题目

One of today's hottest topics among women （and to an extent among men too now） is anti aging and how to reverse the signs of age．The beauty industry has responded to this by offering a wide collection of anti aging creams and other anti aging products aimed at all pocketbooks，ranging from economical to highly priced． And the question is “do any of these often much-vaunted （被过度吹嘘的） anti aging creams actually work?” And if they do，how precisely do they perform their miracles? Well the appropriate response to that is that they do work - after a fashion．There certainly are anti aging creams available for a relatively modest price that will reduce the appearance of wrinkles in a comparatively short period of regular application．But this really is the limit of their powers: they won't actually undo skin damage or eradicate （根除） all signs of age；they will simply modify them，some more effectively than others． The way they work is like so: they remove upper layers of dead skin cells and make deeper layers absorb water，serving to plump them up and make them look fuller and healthier．But since such anti aging creams only go skin deep，as it were，skin damage will reappear once you stop using the anti aging wrinkle cream． This means fairly heavy regular use，which might be costly depending on your choice of product．However，if you can afford it or think it's worth the cost，it won't be such an issue．After all，what woman wants to look older than her years when looking good is so tied up with many women's self-esteem and sense of identity． A compromise （折中） solution for those on a tighter budget is to use the cheaper creams．In addition，it's always wise to be a little experimental to make sure you end up with the one that suits your skin best． So，to sum up: an anti wrinkle face cream will work within limits，depending on your objective．                         71．This passage mainly tells us something about __________. A．anti aging creams                                      B．anti aging foods C．anti wrinkle face                                       D．anti wrinkle skin 72．According to the author，we can infer __________. A．anti aging creams must reverse the signs of age B．skin damage must not reappear after using creams C．anti aging creams should be properly used D．skin damage will disappear forever after using creams 73．The benefits from anti aging creams are the following except that __________.

A．spend much money on your choice of product B．easily afford your choice of product C．think your choice of product wrong D．believe your choice of product right 答案：71．A  主旨大意题。整篇文章介绍的是抗衰老护肤霜的一些情况。 72．C  推理判断题。ABD的表述中的must及forever均太绝对。所以C项的正确使用抗衰老护肤霜是正确的。 73．D  细节理解题。根据第四段的表述可知ABC都正确，而D项说使皱褶的皮肤粗糙显然不是好处。 74．B  猜测词义题。根据下文的cheaper可以知道on a tighter budget应指的是“钱少，不宽裕，拮据”。 75．A  细节理解题。根据“This means fairly heavy regular use, which might be costly depending on your choice of product．”这句话中的“costly”可以知道要花很多的钱。
