6、es they can make even bigger changes.AactiveBeffectiveCcomprehensiveDproductive【正确答案】：B【本题分数】：1.0分【答案解析】精析 本题考查形容词的用法。active积极的；effective有效的；comprehensive易理解的，全面的；productive多产的；这里说的是“最有效的减肥方法”。故选B。第2题 AThenBStillCMoreoverDBut【正确答案】：D【本题分数】：1.0分【答案解析】精析 本题考查连词的用法。then当时，然后；still还，仍，更；尽管如此；moreover而且，
7、此外；but而是，但是。前面说“with a combination”，从后文的“on one or another”可以推测前后文是转折关系。故选but。第3题 Agrown-upBwould-beCpoorDunfortunate【正确答案】：B【本题分数】：1.0分【答案解析】精析 本题考查语境的把握。would-be表示“想要的人”，此处表示“想要减肥的人”。类似的短语有“a would-be learner想上学的人”，“a would-be suicide未遂的自杀”。第4题 AconcentrateBdwellCinsistDstress【正确答案】：A【本题分数】：1.0分【答
8、案解析】精析 本题考查对上下文语义的综合理解。concentrate on集中，全神贯注于；dwell on细想，详述；insist on坚持，坚决要求； stress on着重，强调。前文说到“with a combination”，指的是把节食和做运动结合起来。由上题可知后面的意思与前文相反，所以应该是说把注意力集中在其中一种方法上。故选A。第5题 AchangingBcombiningCdevelopingDpracticing【正确答案】：A【本题分数】：1.0分【答案解析】精析 本题考查动宾搭配。change改变；combine结合；develop发展，建立；practice练习；c
9、ombine常用于combine A with B/ combine A and B结构，故应排除。此空后面所接宾语everything的指代对象是“饮食，生活习惯”，饮食和生活习惯只能是“改变”而不可能是“发展或者练习”。故选A。第6题 AHowBWhenCWhereDWhy【正确答案】：A【本题分数】：1.0分【答案解析】精析 本题考查语境的把握。这段话都在说两种减肥的方法，所以此处的两个问题应该与采取哪种减肥方式有关，且后面的问题也给出了线索，对方式的提问常用how，故选A。第7题 AalternativeBanswerCchoiceDsolution【正确答案】：B【本题分数】：1.0
10、分【答案解析】精析 本题考查上下文语义的衔接，应该结合前文来看，这里是承接上文最后提出的两个问题的，所以此空应选择与ask相对的 answer。故选B。第8题 AachieveBacquireCaddressDadopt【正确答案】：A【本题分数】：1.0分【答案解析】精析 本题考查动词的用法。achieve取得成就，达到；acquire获得，得到；address向致辞，演说；adopt采纳，收养。文章的意思是“想要达到什么目的”，故选A。第9题 AsettledBorganizedCformedDcomposed【正确答案】：B【本题分数】：1.0分【答案解析】精析 本题考查主谓搭配。set
11、tle解决，定居；organize组织，安排；form形成；compose由组成。此处应填动词的主语是life (生活)，能与之搭配的只有organize。故选B。第10题 AeventuallyBhardCcompletelyDfast【正确答案】：D【本题分数】：1.0分【答案解析】精析 本题考查对语境的把握。从前面的hurry可知这句话的意思是“急于减肥，想要快速减肥”，四个选项中与hurry意思一致的是fast。故选D。第11题 AsummaryBresearchCinspectionDsurvey【正确答案】：B【本题分数】：1.0分【答案解析】精析 本题考查词语的辨析。summar
12、y总结；research研究；inspection检查，检测；survey调查。这里讲的是数十年的研究。故选B。第12题 AconfusedBtroubledCconcernedDacquainted【正确答案】：A【本题分数】：1.0分【答案解析】精析 本题考查固定短语。confuse with混淆，迷惑；trouble为及物动词，后面不与with搭配；be concerned with与有关；ac quaint with熟悉，了解。这里表达的意思是“注重/在意自己的体型”，故A正确。第13题 AexerciseBoperationCdietDactivity【正确答案】：A【本题分数】：1
13、.0分【答案解析】精析 本题考查上下文语义的衔接。文章共介绍了节食和做运动两种减肥方式，前文已经介绍了节食的效果，所以这里该说做运动会有什么效果了。故选A。第14题 AdischargeBconsumeCdigestDburn【正确答案】：B【本题分数】：1.0分【答案解析】精析 本题考查动宾搭配。discharge卸下，放出；consume消费，消耗；digest消化；burn燃烧。burn为不及物动词，后面不能直接跟宾语，故排除。A、B、C三项中只有consume能与fat搭配，表示“消耗脂肪”，故B正确。第15题 AActivistsBPractitionersCDietersDExer
