Day 34 全 文 解 析

【2012英语二年Text2】

(1/4)Pretty in pink: adult women do not rememer being so obsessed with the colour, yet it is pervasive in our young girls’ lives. It is not that pink is intrinsically bad, but it is such a tiny slice of the rainbow and, though it may celebrate girlhood in one way, it also repeatedly and firmly fuses girls’ identity to appearance. Then it presents that connection, even among two-year-olds, between girls as not only innocent but as evidence of innocence. Looking around, I despaired at the singular lack of imagination about girls’ lives and interests.(Translation)

-穿粉色好看:成年女性已不记得曾如此痴迷于这种颜色,然而它却充斥在我们年轻女孩的生活中。粉色本身并 不是不好,但它只是七色彩虹中的一种颜色之一。虽然从某种程度上来说,粉色有助于烘托少女的特质,但它也一 再地将少女的特质融于外表。粉色呈现出少女,甚至是两岁少女之间的共性:天真,同时穿粉色也证明其天真。环 顾四周,对于女孩的生活以及兴趣如此缺乏想象力,我感到绝望。

(2/4)Girls’ attraction to pink may seem unavoidable, somehow encoded in their DNA, but according to Jo Paoletti, an associate professor of American Studies, it is not. Children were not colour-coded at all until the early 20th century: in the era before domestic washing machines all babies wore white as a practical matter, since the only way of getting clothes clean was to boil them. What’s more, both boys and girls wore what were thought of as gender-neutral dresses.When nursery colours were introduced, pink was actually considered the more masculine colour, a pastel version of red, which was associated with strength. Blue, with its intimations of the Virgin Mary, constancy and faithfulness, symbolised femininity. It was not until the mid-1980s, when amplifying age and sex differences became a dominant children’s marketing strategy, that pink fully came into its own, when it began to seem inherently attractive to girls, part of what defined them as female, at least for the first few critical years.

-女孩对于粉色的关注看起来似乎是不可避免的,似乎以某种方式蕴藏在她们的基因里了,但是根据《美国研究》 的一位副教授乔·帕雷提所说,情况并不是这样的。20 世纪初之前,孩子们的服装根本不分颜色:在家用洗衣机问世之前,从实用角度来讲,所有的婴儿都穿白色的衣服,因为唯一能让衣服干净的方法就是用水煮它们。此外,男孩和女孩都穿着人们认为是中性的衣服。当代表儿童的颜色引入时,粉色当时被认为是更有男性特征的颜色,清淡的红色让人联想到力量。蓝色,暗示圣母玛利亚的坚贞和忠诚,象征着女性气质。直到20世纪80年代中期年龄和性别差异的增大成为儿童市场的主要营销策略时,粉色才变得走俏,很受女孩们的喜欢。从那时起,至少在最初关键的那几年,粉色成为定义女性特征的一个元素。

(3/4) I had not realised how profoundly marketing trends dictated our perception of what is natural to kins, including our core beliefs about their psychological development. Take the toddler. I assumed that phase was something experts developed after years of research into children’s behaviour: wrong. Turns out, acdording to Daniel Cook, a historian of childhood consumerism, it was popularised as a marketing trick by clothing manufacrurers in the 1930s.

-我之前没有意识到,我们对孩子们天性的看法深受营销趋势的支配,包括我们对他们(指儿童)心理发展的核心概念。以蹒跚学步的儿童为例,我曾以为这是专家经过对儿童行为多年研究确定的阶段:我们错了。研究儿童消费主义的历史学家丹尼尔·库克称,它实际上是 20世纪30年代被服装制造商作为一种营销技巧而得以普及。

(4/4)Trade publications counselled department stores that, in order to increase sales, they should create a “third stepping stone” between infant wear and older kids’ clothes. It was only after “toddler” became a common shoppers’ term that it evolved into a broadly accepted developmental stage. Splitting kids, or adults, into ever-tinier categories has proved a sure-fire way to boost profits. And one of the easiest ways to segment a market is to magnify gender differences – or invent them where they did not previously exist.

-商业出版物建议百货商店:要增加销路就应该在婴儿服装和稍大一些孩子的服装之间开创“第三个跳板”。这个词成为“蹒跚学步的小孩”之后的常见销售术语,后来演变为人们普遍认可的孩子成长的一个阶段。事实已经证明:把孩子群体或成年人群体化分成更小的群体一定能使商家扩大利润。对市场进行细分最简单的方法就是放大性别差异——或者创造出一些以前就没有的差异。

文 章 结 构 简 析

第一,二段,从女性喜爱粉红色的现象引出话题,女性是不是对粉红色有天然的偏好?然后通过历史回顾,发现粉红色一开始并不是女性化的色彩,小孩子一开始也都是用白色等中性色彩。

第三段,作者说明是市场营销影响了我们,并以学步孩子的短衫为例。

最后一段,继续通过这个例子说明市场营销如何对消费者进行分类,然后提高销量。

本文建议标题:Marking tricks

选 择 题 详 解

26.By saying \”it is…the rainbow\”(Line 3, Para.1), the author means pink____.

