Question

【題目】 Are visible tattoos an invitation to stare at a person? A blog post on LinkedIn titled “But You Asked Me to Stare At Your Tattoos” is causing debate after its author declared that if someone has a visible tattoo, they are inviting attention on themselves.

The magazine columnist Jeff Haden writes that while in a meeting recently, he met a man with a full sleeve tattoo. After looking at his body art for “a couple of seconds”, the man asked Haden, “Would it be easier if you just took a picture?” Haden goes on to write, “You have this huge, colorful, incredibly eye-catching tattoo. And you’re wearing a shirt with unusually short sleeves. It’s like you’re paraphrasing Jack Nicholson in A Few Good Men: ‘You want me to see your tattoo. You need me to see your tattoo.’”

But not everyone who has a visible tattoo thinks about it when getting dressed in the morning, replied some commenters. For those with tattoos, they often become a part of the person. “For most people who have had their tattoos, it isn’t something that you think about with any frequency. I don’t even notice it as ‘different’. It’s just a part of you - like grey hair or a large nose.” Writes Kristen Stine. “People say to me ‘What’s that?’, pointing at my arm. I often get flustered expecting to see a bug when I look down. However, I just see my arm.”

Still others agree with Haden and say that visible tattoos have no place in the workplace. “If you don’t want people to stare, wear a long sleeve shirt in this air-conditioned office. Clearly you want people to stare,” writes Mike Avelar.

Haden closes his piece with the following: “Make a statement with your apparel, your tattoos, your piercings or your actions. I think it’s great. Just don’t get mad when people look for a bit longer than usual… and occasionally even stare. That must be your intention. After all - you invited us to.”

這是一篇議論文。LinkedIn上一篇題為“但你讓我盯著你的紋身看”的博文引起了爭議，因為它的作者宣稱，如果一個人有明顯的紋身，那他就是在吸引別人的注意力。文章列舉了不同的人對人們身上有紋身的看法。

【1】主旨大意題。根據(jù)第一段中A blog post on LinkedIn titled “But You Asked Me to Stare At Your Tattoos” is causing debate after its author declared that if someone has a visible tattoo, they are inviting attention on themselves.可知 LinkedIn上一篇題為“但你讓我盯著你的紋身看”的博文引起了爭議，因為它的作者宣稱，如果一個人有明顯的紋身，那他就是在吸引別人的注意力。結(jié)合文章主要列舉了不同的人對人們身上有紋身的看法。由此可知，文章主要是關(guān)于一場紋身的熱議。故選B。

【2】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中Haden goes on to write, “You have this huge, colorful, incredibly eye-catching tattoo…It’s like you’re paraphrasing Jack Nicholson in A Few Good Men: ‘You want me to see your tattoo. You need me to see your tattoo.’”可知Haden繼續(xù)寫道，“你有一個巨大的、五顏六色的、非常引人注目的紋身……就像你在A Few Good Men中對Jack Nicholson的解釋：“你想讓我看到你的紋身。你需要我看到你的紋身�！庇纱丝芍�，Jeff Haden認為有紋身的人希望吸引起別人的注意力。故選B。

【3】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段中I don’t even notice it as ‘different’. It’s just a part of you - like grey hair or a large nose Writes Kristen Stine. “People say to me ‘What’s that?’, pointing at my arm. I often get flustered expecting to see a bug when I look down. However, I just see my arm.”可知，我甚至沒有注意到它是“不同的”。它只是你的一部分——就像白發(fā)或大鼻子Kristen Stine寫道�！叭藗冎钢�我的胳膊問我‘那是什么?’，當我往下看的時候，我經(jīng)常感到慌亂，以為會看到一只蟲子。然而，我只看到我的手臂。”由此可知，Kristen Stine不太注意紋身。故選D。

【4】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段Still others agree with Haden and say that visible tattoos have no place in the workplace. “If you don’t want people to stare, wear a long sleeve shirt in this air-conditioned office. Clearly you want people to stare,” writes Mike Avelar.可知還有一些人同意Haden的觀點，認為可見的紋身不該出現(xiàn)在工作場所。“如果你不想讓別人盯著你看，那就在這個有空調(diào)的辦公室里穿件長袖襯衫。很明顯你想讓人們盯著你看，” Mike Avelar寫道。由此可知，Mike Avelar認為人們不應該在工作場所露出紋身。故選B。
