Ⅶ.阅读理解
Doctors say obesity，also known as severe overweight，is a
complex condition. A doctor may advise medical interventions(医疗干预) in addition to changes in behavior. But experts say the more successful
weight-loss plans include a well-balanced diet and exercise.
People who want to avoid weight gain have to balance the number of calories they eat with the number of calories they use. To lose weight，you can reduce the number of calories you take in，or increase the number you use，or both. Experts at the National Institutes of Health say to lose weight，a person should do some moderate or intensive physical exercise
most days of the week. This could include fast walking，sports or strength training.
A recent study looked at four of the most popular dieting plans in the United States. Researchers at Stanford University studied more than three hundred overweight women，mostly in their thirties or forties. Each woman went on one of the four plans: Atkins，The Zone，Ornish or LEARN. The women attended diet classes and received written information about the food plans. At the end of a year，the women on the Atkins diet had lost the most，more than four and a half kilograms on average.
Christopher Gardner led the study，reported in the Journal of the American Medical Association. He said the Atkins diet may be more successful because of its simple message to lower the intake of sugar. Also，he said the advice to increase protein in the diet leads to more satisfying meals.
But last week，another report suggested that only a small minority of people have long-term
success in dieting. Researchers at the University of California found that most dieters regained their lost weight within five years. And often they gained back even more. But those who kept the weight off generally were the ones who exercised.
1．All the following is helpful to lose weight except ________. A．a healthy diet B．physical exercise C．medical interventions D．being polite to others
2．You are most likely to gain too much weight if ________. A．you eat the same number of calories as the number you use B．you take in less calories than the number you use C．you take in more calories than the number you use D．you take exercise regularly on the weekdays
3．The third paragraph mainly tells us that ________. A．there are four popular dieting plans in the USA
B．the Atkins diet has the best effect on losing weight C．lots of women attended diet classes every day D．dieting plan is the most important
4．Which one of the followings is NOT right according to this passage? A．The change of your life habits can help you lose weight. B．You’d better exercise once a week to lose some weight.
C．The Atkins diet may be good because of lowering the intake of sugar. D．Some people gain weight back for their unhealthy diet.
5．Which one of the followings is the best title for this passage? A．Successful weight-loss plans
B．Four popular dieting plans C．What is the Atkins diet?
D．Few people fail in losing weight Ⅷ.任务型读写/任务型阅读
I used to be the messiest person alive. Over the years, through watching others and by trial and error, I have finally found ways to come up with plans, organize them and follow through with them.
Make an outline of everything you need to have and do to make your plan happen. Make a list of all of the steps that need to be followed and think about what need to be done.
Detail everything thoroughly and read it over so you can start coming up with some ways of how to carry out your plans. You should ensure that different ways are needed at hand. Therefore, if for some reason one way doesn’t work, one of the other ones will.
Committing yourself to finishing at least part if not all of your plan at once is also necessary. If you make a promise to yourself to finish before a specific time, make sure that you carry that out, and be sure to do everything within the time frame you set for yourself.
Don’t try to deal with more things all at a time. All that does is to delay your progress, distract you and make you lose your interest, motivation and energy.
Carrying out an effective plan requires being as organized as possible. You will only achieve this by sticking to the order of the plan and not deviating or trying to do more at a time.
Last but not the least, you should never give up things mid-project. It will only annoy
everyone around you including yourself.
So, don’t be afraid of organization. The older we get, the more necessary it becomes to have the skills necessary to follow through with confidence and to be able to carry through plans in an organized and manageable way. It pays to be organized, after all.

