Children with oily skin are more likely to have pimples or blackheads on their faces, backs, or chests. Acne is caused by the clogging of oil glands beneath the skin. Under the influence of hormones active in adolescents, the oil glands malfunction and oil gets clogged in the pores. An inflammation develops in the skin, and bacteria move in, creating an infection. The common pimple is the consequence of this process. Although careful cleansing of the skin cannot always prevent acne, excessive dirt will certainly worsen it. Thus, it is important to keep the skin clean because it helps to reduce the bacteria count and weaken the infection process. You should keep in mind that greases and creams on the skin worsen the problem. The face should be gently cleansed twice a day with lukewarm water and a mild soap or cleanser to remove skin oils and keratin plugs. Using a soap or cleanser can effectively remove skin oil and decrease the number of bacteria living on the skin. As to the cleanser, it is suggested that you don’t use an abrasive cleanser, cleansing puff, or washcloth. These can irritate the skin and lead to breakouts. Steam may help open clogged pores, so dermatologists suggest that hot compresses are helpful. They also suggest hygiene and the use of medications. However, there is no mention of keeping a diet. One report contrary to the popular belief is that chocolate has little to do with worsening of acne. 41. What is the passage mainly about? (A) Acne and pimples on oily skin. (B) Formation and treatment of acne. (C) Cleaning and hot compresses for oily skin. (D) Cleansing and diet for treating acne. 42.

Which of the following statements is NOT true? (A) The clogging of oil glands results in acne under the skin. (B) The common pimple results from clogging pores and infection. (C) Chocolate bars are closely-related to the worsening of acne. (D) Besides hygiene, medications can be applied to prevent acne. 44. In the skin cleansing, it is suggested that . (A) the face be scrubbed with an abrasive soap twice a day (B) the face be cleansed effectively only with lukewarm water (C) washcloth and cleansing puff be used to cleanse the face to prevent breakouts (D) mild cleanser be used to remove skin oil effectively 45.

(7) 101-5 共同考科. 英文. ▲閱讀下文，回答第 46-50 題。 First published in 1900, the Michelin Guide was conceived by brothers Andre and Edouard Michelin in France. The primitive aim was to encourage the development of the automobile industry and to increase the demand of Michelin tires and other products. The small blue guides were distributed free of charge to motorists. They improve travelers’ mobility by offering information on petrol stations, garages for different marques, where to find supplies and parts, and where to find meals and accommodations. When Andre Michelin found that the guide was used to prop up a workbench in a tire merchant’s shop, he decided to charge 7 franc for the guide. In 1933, the Michelin brothers introduced countrywide French restaurant listings and star system for ranking food. The guide awards one to three stars to restaurants deserving recognition for the excellence of their cooking. Such awards are rare and highly coveted. One star means “very good cuisine in its category,” a good place to stop while traveling; two stars indicates “excellent cooking, worth a detour,” and three stars refers to “exceptional cuisine, worth a special journey.” Only one in five thousand restaurants is likely to receive the three stars. According to Michelin Guide, a team of anonymous inspectors evaluate restaurants regularly based on a rigorous set of criteria: the quality of ingredients, the skill in the preparation and the combination of flavors, the level of creativity, the value for money, and the consistency of culinary standards. To have the validity of the rating system, the Michelin full-time professional inspectors do not identify themselves, and their meals are paid by the company. Also, they are strongly advised not to disclose their undercover job even to their parents. Over the years, the Michelin Guide has developed to become the benchmark in gourmet dining. Its collection had 27 guide books covering 23 countries on three continents with over 45,000 worldwide addresses. It is definitely the most revered and reliable guide of defining excellence in the culinary world. 46. What is the best title of the passage? (A) The Michelin Brothers’ Achievement in France (B) The Michelin Inspectors’ Gourmet Dining (C) The Rating System of the Michelin Guide (D) The Development of the Michelin Guide 47.
