ꢀꢀDirections: In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements
attached to it. Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs.

ꢀꢀCaring for elderly parents catches many unprepared
ꢀꢀ[A ] Last July, Julie Baldocchi,s mother had a massive stroke and was
paralyzed. Baldocchi suddenly had to become a family caregiver, something that she
wasn"t prepared for. “I was flying by the seat of my pants,” says Baldocchi, an
employment specialist in San Francisco. Both of her parents are 83, and she knew
her father couldn’t handle her mother’s care. The hospital recommended putting
her mother in a nursing home. Baldocchi wasn’t willing to do that. But moving her
back into her parents’ home created other problems. Baldocchi, 48, is married and
lives about a mile away from her parents. She has a full-time job and has back problems
that make it difficult for her to lift her mother. “I couldn’t do it all,” she
says. “But I didn’t even know how to find help.”
ꢀꢀ[B] With help from the Family Caregiver Alliance, she eventually hired a live-in
caregiver. “But even if you plan intellectually and legally, you’re never ready
for the emotional impact,” Baldocchi says. In the first two months after her
mother’s stroke, she lost about 30 pounds as stress mounted. More than 42 million
Americans provide family caregiving for an adult who needs help with daily activities,
according to a 2009 survey by the AARP. An additional 61.6 million provided at least
some care during the year. And many are unprepared.
1ꢀꢀ[C] While many parents lack an advance care directive, it’s the most basic and
important step they can take. The directive includes several parts, including: a
durable power of attorney, which gives someone legal authority to make financial
decisions on another’s behalf; a health care proxy, which is similar to the power
of attorney, except it allows someone to make decisions regarding medical treatment;
and a living will that outlines instructions for end-of-life care. (For example,
parents can say if they want to be kept alive by artificial measures.) “It’s
invaluable for the kids, because it’s hard to make those decisions for a parent,”
says Jennifer Cona, an elder- law attorney at Genser Dubow Genser & Cona in Melville,
N.Y. An advance care directive is the first line of defense if a situation arises,
says Kathleen Kelly, executive director of the Family Caregiver Alliance, which
supports and educates caregivers. Without an advance directive, the family will have
to petition the court to be appointed the parent’s legal guardian, says
AgingCare.com.
ꢀꢀ[D] It’s important for families to talk about long-term care so the adult
children know their parents,preferences, wishes and goals, says Lynn Feinberg, a
caregiving expert at AARP. But it’s not an easy conversation. Elderly parents are
sometimes suspicious of their children’s financial motives, says Susan John, a
financial planner at Financial Focus in Wolfeboro, N.H. One client asked John to
hold a family meeting because they needed an intermediary to talk about financial
issues, she says. And when there are many siblings, the family decisions can become
a three-ring circus with much acrimony, says Ann-Margaret Carrozza, an elder-law
attorney in Glen Cove, N.Y. Families who need information and help sorting out
disagreements can call on elder-law attorneys, financial planners, geriatric care
managers and caregiver support groups. In February, AARP said it will offer its
members a new caregiving support service through financial services firm Genworth.
ꢀꢀ[E] Many families are unprepared for quick decisions, especially when they find
out that Medicare doesn’t pay for long-term care, Feinberg says. The median cost
of a year in a private room at a nursing home in 2011 was $77,745, according to
Genworth. And only those who have spent most of their assets can qualify for Medicaid
to pay for the nursing home.
ꢀꢀ[ F] Assisted living is another option. Residents can have their own apartment
to maintain some independence. But the facilities generally provide personal care
services, such as meals, housekeeping and assistance with activities. Still, it’s
not cheap: The national median cost in 2011 was $39,135, according to Genworth.
Assisted living isn’t covered by Medicaid.
2ꢀꢀ[G ] If they have a choice, at least 90% of elderly parents prefer to stay at
home as long as they can, according to
ꢀꢀAARP research. But if the parents can no longer safely live at home, it can be
hard for children to move them into an adult care facility. There may be another
option. Sometimes the home can be modified so a parent can stay there. For example,
Baldocchi put in a chair lift for her mother. She also arranged for a home caregiver.
ꢀꢀ[H] Family caregivers take over many responsibilities. One might manage a
parent’s finances, while another sibling will take the parent to doctors"
appointments and shopping. Those who move in with a parent take on a significant
and sustained burden of care. Jan Walker moved into her mother’s home in Leesburg,
Fla. After her mother, who is 83, had fallen, she wasn’t able to get around as well.
