17、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。A.ThenB.StillC.MoreoverD.But 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，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。A.grown-upB.would-be C.poorD.unfortunate解析：精析 本题考查语
18、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”。A.concentrate B.dwellC.insistD.stress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
19、一种方法上。故选 A。A.changing B.combiningC.developingD.practicing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；combine 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。A.How B.WhenC.WhereD.Why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
20、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。A.alternativeB.answer C.choiceD.solution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。A.achieve B.acquireC.addressD.adopt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。A.settl
21、edB.organized C.formedD.composed解析：精析 本题考查主谓搭配。settle 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。A.eventuallyB.hardC.completelyD.fast 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。A.summaryB.research C.inspectionD.survey解析：
22、精析 本题考查词语的辨析。summary 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。A.confused B.troubledC.concernedD.acquainted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。A.exercise B.operationC.dietD.activity解析：精析
23、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。A.dischargeB.consume C.digestD.burn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。A.ActivistsB.PractitionersC.Dieters D.Exercisers解析：精析 本题考查语境的把握
24、。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)。A.simplestB.best C.easiestD.quickest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。A.failed B.aimedC.pausedD.arrived解析：精析 本题考查上下文语义的衔接。fail 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。A.everB
25、.rarelyC.never D.nearly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。A.NaturallyB.SimplyC.AlmostD.Even 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。A.reserveB.regain C.returnD.recover解析：精析 本题考查动词的用法。reserve 保留；regain 重新获得；
26、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、BSection Readi(总题数：5，分数：10.00)21.When the author s company started operation, he had _.（分数：2.00）A.$ 450,000B.$ 400,000 C.$ 350,000D.$ 300,000解析：精析 推理题。本题需要就第一段提供的数据进行计算。作者说每月花 75，000 美元，四个月之后账户里只剩下四分之一的资金。由此我们用 75，000 乘以 4 得出的 300，000 美元应该是总共用掉的钱，
27、这个数额占总资金的四分之三，计算可得总资金是 400，000 美元。故选 B。22.Arthur implies that to start a business in times of change, people have to _.（分数：2.00）A.rely on famous people all the timeB.invest as much money as possibleC.face the risks of possible failure D.think about nothing but success解析：精析 细节题。从第三段 Arthur 所说的话“they
28、leave winners and losers(不是成功就是失败)”可以看出，前面所说的事情是有风险的。故选 C。23.The author s company was engaged in _.（分数：2.00）A.furniture design and productionB.online home-design service C.traditional home designingD.home decoration business解析：精析 推理题。从文章第六段第一句话“offer consumers descriptions of home-design products”以及
29、后面的“have their houses built，decorated and furnished”可知，选项 A、D 都只是公司业务的一部分，C 项文中没有提及，只有 B 项才是完整的答案。24.Faced with a very unfavorable market situation, the author decided _.（分数：2.00）A.to improve his service B.to start a new businessC.to withdraw his moneyD.to reduce his investment解析：精析 细节题。由文章第五段第二句“I
30、didnt turn away from mine entirely，but instead linked it to the Internet”可知，作者没有放弃而是开辟了新的路径，这与 A 项表述一致。25.It is implied that venture capital is often _.（分数：2.00）A.risky B.timelyC.secureD.abundant解析：精析 推理题。由文章倒数第五段倒数第二句“to get this money from a VC is going to cost my wife and my children!”可知，作者如果向投机资
31、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。三、BText 2/B(总题数：5，分数：10.00)26.According to the author, happiness lies in the ability to _.（分数：2.00）A.think of something extraordinaryB.experience delight at an old ageC.feel the magic quality of pleasureD.enjoy what one has at the moment 解析：精析 细节题。由文章最后一句
