Heredity is not the only thing that influences our color. Where and how we live after we are born is important too. For instance, our skin color greatly depends on how much sunshine we get.
Centuries ago, most people in Europe were peasants and had to work in the fields all day. On the other hand, noblemen did not have to work. They stayed indoors and remained pale. You could always tell a nobleman from a peasant because the peasant had a tan. As a result, noblewomen did their best to keep their skins as light as possible. A skin so pale was considered a mark of great beauty and nobleness.
During the Industrial Revolution, farmers left their fields and went to work in factories, mines and mills. Working for long hours in those dark places makes their skins pale. Wealthy people, however, could afford to travel to sunny countries. They lay around on the beaches and got a tan, which became a sign of wealth. In Western Europe and North America pale skin is no longer desirable. The desire for a quick tan has led to the invention of pills that darken the skin without exposure to sunlight.
So there are three answers to the question "Where does our color come from?" — It comes from the genes we inherit. It comes from the conditions in which we live. And it can come from a bottle that we buy at the drugstore on the corner.
Questions:
26. Why did noblewomen in Europe do their best to keep their color as light as possible?
27. Who were the people having a tan according to the passage?
28. What does the passage mainly tell us?
选项
A、People without exposure to sunlight.
B、Wealthy people in Europe centuries ago.
C、Workers during the Industrial Revolution.
D、Wealthy people during the Industrial Revolution.
答案
D
解析
细节题。本题问“哪些人会被晒黑?”文中提到Wealthy people,however,could afford to travel tosunny countries.They lay around on the beaches and got a tan,which became a sign of wealth.(有钱人去阳光充足的国家旅行,他们在沙滩上躺着,皮肤被晒黑了,成为富有的象征。)tan指日晒后的颜色.选项A是说没有得到日晒的人容易被晒黑,这不符合逻辑;选项B是说几个世纪前的欧洲贵族容易被晒黑,这与原文恰恰相反,他们是因为足不出户而皮肤洁白;选项C是说工业革命时期的工人容易被晒黑,而原文却说工人长时间在光线昏暗的地方工作,皮肤变得很苍白,所以不正确。因此答案是D。