Walker, 55, has three brothers. But she is the only daughter, is divorced and has
no children. “I always knew that this was the role that I would have, and I guess
my mind was prepared for it,” says Walker, who now is a full-time caregiver and
works from home as a tutorial instructor for a digital scrapbooking website. “When
you get into the trenches, it’s literally baptism by fire,” she says. “New things
come up. It’s not just about advance planning for finances or medical care. It’s
everything,” she says.
ꢀꢀ[I ] Caregivers need to also watch their own health. “There is such a thing
as caregiver burnout, ” Cona says. Among female caregivers 50 and older, 20%
reported symptoms of depression, according to a 2010 study on working caregivers
by MetLife. “It’s a hard job,” Walker says. “But most worthwhile things are hard.
She was always there for me when I needed a helping hand. It’s only natural that
I be here for her now.”
ꢀꢀ46. When elderly parents cannot live at home safely, their children can change
their home instead of sending them to an adult care facility.
ꢀꢀ47. To talk about long-term care is not easy because sometimes aged parents are
suspicious of their children’s financial motives.
ꢀꢀ48. Besides advance planning for finances or medical care, family caregivers
take over many other responsibilities.
ꢀꢀ49. The difference between a durable power of attorney and a health care proxy
is that the latter allows someone to make decisions regarding medical treatment.
3ꢀꢀ50. Baldocchi did not want to send her mother to a nursing home, but she had
difficulty taking care of her.
ꢀꢀ51. Over 42 million caregivers helped an adult with everyday activities in the
USA in 2009.
ꢀꢀ52. If a family needs information or help to sort out disagreements, there are
many people they can call on.
ꢀꢀ53. Caregivers should pay attention to their own health, or they may burn out
or become depressed.
ꢀꢀ54. One will have to petition the court to be the parent’s legal guardian, if
there is no advance directive.
ꢀꢀ55. The national median cost of assisted living in 2011 was $39,135 and it is
not covered by Medicaid.

个句子,每句一题。每句所含的信息出自篇章的某一段落,要求考生找出与每句所含信息相

ꢀꢀDirections: In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements
attached to it. Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs.
Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a
paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the
questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.
ꢀꢀBeauty and Body Image in the Media
ꢀꢀ[A] Images of female bodies are everywhere. Women—and their body parts—sell
everything from food to cars. Popular film and television actresses are becoming
younger, taller and thinner. Some have even been known to faint on the set from lack
of food. Women’s magazines are full of articles urging that if they can just lose
those last twenty pounds, they’ll have it all—the perfect marriage, loving
children, great sex, and a rewarding career.
ꢀꢀ[B] Why are standards of beauty being imposed on women, the majority of whom
are naturally larger and more mature than any of the models? The roots, some analysts
say, are economic. By presenting an ideal difficult to achieve and maintain, the
cosmetic and diet product industries are assured of growth and profits. And it’s
6no accident that youth is increasingly promoted, along with thinness, as an essential
criterion of beauty. If not all women need to lose weight, for sure they’re all
aging, says the Quebec Action Network for Women’s Health in its 2001 report. And,
according to the industry, age is a disaster that needs to be dealt with.
ꢀꢀ[C] The stakes are huge. On the one hand, women who are insecure about their
bodies are more likely to buy beauty products, new clothes, and diet aids. It is
estimated that the diet industry alone is worth anywhere between 40 to 100 billion
(U.S.) a year selling temporary weight loss (90% to 95% of dieters regain the lost
weight). On the other hand, research indicates that exposure to images of thin, young,
air-brushed female bodies is linked to depression, loss of self-esteem and the
development of unhealthy eating habits in women and girls.
ꢀꢀ[D ] The American research group Anorexia Nervosa & Related Eating Disorders,
Inc. says that one out of every four college-aged women uses unhealthy methods of
weight control—including fasting, skipping meals, excessive exercise, laxative (泻
药)abuse, and self-induced vomiting. The pressure to be thin is also affecting young
girls: the Canadian Women’s Health Network warns that weight control measures are
now being taken by girls as young as 5 and 6. American statistics are similar. Several
studies, such as one conducted by Marika Tiggemann and Levina Clark in 2006 titled
“Appearance Culture in 9- to 12-Year-Old Girls: Media and Peer Influences on Body
Dissatisfaction,” indicate that nearly half of all preadolescent girls wish to be
thinner, and as a result have engaged in a diet or are aware of the concept of dieting.