32、“Its not wishing for what we dont have，but enjoying what we do possess”可知，快乐是要享受我们所拥有的，与此对应的选项是 D。27.According to the passage, a teenager looks at happiness mainly in terms of _.（分数：2.00）A.material gainsB.social distinctionC.spiritual satisfaction D.academic achievements解析：精析 推理题。文章提到 teenager 的是第三段
33、，所以本题由第三段推断。第三段第二句说青少年的快乐以兴奋、爱和受欢迎的程度为条件，这些都是精神方面的。故选 C。28.As is suggested in the passage, failure to feel happy often results from _.（分数：2.00）A.lack of company of friendsB.lack of freedom to love and be lovedC.taking everything one has for granted D.ignoring the choices one is given in life解析：精析 推理
34、题。从文章倒数第二段“The more we can enjoy what we have，the happier we are”和“Its easy to overlook the pleasure we get from loving and being loved，the company of friends”可知，我们并没有把生活中的普通事情当成快乐的条件，换句话说，就是我们忽略了生活中那些可以带给我们快乐的事情，不把它们看作是快乐的源泉，而把一切当作是理所当然的。故选 C。29.The author implies that when one chases wealth and fi
35、nally gets it _.（分数：2.00）A.he can realize what happiness isB.he may not end up with happiness C.he may consider it extreme happinessD.he should not feel content with himself解析：精析 推理题。此题答案可从文章倒数第二段最后一句话推测出来。这句话前半部分说我们追求财富和成功，以为那就是快乐，却没注意到那些拥有财富和成功的人并不一定快乐。说明追求财富和成功并不等于就能拥有快乐。故选 B。30.The passage aims
36、to tell _.（分数：2.00）A.the real meaning of happiness B.the great importance of happinessC.the constant pursuit of happinessD.the changing concept of happiness解析：精析 主旨题。本题考查考生对全文的整体理解。文章列举了我们关于快乐的普遍观点，而后对其错误之处进行了剖析，旨在纠正我们对快乐含义的误解(例如不把生活中的普通事情看作是快乐)，告诉我们什么才是真正的快乐。故选 A。四、BText 3/B(总题数：5，分数：10.00)31.The w
37、ord “like“ in an ad often focuses the consumer s attention on _.（分数：2.00）A.what the advertiser says about the product B.what magic the product really possessesC.why the advertiser promotes the productD.why the product is as good as promised解析：精析 细节题。由文章第一段第三句“Likegets you to ignore the product and c
38、oncentrate on the claim the advertiser is making a bout it”可知，“like”一词将观众的注意力集中在了广告词上。故选 A。32.The author suggests that language in ads should be understood _.（分数：2.00）A.according to its dictionary definition B.according to its contextsC.imaginativelyD.impartially解析：精析 细节题。从文章第一段倒数第三句“Remember，ads mu
39、st be read exactly according to the dictionary definition of words”可见，作者认为观众应该根据字典的解释来看待广告词，故 A正确。33.To promote sales, advertisers often exploit consumers _.（分数：2.00）A.economic statusB.practical needC.emotional need D.social status解析：精析 推理题。本题应从第二段推测，第二段主要意思是广告怎样使你沉浸在美好的想象中，且从文章的用词(pleasant，romantic
40、)我们可知，所产生的联想都是与精神和情绪有关的。故 C 正确。34.Advertisers often use ambiguous language to _.（分数：2.00）A.promise excellent qualityB.cash in on grammatical errorsC.appeal to consumers rational judgmentsD.take advantage of consumers imagination 解析：精析 推理题。题干为“广告商通常使用暖昧、不明确的语言来”，本文说的是广告词使观众产生联想，与此有关的选项是 D。35.The best
41、 title for the passage would be _.（分数：2.00）A.The Magic of “Like“ in AdvertisingB.The Promise of “Like“ in AdvertisingC.The Definition of “Like“ in AdvertisingD.The Application of “Like“ in Advertising 解析：精析 主旨题。文章主要说的是“像”一词在广告词中的应用， B，C 与文意无关。且从作者的语气我们可以判断作者对广告商的这种做法是持反对态度的，从而排除 A。故选 D。五、BPart B/B(总
42、题数：5，分数：5.00)36.Patricia（分数：1.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：F）解析：精析 细节题。第一段文章作者对自己旅行的感觉的描述有“exhausted”“I think we had a great time”。这与 F 项的表述一致。37.Davis（分数：1.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：D）解析：精析 推理题。第二段第四句说自己平时不太擅长跟陌生人说话，所以这种旅行对他有好处，说明旅程给他提供了与人交往的机会。这与 D 项表述一致。38.Jenise（分数：1.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：A）解析：精析 细节题。由文章第三段第二句“Ill probab
43、ly choose to do something else”可知作者大概会选择做一些别的事情。这与 A 项表述一致。39.Nigel（分数：1.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：G）解析：精析 推理题。第四段最后一句话说他可以选择晚上坐车，这样就省了住宿费。说明买青年票旅行能节约钱。这与 G 项表述致。40.Hawk（分数：1.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：B）解析：精析 推理题。最后一段话说很多人都只去著名的景点而忽略了小地方，作者自己经常去一些小村庄，这些地方往往很有趣所以他看的东西是别人没看到的。这与 B 项表述一致。六、BSection Writi(总题数：2，分数：30.00)
