問題詳情

Questions 41-45 refer to the following passage. PASSAGE 5        In spring 2008, the possible subject matter for picture books expanded into a new realm with the publication of My Beautiful Mommy. Written by Michael Salzhauer and illustrated by Victor Guiza, the narrative is billed as the first picture book to address the subject of cosmetic surgery.        Told from a first-person perspective, My Beautiful Mommy relays the experiences of a young girl whose mother is about to undergo multiple elective aesthetic procedures. Although the story is fictional, it takes an informational rather than imaginative approach: the narrative provides young readers with a type of "guided tour" or instructive overview of the process.        My Beautiful Mommy begins with the mother's initial consultation at the doctor's office, progresses to the day of her surgery, discusses the period of her ___, and ends with the removal of her bandages and the unveiling of her new, cosmetically altered self. To help explain the entire cosmetic surgery experience to child readers, the book appropriates a common metaphor from nature: it compares the mother's transformation to that of a caterpillar into a butterfly, complete with even likening her bandages to a cocoon.        The mother in My Beautiful Mommy is undergoing not simply a random cluster of cosmetic surgery procedures, but a specific grouping known as the "mommy makeover." Comprised of a tummy ___ liposuction, and a breast lift (with or without implants), it is a designed to help mothers regain their pre-pregnancy form. Given the growing number of women undergoing cosmetic surgery, coupled with the growing societal belief that parents ought to be more honest and open with their children, there was a growing need to have such procedures explained in a manner that young people could understand.        As Abigail Jones aptly observed, while much attention has been paid to "the emotional effects plastic surgery can have on patients," few have addressed the question "how does a mother's plastic surgery affect her kids?". My Beautiful Mommy seeks to do just that. Released on the symbolic date of Mother's Day in 2008, the picture book is aimed at children ages four through seven, and it is intended to ease the fear and anxiety that children experience when a parent undergoes cosmetic surgery.

【評論內容】(A) 這篇文章的作者被稱為整容外科研究的先驅。 the narrative is billed as the first picture book to address the subject of cosmetic surgery. 這本書被譽為第一本以整容手術為主題的圖畫書。 (B) 《我美麗的媽媽》是第一人稱敘事,從母親的角度講述。Told from a first-person perspective, My Beautiful Mommy relays the experiences of a young girl whose mother is about to undergo multiple elective aesthetic procedures.(C) 第 3 段空白處最適合的答案是「康復」。(D) 整容手術與昆蟲學改造一樣是強制性的。 the book appropriates a common metaphor from nature: it compares the mother's transformation to that of a caterpillar into a butterfly, complete with even likening her bandages to a cocoon. (E)《我的美麗媽媽》是一本虛構的圖畫書,內容不可靠。 My Beautiful Mommy begins with the mother's initial consultation at the doctor's office, progresses to the day of her surgery, discusses the period of her recuperation, and ends with the removal of her bandages and the unveiling of her new, cosmetically altered self. 《我美麗的媽媽》從母親在醫生辦公室的初次諮詢開始,一直到她的手術當天,討論她的康復期,最後以拆除繃帶和展現她經過美容改變的新自我而結束。