14、cisers【正确答案】：C【本题分数】：1.0分【答案解析】精析 本题考查语境的把握。前文说做运动会消耗脂肪增长肌肉，而此空后面说既会减掉脂肪也会减掉肌肉组织，由此可知作者是在将两种减肥方法的效果进行比较，故这里选dieter (节食者)。第16题 AsimplestBbestCeasiestDquickest【正确答案】：B【本题分数】：1.0分【答案解析】精析 本题考查语境的把握。由后面的适合自己生活方式的方法推断出应为最好的方法。故选B。第17题 AfailedBaimedCpausedDarrived【正确答案】：A【本题分数】：1.0分【答案解析】精析 本题考查上下文语义的衔接。f
15、ail失败；aim以为目标；pause暂停；arrive到达。从后文“consider the other”可以推测出前面所用的方法失败了。故选A。第18题 AeverBrarelyCneverDnearly【正确答案】：C【本题分数】：1.0分【答案解析】精析 本题考查对语境的把握。由前面的disappointed可知后面是否定，never从未，永不；符合题意。故选C。第19题 ANaturallyBSimplyCAlmostDEven【正确答案】：D【本题分数】：1.0分【答案解析】精析 本题考查副词的用法。naturally自然地；simply简单地； almost几乎，差不多。从语气来
16、看，这里表示一种强调的语气， even作副词表示“甚至”，有加强语气的作用。故选D。第20题 AreserveBregainCreturnDrecover【正确答案】：B【本题分数】：1.0分【答案解析】精析 本题考查动词的用法。reserve保留；regain重新获得；re turn返回，还回；recover恢复。结合文意，这里说的是“帮助人们重建信心”。故选B。二、Reading Comprehension（共15小题,共30.0分）Read the following three textsAnswer the questions on each text by choosing A,

18、re. Times of great change always bring out the risk-takers, he said. And they leave winners and losers.

19、ppen to anybody! I must continue. At that time CD-ROM sales had bombed, so investors were fleeing from the field. I didn t turn away from mine entirely, but instead linked it to the Internet.

24、总资金的四分之三，计算可得总资金是 400，000美元。故选B。第2题 Arthur implies that to start a business in times of change, people have to _.Arely on famous people all the timeBinvest as much money as possibleCface the risks of possible failureDthink about nothing but success【正确答案】：C【本题分数】：2.0分【答案解析】精析 细节题。从第三段Arthur所说的话“they

28、ildren!”可知，作者如果向投机资本家借钱的话就会失去自己的妻子和孩子，由此可推测出向投机资本家借钱有很大的风险。故选A。第6题 When we think about happiness, we usually think of something extraordinary, a peak of great delight-and those peaks seem to get rarer the older we get. For a child, happiness has a magical quality. I remember making hide-outs in newl
29、y cut hay, playing cops and robbers in the woods, getting a speaking part in the school play.

30、es. Suddenly it s conditional on such things as excitement, love, and popularity. I can still feel the agony of not being invited to a party that almost everyone else was going to. But I also recall the great happiness of being invited at another event to dance with a very handsome young man.
