If women are mercilessly (无情地) exploited year after year, they have only themselves to blame. Because they tremble at the thought of being seen in public in clothes that are out of fashion, they are always taken advantage of by the designers and the big store.
Changing fashions are nothing more than the intentional creation of waste. Many women spend vast sums of money each year to replace clothes that have hardly been worn. Women who cannot afford to throw away clothing in this way, waste hours of their time altering the dresses they have. Skirts are lengthened or shortened; neck-lines are lowered or raised, and so on.
No one can claim that the fashion industry contributes anything really important to society. Fashion designers are rarely concerned with vital things like warmth, comfort and durability. They are only interested in outward appearance and they take advantage of the fact that women will put up with any amount of discomfort, as long as they look right. There can hardly be a man who hasn’t at some time in his life smiled at the sight of a woman shaking in a thin dress on a winter day, or delicately picking her way through deep snow in high-heeled shoes.
When comparing men and women in the matter of fashion, the conclusions to be drawn are obvious. Do the constantly changing fashions of women’s clothes, one wonders, reflect basic qualities of inconstancy (反复无常) and instability? Men are too clever to let themselves be cheated by fashion designers. Do their unchanging styles of dress reflect basic qualities of stability and reliability? That is for you to decide.
According to the passage, which of the following statements is tree?
选项
A、New fashions in clothing are created for the commercial exploitation of women.
B、The constant changes in women’s clothing reflect their strength of character.
C、The fashion industry makes an important contribution to society.
D、Fashion designs should not be encouraged since they are only welcomed by women.
答案
A
解析
B项与文章内容不符,可以先排除掉。C项与D项原文没有提及。文章第一句就说妇女如何受到“无情剥削”,最后两段通过男女在服装方面的态度对比,更加论证了这一点。因此,A项是正确答案。
