答案与解析

1．down close down 意为“关闭，倒闭”。

2．covering cover 在此为及物动词，意为“占(一片面积)”，与其逻辑主语China 之间是主谓关系，故用现在分词形式。

7．about/of be sceptical of/about sth. 怀疑某事。

8．whom 该定语从句的先行词指人，且most of__________在从句中充当主语，空处位于介词后，故用whom。

答案与解析

这是一篇记叙文。作者一直想减肥，但是都没有成功。后来她又开始减肥，但是这次的目的不同：减肥的同时，为流浪儿童募捐。以这个目标为动力，作者终于减肥成功并做了一件有意义的事。

1．C 根据下文中的“to make myself feel better”可知，作者用食物扼杀(kill)自己的坏心情。增加(add)，混合(mix)，分享(share)，都与语境不符。

2．A 作者担心自己的健康，为了控制饮食和体重试过许多种节食(diets)的办法。饮料(drinks)，水果(fruits)，菜肴(dishes)，都不符合语境。

3．D 作者担忧自己的健康问题，但许多节食办法都没用，于是觉得对自己的体重(weight)没办法了。

4．C 作者50岁的时候，体重问题更加突出，严重地(seriously)影响作者的健康。暂时地(temporarily)，最近(recently)，偷偷地(secretly)，都与语境不符。

5．B 上文说到作者饱受自己体重问题的困扰，因此这里用形容词extra表示“额外的”，作者决心要开始甩掉身上多余的肉。

6．A 从选项的词义和搭配看，这里应该用动词attended与seminar(研讨会)搭配，

3

4 表示作者参加了一个研讨会。

7．B 研讨会的一个领导者讲述自己不仅减重125磅，还为流浪儿童募集了两万五千美元，这是一个成功(success)的故事。folk“民谣”，adventure “历险”，science “科学”，都不符合语境。

8．C 作者受到这个领导者的故事的影响“Influenced”，创立了一个项目。使惊奇“Surprised”，逗笑“Amused”，打扰“Disturbed”，都不符合语境。

9．A 这是作者创立的一个项目，因此用名词project 表示“项目，方案”，“projec t”在下文多处被提到。

10．D 作者的目标是减重150磅并募集五万美元来支持一项开始于30年前的旨在结束饥饿的运动，因此用in support of 表示“支持”。in search of“寻找”；in need of“需要”；in place of“代替”。

11．D 把个人的减肥与帮助解决世界问题结合起来，这让作者觉得这是完美的解决办法，动词strike 可以表示“(以某种方式)给某人留下印象”，因此选D 。注意动词strike 的熟词生义，注意掌握其常见用法。

12．A As 引导时间状语从句表示“当……的时候”，这里说的是当作者开始实施自己的减肥计划的时候，又担心这次会遇到(run into)和以前减肥中一样的困难。

13．B run into 表示“遇到”，与后面的difficulties 呼应，表示“遇到困难”。

14．D 上文提到作者的担心，害怕会遇到先前的那些困难，因此选D 表示“害怕”。

15．C While 引导让步状语从句表示“尽管”，这里表示作者觉得自己这次走在正确的道路(path)上，因此选C 。

16．B 这里表示捐款大量涌来，flood 在此用作动词表示”涌进”，符合语境。

17．D 这里说的是作者饮食的变化，吃得少，而且吃得很健康(healthy)。吃得很多(heavy)，吃得很饱(full)，吃的东西很贵(expensive)，都不符合语境。

18．A 作者经常锻炼，regularly 表示“有规律地，经常地”。

19．B 这里说的是作者一年之后实现(reached)了自己先前设定的目标，因此选B 。

20．C 作者在这里发出感慨，自己在减肥的同时做了一件有意义的事：为流浪儿童募捐，因此选C 。
