问题     Young women who take part in beauty contests (比赛) are helping to keep alive an outdated opinion of women: that a woman’ s most important value is how she looks.
    Women have been working very hard through the years to change their image (形象). They have been trying to prove that the value of a woman does not lie only in her beauty. The world is just beginning to recognize that women are as smart, wise and strong in personality as men are, and that there are qualities more important than looks when judging people. When women take part in beauty contests for top prizes, they encourage people to value them for their beauty alone. It is unfair to say that beauty alone determines one’s worth.
    Beauty contests not only encourage spectators(观众) to judge women by their appearance, but they encourage this idea in the contestants as well. These young women spend months losing weight to be the " right" size and learning how to dress, wear makeup, and walk just right so that some judges will consider them beautiful. I think it’s great for a woman to feel good about her appearance, but looks shouldn’ t be sought after in an extreme or unreasonable way. There are too many other, more important, things in a young woman’s life: learning, developing friendships and preparing for their future work and perhaps a family.
    As long as there are beauty contests, women won’ t be fully recognized as well-rounded human beings.
What can we infer from the text?

选项 A、Looks determine everything.
B、Wisdom carries much weight.
C、Spectators should have their voices heard.
D、Qualities other than looks are more important.

答案D

解析 推理题。题干意为“从文章我们能推理出什么?”。根据文章内容,我们可以推断出作者是不赞成选美比赛的,因为选美比赛都是以貌取人,而不是根据品质评价女性。故D正确。