In 2003, Teen magazine reported that 35 percent of girls 6 to 12 years old have been
on at least one diet, and that 50 to 70 percent of normal weight girls believe they
are overweight. Overall research indicates that 90% of women are dissatisfied with
their appearance in some way. Media activist Jean Kilbourne concludes that, “Women
are sold to the diet industry by the magazines we read and the television programs
we watch, almost all of which make us feel anxious about our weight.”
ꢀꢀ[ E] Perhaps the most disturbing is the fact that media images of female beauty
are unattainable for all but a very small number of women. Researchers generating
a computer model of a woman with Barbie-doll proportions, for example, found that
her back would be too weak to support the weight of her upper body, and her body
would be too narrow to contain more than half a liver and a few centimeters of bowel.
A real woman built that way would suffer from chronic diarrhea (慢性腹泻)and
eventually die from malnutrition. Jill Barad, President of Mattel (which
manufactures Barbie), estimated that 99% of girls aged 3 to 10 years old own at least
one Barbie doll. Still, the number of real life women and girls who seek a similarly
7underweight body is epidemic, and they can suffer equally devastating health
consequences. In 2006 it was estimated that up to 450, 000 Canadian women were
affected by an eating disorder.
ꢀꢀ[F ] Researchers report that women’s magazines have ten and one-half times more
ads and articles promoting weight loss than men’s magazines do, and over
three-quarters of the covers of women’s magazines include at least one message about
how to change a woman’s bodily appearance—by diet, exercise or cosmetic surgery.
Television and movies reinforce the importance of a thin body as a measure of a
woman’s worth. Canadian researcher Gregory Fouts reports that over three-quarters
of the female characters in TV situation comedies are underweight, and only one in
twenty are above average in size. Heavier actresses tend to receive negative comments
from male characters about their bodies (“How about wearing a sack?,,),and 80
percent of these negative comments are followed by canned audience laughter.
ꢀꢀ[G] There have been efforts in the magazine industry to buck (才氐制,反抗)the
trend. For several years the Quebec magazine Coup de Pouce has consistently included
full-sized women in their fashion pages and Chatelaine has pledged not to touch up
photos and not to include models less than 25 years of age. In Madrid, one of the
world’s biggest fashion capitals, ultra-thin models were banned from the runway
in 2006. Furthermore Spain has recently undergone a project with the aim to
standardize clothing sizes through using a unique process in which a laser beam is
used to measure real life women’s bodies in order to find the most true to life
measurement.
ꢀꢀ[ H] Another issue is the representation of ethnically diverse women in the media.
A 2008 study conducted by Juanita Covert and Travis Dixon titled “A Changing View:
Representation and Effects of the Portrayal of Women of Color in Mainstream Women’s
Magazines” found that although there was an increase in the representation of women
of colour, overall white women were overrepresented in mainstream women’s magazines
from 1999 to 2004.
ꢀꢀ[I] The barrage of messages about thinness, dieting and beauty tells
“ordinary” women that they are always in need of adjustment—and that the female
body is an object to be perfected. Jean Kilbourne argues that the overwhelming
presence of media images of painfully thin women means that real women’s bodies
have become invisible in the mass media. The real tragedy, Kilbourne concludes, is
that many women internalize these
8ꢀꢀstereotypes, and judge themselves by the beauty industry’s standards. Women
learn to compare themselves to
ꢀꢀother women, and to compete with them for male attention. This focus on beauty
and desirability “effectively destroys any awareness and action that might help
to change that climate.”
ꢀꢀ46. A report in Teen magazine showed that 50% to 70% girls with normal weight
think that they need to lose weight.
ꢀꢀ47. On the whole, for 6 years white women had been occupying much more space
in mainstream women’s magazines since 1999.
ꢀꢀ48. Some negative effects such as depression and unhealthy eating habits in
females are related to their being exposed to images of thin and young female bodies.
ꢀꢀ49. The mass media has helped boost the cosmetic and the diet industries.
ꢀꢀ50. It is reported that there is at least one message about the methods for women
to change their bodily appearance on more than three-quarters of the covers of
women’s magazines.
ꢀꢀ51. Some film and television actresses even faint on the scene due to eating
too little.
ꢀꢀ52. Too much concern with appearance makes it impossible to change such abnormal
trend.
ꢀꢀ53. Researchers found that a real woman with Barbie-doll proportions would
eventually die from malnutrition.
ꢀꢀ54. The Quebec magazine Coup (e Pouce resists the trend by consistently including
full-sized women in their fashion pages for several years.
ꢀꢀ5 5. According to some analysts, the fundamental reason of imposing standards
of beauty on women is economic profits.
