據(jù)題干中的surveys, large breasts以及other women查找到第3段第2句。

　　解析：題干將原文主動句改成了被動句，原文中的consider... as 對應(yīng)題干中的regarded as,故原文中的as的賓語a threat就是答案。

　　5.[aren't the assets]

　　[定位]根據(jù)題干中的young women，large breasts以及they think查找到第4段。

　　解析：原文最后一段說，這樣的真實故事聽得越多，也就越明白豐滿的胸部并不像想象中的那樣是一種優(yōu)勢，題干表達(dá)相同的意思，比較原文與題干，可知aren't the assets為答案。