[A]should not be the sole representation of girlhood

[B]should not be associated with girls\’ innocence

[C]cannot explain girls\’ lack of imagination

[D]cannot influence girls\’ lives and interests

26.作者讲“它仅仅是五颜六色彩虹的一小部分”,是指粉色

[A] 不应是少女时代的唯一代表

[B] 不应与女孩的纯真联系在一起

[C] 无法解释女孩缺乏想象力的事实

[D] 不会影响女孩的生活与兴趣

【答案】A

【考点】词义句意题

【解析】此类题型解题的关键是要充分合理地利用好上下文,探寻并理解上下文之间的语义相关性。根据题干,首先定位到第一段第二句,上文(第一句)说明了女孩普遍迷恋粉色这一现象。本句先肯定并不是粉色本身有什么不好,然后转折词“but”引出了“it is„the rainbow”,接下来的“though it may celebrate girlhood in one way”说明粉色只是从一方面烘托女孩的特质,这就暗示粉色只是其中一个方面,还有其它方面。由 此推出选项A为正确答案。 第一段第三句提到粉色与少女的天真联系在一起,故排除选项B。该段最后一句虽然提到少女的生活和兴趣缺乏想象力,但并未谈到粉色不能解释或者影响这种现象。选项C和选项D属于过度推理,故而排除。

27.According to Paragraph 2, which of the following is true of colours?

[A]Colours are encoded in girls\’ DNA.

[B]Blue used to be regarded as the colour for girls.

[C]Pink used to be a neutral colour in symbolising genders.

[D]White is prefered by babies.

27.根据文章第二段,下面哪个对颜色的叙述是正确的

[A] 女孩对颜色的喜好取决于基因编码

[B] 过去认为蓝色是代表女孩的颜色

[C] 在性别体现方面,粉色过去是一种中性颜色

[D] 婴儿们喜欢白色

【答案】B

【考点】判断推理题

【解析】根据第二段第五句“Blue, with its intimations of the Virgin Mary, constancy and faithfulness, symbolized femininity.”可知,蓝色暗示圣母玛利亚的坚贞和忠诚,象征着女性气质,所以选项 B 为正确答案。该段第一句提到女孩子对于粉色的关注看起来似乎是不可避免的,似乎以某种方式蕴藏在她们的基因里了,随后的 but 就对前半句给予否定,因此排除选项 A。第三句提到男孩和女孩都穿着人们认为是中性的衣服,指的是上一句提到的白色衣服,故而排除选项 C。第二句表明在家用洗衣机问世之前,所有的婴儿都穿白色的衣服,而不是现在,并且婴儿也不是因为喜欢白色才穿白色的衣服,故而排除选项 D。

28.The author suggests that our perception of children\’s psychological development was much influenced by___.

[A]the marketing of products for children

[B]the observation of children\’s nature

[C]researches into children\’s behavior

[D]studies of childhood consumption

28.作者认为我们对孩子心理成长的认知深受 的影响

[A] 儿童产品的营销策略

[B] 对儿童天性的观察

[C] 对儿童行为的研究

[D] 对儿童消费的研究

【答案】A

【考点】判断推理题

【解析】根据题干,首先定位到第三段。该段第一句话“I had not realized how profoundly marketing trends dictated our perception of what is natural to kids, including our core beliefs about their psychological development.”指出: 我没有意识到,我们对孩子们天性的看法深受营销趋势的支配,包括我们对他们心理发展的核心信念。接下来作者 通过一个例子证明这一事实,暗示了市场营销影响我们的看法,由此确定选项A为正确答案,同时排除选项B。 第三段第二句和第三句虽然提及到对儿童行为和消费的研究,但并不是作者的观点,故排除选项C和选项D。

29.We may learn from Paragraph 4 that department stores were advised to___.

[A]focus on infant wear and older kids\’ clothes

[B]attach equal importance to different genders

[C]classify consumers into smaller groups

[D]create some common shoppers\’ terms

29.从文章第四段我们可以得知,商场被建议

[A] 重视婴儿服装和大童服装

[B] 不同性别同等重视

[C] 对消费群体进行细分

[D] 创造一些通用的购物术语

【答案】C

【考点】具体信息题

【解析】根据题干,首先定位到第四段。该段首句提到,贸易刊物建议百货商店:要增加销路就应该在婴儿服装和稍大的一些孩子的服装之间开创“第三个跳板”。接下来在第三句作者又指出,将小孩或者成人分成更小的类别已被证明是提高利润的绝佳方法,所以选项C为正确答案,同时排除选项 A。本段并未谈及对于不同性别的人群给予同样的重视,因此排除选项 B。第二句中“常见的购物者术语”指的是“第三个跳板”,并非给百货商店的建议,故排除选项 D

30.It can be concluded that girls\’ attraction to pink seems to be___.

[A] clearly explained by their inborn tendency

[B]fully understood by clothing manufacturers

[C] mainly imposed by profit-driven businessmen

[D]well interpreted by psychological experts

30.可以得出这样的结论,女孩子对粉红色的迷恋似乎

[A] 明显可由她们与生俱来的偏好解释

[B] 被服装生产商深为洞悉

[C] 主要受追逐利润的商人的影响

[D] 已被心理学家充分诠释

【答案】C

【考点】判断推理题

【解析】第二段最后一句话谈到,当年龄增大和性别差异成为儿童市场的主要营销策略时,粉色才完全被人 所认识。紧接着第三段又谈到市场营销以及服装制造商对我们看法的影响,由此推出选项C为正确答案。同时排除选项 B,且该选项过于绝对化。第二段第一句提到女孩对于粉色的关注似乎就蕴藏在她们的基因里,但是根据《美国研究》的一位副教授乔·帕雷提所说,情况并不是这样,所以排除选项 A。第三段第二句提到作者本以为“蹒跚学步的儿童”这个阶段是专家经过多年研究儿童的行为才发现的,但后来发现他这一认识错了,因此排除选项 D。