内容解读
中国有句老话“过了这个村，就没这个店”，意思是说机会稍纵即逝。故事中的男子想娶农场主的女儿，但他浪费了机会，最终没能娶到心仪的姑娘。
1．D [从下文的make the proposal可知，这个年轻人想要娶(marry)农场主漂亮的女儿。] 2．A [从常识可知，农场主的女儿肯定生活在farm(农场)，从下文的pasture和shed可以推断出该空应填farm，即年轻人去农场求婚。]
3．A [农场主上下(up and down)打量这个年轻人。here and there表示“到处”；again and
again表示“一再”；little by little 表示“一点一点地”，都不符合语境。]
4．C [农场主告诉年轻人他会一头一头地放出(let out)三头公牛，只要年轻人能抓住任何一头牛的尾巴，他就把女儿嫁给她。set out表示“出发；开始做”； give out表示“放出(热、光等)；分发”；take out表示“拿出，取出”，都不符合语境。因此选C项。]
5．D [从18空所在句子可知，年轻人要抓的是牛尾巴，故用tail。]
6．A [根据上下文可知，年轻人焦急地(anxiously)等着第一头公牛的出现。] 7．D [几分钟后，一头牛朝他冲过来，介词用to/toward。] 8．B [这是他见过的最大、最丑的一头牛。年轻人想下一头可能会好点儿。这里the next one表示“下一头牛”。A项表示“最后的”；C项表示“两头中的另外一头”；D项another前面不应该有冠词the。]
9．A [年轻人不去抓第一头牛，让它穿过(cross)牧场。pass经过；leave离开；enter进入，都不符合语境。]

12．C [年轻人想第二头牛真是太可怕了，下一头(第三头)应该不会这么可怕(frightening)。frightening可怕的，符合语境，也照应前面的terrible。exciting令人兴奋的；surprising令人吃惊的；amazing令人惊奇的。]
13．D [他害怕得匆忙躲(hide)在了栏杆后面。]
14．B [很快第三头牛出来了，看到(seeing)它，年轻人很高兴。look at强调看的动作；watch通常用于观看电视、比赛等；observe多指非常仔细地观察；而see则表示看到的结果。]
15．A [这头牛不仅体型小，而且力气小。与前面两头牛相比，第三头牛体型小，故用size“大小”。]
16．B [此处very是形容词，“the very＋名词”表示强调，意为“正是……”。这里指正是适合他的牛。]
17．A [牛冲过来时，年轻人准备行动了。act采取行动；behave举止，表现； run奔跑；perform表演，执行。]

语篇定位
本文是一篇议论文。一些专家通过观察、分析认为，比较成功的减肥方案包括均衡饮食和坚持锻炼，只有这样才会有较好的效果。
长难句分析
Experts at the National Institutes of Health say to lose weight，a person should do some moderate or intensive physical exercise most days of the week.
该句中“to lose weight”是目的状语；moderate 是形容词，意为“中等的”。句意为：国家健康协会的专家说，为了减肥，人们应该在一周的大多数日子参加一些中等强度或高强度的体育活动。
1．D [细节理解题。根据前两段中的有关信息，尤其是第一段中的“A doctor may advise medical interventions(医疗干预) in addition to changes in behavior. But experts say the more successful weight-loss plans include a well-balanced diet and exercise.”可知，医疗干预、均衡的
饮食和锻炼都对减肥有利。故答案为D项。]
2．C [推理判断题。根据第二段中的“...to balance the number of calories they eat with the number of calories they use.”以及下文中的情节可知应选C项。]
3．B [段意归纳题。本段主要告诉我们“the Atkins diet”这种饮食计划对减肥有较好的效果，解题时联系该段最后的“At the end of a year，the women on the Atkins diet had lost the
most，more than four and a half kilograms on average.”可知答案。]
4．B [细节理解题。第二段中的“...intensive physical exercises most days of the week.”说明一周的大多数日子都要进行锻炼才会对减肥有好的效果，根据最后一段也能看出，坚持锻炼，减肥效果才能保持。]
5．A [标题选择题。文章分析了造成肥胖的一些因素，并结合对实验的观察和分析告诉我们，什么样的减肥方案才是科学有效的，因此A项正确。]
